England. Japan and America, we are

shown what they have to lose by Mus

therefore, as it is TO that of China. that
the further progress of the bear should
be checked. Herein lies the strength
of the Chinese position. It is because
these countries have interests within
her borders that China may rely on
! them for support. The only ground
upon which decisive political action
can be based in these days is interest.

Next in interest comes America, whose
traditional regard for Russia has till

the door remain open. Lastly, Great
Britain also, as holder of half the

WHEN ! WAS A BOY.
Some of the Experiences of the Period

Grandmother's Sunday lap was not

soft and gray, and there were no texts

"More'n tonguecantell What is a

And while she was telling you she
would be poking the tip of her finger
into the soft of your Jacket so that
you doubled up suddenly with yours
knees to your chin: and while you
guarded your ribs, a funny spider
would crawl down the back of your
neck; and when you chased the spid-
er out of your collar it would suddenly
creep under your chin, or there would
be a panic in your ribs again BY
that time you were nothing but wrig-
giles and giggles and little cries.

she would shake her head at you and
go back to her knitting again.
"Grandmother's tired" she would
say.
You were tired, too. so you lay with
your head on her shoulder, sucking
your thumb. To and fro Grandmother

Advice to Boys.

Be thorough in the performance of
every duty, says writer to boys in
Success. You will not take the world
by storm all at once. You must begin
at the bottom and work up. However
trivial and unimportant the duties may
be of the first positions to which you
are appointed, perform them with scru-
pulous care and accuracy. 1t is not
the character of the duties to which
you will be assigned that is of i'm
portance, but the method in which
you discharge them. Most distin-
guished men in our country who have
lifted themselves to wealth and prom
inence bear testimony to the fact that
the faithful performance of their work
in every position which they occupied
was the cause of their success. The
young man who gives absolute salts
faction to his employer as an Office boy
or junior clerk builds his own road
to prosperity.

Pure Air.

| wonder how many housekeepers
know that the air of their rooms in
winter is often laden with poisonous
vapors. Decaying vegetables in the
cellar, old flowers in stagnapt water,
somebody's neglected garbage, pail,
even a badly ventilated room-all of
these are responsible for unhappiness.
peevishness and sickness Rooms may
be warm and pure. The cold room is
not always the well-ventilated one.
Attention to the air we breathe is
quite as necessary as the food we eat.

What Shanghai Paper Says of the

Shanghai Mercury.-It is highly
satisfactory to all well wishers of
China to see signs of an approach to
healthier state of affairs In the en-
pire generally and in Pekin in partic-
ular. There are several reasons for this.
The viligance of the Yangtse viceroys
has never once slackened. If ever
statesmen deserved well of their coun.
try they are Liu Kunyih and Chang
Chitung. Not only did they stand
firm against the midsummer madness
of the Manchu leaders of the Boxer
outbreak, but they continued to hold in
check with firm hand all the turbulent
elements of the Yangtse valley. When
the outbreak was over and negotia-
tons began Ii was the Yangtse

from China. 1t is sign of healthy
return to vigor to find that China on
her side mas likewise something to de-
mand. She has so far plucked UP
courage as to remind Russia of vows
and protestations, and to require a
more rapid withdrawal from the Man
churian provinces than the Muscovite
deemed desirable.
She thinks that Russian bookkeep-

the indemnity asked for costs in con-

JUVENILE COLUMN.
MARIA AND HER FRIENDS.
BY Tibbie He'll Nisbet.

