The American Board of Foreign Mis-
sions OF Boston, representing the Con-
gregational churches OF the United States.
will hold it's next annual meeting ia
Toledo. o., October 6 to o. The.Rev.
RICHARD y. SToRRs, ID. d., OF Brooklyn,
is the president and Hon. t. w. BLATcu-
FORD OF Chicago is vice-president.
The American board appeals powerfully
to those who have the fullest knowledge
OF its work. II has had during tho past
year 572 missionaries under its care, with
3107 native helpers. In its 461 churches
are associated a., 413 commandments, OF
which number 3266 were added on confess
sion during the past year. II maintains
16 theological schools, with 2O6 pupils;
124 colleges and higher schools, helping
to equip s064 picked youth, and 1925 COM
mon schools. with az. $50 pupils. The
translation and revision of the Scriptures
have never been more actively pressed or
attempted on larger scale than during
this year. The influence OF the medical
missionary reaches an ever widening
field, and by his ministrations in hospital
and dispensary, where more than 0,00o
patients annally receive medical relief
and the word OF the gospel, powerfully
reinfofces the work of the missions.
The financial support has not kept pace
with this growth, hence, Notwithstanding
the retrenchment, there is an urgent call
for an advance in contributions OF Mt least
s75, 600 this present year. The receipts for
the year ending August 81, 1895, were
s176, ,s3z17.
1t IS hoped that there will be a larger
delegation than usual in attendance at
the Toledo sessions from tho Middle and
Western States, In addition to the GUS
tomary large attendance from New Eng
land. Special efforts will be made to
restore to the missionaries.the salaries re-
ceived before the reduction of this year,
occasioned by the hard times, and also
the appropriations for advanced work
among the natives OF pagan lands and by
them.

The New York Herald sizes up the
situation this way: "Are the Democrats,
after all, determined to wabble into
oblivion? II looks that way. 1t looks
good deal as though the Democratic lead
ers once more, as in 1851, were bent on
saying good by to patriotism, to pride in
their country's credit and fair fame and
las a necessary result--a long good by to
power and to influence for good"

"Beauty is but skin Deep" That is a
skin-deep saying. Beauty Is heart deep.
Ii is out of the heart we desire 1t. 1t is
out of the heart il grows. This is not a
mere saying like the other. 1t is the fact
and secret that We are eager TO penetrate.
There is, indeed, a skin-deep beauty: q
mere unearned, unlived, bodily inheri-
tance; but out OF some heart, through
some life-earning, 1t must always have
been originated and evolved. The grand
est beauty may wait, its secret glory not
shown forth, for a lifetime; covered in
with plain, even ungainly exterior, as a
noble building is roughly boarded up
while 1t is being carefully wrought to it's
PERFECTION. Many woman goes through
the world like this. Or the true beauty
may be so tender in it's beginnings that
Ii needs to be hidden, shielded--not made
sign of before It's time-lest ii should be
spoiled and perish in the exposure. So
the final heritage waits, while present
outer poverty Is permitted, which, like
the opposite condition, may have come
down through some strain OF ancestry;
the outer betrayal of a farback, inner
want. OF such waiting, little further
on, a wonderful loveliness may be born.
A plain woman, with beauty in her soul,
has often been the mother of "A marvel
ously beautiful child. Beauty Is a
seed In the nature. 1t will germinate,
bud, leaf out, blossom. II the beauty is
inside you, and alive, you wilI-some
time, somewhere-be a form of beauty.
How else did God make out OF His own
beautiful thought, the beautiful world?
You have only got to live, love on and
wait. You shall have your birthrig ht.
Certain of this, will you care IL even 1t
does not wholly come to you within the
threescore years and ten? When you
come OF age you shall possess your estate.
Only-nsver barter it away for mess OF
pottage you happen to be- hungry for

"Feeding City Like New York." an
article by John Gilmer Speed in July
Ladies' Home Journal, presents some i'm
teresting and astonishing statistics. For
instance, Mr.. Speed declares that New
Workers Consume $4,000, 600 dozen eggs
per year, for which they pay s14, 400, 00O
290 500 pounds of butter per day, cost ing
SIS, 200 900 per year; 2g7, 900 gallons of
milk, 5000 gallons of cream and 100 gall
Ions of condensed milk daily, at q yearly
outlay Of s16, $50, 600. Including cheese
aggregate value OF the diary products
consumed In New York city Is Sis, 400, 600
Mr.. Speed fixes the valuation OF the
meats OF various kinds sold to New York
ers each year at about s5s, 900, 600. This
does not include poultry, from 200, 900 TO
400, 900 head OF which are sold weekly
Upon a conservative estimate Mr. Speed
places tho quantity OF fish consumed
yearly I'm New York at $1,000, 600 pounds,
not including oysters, clans, crabs md
other shell fish. There are "a, 600 bushel
OF potatoes sold in New York daily, the

aggregate value OF the tubers being SIS,

bushels OF wheat (flour) eaten every week.
besides large quantities of oatmeal, buck

that were New York cut of from all the
