an Experiences.
The meeting of the Cousins" held
last Saturday evening at Kawaiahao
Seminary, was one of peculiar interest.
Forty-fve years ago the society came
into existence under an impulse to aid
in the support of Rev. L. H. Gulick,
then about to begin his missionary Ia
bore in Micronesia. At this last meet
ing, the society listened to his brother
and children tell their experience of
missionary work in Japan. 1t was, as
was intended, Japan" meeting.
After the usual routine of business
the Japanese part of the program was
begun by the singing of a translation
into japanese of the hymn, beginning;
Rise, my soul; and stretch thy
wings" This was followed by pi-
ano solo by Miss Alice Rice Rev. o. H
Gulick improved the interval while the
collection was being taken, by relating
a custom which the people of Japan
have for planting a pine tree at Their
gate on New Years Day. He also read
a verse of poetry, written by a priest
for those occasions. The following
translation into English will give some
idea of the sentiments expressed by it:

Rev. Sidney Gulick was then called
upon by the president. He said there
was "a tendency in the Christian world
to look for speedy results in Japan in
the future, because of speedy results
attained in the past. II had been the
thought of many that by the end of the
century there would be no need of
further missionary work in Japan. 1t
was now understood that much of the
eagerness shown by the people in the
earlier days was due to their desire to
learn the secret of the power of West
ern nations. This eagerness has passed
away and missionary work now stands
upon its own merits"
Rev. C. A. Clark, whose wife is a
daughter of DR.. L. H. Gulick, exhibited
and explained the use of a Buddhist
rosary. This consisted of several
strings of beads ingeniously arranged,
so that it could be worked with one
hand, while the owner cooked his meals
or attended to his other duties. At
each repetition of prayer bead was
pushed along on one string and a
tally kept by means of the others.
When in this way the limit of the count
had been reached, something over 3d.
600 prayers would be said. The devo-
tee could then return TO the beginning
and start again.
Mrs. Clark spoke of the memories
awakened by being again on the spot
where a part of her childhood was
spent, and told in an interesting way
of the difficulty she first experienced
in Japan in reaching the women, and
how this was finally overcome by their
curiosity to see foreign baby. Her
children had been a great help to he1
in this way in getting hold on the
women and girls.
Mrs. Sidney Gulick told of the Chris.
tan Endeavor Society for the children
of the missionaries. Separated as the
families were, there was little oppor.
tunity for companionship and inter.
course, except in the summer vacation
when the families of the mission came
together. 1t was then that they could
improve the opportunity and the chill.

Making Coffee That is Not. Coffee.

For many years chicory has been
known to the world only as an adj,
ulterant Of coffee, with all that the
term implies. Now United States
Consul in Germany warns the import,
ers Of chicory in the United States Of
a bogus chicory made Of burned beet
roots which is being Extensively ship
ped to this country. -
A French Consular report will serve
to throw further doubt upon the
genuineness of the national cup Of
coffee as served in restaurants by..its
announcement of the discovery in
Paris in wholesale quantities of bogus
or artificial coffee berries. The berries
seized by the police were entirely
artificial. Chemical analysis showed
the presence Of ash, gum, dextrine,
ETC.. Under the microscope grains OF

Children In Factories.

In most of the large factories in
this country many little children are
employed, the majority Of them being
the offspring Of foreign parents-Rus.
sian, Polish, italian and Bohemian.
The little ones are strong and free from
nerve troubles, owing to their inheri.
lance of robust constitutions from a line
of ancestors who have spent simple,
out-of-door lives. Scientists say the
children Of these children will have no
such heritage, and that they will be
especially predisposed to indigestion
and consumption. 1t has been found
that the tenement born and bred child
is weakling in many respects, owing
to oyercrowding, poor ventilation,
lack of warmth and sunlight and fresh
air and poor food.

