SIAM is a RICH PROGRESSIVE
COUNTRY.

Siam has been until lately terra
lncognlta, country whose only prod
uct SO far as was known to Americans
and Englishmen, was the famous
Siamese twins. The first treaty of
commerce was made by the Siamese
Government with England in 1857,
since which a little has been added to
our knowledge of the country and its
people. The area of Siam is twice
that of Great Britain and Ireland.
The population is said to be about
100000.
The Slamese sovereignS have usu-
ally been men of considerable ability
and in energy and enlightenment are
superior to most Asiatic potentates.
The late King of Siam and his success
ors have done what they could to in
troduce the forms of Western civil
zation. Bangkok, the capital, has the
electric light, tram cars and govern
ment offices of European architecture,
and the present King has also shown
himself reformer of abuses, especi-
ally OF the worst of Siamese social
evils, the universally of serfdom and
the prevalence of slavery.
Further and much needed reforms
are expected from him, but even
were the political and fiscal admins

better than it is the Siamese, a light
hearted nation of Buddhists, fond of
amusement and accustomed to fire.

velop the great resources of their
country. It's internal trade is chiefly
in the hands of Cinnamon, who, with
the Malays, add some millions more
to the estimated population already
stated. Railways are being construct
ed and Europeans have been en-
couraged by the policy of Siamese
royalty to settle at Bangkok and to
develop the external trade of Siam.

A SCHOOL Boys ESSAY ON TREES
The following essay, says a foreign
exchange, on trees was recently writ
ten by scholar in Standard VI of
Broad School in Chelsea: ssTrees are
very useful. There are all sorts of
trees the cokernOt tree and orange
apple and plum tree. Cokernuts are
very nice people. In the pacific and
foreign nations live on cokernuts and
many other fruits. Apple trees and
orange trees are very nice. There
are trees that do not bloom oak trees
and acorn trees and pine apple trees
never bloom. Some trees are very
tall they stand from the height of 10
to IA yards high and some are taller
than that. Trees are very useful for
the wild rabbits and hares and deers.
There are no wild beasts in England,
only in foreign nations

The following notice is on an Irish
church door: "This is to give notice
that no person is to be buried in this
churchyard but those living in the
parish. Those who wish to be buried
are desired to apply to me, Ephraim
Grub, Parish Clerk" Here is another
kindred specimen: "Notice. = The
church wardens will hold their quar-
terly meetings once in six weeks, in
stead of half-yearly, as formerly" In
the April of 1906 the following bill was
stuck up: "This house is to be let for
ever or longer, if required" Such a
house would quite match the gown
mentioned by Miss Edgeworth, (which
would wear forever, and might be con
verified into petticoat afterward."

ed in one of Lady Morgan's earlier
novels, as being composed of an ap

Yonder stands a stately mansion,
Bower grit, and wreath refined.
Is it q homer
There walls rich hung with paintings,
Treasures from old masters hands;
There are football muffied carpets,
Gathered far from other lands,
Spacious Railways, ample chambers,
Flowers breathing fragrance rare,
Music, sculpture, costly raiment,
These are there.
But love has flown,
It's not home.
But I see another dwelling,
Love encircled, love defined.
Is it home?
There the fathers benediction
Blesses all who bear his name;
There the moth r's love unstinted
aalIows with its sacred flame
Man and wife forever lovers,
Bearing each the others share;
Love OF daughter, sister brother,
These are there,
What else be gone,
Aye that's home.

I was very hungry and was sure
dinner was being prepared, as the
girls dropped out of the room one by

and thought the lady of the house was
becoming SO.
Finally she excused herself and
went out of the room for a moment
A small boy, who had been running in

entered, and l said:
"Come here, my little man." and as
he came towards me I asked:

"Just as soon as you CO." was the

Mission Budget.

Rev. ID. S. Spencer writes from Japan
"That the missionary teachers have met with
some success in Japan is shownin the fact,
that nearly two thousand of their students
have gone out to stand for Christianity. There
are no more intelligent, stable and earnest
Christians in Japan than those who have gone
out from the mission schools"
DR. g. John SAYS: "When | arrived in
China, thirty-tive Years ago there We're not

empire cunnte ted with the Protestant mis-
sion. The number Of communicates report
ed in 1888 Was only :'5i. In 1871 there We're
II 0:s5, and in 1885,. there We're 81 30. Ittooll
forty-eight years to gather the first five hund-
red converts, While in thirty-tive years the
five hundred have increased to nearly forty
Thousand"
DR.. Mackay writes from Fornosst, an is
land near the coast of China, that there has
been an extraordinary turning from idols ON
the part of the people "t Kalevan. Nearly
five hundred dolaters cleaned their houses
of idols in his presence, and they also gave
the missionary a temple built for idols as a
place of worship.

was called "Jimmy Button because his
mother sold him to the Europeans for a
brass button cut from an officer coat.
He was fairly Intelligent and gave promise
of future usefulness, so it was decided to
send him back to his native land as sort
of assistant missionary. Before starting
for his former home, Jimmy received a
great many substantial gifts from charit-
able English people, which rendere d his

built comfortable house for the mission
airy and Jimmy; a garden Of seeds were
sown; the natives who f1ocked around the
ship were well treated, and all went swim
mingly as long as the superior force re-
NAMED on the side of the whites. But
hardly was the ship out of sight before
the natives robbed Jimmy of all his treas
ures and forcibly reduced him to his orig
inal condition of a savage like them
selves. They burned up his fine clothes
and compelled him to dress OF rather to
undress, like his own people; and the mis-
sionary would doubtless have been murder

few days absence, to see how things We're
getting along, and took him away.
The next visitors to Terra del Fuego
found that his taste of civilization had
only made Jimmy Button cutter rascal

the islands, who stole everything they
could lay hands on, the same who few

Society. Affairs are now in a much more

70 Decorate a Church.

w hen flowers OF other bright decora-
lions are hard to obtain, Il most pleasing
substitute is afforded by the cones of pine
or Norway spruce, writes Eben E. Rexford,
in the December Ladies' Home Journal.
These, in their natural color, are very
pretty, but their effect can be greatly
heightened by bronzing or gliding them.
The liquid gold paints sold by all dealers
in artists goods, are cheap, and produce
good results. Apply two coats, so that
the cone will be we'll covered A cluster
of them, shining. against a background
OF dark green, will stand out brilliantly
by lamp-light. For good deal of the
decorated work about arches over the al
tar, and in the making of crosses and SINH
lar designs, they are much preferable to
flowers OF fruit, as they are more in har-
mony with the evergreens among which
they are used. Provided your gliding is
good, most pleasing results can be secur-
ed by giving cones such covering. Try
it, and you will be sure to be pleased with
this new method. 1t is always well to re-
member that artistic effects do not de-
pend upon elaborate designs The sim
plest decorations, especially in a church al
tar, are ofttimes the most effective, and
where taste is used rather than quantity,
success is, as rule, far more certain.
