Counting up his available funds, he
found that he could get to London, but
if he received no acquisition there he
would be short Of his passage money.
Again he Tipped the coin to determine
if he should take this added chance.
Again the risk won.
\ few days later Ryerson stepped
into the office of the London paper that
had contained the ad. and told his
story.
Have you the sketch?" he was
asked.
He at once produced it and was
offered any price he would ask for it's
use. 1t was surely a likeness Of the
party sought for and the only likeness
eXtant. It's publication would be of
great help in finding the original. Ryer-
son told them that they could have the
picture for any price they chose to
pay. and they drew a check for a hun
dred pounds.

finding the original Rycrson would re-
ceive the 1900 reward in addition. in

When making angel cake be sure
to beat the whites of the eggs stiff.
until you a turn the dish upside
down and the whites of the eggs will

In baking bread be sure when rising

Missionaries to Face War PeriIs.
In spite of the war seventy-seven
young men and m have volunteer
ed to go out as foreign missionaries
and have been appointed by the Pres
byterian board of foreign missions.
This is the largest number to be sent
from here in years. 1t relieves great
worry on the part of the officials of the
board, because it was feared that the
hazardous conditions in many Of the
foreign countries where missionary
work is carried on and the danger Of
ocean travel would have quite a differ
ent effect.
These volunteers gathered in New
York city to attend the nineteenth an
nual conference of the board of foreign
missions and newly appointed mission
aries.
Seven newly appointed missionaries
of the board of foreign missions by
special invitation also attended the con-
ference.
All of these new missionaries will
start for their new fields of labor either
this summer or early in the fall. Most
of them will go by way of the Pacific.
Four of the G missionaries will go
to German West Africa. The countries
to which others will go and the num-
Der assigned are: South Brazil. one;
central China. three; Hainan. three:

Bible In Chinese Schools.

The recent observance of the centen-
NAL of the American Bible society
lends especial interest to its report for
1915, shortly to appear. This report
will show that 2.5oO.OOO copies of BIZ
bles or parts of Bibles We're distribute
ed last year in China alone.
Concerning these there is an interest
ing story to relate. \. Chinese phiIan-
%thropist. 1ung Tao. purchased 5000
New TcStamentS to give to friends.
These were distributed last year. Each
book contains Il presentation slip bear
ing the words. "Rcspectfully presented
by Yung Tao. who is not q church
member" Another slip contains some
excellent advice to the reader and then
several we'll chosen quotations from
the Bible.
The agent Of the Bible society called
on Mr.. Yum" at his home in Picking,
and Mr.. Yung returned the call at the
Bible House. The agent records his
judgment that Mr.. Yung is an humble
follower of Jesus Christ. fully imbued
with his spirit. though not a church
member. Mr.. Yung told the agent:
Il have only Just started on my work
of Bible distribution. | intend to put
copies in every school in the whole Of
China and into the hands of every
teacher and official"
At the same time the SOciety'S agent
reports that. owing partly to war on-
ditions. but principally because the ap-
preparations have been reduced. he has
been obliged for the present actually
to stop printing books and will soon
have to stop the distribution of the
books already printed in some parts of
the country. The stock of Scriptures
has been nearly sold out.
The Bible society thought it a sig
! niticant and touching fact that one
missionary in China who is personally
far from rich sent in Il centennial gift
of $144 in gold to New York. Officers
of the society limited that there could
be no better example set for Chris
tians in America interested in the BIZ
BILE society's work.

Novel Methods of Warfare.

In ancient history there are two we'll
authenticated instances of wild ami
mails being used by attacking armies.
The first is related by Appian when
describing the siege of Themiseyra. in
PontuS. by Lucullus in his war against
Mithridates. Turrets We're brought up,
mounds were built and huge mines
were made by the Romans. The peo-
Pile of Themiseyra dug open these
mines from above and through the
holes east down upon the workmen
bears and other wild animals. togeth-
err with warns of bees. The second
instance occurred in England when
the Danes and Norwegians We're at
tacking Chester. held by the SaXons
and some Gallo auNiliaries. After
adopting stoning and boiling water de-
fcnses in vain against the besiegers
the SaXons threw down all the bee
hives in the town upon the attackers,
who We're soon routed.

Hints For Campers.

Following are two recipes used for
Waterprooting tent canvas: Before ap-
plying the mixture, the material must
be washed to cmov all starch. When
dry immerse the cloth in Il solution of
one part soap and five parts water;
then dip it into another solution of
II part copper sulphate in five parts
water and let it dry.
Another preparation is made as fol
lows: Boil three ounces of yellow soap
in II pint of water and while it is
hot add two and One-half pounds of
yellow Orler, one ounce tprel'ine and
three pints of boiled Oil. Apply rs a
paint.
\. fact worth knowing is that match.
cs can be made waterproof, without
injury, by dipping them in very hot
paratlin. Allow them to cool and they
are ready for use. The pnratiin does
not interfere with their use in the
regular way. and they are absolutely
protected from dumpnesS.
