The literary lady, who for con venience may be styled Mrs. Brown, 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. “It !e sense terribls mistake on ths part pf some one. I will write to Mrs Smith and call her attention to It said Mrs Brown.

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 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, 1 queer rings that were made by hand 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 ! lotus flower carefully enameled in white.

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.
