A SLUMBER SONG.

Sleep, my beloved. To sleep and dream
is best.
The night to US is peace, the day un-
rest,
For day, while parted, brings to us but
pain;
In dreams we live the dear past DER
again.
We weep not in our sleep;
The tears are for the day,
Which smiles, while but weep,
For thou art far away.
flushed be the voices of the garish day,
Its frets and cares and sorrows swept
away;
Forgotten quite the interval Of years
Since last we met, with all their bitter
tears.
Sleep, love. To dream is best.
Our waking is but pain;
In sleep alone we rest
And live the past again.
Sleep, my dear love, and be thy dreams
of me!
Waking or sleeping, ! still think Of
thee,
But dreams make present time Of the
past;
The night restores thee-would my
dreams might last!
Dream, dear, till the day breaks
And earthly shadows fee,
Where morn to grief ne'er wakes
And l be one with thee.

RAG-TIME.

A measure that set you to dancing
The Tilt Of gay little song.
The accent of merry waves glancing
In the sun as they frolic along
That's rag-time.
The sound OF the crispiest staccato
The chirp of the ilightiest bird.
The guild of a rich obligato
BY the pulsing of happiness stirred
That's rag-time.
The music of youth and endeavor,
No tagging, no dropping the pace;
The glad heart that keeps on forever,
And lights up the loneliest place
Thata yag-time.

STOLE A oHINAMAN.
English Churchman Was the Guilty
Man, but Had Good Excuse.

While the present bishop of Man
chester, England, was bishop of Mel
bourne, Australia, he stole a China
man, but as his offense is now ont
lawed by the statute of limitations he
tells OF the occurrence with a good deal
of glee. 1t seems that the Presbyterians
of Melbourne discovered a promising
Monaghan named Check Hong Cheong.
trained him in their theological hall,
helped him to the degree of B. A at
the Melbourne university and made
him an elder of the kirk. But one
evening Mr.. Cheong happened to speak
at missionary meeting, with Bishop
Moorhouse in the chair, and he spoke
with such remarkable ability that the
chairman was deeply impressed. Short
ly afterward it was announced that
Mr.. Cheong had been appointed super
sions to the Chinese in the diocese in
the Presbyterian camp and sharp prac-
tice was suggested, but Mr.. Cheong
passed from the Presbyterian to the
Anglican fold with oriental serenity.
Mr.. Cheong still holds the Office to
which Bishop Moorehouse appointed
MIN, and he has just delivered a lee
ture on The Reconstructive Forces of
China" He admitted there was some
thing apparently anomalous in this
title as the destructive forces seemed
to be most in evide ce at present.
Nevertheless. he was confident that
amid these adver circumstances
the remarkable vitality
vhich had characterized her through
the ages. Her people were found all
over the east, and in the vast regions
of farther India and the Malay archi-
pelago the bulk of the trade and COM
merce was in their hands. There was
abundant evidence that the Chinese
people had lost none of their tradi-
tional intelligence, energy, industry
and enterprise. The lecturer summed
up the three great reconstructive
forces of China in the words Christian
missions, Christian healing and Chris
ton literature. Mr.. Cheong speaks
English wonderfully well, but with
pronounced Scottish accent.

All. long through the night and day,
Where the road winds down to the

And the river runs cold and gray,

The river runs colo and gray.
What brought YOU over the stream,

Over the bridge and the stream?

And only the clouds are nigh, darling,
Only the clouds are nigh.
All, God. that this hour could last

For ever and ever last;
With your lips so near, for the seeking,

And our two hearts beating fast.

May God be as good to me.

How Woman Was Made.

| According to a Hindoo legend, this
is the proper origin of woman: Twash-
tri, the god Vulcan of the Hindoo
mythology, created the world. But on
| his commencing to create woman he
discovered that with man he had ex-
hausted all his creative materials, and
that not one solid element had been
left. This, of course, greatly perplexed
Twashtri. and caused him to fall in
profound meditation. When he arose
from it he proceeded as follows; He
took
The roundness of the moon,
The undulating curves of the serpent,
The graceful twist of the creeping
plant.
The light shivering of the grass blade
and the slenderness OF the willow
The velvety softness of the flowers,
The lightness of the feather,
The gentle gaze of the doe,
The frolicsomeness of the dancing
sunbeam.
The tears of the cloud,
The Inconsistency of the wind,
The timidness of the hare,
The vanity OF the peacock,
The hardness of the diamond,
The sweetness OF honey,
The cruelty of the tiger,
The heart of the fire,
The chill of snow,
The cackling OF the parrot,
The cooling OF the turtle dove,
All these he mixed together and
formed woman.
Then he presented her to man.

