More than twenty years ago a youag gill_ named Mary Morrell Offered her- self as a missionary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Because she seemed so young and timid and because she had a slight impediment in her speech, the • board, hesitated to send her; abroad, but it finally did so., .When the Boxer Revolution in China broke out, Mary Morrell and two other ' mis.siouaries who had fled to a certain, compound were surrounded there by' the Baxers. Chinese troops had been detailed to guard the compound and ostensibly to protect the. missionaries, but secretly had been told to "do noth- ing" The tumult and .threatening in; . creased.

The train has heft the city, and it swings out too the country,, To the lonely open spaces and the wild bowers that t love; We are speeding to the Seashore, to the hilltops, and the moorlands, To the sweet air of the oountry and the drifting clouds above.. ,l'he train has left the city for the 'glory of the hillsides Where through the swaying branch- es the summer sunshine peeps; But over in the corner a lady does her knitting, And sitting here beside nue an old Ivan snores and sleeps. Their thoughts are with the city, and they find no' dreaming wonder In the Egret gli>npS'e of the country and the `first sound of the sea; They do not knoyv the liilltaps; or love the lonely moorlands, They are children of the city,' and their hearts are never free. The train has left the city, and the country, lies° around us, We swing on through the valleys past the rivers cool and sleep; We have left the gloomy city for the glory of the hillside, But the lady goes on knitting, and the old man's,:sti11 asleep. CONSTIPATED � {r C N �IPATED CHILDREN Tl T W • World's Largest Cave. So far as is now known, the United States can lay claini to"'having the largest caves in the world, and first among these is, naturally, Mammoth Cave, IC'entucky. It is only about eighty-five miles from Louisville.: Up- on visiting its depths it is easy to see how the word :mammoth is coupled with its natural name, for parts of it have been explored for a distance of over 150 miles and maps madeso.that the guides themselves can't- get loot. The main, body of the cave is only about three miles long, yet parts of this -section furnish the famous halls and domes, some of which are 175 feet. wide and 125 feet high: This great cavern has many small lakes and rivers, the best known of these being Echo .River, which rever- berates an echo to an untold distance, repeating the sound of your voice until only a whisper is,heard at the last. The fish in this and the other boogies of water are white and have no eyes. There are also crickets, bats, flies, beetles, spiders and other queer blind debt ;to the 'United States, according creatures to be found here, and it' is interesting to watch them when they are taken out into the light. Being blind, their movements are quite slow and cautious when dotnpared to their kind that live out in the open. Instak ing a hike through this world's largest' cave the guides light up the way so that many beautiful things can be seen, such as the Star Chamber, where the 'lofty ceiling is studded with snowy crystals that glisten like diamonds. When white men first die coveredMam- moth Cave they found many stone ar- rowheads, pieces of torches and other relics which indicated that.it had once been a meeting place for the Indians, and for all we know countless num- bers of war dances may have taken place in the famous Star Chamber . just mentioned. ' Fingal's` Cave Remarkable. The largest cave in Ireland is Fin gal's Cave, situated on the Island. of Staffa, off the coast, and originally formed by the constant washing of the waves. There is very little room to hike around in this cave, for most of the floor is of ,vw ater, but when the sea is calm a nice boat trip can be taken into its -depths. ` Fingal's Cave is 42 feet wide at the entrance, 22 feet wide at the end and 66 feet high, which, of course, makes it seem quite small af- ter speaking of the. Mammoth Cave, but it must be remembered that this cavern was. -formed by the waves of the sea alone, .so this fact makes it very remarkable. England and Scotland have many caves, though most of them are small. Along the rocky coast of Scotland can be found caverns formed by,the waves, but in the -Peak Cave, Derbyshire, Eng- land, there is much of interest. One peculiar thing about the English caves Is the marvelous relics found there, Peak Cave having furnished the greater number. When first explored it contained fossil remains of rhinocer- oses, lions, hyenas and other wild beasts now found only in parts of Asia and Africa. This seems to indicate that England was once a tropical coun- try. Stone axes, hammers and other implements also were found, showing that the people of that day lived in caves. Peak Cave - is not a very large one, as it is only about a mile in length and 600 feet below the surface. The deepest cave known in the world is one found near Fredericks, hall, Norway, it being 11,000 feet. Think of it, almost two miles deep! But it is worth the trip down into its depths, for many of the wonders of nature are to be seen there. .The Immortals of Prance. • The Frenchacademy is the oldest of five academies constituting the In- stitutt' of France, having been found- ed in 1635. It is composed of forty members elected for life, and known as the "Forty immortals." They rank as the leading Frenchmen of :their time in literature. Their judgment and decision in all disputed literary matters are final. MAMMOTH CAVESnow Balloon Fabrics AreTested.

None' of the peculiar formations of the earth are more interestingthan caves, and many are the adventures that have been had by the explorers of these often mysterious caverns,. The very word "cave" seems to have a strong attraction for everybody. Some of the best and most interest- ing stories have been written about adventures in eaves, so they have al- ways been well advertised on our. library shelves. And then we must remember that caves were the only homes of many people' who lived in the undiscovered parts of the world thousands of years ago, and this in it- self adds much historical' lnttrest to these natural tunnels under the sur- face of the earth.

