A local minister has been freely
criticised because he goes out of his
way to welcome to his services per
sons whose lives have not always been
up to the standard prescribed by some
of the critics. 1t is said that he even
gives a welcome h~andshake to mis-
guided women who perchance sit
among his congregation, and that he
invites them to return. Well, what Is
the church for. and what is the min
lister for if not to influence and re-
deem Just such people as these? Is
the minister simply to cater to the so
called elect, many of whom have been
reclaimed from the very same source?
Would it not be more in keeping with
the teachings OF Jesus If these same
critics would join with the minister
and welcome those to the church who
ave through weakness wandered
away from the paths of right, a wan
dering away that is made all the easier
by The sn~obbishness Of the ~so-called
elect7

Surnames of Royalty.

The royal families of Europe have
not generally surname because
mostly unlike the English houses of
Stuart and Tudor, which were the
respective surnames of the first king
of each house before he assembled the
throne) they are descended in the
male line from some territorial counts
existing long previous to the period
in which the somewhat modern Gus
tom of surnames prevailed. King
George V, derives in the male line
from the ancient counts of Victim
(fourishing in the tenth century,
afterwards electors of Saxony. dukes
of SAKE Coburg Gotha, etc. His ances-
tors in the male line were of the house
of Este, one of whom, Azo of Este,
married early in the tenth century the
daughter and heiress of Guelph, duke
of Bavaria, from which match sprang
in the male line the dukes of Bruins
wickLuenenburg, afterwards electors
of Hanover and kings of Great Britain.
The members of the British royal
family are described by their prince
ly titles in proceedings in the house
Of lords, and no allusion is made to
any surname-for instance, they sign
the test roll merely by their persc nal
or Christian name, and we know
nothing of any surname which apper-
tanned by right or by usage to his late
majesty, King Edward, or to his maj
esty. King George V.

IF HAIR Is TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken and Beauty
Gray, Faded, Lifelsss Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect By asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depend& upon
TO restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's SO easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. Adv.

How ToIstoY Made His VIII.

The story Of how Count Tolstoy
made his will is told in the annual of
the Tolstoy society by one of the wit.
nesses an6 is reported by London Pub,
lie Opinion. On July %, 1910, the
witness was summoned by a lawyer,
who said that Tolstoy wanted to make
his will without an hours delay They
rode away at once to the meeting
place, a mile from Tolstoy's home. He
met them and led the way into a dense
forest
In the thickest part of all" the mar
rative continues, I'VE stopped at big
stump of tree. Tolstoy sat down on
the stump, took a fountain pen from
his pocket and asked for a sheet of
paper. With feet crossed he began to
make the rough sketch of his will"
1t was completed, signed and wit
messed then and there, and then: He
rose and going to his horse said to
me: How CHASTITY all this legal bust
ness ISL With an activity remarkable
in a man of eighty-two he swung him
self into the saddle and vanished
quickly in the dark greenery Of the
underground.

KEEP UP UNREST. IN CHINA
Fervent Believers in Evil Spirits and
Kindred Invisible Agencies Source
of Much Trouble.

It is a common belief among the ig-
norant classes of the Chinese that
the innumerabIe evil spirits of the
dead are real and terrible demons.
These demons are believed TO be able
to subject the relatives to the most
evil state of bondage and suffering.
Superstition runs so rampant
throughout China, in spite of the
sprinkle of education and advances
made during the last decade by occi-
dental commerce and missionary eff
forts, that the average native firmly
believes in the existence Of invisible
agencies. These superstitious agen-
cies can mysteriously cut of queues
and bring about sickness or accident
or other dire disasters.
Because of this superstitious fear
and belief in the presence CT evil de-
mons, many Of the Chinese are ire
Quently aroused to the widest. most
uncomfortable state CT excitement.
These latter outbreaks manifest them
selves in different phases Of public
disorder and rioting. For example, in
1877 panic broke out in which
queue-cutting mania occurred.
The later Boxer outbreak was a gi-
santic illustration Of how supersti-
tious fear can arouse the average Mon
golian. Under the stress of high eX-
element and fever, the average ig
norant Chinaman, led on by UEscru-
pulous leaders, is made to actually be-
lieve that all the laws of nature have
for their especial benefit been sud
denly repealed. The ignorant, super
stitious mind of the native is readily
worked up to the point where he be-
lieVes he bears a charmed life and
that his body is invulnerable to rife
bullets, exploding artillery shells or
other missiles of war.
Difficult as it is to believe, there
are native fatalists existing today in
China so wildly superstitious that
they believe no sword has ever been
forged which can cut their charmed
lives. Obviously, they have never
gone up against the real thing in oc-
,cidental warfare, but it is with such
sophistries that these fatalists in
fame the superstitious minds of their
ignorant followers. The disturbing
and perilous element among the Ce-
lestials, with their wild superstitions,
is impossible to estimate, but in spite
of the marvellous advances during the
last two decades, China is still filed
with such dangerous men. One of
some educational method whereby
these wicked and evil states of the
ignorant, superstitious mind of the &c.
lestial can be oyercome.-CIyde Wit

Eqypt Gets More Rain Now.

Rain fell in torrents in Alexandria
Egypt, during the rejoicings over the
accession of the new sultan. Some
fifty years ago the statement would
have seemed ridiculous; but of recent
years the climatic character of Egypt
has lost its consistency, and now we
have rain in places where none was
known before, and more rain where
there was very little, or only the gen.
tie dew.
The English are believed to be re-
sponsible for the rain-with their new
channels for spreading over the land
the waters Of the Nile. Cairo has only
two inches in the year, while 500 miles
up the Nile there is practically none
at all. Just as the plantation of trees
in a desert will bring rain, so is Egypt
now a moister place because of the
extension of cultivated lands But it
is not likely that all our western civ
ilization will ever destroy the won
derful dryness of Egyptian air with
which the constitutions of invalids
and pyramids agree.

WELL WORTHY OF MEMORIAL
Is Cordially Endorsed by Leading
Eastern Newspaper.

An association has been formed and

ny Appleseed over his grave, at In

We trust that this will be done, re-
marks the Toledo Blade. A generation
hence, Johnny Appleseed may be for
gotten and the wonderful am inspir-
ing mission to which he devoted his
life. Some fnicky horticulturist may
sheer at the results that Johnny OBJ
tanned. But we may be sure that the
settlers of Ohio never sneered. To
find apple trees growing in some val
ley remote from home, to come upon
the little clearing and the struggling
fruit under the shadow of a forest.
must have been to the pioneers like
some fragrant breath from home.
One who had been a little girl when
this eccentric was in his prime said
that for head covering he wore a
pasteboard hat of his own making, with
one broad side to it; coat made of
coffee sack. which served him also as
shirt, and pair of ragged trousers,
the gift of a settler He never wore
shoes, even when snow covered the
ground. He made "a very unsightly
object, to be sure, but never one Of
US children ventured to laugh"
Johnny Appleseeds biographer in
"Howes Historical Collections of
Ohio" says that his bruised and
bleeding feet now walk the gold
paved streets of the New Jerusalem"
Aye, and we can believe that because
of Appleseed Johnny the air of heaven
is sweeter with the perfume of apple
blossoms.
