ENGLAND'S PEACE ADVOCATE

One thing European statesmen ana
writer's are agreed upon is in giving
the British minister for foreign al
fairs the credit of winding up the
Balkan war and in preserving the
greatly threatened peace of the re-
mainder of Europe.
Signor E. Emanuel, noted Italian
diplomat and writer, for instance,
says: cit was stroke of good for
tune for the Liberal party as soon as

entrust the direction of foreign policy
to Sir Edward Grey, who during the
South African war had separated him.
self from the party and avowed him.
self an Imperialist. His Liberalism
was enlightened-tempered by sense
of reality and respect for the spirit of
the race. Quietly, without any shock,
he was able to take up and develop
the work of Lord Lansdowne when
the advent of the Liberals to power
had caused a fear lest the foreign
policy Of the United Kingdom might

Care of Fruit Trees.

Look we'll to the little fruit trees
set out this spring. See that they do
not suffer from the lack of water.
When trees need water pull the soil
away from around the roots, give each
tree a pailful, and, after it soaks in,
replace the earth.

Hongkong two of the largest and most splendid
cities of the far east, and that is the fact that
they are practically horseless cities, especially
Hongkong where horses are seldom or never

purposes but are never used for the hauling of
freight and merchandise, and in both Rangoon
and Hongkong practically all freight Is hauled

by numbers of coolies pulling on ropes. In Ran
COON the carts have two large wheels and the
coolies are always Hindus for no Burman would
so demean himself so insult his pride as to
become beast of burden. In Hongkong the
freight vans are low, four-wheeed arrangements
and are drawn by haf-naked Chinese coolies.
1t is a pitifu thing to see how cheap thing is
human life in this great city Of Hongkong, where
nature has done SO much to create an earthly
paradise.
The streets are so steep as to make the use Of
horses quite impossible, and the greater part
of the European population livs on the Peak"
seems to be necessary that many thousands Of
Chinese coolies should sacrifice their lives in
this heartbreaking work of burden bearing on
these steep mountain roads. There are hundreds
of great mansions and beautiful European villas
on the slopes of the Peak" and In building
these homes every brick and stone, every timber
and pound of mortar had to be carried up from
the city on the backs of Chinese coolies laboring
for few pitiful pennies day. Every ounce of
household supplies is brought up in the same

SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

KinGsley, Mich.-"Last May my
thirteen-months-old baby had a sore
come on her cheek. 1t started in four
or five small pimples and in two or
three hours time spread to the size of
a silver dollar. 1t spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the PIN

ed more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up her nostrils were one
solid sore. She was very fretful. She
certainly was terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed to be of any use.
Then got some Cuticura Soap and

go at gentle trot the motion is easy and IN no
way tiresome. 1t is strange experience to ride
hour after hour through the narrow, bewidering,
crowded streets of this most amazing city on
earth with half-naked chair men streaming with
perspiration and constantly yelling at the top Of
their voices for the populace to clear the way,
for 1t is a most remarkable thing to see the re-
spect shown to the burden bearer in China. The
man with load always has the right OF way,
and the man with the heaviest load invariably
is given precedence. In this wonderful land Of
China which we have so long been taught to
despise, the burden bearer is honored as in no
other land. and labor is exalted in manner un-
known to our western world.
At Shanghai we come upon another strange
and peculiarly Chinese mode of conveyance and
burden bearing-the passenger wheelbarrow,
upon which 1t Is necessary to carry two passen-
gers in order to balance the barrow. These bar
rows are very generally used in the Shanghai
district, both as freight carriers and for trans
porting passengers, and 1t is decidedly amusing
sight to see some rich Chinese farmer or coun-
try merchant. wonderfully arrayed in silks and
balanced by his wife or huge crate of poultry,
as he rides into the walled city Of Shanghai on
one Of these numbering wheelbarrows.

Il don't see what else we can do. No

Milly put on her cloak and went out
into the crisp autumn afternoon. The
woods were bare except for a few
tOrchlike flames of red which marked
the presence of an occasional gum tree.
The sky was clear. cold. and pallid

INNER BEAUTY.

There is nothing in the whole
world that can vie with the soul
in it's eagerness for beauty or
in the ready power wherewith it
adopts beauty unto itself. There
is nothing in the world capable
OF such spontaneous uplifting,
of such speedy ennoblement:
nothing that offers more scrupu-
lous obedience to the pure and
noble commands it receives
There is nothing In the world
that yields deeper submission
TO the empire Of thought that
is lOftier than other thoughts.
And on this earth of ours there
are but few souls that can with
stand the dominion of the soul
that has suffered itself to be-
come beautiful.
In all truth. it might be said
that beauty is the unique ali
ment of our soul. for in all places
does 1t search for beauty. and
it perisheS not Of hunger even in
the most degraded of lives. for.
indeed. nothing OF beauty can
pass by and be altogether un-
