She's q True Heroine.


One of the missionary heroines of the
world is Miss Annie Taylor, a Presby-
terrain missionary to Tibet Wealthy
and cultivated, she decided in spite of
the opposition Of her parents to give
herself to missions. She studied medi-
cine and worked as nurse in hospital
to prepare herself for the work. She
also acquired a knowledge Of dentistry.
Largely at her own expense she went to
China, assumed native costume, settled
on the borders of Tibet and began to
learn the language of that fierce people
among whom Christian missionaries
have not yet obtained foothold.
Having thoroughly prepared herself,
she made en- entrance into the country,
and there she has lived for some time.
She has been exposed to the most terri
BILE dangers, but the people Of Tibet
have spared a woman where they would
not have spared man. The chief sew
eral times tried to poison her. She was
made a prisoner. She was exposed, un-
protected, to rain and snow and intense
cold, sometimes sleeping at night in a
hole dug in the ground, and yet through
thousands Of dangers, through famine
and death and what was worse than
death, she was safely carried and has re-
turned to tell us wonderful things of
that dark nation and to make ready a
force that shall take Tibet for Christ. -

One Of the things houselseepers find
difficult at this season is the disposal of
katnhen refuse. The caution is empha-
sind at least to keep it dry. The change
which takes place when water is mixed
with food waste is very different from
that which 1t undergoes when kept dry.
The one is Observation-Disclosures,
capable Of causing illness If its gases
are breathed by susceptible systems.
The other is natures mode of disposing
of all things of earth--a true decom-
position, or nitrification, process of
give and take worked out by living or
ganisms.
If the refuse pail is left in the open
air and all liquid kept out, practically
no harm can be done, but the heat and
steam Of the kitchen accelerate putre-
faction. The penetrating power of
steam, greater than that of dry heat,
goes deeper into the refuse pail than is
realized
A handful Of earth should be house
keepers ever ready sanitary aid, especi-
ally in city houses. Taken from the
surface in any back yard, it will be
teeming with invisible life, ready to
perform specific functions and reduce
all to its own kind, earth or dust.
Whether in esrthworms or bacteria they
serve as agents Of sanitation and avert

Tho Daughters and the Danes.


There is tremendous rivalry between
the two organizations of women known
as the Daughters of the Revolution and
the Colonial Danes 1t is based upon
antiquity Of lineage, as to be a Dame
takes few more ancestors than it does
to be Daughter. Not long ago at a
woman's club reception stranger from
the west asked to be presented to any
Daughters who might happen to be
present Some one, who was ignorant
of the nice distinction between the two
orders, forthwith introduced her to a
woman who, at the word Daughter,
drew herself up haughtily and ex-
claimed: "You have made mistake. l
am Colonial Daniel"
The intention was so evident that the
plucky westerner at once replied: "You
will be good enough to understand that
/ could be q Dame, too, if wished.
My lineage is quite long enough" This
incident serves to show the amiable at
titude Of the Danes.
On the other hand, the Daughters
claim that their order is much more
honorable, inasmuch as Dameship does
not determine ones ancestors to have
been patriots or tories, while the de-
scendant of Revolutionary hero is
stamped with an inalienable loyalty. 1t
is unquestionably true that if merit of
lineage counts for more than mere
length then the Daughters have the
upper hand Moreover. the objects OF
