THE PRESBYTERI
tloned In ancient history, only two survive
to-day. Of these one Is scattered
throughout the earth, awaiting Its final
resurrection, and China la the other.
China Is passing through a state of
change. It Is the plastic period, when
it is possible to mould a great nation
toward high and noble things. This
plastic period will pass, and in its place
will come hardness and rigidity. If we
do not give them bread, they will take
a stone, if we do not give them Christianity,
they will pasB into a state of
agnosticism and infidelity, and their
last state will be worse than the flrBt.

BEING AGREEABLE.
It requires tact and judgment, as we
all know, to decide when It Is beBt to
talk and when to listen. In the presence
of men and women of superior
talents and accomplishments, or of
wide experience of the world, we must
be wary and not let our vanity run
away with us. To such persons we
may not be able to afford Intellectual
stimulus, and, therefore, It will be well
to avoid giving our opinions at length,
unless these are called for. With men
and women of small talent and accomplishment
we must also te on our
guard lest they And us didactic and
wearisome. It Is with our Intellectual
equals, with persons of & generour
disposition who like to draw out the
talents of others, that we feel the greatest
freedom and attain the happiest results.?Harper's
Bazar.
If boys are taught to be gentle and
chivalrous toward the'r sisters, they
will treat all women In the same way.
There Is no necessity for formality In
the (home, but brothers and Bisters
should be just as polite to each other
as they would be to strangers. The
mere fact that they are closely related
does not give them the right to treat
each other like wild little animals. It
Is hard for a busy mother to exact
politeness from a large family of children.
but If she begins from their Infancy,
they will soon get the habit, and
It will become second nature. Don't
get too far away from your own people.
Don't forget or neglect them, for
they are your best friends. No other
woman will feel for you as your mother
does. She may not see you for years,
but your place Is there In her heart
just the same. Blood Is thicker than
water, and no matter where you go or
whom you meet, your own people should
always hold the first place In your
heart.?Ex.
Every one of those limbs and knots
and gnarls he had puzzled about was
there: every one grew out of the heart.
And the germ, the starting point of
every single one, was the center of the
heart.?Normal Instructor.
THE DOCTOR HABIT
And How She Overcame It
When well selected food has helped
the honest physician place his patient
in sturdy health and free from the
"doctor habit" it is a source of satisfaction
to all parties. A Chicago woman
says:
"We have not had a doctor in the
house during all the 5 years that we
have been uBing Grape-Nuts food. Before
we began, however, we had "the
.doctor habit" and scarcely a week went
by without a call on our physician.
"VMien our youngest boy arrived, 5
years ago, I was very much run down
and, nervous, suffering from indigestion
and almost continuous headaches. I
was not able to attend to my ordinary
domestic duties and was so nervous
.that 1 could scarcely control myself.
Under advice I took Grape-Nuts.
"I am now, and have been ever since
we began to use Grape-Nuts food, able
to do all my own work. Tbe dyspepsia,
headaches, nervousness and rheumatism
.which used to drive me fairly wild,
h'ave entirely disappeared.
"My husband finds that in the night
work in which he is engaged, GrapeNuts
food supplies him the most wholesome,
strengthening and satisfying
juncn ne ever tooR wltli him." Name
