Chinese Artist,

In the fourth century A. D. there
lived in China an artist, who was also
poet. His name was Ku K'ai-chih.
In London there is a painting, long
scroll, which for at least thousand
years has been treasured as his work;
and though that cannot be proved, 1t
is in all probability painting by his
hand. One day, we are told, he in
trusted to a friend a chest full OF
paintings which he had collected. For
better security he fastened the lid OF
the chest and sealed the fastening
with a seal. The friend however
coveted the paintings, and hit on the
simple expedient of removing the
bottom of the box and so abstracting
them. When the box was restored tc
Ku K'ai-chih, he broke the seal ant
found it empty. But he suspected
no theft and expressed no surprise
Beautiful paintings, he said, communi

Why We Give Thanks.

Thanksgiving to God is fitting, be.
cause we have countless reasons for
it. God is our father, and he fills all
our days with blessings. There is new.
err a moment when we have not some
thing new for which to praise him.
There is blessing in everything he
does for us and sends to us. We should
be most ungrateful if we did not give
thanks unto God. Prayer should not
be all clamor for new favors, it should
be full of recognition of mercies and
good things. 1t is good, also, to give
thanks, because it makes our own lives
sweeter, truer and more beautiful. Joy
is beauty. Praise is comedy. One who
does not give thanks lacks the high.
est element of loneliness. Ingratitude
is dark and somber; praise is light and
beautiful. Giving thanks also makes
us greater blessings to others. Prais.
ing people scatter inspiration
wherever they go. They make others
happier, drawer, stronger. Our days
should be full of praise and song. Then
God will be pleased with our lives and
this world will be made sweeter and
better.-J. R. Miller. d. D.

a Lot of Racket.

Howard Elliott, the new president of
the New Haven & Hartford railroad,
was talking at a luncheon in New
York, about a millionaire who had
about his Raphaels, his Louis Seize
furniture, his Gobelins and his Aubus-
sons.
"Of course, he's self-made man, -
said Mr.. Elliott. I'm very fond of
self-made men. The only objection to
them is that sometimes they've failed
to put themselves together so as to
work noiselessly."

ECZEMA ON HEAD AND FACE

Rowland, Maine.-"My little daugh-

with eczema on the head, arms and
