Good Service.

From Harper's Bazar-
Although 1t may be true that the best
service is that which we render joyfully
with our hearts, and because We love our
wCrk and its object. yet there is d grandeur
in the work of a nan who does what he
dislikes. and what is abhorrent tc his ma
ture, from a stern conviction that 1t Is his
duty to do it.
1t is easy to work when We love our work
We bear days and nights of toll and priva-
ticn with patience when we are doing wha t
We wish to do. We think of the fulhllment
of our desire. and with that end in view
our hearts go out toward it's accomplish
ment, and nothing is hard that helps us to
bring 1t about.
Or If We are working for one we love- the
labor joyfully, happy that we are making
the comfort of the loved one.
But when none of these elements enter
into our labor; when the work is uncon-
geriai. and the object one with which we
do not sympathiZe; when there Is no love.
anywhere to soften the pain. and no inter
est 70 make the time pass quicker; when
nothing upholds the spirit but the stern de-
mani of the daily duty, and nothing eases
the tired mind but the grim thought that
one more days work Is over-what then
Is such service as that worth notning?
May Gods pity rest such life Far
harder than TO face cannon, by which one s
life may go out quickly, is II 10 live through
such living death.

Chinese Did Not Know.
Il. Louis Glcbe-Democrat.

FROM the 81. LOUIS 1lcDe-DSuocrdt
The shape of the earth was suspected by
some philosophers even in ancient times,
but the idea that continent existed on the
side opposite Europe does not appear TO
have entered the mind of any one previous
to the twelfth century, when its possible
existence was alluded to by two or three
authors, from whom il is supposed Column
bus received hints as to the feasibility OF
sailing entirely around the globe. Sir John
Vaudeville, who lived nearly two centuries
before the time of Columbus, stoutly main
tanned that not only was the earth round
but that II he had ships and men cour-
ageous enough to undertake a three years
voyage he would venture to clrcumnavigate
the globe. Even In the time of Columbus
however, the prevalent idea among the peo-
pie was that the earth was fiat, and many
believed it to be square. from the frequent
Biblical allusion to the four corners of the
earth There is nothing in the history of
any nation, even of the Chinese who claim
to be the most ancient. to indicate a popu-
lar belief in the globular shape of the
earth

CHINESE CONSERVATISM
A Bar to improvements ON the Ways
of Their Revcred Ancestors.


of Their Reycred Ancestors.
From the St Louis Globe Democrat
The two national traits which retaro
progress in China, according TO DR.. Chester,
secretary of foreign missions of the Pres
byterian Church South, are the "monu-
mental and unparalleled conceit' of the
people and their conservatism, which has
been better described as their adamantine,
biindfold satisfaction in the past"
The first thing one sees of China coming
from this direction, is the city of New
Shanghai 1t is fine modern city with
numerous factories, well equipped; lighted
by electricity, with wide boulevard, lined
by magnificent row Of business houses
three or four stories in halght, with hand
some residences, system of water works
and great many conveuIences OF modern
civilized life. One would suppose that all
these desirable things. taken out there and
put right down before the eyes of the Chi
nrSe, would excite their admiration and
stimulate desire to have the same advan-
tages. But we pass through a gate. through
the high stone wall that separates New
from OLD Shanghai, and find ourselves in
the midst Of typical Chinese city-a city
making about the least pretension to de-
cency and cleanliness of any city in the en-
piTe. We ask the citizens of Old Shanghai
If they would not like to have clean water
and clean streets and houses with grass
plots around them, and they say: NO.
Our ancestors for thousands OF years have
dispensed with such things. and shall we
set uD ourselves to be wiser and better than
theyY' i was told tnat the citizens of New
Shanghai offered to extend their water sup
ply. free of charge. to Old Shanghai, in the
hope of averting the pestilences that came
from the canals. A committee from Old
Shanghai was sent over to examine the
water. Its members went back and re-
ported that they did not like it, that II had
no body to it like the water of their canals
and that it had neither taste nor smell -
1t might be thought that there would be
some nope from the ltterati OF the coun-
try. but the litterati live in the hope CT OBJ
tanning an office under the Chinese system,
so they stand like stone wall of opposition
against all changes or reforms. The eiu-
cation of these men consists largely in the
memorizing of books from 1000 to 1905
years old. and the things they know are
the world could come to being worth abso-
lutely nothing.
Those who by bribery or some otker
means do at last receive an Official appoint
ment receive but nominal sum as salary.
They are supposed to supplement this in
such ways as they can-by pilfering money
that passes through their hands, by exact
ing money from ltlgants and by torturing
accused persons until the highest amount
possible is Wrung from their relatives in
order to secure their release. / suppose
that If the devil had been employed to de-
wise system for promotion OF official cor
rup;ion he could not have improved on this
system. There is nothing that presents
such tremendous obstacle to our mission
work as the official system in China.

