It Is well known that the Chinese language is one of the most difficult to master, and for us to attempt this task after we have finished our school years is excessively trying and difficult. Cer tainly the mistakes one hears of as be ing made by those who begin to talk and, worse still, preach in a language they fondly imagine they have mas tered are ludicrous in the extreme.

The spirit of love and kindliness to all which pervaded every word and deed of Phillips Brooks did not hinder his keen appreciation of others’ fail ings and shortcomings or his own. “Why in the world doesn’t Brown write his autobiography and have it published?” said one of the bishop’s friends, referring to an Incessant talker and most egotistical man who had been wasting an hour of the bishop’s most precious tlihe by a rehearsal of some unimportant happenings. “Why, he’d rather tell it, of course,” said the-bishop, and then like a flash came regret for the quickly spoken truth, and he turned on his friend with a half humorous, half distressed face. “What do you mean by asking me such a question as that when I’m off my guard?!’ he demanded reproach fully.—Youth’s Companion.

MlMM| “Setting the River on Fire.” In old English times, when each fam ily was obliged to sift its own flour, it sometimes happened that an energetic man would turn his sieve so rapidly as to canse it to catch fire. The style of sieve used in those days was called a “temse,” and it ‘became a customary saying that a lazy man would never set the temse on fire. Now, it happens that the name of the river Thames is pronounced like the name of this old flour sieve, and after many years, when the old fashioned temse was forgotten, it was thought that setting the temse on fire meant setting the river on fire, and that is why today we say that a stupid person will never set theTiver on fire.—Ladies’ Home Journal.
