general health is invigorated and all dis6guring

Bad blood tells in many other ways. Itch

and carbuncles show the presence of some irrita-

Chinese Armv Rolls.

Now that China has Russia for
near neighbor, it remains to be seen
how successfully or otherwise the
Middle Kingdom will continue to prac-
tice it's favorite game of bluff. How
it has reinforced it's army is shown by
the Swedish explorer, Hedin.
The Chinese have a most extraordi-
nary way of umerating their troops.
They are not content with counting
the soldiers only. but reckon in also
their horses, rifles, shoes. breeches.
and so forth, SO that the resultant to-
tai is long way above what it ought
to be.
They apparently go On the supposi-
tion that the rifle is at least as valu-
able as the man, and by an analogous
train of reasoning they argue that a
man is of little use if he has to travel
on foot. that he cannot go about naked
and so on. Hence they count the
whole kit, horse, rifle, breeches, and
all.
BY this peculiar process of arith-
metic they fancy they deceive the
Russians into believing their garri-
sons much stronger than they are.

THOUGHT COAT SURELY LOST.
Small Boys Natural Alarm at the
'4 TaAchora' Information,

Small Boys Natural Alarm at the
Tsachsrs' Information.
A well-known Reading, Pa, mer-
ly visits to farm which he had pur-
chased. To those living along the
route he was wont to drive he was at
first the object of much speculation.
but in due time the cause of his fire.
quentS visits became known, as did
also the fact that he was man Of
considerable influence and wealth.
AS he was driving along one Sunday
morning last summer he saw plodding
ahead of him a small boy of the coun-
try thereabout, carefully carrying on
his arm coat. which, on account of
the heat, he had removed; and, acting
on charitable impulse invited the
thoroughly abashed lad to ride as far
as the Sunday school, having
CLEANED that to be his destination.
They were soon there, but the boy. in
his perturbed state, did not realize
until he had taken his place in his
class that he had left his coat in the
carriage.
The well-known parable of Lazarus
and the rich man having been as
signed as the lesson for that day. the
teacher, addressing the newcomer, in
quired: What became of the rich
MANI"
''He drove on down the road to his
farm" promptly answered the youth,
still thinking of the coat.
For his misdeeds," affirmed the
teacher, ignoring the answer, "he went
to an awful place of torment, from
which he can never return.
Holy Moses" broke in the youth.
Hes got my coat with him.

The Maiden's Soma.

Laugh out. O stream! from your bed OF
green.
When you lie in the suns embrace;
And talk to the reeds that Ger you
lean
To touch your dimpled face.
But let your talk be as sweet as it will,
And your laughter be as gay.
You can not laugh as j laugh in my
breast
For my lover will come to-day
Sing. sweet little bird! sing out to your
mate
That hides in the leafy grove:
Sing clear, and tell him for him you
wait.
And tell him of all your love.
But though you sing till you shake tho
buds
And the tender leaves of May,
My spirit thrills with a sweeter song
For my lover must come to-day.
Come up, o winds! come up from tho
South
With eager. hurrying feet,
And kiss your red rose on her mouth
In the bower where she bushes sweet.
But you can not kiss your darling flower,
Though you clasp her as you may,
And / kiss in my thought the lover dear
l shall hold in my arms to-day.
-PhOOe Cary.

CHANCES of the Earth,

How does one generation of men
succeed another? The fathers are not
swept away in a body to make room
for the children, but one by one the
old drop off and the young come on.
till day is reached when none OF
those remain that once were here.
How does some form of human speech
become extinct? About hundred
years ago an old lady named Dolly
Dentreath died in Cornwall. She could
speak the Cornish language; after her
death there was nobody that could.
Thus quietly did the living Cornish
language become dead language;
and in like unobtrusive manner have
been wrought most of the new becom-
ings which have changed and are
changing the earth.-Harper's.

The Transit of Mars.

When EIoise looks up the street.
Puts down her worli-startS-fiushes
And turns away that face so sweet
Lest should note her bushes,
l wish that l were young again.
But soon she's btitheiy humming,
Forgetting me and all-and then
/ know the Captains coming.
When EloiSc with downcast eyes
Once more bends DER her stitching
And looks. as her bright needle flies
Of may be) more bewitching,
You'd say she wastes no thought on men
But oh. her cheeks are giassing
1he red gerani,im ncar!-and then
l know the Captains passing.
When Eloisc looks down the street
With eyes wide-set and wistfu!.
Her checks as pale as any sheet.
Her dear mouth drawn and tristful
wish that | We're young again.
For as | lift her sewing
She signs, o such slgh.-and then
! know the Captains going.

TIME TABLES AS BIOGRAPHIES
New York School Teacher Makes a
Valuable Discovery.

81 never realized the value of time
tables until l got hold of a class of
boys old enough to take an interest
in geography said New York pub
lie school teacher. $50 far as the
study Of maps goes, I can get better
results from the use CT time tables
than from all the biographies in the
market. Maps that have been pre-
pared for the purpose of cultivating
the youthful mind in the matter of To-
cality are stunned as bugbears by all
except the studious few. But just set
dozen boys around pile of time
tables and tell them to locate certain
cities, lakes and rivers, and they will
work like beavers, and come out let
ter-perfect every time. For most chill
dren time tables and accompanying
maps are source of unfailing inter
est both in and out of school hours.
1t is true that this unorthodoX method
may give the boys exaggerated ideas
as to the importance OF certain rail-
roads, but they seem tn get enough
good out OF the investigation to coun-
teract such impressions"
