To Sew on Buttons.

"When l get a bright idea 1 al
ways want to pass it along" SAID a
lady, as she sat watching a girl sew

Lena ?"
Eyer? They're always doing it.
They are ironed off, washed off, and
pulled off. until l despair. Iseem to
shed buttons at every STEP"
make use of these two hints when
you are sewing them on, then, and
see if they make any difference ::
When you begin, before you lay the
button on the cloth. put the thread
through so that the knot will be on
the right side. That leaves it under
the button, and prevents it from be-
ing worn or ironed away and thus be-
ginning the loosening process.
"Then. before you begin sewing,
lay large pin across the button so
that all your threads will 60 over the
pin. After you have finished filling
the holes with thread, draw out the
pin. and wind your thread round and
round beneath the button. That
makes a compact stem, to sustain the
possible pulling and wear of the but
tcnhole."
ut is not an exaggeration to say
that my buttons never come off, and
Pm sure yours won't. if you use my
method of sewing"

Swearing for the Family.

A return Chinese missionary re-
'lates the following anecdote, show
ing the caution of the Chinese. He
says:
During one of our examinations for
candidates for baptism at Ngukang l
observed that one woman and some
three or four young had the same
surname. This circumstances led to
the following conversation between
myself and one of the young men:
II observe you all have the same
surname. Are you members of the
same family ?" l inquired.

"Does he approve OF your embrace

Eyes he is entirely willing"
"Why does not your father HIM
self become Christian ?"
"He says it would not do for all
the family to embrace Christianity"
"And why" l asked with some
curiosity, "does he think SO 2"

"How will they do that?

Knew What Was Going On.

A traveller once put up for the
night with a simple-minded old
couple in a lonely farm house. As he
rode up to the door he heard the old
lady say in tone of deep convictions:
"There / knew somebody'd come
before night, for | dropped my fork
on the floor this morning and it
stuck straight up. Then l dropped
the dish cloth at nOon-another sure
sign of cOmpany."
In entering the house the visitor
struck his foo: against the step and
came near falling. "Ah." said the
old lady, (which toe did you stub :?
the right or left ?"
1.-THE right" was the reply.
THAT'S good it's sure sign you
are going where you are wanted. Pa.

crows there will be rain before MORN

A little boy suddenly ran into the
room crying out: "Oh, grandma,
look ! Here's copper found on the
road"
I'm not a bit surprisel. Don't
you remember, Tommy, hat you
dreamed OF finding a nest If hens
eggs last night ? l told YOU then
that you'd find some money before a
week."
A young woman was waslilAs u

the old lady suddenly cried out:
"There, Susan. if you haven't

So Susan did, as the traveller no.

The organization of the of Society
Christian Endeavor, which now has
a membership of five millions, is said
to have been suggested by Edward
Everett Hale's book entitled "Ten
Times One Are Ten" The idea was
the simple but radical one that if each
one would do what he could to re-
Iieve misery and want that next door
to him, the sum of the endeayor
would vastly relieve the suffering in
the world. Rev. F. E. Clark, who
was then an unknown clergyman in
Portland, Me-, took up the idea eight
years ago, and made it the basis of
the great society that spreads now all
over the country. 1t is practical
Christianity-the simple "doing unto
Others" That is the secret, undoubt-
eddy. of its great growth and its
power for good.

One of the most singular combats
that ever took place IN this part of
the country occurred near Van Vert,

an imported thoroughbred bulldog
and a young African gorilla. The
dog was a fine animal, weighing forty
pounds; the gorilla, savage looking
brute, weighed eighty pounds They
were put into an inclosure twelve feet
square and eight feet high A large
crowd was present and betting was
lively, with odds largely in favor Of
the gorilla.
The fight was to be continued un-

sink his teeth in the gorilla's tough
hide, but he was unsuccessful, as he
could not penetrate the skin In less
than one minute the gorilla had
caught the dog in h long muscular
arms and sunk his long teeth repeat
edly into his neck and spine. In ten
minutes the dog was dead. Il was
with the greatest difficulty that the
infuriated gorilla was gotten barkiu-
to Its cage.

the whaling ship Spy, of the Pacific
Steam Whaling company, is in this
city visiting his mother. He brings
the first news of what may possibly
be the discovery of q hitherto un-
known land many miles north of
Alaska Captain Leavitt's winter
quarters are at Point Barrow, the
most northern point of Alaska, and
with his crew he has remained there
five consecutive winters, beginning
Operations as early as April, four
months ahead of the big whaling
fleet that visits the Arctic waters
during the summer.
For some time, Capt. Leavitt, says
the natives IL Northern Alaska and
on the small islands in that vicinity
have been telling stories of an un-
known land to the far north. Many
of the other inhabitants stoutly main
tain that there Is a larger land north
that no white man has ever discovered
that 1t is not down on the many maps
of the Arctic region. One of their
stories Is TO the effect that several
years ago an adventurous hunter of
a tribe in Northern Alaska took dogs
and sledges and went north across
n frozen sea Nothing was heard of
him for over year, and he was CIV
en- up as lost Then he returned
and told wonderful story of finding
ANEW land far across the ice. There
he built hut and remained till the
waters froze over again, when he
found his way back to Alaska.
Captain Leavitt's story about the
discovery Is that during the cruise
of one of the vessels of the whaling
fleet, which ventured many miles
further north than any other, as told
by the officers, they discovered land
that could not be found on any of
the charts or accounted for in any
way. A gale drove the vessel far
north along the shore of the land,
but the season WAS so late that the
men did not stop to explore, desiring
to get south as soon as the gale sub
sided. These men held that it WAS
an unknown land worth exploration
Mt the proper season No vessels
have since been 50 far north Cap
tain Lsayitt thinks this NAV settle
the question Of an open polar sea.
There are no ice drifts south of Point
Barrow, he SAYS, and the ice must
find an outlet some other place. Dur
ing the summer months the vessels
ind the sea very clear
