was a woman of Intelligence, did not
write her own paper, the obliging au

literature on the subject of Chinese mls

had a busy week before her and thought
no more of the missionary paper until
one morning she opened on envelope,
from which fell a programme of the
missionary convention, bearing In large
letters, amongother announcements, the
statem'ent that Mrs. William Henry
Brown would read a paper on mission
work In China. Mrs. Brown almost
fainted.

■craao tbe way and Interview Mr* I»r
Creed, the wife nf the clergyman, who
waa a connection by marrtagr- of the
lAowna. Mr*. (Teed admitted having
read many mltslanary paper* tn her
day. but gnva Kran< e* a eaoAjr and
■all ahe wa* aurr y *he i ould not help
her mamma nut nf th<- dilemma. I'oaal
hly Mr*. Creed trw auaptr lou# of tb*
gravity nf a paper that cam* from the
pen of the tiumorou* Mrm. Brown. At
any rote. Kroner* went home rynfcal
and unaucevaeful, declining to eat tha
cooky.
At lunchaon time Mr*. Brown came
home eg haunted and despairing and
dispatched Mary, the housemaid, to the
family phy*tHan. with ,a note re<iueal
tng "any tnjrt of a dnae that will put a
lit! A courage Inin a forlorn woman who
ha* to rend a mlaalonary paper." The
doctor, without n smile, returned half
a dosen pink !<<*rn«ao, with directions
that they were to be eaten at Intervals
of an hour.
After having partaken of one of them
Mr*. Brown felt her courage rally and
started off quite cheerfully to the con
vention. eaylng that she knew In all
that gathering of lovely Christian wo
men there wa* sure to be one whb, see
ing her anguish, would consent to read
the paper. When she reached the
church, she found It surrounded by car
riages and the auditorium packed with
people. There were many lovely Chrla
thin women present, but none of them
was willing to read Ihe Chinese mission
paper.
Her faith In women sadly shattered,
Mrs. Brown aat near the door and ate
another pink losenge. Mrs. Rmlth bus
tled up and shook hands.
“You must come right up front and
alt near the pulpit." said she.
“I don't want to go up front, and T
Just can't read a paper before those wo
men “ feebly protested the victim. Mr*.
Smith was too experienced a worker on
programme commit toes to heed this and
chattered volubly on auch toplos ** the
Weather and the health of the Brown
family aa she lightly drew Mrs. Brown
to the front pew. where ah# seated her
among a bevy of eyeglassed elderly la
dles. each armed with a roil of manu
script.
Whispering a few words to the usher
who hovered at the end of the pew. Mrs.
Smith disappeared. Mr*. Brown felt
that her fate was sealed, for the usher
kept eying Ihe newcomer suspiciously.
She felt sure that Mrs. Smith had warn
ed the young woman to keep an eye on
her lest Ihe writer of the paper on Chi
neae mlsslona should escape from the
church, ns she had threatened to do.
The first speech was from a real live
missionary lady from Shanghai.
“Nothing could have bon worse.”
sighed Mrs Brown. "She will catch rue
In every mistake."
There was a din In Mrs. Brown's ears
like unto Ihe bombarding of Santiago
as the suave, elegantly gowned presi
dent announced:
“We will now listen to a paper on the
condition of the Chinese mission Held.
It was prepared and will be rend by
that gifted writer, Mrs. William Henry
Brown."
Mrs. Brown say* that she was Imme
diately stricken deaf, dumb and blind,
fer ths first vague consciousness she
had was of unrolling her paper on the
platform Down below tbe lavender

feel w ith their eyes. You want to pick
up something queer, something that no
body else has. Now. Mrs. Van Kens
salaer Pruger possesses a something
that has a real tang to it. It is a cra
dle in which was rocked the great Na
poleon and which she picked tip In one
of ihose secondhand shops in Paris. It
is vouched for and is filled every day
with great masses of flowers, so that
where once the restless brain was quiet
now there ave the perfume and beauty
of the blossoms, something that the em
peror of the French or the prisoner in
St. Helena never gave a thought to.
Then in jewels you must have odd,

and made In such a way that each had
| a special use. There is a queer silver
j ring, with an uncut emerald in it. that
I rests In a well filled bric-a-brac table,
and this is said to have been worn by
one of Napoleon’s numerous loves and
to have been brought by him from
Egypt. Another odd ring shows a heavy
band of gold, each end terminating In
such a way that there is a space left
so that the flesh shows between. The
I one end is an asp, the other a tiny

white. Thai was one of Ctesar Borgia’s

Of course every one Is aware that un
der the name of "tea" we often drink a
heter ige which has no acquaintance
with the cal leaf. But there are aev
! eral "teas" which are not fraudulent
* manufactures, though they are not
made of tea leaves. ,
In Mauritius, for Instance, they make
teu of the leaves of an orchid. In Peru
they drink mate, a tea made from a na
■ tjYp speuics of holly. The Ahysainlans
make a tea from the leaves of the Catha
• edulis, which lias such stimulating
qualities that even a leaf or two of It
chewed has all the reviving effect of
••the cup that cheers" and thus Is most
valuable to travelers.
The Tasmanians are said to be tho
happv possessors of no less than 100
substitutes for tea. while the Tonquinesc
huve teas of their own made of berries,
leaves, woods and hark of trees. In
Sumatra coffee leaves arc Infused in tha
teapot, and the result la said to he an
excellent beverage.
The Valne of Exercise.
Any one who does not take time for
exercise will probably have to maka
time to be ill.
Exercise gradually increases the
physical powers and gives strength to
resist sickness.
Exercise does for the body what intel
lectual training does for the mind—ed
ucates and strengthens it.
A sound and healthy body Is the foun
dation of all that goes to make life a
success. Exercise will enable you to
obtain it.
N'ext to Sleep, light, brisk and varied
exercise will rest the tired brain more
than anything else.
Metal rusts ir not used, and the body
becomes diseased if not exercised.
