OBITUARY.

Oar little darling. Lille May,
was born in IlaIdeman County,
Tenn October 8, 1895, and on the
II b day of December, 1908, the
death angel came and claimed her
as his own. Malarial fever aid alb
scess Of the brain was the cause of
her death. After twenty-five days
Of great suffering, in spite of all
that kind physicians, papa and
mama and many kind friends could
do, it pleased God to take her from
our home. She will forever be
missed She always had a word
far the old as well as the young and
was loved by all who knew her.
There was never anything too hard
for her little hands to try to do to
help US. While 1t is hard to give
her up, for it leaves a vacant chair
III our home, still We must submit
to the will of God. She was only
a bright little jewel, given us by
our heavenly father to brighten our
home for a short time. We know
she has gone to walk the golden
streets OF the New Jerusalem and
await the coming of papa, mama,
brothers and sisters.
We want to offer cur heartfelt
thanks for the kindness which was
extended TO US by our many friends
in our great trouble, aud we ask the
prayers of all christian people that
we may live in humble submission
to our Lord and Master and at last

beautiful Tee of holly, erected upon
the stage Of the Amusement Hall.
Illuminated with one hundred in
caudescent lights of red, white and
blue, contained a present for each

delight, at least, temporarily,
frightened their lives.

on seventy-6ve fine, fat turkeys,
and enjoyed many other good
things.

A Muscular Musicfau.

Theodore Thomas is extraordinary,
physically as well as mentally. Now in
his sixty ninth year, no one can detect
the difference in his visor, endurance
or bearing from that Of the Theodore
Thomas Of forty years ago. Physicians
have lately certified that, barring acci-
dents, there is no reason why twenty
years from now he should not be lead
ing orchestras with vitality and en-
thusiasm. His work as leader has pro-
duced odd physical developments. His
left hand, for instance, is q mass Of
muscles, wonderfully flexible as well as
powerful. The swinging of his arms
daily for hours at time has given him
the strength Of boxer. Not long ago
in country town all offictous police
man undertook to block his entrance
at the stage door Of the theater at
which he was to give concert. Mr..
Thomas courteously explained, then
mildly expostulated, but the policeman
gave no heed. The delay becoming irk-
some and the precious Thomas punctu-
ality being In danger, the maestro
made a sudden movement, lifted the
policeman In the air and with swing
Of those mighty arms tossed him into
a convenient pile Of scenery.-Every-
body's Magazine.

THE CHINESE BABY.
Elaborate Ceremonies That Take
Place After It's Birth.


On the evening Of the first day after
the baby has arrived the paterfamilias,
according to the Chinese custom. pros
trates himself before joss and, touch
ing his head to the foOr. voices thanks
to the gods and to the honorable an
cestOrs for the small son who was sent
perfect Of body and full Of health. On
the evening Of the second day the cere-
mony Is repeated, and on the third day
the voice Of the wife joins that OF the
husband in thanksgiving. Also on the
third day limited number Of relatives
and friends are called In to witness
the first head shave.
The looms Of the home are decorated
for this occasion with green branches
Of either fir, cedar or spruce, to insure
fueng-suey, or good luck, to the house.
Other Communications In honor OF the
baby are long silk threads, bearing lit
lie circles, squares and hearts OF gold
and scarlet paper. These are festooned
from the walls and are hung from the
ceiling. A few feet away the threads
are invisible and the gay scraps OF pa
per appear to be floating in the air.
For the head shaving the guests are
seated in semicircle before the Joss.
The mother is carried to a seat OF
honor to the right Of the joss, and the
baby, swathed in yards OF scarlet and
purple silk, is brought In on an elabo-
rate pillow. The eldest child or near
est relative carries green branch,
crossed with threads of scarlet paper,
and waves It slowly over the head OF
the baby. This wards Off evil infu-
ences and insures good health. After
quaint ceremony by the father be-
fore the joss the tiny forehead Of the
baby Is shaved by the mother and
christening similar to that OF the
Christian religion-except that the
prayer is made to the ancestors and
the water used to sprinkle the baby is
perfumed with sandalwood-is q part
of the ceremony.
The name by which the child h aft
erward known is also bestowed by the
mother. After the shaving Of the head
cap of scarlet silk, with decorations
of gold and jewels and with a tiny
round hole In the top, is placed upon
the baby's head, and the christening
is completed. In every Chinese family.
however poor, at least one banquet Is
given In honor Of the birth OF boy.
The banquet viands may be only rice
and a bit Of salt fish, and there may
be only half dozen or 80 present.
Nevertheless the feast is given, for it
is baby's right, and the rights of babies
are respected by oriental parents.-Les-

