The Prime Minister Won.

A former governor of the Australian
colonies tells of a curious experience
he once had with long-headed prime
minister. The latter brought in GER
tain measure, calculated to make the
government popular with the working
classes. although 1t affected foreign
power so much that representations
were made to the imperial authorities
on the subject A dispatch was accord
ingly sent out to the governor to veto
the bill. He sent for the premier. I'm
sorry. old man." said his excellency,

A GREAT RAG DOLL FAMILY.
Sent to Little Orphan Girls in Far


on Land.
First, we get a glimpse OF an or
phanage at Marsovan. Turkey. which
was founded ", consequence of the
dreadful massacre, says the Denver
News. One of the founders of that or
phanage is DR.. T. S. Darlington. whose
labors for the Armenian people are
well known His devoted wife has
long seconded his labors for the little
children, the remnants OF Turkish
butcheries, and from her came letter
last February describing how the or
phan girls were heart-hungry for dolls,
how they would wrap a rag around a
bit OF wood and hug it, and pick up
bits of cloth and pretend they were
dolls. This letter, through the kindly
medium OF Mrs Carrington's mother,
a resident OF Denver, came into the
hands OF Mrs. Hayden, who faced the
problem with her accustomed energy.
She called to her aid group OF ladies,
most OF whom were living somewhat
lonely lives. and for five weeks these
tender hearts worked and prayed over
the dolls. Such dolls as could be
bought would be easily broken. and so
II was decided to make the whole
batch, from toes to feathers, from hat
to heel. They were cut out of strong
bingham and other washable material,
aprons dresses, and all accessories be-
ing carefully manufactured, and the
bodies stuffed with cork crumbs. The
dolls have we'll nigh reached their new
mothers by this time, barring un-
looked for hindrances

Our Good Side and our Bad.

There is a good side and a bad side
to every man. We see only the good
side OF some men, and we wonder that
he Is not esteemed by all as we es-
TEEN him. We see only the bad side
OF another man, and we are surprised
that others prize him as we cannot. We
are right and we are wrong in both
cases. Both men have both sides, and
We ought to recognize this in our esti-
mate of them II is with ourselves as
with our fellows; we have a good side
and bad side, and those about us
are likely to judge us by the one side
or the other. 1t will be we'll for us II

others as to our two sides. Il ought

right direction and to repress the faults
and defects for which others judge us