Leah turned her face away to hide
the shadow upon it.
Mothers always so sanguine!' she
was saying to herself. II don't know
how she can be, after such hard
life"
"And I think Heman Bracey's old
coat has got into the rags at last!''
continued Mrs. Trull eagerly. "It's
just the real, rich olive that I want
for a background to my bunch Of
China asters. I don't know how long
I've had my eye on that coat"
Leah went with her mother to the
drawing Of the rug rags at Viola
Bracey's, on the other side of the cove
1t was made festive occasion, and
each visitor contributed some dainty
to the feast. There were many
cookies with caraway seeds in them
and the tea was strong. Leah had
made two cream pies after a recipe
that she had learned when she taught
school "on the main She said to
herself that, if her mother were disap-
pointed about the rug rags, it might
comfort her little to have carried
something to the supper nicer than
anyone else would carry.

there were assembled seventeen

And there were seventeen folded

potent sign that made it the winning

There was chorus of assent; only
old Miss Saulsbury's and Eunice
Young's assents were feeble; they were
both over seventy, and with initials
so far down in the alphabet it seemed
unlikely that they would ever get the
rags. "Mother spoEe up real chirp, F."

path, around the rocky pasture.
The Appleby house stood silent and
deserted in the May sunshine.
Mrs. Trull paused, with her hand on
the latch of the woodshed door. Her
heart beat like trip hammer, and she
felt giddy from the excitement, or from
the walk in the hot sun.
"For them that can put up with
braided rugs, one color is as good as
anothef.s she said to herself. 1T ism t

She lifted the latch and went in.
Woodshed doors were never fastened
on Burberry Island; rarely were any
others. There, near the door, hung
the great ragbag; she thrust her hand
into it breathlessly. A little overturn-
ing, and she had the piece of pink
cashmere in her hand.
The woodshed door, which she had
carefully lclosed behind her, opened
suddenly, and Mrs. Lot Appleby ap-
peared, in her calico wrapper and her
old shade hat.
Little Mrs. Trull had never tainted
in her life, but she grew very dizzy
again; there was a whirling before her
eyes and then darkness. When she
came to herself, she was lying on the
woodshed floor with her head on Mrs.
Appleby's knees. She clutched wildly
about her. There was no piece of pink
cashmere, no piece of the waterproof
cape!
CHOW, you just keep still for a few
minutes!' said Mrs. Appleby with ten
der authority. 1T does seem a real
shame that when you'd come to see me

expected to go in her as captain on his

Mrs. Trull sat next to Mrs. Apple

tentatiously turned upon her. When
Mrs. Appleby avowed her intention Of
making braided rugs, Mrs. Trull
looked at her with Mortified excla-
nation. II don't expect I am as am

Appleby with little embarrassed
laugh.

And the sympathetic murmur which
followed this remark showed the es-

AS for little Mrs. Trull, no one but
her daughter: observed her. It was
generally understood that she was

should be taken faint. But the sun is
dreadful hot for May! I went most
down to the cove after stray chicken,
and declare I thought I should have
been sunstruck! I was glad that I
hadn't gone over to Aunt Jerusha
Bakers as I intended; I heard that she
had her husbands niece Sophrony
with her, and I thought she'd rather
have me after Sophrony had gone. I
should have missed seeing you, too, if
I'd gone.
Little Mrs. Trull, still upon the
floor, turned herself around and looked
challengingly, almost defant]y, into
her neighbours serene and kindly face.
''It isn't mite of use for you to talk
that way!" she said hoarsely. 'You
know just as we'll as I do that I came
thinking you had gone away. And
you've hid away the pieces to make
me think you don't know! I know /
didn't put them back in the bag" She
glanced towards the bit of pink that
showed at the top Of the ragbag. It.
it was real good Of YOU, Her voice
broke suddenly. II never did sneak
ing things till lately! I'd set my heart
on getting pink China aster for my
rug, and it's been terrible snare to

"Why, la! it want anything so
dreadful just to change pieces! I only
wish I'd known you wanted the pink
piece. I'm going to give the rags all
to you, if you'll take them, for, what
with Aunt Jerusha being sick and Ma
hum coming home next week, I sha'n't
have time to make rugs"
The two women stood facing each
other now, and Mrs. Trull's small,
sharp features worked conYnlsive1y.
'I've done more than you know, I"
she said impulsively-''a sight more
than that my mother fetched yours
before the church for doing! I sat
right next to the slips Of paper that
day, when they'd been fixed for draw.

folds, where Rags was written on

"No, that rug with the China asters
is not for sale" said Mrs. Trull, firmly,
to the summer visitors from the main,
who were going into ecstasies of ad-
mirat1on over her handiwork. ''Yes,
