The lecture by Miss Chittenden Fri
day evening at the Congregational
church, on China and the Chinese was
very interesting coming from one who
had been TO that country as mission
airy and. had an opportunity Of studying
the people and their customs. She ex-
hlbited large number of curiosities

native costumes.

Dr. Potts, editor of the Michigan
Christian Advocate, and one of the
best Methodist preachers in the state

to his inability to hear, but at the TINA
OF the dedication of the great First

ginning his evening sermon, he is re.

alluded to his deprivation in these pa

Free rural mail delivery is proving
so successful and so satisfactory that il
is only question Of time when farm
ers will have daily mail delivered
at their doors, and be able to
send mail 10 the Office daily. The first
Assistant Postmaster general states
that In many districts increased postal
receipts paid the extra expense neces-
ssry to maintain a route. He also
states that rural mail delivery has
caused an advance of from 81 to SO per
acre in the value Of farm property ly-
ing in the district thus reached. The
average per capita cost OF rural mail
delivery is "a cents as against $3.50 per
capita in small towns OF 5000 popula-
lation.

There are people in every town, in
GLIDING our own, who would be great
ly benefited if they practiced the
advice set forth in the following arti-
Gle which we clipped from an exchanges:
If you want your town TO be lively you
must make it SO. Do not go to sleep
but get up and work for it. Talk
about your village and talk iavorably.
Receive your new conner with welcome.
If you have property, improve it. Paint
up your house, clean up your yards,
make your surroundings more pleasant
and you will feel better and your
property will be worth more in the
market Public Improvement is an
investment that pays. There is no
time to be lost. II you have no faith
in the town where you live, sell out
and go elsewhere, and give room
to a better man. If you stay, it is your
duty, and should be your pleasure, to
do every thing in your Power to assist
in its upbuilding. If any man in bust
ness is hoggish and wants it all, let
some one else start in the same line and
competition will soon bring prices to a
reasonable bases. So with public en-
terprise. Give your aid and counte.
nance to all such, remembering that
public spirit and enterprise always pay
big interest on investment in the
bringing in Of energy and means.

Notwithstanding the fact that there

since the consummation or peace. The
