THE FIRST BABY.
it's Coming IS Looked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and its
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by AL.

The arrival of the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most inn
portant event of married life. The young
wife who is to become mother delights
TO think of the happiness in store for her
wheE the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, mother"
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. Anindescribablef fear of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands of women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use of Mothers Friends scien-
tific liniment-for few weeks before
the trying hour, expectant mothers can
SO prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering of the
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
it is safely passed through with COM
paratively little discomfort. q
AN women are interested, and es-
pecially expectant mothers who for the
first time have to undergo this trial, in
such remedy; for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing of the dam
ger, which is in store for them. "Moth-
er's Friend" is woman's greatest bles-
sing, for it takes her safely through the
severest ordeal of her life. Every woman

Ceremony Arranged by Chance En-
tirely In Persia and Japan.
The naming of the child in Persia is
made an event of great rejoicing and
a time for the gathering of relatives.
When the guests are assembled sweet
meats are eaten and then the infant in
its swaddling clothes is brought in
and laid on the carpet in the center OF
the room by one of the priests.
Five names are written on as
many slips of paper and placed
between the leaves OF the Koran;
chapter is read from this
book and then one Of the slips is
drawn at random. The name on the
slip is the one the child has to bear
through life, and the priest takes up
the slip, pronounces the name in the
child's ear and places the piece of pa
per in its clothes. Gifts and congratu
lations follow. The custom in Japan
is for the parents on the thirteenth
day after its birth to take the child to
the temple they attend and the father
gives three names to the priest, who
wrltes each on piece OF paper. These
are then shufled about with certain
incantations and thrown up in the air.
The first that falls is the one chosen.
This is then written by the priest on
a consecrated piece OF paper and given
to the child's parents to preserve The
child then receives certain gifts, two OF
which are important If boy, two
fans are presented; and if a girl. pot
of pomade, and in each case a packet
of flax thread is added, which signi-
s;es good wishes and long life.

Bread is pleasant to the taste; no
other food is so universally liked. SO
does Christ include within himself all
pleasures. Many foods are good with
reservation, as, only in cold weather
or if the body is in such condition, or
when cooked in this fashion. But
bread is good without reservation. So
is Christ To feed upon Christ is to
think long about him, to refer every
thing to his arbitrament, to seek in all
things his approval, to fear no condem-
nation but his. We must obtain the
bread before we can feed upon it. How
obtain Christ? BY earnest Bible
study; by long-continued prayer; by
doing his will that we may know the
doctrine. No one can eat enough
bread to-day to last through tomorrow
and the next day. Why is it that so
many think they can get enough of
Christ on Sunday to last them through
the week?

Concerning Headaches.

To attempt to Danish all variations
OF headache by single cure" shows
a childlike faith in medicine, but very
little common sense. The first step
toward curing headache is to find out
which kind of one it is, and to de-
vote ones energies to drive it away.
The headache which results from in
digestion is of frequent occurrence.
and it implies overeating or unwise
eating, and that when a woman finds
herself afflicted with such headache
she should proceed to cure it by fast
ing and a mild cathartic and sitting
w4tn her feet in hot water before 60
ing to bed.
The nervous headache is the kind to
which women. are the most subjected,
says Womans Life, as it results from
the effort to make the nerves do more
than they ought to do. The first step
in treating this headache is to drop
work and worry, if possible, and draw
blood from the head by soaking the
feet in hot water and putting cold APP
plications to the forehead and the back
of the neck. A great many mysterious
headaches have their origin in over
strained eyes. This kind is cured only
by giving the eyes a vacation or by an
oculist. OF course, care in the use of
the eyes is also help. Reading, writ
ing or sewing in dim or pickering
light must be given up. The common
practice of trying to read in jolting
trains must also be discarded. The
eyes must never be used too long at a
time. and when there Is much eye
work to be done, brief rests and bath
ings in hot water will ward off the
dreaded headache. The headache
which is the result of exposure to colds
or draughts or sudden changes is best
treated by hot applications, hot water
bags. and gentle friction of the place
OF pain. If this does not Danish the
headache in a day, then a deeper ILL
ness is indicated. The best way to
treat headaches is to avoid them-to
refuse to overtax the eyes, the nerves
or the stomach, and to give attention
to exercise and bathing.

