In a Chinese Hos pilsI

Some Of the best surgical work in
the world is done by medical mission
aries, who often have the poorest kind
of equipment In the way Of buildings
and apparatus. DIR. ii. \. kinnear,
medical missionary Of the second Con.
gregational church in Putnam, who Is
at the head OF hospital in Foochow,
has been Obliged to Use the sitting-Eoom
OF his own house for an operating room

trained natives for assistants. A new
hos pitaI Is in process of erection, on
high ground which will bring the
buildings into prominence from large
part Of the city. OF the nearly Is, 600
patients treated last year, several came
from high class families and they were
most appreciative Of what was done
for them. A distinctive feature Of this

bands wishes, no loving wife but would
gladly be willing TO humor him. II IS
not being old-fashioned. for love is never
old-fsshioned.
There may be danger OF such a mans
becoming selfish and inconsiderate. OF
wanting everything IN the home 20 con-
form TO his wishes But a man does not
become an autocrat OF this sort all al
once. II is a gradual growth. a canny
wife can check il at its inception And
the average man when surrounded by
such love Is apt to respond in kind The
more his wife does for him the more he
wants 10 do for her. We get what We
give.
The wife whose guiding star Is real
love does not often err In her ministra-
tons 10 her husband. II he does not care
for such personal attentions there are
other little things she can do 10 show
him her love burns pure and clear. The
woman who considers she is lowering
her dignity or not sufficiently asserting
her individuality by ministering In these
little ways to her husbands comfort
is really thinking more OF herself than
she is Of him. And she thus is not get
ting the greatest Joy out OF life. For It
is only when We forget self that the
purest happiness comes 10 US.

Oriental Economies.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The Chinese and japanese embroiderers,
who do such wonderful work. understand
also the value Of economiZing time, ex-
pense. and trouble For instance, the
hens and seams in some of their goods
are made with stitches an inch or more
long, but these stitches are so arranged
as to form themselves decoration. To
90 to another part OF the Orient again.
Bagdad couch covers are stitched to-
gether in strips with very coarse thread
and with very long stitches. but anything
else would be entirely out Of place.
Some japanese articles are left without
any hem at all. and yet they always look
well. Japanese towels can be used for
scarfs and furniture draperies. and with
simply the cut ends they look very nice
indeed. II any hem at all be added, II
should be In coarse thread and large
stitches
Curtains OF large, open lattice mesh are
another article which should not be hem
med, as they always draw. Let them
hang straight with the cut edge. and the
problem is solved and victory is gained
for economy Of time.
One lightweight Japanese print cur
tain, for example, was cut in fringe at
the top. the strands being about an inch
wide and six or eight inches long, and
the raw edges OF the slashes were not
trimmed In any way. The curtain was
then hung over a pole so that every
alternate strip was thrown over it, form
ing a sort OF ring, and the remaining
strips were allowed TO fall loosely. We
would have bound or faced this slash,
whereas the japanese understood the
actual artistic value of economy and sim
plicity in sewing and finishing.
