The yard measure is new and semi
useful nursery accessory. or course,

and feet plainly marked on one side
and pretty pictures and verses painted
on the other side.

Tho Power of Little Things

It is the little things that count In
life. In the household, in the daily ex-
penditures Of life and in the necessary
buying for personal belongings, which
is every woman's lotS the large sum
outlayed for an article OF size does not
eat into the hoard half SO much as the
dome and one tiny articles which must
be had. and which seem so little and
insignificant by themselves that they
are thought unworthy to be counted,
but which end by making the entire
sum laid out for the "sundries" van
ish, and not infrequently take a good
sized slice out of some other division.
In the same way the little things" are

the very marks of that refinement
which is desired by every woman as a
characteristic. The gown may be ele-

details, a well-fitting shoe, neat

these things tell the invariable tale of
delicate taste and knowledge OF the
effect of dress which is the essence OF
style.

Rev. G. d. TENNEY, and wife have
beca missionaries in China, for eighteen
years, he being Professor in the Uni
versity of Tien Tsin. They were in
Tien Tsin during the recent battle, but
escaped without injury. His wife has
returned to this country. Mr.. Tenuy
accompanies the allied army to Peking
as interpreter. The allied army will have
to depend, for its valuable news and
information upon the Christian mission
aries and native Christians; and they
will thus put to shame those in our own
country who have been falsely deriding
them as having caused the war, and
foolishly clamoring against their re-
turn to China, after the war. There
have been no truer friends of our Gov
ernment, no more patriotic citizens,
than the American missionaries; and
if all foreigners had gone into China
with the the unselfish purpose, and the
kindly spirit that the American mis-
sionaries have, there would be no war
with China.

CAUSES TROUBLE.
Failure of Congress to Provide for
Cost of Gordon Gas Check Proves
Expensive Oversight.

There is an interesting story con-
nected with the adoption of the Gordon
gas check, device, used extensively in
the army and navy asa part Of the
equipment Of great guns. A year ago
the army had the opportunity to buy
the right to use the device for $40, goo.
The navy had already adopted it and
arranged the compensation of the own
.ers, but congress failed to make the
necessary appropriations The armyis
now concerned with q suit for damages
for utilizing a device to which it has
no right, and the owners Of the gas
check insist they shall be properly re-
imbursed for the unaut horned use of
their invention. It has now become
necessary to appropriate double the
original amount named in order to pro-
tect the government against claims for
infringement. The gas check is now
used throughout the army and navy,
and the amount which is to be appropri-
ated this year in the ratification bill
is only small sum, which would be re-
qniredd i, congress refused to meet the
present demand of the owners of the
device.
