PRESBYTERIAN. in Manila.

The First Presbyterian church OF
Manila has been organized. The pas
tor is the Rev. James B. Rodgers. No
church building has yet been erected,
but instructions have been sent to pur-
chase property. Meetings are held in
the Central Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION tent, and the church is large
ly maintained by house to house visi-
tation. That something is being ac-
complished is proven by the fact that
nine Filipinos have been baptized and
received into membership as Presby-
terians. There is a start, and that
among natives. Presbyterians care
watching the question of land owner
ship in Manila, and are gratified not
little by the telegraphed statements
made by Bishop Potter of New York,
who is now at Manila concerning friar
ownership. They now consider the
bishop. who has been most pro-
nounced anti-imperialist, one OF their
allies in the land ownership contro-
versy that is coming, unless the United
States government takes up the mat
fer investigates the titles OF the friars
most thoroughly, and finds them hon.
estly possessed of the property.

THE FIRST BABY.
It's Coming is Looked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and it's
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All. .

The arrival of the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most i'm
portant event of married life. The young
wife who is to become mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
wheE the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, mother"
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. understandable fear of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands of women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use of Mothers Friends scien-

the trying hour, expectant mothers can
SO prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering of the

it is safely passed through with COM

such remedy; for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing of the dam

The recent decision of the Supreme

The recent decision of the Supreme
court of Massachusetts in the case of
the Attorney General VS.. Henry Bige-
low Williams holds that the law limit
ing the height of buildings around
Copley Square, Boston, to ninety feet
is constitutional. The court said: 1--WE
hold that the statute gives rights in
the nature of an easement over lands
facing Copley Square, which easement
is annexed to the square for the benefit
of the public, for whose use and enjoy
ment Copley Square was laid out; and
that these rights are similar in their
nature to rights in highways, in great
ponds, and in navigable waters of the
commonwealth" The broad view
which the court took IS indi-
Gated by the following expression,
appearing in the opinion: The
grounds of Copley Square are to be
enjoyed by the people who use them
they are expected to minister not only
to the grosser senses, but also 10 the
love of the beautiful in nature, in the
varied forms which the change in sea-

Enyiableness of the Toiler.

1t is difficult matter to estimate
fairly other peoples conditions by our
own impressions as onlookers. AS
Robert Louis Stevenson reminds us,
pain itself is often harder to see than
to bear. 1t often suggests more doubt
of Gods benevolence when we witness
it in others than when it comes to our
selves. So the life of physical toll is
often judged intoerable by those who
neither work at all, or with their
brains only. But to the toiler hard
work always has its compensation. It's
results give a sense of something really
accomplished, which those who toll
not may envy. When done under
wholesome conditions, it purchases APP
petite for food and for sleep such as
the idle cannot know. And it COM
monty has personal reference which
enlists the affections to activity. Men
and women toll for those they love,
that these may be housed, fed, clothed
and educated, and every stroke of the
days labor bears on the welfare of the
home circle. The man with the hoe is
not the most to be pitied. Let us pity,
rather, the man without hoe or home
or hearts. S. Times.

Three Lessons.

There are three lessons would write,
Three words, as with burning pen,
In teachings of eternal light
Upon the hearts of men.
Have Hope-though clouds environ
round
And Gladness hides her face in
scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow,
No night but has it's morn.
Have Faith-where'e thy bark is
driven,
The Gains disport, the tempest's
mirth,
Know this-God rules the hosts OF
heaven
And the inhabitants of earth.
Have Love-not love alone for one,
But man as man thy brother call,
And scatter like the circling sun
Thy benefits on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul
Hope Faith, and Love-and thou
shalt find
Strength where lifes surges rudeat
roll,
Light where thou else vert blind

The Right Kind of Wife.


Many persons unable to read that
most interesting book, The Romance
OF Isabel, Lady Burton" may like to
see the rules she wrote upon her mar
riage IN her diary for her own guild
ance in the new relation-rules to
whose observance she believed much
of her subsequent happiness was due:
First-Let your husband find in you
companion. friend and adviser and
confidante, that he may miss nothing
at home. Second-Be a careful nurse
when he is ailing, that he may never
be in low spirits about his health with
out serious cause. Third-Make his
home snug. If it be ever so small
chic about it. Men are always asham-
ed of poverty-stricken home, and,
therefore, prefer the club. Attend
much to his creature comforts; allow
smoking or anything else. for if you
e. not somebody else will. Make it
yourself cheerful and attractive, and
draw relations and intimates about
him, and the style of society QiteratD
that suits him. Fourth-Improye and
educate yourself in every way, that
you may enter into his pursuits and
keep pace with the times. tifth-Be
prepared at any moment to follow him
at an hours notice and rough it like a
man. Sixth-Do not try to hide your
affections from him, but let him see
and feel it in every action. Never re-
fuse him anything he asks. Observe
a certain amount of reserve and deli
cacy before him. Keep up the honey
moon romance, whether at home or
in the desert. At the same time do
not make prudish bothers, which only
disgust, and are not tr, modesty. Do
not make the mistake of neglecting
your personal appearance, but try to
look and dress well to please his eye.
Seventh-Perpetually work up his in
terest with the world, whether for pub
fishing or for appointments. Let him
feel when he has to go away that he
leaves a second self in charge Of his
affairs at home, so that if sometimes
he is obliged to leave you behind he
may have nothing of anxiety on his
mind. Take an interest in everything
that interests him. To be companion
able a woman must learn what inter-
ests her husband, and, if it is only
planting turnips, she must try to I'M

But not alone in the silken snare
Did she catch her lovely floating hair,
For tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young mans heart within.
They were strolling together up the hill,
Where the wind comes blowing merry
and chill;
And it blew the curls, frolicsome race,
All over the happy, peach-colored face,
I'll, scolding and laughing, she tied them
in
Under her beautiful dimpled chin.
And it blew color, bright as the bloom
or the pinkest fuchsia's tossing plume,
All over the cheeks of the prettiest girl
That ever imprisoned a romping curl,
Or tying her bonnet under her chin,
Tied young mans heart within.

Madder, merrier chillier still

The widest tricks with the little maid,
As, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young mans heart within.
