the great nOncOnfOruist Eects that loved
the name of Christ Toward the end Of
his life he rejoiced that the churches
were standing shoulder TO shoulder IN
works Of charity and education"
Mrs J Ellen Foster, so well known
for her many intellectual gifts. and whose
activity along all lines OF progressive
work places her in the front ranks as one
Of the brilliant women Of the day. com
bines with It all a gracious womanliness.
She Is one of Washington's Iaost charm
ing hostesses. If the beautifully modu-
lated, sweet voice Of Mrs. Foster had been
bestowed upon more Of the daughters Of
America, the writer's who occdpy so
much space deploring the hlgh-pitched
rasping, shrieking voices OF their coun-
trywomen would have 10 forage round
for another topic. Those who were for
tunate enough TO hear Mrs Fosters lee
ture on The open Door" delivered last
spring in this city, will heartily agree
with the often expressed opinion that she
has among women no equal as a platform
speaker Without the slightest trace of
narroWness or bigotry. she is a loyal, de-
vOut churchWOman, the denomination OF
her choice being the Methodist Episcopal
Church Missionary work appeals espe-
cially 70 her. In a recent nine months
trip abroad-she was one Of the now his
toric Taft party-she made many inter
esting and valuable observations in re-
gard to the work Of foreign missions, par
ticularly in China and Japan.
7 heard Mrs. Foster tell recently Of the
marvellous things accomplished by the
Rev. Young J. Allen, whom she met while
IN China. He has lived there more than
forty years He went as a missionary
from the Methodist Episcopal Church
South before the civil war. Mrs. Foster
said every American ought to know more
of his work in China. The influence ex-
erted by him has been along civic, as
well as religious lines He has been a
powerful factor tn bringing about reforms
upon which the government has entered
and In introducing what Is best In mod
ern civilization among the people OF this
wonderful country. in addition to this
he has done a vast amount OF valuable
literary work. Mrs Foster told me that
she thinks it is not generally known that
this American missionary has the distinc.
tion of having written the history OF the
war between China and Japan which has
been officially accepted by both the EN-
peror of China and the Emperor of ia
PAN SO great was the admiration and
esteem of Il Hung-Chang for the gifted

Loudoa Correspondent Of the Beliman.
i met an interesting man IN the train
a few days ago. He was just an ordinary
bulIet-headed. half-Iliterate man but he
seemed TO know his business, wnich was
that Of manager OF a large parchment
works
'The burden Of his story was that his
business was so dead that they did not
know what TO do with their works. And
ii was solely American competition that
had done it.
In the first place, so he said. he can
not get the skins, because the American
buyers collar them all by wholesale be-
fore the sheep are killed. The skins Of
English sheep are bought on the flock in
the field; those of imported sheep before
the animals reach Liverpool. and at prices
which the Englishman cannot afford TO
pay.
IN spite Of paying higher prices and
in spite Of ocean freights both ways the
American manufacturer takes the skins

sorts OF things, at a price which the Eng
ltsh manufacture cannot meet

not as good as his, but il was good
enough; and how the Yankee did it lie

him If he had been % America to see.
He said he was going the next month
The incident Of itself is trivial. but 1t
is only one OF any which have come to
light Of late, the cumulative effect Of
which is compelling England. as sure as

tariff. But II is not American competi-
ton that the English manufacture and
the English public hate one-tenth, SO
rlueh as they hate the hpoding Of British
markets with cheap goods from Germany.

Had Wrong Idea of the Sound to ee
Removed.

Deacon Allen Sheldon, who recently
passed away, was universally respect
ed. by all who knew him, and his
stories were listened to with much de-
light, says a writer in the Boston
Herald. He used to tell the following
with a great dead of interest:
When a very small boy he asked his
father to let him go with him to the
town meeting. He went, with the
promise that when he returned he
would tell the folks what happened.
In those days the church was sup
ported by tax on every property
holder. Whatever of interest came up
for the church had to be voted on at
the town meeting
The pastor being feeble and his
voice not strong, an article in the
town warrant called for the removal
OF the sounding board from over the
pastors head, since it acted as an ex-
tingaisher, and not as originally
planned. When Allen returned he
told his mother about the sounding
board, and said:

squeaky voice: Mr.. Moderator.

BALM OF SCRIPTURE
HEALING PROPERTIES OF PINE
KNOWN TO ANciENTs.
Oil ct the White Pine Tree Used Sue
cessfuIIy by Physicians in Treat
ing Consumptive Patients.

The Oil of the Pine Tree is sup
posed to be the balm of Scripture. 1t
contains great medicinal properties
and was regarded with the utmost
esteem by the ancients, and to the
present day is peculiarly priced by
the people of the East.
n noted authority on diseases OF the
throat and lungs, who established a
camp for consumptives in the Pine
Woods Of Maine, says that his entire
treatment consisted of fresh air,
nourishing food and the Pure Virgin
Oil of the White Pine Trees, mixed
with Whisky and Glycerire in the fol-
lowing proportions:
Virgin Oil Of Pine (Pure) Hoz
Glycerine -...........2 2"
Good Whisky ..S 8"
Used in teaspoonful doses every four
hours
It is claimed the above mixture will
heal and strengthen the lungs, break
up cold in twenty-four hours, and
cure any cough that is durable.
The ingredients can be secured
from any good prescription druggist
at small cost, and can be easily mixed
in your own home.
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is put up
only in halfounce walls for dispensing,

many rank limitations of Virgin Oil
Of Pine (Pure), which are put out

no white bread for two years. 1 got
well in good time and have gained in
