A Portland business man has hit
on a scheme for being awakened in
the morning, which, he declares,
beats any alarm clock eyer invented.
He has his telephone in his bed
room, and each night when about to
retire he calls up the central office
and requests the operator to call him
up at a certain hour in order to find
if the "'phone" works properly.
Promptly at that hour the bell rings
and he is awakened with dispatch.

The American Hotel,

You leave the rain and srriVei the

railway conductor you are handed over
to the hotel clerk, and, in small towns, to
the lady waitress. Not a smile on that

You are no longer Mr.. So-and So, you
are No. 219. The colored gentlemen is
close by to carry out the sentence. He
bids you follow him. Yours is not to
ask questions; yours is to follow and
obey. The rules of the penitentiary are
printed in your bed room: You shall be
hungry from to 10 q. m, from to 3
p. m, and from to 8p m. The slight
est infringement of the rules would be
followed by the declaration that you are
a crank. At the entrance of the dining
room, the head waiter, or the lady head
waitress, holds up the hand and bids
you follow him or her. Perhaps you re-
cognize friendly face at one of the Ia
bles Yours is not to indulge in feelings OF
that sort; yours is again to follow, obey
and take the seat that is assigned to you.
During the whole time that altogether |
have spent in America | never once
saw an America man or woman who
dared sit on any other chair than the one
that he or she was ordered to occupy.
Nay, have seen the guests timidly wait
at the door, when nobody was there to
take them in charge, until some one
came to order them about. In small
hotels you cannot hope to have the
courses brought one after the other so
that each one may be served hot to you.
Your plate is placed in front of you, and
the lady waitress disposes systematically
ten to fifteen little oval dishes around It.
When / first made the acquaintance of
this lady, aud she had dealt the dishes,

will Sail on January to Become q

Miss Lizzie Martin, of Chapel Hill,
will sail about the first of January for
China where she goes as a missionary OF
the NJ. E church, South. Referring to
her presence at the Missionary Confer
ence at Jackson, the correspondent of
the Patron and Cleaner says:
I'VE were specially impressed with
Miss Lizzie Martin, of Chapel Hill, N. O.,
whom we had the pleasure of entertain
ing as one of our guests. She is at the
age of 26 and has spared no pains in
preparing herself for the missionary
work. She says it has been her greatest
desire to enter this field of labor, and on
or about the first of next January she
will sail for China.
Without murmur or complaint she
will leave father, mother, brothers, sis
tiers and friends and every being who
knows her and consecrate herself fully to
the missionary work. What a noble Wo
man! She is never gloomy or despon
dent but is always cheerful and ready to
enter into a conversation in defense Of
Christianity. She always speaks encOur.
aging and truthful words and all who
know her can but love and welcome her
wherever she chooses to go.
Sunday night, the last meeting of this
Society at the Methodist church, she re-
lated her experience during which not
sound could be heard or dry eye could
be seen. We hope her mission will be
profitable and that she may not meet the
same fate that so many missionaries did
in China last May and June. 1t is true
none Of these were Americans, still we
can bat feel deeply concerned about such
a beautiful, true and accomplished
young lady who leaves home and kindred
for foreign land to work among heath
ems. In a conversation along this line
she said she does not feel at all concerned
about herself, as she has fully given her
self to the Lord and his work. May her
life be long, happy and useful one.
