WOMAN'S
MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
MISS Kl.
j EniTOllH.
MIts. It.
Believing that the readers of this
column will be interested in knowing
something of the practical operations
of the Woman’s Board of Foreign
Missions, we give the following fncts,
which nre gathered from reading the
“Twentieth Annual Report:”
*‘The Women’s Foreign Missionary
Society of the M. E. Church, South, is
controlled by an executive body
known ns the Woman’s Board if For
eign Missions. This board consists of
a president, two vice-presidents, one
secretary, a treasurer, recording sec
retary nnd six managers, who are
elected quadrennially. The opera
tions of other Woman’s Boards are
conducted in connection with the pa
rent board, nnd nre subject to its ad
vice and approval. The Woman’s
Board meets annually to determine
what fields shall be occupied, the
number of persons employed in each,
and to estimate and appropriate the
amount necessary for the support of
the missions under its charge. All
the missionaries, teachers, physicians,
and bible women employed by the
Woman’s Board nre subject to the ap
pointing power of the Bishop having
charge of the mission field in which
they labor. The Woman’s Board
draffs nil by-laws nnd rules governing
the Auxiliaries.
“As to salaries of the members of
the Woman’s Bonrd: The traveling
expenses of officers nnd mnnngers are
paid to and from the meetings, but
they do not receive salary, except*
the corresponding secretary, who is
paid $1,200 annually. The work of
this ofllce is very onerous and re
quires all of her time. The president
ia allowed $250 in prosecuting the
work of the bonrd. ^our hundred
dollars is appropriated for treasurer’s
office, and, of course, all publications
ordered by the bonrd, such ns leaflets,
annunl reports, programmes, life
certificates, mile-boxes, etc., and cost
pf mailing are paid out of the treas
ury. .Tins’ Cfillor of The Woman’s
Missionary Advocate Is paid $100 per
month from receipts of paper. The
aaaistant to agent of The Woman’s
.ssionary Advocate receives $500
from receipts of paper. Mrs. Wilson,
editor of Leaflets, Is paid $150 and al
lowed $50 for ofllce expenses annu
ally. Editor of The Little Worker,
salary $750 from receipts ol paper,
If possible.
“Now, ns to expenses nnd snlaries
in foreign tlelds: Ail of the missiona
ries employed in foreign fields by the
Woman’s Bonrd receive the same sal
aries—$750 annunlly. The duties of
our missionaries for the first year in
the Held are arranged so as to give a
greater part of their time to the study
of the language, and their Bnlary for
that year is $500. .Should they’ not
learn the language well enough the
first year, they continue the second
year with salary and work of the first.
Medical missionaries are not included
in this provision. The traveling ex
penses arc paid from their homo to
the mission field. A sulllciont sum is
granted for personal outfit. Their
aalaries do not begin until they reach
the Held of labor. The salary of a
missionary is not to be regarded in
any seuse as compensation for labor
performed, nor is it graded to suit the
different abilities of the individual, as
in the ordinary business occupations.
The amount received by the mission
ary is supposed to be what is neceH-
•ary for her support while in the field.
Compensation lor this service will be
found in the privilege of teaching the
truth us it is iu Christ to the Qenttles.”
- tJPAI.lKK'ATTONS AN!) OBI.ICIATIONS OK
MISSIONARIES,
At the last meeting of the board it
was “Resolved, that hereafter all mis
sionary candidates, unless exception
ally qualified by practical experience
as Christian workers and teachers, be
required to take the course of study
prescribed iu the Scarritt Bible and
Training School before acceptance by
the board. The age of a missionary
candidate must not ,be less thin 25
nor more than 35 years.”
The testimonials of a missionary
may be sunimed up as follows:
Health, education, capabilities for
teaching, with a general fitness for
the work and a consecrated purpose.
These are essential qualities in mis
sion work. No candidate will be ac
cepted unless she promise to give five
years of service to the board from
the time she reaches the field, unless
health should fail. If she returns be
fore the expiration of the five years,
abe refunds to the board the amount
of traveling expenses and outfit.
Missionaries are required to give their
entire time and attention to their le
gitimate work, and are not allowed
to make public or private appeals for
tends to aid in support of work with*
ont the knowledge and approval of
the board, nor are they permitted to
involve the society in any expense or
open new work without the consent
of the board.
What are the duties of the agents
of our missionaries? They are to have
general supervision of all the work
within their district and are appointed
to facilitate business with the board.
They must visit each school and mis
sion in their territory annually and
send in reports as to the condition of
the work, with recommendation as to
any change they deem advisable. Ev
ery missionary is expected to work
under the advice and in harmonious
relation with the agent appointed
over that part of the field to which
she has been assigned, through whom
she receives ail instructions nnd ail
funds and sends quarterly and annual
reports to the corresponding secreta
ry of the board.
j Appropriations: It was resolved by
| the Woman’s Board at the last annti-
: al meeting, “That no appropriation
of mission funds shall be made to any
mission school In foreign fields, in
which instruction based upon the bi
ble or parts thereof is not regularly
given to all classes as a part of Lhe
prescribed curriculum in the school.
