WOMAN’S MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
“Wavs arc not scarce nor cltnnces few
For those who Ioiir (ioil's work to do."
It is evident front the correspond
ence of the past year, nnd the much
larger demands for help from our
missionaries, that the work in each
field is extending—that our work is
taking stronger hold upon the people.
In Mexico the schools have never
been so well attended, and the pat
ronage never before so largely of the
better class. In China the seed which
has been sown for nearly one hundred
years has taken root and has borne
fruit, nnd will continue to bear fruit.
The year just cloned has been one of
prosperity. Of the 400,000,000 souls
there, 80,000 are Protestant Chris
tians. This number may look sninll
in comparison, but the Cord is on our
side; we are bound to win Chinn for
Christ. Korea, ns fnr ns our mission
there is concerned, though compara
tively young, grows npnee. The Ko
reans nre eager to learn. They want
something that will give them a place
among the advanced nations, nnd
that something being Christianity,
they are ready to accept it. Iira7.il 1b
aeeing the light nnd discarding old su
perstitions, and opening the bible
which lias been so long n sealed book.
When Christ Bald He came to us
that our “joy might be full,” we think
it is a strange statement, observing
Him to be “n man of sorrows and ac
quainted with grief,” until we come
to understand that it was only by
•bowing the world how to sufler di
vinely, how to take the burden of all
men’s wretchedness within our heart,
that we could be taught how to be
glad divinely, how to know “the
peace of (lod which passeth all un
derstanding." Salvation — civiliza
tion: lloth mean the rising of man
from the lower to the higher life. Sal
vation is the Father's uplift; civiliza
tion is the upward push of mutual ef
fort. The Father’s nid comes down
by the cross—tiie brother’s aid comes
up by the way of the cross. Salvation
—civilization: There is neither with
out calvary.
Mulberry Street Methodist church,
Macon, (in., agreed in March to sup
port a single missionary in Cuba. For
this they pledged $(100 over and nbovo
the regulnr apportionment upon the
church. The issue in Cuba is no long
er between Itomnnism nnd Protest
antism, but it is between Protestantism
and Atheism. Homanism is doomed,
whether Protestantism does or does
not evungelize the island. The dan
ger is that Protestantism may delay
too long to go to them. Tho “Pearl
of the Antilles” is worthy to bo
seized and set in our Master's crown.
From Santiago, Rev. II. B. Somme-
ilian writes that the Lord is blessing
the work most wonderfully, many
having oxprcBBed their readiness to
accept Christianity. The school start
ed there, with MIbs Carson of Geor
gia as principal, has grown from eight
to thirty-two. There is urgent need
of funds for its equipment. Lot us
show our love for the cause in mate
rial help, as well us our love in our
prayers.
Educated natives in Japan nnd In
dia are beginning to realize the value
of Christian home-life. A Japanese
gentleman lately remarked, “Tho re
ligion that makes the purest nnd hap
piest home will always be the best for
any couutry. If Christianity does
that, it is the right religion for Ja
pan.”
At Elberton, tin., n short time ngo,
among the liberal responses for mis
sions, Joe Lee, n young Chinaman,
who has recently joined the Sunday-
school and seems to be much inter
ested in the church, walked to the
front and laid down live dollars. The
converted heathens are liberal, and
give the best they have to Uod.
The work of foreign missions
broadens one’s mental as well as one’s
spiritual horizon. The salvation of
every land is the limit of faith and
hope and work.
The last command of our risen Lord
to his disciples, “Go ye into all the
world and preach the gospel to every
creature.”
The average Southern negro looks
upon a funeral as a function to be en
joyed, and one at which all the fine
feathers of the women and the loud
clothing of the men should be shown.
Not long since a very largely attend
ed funeral was passing along a promi
nent street. An old negro, impressed
by the number of carriages, and
wishing to express his admiration,
exclaimed: “Lawdy! Lawdy! Dat
•ho’ is er big die!”

A Blaine-Reed Incident.
Tom Reed is quoted as having said
the day before he sailed on the “Now
York:” “One of the little things of
life that hurts me more than anything
else that ever happened was a pass I
received from Mr. Blaine when he
was Speaker of the House. Of course,
I never expected to hold that exalted
office, and when it fell to me 1 re
membered. Ho wns exactly twenty
years ahead of me in tho Speaker-
ship, nnd 1 supposed we were great
friends. I wrote to him for a pass or
permit to go through tho vaults of
tho Capitol with a few friends, and
there came hack a simple pass for
myself, properly signed and counter
signed, hut not n Iriendly lino from
tho Speaker. It cut me to the quick,
and I threw the paper away. It took
mo a good many years to get over
what I regarded as a slight, hut in the
end everything was explained. The
circumstance, however, taught me a
lesson in courtesy—of which we all
supposed Blninb was a past master.
If ever a friend or acquaintance asked
mo for n pass or permit, which it wrb
in my power to give, 1 never failed to
write, or to have my secretary write,
a note expressing the pleasure it gave
mo to comply with tho modest re
quest. It has made for mo more
friends than anything else I have ever
done since 1 went to Congress, in
1877.”
W. M. Gallagher, of Bryan, Pa.,
says: “For forty years I have tried
various cough medicines. One Min
ute Cough Cure is the best of all.” It
relieves instnntly and cures all throat
and lung trouble. G. R. Bradley.
The womnn whose figure is rather
square than tapering requires fitting
nnd trimmings with a running in at
the waist-line with pointed effect,
and to accentuate this koop a broad
look at the shoulders by the addition
of broad collars, revers or shoulder-
caps. And the bolt—for she is bound
to wear a belt in this day—should
have a decided drop in front with a
sharp-pointed effect. ,Beits are now
mnde a prominent feature of a bodice,
and most of them differ in color and
material from the waist; but the
short-woisted woman must always

It is reported from Honolulu thnt
just beforo the battleship “Oregon”
sniled from that port for Mnniln tho
mascot pig Blanco, which was cap
tured from tho Spanish cruiser Cristo
bal Colon during the engagement off
Santiago, was tenderly taken ashore
in the sailing barge. It seems tiiat
Blanco’s hoofs* were wearing off on
the hard deck of the “Oregon” and it
wns thought best to send the Spanish
pig to the San Francisco zoo.

