Missions Worth While.

How to live comfortably with ones
neigLbor-that is the problem; to avoid
the knocks and frictions which draw
lines in mems faces and too often CON
tract their souls. 1t is paradOXical but
true, that the larger the soul becomes
the more room it creates for itself, a
margin Of quietness in which it remains
untouched by petty jealousies and
hurts. BY the practice of charity and
unSelfishneSs Il life builds for itself
more stately mansions wherein it
may dwell in peace. A song in ones
heart, smile upon ones lips, CHEEKY,
wholesome message of good will on
ones tongue, are wonderful helps to all
kinds of people. There are so many
burdens of sorrow and care and power
ty and sin so many doubling discour-
aged, tempted hearts. To comfort and
to make strong, to lift up and to bless
are these not missions worth while?
Try it, friend, and prove how truly
your own heart and mind are cheered
and made brave by your very endeavor
to carry sunshine into dark places.

OF fifty-dve births recorded during
last year in Carson City, New, only one
vas a male, writes Darlington King
Of Albany to the London Lancet. The
causes underlying the differences in
sex Qf, in fact, there are any causes
other than chance) are not only mat
tiers of great interest but of impor-
lance as well. Carson City, where this
extraordinary proportion of female
births occurred, has in its population a
much greater proportion Of males than
almost any other city in the state, it
being a western mining town. Can it
be that this is an effort of nature to
correct the ratio? If So has this cir
cumstance been observed elsewhere?