Ycu weaken it when you worry, when you over -work, when you do not get sufficientsleep, and when you are under -nourished, either because you do not eat the right kind of ;food .or, because your ,digestion is out of order. You preserve your power to resist disease when you keep good hours and eat proper food at regular inter- vals. You further increase and strengthen resistance to disease when you build up' your blood. and nerves by the occasional use of a tonic like Dr. Williams Pink Pills, which are free from opiates and harmful drugs of any kind. The value of these pills as a health builder is fully shown by the experience of Mrs. E. C. Taylor, Idauoaer, Ont., who says: "At vari- ous tinges since I was a girl of fifteen I have proved the value of Dr. Wil- liams Pink Pills. At that age I was in a much, run down condition, suffer- ing .from . many of the well. known symptoms of anaemia. My mother procured a supply of Dr, Williams Pink _Pills,. and after taking about a half dozen boxes I was restored to normal health. Again after my mar- riage, and before my boy was born, I felt miserable and again took Dr. Wil- liams..Piek PilIs, which once more met all my 'expectations and fully re- stored my health, My latest experi- ence with these pills was following an attack of pleursy, which let me com- pletely •broken :n health. Part of the tine I was un-ier the care of two doc- tors, and. for three months I was prat tiealiy bet vee.n` hfo and death. Again at my motlfei"t" stiggesticni T started the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills. I had nbt been taking them long before I could tell that they were helping me. Day by day I could feel my strength returning, and was soon enjoying good health once mare-- In view of my ex- perience I thin=s I can safely say there is nothing in the way of medi- cine better than Dr. Williams Pink Pills. .

Tommy had been giving his teacher a good deal of trouble, .Finally, the Subject of nature was broached to him. To the teacher's joy, he became brisk- ly curious about insects; particularly moths, and said be wanted to get some books about them. One day the teach- er saw him sitting at his clesk, intent- ly studying the book, but with a scowl of hopeless perplexity on hie face. "What's the trouble, Tommy?" asked the teacher. "I went clown to the library," Tom- my answered, "and got a book about insects, and I don't understand what it insane. I can't make any heador tail to it."

There is one language of the tongue and another of the heart, and the second is the more important. 7;he .Canadian Tommy in France oftet found himself unable to exchange words -beyond the briefest greeting or the expression of the elemental needs of . life --with those among whom he came, from a far, strange land, Butactions were louder and mere intelligible than speech. The people knew from his kindly face and his outheld hand that they had no- thing to fear from this Canadian sol- dier. He came not to steal or -de- stroy; hecame to help and to play the part of a friend. The traveler in °a land held by sav- ages is under a constant surveillance. The aboriginal folk are wondering v. hether he is the advance agent of a great many more, who are •coming to take what through the ages has be- longed to them and to their forbears. He is on trial, and the burden of proof rests with him. If he goes with the modest, courteous, considerate de- meanor of a Farabee traveling through Amazonia, he has nothing to fear—for he has done nothing to cre- ate 'fear. When Stanley went to Africa or Roosevelt traversed South America, or King -lake made his jour- ney in the. East, each of these voyag- ers encountered unfamiliar tongues; but there are always ways in which one . human being makes himself understood by another, no matter how distant the points from which they came. The variety of languages is one of the marvels and mysteries;yet ylee- yond the grammar and the etymology there is forever a fundamental fact that men are brothers in the blood, bound to help and to serve one an- otherin time of need. Hunger, thirst, sickness and weakness speak for themselves. We can tell when our brother has want of our aid though his appeal is mute, or, inartifcul;ate, or in an outlandish tongue. The animal pets we make and learn to love do not talk to us—in words- and they use no language that we recognize -with one another. "The dumb brlites," we sometimes call them. Yet when your dog stands at, your knee and looks up. at you, how eloquent are his eyes! His friendship proclaims itself in a speaking silence; his whole attitude is loquaciousof his fondness and his loyalty. Two are friends when they have learned to interpret aright the silences that -fall between them. They know that the understanding is complete and that words are unnecessary to an explanation. It is a relief when one mayy without reservation trust and be trusted, though nothing is said. We might, indeed, learn from our Fumble dependent the dog a valuable lesson of implicit -faith that does not need the medium of writing or of speech. A Disappointing Monarch. The obituary dotes of Mrs. "General" Toni Thumb have • generally omitted the incident that attended Barnum's success in inducing Queen Victoria to allow the Lilliputian "general" to be presented to her. The little wife was allowed to ac- company her lord, but was not per- mitted, the honor of being "received.". In a`gap. in the conversation the nasal comment of Mrs. Tom Thumb,. who resented the discrimination; sounded' from the background "My, but ain't she shabby for a queen!" This is to certify that fourteen years ago I got • the cords of my left wrist nearly severed, and was for about nine months that I had no use of my hand, and tried other Liniments, also dot tors, and was receiving no benefit. By a persuasion from a friend I got MIN- ARD'S LINIMENT and used one bot- tle, which completely relieved me, and have been using MINARD'S LINI- MENT in my family ever since and find it the same as when I first used it, and would never be without it. • ISAAC E.

He had written: "Once upon a time a man came to a town , with a bear in a dage. The little boys in the town threw stones at the bear. The man grew very angry, -and said: "If you don't stop throwing stones 'at my bear I'll open. the dDoi of his cage and he'll come out and oat you up!' " The little boy, growing tired, finish- ed his story as follows: "And so they did, and the man did, and the bear did!" Canada's fishery value, 1870-1919; was over a billion. is,sug No. 30-'20.

The rector was discussing the Par- ables with a sniall,boy, and said he as- sumed, of course, that the boy had heard of the Parables. "Yes, sir," answered the boy.
