How He Found His Calling,

Large numbers of persons are as
unconscious of their strong points rs
they are of their weak ones. A man
or woman may be born with a strong
talent or genius for some special line
and yet be utterly unconscious of 1t.
A. T. Stewart was educated for the
ministry, and an idea which an old
uncle had instilled into his mind, that
call is necessary to success in life,
chung to him so tenaciously that he be-
came almost discouraged because he
could not hear his call. He tried
school teaching, but was not satisfied
and might never have found his real
calling had he not loaned to a friend
who was anxious to start in business
the sum of seventy dollars, the accu-
mutation of his savings. The young
business man did not succeed in his
venture, and not having the money to
pay Stewart the loan which he had
so kindly advanced he begged him to
take, in it's stead. the little shop, the
only means of payment in his posses
sion. Stewart took the unpretentiOus
store and became a merchant prince.

According to a resident Of China
town the statesmen of the flowery
kingdom are now considering the ad-
visibility OF altering the Chinese law
which requires Mongolians to wear
cues. says the Portland Telegram The
local informant is authority for the
statement that the Chinese wore their
hair American fashion some 800 years
ago, at which time they likewise wore
garments similar to those in use in
this country today. With a new en-
peror came an alteration in the two
fashions and ever since cues and
blouSes have been quite the proper
thing. Now there it great agitation
for a change back to the old style.
The Chinese are of n practical turn of
mind and insist that too much time is
required to dress their long braids.
There is considerable objection to the
style now in vogue, and so persistent
for a change has become the demand
that it is likely the law establishing the
style of head dress Will be altered. 1t
is stated that the Chinese will not
wear their hair long, but that their
heads will be kept shaven. Only in
definite rumors of the proposed change
have been received from the old coun-
try, but local Chinese express the be-
lief that the present unpopular style
will be abolished.

FOR THE YOUNG MOTHER.
Unnecessary Attentions Make Young Chill

Unnecessary Attentions Make Young Chill
dren the Tyrants of Household.
writer in the Nursery makes a
plea for the young mother who too Of
ten is neglected and even ill-treated
while the baby absorbs all the atten-
ton of the nurse and relatives. To be
clean, TO be warm, to be fed when nee
essary, to be let alone-this would be
the beau ideal of the baby, only the
baby cannot have a beau ideal for tn
first few days of its existence. at any
rate It can hardly see or hear much
less speculate about its surroundings.
But the mother; ali, the young moth
er; hers is the keenness of perception,
the nervous tension, the capacity for
silent suffering that nc other kind Of
sickbed affords. Let her have a
glimpse Of her husband or her mother,
if she be so happy as to have one,
and then rest-a long rest. Too often
the jealousy and the ill-cOncealed NAL
ice Of those about her is already mani
fest. Never is the bOttOmless capacity
for cruelty in some hearts
better shown than in the
senseless attentions of meddle-
some relatives to the baby, coupled
with covert cruelty to the young
mother, weighed down with the help
lessness of new and untried RESPONSE
bilities. If the baby cries the mother
is at fault; if every bit of useless
trumpery is not at hand the mother
must be awakened, and SO on ad infini-
tum. Happily this is not always the
case, but we see it too often; too often
is the dark side of nature exposed at
this time The baby needs care from
those who are best able to give it, but
it is the mother who needs rest and
sympathy. One hardly knows which
she needs most. She is the true mar
tyr here. Let the curtains be drawn
and let the house be still. Between
the hours of pain which are past and
the untried responsibilities which are
to come, let her have such surcease of
care as we can give her. The constant
handling and the unnecessary atten-
tons received by young infants and,
indeed, by older children result too
often in making the child the tyrant
of the household, and in doubling the
mothers labor.

INDIAN MISSIONARIES STORY.
Years of ToiIsome Ministry Among the
ChoctawS.

Years of Toilsome Ministry Among the
ChoctawS.
Little York. Ind, April 1.-(SpeciaD.
Twenty years ago the Rev. c.
H. Thompson left Indiana. For a
time he preached in Arkansas, after
wards entering on the regular mission
airy work among the Choctaw Indians.
For five years he lived and labored
among the full bloods of the western
prairies. until on April 5th, 1885. hav-
ing lost his wife, he left the circuit
on which he had preached so long, and
commenced travelling missionary
work among the Indians of the various
tribes scattered in the west.
This irregular work involved great
deal of travel over the prairies. The
drinking of so much alkali water,
brought on kidney troubles which
terminated in Diabetes.
Finally, while laboring among the
Territory, this noble man was strick-
en- down completely. A Chicago spe-
cialist was summoned, and after a
careful examination declared that there
was not the slightest chance of his re-
covery. Besides the prescriptions Of
the doctors he tried many other medi-
cines, but all to no avail. He says

suit? You have been drinking his
tears. Do you want to drink his blood?
They come up closely, SO that notwith-
standing the darkness they can glut
their revenge with the contortions Of
his countenance. They examine his
feet. They want to feel for themselves
whether those feet are really spiked.
They put out their hands and touch the
spikes and bring them back wet with
blood and wipe them on their gar
ments. Women stand there and weep,
but can do no good. 1t is no place for
the tender hearted women. 1t wants a
heart that crime has turned into gran
tie. The waves Of mans hatred and
Of hell's vengeance dash up against

DEATHS VISITS IN SLEEP.
Apoplexy Frequently Attacks It's Wi.
Tins WhiIe They SIumher

Apoplexy Frequently Attacks Its Vic.
Tins While They Slumber.
The frequent occurrence of apopiexy
during sleep was illustrated in the case
of Colonel Albert d. Shaw. He had
made a patriotic speech during the
evening and had retired in apparently
good health In his instance there was
a combination of causes to bring about
the result-a banquet, mental excite
ment, probable indigestion and a CO.
incident lowering of vital tone. In
some respects the circumstances were
similar to those attending the demise
of Henry George, who was likewise
stricken after forced efforts on the
platform. Why the accident in Ques-
ton should occur at time when all
rest is at first thought somewhat diff
ficult to explain. When, however, the
arteries of the brain become brittle by
age the slightest change of blood pres
sure is often enough to precipitate a
rupture of those vessels and cause the
escape of eliot either upon the sur
face or into the substance of the brain.
High mental tension, being always as
sociated with congestion, is in itself
an active predisposing cause of apo
plexy. This condition is apt to con-
tinue during a more or less troubled
sleep, and with an overtired nervous
system there is less resistance to over
stretching of the cerebral arteries than
during the waking hours. Nature, in
stead of rebounding, simply succumbs.
The fullness Of the vessels increases
until the final break occurs. Generally
the effusion of blood is sufficiently
large to be followed by instantaneous
death, causing one sleep to pass quiet
ly into the other. AS evidence of this
peaceful ending, it is often noticed
that the patients are found as IL In
