AN UNCOMMON COM.
MON MAN.

Once on time there was man.
Who ALWAYS from his youth
Made friends Of Continuity,
OF Honor. Thrift aud Truth;
His name was Patient Industry
Frugslity. his place.
Was always bright with 'chesrfulnsss
And winning hOmelv grace.
Economy. his bosom friend.
Kept his expenses down.
While Stinginess and Willful Waste
We're banished with frOwn;
Discerning Hospitality
Was present at his board.
Aud Worlhiness in any guise
Was treated like a lord.
He did not fellowship Debt.
Knew not Extravaganza.
To Speculation. Greed and Craft
Gave not q single chance;
Aud while to schemes chimercal
His mind was ever dense,
He always kept in ready touch
With quiet Common Sense.
He rose at dawn and went about
The work he lad to do.
Was kind alike to man and beast,
To good traditions true;
His wife and children we're his friends
He made his neighbors glad.
And only when Inc saw distress
Was his demeah0r sad.
He was useful citizen,
Believed In human rights,
Kept out of heated arguments
And steersd az clear Of 6ghts;
His character il radiant
With Truths effulgent beams.
But he. alas! root and branch.
A creature Of nv dreams.

~ Sympathize."

In the evening at Mercy hospital you hear from all over the house the little bedtime voices, and the sound blends into something sweet and dear which hardly forms itself into words. To you who have not heard it, it would seem the strangest sort of music, coming from all the wards and rooms and balconies around you-on the lower floor, on the upper and sounding up and down the stairs wherever you might be. It is just the quiet little chatter of many, many children ready for sleep, and the doctors and nurses have heard it every night for 20 years, and they wonder why it is with child love so ready to respond to q call like that of little Helen Keller, the crowded wards at Mercy and yet so little known to those who say-"1 Sy1npathize." ."-Mercy's Messenger.

Poverty a StimuIant.

The stings of poverty are often the incentives that stir to action. A fellow will bestir himself mighty hard before he will starve. And if he has the right self-respect he will go the limit before he will resort to charity. All over the land there are men looking for fellows with the right metal for big enter. prises. When they see fellow trying to make good they usually see that he gets the chance. In the hustle for bread and butter habits are formed that often lead to marked efficiency. Necessity often starts movements that result in untold good. What is com. pulsion at first often becomes privilege and pleasure later on.

Bloodhound Not Fierce.

No real reason exists for the com mon belief that the bloodhound is q fierce animal, ready to tear the per son whom it may be tracking to pieces. It is, on the contrary, rather noted for its gentleness, even seeming timid, un- less specially trained to attack. The origin of the breed, according to Count Le Couteulx de Canteleu, an au- thority on the subject, is from St. Hubert of St. Hubert's abbey in the Ardennes. It dates from the earliest ages, and the breed certainly existed in the time of the Gauls.

Young girls and small women both will be interested in this model. It IS youthful in it's lines and is altogether charming and attractive while it is simple at the same time IIcrc, 1t is developed in plain soirtc silk over q dotted silk and the combination is a very good one, but one can Vary the materials many times. TaIleta could be used instead of the soirtc or one of the pretty silk and wool crtpos, and the guimpe or blouse could be made of Georgette crepe or of crepe de chine, as best suits the need of the individual. The blouse is perfectly plain one in, kimono style so that there are only the under-arm and sleeve seams to be scwcd. The back of the over bodice is joined to a yoke and the pointed ends of this yoke are extended over the fronts. The skirt is made in four pieces with plaits at the front and plaits at the back but plain at the sides. It gives becoming lines and 1t flares gracefully and fashionably If it is desirable to intensity the Jared effect, cord or with an inter facing of some one of the many stiifening materials that are on the market A smart effect and a novel enc could be obtained by facing the skirt with trimming to match the blouse or guimpc Facings of such sort alv. much liked and always are attractive. Full skirts sway witk each movement of the body and the facing or lining is clearly visible When contrasting or trimming material is used, the facing becomes an ornamen- tai feature in place of a merely prosaic necessity.

If a Chinese family can live on $780, cor

Brother Jenkins tells us that this Embroid-

years, and that it is now sef-sustaining with

The exception" is the biggest thing at the
Mission.
One hundred Chinese experts, at the wage
Of $3.50, amounts to $4,000 a month, or
$500 a year. Brother Jenkins says they
often pay these experts $500 month, not,
apiece, but for the whole hundred.
One lady missionary gets $50 month, and
If Sister Emma should marry another mis-
sionary, the twain will draw 500 month
In other Words each missionary is paid
nearly twice as much as ten expert Chinese
workers; and, when you consider free houses
to live in, and other perquisites, each mis-
sloaary does get twice as much from our
churches, as the missionaries pay ten Chinese