Singing by the WAY.

Ho! comrades. heavenward faring,
Let's sing in cheerful strain;
A song to tighten labor,
And soothe the heart OF pain.
A song of Gods own gladness
So full Of hope and cheer
That weary wayside pilgrims
VIII gain new strength to hear.
Life holds for most, my comrades.
More happiness than pain:
God gives day of sunshine
For every hour of rain.
So, trusting in the wisdom
OF His eternal plan,
Let's face the rain or sunshine
And do the best we can.
Oh, let us sing, my comrades.
OF blessings by the way
The g.eams of light that brighten
The lowering skies of gray.
And as we sing about them
The shadows break apart,
And all the worlds in sunshine
Because we're glad of heart.

ACuRECATE MAN AS A WALKER
lie Takes stroll of 10000 Miles Every
caoOnd

ACuRECATE MAN AS A WALKER
lie Takes stroll OF 10000 Miles Every
Second.
From the London Mail: If the av-
erage old man of comparatively seden-
tary habits were told that during his
life he Lad walked as many miles as
would compass the earth at the equator
six times he would probably be much
surprised. And yet such a pedestrian
effort only represents an average walk
of six miles a day for a period Of
sixty-eight years. Similarly, the man
who is content with the daily average
walk of four miles will consider him
self an athlete on learning that every
year he walks a distance equal to
trip from London to Athens. When
one considers the aggregate walking
records of the world, the figures are
even more Surprising. Assuming that
each individual averages a four-mile
walk day (and this cannot be con-
sidered an extravagant estimate when
one remembers that Thomas Phipps
Of bingham has walked 100000 miles
on postal duty alone), the startling
conclusion is arrived at that the world
covers journey of 69,444 miles every
time the clock ticks, night and day.
This means that the worlds walking
record for a second of time is equal
to two trips around the equator and
more than thirteen jaunts between
London and Naples. Every minute
the aggregate man walks a distance
equal to eight return trips to the moon,
supplemented by over fifteen walks
around the earth's waist. In an hour
he could walk as far as the sun and
back again, take a trip to the moon
Cfrom the earth) 40 times, while still
leaving himself stroll CT 100000 miles
to finish the cigar he lit at the com
mencement Of his journey of sixty min
utes. But considering the rate Of his
progress, it Is probable that even a
slow smoker might require a second
cigar before finishing the walk. In a
single year the aggregate man walks
distance of 2,19O,0000 900 miles,
which, after all, inconceivably great
as it is, would take him less than one
eleventh part of the way to the nearest
fixed star 1t is well for the aggregate
mans exchequer that he walks these
distances instead of covering them by
rail. At the rate of a penny mile, the
worlds annual walk would cost f9.125,-
100000, or ten times as much gold as
is current throughout the entire world.
TO purchase a ticket for this distance
it would be necessary to mortgage the
entire United Kingdom to three-fourths
of its full value.

The Thumb Mark Test

1t seems an astonishing thing that
the natural signature, the impression
of the thumb or finger-tip, Is not used
to greater extent than it is for purposes
of Identification. If the thumb be
lightly pressed upon a surface smeared
with printing ink, and then pressed
upon clean paper. an impression is OBJ
tanned which is distinctive for the par
ticular individual who owns the mem
Der. No two thumbs or fingers are
alike in the arrangement of their null
titudinous lines, and a seal which can
not readily be mislaid or lost. The
French police use this test to assure
themselves of the identity of a pris-
oner: but surely the system could be
usefully extended. A newspaper cor
respondent who recently pleaded for
such an extension of the :humb-ma
test stated that once wnen abroad he
was in great straits for money, al
though he held cheques for considera.
Die amount. simply becaSxe he could
not prove his identity. II the local
banker had only had an impression OF
his finger-tip. as well as authority to
pay, all difficulty would at once have
vanished.

