be raised the death list will be ap-
palling-will be greater by a hun
dredfold than that chronicled in Ma
pies, San Francisco and Jamaica.
Death and anguish of body and
mind will reign in Kianpeh for
months, despite the most ~sympathiz-
ing efforts. But Americans can miti-
gate suffering and lower the death
rate by contributing the smallest

! will prevent II death for one week.
That warm-hearted readers may
appreciate, as far as possible at this
distance, conditions that amaze the
onlooker and call forth his deepest
sympathy, I append extracts from the
most recent letter of William T. Ellis,
a trustworthy and capable CORE
spondent Of the Christian Herald, on
the spot. Mr.. Ellis writes after a
tour through a camp of 10000 starv-
ing refugees, and later will tell of
other greater camps where the con-
ditions are worse than those he por-
trays:
Little more than an hour ago l
saw two women, presumably mother
and grandmother, wailing over the
tiny coffin Of a child that had been
part of grim faminesk lilly toll.
"It is all SO ho1 B., so overpow-
Ing, so hauntingE B h~eartrending,
that one cannot write of it in an or
derby fashion. 1t seems as if only
the repeated cry of Help! Help!
Help!' can be fashioned for the ears
of the prosperous American people,
to whom God has given a year OF
plenty, while the poor of China per-
ish from want.
"Out of the awful mass of suffering
a succession Of individual pictures
come trooping before my vision.
There was the man, too weak to stand
erect, who bore On his back, as older
brothers carry babies in China, his
blind old mother, the mere skin-and-
bone framework Of a woman. They
wanted help and pleaded for it in the
thin whine of the utterly miserable
and l dared not give them SO much
Is a copper!
'Or that mother, hard-eyed and
rigid, who stood against a wall with
her six children gathered about her
tattered skirts, staring out uncaring
on a company of living refugees who
are a more melancholy sight than the
thousands of ancient graves among
which they are encamped. They had
been fed; n portion Of thin, watery
rice porridge for them all, and now
they must wait in the cold for an
other twenty-four hours before they
can be fed again-and wen then,
some stronger M may push them
aside and steal their turn at the
meagre relief.
Strange incongruities flash into
ones mind as he walks about among
these 10000 refugees. AS I passed
= this morning an old, old woman, COW
cred only by a few rags, who sat on
the cold bare ground, sharing her
small bowl of rice with a babe OF
twelve or eighteen months, evidently
her grandchild, who sat on her knees,

The Masters Pupils.

We should be very glad that we
are Christ's disciples, says J. Fl. Mil
Ter. When students Of music or of
art spend a time with some great
composer or master in Europe, they
are very proud, when they come
home, to announce themselves as his
pupils. They put it on their adver-
tisements and announcements and on
their professional cards. We should
regard it as a high honor to tell peo-
pie that we are pupils of Christ's;
that we have learned of Him how to
live.

The God We Need.

One of the great events of Elijah's
ministry was the trial Of gods-as to
whether Baal or Jehovah was the
true God. Baal's prophets prayed
long. But no fire fell. Elijah prayed
and the answer came at once. The
test Of Carmel is being repeated every
day in thousands Of places on the
earth. Burdened ones are praying,
and God in Heaven is hearing and
giving answer. Blessings are drop
ping out of the skies upon the needy,
suffering lives, in response to their
earnest, faith-flled pleading. The
God who answers prayers is the God
we all need.

The Souls Greatest Need.

Rest is the deepest want in the
soul of man. All men do not desire
pleasure; all men do not crave in
tellectual food; but all men long for
rest. 1t is the need which sometimes
makes the quiet Of the grave an OBJ
ject of deep desire. There the weary
are at rest. And it is this which,
consciously or unconsciously, Is the
real wish that lies at the bottom Of
all Others

Did DUTY Under pIffiouItles.

A gatekeeper in the employ OF the
Hessian railway company was recent
ly the hero Of an amusing incident.
His wife being I'll, he went himself TO
milk the goat, but the stubborn crea-
ture would not let him come near it,
as 1t had always been accustomed TO
have this operation performed by its
mistress. After many fruitless efforts.
he at length decided to put on his
wife's clothes. The experiment sue
ceeded admirably, but the man had
not time to dof his disguise before
the train approached, and the gate
keeper ran to his accustomed post.
His appearance produced quite a SEN
sation upon the officials of the pass
ing train. The case was reported and
an inquiry instituted. which, however.
resulted in his favor. as the railway
authorities granted the gatekeeper a
gratuity of 10 marks for his faithful
discharge OF his duties.

"Frizzie," who is distressed because
her hair is too curly. Most girls can
not wave their hair enough. If the

oil, 2 ounces; oil of rosemary, 1 ounce;
oil of jasmine, u dram. Mix oils with

minutes.
"AntOinette" finds difficulty with her
shampoo soap. which leaves the hair
greasy after washing. Half tea
spoonful Of borax in the first rinsing
water ought to help you, "Antoinette."
II this does not make the hair dry
enough. try shampooing it with liquid
green soap instead of the regular
preparations. Be sure to rinse this
soap out carefully. as it is inclined to
be sticky.

And, therefore. no woman should try
to afford so much white, for she is
making less money than the men.
The one new ia brio IN favor for shirt
waists is cotton wolfe. 1t washes bet

still in favor.

CHAPTER XVI.

n T was nearly noon of the next day
when Helen awoke to find that
Mcnamara had ridden in from the
3 creek and stopped for breakfast
with the judge. He had asked for her,
but on hearing the tale of the nights
adventure would not allow her to be
disturbed. Later he and the judge
had gone away together.
Although her judgment approved the
step she had contemplated the night
before, still the girl now felt q strange
reluctance to meet Mcnamara. 1t is
true that she knew no i'll of him except
that implied in the accusations of GER
tain embittered men, and she was
aware that every strong and aggressive
character makes enemies in direct pro-
portion to the qualities which lend
him greatness. Nevertheless she was
aware of an inner conflict that she had
not foreseen. This man who so con-
fldently believed that she would marry
him did not dominate her conscious
ness.
She had ridden much of late, taking
long solitary gallops beside the SHIN
mering sea that she loved so well or
up the winding valleys into the foot
hills where echoed the roar of swift
waters or glinted the fash Of shovel
blades. This morning her horse was
lame, so she determined TO walk. In
her early rambles she had looked tim
idly aSkance at the rough men she met
till she discovered their genuine re
spect and courtesy. The most I'M
kempt among them were often college
bred, although for that matter the
toughest of the miners showed album
dant consideration for a woman. So
she was glad to allow the men to talk
to her with the fine freedom inspired
by the new country and its wide
spaces. The wilderness breeds a chiv-
airy all its own.
Thus there seemed to be no danger
abroad, though they had told the girl
Of mad dogs which roamed the city,
explaining that the hot weather affects
powerfully the thick coated, shaggy
''malamoots." This Is the land of the
dog. and. whereas in winter his lot Is
to labor and SILVER and starve, in sum-
mer he loafs, fights, grows fat and
rgps mad with the heat.
