They Render Excellent Service If They
NAre Treated With Consideration.
Japanese servants are excellent if you
choose them with discretion and treat
them with tho established consideration
of the country. There is a universal So
clal compact i'll Japan to make life
pleasant by politeness Everybody is
more or less well bred and hates tho
man or woman who is yakamashu-
noisy, uncivil OF exigent
People who lose their temper are al
ways i'll hurry, bang DOORS swear and
'swngger, find themselves out of place
IN land where the lowest cody learns
and practices all ancient courtesy from
the time when he wabbles about as q
baby upon his mother back Therefore
to be treated we'll i'll Japan-as perhaps,
indeed. elsewhero-you must treat every
body, including your dolnestics, well.
and then you will enjoy the most pleas
ant and willing service.
Your cook will doubtless cheat you a
little, your jinrikisha man will now
and then take too much sake, the mug
mu and the boys wife will gallop all
over the place about everything you do,
and the gardener and the coachman will
fight cocks in the back yard when your
back is turned, but if conscious of your
own you can forgive the little sins of
others. You can hardly fail to become
closely attached to the quiet, soft voiced,
pleasant people, who as soon as they
have learned your ways will take real
pleasure i'll making life agreeable to you.
A present now and then of q kimono

bright faces and unmistakable warmth

speed OH going as repay you tenfold.
Respectful rs Japanese servants are
and they never speak except on their
knees and faccs-they like to be taken
into the family conversation and to sit
sometimes in friendly abandon with the

Once in awhile the clerks in tho pub
lie library get hold of good joke
through the Ignorance Of people who
come there to take out books. 1t was
not long ago that woman who was
anxious to join the Daughters of the
American Revolution cano there to
look up her family history and get her
facts and claims ready to submit to the
committee on membership. Sho went
about it in rather a queer way. After
looking about aimlessly through tho in
dex for Il time she discovered "Lossing's
Family History of the United States. +"
She wrote her request for the books on
one Of the cards provided for that pur-
pose and was quite indignant with tho
clerk who handed it to her because it
did not contain what she wanted
1t was not long after this incident
that another woman, who, from her
dress and appearance, the clerks thought,
might bo literary, wrote ON one of the
cards request for "Tho Autocrat of
the Breakfast Table"
Holmes 'Antocrat, do you want?'
politely asked the clerk
"Oh, don't care whose it is" was
the reply. 81 only want to find ont if it
is proper to use toothpicks at tho break

Another request for magazine which
the applicant said was called Brain

an hour before he discovered that what
was wanted was the magazine called

THOUGHTS ON THE NEW YEAR,

HALL glad New Year, with hopo and cheer
We kiss thy virgin hand.
And trust and pray, that peace today
MAY hless our happy land.
May God above whose hand of love
Shapes at thelforgc of time
The veal and woe His children know.
Crown thee with grace sublime
Old year gone by, so fraught with JOY,
So prosperous, kind and true.
with reverend bow we bid thee now
A long, a last adieu.
May dlscord cease and love increase
Throughout the year begun;
May foe to foe forgiveness show
And thoughts of malice shun.
Fit time is this to share our bliss
With those who stand in need,
And humhly prove by deeds of love
That we are Saints indeed.
'Tls not the one who seeks to shun
The burdens life impose
That carves his name on heights of fame
And wins the worlds applause.
But 1t is he who cheerf,llly
At duty's call appears
And acts his part with manly heart
Whose worth the world reveres.
Then let us try with single eye
Our failings past to trace,
Resolved that we shall better be
As time rolls on apacc.
And watch and pray from day to day,
That we may never yield
Truths armor bright TO errors might
On lifp's great battlefield

YELLOW FEVER DISTRICT.


sturgcs, Miss, Dec. 18th, 1891.
To the Editor:
President f. Il. Pomeroy and his COM
panlon. Elder Thomas Condle, OF the
Missouri conference, spent quite a
while with us during the quarantine
on account of yellow fever. We think
there are few such men anywhere in
the mission field; certainly, they have
no superiors in self-devotion and ener-
sy in the cause. We feel that we
have been greatly blessed with their
counsel and advice. During the yell
low-fever scare. Elders Pomoroy and
Condie tasted five days, having re-
quested the Elders of this the Mis-
souri, conference to fast at the same
time, that the epidemic then raging
might be stayed. That self-sacrfice
doubtless the means, in the hands of
God, in protecting the Elders from the
scourge, and staying its ravages in the
state. At any rate, 1t was not so
malignant as IL was in 1878 in Mem
phis, Tenn, and various places in Mis-
souri, The Scriptures inform us that
the effectual, fervent prayers Of the
righteous avail much. Not an Elder,
so far as | know. was affected by the
disease, although some of them were
very near its ravages.
We were in hopes that Elders Lyman
and Cowley In their tour through the
South would hold conference near
enough to us, that some of us at least
could enjoy the benefit of the counsels
of these Apostles. But as they Will
hold forth in Jackson, more than 100
miles away, we must forego the pleas
ure for this time. II. p. DoTSON.
