THE preacher robs his church who
undertakes to do everything himself.
THE devil feels about sure of the
man who isn't quite ready to be saved.
COP has never had any use for a
man who was not willing to do little
things.
BEFORE any man can draw on God
for help he must be willing to help
others.
No ONE ever did a great thing for
God who did not begin by doing little
ones.
No THEOLOGY is right that gives
God character that children cannot
love.
The love Of God can not mean very
much to the soul that has not suf-
fered.
ABOUT the poorest occupation you
can find is to sit down and admire
yourself.
IT is a good thing to know right
principles, but it is better one to
love them.
EVERY day tnat a sinner remains
sinner the devil gets tighter hold
upon him.
THE most glorious thing about
every new day is that we may live in

While in most parts OF the world,
except Africa, slaye-catching Is be-
coming thing of the past, the prac-
tice Is still carried on to some extent
In Tonkin In spite of the efforts OF
the French TO put an end to IL. The
slaves who are wanted there are only
women and children. Slave dealers
find women and children In the for
ests, away from the villages, drag them
into the mountains, and sell them to
Chinese merchants, who carry them
into some OF the western provinces OF
China and sell them TO rich families.
This odious traffic began about twen-
ty-fiye years ago. Formerly. Tonkin-
csc women were almost unknown I'm
China. The practice OF exporting
them as slaves came about in this
way:
In 1866 the Chinese soldiers who
invaded Tonkin, which was In revolt
against China, found themselves in
numbered by prisoners taken from the
Tonkinese. They did not know what
to do with the prisoners, but at last
decided to ship them to China and
see If they could not sell them. 1t
was at this time that emigration
agencies were recruiting in China
thousands of workmen to toll on the
Guano Islands OF Chile. The hun
dreds of male prisoners were easily
disposed of to these emigration agen-
cies, and the women and children
who were among the unfortunates
were sold to well-to-do Chinese.
This opened new trade, although
at first it was not easy to sell the
women, because wealthy families did
not wish to have servants with black
teeth, the result of the practice Of
betel nut chewing. So small price,
however, was asked for them that all
the women were finally sold. To-day
these women are in much demand in
some parts of Western China. AS SER
wants they.are gentle, obedient, and
laborious, and are so highly esteemed
that they command good price

Absurd Titles.

Often enough we hear through the
news journals of the Sublime Porte"
How many ask the meaning OF the
term? Inancient times, and especial
ly in Oriental countries, it was the
custom to make the gates OF the cities
and kings palaces places of assembly,
where the affairs OF government were
to be discussed. In time the term
was applied to the government that
exercised authority, the ruler Of
Turkey, for instance, being called the
"Ottoman Porte" which has been
gradually changed among European
nations to Sublime Porte" LOFTY
Gate), the rendering Of the expression
by the French in their language,
which is the official tongue of Euro
pcan diplomacy.
The Sublime Porte" is not the
official title OF the Sultan. Inordi-
nate vanity has caused him to adopt
it TO himself, in the same spirit that
prompts the monarchs of Germany,
Russia, Austria, and England to call
them emperors and expresses;
titles which they have no more right
to bear than Xerxes, the ambitious
Persian Of antiquity, to term himself
"King of kings" and finally, when his
conceit had reached the limit, "the
supporter OF the world"
1t is an amusing experience to run
down the worlds rulers and note the
ridiculous titles applied to men and
women, who ought to realize that
their piled up "nick-names" really
lower them in the estimation of in
telligent people. Victorfh OF Eng
land is the defender Of the faith,
the Mikado (Royal Gate) OF Japan is
known at home as "Ten-O" (Heaven's
HighestD, the ruler of Siam is "the
Lord of the White Elephant" and
the king OF China is Brother Of the
Sun and Moon," etc, etc. There is
almost an endless list OF titles and OF
individuals who have adopted them;
any good encyclopedia will give them
all, but space will not permit re-
capitulation here.

Dore's LIghtnIng-LIke sketching.

TO watch Gustave Dore designing
his sketches, says biographer, was
enough to make one dizzy. His fingers
fairly flew over the surface of the
block, and every time he took fresh
one it seemed to be finished before
one had time to realize what he had
been about. This extraordinary
quickness OF execution was out
stripped by that Of his imagination,
always miles ahead Of any possible
mechanical work. 1t seems all but
incredible that any artist should have
been able TO accomplish so much in so
short space OF time. A convincing
proof of his extraordinary duplex
faculty OF lightning-like conception
was, that he never in those days
made sketch twice over. Some he
rarely glanced at, but threw the
blocks aside as they were finished,
sure that his faithful pencil had ex-
actly reproduced his fancies and con-
ceptions.

