SOME unkEown philosopher says:
We love the man with roses on his
tongue, the man who sees the boys
dirty face but mentions his
: bright eyys: who notices your shabby
, coat, but praises your studious hab
It's; the man who sees all defaults,
but whose tongue is quick to praise
and slow to blame We like TO meet
man whose smile will light up
wearlness, whose voice is fnll OF birds
whose handshake is an inspiration
and his "God bless your ben
edlction. He lakes US forget our
troubles as the ravens dismal croak
is forgotten when the wood thrash
sings. God bless The man OF cheer.

AN instance Of what dram the
Chinese cooley is upon anv couutr,
when he is allowed to enter and work
is seen In report from the United
States consul at Annoy, China, who
reports that for more than twenty
years the balance of trade against
that district mas been more than
$l0,00O,000 annually. He says; ION
the face Of things the port long ago
ought TO have been drained Of money
or be IN debt beyond redemption.
Practically, however, the people of
nearly all this portion of China are
IS prosperson as ever, aud indeed
more prosperous than usual. The
explanation Is to be found 10 the fact
that fully 100000 Chinese from
Annoy and its tributary territory are
In the STRAITS Settlements and the
philippines. and they send home
each year not only enough money to
pay this large trade debt, but eve4
to build up credits and maintain a
constantly increasing population de-
pendent upon moneys received from
abroad forts support"
