VIcARIoUS SERVICE.
Test of Highest Development Of Chris
tan Practice.


"Inasmuch as We have done 1t unto
one of the least Of these my brethren,
We have done 1t unto me-"
We too often think of service to
Christ as something mystical and inn
aginary. The text given above teaches
| that Christ is here living in men, and
when we minister to the needs and
wants of suffering humanity we are
ministerins to Him.
1t should be remembered, however,
that Christ was speaking, in this scrip
ture, particularly to His disciples.
They were already His disciples and
service did not make them so. The
basis of their acceptance as disciples
was their love for and trust in Christ.
SO service does not make US disciples
of Christ but 1t Is the test of our dis
cipleship. The great joy of Christian
life is in ministering to Christ, vica-
riously, through his suffering brethren.
For was an nungered, and We gave
me meat; was thirsty, and ye gave
me drink; was stranger, and We took
me in; naked, and ye clothed me; I
was sick, and ye visited me; l was in
prison, and ye came unto me-" Think
Of the opportunities we have to minis
ter to Christ in this way, and thus
testify by our works our love to Him.
The world wonders why men and
women will give up friends and loved
ones and all the comforts of Christian
home and go to a strange country,
among a strange people who are re-
pulsive to all that is pure, who are vile
and full of sin and hate, and spend
their lives there ministering to their
wants of every kind, suffering insult
for their kindness and many times CIV
ing their lives as sacrifices; and they
wonder on till they are brought to see
Christ as their Saviour. Then every
cry of the helpless and suffering will
be to them the call of their Saviour.
am not trying to suggest anything
new, the object of this paragraph Is to
urge all Christians to open their eyes
to see the needs, and unstop their ears
to hear the cries of all suffering hu-
maniy at home and abroad, and to
realize more fully that 'Inasmuch as
ye have done it unto one of the least
of these my brethren, We have done 1t
unto me-"
Macaulay, in his essay on Milton,
says: "Anosto tells a story Of a fairy
who by some mysterious law Of her
nature, was condemned to appear at
certain seasons in the form of foul,
poisonous snake. Those who injured
her during the period of her disguise
were forever excluded from participa-
tion in the blessings which she bestow-
ed. But to those who, in spite Of her
loathsome aspect, pitied and protected
her, she afterwards revealed herself in
the beautiful and celestial form which
was natural to fler accompanied their
steps, granted all their wishes, filled
their houses with wealth, made them
happy in love and victorious In war;"
So what is done to Christ In His dis
guise and lowly form, of the poor and
sick of earth, is test Of our charac-
ter and of our love, and will be re-
warded and blessed by Him when He
comes in His glory.-Rey. VIM. j.

cHINA'S FORESTRY.
Awakened orientaIs Taking Inter
est In Conserving Tree Life.

Awakened orientaIs Taking Inter
est In Conserving Tree Life.
In a portion of the Chinese Empire
"a country whic is so often cited
as an example of the evil OF defores-
tation--earnest efforts are now being
made to re-establish a forest cover
by planting. The work is being car
ried on under the supervision of the
Germans, says Harper's Weekly.
When Tsingtau was occupied by
the Germans about eleven years ago
the hills were found bare and bar
rem. with only a sporadic growth OF
scrub pine and weeds. Plans for re-
forestation were at once made and
about 1856 acres have already been
planted. About half Of this is planted
in acacias, the balance In pine, larch'
walnut, oak, ash, maple and alder.
So successful has this planting been
that the point has already been reach-
ed where the sale Of timber can be
made.
1t is particularly remarkable that
this work should have been SO sue
cessful in view Of the difficulties 70
which the plantation was subjected.
The rainfall is light and lack OF mois-
ture considerably retarded the deyel-
opment of the trees. By far the worst
enemies, however were insects. Va
rious species of caterpillars and 9TH
er insects have been so destructive
that thousands of Chinese boys and
women are now engaged annually to
DESTROY them. Various measures OF
prevention have been tried, such as
placing girdles of glue on the trees,
but these have not been effective, ana
it was found necessary to resort to a
systematic destruction Of the insects
by hand Acacias appear TO with
stand the attacks of the insects bet
ter than any other species. and the
SUBMITS of the mountains are now
being planted with these trees In an
effort to check future destruction. In
addition to these enemies. Chinese
thieves are another source OF diff
Guilty, and on one occasion band OF
thirty-six thieves was captured IN the
act Of stealing wood.
In spite of these drawbacks, how
ever, the work has been so success
full that the Chinese government is
now undertaking forestry schemes
in a number of places under advice
from German experts. This work
centers about Mukden, Manchuria,
where success has already been OBJ
tanned with acacias. and experiments
are now being made with other trees.
The first Chinese forest school was es-
tablished at Mukden two years ago.
Six hundred and twenty-five acres
have already been set apart for cul-
tivation, and PATIO acres are to be
purchased for afforestation.

