It is a waste of time to pray for the conversion of sinners in the street while no preaching is being jone to the shiners In the church. Without great faith In something great character Is Impossible. The man who makes children's books is the real leader of the nation. When tlie heart sings the music is always good, no matter who makes it. The Lord loves a cheerful worker about as much us lie does a cheerful giver. Without the good mother there would never have been a good man in th* world. , The Bible declares that nabobs are not made out of any better clay than other folks. The Lord has made every sparrow a pledge that lie will take care of His own children. There are some preachers who never try to do anything for the Lord until the church bell rings. The greatest trust ever formed in this world is the one that is formed at tlie mother's knee. When you know what the devil Is most against you know pretty well what God wants done. If there is a heaven for fools, the man who expects to be saved on his wife's church membership will be there on a front seat. CURB FOR CHINESE EDITORS. All-Serin* Yamen In Pekjn Makes Misstatements and Goxalp Perilous« Not long ago some Chinese gentlemen witli horse tails depending from their official bonnets saw to it that an of fending editor was right properly flogged with bamboo roils—100 lashes were the editor's portion, the New York Sun says. These gentlemen had no pri vate grievance; they were simply put ting the new press laws of China into operation. Last year, when everything in China hummed with the news of a changing order, when the old empress dowager announced from her dragon throne that site would have a constitution in Chinn within ten years or know the reason why, and when the boycott against Jap anese manufactures was arranging the features of a national movement, some of tlie native papers played fast and loose with ancient decorum. They even criticised the government. That called for action from high sources. Some yamen in Pekin whose province it is to look after things as they ought to lie In tlie internal affairs of the-em pire sent a taotai all the way to En gland anil Germany to study how the governments there handled obstreper ous newspapers and called In for ad vice a former minister to Berlin.

It was put into operation Inst May and the tone of a great many native papers has dropped about two octaves as a result.

An interesting though not entirely convincing example of municipal econ omy comes from New York, where a piece of property stated to be worth about $N0,000 was wanted by the mu nicipal powers. The owners asked $:k'U.OOO. and the condemnation pro ceedings awarded them $252,000, where upon it is claimed tlie city “saved” $79.000.