Her grandmother said of her that
She was born to walk the quarter
deck"
We mean the same thing. believe,
when we say She's a captain; and
there is no doubt about it she instinct
lively dominates.
She is in small degree leader in
her small circle of small friends; and
because incidents from the lives of
leading spirits make always interest
ing reading we thought to tell these
anecdotes OF Maria and her friends.
Her nanny took day off and went to
funeral. Maria needed nanny be-
cause she wished to play Pussy wants
corner" and there was nobody to
stand in one of the corners, so when
nanny did finally return Maria greet
ed her with,
Look here nanny, next time you
go to a funeral don't bury your mig
ger so deep and maybe You can get
back quicker."
Maria is learning to tell the time so
she looked earnestly at the clock and
said:
"Mudder, the short hand is between
l and 2, and the long hand is right
where you put the key when you lock
It,"
When her mother smiled she looked
injured and said very innocently and
seriously,
Now mudder, that's the blamed
truth"
Maria and her friends were leaning

over the baluster; her mother SAID ex-
citedly, Il know a little girl named
Mamie Spilman who fell over a place
like that and was broken in a dozen
pieces"
Maria's answer was. We'll. don't
you worry, now. because you see she
was named Spillman and we amt.
When told the story of Brer Rabbit
and the tar baby Maria said,
But nanny, the part don't under

Maria's mother is mourning, so re-
Gently when Maria's little cousin nom
Texas came to visit her and was tell

and Texas he said among other things,
This ground you see is red clay,

is black; now Maria when you come to
anything that's all black you'll know
that's Texas. Whereupon the little
girl said emphatically. 'I1l do no such
thing, for my mudder never wears any
thing else, and know she amt

The minister has been trying lately
to interest the children in missionary
work and Sunday morning when
Maria's father asked her why she did
not want to go to Sunday school she

Wells.

Wells and the smart girl are Just
about inseparable, and the very newest
way of wearing the veil is certainly
original enough to attract attention.
Either a veil of black thread lace or
one OF net with a lace edge is used.
the veil not only covers the face but
is draped in folds about the close-fitt-
ing hat. At the back 1t is fastened
with buckle or two large pms; but
instead of ending there it continues on,
falling below the waist-line "a a long

waving of branches makes them sus-
plcious that something strange is
going on in the world. A chipmunk
eats while sitting on his launches and
holds his food in his forepaws. He
drinks by tapping like dog. He is
very neat about his person, combing
out his fur and his long tail with paws
and teeth. He washes his face by lap
ping his forepaws and then rubbing
them both at the same time over mis-
face with such speed that the eye can
hardly follow his motions.

TALKING IN THEIR SLEEP.

"You think | am dead"
The apple tree said,
Because l have never leaf to show /;
Because | stoop,
And my branches droop,
And the dull, gray MOSES over me

But I'm alive in the trunk and shoot;
The buds of next May
fold away
But pity the withered grass at my
root"

The quick grass said,
Because l have parted with stem and
blade!
But under the ground
am safe and sound,
with the SHOWS thick blanket over me
laid
I'm still alive and ready to shoot
Should the spring of the year
Come dancing here
But pity flowers without branch or
root"
You think I'm dead
A soft voice said.
Because not a branch or root | own.

But close | hide

Patiently wait through the long win

You will see me again
I will laugh at you then,
Out of the eyes of hundred flowers. >

The DREAM ER.

To hear,-yet not to hear,
The clamor of the street,
The tramp of hurrying feet,
The idle laughing talk
Along the crowded walk:
To hear, yet not to hear
A dreamer,
Lost in the forest glade,
wandering through vernal shade
In GOODNESS of bowers deep.
Where sparkling waters leap
In ripping wavelets cool
Down to a crystal pool:
Where wild-birds take their bath
Hidden from woodland path,
And sweetly blithely sing
Beside the messy spring:
Here white violets hide
Along its fragrant side.
Here elves do run unseen
Among the tender green.
Opening the budding spray
Before the dreamer's way.
To see.--yet not to see,
The spread of houses tall.
The sun-dried grimy wall.
The waving. pulsing heat,
Bare pavement of the street;
To see,--yet not to see:--
A dreamer,
Lost on the sunny hills.
Wandering beside the rills,
Where shepherd near shady rock
Watches his fieecy flock.
Waiting silvan strains
Across the Towering plains.
Ger drowsy, hazy field
Where flaming lilies yield
Sweets to the rowing butterfly,
To golden bees passing by;
Here drowsy locusts sing
With palpitating wing,
Here aerial nymphs inspire
The zephyrs' trembling Tyre.
Signing through grassy spray
Along the Dreamer's way.