KANSAS WOMEN IN OFFICE.
Teachers, Court Clerks and County
Treasurers and Judge.

eacners, SouTt SieTNs anu Sou"J
Treasurers and Judge.
The power and influence of women
in the states educational affairs was
demonstrated in Kansas last week,
when 5000 teachers had their annual
meeting Nearly three-fourths OF
them were women, says the New York
Sun.
The first day brought together the
county superintendents, Gov. Stubbs
and other state officials who have not
kept themselves informed on the prog
ress women are making in this state
as officeholders were amazed to learn
that forty-one of the 105 were women,
The day following more tnan 5000 OF
the brightest young women OF the
state marched into the city to have a
voice in the annual meeting Of school
teachers. Five hundred of them ar
rived by special train at l a. m, find
ing hotels and boarding houses packed
with earlier arrivals. 1t was too late
to find shelter in the homes of Topeka
for that night, but these women were
equal to the emergency,
open your churches" they said,
"and we will sleep in the pews," More
than 200 were thus accommodated.
Sixty-two women hold county Of
fees by election In Kansas, many OF
them having been elected for their
third and fourth term. Many women
hold elective municipal offices, but q
list of these is not obtainable.
The women have a notion that they
can fill purely clerical places as well
as men, and the office Of register OF
deeds in each county appeals to them.
Seven women have already been elect
ed to the office In Kansas, and 1t IS
estimated that at least twenty-five viii
be candidates in other counties next
year.
Five women hold the office of clerk
of the district court, and their records
are models of neatness and accuracy.
Four are county clerks. Three are
county treasurers. One woman Is
county commissioner far out In Wlch-
ita county. Miss Minnie Upper was
elected to this office because of her
business ability.
Mrs. Mary ]. Cooper is probate judge
NJ Mitchell county, Sne issues mar
riage licenses and performs ceremonies
with as much dignity as any minister
of the gospel, and she says she likes
the Job. Many brides and bridegrooms
from surrounding counties have travel
ed to Beloit to be married by her. In
this way she has picked up many extra
dollars.
The Kansas women who hold county
offices attend strictly to business, IN
variably the rooms occupied by women
county officers are clean and attrac-
tive. The use Of tobacco Is barred.

Convincing Enough For Him.
Appropos Of his great love for
horses, the Earl of Haddington told
a capital story at an agricultural dim
ner some time ago. Having purchased
a carriage horse to match one he al
ready possessed, day or two later he
asked his groom what he thought OF
the new arrival. ''Weel, sir" was
the reply, "he's a gran'-looking
horse. but he's a wee bit touchy i
the temper" what makes you say
that?" "Weel, he didna seem to tax
kindly to anybody, sir. In fact, ne
dinna like me to gang inta his box to
feed him." His surroundings are
strange to him." suggested his lord
ship. at don't think there is any
thing wrong with his temper" Il
didna either at first, sir" replied the
groom, "but he kicked me clean oot
of the box twice, an when We come

Humorous department.

The Easiest Way.-A company Of
select colored artists was rendering
a version of "Othello." The scene
between the Moor and Desdemona
had been reached, wherein Othello
demands the handkerchief which he
has given his wife as wedding
amulet.
"Desdemona," he cried, fetch me
dat han'kerchief!"
But the doomed lady only babbled
of Cassie, and her liege lord shouted
again:
81 asst fo' de second time to git
me dat handkerchief"
Still the fair one parried the issue
with talk of Cassie, and the lordly
Othello. now thoroughly incensed,
beloved:
s'Woman, TO de third and las
time I tell you to git me dat ham
kerchief! Away!"
And as he was just about to open
his mouth again. big, leather
lunged patron in the top gallery
shouted down at him:

LANDES SHEPHERDS.
French Peasents Who Are Experts In
Walking on Stills.

Walking on Stills.
There is vast district In France
where the entire community goes
about and transfers its business ON
stills This district is called Les
Landes,"
The inhabitants, who are among the
poorest peasants in France, gain their
subsistence by fishing, by such little
agriculture as is possible and by keep
ing COWS and sheep. The. shepherds
make use of their stills for two pur-
poses-frst, because walking is quite
impossible on account Of the sage and
underground of brush, and, second,
because the height Of their stills gives
them a greater range Of vision.
The stills generally are about six or
seven feet high. Near the top there
is a support for the foot. which has q
strong stirrup and strap. and still
nearer the top a band Of leather fas-
tens the stilt firmly to the leg, just be-
low the knee. Some stills, especially
those made for fancy walking and for
tricks, are even higher than seven
feet, and the man who uses these
and he must be an expert-can travel
as fast as ten miles an hour. The
lower end of this kind of stilt Is cap
ped with a sheep bone to prevent Its
splitting.
Some Of these Landes shepherds are
wonderfully clever in the management
of their stills. They run races, step
or jump over brooks, clear fences and
walls and are able keep their bal
ance and equilibrium while stopping
to the ground to pick up pebbles or to
gather wild flowers. They fall prone
upon their faces and assume their
perpendicular without an effort ana
in a single moment after they have
thus prostrated themselves.-Techni-

horse or Beef.-The first day horse
was served out at Kimberley some OF
it was cooked for the officers mess
at the mounted camp. At the table
Peakman said:
Gentlemen, ! am sorry to say
that we were unable to get our ra-
ton I'm beef today and had to take
part of it in horseflesh. This which
l am carving is beef; the horse Is at
the other end. and any one who pre-
fers it can help himself"
Nobody did prefer 1t, and so they
all ate beef and made a good din
ner. When they had finished Peak
man suddenly exclaimed:
by Jove. gentlemen, l find /
have made a mistake In the joints!
This Is the horsefiesh and the other
is beef
1t was just a dodge Of his to get
them started on the horseflesh.-
