MATCHMAKING IN INDIA.

One Scheme That Gave a Missionary
 the Surprise of His Life.
 Almost every one who has friends in mission work in India knows that one very important function of the mis- sionary is to play the part of match. maker to his flock. But few if any have heard of the conditions being re- Versed and the flock turning match maker for their missionary. That does occur. however, as the letter written by a missionary who lives at rutl- corin. south India. tells:
 On New Years day, 1911, as l was seated in my little mud cottage at TuticOrin a number of people entered the veranda and tremendously came into my room, bearing trays of flow CTS, fruits. raisins and sugar. which they placed at my feet like suppIiants who desire to gain the hearing of a petition. After all due ceremonial ett- quette had been observed and l had indicated my willingness to hear their petition Brother Gnana Draviam. a prominent lawyer in Tuticorin, began reading in Tamil an address to which the others gave strict attention. 1t ran like this:
 Reverend Sir-You have now for nearly two years bestowed great care and labor upon us, ministering to our spiritual welfare and striving for the health of our souls to such an extent that you have greatly impaired your own physical health. and we feel that you need some one to care for you, since you do not care for yourself. may deprive us at once of your life and services. Therefore, with pro- found humility and sincere respect. we venture to request you to marry a good woman. who will both care for you and help us.'
 This was naturally a confusing thing to happen, but 1 was bound to re- spond to such an eloquent appeal. and when the applause died away rose Your affectionate regard for my welfare is so overwhelming that l have no words in which to express my ap- preciation." and sat down, quite faint from the exertion.| But the novelty of the situation overcame my fatigue. and. turning to one of the elders. 1 asked if they had any particular per- son in mind as one who would be will ing to become my helpmeet and be equal to all the responsibilities they had outlined. Immediately Miss WIS name was mentioned. But" said |, "I don't believe she would have me-" This seemed to me like matchmaking with a vengeance. What high handed act. to be sure! To order their pastor to marry. and then to choose the girl besides! But the worst was still to come. We have already seen her and told her she must have you." said Brother Rajappan.
 So 1t was settled. l may add that my wife and have reason to approve highly of the Indian method of match making. but 1t should be combined with the western method of cOurting. as in our case. to secure the best re- ults.-.Exchange. 's">

Getting Rid of Foil,

We all know something of labor say ing machinery in q vague way, but we are not likely to have any idea of the ceaseless, scientific, wide reaching i'm. proyement that goes on in these de- vices. Magnet cranes that will pick up and carry five tons of loose scrap iron, one man coal handling bridges that will unload 800 tons of coal in an hour so that you can see the ship rise in the water, lathes in which ten tools cut into two pieces of steel at one time and one man runs two such machines these are only three of the new weap- Ons we are now using to conquer the world of things.

 The counsel appealed to the court, stating that an answer was necessary to his clients case, ending ur with the query, What would your lordship advise me to doY'.
