THE MAN WHO TALKS

| have noticed that this lis a pretty
good world it. man is in it with a
good purpose and willing good for him
self and others recognizing that Good
ness created the universe and that Love
dwellS therein. Such a man is just
living in the sunshine that gladdens
the heart, for he lives not for self alone
but for the well being of ALL He
knows that an ill-natured selfish, re-
eentful mind brews poison. not honey
There is no such thing as get
ting sweets out of life in a crooked
way. 1t is under the rule of the spirit
OF good will that a man can have real
happiness. Such a man doesn't pray
for happiness for himself and family
his church or his country alone but for
all the world, for he knows that the
world needs happiness more than any
thing else. His good will is the good
will OF thought and action, for good
i'll without action iS like faith with
out works. The Divine will requires
that man shall entertain a divine spirit
if he would draw unto himself and the
world peace and joy from His mex
haustlble fountains.

A POPLAR HOSPITAL.

EnEHRA1NEA
Why not have a really and truly
popular hospital?
We note that the annual dues for
members OF the association backing
the Smith Infrmary on Staten Island
are IS. In Perth Amboy the annual
dues are $40. This city is composed
larQely. Of working men who make
comparatively small wages. Many
OF these men, perhaps most of them.
own their own homes, but they have
not much money to spare for other
things, as much rs they would like to
help along worthy causes such as the
hospital.
Those in charge of the hospital
here complain that they receive but
little help from the people at large.
AS far as we have been able to learn
Athere are but fifteen or eighteen
sbsss Of the hospital association
mis- city. Some of these are life
members, having paid 500 at the
beginning. Others represent the city,
county and factories that make dona-
tions to the hospital. 1t is safe to
say, therefore, that at present the
annual income from membership fees
Is less than, or at least, does not ex-
coed 500.
Why not make the dues of the
hospital association 81 or even 50 a
year? This would be within the
reach OF the humblest citizen. With
proper agitation it ought easily to be
possible to get 500 members for the
association at So per year. This
80 Sc an income of $1,000. This
z u AL better thar the 500 or less
SIat is now received. Then, too. 1t
would arouse public interest in the
hospital all over the city. The people
would feel that they are a part of it.
They would have a voice in electins
the Board of Governors. They would
take an interest in the institution
and would make it popular in every
n Of the word. Then, when an
appeal is made in behalf of the insti-
tution. there would be a response
hat would mean something.
Why not make the hospital

Rattsr Lata Than Not At All

The pastor of the little country church
had been much annoyed by having the
members Of his congregation straggle
in long after the service had begun.
One Sunday morning. when he felt that
further f~orbearance with this fault WAS
impossible, he decided to rebnke some
conspicuous offender. Abont twenty
minutes later than the proper hour
there entered a mild marnnfed little
woman, one OF the regular attendants
of the church, but quite incorrigible in
her tardiness. The minister looked up,
fixed her with his spectaeies and re-
marked.
SISTER, you are very much behind
time. / hope You wil not be so late IN
get ing into heaven"
ue little ON looked up, smiled
sw " and without a trace of confu-
sic replied placidiy:

Chinese and tho Morso Code.

Difficulties of the Chinese language
were ably demonstrated when the
problem Of adapting it to tele-
graphy. How was it possible to apply
the Morse alphabet to a language
which has no alphabet at all, but o
sists of nearly 1900 characters?
Then it was impossible to treat Chi
nese phonetically, writing down the
sound Of the Chinese words in Euro
pean letters and translatinG~them into
Morse dots and dashes, because no
such system could deal with the CHI
nese niceties Of information. The in
genious solution came from & Danish
professor. He simply codlfied the
1000 commOnest Chinese characters,
representing each by numerals. Thus
the Chinese word for CASH became
6030 in the code, and the operator had
only to send the code signal for that.

she spoils her nice young face in at
tempting to force tears from her eyes!
At this distance nobody could scent an
onion in her pocket handkerchief.
Rachel resorted to that trick in

that he did so."-Paris Letter to Lon