To Can Grapes.

Take good fresh grapes. pick them
from the stems, being careful not to
and shake them down and add more
if there is room without MASKING.
Make syrup the same as for the
peaches, and be sure you fill the cans
full of syrup, then proceed the same
as with the peaches. Grapes canned
in this way keep their Shape perfectly
and are luscious for the table. The
juice from this fruit when the cans are
opened is the most perfect sweet wine
that can be found for invalids or con-
valescents, or as a most delicious sum-
mer drink when water and ice are
ADDED.

Entire sections OF streets here are now

Going to Red Hungry.

1t is a mistake 10 suppose that il Is

an hour of sleeplessness may be avoid
c. " nibbling biscuit at bedtime. All
animals, except man, eat before Sleep
ing, and there is no reason why man
should form an exception to the RUE.
Fasting between the long interval be-
tween supper and breakfast, and es-
pecially complete emptiness OF the
stomach during sleep, add greatly TO
the amount of emaciation, sleeplessness
and general weakness so often met
with. 1t is well known that in the
body there is a perpetual disintegration
of tissue-sleeping or waking. 1t is,
therefore. natural to believe that the
supply of nourishment should be some
what continuous, especially in those in
whom the vitality is lowered.
As bodily exercise is suspended dur
ing sleep, with wear and tear corre-
spondingly diminished. while diges-

had been translated irto but a very
few OF the languages of pagan nations.
Not more than five million copies Of
the Bible had been issued from the
time that printing was invented until
the beginning of the nineteenth CEN
tury, and these existed in less than
fifty languages. Since then about
three hundred million Bibles, New
Testaments and portions of Scripture
have been printed. and the number of
translations in which the sacred Book
now exists is four hundred, according
to the careful estimate recently made
by j. G. Watt, NJ A.. and published In
late issue Of the Bible Society Re-
porter. So the Word of God is now in
the languages of six-seyenths OF the
worlds population. Thirty years ago
the enemies of missions ridiculed the
idea of ever Outstanding the people
of India and China, and they declared
that the effort would be fruitless. At
the present time. however the growth
of Christianity in those countries is so
striking as to astonish travellers.
Julian Hawthorne. the distinguished
journalist, who not long ago visited
India in order to ascertain facts con-
corning the famine and who is by no
means a prejudiced witness to the
value Of missions, declares that the
evidences of the good that mission
aries have done for India exist on
every hand. Dr. John Henry Barrows
declares, as the result Of his visit to
India, that the number of native
Christians in that land is increasing
more rapidly than the population.
Testimony to the value OF missions in
China IS abundant, and affords strong
ground for the ultimate evengelization
of that country. One Of the most
striking conquests of Christianity is
that afforded by the evangelization Of
the Fiji islanders and other natives of
the islands of the South seas When
the fact is considered that only sixty
years ago those islands were inhabited
by cannibal tribes and that today they
are peopled by a civilized. Christian
population, we can readily realize the
absurdity of the claim of infidels that
missions are a failure. The result of
missionary effort in Uganda presents
us with another strong proof of the civ
ilizing power Of the Christian religion.
Fifteen years ago the inhabitants were
savages: today the population is civil
lied and Christian. Says a writer con-
corning Uganda: Formerly it reeked
in blood and was the scene of perpet-
ual strife. Now. under the influence OF
Christianity, all is changed. Slavery
has been abolished with the consent
Of the chiefs; law, order and decorum
prevail; and woman occupies an hon
orable position In every part of the
world are we presented with evidence
of the fact that Christianity is to be
the religion of the globe. And judging
by the rapid strides made during the
present century, we have every reason
for believing that the day is not far
distant when all nations shall have the
Word of God in their own tongues,
and when the religion of Christ shall
prevail among all people.-The Union
