Have No Limitations.

Make up your mind that the Creator
made you to enjoy life and to have all
the good things in this world neces-
sary to your well being and moral
and spiritual growth. Think large
things for yourself, for the all power
full ruler did not set for you the mar
row limit which you have In mind.
Limitation In thought will certainly
produce limitation In possession. IL
you are convinced that you will never
have much, that you are poor and will
remain so, the chances are ten to one
that you will.
How can you expect TO expand your
life, TO enlarge your possessions, to
widen your sphere, while you think
and talk limitation? Enlarge your hort,
zon; be generous to yourself In thought
and ambition. The creator never made
people TO limp along the starvation
line; there are enough resources In the
world to make everybody well, happy
and contented. The great trouble with
us is that we circumscrihe ourselves by
thinking within narrow limits. "As O
man thinketh in his heart. so Is he."-

THE INNS OF CHINA.

Chinese inns are without register, or,

the wilderness of carts and mules. Pro

to what rooms are eligible. and then a
door is pushed open and the traveller js
shown to his apartment 1t is usually
about twelve feet square. The walls
and floor are of hard mud, and SO are
the beds, which extend entirely across
the side of the room, with only space
enough between them for small table
and one chair. The room is lighted BY
| one window, in which paper takes the
place of glass.
The first duty of the proprietor in
making patron comfortable is to stop
up the holes in the paper window pane.
He never tears the paper off entirely
and replaces 1T with new one, be-
cause the sheet OF paper Is worth
about one-tenth of cent, and the Inn
keeper is not wasteful. Indeed he
pastes little slips OF paper over the
holes until all the light. that filters
through 1t Is of a notified hue.
At one end Of the mule shed is the
kitchen OF the inn. It is here. that the
meals for all the patrons are prepared
to be eaten in the rooms :. The menu is
not elaborate. 1t consists only Bowls
of rice and tea. Should the traveller. de!