Many quaint and some grotesque ob
servances of Good Friday have prevail
ed in various localities. In Brighton
the custom of skipping the rope on that
day led t.o the use of the term “Long
Rope day. " Six or eight adults, with a
long rope, skipped at one time. In the
Sussex villages men and hoys piny mar
bles. At St. Bartholomew’s church,
London. 21 old women appear and be
fore a crowd of curious onlookers bend
their stiffened, aged knees topickup 21
sixpences.
This latter custom had its origin be
fore the great tire, when an eccentric
womnn left her property to have 21
sixpences laid upon her gravestone in
St. Bartholomew's church, which were
annually to ho picked tip by aged wid
ows.
At the Church of All Hallows the
youngest boys of the Blue Coat school

In London and all over England tho
entingof “hot cross bnns" is the special
feature of the day. The original home
of this English custom is said to he in
Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire.
There, wherever tho old Roman roads

Once you have seen a "color" in the
bottom of a pan with tiie black sand
following it around like n faithful serv
ant, yon can never again he deceived
by (lie false glitter of any other parti
cles. You would know it if you saw it
between cobblestones in Broadway or
if it were no larger than a pinhead at
tlie bottom of a trout pool.
For the moment the yellow pile makes
you feel like seeking a claim of your
own and harvesting its treasure for
yourself. But when yon look nt tiie
miry path along tho base of tho moun
tain by the creek side and think of fol
lowing it with a paek on your back un
til it is no more and a wilderness be
gins; think of passing on over the
mountains until you come to what yon
consider a likely place and thawing
through 80 feet of earth at the rate of
a foot a day in the haphazard possibili
ty of finding "pay dirt.” yon conclude
that tiie poetry of the thing can he bet
ter appreciated by sitting on some one
else’s dump. — Frederick Palmer in

I bless all the apostolic college of
humorists. The man that makes me
laugh is my benefactor. I do not thank
anybody to make me cry. I can do that
without any assistance. We all cry
enough and have enough to cry about.
God bless nil skillful punsters, all re-
parteeists, all propounders of ingenious
conundrums, all those who mirthfully
surprise us with unusual juxtaposition
of words. Thomas Hood and Charles
Dickens and Sydney Smith had a divine
mission, and so have their successors in
these times. They stir into the acid
beverage of life the saccharine. They
make the cup of earthly existence,
which is sometimes stale, effervesce and
bubble. They placate animosities. They
foster longevity. They slay follies and
absurdities which all tiie sermons of
all the pulpits cannot reach.—T. De
Witt Talmage.

A little boy went to church with his
mother. The service was somewhat
long and utterly incomprehensible to
the child. Consequently he fidgeted.
His mother reproved him several times.
At last she leaned toward him. “Bob

I’ll never bring yon to church again."

He Didn't Need It.
Could the funny payings and inci
dents at the tenants’ dinners in Scot
land be collected they would make an
unrivaled book of humor. Mistakes of
amusing and sometimes embarrassing
nature occur frequently at such func
tions. One story is told of a guest at a
Scottish tenants’ dinner who tasted ice
cream for the first time on that occa
sion. He pnslied a large spoonful of the
frozen mixture into his mouth nnd
jumped from liis chair with agony ex
pressed on his face. He let out a yell i
and cried out, "Ow, ow. um rotten |
tooth!” and could not be induced to eat
any more.
At another Scottish affair of (lie kind
a good old farmer was seated next to
the hostess. She served him a bit of
savory omelet, which seemed to cause
the old man deep disappointment.’ Ilis
idea of an omelet had always been a
dessert with sngnr. or frnit or jams,
and after tasting tho sample before him
he turned to the hostess and said,
“Weal, ma lady. I canna compliment
you on your pnddin's."
The late Duke of Bncclench told a
story of a tenant at one of tho farmers’
dinners on liis estates who was asked
by the duchess if he would take some
rhubarb, a dish she was fond of. The
farmer was surprised, but answered
politely. "I'm mtickle obleeged to your
grace, but 1 dinna' need it."

A bright chap who has traveled much
told me that some years ago he met a
man where he hud camped, in the min
ing districts of California, who could
make the New York doctors nshurtied of
the regular practice in n case of pneu
monia. Said lie "It stands to reason
The claim of the man is this: Unless
some part of the digestive process is
clogged pneumonia is impossible, and it
is even quite difficult to take cold if tiie
circulation of tho fluids of the body is
free.
“His method is simplicity itself. In
the first place, to start with, he gives h
big dose of physic and puts liis man into
lots of blankets, and then tie gathers
all the bottles he can find in the camp
and fills tliein with hot water nnd heats
every part of the man hut liis head. As
soon ns ho thinks the physic is out of
his stomach, lie makes him sip hot wa
ter. Just ns soon ns he sees a drop of
perspiration on his forehead he will say :
‘I've got you. old man. Keep the heat
going until the pills operate freely, and
don’t let him take cold.’ 1 have seen
