THE CHINESE DISLIKE WAR
Empress Issues for Publication Peace
full Precepts from Teachings
of Brahma

The bloody events OF St. Petersburg
and Russia in general are filling the Chi
nese. the most unwarlike race of people,
with joy Whatever happens Russia can
not now execute her threat 70 invade
Chinese territory and punish the Chinese
for alleged breaches of neutrality, says
a recent report from Picking.
AS soon as Russia published the note
accusing the Chinese and threatening
hostilities. the empress caused 10 be
published broadcast by newspapers and
placarGs the following legend, which pic
lures the Chinese situation exactly:
when Brahma put the first men and
women upon this earth they complained
bitterly when recognizing their own
helplessness in comparison with the 9TH
er animals. Why were we not given the
eagles wings, the lions and tigers paws,
the buffalo's horns. and the elephants
tusks and trunk? they asked Why are
we smaller and weaker than the bull,
why without soft furs like the bear?'
"And the great Brahma answered: L
didn't give you wings because | don't
want you to leave this earth and die,
flying towards the sun. | failed 10 fur
nish you with talons. tusks and horns
because | don't want you to tear each
others bodies. You need not the
strength of the tiger. the lion, the ele-
plant 10 hold empire over the earth.
You need no brute power, for | made
you stronger than all the animals by
giving you good sense. It's your brain
that will make you king of beasts.
True. compared with the earth, you are
but like specks OF dust, yet you will
sway the earth, subjugate and rule 1t
by working 1t. All its treasures the
earth will lay at your feet if you but ask
it in the right way.
"'Use your brains, then, to maintain
peace among yourselves. TO further
brotherly love, TO exchange the products
of this earth so each and all are salts
fed. There is no greater stupidity than
war.
THE Chinese" says the empress
placard. "believe in Brahma's teach
ings. They hate war and do everything
to avoid it, nothing to further it"

Inventors Shrewdness.

A story is told of certain famous
inventor who is fortunate enough TO
be able to employ large staff of engi.
neers and mathematicians to aid him
in the solution of knotty problems.
Some time ago the inventor desired to
find the cubic capacity of a certain
vessel of unsymmetrical proportions,
and asked his mathemarcians TO solve
the problem. AS the story goes, the
mathematicians spent weeks of time,
filled their books with their calcula-
tons and finally presented what they
said was close approximation to the
true result. Thereupon the famous
inventor placed the vessel on a plat
form scale. filled it to the brim with
water, obtained it's weight when full
and when empty, and in few minutes
he had a result as good as the mathe-
maticians-for that particular vessel.

Use for an Old Plano.

A woman whose desire for beautiful
things quite outstrips her pocket book
created from an old square piano case
a magnificent library table. The
works Of the instrument had become
absolutely worthless, so they were Ia
ken out. When the piano was closed
IL was tight box of rosewood. The
front piece was taken off, and a pine
drawer was fitted in with the front
piece for the front of the drawer.
Two old-fashioned glass knobs we're
screwed into the drawer for handles.
The legs were beautifully carved, but
were. Of course. too long, so they were
sawed off TO make the top come TO a
convenient height for a table. The
whole thing was polished highly, and
the result was a table that would not
be bought for S100.-Brown Book.

Fdrhn0,

They say that parting is sweet sorrow,
And so it is, if they that part
Look forward to some glad tomorrow
When each may claim the others heart
The handclasp and the sacred meeting
OF lips in Loves pure service these
Bring recompense for much repeating
OF eager longings, if the seas
And hills and plains that keep US twain
May some day be recrossed again.
When we who say good by forever,
Clasp hands and look through tear
dimmed eyes,
And know that we may never, never
Renew the rudely broken ties;
Oh. if from splendid realms above US,
They may behold who gave US birth,
And still as weeping children love US,
How must they wonder that the earth
Can, as our hands unclasp, possess
Aught save the tomb of ioyousness!
Their parting may be splendid sadness,
Who look with eager hopes beyond,
For whom the future treasures gladness
In payment of the joys they've pawned;
But how can heaven undo the sorrow
That they must bear who, loving, part
And see ahead no glad tomorrow,
No cleaning afterwhile, sweetheart?
Who have no dear excuse, alas,
To count the moments as they pass!

WHAT THE TEACHER MUST DO.
Aim to Produce "Pleasurable Excite
ment' in His Pupils.

knowledge is good, but wisdom is
better. The college valedictorian,
trained TO take knowledge in, rather
than 10 impart it, may have much of
il, with but little wisdom; he may be
able, as a teacher TO drill boys and
girls in Greek or Latin deolensions,
and cram them with facts, useful or
valueless; but if he cannot produce in
them what Spencer calls "pleasurable
excitement" and interest, he is fail
ure. His would be the sort of teach
ing that harps upon obedience and
discipline, and endeavors by force of
rule and rod 10 obi &c the pupil 10
study and learn. The will cannot be
forced, but the real teacher knows
well that 1t can be led. He remem-
bers the remark of Rousseau that "the
teachers province is less 10 instruct
than to guide" that "he must not lay
down precepts. but teach his pupils
10 discover them" This was the way

When the Gem is Gone.

What would the splendid ring be
Robbed of its flawless gem?
What would the days of spring be
If hope came not with them?
The vase from which is taken
The fragrant rose and rare

And pitiful and bare.
What would the sweetest soul be
That gazed from no deep eyes?
What would the highest goal be
lit contained no prize?
The house that once was splendid,
Since Love has left, is drear,
And Scorn is there attended
BY Loneliness and Fear.

If meaning they had noney

Pleasures OF Reading.

OF the many well-read persons we
have encountered, we never knew one
who was not greatly raised in the scale
of being by his fondness for books. There
is no such deliverence from narrowness
and from narrowing careers. The man
or woman who is conyersant with books
shows by degrees a certain superiority
even in outward aspect. and cannot help
lifting the talk above the ordinary low
level.-British Weekly

song by quartette composed of Ban
gor young people, followed with pray
er by Mr.. Champion, then an hours
talk by Bro. John :. Campbell. which
all present greatly enjoyed. and at
the close of which we gave him the
chatauqua salute. Then came three
rousing cheers for Brother and Sister
Merriman, who so kindly gave III the
use of the grove and baked the largest
chicken pie l eyer saw. Miss Mirth
Burger recited a very appropriate
piece in a nice way. Then Miss Tets