TO ACQUIRE A GOOD VOCABULARY
Read Good Books and Listen While
Well Educated People Talk.

"A good vocabulary is acquired by
reading good books as we'll as by hear
ing the talk Of those who express
themselves in the speech of educated
people," writes Margaret e. Sangster,
in the Ladies' Home Journal. Thought
lies back of speech, and the more sub
jects iIterets us the more command of
language we shall have in which we
describe them. They who read scienti-
fic books will grasp scientific terms.
They who discriminate nicely and use
the very best word to say what they
have in their minds will consult die
tionary and see what are the similari-
ties or the contrasts of certain words;
Will choose, as among gems the flaw
less ruby or crystal; will not be salts
fled except with the exact word which
can express precisely the meaning they
wish to convey. The reading of good
authors lifts our vocabulary from
meanness and meagerness to nobility
and splendor, enriches our speech with
words which are like beautiful en-
broidery on the garment of daily life
and furnishes us with illusions, quo
tations and phrases which are plctue-
esque, opposite or convenient for

MRSSAGE FROM CONGER
Dispatch Dated Aug, 30 Received In
Washington.
CONTENTS NOT MADE PUBLIC
So Far Less Than n Majority of the
Interested Powers Have Re-
sponded to the Russian
Proposal.

Washington, Sept. Administer Conger
has been heard from again, his last adj
vice being dated at Peking on Aug. 30.
Preceding dispatches have occupied
week in their transmission from Peking,
according to the estimate Of the state de-
partment, so that Mr.. Conger's message
marks distinct betterment of the means
of communication. Besides it includes
the date of Dispatch something the de-
partment has been trying to have done
for many weeks. The suppositon is
that this particular message came down
from peling to Tien-tsin by courier and
was put ON the wires either at that point
or nj Taku.
The state department decided to make
no statement as to the contents of the
message beyond the simple one that MIR.
Congcr's communication did not mark
any material change in the situation Ill
pekng.
1t appears that whatever responses are
to be made BY the powers to tie propo-
sition to evacuate Peking are expected
to be directed to the government of Rus
siu and not to our state department. The
Russian government undoubtedly will in
turn notify the United States government
ms well as all the other governments CON
ccrned as to the nature 81 the responses.
1t is stated that up to the present less
than a majority of the powers interested
in the Chinese question have responded
to the Russian proposal so far as our gov
ernment is advised, and our officials here
agree with the general tenor of the Eu-
ropean dispatches in the conclusion that
final action on the part of all the powers
may not be had for several days at least
All Depends on Russia.
Everything now depends on the action
of Russia the attitude of the other ma
tions being negative, and if she does not
hasten to carry out her announced pur-
pose to withdraw the troops the other
governments probably will be content,
cherishing the hope that in the mean
time some kind of Chinese government
can be re-established in Peking with
which the powers may negotiate for a
final settlement.
Ii Hung Chang's attempt to secure i'm
perial warrant for the institution of
peace negotiations, through himself and
the Chinese notables referred to in the
European dispatches is regarded here as
step in the right direction, while, on the
other hand, some disquiet has been caus.
ed by the report that the internatiOnals in
Peking have been arresting some of the
members of the tsung-l-yamen who were
seeking to open negotiations and re-es
tahlish the government. There is no dis
position here to condone the offenses OF
any of those Chinese officials who may
have participated in the outragcs in Pc
king, but it is questioned whether tn,
present is an opportune time to admin
lister punishment.

The American army is not only scattered

separated from the galrisons in Porto

which an army Of 100000 has envolvcd
in the minds of some timd souls who
profess to believe that it is fraught with
danger to the republic and the perpetu-

fail to alright the citizen who consid.
