CHINA WILL AID SIAM.

Power of the North Exercised in Behalf
of Weak NeighbOr.
Information has been received from
Pekin to the effect that China has taken
measures to support Siam as against the
French. Siam has for many years paid trib-
ute TO China, but only as Il matter OF
usage and convenience. and il is now APP
parent that China is determined to assist
the Siamese against French encroachments
upon their territory. The interference of
China will add most interesting feature
to the Franco Siamese dispute, and will
probably result in modification Of some
of the demands of France as contained in
her ultimatum

Interpretin the scriptures.

There is queer old preacher down in my
country" said native born Marylander to a
party of friends in the Manhattan Club one
evening last week. The man had just re-
turned from visit to his old home after a
long absence. and was amusing the company
with anecdotes.
He is about 20 years DID," continued the
speaker and he has had little Or no eduea-
ton and is utterly incapable of preaching a
sermon. He believes every word. letter, and
punctuation mark In the Bible is inspired and
his method of teaching his flock is to read from
the Scripture and expound and explain his
reading to the best of his ability.
sos course the good old man quite frequently
runs up against some passage most difficult to
interpret. His method of extricating himself,
as / have reason to know. is unique. / was
listening to his exposition of Solomon and all
his glory, the other Sunday, and wondered how
he was going 10 do justice to the great King in
the matter of his thousand and odd wives. All
of sudden he came upon the passage, which
he read through slowly. Then he paused,
mopped his brow and said:
as Brethren, we have come across difficult
passage. Let us. however. not shirk our duty.
We must look the difficulty firmly in the face
and-pass on to the next verse
And he promptly proceeded TO do so, to the
evident satisfaction of his flock"

Women Renew Their Youth.
IS. Louis Post Dispatch.

1t is an extraordinary but incontostable fact
that some women at the age when most people
die undergo a sort of natural process of reju-
venation-the hair and teeth grow again. the
wrinkles disappear from the skin, and sight
and hearing reaequire their former sharpness.
A Marquise de Marabeau is an example of this
rare and remarkable phenomenon. She died
at the age of Sc. but few years before her
death she became in appearance quite young
again. The same change happened to a nun OF
the name of Marguerite Yerdur, who at the
age of 81 lost her wrinkles, regsined her sight
and grew several new teeth. When she died,
10 years later, her appearance was almost that
of yonng girl.
