the missionary's Injunction. They
can't understand why we are taught
these things. Why we are called by

other, even their laborers, and it is
rude to eat in the streets. He once
tried to eat some grapes while going
home from a lecture on q hot day, and,
| although he tried to hide the fact, their
! sharp eyes were attracted to him, and
he could see the people were astonished
at his doing what they called extremely
vulgar-quite q contrast to scenes the
Japanese encountered at tho Centen-
NAL, when men went through the park
eating great pieces of gingerbread,
squash pie or something of that sort.
Several street scenes were described
by the lecturer, and among them chill
dren going to school. The rich and
poor are dressed alike, and he asked
why the wealthy did not dress their
children better when they send them to
school. The answer was, because the
poor can't, and they get dissatisfied.
After school all their clothing is
changed and they can be known by
their dress and the attendance of ser
wants.
Their festivals are very beautiful, and
they have a custom of giving three days
in each year to the memory of the dead
in the family. Upon a shelf construct
ed for the occasion, they place cups
containing tea and rice, and a vessel of
flowers, and by these a candle is kept
burning all the time. Ones taste is

The Hearts Of the LOwly.

One day, three or four weeks ago, a
gamin, who seemed to have no friends
in the world, was run over by a vehicle,
on Madison avenue, New York, and
fatally injured. After he had been in
the hospital for a week, a boy about
his own size, and looking as friendless
and forlorn, called to ask about HIM
and leave an orange. He seemed much
embarrassed and would answer no ques.
lions. After that he came daily, al
ways bringing something, if no more
than an apple. Last week, when the
nurse told him that Billy had no chance
to get well, the strange boy waited
around longer than usual, and finally
asked if he could 60 in. He had been
invited to many times before, but had
always refused. Billy, pale and weak
and emaciated, opened his eyes in won
der at the sight of the boy, and before
he realized who it was the stranger bent
close to his face and sobbed:
Chilly, can We forgive a Teller? We
was allus fighting, and 1 was allus too
much for ye; but I'm sorry! Fore ye
die won't ye tell me We haven't any
grudge agin meP"
The young lad, then almost in the
| shadow of death, reached up his thin,
white arms, clasped them around the
others neck, and replied:
Don't cry, Rob. Don't feel bad. !

a,stone at we when the wagon hit me.
If yen forgive me, I'll forgive you, and
I'll pray for both of u.s."
Bob was half an hour late the norm
ing Billy died. When the nurse took
him to the shrouded corpse, he kissed
the pale face tenderly, and gasped:
"D-did he say anything about-about
meP"
"He spoke of you just before he died.
Asked if you were here,'' replied the
nurse.
"And may | go-got to the ~funeralP'
"You may"
And he did. He was the only mourn
er. His heart was the only one that
ached. No tears were shed by others,
and they left him sitting by the new
made grave, with heart so big that he
could not speak.
If under the crust of vice and ignor-
ance there are such springs Of pure
feeling and true nobility, who shall
grow weary of doing good?-N. Y. In

Yet you may not own to your most in

uppermost in your mind. They come
in fragments, like torn bits of some
bright picture, and at times when those

You may be a statesman, lawyer, editor,

the uttermost parts of the earth: the

pare to-day may change the policy of a
government; your face may be a reflex
Of the hard, stern probabilities of life,

your business as you take your
seat in court, as you ascend the
pulpit steps, as you see the good ship
Washington laden with a thousand tons
of grain disappear in the ocean mists,
bound for Constantinople. there may
have mingled with all these important
concerns some memory of your earliest

PEOPLE who still adhere to the look-at-your-
tongue-and-feeI-o f-your-pulse doctor some
times express not a little curiosity in regard to
Di. R.V. Pierce's original method OF distin.
gushing all forms of chronic disease without
personal consultation. Some even suppose that
he accomplishes this through clairvoyance, or
some other species of professional jugglery.
All this is utterly false. He claims to deter
mine disease by the rational methods OF science
only. Says Comley, in his Biographical Ency-
clopedia OF New York State, speaking OF this
distinguished physician: "He perceived that
in each of the natural sciences the investlga-
tor proceeds according to a system Of signs.
The geologist in his cabinet accurately deter
mines and describes the cleft of rock, which
he has never seen, from the minute specimen
on his table. And the chemist in his laborato-
nv notes the constituents of the sun with the
same precision that he anaiyzes a crystal OF
rock salt. The analogous system developed
by DR.. Pierce in Medical Science is worthy OF
his genius, and has made his name justly cele.
brated." For a full explanation OF this in
