In this case the parentS couldn't find the hyena so they brought the child after several hours to the medical missionary.

There is no safeguard for babies the world over, motherlove, the Es- peranto of human emotions. But even that power is not proof against the force of superstition. Women who are now Christians admit that they have used a heavy grub -hoe to tear and cut to mincemeat the faces of baby girls, thereby turning aside the wrath of devils who curse their family with too many girl babies, Some of these women have cast out even boy babies to be eaten by the village dogs with the idea that sick boys are demons in disguise, bring- ing care, worry, and .debt.—World Outlook, DabY, bin In vonntriee where nation by taking them 4WaY brought ns as Turks.

Plan Japanese Railways. Narrow-gauge railways have , their day in Japan and, as rapid' possible, will be supplanted by regulation width of track existin England and the United States. I no longer a question of talk, Baron Coto, president of the perial Railway Board, hasea scheme that will be introduced in the next session of the diet. According to the Tokio Yomi standardization of the Imperial R ways will be quite different from plans originally advocated to rebt the entire line in twenty-five yea This would involve an expenditure o *450,000,000. The new pnegranara will be much more expeditious but 1 likely to encounter opposition in th two houses of Parliament. The p sent gauge of three feet and six ches will be increased to the sta ard width of four feet eight and half inches by adding a rail op o side, as was done by the Erie Ra road in the plaited States svlaen it duced its gauge from six feet to t standard. Naturally this will involve the n.ewaI of many wooden ties for whi it is expected 75,000 pieces will needed. Dr. Srima, chief of t Works Department of the Railw Board, asserts that the present ro ing stock can be rapidly transform to the new gauge by substitution wider trucks. Only 5,953 feet tunnels in Tonsbu, the main island Japan, and a few bridges will ha to be changed. These need repai even under the present system. Th eituipment at present consists . 2,035 locomotives, 4,851 passenge cars, and 29,491 freight ears whir need change—in all 36,477 engines and cars, Traction, power on the widened gauge will be increased 40 per cent, In point of speed, the highest limit at present is fifty miles an hour, which under the improved roadbed and rolling stock will be increased to seventy miles an hour. For example three hours will be saved between, Tokio and Kobe. The new scheme will begin in 1918, Every effort will be made to avoid interference with current tretffic. Bussitifts Peace City. Brest -Litovsk, or, to give it its Polish name, Brzesc-Litevski, is Coming once more into face as the piaee of conferee of the Germans with the Bolsheviki. The name Brest means "the elra city." In a military sense, this city on the Russian fron- tiers Of the old Polish Kingdep, has undergone all kinds of vicissitudes. In 1241 it was laid waste by the Mongols, and was partially burned, more than a hundred years later, by the Teutonic Knights. Another cen- tury saw it entirely destroyed by the Khan of the Critnea The Sweet have captured it, and the Poles been defeated in the neighborhood by the Russians, who held it until the last great drive of the Germans forced them to retreat along an, immense front. Napoleon, in his disastrous retreat from Moscow, must have had bitter memories of the city, into which the pureuitag Russians drove one of his demoralized armies under St hwarzenberg.

For instance, not only your drving-horse and buggy, but the single harness, blankets, whips, curryconabs, brushes, horse -shoes, pitch -forks, feed -bins, etc. In their place you have a speedy, dependable) dignified, roomy Ford Car ---complete in itsel. It is vastly superior to the narrow, cramped buggy that travels so slowly. .And when a Ford is standing idle it does not eat three meals a day, and it requires no "looking after."
