SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS.

1t is foolish to be afraid of making
our ties too spiritual, as if so we could
lose any genuine love.-EmersOn.
One today is worth two tomorrows.-
Benz. Franklin.
We are building every day
In a good or evil way,
And the structure as it grows,
win our inmost self disclose.
Anon.
Much talent is often lost for want of
little courage.--George Eliot
And this is life eternal, that they
should know thee the only true God,
and him whom thou didst send, even
Jesus Christ.-John IL: %.
Then, welcome each rebuff
That turns earth's smoothness rough,
Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand
but got
Be our joy three parts pain,
Strive, and hold cheap the strain;
Learn, nor account the pang; dare,
never grudge the throe,
Browning.
If good part of our brain is occu-
pied with worrying, it deprives us of
just so much thinking power with
which to attend to business.-Annie
Payson Call.

In a smashing drive against tuber-
culosis in Kansas, the school children
of the state, Public Health Nursing
associations and other organizations
and individuals, organized for the
work, by the Kansas Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis, have undertaken to sell $780, 900
Red Cross Christmas seals between
now and December 25.
The object is to build UP, strength
en- and extend the campaign work
that has been carried on in the state
for the past six or seven years, and
as the National Association furnishes
the seals and much of the literature
and gives each state association ninety
cents of every dollar to spend in fight
ing the plague within it's own borders
the remaining ten cents going &c the
maintenance of the national head
fight, systematic, consistent effort
is to be made to dispose of all the
seals sent to Kansas.
The Kansas state association is and
has for sometime been cramped for
funds with which to carry on the
work in this state. 1t was forced this
year to dispense with an important
field worker, because the sale of seals
last Christmas was SO meager that
the proceeds would not Justify keep
ing her. This is the only source of
revenue the state association has the
sale of Red Cross Christmas SEALS
and when they are not sold there is
no income.
Yet Notwithstanding inadequate
funds, the association has been able
to do much good work since it be-
gan the fight few years ago and has
succeeded, along with the efforts of
the state board of health in pro-
ducing the number of consumptives
in Kansas 80 per cent. And a num-
Der of registered nurses are still at
work.
To Sell 10000 in Topeka.
The sale of seals in Topeka is being
conducted under the charge OF the
Topeka Health Nursing association
and the sale will benefit the assocfa-
ton. Mrs. Kate E. Pierson has super
vision of the sales and the associa-
ton expects to dispose of $4,000 here
in the city.
The Public Health Nursing associa-
tons will also have charge of the sale
of seals in the following cities: Kan
sas City, Wichita, Lawrence, Atchison,
Leavenworth, Galena, Newton, Hutch
inson and Winfield. These are the only
cities having Public Health Nursing
associations.
In all the other cities and towns the
school children and club women will
push the work.
If the full 100000 seals can be sold,
it will enable the State Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis to put more nurses into the field,
enlarge and press it's activities and re-
duce still further the annual toll of
the white plague in Kansas.
The school children are being reach
ed through the city and county super
intendents of schools in each city and
county of the state. Already over

ivory carxers Of Canton.

There are in Canton, China, about
forty shops in which articles OF ivpsy
are made and sold. Each shop is
small; it consists usually of show.
room that opens to the street, and a
back room where the cutting is done.
The industry falls into two stages
cutting and carving. says an English
paper. Tusks imported from Siam con.
stitute the raw material. These are
first cut by saw into shapes that are
suitable for the carvers to work on.
The cutting apparatus consists OF a
wooden block or wise, a saw and tub
OF water. The workman fixes the ivory
firmly in the wise, moistens it with
water and cuts it to the desired thick
ness.
After the cutting is finished. the
workmen carve the pieces into shape
with knives Of many different kinds.
All OF them, however, have short
blades and long handles made Of bam'
boo. The carvers also use saws made
of wire and gimlet worked by a
twirling apparatus of leather.
There are only few expert ivory
workers in Canton; in fact, there are
said to be only six of them. An expert
carver seldom works in the shop that
employs him. He generally works in
his own house, and can earn about
thirty dollars a week in Canton cur