Dawn

Walter Hosg in the London Spectator.
Over the chilly sea
The Dawn comes isshiveringly,
Pearl white the night dieans ciinging to her eye
Foriorn alone she waits
BY the worlds open gates,
A tlmid stranger under alien skies;
little while. and lO!.
Her pcbe OF pallif snow
kindles to silver shot with. orange streaks;
AS the still skies unfoIIl
SWlft change from gray to gold,
How the rose-red hushes her virgin cheeks.
She hears from tiny throats
Melo6ious greeting notes,
The waters brighten foauAiig raWBd her feet
Ger many a druwsy mile
Earth wakens with a smile
Ana Dawn's heart leaps her loveliness to greet.
Dawn grows to Day. to Eve,
That lingeringly takes leave,
Brought IN the suns car DER the shining dome;
Then In the Nights recess
She drinks forcetfulness
In dreams knows not the Days desired home.
SO when she comes again
Across the gloCming MAN,
Ever thus sad and strange is that new birth
Ever unknown and
The JOY that thrills her through,
hlndled at sight Of the awakening Earth.
Ever mans aged eyes
Greet with new sweet surprise
The lily OF heaven, child of all days deceased
And man's heart old so long
Uplifts the primal song
Smitten like Memnon from the sacred East

John Bennett in the Chap Book
Out In the SOUTH when the day is done,

Up from the windy sea.
Out In the south, when twilight shroud

Sail on sail, like floating cloud

Singing Spanish hymn

And hoarse threats call, Have you stricken vet p

Mad with glory and blind with fight
Locked with the Spanlards left and right,

Walks cold on the beaten shore,

How to Color a Pipe.


There is woman In Chicago who is said
to be an expert upon the question of color
ing meerschaum pipes, theoretically. of
course, for she never smoked in her life.
This feminine pipe DOCTOR" as she is
styled, was born in France, and has spent
her life in studying pipes.
"A great many young men," she saw.
bring me meerschaums which they have
smoked Tor six or eight months and ask
why the pipes have failed to acquire the
dark colorlnS seen in the meerschaums of
those VINO are veterans in the art. / al
ways Know that such customers are begin
ners, and have never before ATTEMPTED to
cclor a pipe. The fact Is, that the finest
n.eerschaum ever imported could not be
given perfect color without being boiled
In Oil at just the right stage in its develop-
ment. Simply smoking it, no matter how
great the care exercised to prevent burning
or how rich and juicy the tobacco. would
never in the world secure the desired re-
suit.
who invariably smoke their meerschaums
altogether too long before having them
boiled. OF course, it is absolutely impos-
sible to make any hard and fast rules reg
ulating the length of time that the pipe
should be smoked before being sent to the
Kettle. Many things enter into that con-
sideration, but chiefly the quality of the
meerschaum. If the latter is very soft,
the pipe, in the hands of a steady smoker
will be ready for the oil in a week, while
hard pipe will require three weeks of al
most constant smoking to make it ripe
for it's hot bath.
The standard of shading at which most
smokers aim is a very dark brown, almost
black for the base of the bowl and the be-
ginning of the stem. and rich cherry for
the upper portion of the bowl. This gives
a variety of shading. AS the pipe Is
smoked after coming from the kettle, the
dark-br own base and stem will gradually
become charcoal black, while the cherry
colored upper half of the bowl will acquire
q yellowish tinge."

Relics. of Spanish Domino ton.

