The merchant took a slip of paper
from his pocket and wrote:
IF the man who was seen to take
the umbrella from the vestibuIe of the
: church last Sunday does not wish
to get into trouble and have a stain
cast upon the Christian character
which he values SO highly, he will re-
turn it at once to No. = High street"
This duly appeared in the paper,
and the following morning the man
was astonished when he opened the
front door of his residence. On the
porch lay at least dozen umbrellas
of all shades and sizes that had been
thrown in, while the front yard was
literally paved with umbrellas. Many
OF them had notes attached to
them saying that they had been tax
en- by mistake, and begging the loser
to keep the little affair quiet.

HOW TO WORD An ADVERTISE
MENT,

A man was denouncing newspaper
advertising to crowd of listeners.
Last week. said he, Il had an
umbrella stolen from the vestibule OF
the church. 1t was a gift, and valu-
ing it very highly l spent double its
worth in advertising, but / have not
recovered it."
''How did you word the advertise
ment p asked merchant.
Here it is" said the man, produc-
ing slip cut from a newspaper.
The merchant took it and read:
Lost, from the vestibule of the =
church, last Sunday evening, a black
umbrella. The gentleman who took
it will be handsomely rewarded by
leaving it at No. = High street

HOUSEHOLD sUPERsT1r1oNs.

The gift of. a knife cuts friendship
in handing a needle the eye and not
the point must be extended. The
dropping of dishcloth betokens a
visitor, and he or she will be an entire
stranger should II cock crow in the
doorway. 1t is unlucky to cut the
nails on Friday, although the Arabi-
ans, on the contrary, religiously OBJ
serve that day for the purpose. If you
sing before breakfast you will
cry before supper. and if you'srumble
up stairs you will not be married dur

first is regarded as an omen of i'll. Au-
gustus Cesar put his left sandal on

his life the same day in a mutiny.
That had nothing to do with it, of
course, and Butler, in his ''Hudibras, ("

HIS RETORT

Thackeray disliked vanity in others
and made it the subject of his ridicule
and sarcasm After long pleading his
family induced him to have his por-
trait painted, and Lawrence, a famous
London artist, gladly undertook the
task. Soon after the picture was COM
pleted Thackeray CHANGED to be din
ing at his club, when "a pompous Off
Ger of the Guard stopped beside the
table and said, "Haw, Thackeray, old
boy, hear Lawrence has been paint
ing yer portrait" $50 he has" was
the reply. Full length - mo, full
length portraits for soldiers, that we
may see their spurs. But the other
end of the man is the principal thing
with authors" said Thackeray.

THE OLD-FASHIONED HOUSE.

OF all the tender and comfortable things
mat now and then sweet memory brings,
Ihere is nothing dearer that love recalls
Than the old-fashioned house with its white
washed walls.
Not mansion to-day, though marvel of art
Can ever usurp its place in my heart,
FOR there my earliest prayers were said,
And slept at night in my trundle bed
Meath cOvelids reaching from feet to chin,
by mothers hands tucked gently in,
And her good night kiss on my tired brow;
Oh earth holds no such blessing now.
A garden was fragrant with flower beds
Where marigolds lifted their velvet heads,
And warmed by sunshine, refreshed by dew,
The bachelor button and touch-me-not grew.
In river that curved like a shepherds crook
We f1shed for minnows with bent-pin hook,
Or with little bare feet oft waded through,
And Dravely padded our own canoe"
Twas home of welcome no one could doubt
Whose latch string hung invitingly out,
And many stranger supped at its board,
While blazing logs in the chimney roared.
o, this is an age of reform and change,
And things aesthetic, modern and strange,
Improvements that SAVIOR of silver and gold
Are superseding the cherished and old.
But turn from palaces built for show,
With mansard roof and stories below,
Of frescoed, kalSomined, dadoed halls,
70 the old-fashioned house with its white
washed walls.

1v1rEs PROPERTY RESPECTED.

Mrs. Elaine Goodale Eastman, who
has a personal knowledge of Indian
life, says that among our American
Indians the property rights of wives
are fully respected. She says II
never knew an Indian to sell his wife's
ponies, or anything belonging to her
without her consent. 1t is very conf
mon reply TO an offer of any kind,
concerning change of residence, the
acceptance of q position, or sending
the children to school, II must first
ask my wife" If an Indian woman
makes and sells pair OF moccasins,
the money is hers and she uses it as
she sees fit" In some things the In
dams might teach lesson to the more
! civilized races.

THE SINKING RIOTS.
Troubles Due to the Indiscretion OF
Women Missionaries.

HoNGKoNG, June ga Foo Chow dis
patch to the North China Daily Netus, COM
menting on the IcEang and Kinkiang,
province of Sinking, riots, claims that
the women missionaries drew much of the
trouble upon themselves. They dressed in
native dress against better advice and
went to city to which they had been par
ticularly warned not to go. They re-
manned in the mission houses long after
they should have taken the opportunity
to escape. though the magistrate had sent
sedan chairs and repeated messages for
them to come away, and when they left
the magistrates court to go to the boat
they refused the escort of soldiers which
the magistrate thought necessary for their
escape. The correspondent says the mis-
sionaries might help the Chinese govern
ment much if they were more judicious in
carrying on their work. Regarding the
attack on DR.. Rigg and the Kinkiang mis-
sion, on May II, the correspondent
says that it had been spe-
cialy arranged between the British
consul and the Chinese viceroy that
small mission hospital ana dispensary
there was TO be carried on by the natives
alone, all the foreigners to keep away for
specified time and that there was no
trouble until DR.. Rigg appeared at Kim
kiang.
The United States warship Monocracy
proceeded up the river to Hankow on May
90. II. NJ. S. Swiftsure and the Russian
gunboat Mandijour were then at Hankow;
H. NJ. s. Redpole was at Wuhu; H. NJ. s.
Pigmy and U. S. steamer Petrol were at
Chinkiang. and III. NJ. S. Archer was
bound up the river. H. NJ. S. Esk, after
six-months' stay at Ichang, proceeded to
Shanghai TO dock for repairs.
A large body of Chinese soldiers arrived
at 500 Chow on May % to stand guard
over the missions there. The French con-
sui. in consequence of reported threats to
destroy the new Catholic mission at Tan
yang, made demand on the viceroy for
protection, and troops were Immediately
sent to that vicinity.
