SAVED BY A BABY.

In 1895 the difficulties between the
Chinese and japanese made the lot Of
missionaries in China extremely dan
gerous. They recognized the serious
consequences of a general uprising of
the Chinese. In "The Tragedy Of Pao-
tingfu" there is letter from an Amer
lean woman telling how a party Of
l'Ghlnese soldiers were checked when
they came rushing toward her house:
A week ago a great crowd Of Chi
nese soldiers came to the compound,
about fifteen rods from here. They
caused great disturbance among the
Chinese servants and others. The
racket about the place was something
terrible.
Mr.. Roberts did what he could to
keep them quiet. DR.. Noble soon came,
and they two worked all the after
noon, trying to entertain these men by
answering their questions and show
ing them round. They broke into the
cellars, but did not break into the
houses, although they pushed on the
doors and wanted to get in badly; but
the gentlemen told them there was
only woman inside, and it was not
proper for them to go in. To this they
finally agreed, for the Chinees are
very particular about such things.
soon saw them coming toward the
house like a lot of hounds on the
track of some prey. They came to
the windows and began looking in, but
did not try the doors,

which did not look very bad, so l sat
down at the window with Baby Paul

arms to them and laughed, delighted
to see so many faces. They began to

"Well, well; I'm not particular.

Fred Liddon was calling on his ia

a member OF the senior class. Her

The walls were adorned with knick-
knacks of all sorts including both Har-
ward and Yale banners.

Controlling Nature.

Everybody knows that OF late years
natural forces have been wonderfully
subjected to mans need. We are
dazzled by the spectacular achieve
ments in steam and electricity, but are
likely to forget the less noisy but no
less marvellous conquest of animal and
plant life. Horses are swifter, cattle
heavier, cows give more milk and sheep
have finer feeces than in days gone by.
In plants the Transformation is even
more marked. People now living can
remember when the number of edible
fruits and vegetables was far less than
at present and even those that could be
grown were vastly inferior to what we
now have. For example, our parents
knew nothing of the tomato, except as
curious ornament in the garden.
Sweet corn was hardly better than the
commonest field sorts. All oranges had
seeds. Celery was little known and
poor in quality. In the, flower bed the
magnificent pansy has replaced the in
significant hearts ease from which it
was developed, and the sweet pea in all
its dainty splendor traces its origin to
the common garden vegetable.
This progress has been made in spite
OF the great tendency manifested in all
plants and animals to go back to the
original type. 1t is indeed battle to
keep strains pure and up to the stand
ard they have already attained, let
alone any improvement. The practical
results are accomplished by men operat-
ing largely for love of the work, like
Luther Burbank, in California, and
Eckford in England, as we'll as by the
great seed merchants, D. M. Ferry &
Co., of Detroit, Mich, who are not
only eternally vigilant to hold what
ground has been gained, but have a
corps of trained specialists, backed by
ample means, to conduct new expert
ments. The results of their expert
ences can be found in their 1905 Seed
Annual, which they will send tree to
all applicants.

THE REAL GUATEMALA.
1t Is a Country of Great UndeveIoped
Possibilities.

Possibilities.
Guatemala Is country Of great
undeveloped possibilities. Twenty
years ago the first railroad was open
ed connecting the capital with the Pa
cific port Of San Jose, distance OF
seventy-five miles, says Nevin o. Win,
ter in the Pilgrim. From Escuintla,
a favorite watering place, a branch
extended to Mazatenango, and there
connects with another line to the port
Of Champerico. On the gulf side, a
road, the Guatemala Northern, is built
from Puerto Barrios to Ranucho San
Augustin, distance Of 129 miles.
With the completion Of the seventy
miles intervening between this point
and Guatemala City, there will be a
continuous line between the gulf and
the Pacific.
The latter road was well constructed
and opened to traffic ten years ago.
However, 1t Is difficult matter TO
keep a road in repair in these tropical
countries because Of excessive rain
and the action of the elements and in
sects upon the ties. In the 129 miles
Of track there are 230 bridges, and
many Of them are over streams which
In the rainy season, are raging tor
rents. In that season many Of the
streams change their course or widen
their beds and wash out the track
One who has never visited tropical
countries cannot appreciate the diff.
culties Of railroad construction there
For the last few years the road has
been practically abandoned for freight
purposes because Of washouts and tie
destruction Of a bridge across the
Montague river. Now 1t has been
financed again and construction crews
are at work all along the line, new
bridge is being built and creosoted
ties laid down. At the present time
only one train week is being run tc

who may want to go. This train re

scarcely two ties to each rail that vii
hold spike. This road and all the
others are narrow gauge. Considerable
work has been and is being done or
the extension to the capital, and it Is
hoped to have It all completed within
two years.
The greatest problem with the rail
road, as well as with other enter
prises, is labor. The Indians will only
work spasmodically. Sometimes the
political governors will compel then
to work, but this cannot exceed four
teen days. Then they draw their pay
and leave. The plantation owners
overcome this by advancing the In

HOW TO BE HAPPY.

When you hear of good in people
tell it;
When you hear a tale of evil-quell it.
Let the goodness have the light,
Put the evil out Of sight.
Make the world we live in bright,

Failure spurs us to success,
Failures come, but come to bless,
Fitting us for righteousness
