Everybody Pleased.

The comedy of Between the Acts" :"
given at Odd Fellows hall last Friday
night, under the auspices of the Ladies'
Aid of the Congregational church, assist
ed by members of the Williston Dramat-
ic Club, was very literally patronized
and gave general satisfaction. Mes
danes McChesney, Daniels and Van
Dyke, in the characters of Mrs. Clemen-
tina Meander, Edith Comfort and Sally,
the maid, respectively. rendered their
parts most charmingly, while Messrs.
Hjetland, Brownson aud Gibbs, in their
respective roles, acquitted themselves
with credit. Both in point of rendition,
and as financial success, the play
proved highly gratifying to all parties
concerned.

. In Lyngdal considerable tract of

well. He even says that the cattle

two hours and a half before breakfast!
Don't talk to me about how good the
vegetables are that come from ones
own garden and how much cheaper it
is to raise them than it is to buy them!
Great heavens! I'd eat dried peas and
canned corn and give dollar head

The Awakening of China.

DR.. Griffith John, of Hankow, thinks
1t likely that 1898 will be known in the
history of Chinese missions as 1.-The foot
unbinding year." The significant fea-
ture of the anti-bandage movement at
its present stage is that, although it
originated within the Christian
churches, it is now being widely spread
by the influence of prominent outsid-
ers. Another notable fact is that at the
annual NJ. a. examinations at Nam
chang, the capital of the Kiangsi prov
ince, one of the questions put was:
what do you know OF the repeopling
of the world by Noah and his family
after the food?" When one remembers
the violent opposition that has hitherto
been made to the study of any litera-
ture outside the national classics. it will
be recognized that such an incident in
itself marks the close of the antedi-
luvian period in Chinese history; for in
the Celestial empire the examination
programme does more to set the fash
ion in reading than any combination
of press notices and circulating libra
r;es could do with us.-Westminster
Gazette.
