The road made many twists and
turns. but although the young man
kept up an incessant stream Of CONVEX

Gods Little by LittIe.v

Near Reformed Presbyterian mis-
zion In Kwantung, China, is a LITTLE
village peopled by one family, an old
woman Of 80 being the head of 1t, and
her descendants to the fourth genera
ton making up the population.
| A man OF the third generation went
away from the village to work. While
absent he was converted 20 Christ.
When he returned he was punished.
But he stood firm, told his friends what
the Lord had done for him, and pray
ed for them.
Later, one of the fourth generation
went away and returned Christian;
then there were two to testify and to
pray.
Next, two more OF the fourth genera
tion became Christians and then there
were four TO pray.
Last fall two more OF the third and
one Of the fourth generation we're con
yerted These seven then invited the
TO visit the village. And
they did 50.
There are forty residents In the vii
lage, and now only one of them bows
down to sticks and stones and sense
less things, and she is the old mother
Of them all, and now there is hope that
she, too, Will confess Christ. Then she
can say, 10, here am | and the chill
1ren Thou hast given me-"

According to DR.. Robert Hutchinson
OF London, II at any time meat is not
available, bread, sugar and eggs Will
make "a very respectable support for
the body" Sugar is an exceedingly
valuable article of food, as a source OF
energy. the unfortunate thing about II
being that 1t contains no heterogeneous
matter. Bread, however, does contain
some hence 1t balances up well when
combined with sugar. In times OF
scarcity of food bread and molasses Is
not half bad diet-at least 1t can be
relied on to keep the body up to fair
state of efficiency.

SUNLIGHT AND THE HOUSE.

Rooms Most I'm Use Should BE Ar
ranged that They Receive Rays.
Sunlight is natures most health-giv-a
ing scavenger. A house without sun
| light is unhealthy and unsafe for hui.
man occupancy, and it is necessary not
only to have some sunlight, but to have
as much of 1t as possible. 1t Is, of
course, not feasible to admit the direct
rays of the sun to every room of
house; the typical plan of all houses
is square or rectangular, and at least
one side of the house is entirely beyond
the reach of the sun.
The other three sides, however. can
receive more or less direct sunlight
and the problem Of the plan is thus re-,
duced to arranging the various rooms
so that the amount of sunlight is ad-
justed to their uses, and it must be

sufficient; the rays of the sun have.

nothing else has.

so long as the rooms most In use open
onto that side.
In dwellings Of average size the en-
trance front will also be the front "a
which any important room opens, but
In large country houses the old dis
tnction of front and back to house
has disappeared and instead we have
the entrance front and the garden

ters, so long regarded as characteristic

a Dog Habit. .

Have you ever thought why 1t Is
that dog turns around and around
when he jumps up on his cushion or
starts to settle himself anywhere for a
nap? Now that you are reminded YOU
can recall that you have seen Aog
do 1t many times, can't you? This hab-
1t is about all that is left to our tame
little doggies Of the days long ago, when
they were race of wild animals and
lived In the woods Their beds then
were matted grass and leaves, and it
was to trample enough grass and prop
erly arrange the leaves that the dog all
ways trod around narrow circle BE-
fore he would lie down. The dog of
to-day keeps up the same old habit, al
though there Is no longer any need for
1t, and of course the animal has no
notion why he does It.

The Kindness OF Christ.

Have you ever noticed how much OF
Christ's life was spent In doing kind
things-in merely doing kind things
Run over it with that In view, and you
will find that He spent great proper
ton of His time simply in making peo-
pie happy, In doing good turns to peo-
pie. There is only one thing greater
than happiness in the world, and that
is holiness; and 1t Is not In our keep
ing but what God has put in our pow
er is the happiness Of those about us
and that is largely to be secured by
our being kind to them.-Henry Drum

Scientist Discovers Ktnship In Sen.
sitiveness TO Animals.
Most persons have heard Of the ''sen
sitive plant" which shrinks from rough
handling and expands under gentle
treatment, but the scientific truth that
all plants are sensitive, that they have
nervous organization like that of the
lower animals, will be news to many.
| This truth was first proclaimed by
Professor ]. C. Bose Previously phys
biologists had attributed apparent evil
dences of sensation in plants to a dis
ter in their tissues. Now they know
that plants have really nervous or
ganization and respond in that way to
outside influences.
Professor Bose regards the plants as
a machine, complex, capable of delicate
response to external stimulus-inducing
movements and with the power of hold
Ing back part of the energy resulting
from the stimulus shock The exter-
nal stimulus induces expansion.
The interaction Of this contraction
and expansion is found to account for
the various phenomena characteristic
of life. Not the least important part OF
this conclusion would seem to be that
1t brings into close relationship phe-
nomena between which no connection
could be previously detected. He finds
no exception to the rule that response
is always by concavity of the more ex-
cited side of an organ.
The rhythmic activity Of the plant It's
sue is measured by the rate of forward
of water due to contractile
response. The transmission Of excita-
ton is detected by various methods Civ
ing results in entire agreement. 1t ia
curious to find that the so-called sensi-
tlce plants are in some respects less
sensitive than their fellows which were
supposed to be insensitlve.
Among the most Interesting Of the ex-
perlments are those dealing with the
action of drugs upon the mechanical

King Edward conferred the Order o
Merit upon James Bryce, the new Brit
lsh ambassador to this country, on the
eve OF his departure from London. This
order Is given to men who have wo1
conspicuous distinction In the naval OF
military service, or In letters, art OF
science. Only nineteen persons have
received It, sixteen Britons, one of
] whom, Sir L. Alma-Tndema, was a nat
urallzed subject, and three japanese.
There is nothing OF the kind in Amer
| lea. The Constitution forbids the ma
tlonal Congress and the State Legls-
latures to grant titles of nobility, and
the feeling which prompted the prohi-
bition has extended to the establish
ment OF honorary orders, save those
for military achievement. The Medal
OF Honor, conferred for acts OF con.
spicuous valor, and the Diplomatic
Medal, which Is bestowed upon foreign
ministers only, are not properly to be
classed with the honors which Euro
pean governments use to recognize
great achievement There Is not neces-
sarily anything undemocratlc In orders
Of merit or medals OF honor for men

suggested that something be done to
supply this lack. 1t Is not easy to see
