Martha's cheeks had been growing
roster and roster. while a strange, wild
Joy surged through her veins, as she an
swered, her tones trembling slightly.
"Since can remember Consin Joe ana
I have been playmates, and since father
died he has been so good and kind to
mother, helping her about the farm and
in every way, that he has become like
son to her, and as dear as a brother to
me. Dear Joe don't know what we
should have done without him." She
paused, the tears gathering in her pretty
eyes. Paul drew nearer, then hesitated,
as Martha continued:
"Joe is engaged to my dearest frie nd,
and they are to be married in just sly

his excessive Joy.
''You are not a bit odd" was the in

THE SCARECROW,

In yonder field he stands erect,
No matter what the weather,
And keeps a watch so circumspect
On foes of every feather,
So faithful is he to the trust
Committed to his keeping
That all the birds suspect he must
Dispense with any sleeping.
Sometimes his hat tips down so low
1t seems a cause for censure,
For then some old, courageous crow
Believes it safe to venture;
But catching sight of either arm
Outstretched in solemn warning,
The crow decides to leave this farm
Until another morning.
Although his dress is incomplete,
1t really does not matter;
Perchance the truest heart may beat
Beneath patch or latter.
And it is wrong to base our love
On wealth and name and station,
For he who may will rise above
His daily occupation.
We should not look with eyes of scorn,
And find in him no beauty
Who stands and guards our fields of corn,
And does the whole world duty,
But honor him for native worth,
For rustic independence,
And send a hearty greeting forth
For him and his descendants.
Martha C. Cook, in Young People.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED nv Tmg UNITED
PRESBYTERIAN BOARD 0R MISSIONS.

The general committee Of the United
Presby terian assembly, which has been
labaring for the past week at GArnett,
Kas., yesterday closed its labors, and
Immediately came to Topeka to attend
the general assembly.
The general committee held most
enthusiastic prohibition conferences on
Monday evening, Rev. ID. S. Littell,
presiding. Rev. Littell introduced the
subject by saying we come here iu the
interests of the homo mission works.
But there is another hone mit sion work
that is being carried on vigorously. We
are sesking to put the gospel in every
hone this other succeeds in putting
whisky in every home. Comparison
and statistics may show how che works
are progressing. TO Christ's home mis-
sion work there is expended about S2,-
900, 900 annually in this country. In
the devils home mission work there is
expended $3.50, 900. 900 annually, or 81
for church to $400 for the devil.
J. D. Lyth, of New York, followed
these remarks with speech that
wrought the enthusiasm mp to fever
heat, and when wa had heard from Ohio,
Iowa, Tennessee, Canada, Pcnnsy ylvania,
Indians, California and Illinois, and also
from the stranger that was "wilhin
our gates" we came to the conclusion
the committee to be made up Of the
most radical pronihitionista. This may
be accounted for on the principle of
Anteus getting new strength as he
touched his mother earth. The soil of
Kansas on which we stand may account
in no small degree for the radicalism
expressed by delegates from all parts.
This was strictly a meeting Of reso-
lutions, no less than four sets Of them
being offered and received with cheers.
Rev. j. M Jaminson,of Ohio, o,otfared
the following

Health OF Jews,

One noticeable feature about Jewish
cemeteries in the south is the scarcity of
newly made graves after an epidemic of
cholera or yellow faver. Statistics show
that fewer of them die than any other race
from these or kindred diseases. During
the cholera scourge in Tonlon only two
orthodox Jews died of 1t, while in num-
bers they equalled fully 20 per cent of the
population. Their immunity from dis
ease, and the certainty with which they
recover when attacted by IL. is accounted
for by the simplicity of their diet. They
are very strict about following the dietary
laws prescribed by Moses. Isn't 1t a lit.
tie strange that Moses, II he was only q
historian, should have possessed knowl-
edge superior to that of the wisest and
best physiciars of the present dayg He
evidently believed in preventing disease
rather than curing it, This is what De
