In Chinese Villages,

Mr.. Weldon and I often went into
the villages, walking between the
fields of shivering rice, but far oftener
the villagers came to see MS in our
house-boat men, women. babies,
dogs, and all. Always some little side
canal, the offshoot of main water
way, was the only street between or
before the village houses. There was
always the towpath, but the best
route was by second path leading
behind the houses By following that
we passed through the farms and
yards. We saw the men and women
thrashing the rice by beating log
with handfuls of it to scatter the ker-
nels on the ground. We saw the
farmers turning tho soil over and
breaking 1t up laboriously, or punch
ing holes in the thick clay, dropping
seeds in them. and then smearing tho
holes over with rake. We went into
the inner courts of the better houses,
and noted how the men, and even tho
tiniest baby boys, thrust themselves
forward to greet us, while the women
and girls skunk behind or merely
peeped through the doorways and
open windows the latter being Eliza
bethan contrivances, framed for little
panes of oiled paper or the enamelled
inner coating Of seashells. White
goats. wolfish dogs, common-sense
chickens, hump-backed cows and
nose-led buffaloes make up the animal
life that is SO painfully missing in
Japan and SO abundant in China. -

The Julgc AMI til, Deacon.

There lived once in tue littlo city of
WillIamsport, Penn, an old Judge of
the name of Williams. This old Judge
was noted for two things, for getting
mellow occasionally and for being
plucky and courageous under all cir
cumstances-a gamey old man. 1t was
q peculiarity of the old Judge that
whenever he got mellow he grew COR
respondingly religious. One night he
wandered into a protracted revival
meeting and seated himself upon the
front seat, full of spiritual influence
of some kind. The Clergyman, en-
gagged in his preaching, rose to fer
vid pitch of eloquence. and in the
midst of it exclaimed: "Show me the
drunkard! Show me the drunkard
OF all men on earth the most unfor-
tunate; show him to me-" To the
CONSERVATION of all present the old
Judge arose, and unsteadily maintain
ing himself, exclaimed: "Well, sir,
here l am" The clergyman, having
realized upon his investment much
sooner than ho anticipated, didn't
know what to do with it. They finally
pulled the old Judge down, and the
incident had passed out OF memory
almost, when the clergyman again
struck an impassioned period and ex-
claimed in the honesty and fervor f,f
bis heart: '',Show me the hypocrite
Show me the hypocrite! OF all MEN
on Gods green earth the most despic-
able. Show me the hyLocrite - The
old Judge rose the second time, aud
reaching his cane over to u certain
shaky old deacon, exclaimed: "Dea-
con, why the devil lon't you get up
when you are called on"

The Idea Of an IDIOT.

1t will be impossible to keep up the
present rate of wages unless the ex-
port trade of the United States in
manufactured goods is fostered and
enlarged. New York Herald.
By increasing ''the export trade OF
the United States IN manufactured
goods to European countries, to In
dia, China and japan, where similar
manufactured goods can be made at
much less cost than in this country,
we must first reduce American wages

tries, to say nothingeof pay ying freight

Eugene Field, in Chicago Record.1
A bird sat in the maple tree
And this was the song he sang to me:
30 little boy, awake, awake, arise!
The sun Is high In the morning skies;
The brooks a-play in the pasture lot
And wondereth that the little boy
1t loveth dearly cometh not
To share its turbulance and joy;
The grass hath kisses cool and sweet
For truant little brown bare feet
SO come, o child, awake, arise!
The sun is high In the morning skics!'
So from the yonder maple tree
The bird kept singing unto me;
But that was very long ago
l did not think L did not know
Else would not have longer slept
And dreamt the precious hours away;
Else would from my bed have leapt
To greet another happy day
day, untouched of care and truth,
With sweet companionship Of youth
The dear old friends which you and I
knew in the happy years gone by!
Still in the maple can be heard
The music of the morning bird,
And still the song is Of the day
That runneth DER with childish play;
Still of each pleasant old-time place
And of the old-time friends 1 knew
The pool where hid tho furtive dace,
The lot the brook went scampering through
Tho mill, the lane, the bellhower treo
That used to love to shelter me-
And all those others knew then,
But which cannot know again!
Alas! from yonder maple tree,
The morning bird sings not to me;
Else would his ghostly voice prolong
An evening, not a morning, song;
And he would tell of each dear spot
knew so well and cherished then,
AS all forgetting, not forgot
By him who would be young again!
o child, the voice from yonder tree
Calleth to YOU and not to me;
SO wake and know those friendships all
l would to God could recall
