The Ezcitements OF Missionary Life in

Rev. P. F. Price sends to the Louisville
Christian Observer the particulars of the

of July s. The Mrs. Graham mentioned,
was formerly Miss Sophie Peck, who is
well known in Staunton. She is sister of
the wife of Rev. J. E. Booker, pastor at
Hebron, and graduated at the Augusta
Female Seminary. The account says
A Chinese official undertook, on June 25, to
search the mission premises to see if the mis-
sionaries had any human bones, or the bodies
of any babies hid away anywhere. This very
thing, which was an outrage, reducing our
missionaries to the level of criminals who
must clear themselves of the basest charges
before having right to protection, drew a
crowd. They broke In the front gate, and
when expelled came into the back with
crash (walls you remember enclose dwelling
places in China). Mr.. Graham (of our mis-
sion), and Mr. Chalfant (Northern Fresbyte-
rv), were at their wits ends to keep off the
crowd, and repel, by lawful means, an attack,
while Dr. Woods sought official interference.

The total vote cast in 1891 was ,34S, the
total vote in 1887 was 1 ,161, an increase this
year of 1877.
The For License vote as compared with
that of 1887 shows q gain of 81. The

The registration for 1891 shows ,S47

the extraordinary efforts of both sides, 499
persons did not cast their ballots. The list
of absentees was rather remarkable. the
scratch list of the LIST Ward white voters
showing that 1877 voters, including promi-
nent men on both sides OF the fight did
not vote.
The great bulk of the colored vote was
cast For License; the Dry colored leaders
not being able to make any impression on
them by argument, and the national flag
badges, one of the cleverest of the many
sharp devices used by the For License men,
being irresistible.

Pay of Swiss Embroiderers

The common old embroideving hanC
machine of 1927, with few improve
ments, is the one that is used today fol
the millions of fine enbroideries that are
sold to all quarters Of. the globe. There
are, perhaps $4,000 of them in use in
eastern Switzerland. the number of the
needles averaging about $50 to the ma.
chine, and the number Of stitches not
exceeding 1000 to the needle daily. As
embroiderers are paid on the stitch basis
only, and sometimes us low as Al cents a
hundred, they have very small earnings
left after paying their threaders and
other expenses. at the present time
fifty cents, sometimes less, is fair aver

The CZar's Romance.

The following episode is said to have
been related by the car himself to in
innate friends: His elder brother, who
died at Nice, was. as is generally known.
first betrothed to Princess Dagmar of
Denmark. On his deathbed he left his
brother, the present czar, letter in
which he begged him to take his place
IN the heart OF the princess The Grand
Duke Alexander, however, was very
bashful lover, and had not the courage to
carry out his dying brothers last wish,
till one day the Grand Duke Vladimir
said to him. "1f you will not fulfill the
wish of our dead Nicholas | shall pro.
pose for the hand of the princess my.
self
A short time after the Grand Duke
Alexander set off to Copenhagen. and
one day. being alone with the Princess
Daglnar he handed her, tremblingly
the letter of his brother When the
princess had read it she blushed and
said, 81 also received Il letter from Mich
olas in which he begged me to become
your wife" Alexander asked to be al
lowed to read the letter The princess
fetched it and together they read it. The
sequel was a marriage. Cor Londor

Seemed Like Amos,

Silas Rodes was strong, hard work
ing farmer; his brother Amos was a con-
frmed invalid who. three or four times
year, had spells of expecting to die,
but, nevertheless, always managed to
live. Still, he was really i'll, and many
thought him to be in considerable danger.
But, while Amos was sick and expect,
ing to die, it CHANGED that the strong
Silas did actually die very suddenly. A
messenger carried the sad news to his
sister Elvira, a grim spinster, who lived
in distant part of the town.
She heard the message with some in
credulity.
"Taint Silas We mean; it's Amos" she
said in reply.
"Why, no" answered the messenger.
Il mean Silas. Amos is all right. It's
Silas that is dead.

His Fortune.

Wealth and poverty are relative
terms, us almost every one must have
learned by his own experience. Many a
man who now thinks twenty dollars a
week pretty small wages can remember
the time when he felt rich with half that
sum.
A citizen of Westerly, r. l., says the
historian Of the town, enlisted as pri-
vateer during one of the early wars of
the country. 1t was perilous business,
but patriotic feelings and visions of gold
carried the day with him.
His cruise was long and eventful, but
at last he returned home and received an
appropriate welcome. AS soon as the
first greetings were over, his mother in
quired:
''Well, Harry, how have you made
out: Did you get much money!"
ooh, yes, mother; good luck. am
fch. shall have enough, with pru-
dence in the care Of it, to carry me

much as thirty dollars.

Water Is Cheap.

In the old days when water was car
ried around on carts the price per barrel
was nine cents. That price did not seem
exorbitant; was thought cheap. Now
the cost to the consumer is about one
third of a cent per barrel-thirty barrels
for ten cents, And at that rate the city
makes large profits. Out of these profits
is paid the cost of pipe extensions and
renewals and of various other matters,
and still there remains untouched reve-
nue. amounting to nearly $500, 900. The
rate of profit will rapidly increase in the
future, inasmuch as a great deal of
piping has been done in advance of pop
ulation. Vacant spaces will henceforth
be filled in with improvements and peo-
pie rather than new spaces acquired.
Extensions of the water service in many
directions and to extreme distances are
therefore nearly complete and perma-
nent.-Chicago Herald.

How Cloth Is Tested.

When the cloth arrives. it Is slowly
passed over a double roller which meas.
ures the yards. and carefully examined
for the purpose of discovering any de.
fects in the manufacture If there are
any-broken threads or loosely woven
spots-they are indicated by sewing q
string in the margin, and the cutter is
thus able to avoid the defective portion.
Then we cut off small piece of the
goods and put it outside on window
sill. where, for ten days, it is exposed to
the sun and the rain If it fades, it is
rejected Then we test by chemicals to
see if the dye stuff is indigo. which is
the surest dye that can be made If the
COior produced by the use of this test is
bright orange, it indicates that the dive
has an indigo basis
