TIE 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 All.

The arrival Of the first baby in the

portant event of married life. The young
wife who is to become mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when 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. An indescribabNe fear OF the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands of women have learned

no necessity for TIE suherings which at

Embarrassed.

A very amusing story is current IN
London jast at present concerning one
Of the most fashionable doctors, one,
indeed, who has very large practice.
It seems that he has telephone in
his bedroom The other night when
the weather was particularly stormy
and the eminent physician and his
wife were both. fast asleep the tele-
phone suddenly rang and over the wire
came the message 'Please come
around at once to Berkeley Square;
Lady BIS very i'll. /"
The physician uttered an e;acula-
ton which was distinctly unparlia-
mentary, and handing the transmitter
to his wife, said: "Say am out Of
town. which, like an obedient wife,
she Immediately proceeded to do.
The following afternoon the physi-
clan called at Lady BIS house, and
meeting her husband, exclaimed: $50
sorry I was not at home when you rang
me up last night. y
But you really were not at homer"
inquired Lord B..
"Of course not, replied the physi-
clan, with most unblushing ef-
frontery.
G''Then, my dear doctor" spoke Lord
B., who is bit Of wag, in the
most earnest and sympathetic manner,
~ must sympathize with you in your
terrible misfortune. For distinctly
heard mans voice in you bedroom
talking to your wife
The face Of the physician is stated
to have defed description, all the
more as Lord B hurried off the mo-
ment he had said this without giving
him time to utter word in reply

THE LITTLE QUILT.

The drawer with dainty things was full.
The cradle quilt was new,
So warmly tucked with heecy wool
And lined and bound with blue.
The pillow, edged with knitted lace.
Her loving fingers made.
In dreams she saw tender face
Against its softness laid.
For but one moment to her breast
She iteld that little form,
Nor tears nor closest kisses pressed
Nor quilt could keep him warm.
So deep the cradle where he lies
Its rockers never stir,
While angels breathe the luliabies
He never learned from her.
The autumns gently lay a spread
OF mingled brown and gold.
And winter SHOWS about his bed
Their feecy blankets fold
Each year the Maytime weaves anew
In leafy pattern, set
With violets of white and blue.
A winsome coverlet..
Her feet now seldom seek the spot
Where he SO long has lain,
And almost has her heart forgot
The olden hope and pain.
let somewhere waits for her the face
And dreams her fancy built,
The while her fingers knit the lace
And pieced the cradle quilt.

A Missionary Examination.

MISSIONARY ExamlnatlGn.
Successful missionary work. lin hea-
then countries is done only by mis-
sionaries who possess a rare.combina-
tion Of personal traits. In too many
cases the examination Of the candidate
fails to reveal the presence or the
absence Of this combination. But the
following story tells how an unusual
examination, sort Of N-ray. made
just the sort of missionary needed:
1t was winter; the examiner sent
the candidate word to be at his home
at three o 'clockin the morning. When
the young man arrived at the appointed
time, be was shown into the.study,
where he waited for five hours. AT
length the old clergyman appeared and
asked the other how early he had
come.
FThree o'clock sharp.
"Al. right; its breakfast time now,
come in and have some breakfast.
After breakfast they went back to
the room.
Well, sir, said the old man, /
was appointed to examine you as to
your fitness for the mission field; that
is very important; can you spell, sir?'
The young man thought he could.
Spell baker, then.
'B a, ba, ker, baker
"All right; that will do. Now, do
you know anything about fgures?'
Yes, sir; something
How much is twice two q
"Four.'
All right, that's splendid; you'll
do first rate. I'll see the board.
When the board met, the old man
reported
s'Well, brethren, I have examined
the candidate, and recommend him
for appointment. He'll make tiptop
candidate-frst-class.
First, said the old examiner. [
examined the candidate on his self
denial. I told him to be at my house
at three o'clock in the morning. he
was there. That meant getting up at
two in the morning, or sooner, in the
dark and cold. He got up; never
asked me why.
''Second. I examined him on
promptness. / told him to be at my
house at three 0 clock sharp. He was
there, not one minute behind time.
S'Third. Iexamined him on patience.
[ let him wait FIVE hours for me, when
he might just as well have been in
bed, aud he waited and showed no
signs Of impatience when I went in.
Fourth. examined him on his
temper. He didn't get mad; met me
perfectly pleasantly: did task me why
I had kept him waiting from three
o'clock on cold winter morning till
eight.
SFifth. I examined him on humil-
ity. I asked him to spell words a
fve-year.old child could spell, and to
do sums in arithmetic 6ve-year-old
child could do, and he didn't show
any indignation, didn't ask me why /
wanted to treat him like child or a,
fool.
Brethren, the candidate is self
denying, prompt, patient, obedient,
good-tempered, humble; he's just the
man for a missionary, and | recon-
mend him for your acceptance.

The BoDY's PURIFIER.

The kidneys and liver act as
purifiers for the human body.
The blood, which is the life, is
relieved by them of all poisonous
and effete matter, and passes on,
ward to energize and vitalize the
entire system.
Most important, then, is it that
these organs should adequately per-
form their proper functions, and
happily an agent exists which,
when they become disordered, con-
gested and all clogged up, can re-
store them quickly to their normal
healthy condition.
1t has blessed the world for
twenty-five years, and is known as
Warmers Safe Cure. It has saved
thousands of lives, and is to-day
the only known specific for all dis
eases and weaknesses of kidneys
and liver.
