dian never dies from the bite
or a mad doe. You will see
the greatest curiosity on earth
if you see an Indian with thb
rabies. They have a remedy
for both. This is the remedy:
Let the snake go about it’s
business. Run to the house,
get an onion about two inches
in diameter, and about three
cents worth of tobacco. Then
get a tablespoon full of salt, cut
the tobacco up pretty fine with
a knife, mix the tobacco and
salt untill it is well mixed. By
putting on a new poultice every
six or twelve hours, it will not
even swell. Apply as soon »as
possible.

Every once m a y while I hear
gome one growl against foreign
missions, because the money and
t jje strength put into them are
ii eeded at home. I did it myself
when I did not know any better,
God forgive mel I know better
now and I will tell you how I
found out. I became interested
in a strong religious awakening
in my old city cf Copenhagen,
and I sat about to investigate
it. It was then that I learned
what others had learned before
me and what was the fact there,
that for every dollar you give
away to convert the heathen
abroad, God gives you ten dol

SCOTCH WOMAN’S MISSION MONEY.
t k If I bestow all my goods to
feed the poor, and if I give
body to be burned, but have
love, it profiteth me nothing. * 8
Cor. xiii. S.) Some one
the story of a Scotch woman who
lived on oatmeal that she might
give to missions, A friend gave
her a sixpence to buy a chop.
She said: 4 6 I have been without
chops nine years; .1 can do with
out the chop.” .The friend some
time after, being at dinner where
a, ii umber of wealthy people were
present, told the story of that
chop. Many were deeply inl
pressed and one lady among
them spoke up and said: i t I never
went without a chop for Christ
yet. I will give a thousand
pounds for missions, j y Anothei
and another spoke, until, around
that dinner table, the old Scotch
woman’s six-pence worth of mut
ton chop had grown into twelve
thousand dollars to send the gos
pel to the heathen, He who fed
the thousands of people with the
few loaves and fishes long ago had
blessed that chop, 'and made it
to feed the multi-
tude again. 0, if there be love
with it, a chop foregone for
Christ’s sake is worth more than
a million dollars given without.

Who can escape from the ever
lasting immortal call to every
reasonable person: “Goye,” “Go
or send 1” The Woman’s For
eign Missionary Society is for wo
men the most practical, and i
the same time the most idc
work they can undertake.
It is tit for high thoughts, fo
patient contemplation, for en
during love, and the most for ener- good
getic action. It is a test
common sense and an outlet for
the most exalted devotion and en
thusiasm. It cultivates all the
graces of mind and heart, and all
the virtues in which man or wo
man may excel; it strengthens
mental power and purifies the
imagination, while it blends with
the sentiments and duties ol ev
eryday life. Above all and be
yond all it refreshes and builds up
the spiritual life of every one who
engages in it with all the heait.
One may ask: “Why does God ex
act such a tribute from us?” Be
cause he thatliveth to himself is
dead. The fate and immortal
distiny of every human being is
interlocked with that of others,
and every act of charactor, wor
ship and of devotion brings hu
manity that much nearer to Christ
and to his Father and our Father
the Almighty God.
