Memorial.

Mrs. Maggie Smith, daughter of Mr.,
and Mrs. King Covey, was born March
2S, 1876 died May II, 1897.
1t is labor of love TO write these
lines in regard TO our departed loved
one, who suffered long and severely
ere the Master called her home. Dur
ing her long illness her unselfsh dis
position prompted her to think Of the
comfort of others rather than OF her
sufferings, and when too weak for
other effort she constantly prayed for
others who we're strangers to the Savior
who was her support and comforter,
The influence of this quiet christian
character penetrated the whole neigh
borhood in which she lived, and though
precious to her friends, we would not
call her back to this world, for we be-
lieve that the young wife and mother
is safe and happy in the mansion pre-
pared for her by the loving Savior, in
whom she put implicit trust. She can
not return to us, but we may go to her

The American w. C. It. u. Helped
Maintain Them.
During the latter part of the cam
paign in Greece excellent service was
done in the field hospitals by a few
English nurses who left home to care
for the wounded soldiers in the Greek
army. The princess of Wales was much
interested in the project, and lent her
influence to aid it, and Lady Henry
Somerset took an active part in the ar
rangements for the nurses departure,
says the New York Tribune.
This country also had its part in the
affair, for the National W. C. T. L. sent,
through Miss Frances Willard. S1.5OO
representing the expenses of sending
one nurse. The women. who were all
enthusiastic for the Greek cause and
experienced in hospital work. sailed
from London and arrived a few weeks
ago at Athens. They were heartily
welcomed there, and the people who
had assembled to greet them cheered
them warmly as they landed. The work
which was assigned to them was tax-
ing to their strength and frequently of
the most trying and disagreeable ma
ture, but they had come with the knowl-
edge that war meant hardships. and
they have acquitted themselves nobly.
The task of caring for the wounded is
not ended yet. and the nurses will
doubtless stay as long as their pres.
ence can be of use.

Lose Their Brass Buttons.
There couldn't possibly be in all this
city another crowd of men so disgusted
as were the watchman, guides and ele-
vator men at the city hall, says the
Philadelphia Record. 1t was all because
the public buildings commissioners had
been seized with what the men con-
sidered a ridiculous attack of economy.
This is the time of the year when all
uniformed men In the employ of the
city prepare to change their winter
clothing for their summer garments.
Now, the uniforms worn by the city hall
men are profusely adorned with brass
buttons bearing the seal of the city, and
the municipal authorities are particu-
larly careful to see that none of these
buttons shall ever go astray 1t is, in
fact, punishable ofiense for a common
citizen to have in his possession one of
these buttons. Accordingly when each
man appeared for duty, he was called
to the front and an official, armed with
q pair of shears, shipped off all the city's
buttons from the victims uniform eX-
cept one, which was left to hold the coat
across the chest. Fortunately the sus-
pender buttons on the trousers are Just
the ordinary kind, without any muni-
cipal insignia, otherwise there would
certainly have been strike. The crop
of buttons thus gathered in was sent
TO the tailor, who had finished the
summer uniforms up to the point of at
taching those necessary little articles.

fHE CHINESE IN NEW YORK.
Industrious, Temperate, Peaceful and
Charitable to One Another

Charitable to One Another.
There is Chinese population of near
ly 10000 in New York city, but it is a
rare sight to see any Chinaman apply
ing for help at any of the public charita-
bic institutions of that city, says a
Gotham exchange. The Chinese are
always ready to assist each other in all
the emergencies Of life. Most of them
belong to societies of mutual assistance
on the Chinese plan. When one of them
is pennlless he can borrow money.
When one is i'll nurses furnish the
needed service and if he dies the en-
penses Of the burial are always easily
obtained. Several hundreds of them
have become well off through the busi-
ness OF their washhouses. There are no
loafers among them; they are all noted
for their industrious lives Few of
them are addicted to the opium habit,
though many OF them occasionally in
dulgc in the fumes of the drug. 1t is
mainly the wealthy men among them
who enjoy the luxury of Chinese wives,
but others who desire to form white
matches find no difficulty in doing so,
rs far as obtaining mates is concerned.
As a rule the children born of these
unions adopt the American style of
life. The Chinese Of New York boast
that they produce proportionally fewer
criminals than any other element of
the population.
