Economy His Motto

A gentleman who was boarder for
a number OF years at the hotel in a
small Montana mining town, was I'M
der many favors to the housewife, who
died last summer. He lauded the
good woman's virtues, and at his own
expense sent and had a monument,
costing several hundred dollars, made
and it was hauled TO the mountains
and unloaded in front of the hotel.
The gentleman informed the bereaved
husband OF what he had done, and
told him to take his team and haul
the monument to the graveyard, about
one hundred yards distant. This the
husband did, set the monument up,
and on the next day the gentleman re-
ceived the following bill; To hauling
the stone to the cemetery, So; to set
ting it up, So; TO time So; total, Sl5.
OF course the kind husband
was awarded, and Of course his repu-
tation in that section is steadily on
the increase.

Chinese Women's Hair.

According to the customs OF Chinese
society the wife of the Chinese minis
ter TO this country will comb her hair
up from the forehead TO show that she
is married. Her tresses reach to her
feet, and so difficult is the task OF
dressing them that one arrangement
lasts several days. For the preserva-
ton OF the couture she lies when
asleep on willow pillow as finely
woven as an imported bonnet, shaped
like a loaf of bakers bread. The
maids dress their black hair in a
queue and arrange bang one and n
half inches deep. from ear 10 ear. A
bit OF coquetry'i is displayed by allow

to man, endless and holding as a
whole the spokes revolving around the
common center, Christ our hope, it is
moving on toward the victory that
overcometh the world.
One of these spokes is the flower

Miss Casseday has been an invalid for
years, unable To leave her bed. Tc

If any one was exempt from though,
for others she would be. Her amiable
character won her many friends. and
one manner OF expressing their love
for her was the gift of flowers, oil
which she was passionately fond. The
thought came to her one day that the
flowers, which spoke so silently but
powerfully to her heart, might be
made a message of love to others, and
open some hearts to Gods love.

From her bed of pain arose the
flower mission in the w. G.. L. T.,
which is carried on all over the Unit
cd States.
With a prayer in her heart to be di-
rected in the selection, she has chosen
passages OF scripture and put them
upon cards which have some suitable
illustration upon them, and on the
back had painted "A Message for
YOU" These cards, with bit oil
white ribbon attached, are sent with a
small bunch Of flowers, consisting OF
something white, something bright,
and something sweet. to the inmates
of prison and all places where sad sor-
rowing, sick and lonely ones are
found. The result OF this work has
been wonderful.