Summary of appropriations for
1808-Vt!) made by the Woman’s Board
is as follows: China, $27,S)00, Korea,
$2,000; Mexico, $30,240; Brazil,
$20,025; Indian Territory, $5,000;
opening work In Cuba, $1,000. Total,
$08,700. Out of Oils sum is paid the
salaries of fifty-three missionaries,
one hundred nnd thirty-two native
holpcrs, tliirty-sevon bible women,
taxes, insurance, and repnirs on
$341,800 worth of property owned by
the Woman’s Board. The twelve wo
men who so judiciously manage the
work in six foreign fields that, out of
each one dollar given, ninety-seven
cents reaches the foreign field, are
women of great executive ability,
and we should feel proud of our Wo
man’s Board, and the work carried
on and supported by the Woman’s
Foreign Missionary Societies.

An Editor’s Pass.
Printer’s Ink.
One of the beauties and charms of
an editor’s life Ih his dead-heading it
on all occasions. No one who has
ever feasted on tho sweets of tlmt
bliBs can begin to take in the glory of
its (nippiness. He does $100 worth of
advertising for a railroad, gets a
“puss” for a year, rides $25 worth,
and then is looked upon as a dead
head or half-blown dead-heat, lie
“puITt}” a concert troupe $30 worth
and gets $1 in complimentary tickuts
and is thus “passed” free. If the hall
is crowded he is begrndged ( Uie room
he occupies, for if his con'iplimenta-
ries were paying tickets ^tho troupe
would be so much in pocket. Ho
blows and puiTs a church, festival free
to any desired extent, ftid does the
poster printing at haft rates, and
rurely gets a “thank you” for it. It
goes as purt of his duty as an editor.
He does more gratuitously for the
town and community than all tho rest
of the population put together, and
gets cussed for it all; while in many
instances where a man donates a few
dollars to a Fourth of July celebra
tion, base hall club or church, he is
gratefully remembered. Oh, it is
such a nice thing to he cnlled an ed
itor. He passes “free,” you know.
Healthy, Happy Children
nre those whose mothers have been,
nnd are, healthy. The best-inten-
tloned woman in the world will fall
short of her duty to her children if
she is worried and wearied with
weakness and sickness. Most all irri
table women are sick women. Most
all melancholy, listless, languid wo
men are sick women. Every woman
who will take the trouble to notice,
will find that at certain fixed periods
she is nervous, cross, irritable and
despondent. Any irregularity makes
the conditions worse. Even n well
woman is less amiable than usual at
these times. What can be expected
from a sick woman? When every
movement is a dreary drag, when the
nerves are all on edge in sympathy
with the particular ones affected—
when it seems that death were very
much preferable to living—what can
a woman do for children then?
It is every woman’s duty to be well
and healthy. There is no reason why
she should be otherwise if only she
will take proper care of herself and
take Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion when she needs it. This celebra
ted remedy has been used in the In
valids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute at
Buffalo, N. Y., of which Dr. Pierce is
Chief Consulting Physician and spe
cialist, for over 30 years. Thousands
of women have been cured by it

of
Unlike riinrmera.
It is generally supposed that the eer-
“pnnts exhibited by snake charmers have
been deprived of their fangs, and this
is donhtless often the ease, while one
instance at least is recorded in which
\ the mouth of the snake had been sewed
! together to prevent it from biting.
The writer noticed at the Ceylon ox-
fan jitinn. given some years ago in Lon-
! don, that one of tho snake charmers,
finding the cobra he was exhibiting he-
I coining too lively and uggres.-ive, seized
tho reptile by the neck and thrust it
' hastily into the small round basket in
I which it was carried, at the same time
■ pushing it with a voluminous white
cloth, at-which it hit savagely. Having
almost closed the lid.of the bask, t. (lie
man drt w away the cloth violently,
thus doubtless dragging out the fangs
which were fastened in it. Ho then se
cured the basket and carried it away.
This, of c-’iirse, required a large amount
of cool .Turago as well as great quick
ness of hand and eye, all of which quali
ties must bo doubly necessary in cap
turing and laming these deadly reptiles.
But if wo nre astonished at the skill
and dexterity displayed by Indian snake
charmers, still more must we marvel at
the hardihood of tho American Indians,
who, in their snake dances, not only
handle the drndly rattlesnake with im
punity, but absolutely carry it about in
their mouths.—Westminster Review.
Tli<*nter Tickets.
The fact that a ticket bought for a
theater and not used on the date stamp
ed on it is always good for an admit
tance is not generally known and prob
ably theater managers would take very
little trouble to spread knowledge of
the fact, but it is nevertheless true.
