Bv some curious process OF mental
telegraphy, everyone knew the mo-
ment PRAYERS were finished that Ella
Bancroft had put a radlsh in Miss
Marston's hair. So that sedate and
gifted young woman was greeted with
numerous suggestions in regard to her
dress and coIffure. You had better

But Miss Marston's spirit was eX-
hilarated by the hour OF PRAYER, by
the consciousness of Ella s tortoise shell
comb, which. if it was not matter,
was at least becoming. Then too,
would she not see herself IN the par
tial ewes of a young man, spiritually
inclined, whom she felt certain OF con-
verting to her faith? Her mental COM
ment upon these remarks and sugges-
tiOns therefore was mere mortal

A WOman's Great Idea

is how to make herself attractive.
But, without health, it is hard for
her to be lovely in face. form or
temper. A weak, sickly woman will
be nervous and irritable. Constipa-
tion and kidney poisons show in
pimples, blotches. skin eruptions and
a wretched complexion. But Electric
'Bitters always prove a godsend to
women who want health, beauty, and

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON
News of Interest of Men and Affairs
at the National Capital

We hear much nowadays about un-
rest and dissatisfaction in so-called
subject countries. There is unrest in
India, in Egypt, in the Congo Dis
tricts, in the Philippines. In fact,
there is no rest anywhere, nor
should there be; but the peculiar un-
rest in India and Egypt and the Phil
ippines has little excuse. If there
is any country capable of self-govern-
ment, surely these countries are not.
and they are much better off under
government of England and the
United States than they ever were
before. Every farmer, every manu-
facturer and every shop-keeper
among them with sufficient intelli-
gence to write his name, knows this.
Unrest is merely the agitation of the
politician and Office seeker who has
nothing to do and nothing to drink,
and who hopes through revolution to
secure office. Anyone who knows
India of a hundred or even fifty years
ago through reading or by closer ac-
quaintance, must known that the
country is immeasurably better off
through British rule with its vast
systematic internal improvements
and its organized helpfulness, than
under the despotism of extravagant
sybaritish and cruel princelings whose
taxation exhausted the country and
was expended in building splendid
palaces and tombs instead of roads,
railroads and irrigation systems, as
Smyrna times., 1910-06-08

at the present time. The same thing
under British rule is repeated now in
Egypt. The railroad from Cairo to
the Soudan, the improvement of the
Nile irrigation, the building of the
Assouan Dam. bringing irrigation to
millions of fertile acres, will in
time reproduce in Egypt such pros
rerity as was doubtless known there
5000 years ago. Notwithstanding,
Egypt is in a state of barely sup
pressed insurgency against her So
called cruel oppressors, who have
done all this for her. 1t is the old
story of the 'White mans s burden. -
The restless minority of the Filpinos
out of office, like the incendiary ag-
itators in India, in Egypt and else
where, pose as martyrs and patriots
and have their ill-informed, hysteri-
cal sympathizers in printing Offices
throughout the world.

.EPISCOPALIANS CLOSE AN
INTERESTING CONVENTION
BISHOPS SALARY INCREASED,
MANY QUESTIONS DISCUSSED
Delegates Elected to the General Con-
vention Which Meets in Cincinnatti,
Ohio, in October-Other Business

OniO, OI1GT business
Delegates to the 124th annual con-
vention of the Protestant Episcopal
Diocese of Delaware, held in Laurel
Tuesday and Wednesday, had some
thing of a thrill when Federal Judge
Edward G. Bradford, of Wilmington,
opposed printing a portion of the re-
port submitted to the convention by
Rev Hubert w. Wells. rector of
St. Andrews Church, Wilmington,
as chairman of the committee to con-
slider the relations of the church to
question affecting the welfare of the
people. Rector Wells report as
serted in part that many children
are mendicants on the business
streets of Wilmington, and that mes
sengers and newsboys are pilots to
places of vice for persons running
such places. He wanted the entire
report printed in the journal, but
Judge Bradford objected because of
some of the items in it, and he was
supported by such a large majority
| that Rector Wells withdrew his mo-
tion. The election of delegates to
the general convention of the church,
| to be held in Cincinnati in October,
required much time, but the follow
ing delegates finally were selected {:
Archdeacon George C. Hall, of st.
Johns Church, Wilmington; Rev.
Kensey J. Hammond, of Emmanuel
Church, Wilmington; Rev. Frederick
M. Kirkus, of Trinity Church, Will
mington, and Archdeaon C. H. B.
Turner, Of St. Peters Church, Lewes
The lay delegates chosen we're: Judge
Edwin G. Bradford, Wilmington; H.
C. Davis, Laurel, Charles H. Maull,
Lewes, and George A. Elliott, Will
mington. At the Wednesday after
noon sess ion the various standing
committees were elected; the salary
of the Bishop was increased from
So, 700 to S4, 200; Wilmington was
selected as the next convention anC
the date for the convention was
chaged from the first week in June
to the first week in May.

The news that there is an impend
ing boycott of American goods in
China, while not alarming, is far
from pleasant. There is very little
expectation of American goods to
China. By far the greater part of
the expectation is such that the
Chinese cannot we'll do without.
Kerosene, for example, has done
more for that benighted country than
anything perhaps that it has re-
ceived from the rest of the world.
The Chinese will scarcely be so stup-
id as to snuff out their light. 1t is
difficult for an American to under
stand the Chinese situation. There
is no Chinese sentiment or even
thought. A dense mass of excess
sively poor people who do not under
stand the language of their neigh
boring villages twenty miles off, of
course do not known that this gov
ernmert RENTED a Boxer indem-
nifty of millions of dollars. This
boycotting whether local or inter-
national, is a poor business, but
what right have we to complain, who
! boycott thrifty, economical, hard
working Chinese immigrants, we who
spend millions through missions to
fit them for heaven, but hold that
they are not fit to live in the United
States.

The Fighting Bjornsons.

Bjornstjerne Bjornson, who lies
gravely ill, was "a fighter ever" and is
also the son of fighter. His father,
Rev. Peder Bjornson, went to take
charge of a parish in the rural district
Of Oesterdalen and found that the lax
lty of his predecessors had taught his
parishioners to treat pastors with con-
tempt. At the first display of rude
ness he took off his coat and punched
the heads of the ringleaders, with the
result that his pastoral authority was
established on sound basis and he
and his flock lived happily together
ever afterward. The poet himself. at
the time when he was leading the sep
aratist movement, went so far as to
challenge King Oscar to mortal COM
bat. For his offense he was sentenced
to years imprisonment. but he
got away and spent the year in Paris.

chains with hooks are fastened at the

FARM NOTES.

Never disturb the bees in cold
weather.
Spring is the best time to make a
start In bee-keeping
Never approach the bee hives from
the front If you would keep peace with
the inmates.
You can breed the nubbins out of
the corn just as easy as you can breed
the scrub cows out of the dairy herd.
Isn't 1t shame that the wheat
lands of this country produce an av-
erage of only about IL bushels per
acre?
The hired man who shirks or
lodges his work to save a backache
will never be anything but hired
man.
Gardening time will be here before
you are ready for 1t, If you are not
careful. regardless OF the cold winds

Choice of occupation is mostly a
matter of taste and aptitude. No hon
est calling is in itself much better or
worse than others. Every business is
considered the best by somebody.
while others declare it the worst of
all. The question is not have you
chosen the best vocation. but rather
have you found out where you belong?
The right road will seem to stretch
out before you the distance of a life
time without barrier; the wrong
road Will quickly lead to a blind wall,
or at best to a very steep hill.
