What would you say it WASP" asked
Mr.. Avery.
"Silk," replied unhesitatingly.
''No; I should call it linen, but of 9
marvellous TEXTURE" said Miss Arnold.
eft is neither. You have perhaps
heard Of Chins-grass, out Of which the
grass-cloth handkerchiefs sold in Paris
and London are made. A similar
grass grows here. It is, correctly
speaking, not a grass, but fiber.
The cloth is formed by twisting the
threads. first into long pieces and
then into piaits, and subjecting them
to a weaving process known only tc
these people. You will notice it is
nearly transparent in some places,
while in others there are various
figures, such as flowers, birds and ami
mails. It is no rude people who dc
that work"
Indeed mott" exclaimed. eft is
shameful to think of these people be-
ing in bondage. Have they never
struck for iberty?"
"No; their spirit is broken. They
have no alternative but to slave fol
their heather masters"
"Is there not moment when the
vigilance of the guards is relaxed:
Never an opportunity to strikea blow?
Mr.. Avery smiled sadly.
"What would they strike with!
There is not a weapon on the island
save those in the possession of oul
masters-and these of yours. And in
the fortress of Quiental there are thou
sands of Chinese cavalry"
"But can they keep fifty thousand
OF a noble race in abject slavery? II
is preposterous?"
Mr.. Avery shook his head.
"Wait," he said. 'You are an
American and think of fighting as an
easy way to overthrow oppression, but
you do not know the awfulness of the
condition in which these people really
are. Why, to murmur aloud is to be
shot for treason"
My blood was up. I was raging
within me.
"By thunder, Avery, I'll have that
fend in hot water before I've been
here twenty years."
"Be cautious! Be cautious! There
is much to be hoped for from yonr
American energy, but you must be
careful"
$50 I will," I said. Careful to
send Hen-Ko-Hi to meet Cha Fong.''

How a Frog Hibernates.

According to Simon Henry Sage,
the frog does not hibernate in leaves
or the trunks of trees, but in a dry
hole in the ground not likely to freeze.
He scratches the hole with his hind
feet, and enters backward. Once in
side, there is apparently no trace CT
the fact outside. Frogs found under
frozen leaves are still able to move
about. Mr.. Sage has found hibernat-
ing frogs with their extremities and
skin frozen, but their vital organs
were still intact, and they recovered
their activity on being liberated

The Rev. H. G. Hazen, writing for the

Board to the American Bible Society, New
York, says:
India Is now In transition state. The
people are searching the Scriptures to see II
the things they hear are so. Atthe same time
inldelity from the West is pouring in like
a lood pom the youth. It is all impor-
tant. therefore, that the Bible should be in
the hands OF the people, and should be OIL
fered so cheaply TINT they will not hesitate
to buy. >.
"I am greatly astorished at the readi-
ness OF tue people to receive. the scrip
lures. The Mohammednns no longer hate
tue Bible, but buy it without hesitation. In
one Mohammedan village they bought the
whole stock and wanted more. The Hindu
boys in our schools readily buy the Scrip
lures and recite whole chapters to US.
Every time we cell Il Bible or portion, to u
Hindu feel like shouting "Victory!' for
know that this silent voice is going to tell
sooner or later in precious results"
