PRISCILLA.

The garden walk is still and dim,
And faint with ghost OF nnignonette,
And on the worn sun-diaPs rim
Gray letters tell the motto yet
81 marke the time-butte Love doth notte,
Nor has since when the frste morne
cleaned :"
And pathos fingers round the spot
Where fair Priscilla sat and dreamed.
I see her in her beauty Digit,
White-bosomed and with eyes of grIy,
She looking down from girlhood's height
Far on the futures winding way.
What love-songs here her days beguiled-
What poet was the most esteemed
When her colonial lover smiled
Here where Priscilla sat and dreamed?
Perhaps the bosom now In dust
Ached as she toyed some heliotropc,
And tears fell down as teardrops must
Where there is dearth Of faith and
hope.
But coffin'd in the long ago
The heart that ached and eyes that
beamed-
And Love hath marked the time, l know,
Here where Priscilla sat and dreamed.

There is a general running after for
eign things and (superficially) foreign
ways. Men having foreign training
are in demand. The same men had
to run for their lives at the Boxer
times. At the same time there Is
anxiety to shake off foreign control OF
everything-tpartly from new feel

a desire to keep the good things for
natives. Misgivings for the future are
based ON fear of an anti-dy-

There are a great many armies
in China, but the only one that counts
is Yuan Shi Kai's northern army"
l recently witnessed review of one
division. 1t was foot, field guns, noun
tain guns and cavalry. The last
named arm is negligible quantity in
the opinion of a British officer from
Wei-Hai-We who was also present.
The China pony is strong and hardy
and in many ways better suited to
the country than a horse, but is too
light. The Chinese are themselves
raising big horses somewhere in Mon
golia for the ultimate use of the army
and hope to remount their cavalry In
about four years. OF the other arms,
the men are smart and the recent
spring manoeuyres were most credit
able. Certainly the men of North
China are splendid material and the
officers at Wei-Hai-Wi have been
more than satisfied with the perform

the men are not trained to shoot. Tar

ficers, except to the rear, and IT is
doubtful if the officers would go any

The Bible I'm Foreign Lands.

The British and Foreign Bible Society
now distributes the Scriptures in no few
Ell than 400 languages.
This is one of the many interesting
facts presented recently at the society's
meeting in London.
Copies of the Bible are purchased from
the British and Foreign Bible Society for
cheese, eggs, arrowroot and many other
commodities. In the New Hebrides ma
tives pay for the Bible in arrowroot. In
one of the New Hebrides-Aneityum
so generous have the native Christians
become that during the last eleven years
they have grown and given arrowroot to
the value of $4,000 for the good of the
Christian cause and for starting other
churches. Nothing else is used in these
islands for the purchase of the Scriptures,
but arrowroot 10 pounds of which will
buy a Bible.
