Eternal vigilance is the price of

the envy Of her contemporaries. "All

This will be a good opportunity to

'Roughing the hair is positively
criminal and doing it up tightly at
night most injurious, for that irri-
tates the scalp, causing the hairs to
cr1nkl0 and finally fall. The better
way Is to loosely tie the hair back
from the face with a wide ribbon so
that it may then grow in the natural
direction.
mo matter how sincerely a girl
may admire the blonde, auburn or
chestnut locks of some schoolmate,
she would better not be tempted into
experimenting with ammonia, henna
or walnut dye, for the coloring matter
of the hair is affected differently in in
dividnal cases. Even the so-called
harmless peroxide has been known to
turn brown hair white instead of the
anticipated golden. Moreover, the
color of a girls hair usually accords
perfectly with her complexion. Nature
rarely blunders in tint blending.

The Biggest BIunder Of Missions.
This Shanghai conference will give
decided impetus to the union of all
missionary work. The biggest blum.
der of the missionary movement has
been perpetuation of foreign denomi-
national lines on the mission field. AS
the "Shanghai Mercury recently
said, in an editorial upon Chinese
Christianity:" IF it depended upon
the Chinese vote, the Christians would
all unite together in one National
Chinese church, without any of the
isms' of the west, which ought not
to be imposed on them and which
mayhap they will one day cast off,"
A rather careful inquiry among
leading native Christians reveals a
definite tendency toward the assertion
of Chinese nationalism in the native
churches. This nowhere assumes the
proportions or the animus so marked
in Japan, but the independence move
ment" is real factor in the Chinese
missionary situation. The foreign
workers seem well aware of it and
hospitable toward it, since the mis-.
sionary is not wholly successful until
he has made himself unnecessary
The number of self-supporting Chi
nese churches is quite considerable
and few are self-governing. They
are undoubtedly more in favor with
the people generally than foreign
manned and Observation-Disclosures
churches. So earnest are MANY na-
tive Christians in this direction that
they have organized a missionary So
ciety of their own, to open Christian
work in hitherto untouched Chinese
villages.
While on the subject of union and
comfy, frank criticism must be made
of some Of the smaller and rather
peculiar" American sects, which,
like many Independent missionaries,
plant their enterprises under the
shadow of long established missions
and steal away the converts of the
latter. This sort of proselyting is not
uncommon on the mission field on
the part of these smaller bodies, al
though by all standards it is dishon-
orable. Givers to foreign missions
should assure themselves that tho
work they support is not of this sort.
There is small excuse for these new
undertakings going to port cities,
when there are thousands of interior
cities and towns where not q single
missionary has ever gone. =.
Big Feet Becoming Fashionable.
The disproportion in which many
matters Chinese have been viewed in
the occident is illustrated by the foot
binding practice. Westerners have
been led to believe that this has
meant constant agony and hardship
for the chinese women and girls, and
the subject has been a stock argu-
ment in arousing sympathy for the
poor Chinese. One Is therefore sun-
prepared to find these ''lily-footed"
women such q merry, lively lot, as
they toddle about on the points of

FOUR SHAFTS OF HUMOR.
Pithy Remarks from One of the Fore
most Jokesmiths.

With the truly artistic tempera-
ment the bird in the bush has scant
notion of doubling it's value by chang
ing to the hand.
A has-been is a man who has spent
his time with hair vigors, electric
brushes and newspaper recipes, when
he should have been winning a laurel
wreath to cover his ignominy with.
When you enter a shop state just
what you want. For then the mer-
chant can go intelligently to work to
sell you something else. The great
law of commerce is to sell people
what they don't want. What they do
want will sell itself.
But, probably it is no harder to live
up to your reputation when you are
young than it will be to live it down
when you are older.-Puck.

sateen or quilted satin covers, and are

great temple of healing, where a
skilled missionary doctor ministers to
the sick of that teeming ancient city.
The magnitude of some of these
mission hospitals Is beyond the grasp
of the westerner who thinks that all
big things are near at home. Not one
tourist in 10000 who touches Shanghai
knows that out by the west gate of
the city is the Woman's Union hos
pital, in charge of DR.. Elizabeth Reif-
snyder, of Pennsylvania, which last
year treated more than 10000 patients,
preaching to them all, as we'll as to
the crowds of relatives and friends
who accompanied them. St. Luke's
hospital, of the Protestant Episcopal
mission, in the same city, is in quite
the same class with it, and both are
institutions of which any progressive
city in Christendom would be proud.
Canton, the Chicago or New York of
China, has two notable medical insti-
tutiOns in the Canton Medical college
and the E. A. Hackett Medical College
for Women. Both have hospitals at
tached, and the latter, in care of DR..
Mary H. Fulton, the only one of the
sort in the empire, has received the
highest official and public honors.
Everywhere I went in China l found

manifestly noble work, and earning

self upon me that one of the most
potent agencies that could be employ

state of this nations development,
would be a liberal daily newspaper,
actually presenting the whole worlds
news, and at the same time main
tanning a broadly progressive and
Christian attitude. There are men al
ready on the field, with a mastery of
the language, who are equal to this
task When I reached Shanghai, l

ly of tremendous Importance. The
whole nation is giving attention to
reading. The work of the Christian
Literature society has been vastly use
full. The various mission presses.
notably the famous Presbyterian Mis-
sion Press, Shanghai, have been in
calculably influential.
An instance, of the. way Christian
literature is being read by all classes
is shown by the wide circulation Of

more than 100000 copies were pur-
chased by individual Chinese. 1t is