There is little doubt that the late
President Kruger had sound knowl-
edge of English, but this he always did
his best to conceal. An English mis-
sionary was given an interview with
the president as he was passing
through Pretoria some years ago. Dur
ing the interview DR.. Lsyds interpret
ed, and when outside the correspond
ent fixed his eyes as searchingly as
he could on Dr. Leyds, who had accom-
panied him, and asked, Does Presi-
dent Kruger really know no English ?"
With a meaning look DR.. Leyds re-
piled, "If you are pralsing him or

Calnage
Sermon
BY Rev.
Frank De Witt Talmaae. ID. d.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 2S.-At the
season when nature is displaying her
glories In greatest abundance the
preacher chooses as theme for his
sermon the beauty Of things audible
and visible and contrasts it with the
higher beauty which comes to those
whose lives are in harmony with the
Divine life. The text Is Ecclesiastes
Ill, II, He hath made everything
beautiful in his time"
The Solomonic writings are often
epigrammatic in style. Like priceless
Jewels cut and polished by the lapi-
diaries and collected in caskets, IRE
spective OF size or color, his verses as
verbal gems are clustered into chap
ters, with but little attempt at con-
secutive arrangement Indeed, King
Solomon for the most part seems to
me to be like a writer Of notebooks.
In the kings judgment hall or on the
street or out upon the hillsides under
the blue dome Of the sky when great
Thought is divinely inspired within his
brain, he jots that thought down In
memorandum. Then at the end OF the
day or the week or the month or the
year he collects these different
thoughts, irrespective Of their logical
sequence, into chapter or book
and has the court stenographer write
them out again IN full. In other words,
King Solomon's verses for the most
part are like freight cars that can be
sidetracked or uncoupled from one
car and attached to other cars. Each
verse stands out as Il distinct entity.
An average verse is as appropriate In
the sixth chapter Of Proverbs as In
the twentieth chapter. The verse is
the car. The chapter Is the freight
train. They are often as unconnected
as the definitions Of Webster's Die
tionary. They change their subjects
very often. They are like nuggets OF
gold sometimes found by the Austria
iian miners In the dust by the road
sides or in the river beds, entirely sep
arated from any gold veins. They are
like great round powders Of rock i'm
bedded in the sands. These bowlder
verses in glacial age have been car
ried by the ice from afar and have
found a resting place amid entirely dif-
ferent elements from those among
which they were created.
The modern critics tell us that King
Solomon did not write the book of Ec-
cleiastes; that its style and diction be-
long to later date 1t appears to me,
however, that its tone and its depress-
Ing refrain are characteristic OF man
who led such life Of ease and self In
dulgence as Solomon led, and that at
the end of it, satiated with pleasure
and study as he must have been, II
was precisely the kind Of book that
would come from his pen, and the con-
clusions uttered In that book just such
as would be likely to be reached by a
man who, having strayed from God,
was disappointed and dissatisfied with
his life. In the absence, therefore. OF
definite knowledge 1 shall assume that
the first verse Of the book indicates
him as the author, ''The son of David,
king in Jerusalem"

The Beauty of Words.

But though poetry is rhythm In
words, yet words themselves, as in
dividuals, are not poetry. Many years
ago in the old village Of Ayr, nigh IN
to the banks Of the Bonnie Doom" l
heard an old Scotchman recite John
Anderson. Ny 10. john" and other
