Useful Chinese Saucer.

The saucer plays an important part
with tea drinkers in China. A few
leaves of the best tea in the world
for the Chinese never let the best
quality leave the dragon empire-are
put into a small bowl or large cup
and boiling water is poured over them.
The inverted saucer fits into the bowl
or cup and covers it until the brew has
stood five minutes. When uncOv-
cred, the bowl or cup is set into the
saucer, which has circular depreS-
sion in the center, into which it fits F:
this holds the cup stationary, and pre-
vents splitting. If tea is prepared for
more than one person, it is poured
off into handleless cups, set into china
or metal holders.

trained womanhood, the organized
Motherhood of all America with f.
nancial resources to protect child life
to safeguard women in industry, to

heart of the Fereign Speaking home,
and to create loyalty and faithful
ness to Prohibition and Christian

Other organizations may need to hew

Hkismetu and "Mizpah."

Kismet is the Turkish word gismet,
derived from the Arabic verb gisma,
to divide. It's meaning is fate, or APP
pointed lot, and it is the key word OF
the fatalism of the Turks and many
other orientals. 1t is useless to strive
against Kismet, what has to be will be /;
therefore take things easy, eat and
drink. for tomorrow we die, is the eX-
preston of this fatalistic belief. MiZ-
pah is Hebraic, and means q beacon
or watch tower. The word occurs first
in Genesis $40, which see for poeti-
cal significance attributed to it.

DisraeIi on Character.

In all lives there is crisis in the
formation of character, wrote Disraeli.
It comes from many causes, and from
some which on the surface are appar-
emily even trivial. But the result is
the same; a sudden revelation to our
selves of our secret purposes and a
recognition of our perhaps long-shad-
owed but now masterful convictions.

ondon Free From Floods.

London, owing to it's wise embank-
ment schemes, is free from the peril
of floods, which annually menace
Paris. But it was not always so.
Stow tells many woeful tales of floods,
when "men did row wherries in the
midst of Westminster hall" and great
numbers of folk were drowned. The
historian also notes, however, that the
floods had minor compensations, since
after such tides one could take had
docks by your hand as they float aloft
on the waves"

All Success Has Its Price.

Do you wish to become rich? You
may become rich, that is, If you de-
sire it in no half way. but thoroughly.
A miser sacrifices all to his single pas
sion; boards farthings, and dies pos
sessed of wealth. Do you wish to
master any science or accomplishment?
Give yourself to it, and it lies beneath
your feet. Time and pains will do
anything. The world is given as the
prize for men in earnest; and that
which is true of this world is truer
still! Of the world to come.-F. w. Rob-
ertson.

When Love Comes.

AS long as you don't love anybody
much, your character is like gar
den in winter, one virtue is under a
glass shade, and another is covered
over with straw, and all of them are
dreadfully pinched and sickly. Then
love comes by and it is summer and
your garden rejoices and blossoms
like the rose, without your bothering
about it at all.-Ellen Thorneycroft
Fowler.

KettIedrum Is Old.
By the court,
H. r. Axelberg. Judge
Walsh g. Morris Attorneys.

The Greeks and Romans danced to
the accompaniment of the tympanum
from which our modern kettledrum
has been adapted-but failed to apply
this instrument of percussion to war
fare. and it is not till the seventh
century that the MoOrs and Saracens
of Spain introduced the drum among
European soldiery, having themselves
acquired it from the Hindus through
Persian traders. The ancient word
"taber"-or as the French call 1t
"tambour" denotes the origin, the
Persian word for drum being tabir.