From the New orleans Plcayune.
All that is now visible in the city of New
Orleans that recalls the Spanish domination
In Louisiana Is comprised in the Chapel Of
the Ursulines on Chartres street Quilt in
1855, the st. Louis Cathedral completed
about 1793-9D and the Cabiido and Presby-
terry buildings (erected a few years after
the building of the cathedraD, which flank
the church on either side. Similarly. only
one relic of the French colonial days Of
Louisiana survives in the city, and this is
the old Ursuline convent on Ursultnes
street near Chartres, which Is now the
oldest relic Of the presence of Europeans
in the Mississippi Valley. Thus, by the
compensating whirligigs Of the mighty
wheel of time, has the beautiful land OF
Louisiana become almost entirely freed
from outward and material evidences of
the foreignism that for a little while was
permitted to be its master.

ilization." has carried their speech into
every part of the world, and planted their
habits everywhere?
Events Follow Fast.
Within a week such & question. which
we mad hitherto hardly thought seriously
to ask during our whole national exist
ence. has been put before US by the first
foreign war that we have had since we
became firmly established as a nation. Be-
fore we knew the meaning of foreign pos
sessions in d world ever growing more
jealous, we have found ourselves the cap
tCTs OF islands in both great oceans, and
from our home-staying policy of yester-
day We are brought face to face with
worldwide forces in Asia well as in
Europe, which seem to be working, by the
opening of the orient, for one of the
greatest changes in human history. Until
a little while ago our latest war dispatch
es came from Apromattox. Now our lat
est dispatches twhen this Is written) come
from Manila. The news from Appomattox
concerned us only. The news from Manila
sets every statesman and soldier in the
world to thinking new thoughts about us,
ana to asking new questions. And to no
body has the change come more unex-
pectedly than to ourselves Has it come
without our knowing the meaning of it?
The very swiftness of these events and
the with which they have come to
pass are matter for more serious thought

than any tasks that have engaged us since
We rose to commanding physical power.
Our Greatest Victory.
The removal of the scandal of Spain's
control of its last American colony is as
just and merciful as it is pathetic-a neces-
sary act of surgery for the health of civ
ilization. OF the two disgraceful scandals
of modern misgovernment, the one which
lay within our correction win no longer
deface the world. But when We have re-
moved 1t, let us make sure that we stop;
for the old worlds troubles are not our
troubles. nor Its tasks our tasks, and we
should not become sharers in it's jealousies
and entanglements. The continued pro-
gress of the race in the equalization of op-
portunity and in well-being depends on
democratic institutions, of which We, un-
der God, are yet, in spite of all our short
comings, the chief benefciares and Gus
todians. our greatest victory will not be
over Spain, but over ourselves-to show
once more that even in its righteous wrath
the republic has virtue of Self-reStraint.
AT every great emergency in our history
we have had men equal to the duties that
faced us. The men of the revolution were
the giants of their generation. Our civil
war brought forward the most striking
personality of the century. AS during a
period of peace We did not forget our cour-
during period of routine domestic politics
We have not lost our capacity for the lar
gest statesmanship. The great merit of
democracy Is that. out of It's multtudes,
who have all had a chance for natural de-
velopment, there arise, when occasion de-
mands, stronger and wiser men than any
c!ass-governed societies have ever bred.

Indians in Wisconsin,
From the Milwaukee Sentinel.


Wisconsin has at this late day about
5000 Indians of various tribes, all Of whom
with the exception of the Winnebagos
wear practically the ordinary clothing Of
the white man. The Winnebagos alone
cling to the native mode of living, occupy
ing their wigwams in even the coldest
weather. One-half Of the members of the
other tribes. the Milwaukee Sentinel says,
speak enough English for the purpose of
ordinary conversation. and more than one
half read the English language. They are
fast learning to recognize the legality of
matrimonial relations Eighty-ive per cent
OF them are engaged in pursuits OF civilized
life: ten per cent IN hunting fishing and
root gathering and the like: only five per
cent live exclusively on government rations.

SpectacIed Cows.
From the New York Herald.

Cows with spectacles are TO be seen on
tie Russian steppes. The steppes are COW
cred with snow more than six months Of
the year The cows subsist on the tufts
OF grass which crop above the snow, and
the rays OF the sun on the snow are so daz-
zling as to cause blindness. To obviate this
calamity, IT occurred to a kind hearted
man to protect the cows eyes in the same
way as those of human beings, and he
manufactured smoke colored spectacles
which could be safely worn by cattle.
These spectacles were a great success and
are now worn by upward OF 10000 head of
cattle. which no longer suffer from snow
blindness.