"A man who buys a reserved Heat for
a theater," said a theater treasurer who
hnndles more tickets every season than
any other in New York, “may not use
it en the evening for which he bought
it. ‘Good for this date only’ may bn
stamped on the pasteboard. That would
seem to mean that the ticket could ho
used at no other time. Probably most
of the public accept that as proving the
impossibility of making use of the tick
et, and therefore few make any attempt
to get the worth of their money when
they nre prevented by any cause from
using tlie ticket on the date marked on
it. But it could be presented at any
time and would be good for an admis
sion.
“Any theater manager would have
to recognize the holder's rif«t to enter
the theater, although that would, of
course, carry with it no right to the
seat. It is tlmt right which is limited
by the printed date. For all other pur
poses the ticket is quite as good as if
used on the date it bears."—New York

Senator Hoar is not a stingy man,
but bo looks out for the pennies. He
was riding on a street car one day, re
lates a Washington correspondent, and
had just completed a transaction with
the conductor involving the payment of
a quarter of a dollar for six car tickets
—I I-it cents a ticket—when an ac
quaintance got on board and took the
seat next to him. The acquaintance
handed the conductor a nickel and
turned to open up a conversation with
tlie Massachusetts senator. The senator
fidgeted in his seat a minute and then
broke in with the remark. "I am glad
to see that yon are prosperous.”
“ProsperousI" exclaimed the other
man. "Why, I am poor as a church
mouse I”
“Excuse me: I thought yon must ho
rich. I am comfortably well off myself,
but l have never l’elt that I could afford
to pay .5 cents for a ride in a street car
when i could get six rides for a quar
ter. ’'

There Jh a barber shop in an up town
avenue in New York where music goes
with every shave. Never a barber is hired
there who cannot twinkle the sweet
mandolin or plunk the dreamy guitar,
l’lio gentleman who can play on no in
strument but the razor and the shears
has no welcome in this tonsorial parlor,
for the boss barber is musical and loves
to mingle celestial strains with the tor
ture of tho barber chair. Whenever a
chair is vacant, the attendant geniut
sits him down and performs on his fa
vorite instrument.
Ilnd Nut Forgotten It.
The ward heeler, with whom the am
bitions politician had been in consulta
tion an hour or more, shook his bead
slowly.
“1 don’t know how it will turn out,”
he said. "But I’ll do the best I can fox
you. How about the liquor question Y"
“I was about to ask it," replied the
ambitious politician. “What’ll you
take V'—Chicago Tribune.
Tlir Infinity of g|,nce.
“Among the photographs you hav«
seen," said Sir Robert Ball, “there are
stars so far distant frotnlhis earth that
if the glad tidings of that first Christ
mas 1,800 years ago had been dispatch
ed then by an electric current which
could speed seven times round our globe
between every two ticks of the clock
'they would not yet have received them. ”
Her Prlvnlc Punch.
The women hurried along Adams
street from the Art institute on their
way to the Woman's Euchre club at
Iiiindel hall.
"Just run in with me here a min
ute," said one. "I’ve got to get me e
punch. "
The clerk showed a collection ot
punches that made. holes of various
shapes.
"No," said the shopper. “I want
just a simple, round punch—this size."
And she abstracted a cardboard from
her pocki t that showed the size of the
perforation.
"Oh. very well!" said the clerk. “We
have it. But it’s not called for very of
ten for private games. " And the punch
was brought out and sold promptly.
The second woman wondered what
her friend wanted of that particular
punch, but kept her curiosity to herself.
The game was exciting, and. as 1 ho
friend is a good player, she won eight
games. The second woman noticed this
particularly. But when the score cards
were exhibited the friend had II credit
marks punched in her score card. The
other woman saw then the wherefore
of tlie particular punch they had bought.
The friend had won eight games, and
then had done a little punching with a
private punch.
The prizes at these club contests are
quite valuable, and the spirit of gam
bling has I ecome so pronounced among
some of the players that they are not
above resorting to unfair means to cap
ture them.—Chicago Inter Ocean.
Her Even I im Unn n.
It is undeniable that foreign diplo
mats in Washington frequently find
themselves at a loss owing to the nov
elties presented to them by American
customs. Even the language offers diffi
cult irs.
Only the other day the Guatemalan
minister was speaking to some Wash
ington ladies of what he regarded as a
remarkable social experience met with
here at Hie capital. He had been invit
ed to an afternoon reception.
“And do yon know, "he said, "the
hostess received the guests in a night
gown !"
“Good heavens!" replied the Indies
to whom this information wns ad- ,
dressed. “Surely you ure joking; Mr. !
Minister!"
“Not at all. T assure you,” reiterated
tha diplomat. “It was in her nightdress i
that we were received—low neck and I
bare arms!"
“Oil. jnn mean evening dress, do yon !
not. Mr. Minister?" suggested one of
the ladies.
"Yes. that is what I mean." admit- j
ted Senor Arriaga: “low neck and bare j
arms, just like the costume for tho i
opera or hall. ’’
As may bo imagined, the laugh was
at the minister's expense. In Washing
ton ladies quite commonly wear even
ing dress when giving afternoon recep
tions. —Boston Herald.