The origin of the horseshoe super

explained Among the theories
offered. that contained in the follow
ing Is among Jne p0ssIDn1UIes: The
horseshoe of old was held to be of
special service as security against
the attacks of evil spirits. The virtue
may have been assigned, perhaps, by
the rule of contraries, from it being a
thing Incompatible with the cloven
foot OF the evil one; or from the rude
resemblance which the horseshoe
bears to the rays of glory, which, in
ancient pictures, were made to sur
round the heads of saints and angels;
or, finally, from some notion of its
purity, acquired through passing
through the fire. The latter suppO-
sitiOn receives some countenance from
the method Eesorted to for the cure Of
horses that had become vicious, or

The Gentle Sick Nurse.

1t is a marvel how the sick and
those who cared for them ever en-
dured their burdens in the days when
trained nurses were, IL not unknown,
so rare as to be practically unobtain-
able. To see for the first time one of
these women come into sick room
whose head has been the anxious rel
ative Of the sufferer and watch how
the aspect Of things change under her
capable sway Is revelation. She
seems to know just what will give
the patient most relief, and what she
does is done quickly and quietly. Is
he hot and restless-she slips a crumb
Of ice into his mouth, gently sponges
face and hands, smOothes the rum
pied bed linen, and finally with no
effort on his part has got him over TO
the fresh pillow and cool side OF the
bed. She evolves order out Of the
chaos Of the medicine table; boxes
and bottles, cups and bowls are rele-
gated each to its niche, which is
henceforth its home when not in use;
trays and stands are covered with
spotless napkins, the light is toned
down, the thermometer is set up as
an infallible arbiter OF the temper
ature-everything is strengthened
and bettered before your eyes, with
out, somehow, the details OF the pro-
cess being visible. Her skill com.
mands your respect, and with wave
of relief you resign your sick to her
trained, alert intelligence, against
which your own previous care sudden

I.anruares or tho World.

Linguists are not agreed as to the
number Of spoken languages, since
what one regards as language,
another will consider dialect, and
so concord of opinion is practically
impossible. Prof. g. A. Van Rhyn,
a standard writer, says there are about
900 languages and 5000 dialects,
while other authorities affirm that
there are not more than a dozen diff
ferent languages and not to exceed
/ 200 dialects. The British and For
eign Bible Society has printed the
Scriptures in nearly 300 languages
and dialects, which may be said to
represent the entire number of living
languages having literature.

The Cabbage.

The common cabbage furnishes a
fine illustration of the improvement
which may be produced in wild plants
by careful cultivation. The common
cabbage, or Brassica Oleracea, Is a
seashore plant, but slightly different
from many of the seaweeds found in
great abundance on rocky shores
where warm currents prevail. Wild
species of the cabbage plant are still
found on the island of Laland, on the
shores of Denmark, of Heligoland, on
the southern and western coasts OF
Ireland, among the rocks Of the Chan
mel Islands, along the coast Of France,
Spain and Portugal, on the north
shore Of the Mediterranean, particu-
larly along the Riviera, on the coast
of Italy, and as far east as the islands
of the Grecian Archipelago. The
wild plant is small and hardy, is re-
produced from seeds and has the
genuine cabbage flavor. The size Of
the cultivated plant is due solely to
the careful attention paid it and the
richness of the soil in which il is
grown. Few plants have been culti-
waited from more ancient times than
the cabbage, and the number Of spe-
cies has increased materially within
the limits of written history. Theo-
hprastus mentions three kinds, Pliny
seven, FOurnefort twenty, De Can
dole thirty. The WHO species mas
leaves much resembling the seed
leaves of the cultivated cabbage, and
has no appearance of head, which,
by some botanists, is considered a
monstrosity. The wild cabbage is not
found in America, and is believed to
be peculiar to the localities named.
A curious difference between the En-
glish and American usage with re-
gard to cooking cabbage may be men
toned. The English prefer it green,
while the Americans take pains to
bleach the heads. Exactly the con-
trary practice prevails with regard TO
lettuce, which the Americans prefer
green and the English like best when
most perfectly bleaehed.
