,~Iucsdino PeopIe.

We are ali inclined to judge Of 9TH
ers as we find them. Our estimate OF
a character always depends much on
the manner in which that character
affects our own interests and passions.
We find it difficult to think well of
those by whom we are thwarted or
depressed; and we are ready to admit
every excuse for the vices of those
who are useful or agreeable to us.
That is, we believe, one of those illu-
sions to which the whole human race
is subject, and which experience and
reflection can only partially remove

Queer Idea of Chinese.

The following is a quite modern
Chinese conception of the foreigners
treatment of infectious cases: IF an
epidemic broke out two foreigners
took the sick away and put them in
a little room, washed them with lime
water and then locked them up, so
that no one could see them, on pur-
pose that they might soon die and not
propagate the disease. Wives and
children might cry and weep, but the
foreigner would but drive them away
with sticks, for until dead no one
must see those faces again. Better
for all of us to jump into the sea than
submit to this."-South China Post.

Laundry work at home would be

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and ineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
sr strength than other makes.
