A Phillips brooks story.

The spirit of love and kindness to
all which pervaded every word and
deed Of Phillips Brooks did not hinder
his keen appreciation Of others fall
ings and shortcomings or his own.
"Why in the world doesn't Brown
write his autobiography and have 1t
published| said one Of the bishops
friends, referring to an incessant talker
and most egotIstlcal man who had been
wasting an hour Of the bishops most
precious time by n rehearsal Of some
unimportant happenings.
"Why, he'd rather tell it, of course"
said the bishop, and then like n fash
came regret for the quickly spoken
truth. and he turned on his friend with
a half humorous, half distressed face.
"What do you mean by asking me
such question as that when I'm of
my guard?' he demanded reproach-

MASTERING CHINESE.
One of the Most Difficult of Ian
Eungcs to Learn.


Eungcs to Learn.
1t is well known that the Chinese
language is one of the most difficult to
master, and for us to attempt this task
after we have finished our school years
is excessively trying and difficult. Ger
tainly the mistakes one hears Of as be-
ing made by those who begin to talk
and, worse still, preach in language
they fondly imagine they haze mas
tered are Iudicrous In the extreme.
| heard Of n clergyman who was
preaching to a Chinese congregation in
the vernacuar. Come to God, oh, my
friends; come to Godw he cried Tor
thought he did and was considerably
surprised to find some Of the congrega-
ton with broad grlns on their faces,
while others were frowning blackly.
Great was the good mans consterna-
ton when he found he had been say
ing, call the pigs, oh, my friends; call
the pigsw His mistake, believe, was
due entirely to putting the accent on
the wrong syllable, which altered the
whole sense of the words.
The Chinese seem to regard n for
eigner speaking Chinese like DR.. John
son regarded women preaching. ut is
like dog standing on his hind legs"
said the learned doctor. you are not
struck with admiration at how well he
does it, but you are surprised he can
do 1t at all."-Leslie's Weekly.

Mistake

It is a well-known fact that Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has cured more women than any other
remedy. 1t therefore must be the
best possible medicine for female ills.
But some women make the mistake
of thinking that they will try some
thing else, simply because it is new.
That mistake is often a fatal one
fatal to the health and happiness Of
the eXperimenter.
Is it not foolish to risk the possible
results of such experiments? Is it not
better to depend upon medicine
which has been tried successfully for
thirty years, and which has never
been found wanting? Do not therefore
let any one persuade you to try some
thing which they say is just as good.
1t cannot be just as good. Mrs. Pink
hams Compound is the best, and there
can be only one best. This is not a
mere assertion, but is positive fact,
admitted by hundreds of regular
physicians.
Rely on your own common sense,
and Mrs. Pinkham's lifelong expert
ence, and YOU will make no mistake.
Don't experiment with your health,
but take medicine that you kE07y is
good, and is backed by such letters as
these to Mrs. Pinkham:

"settinr the River on Fire"

In old English times, when each fam
fly was obliged to sift its own -four, It
sometimes happened that an energetic
man would turn his sieve so rapidly Gs
20 cause it to catch fire. The style OF
sieve used in those days was called a
TENSE" and it became a customary
saying that lazy man would never set
the tense on fire. Now, it happens
that the name of the river Thames Is
pronounced like the name Of this old
flour sieve, and after many years, when
the old fashioned tense was forgotten,
It was thought that setting the tense
on fire meant setting the river on fire,
md that is why today we say that q
stupid person will never set the river
on fre.-Ladies' Home Journal.
