MISSIONARIES
The Laymen's Missionary Conven
tion of Oregon, to meet in Portland,
February 13-16, and which is part of
a nation-wide movemont to arouse the
energies of Laymen of all evangelical
churches in upwards of 80 of the lead
ing centers of the country, will prove
of importance to all the world.
As the result of conventions held in
other cities, there is much informa
tion. At St. Louis, actual gifts to the
work totaled upwards of $6000. Christ
Episcopal church enrolled the larg
est number of delegates (113) alt
Cincinnati, and the Walnut Hills
Baptist church enrolled its entire
male membership 77.
A member of the convention com
mittee at Toledo requested that he be
put in touch with his national de
' nominations! leaders, so that he and
his wife might guarantee the support
of at least five missionaries.
The ambition of Los Angeles is to
secure 5000 delegates. From Minneap
olis comes the information that the
Lutherans are making preparations
for the Convention there to a greater
extent than in any other city.

STRATEGY OF A SCOT.
Ru by Which th Laird o Cockpen
Cam Into Hi Own.
"Brose and Duller" that Is, porrldKe
and butter Is an old Scotch tune of
which Prince Charles, afterward
Charles II., was very fond. The laird
of Cockpen when Charles was at Tho
Hague played the air for the prince
the last thins at night and the ttrt
thing In the morning. On returning to
Scotland after the restoration the laird
found bis estate bad been forfeited for
bis attachment to the royal cause, and,
sad to relate. Charles, forgetful of
Cockpen's services, refused to interest
himself In his faithful follower's peti
tion to have it returned to biro and
oven refused bun an audience.
Tbe laird, with the pertinacity of his
race, resolved to achieve by stratagem
what be could not by direct uppeaL
While In London Cockpen formed an
Intimate scqnalntanceshlp with the or
ganist of tbe Cliupel Royal and pre
vailed on him to allow htm to act as
bis substitute at n service at which tbe
king was to be present. Obtaining his
consent, he played tbe regular tunes
for the service. Wbeu dismissal time
cumo he played the king's old favorite
melody, "Brose and Butter." ,
On bearing It Charles weuded bis
way to tbe organ gallery, where be
found his quondam courtier, whom be
greeted with a touch of tbe old famili
arity, remarking, "Toil almost made
me dance." Quick to seize the oppor
tunity, the laird responded.. "1 could
dance, too, if 1 had my lands back
again." Charles' better nature awoko
under tbe power of the music and the
old memories it recalled, with tbe re
sult tbnt the laird received bis own
again. Edinburgh Scotsman.
MEXICO CITY POLICE.
Always Ready at Night to Answer a
Clap of the Hands.
In Mexico City eueh of the 5,000 po
lice who won for it the reputation of
the most thoroughly patrolled city in
tho world carries a lantern underneath
his capo. After a certain hour, when
traffic has virtually ceased, the police
men put their lanterns in the middle of
the roadways at the Intersections of
tho streets,
Then they go luto the nearest door
way, sit (town und prepare to spend
the rest of the night at their ease. If
you want a policeman you simply step
out on the sidewalk and clap your
hands. Immediately with tbe sudden
ness of genii one appears from either
aide. Handclapplng, by tbe way, is tho
universal method of attracting atten
tion in Mexico. To Insure wakefulness
on tbe part of the police any one who
brings a lantern or a policeman's cs
to the nearest police station gets SS.
which is deducted from tbe negligent
patrolman's monthly pay.
. In some cities the system of "keeping
tab'.' on policemen Is different ICvery
hour the sergeant at the statioii goes
to tbo door and blows his whistle. Tbe
man on the nearest beat immediately
responds. Number two follows, and so
the whistle passes through tbe entire
forco and comes back to the station. If
one whistle is missing the man who
has tbo preceding beat investigates and
reports at headquarters. Tbo speed
witb which tbo hour can be blown and
tho watchfulness of the force deter
mined is astonishing. Youth's Com
panion. The Czar ball.
One of tho beat known bolls In the
world has, strange to say, never been
rung that known ns tho Czar Kolokol,
or tho cznr bell. This bell Is said to be
tho largest anywhere. There is an In.
foresting history attached to It. When
It hud been cast attempt wns made to
hung It ho that It might be rung, but
by an unhappy chance It broke from
Its supports and fell to the ground,
wherein It made a cront hole, Into
which It sank and lay for many years.
Finally, after more than a hundred
years of oblivion, It wns raised and
placed In a public sn.ua ro In Moscow,
where It now stands. This bell weighs
more than 410.000 pounds und is more
than nineteen feet In height nud sixty
feet in circumference.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we cat too much and all our food
is rioh. Our blood is filled with urio
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and a 'general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps of
lrnd; your back hurts or tho urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during tho night; if you sudor with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weutlier is bad, get from your phar
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonfiil in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined with
mum, ana has ocen used for generations
to Hush and stitmilnto clogged kidneys;
