` THE GOLDEN DAY.

There are two days in the week up-

on which and about which I never worry, two care-free days, kept esc- redly free from fear and apprehen- sion.

One of these days is Yesterday.

Yesterday, with all its cares and frcts, with all its faults, its mistakes and blunders, has passed forever beyond the reach of my recall. 1 cannotundo an act that I wrought, I cannot un- say B, word that I said on Yesterday. All that it holds of my life. Ol wrong, regret and sorrow, is in the hands of the Mighty Love _that can bring honey out of the rock; and sweet waters out of the bittercst des- ert-the Love that can rrakc, the wrong things right, that can turn weeping into_ laughter, that can give beauty for ashes. the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. lov of thc morning for. the woe of the night.

Save for the beautiful memories,

sweet and tender, that linger like the perfume of' roses in the heart of the day that is gone, I have nothing-to do with Yesterday. It was mine; it is God’s. '

And theother day I do not worry

about is To-morrow. Tomorrow. with all its possible adversities, its burd- ens, its perils, its large promise and poor performance, its failures and mistakes, is ns far beyond the reach of my mastery as its dead sister, Yesterday. lt is a day of God's. Its sun will rise in roseate splendor, or behind a mask of weeping clouds. But

'it will rise. Until then, the same

love and patience that held Yester- dayholrls Tomorrow Save for the star of hope that gleams forever on the brow of Tomorrow, shining with tender promise into the heart of To-

v Prwlil of Great Value to Me”

There is only one cxplsnziiion for the

numbers- of enlllnsiasiic letters that we receive praising !\':i-Dru-Co Il_\'r-prpsin Tablets, and ibut is that tlicsc- tnbicfs cert:i.inly'do cure any kind of stoilinvh trouble. _

llerc is n typical lcilcr from Miss

Eliza Anuswortby, Clinso, N.S. :

"If is with pleasure I write i_o infortu

day, I have no possession in that un- born day of grace. All else is in the safekceping of the Infinite Love that holds for me the treasures of .Yester~ day, the Love that is higher -than the stars, wider than the skies, deep- er than the seas. Tomorrow-it is God’s day. It will be mine.

There is left for myself, then, but

one day of the week-Today. Any man can fight thc battle of Today. Any woman can carry the burdens ol just cnc day. Any man can resist the temptations of Today. O friends, it is only when, to the burdens and cares of Today, carefully measures’ out to us by the Inlinite Wisdom and -llfight that gives with them the prom- ise, ‘As the day, so shall thy strength bc,‘ we wilfully add the burdens of those two awful eternities-»YeeterdaY and Ton-iorrow--such burdens as only the mighty God can sustain-that wr break down. It isn't the experience of 'Poday that drives men mad. It is the remorse of something that hap- pened Yesterday, the dread of what Tomorrov: may disclose.

These are God's days. Leave

with I-lim, "7""

Therefore, I think, and I do, joiirncy,ahut one day at a time. is the easy day. That is the mau’s day. Nay, rather, that is Our day (iod's and Mine. And while faithful- ly and dutifully I run my course, and work my appointed task on that day of Ours, Cod, the Almighty and the A11-loving, takes care of Yesterday and 'l‘oniorrow.-1t.d. Burdette.

THE CI-IINAMEN'S VIEW OF LOVE

th ein

and l That

Perhaps there is no greater differ-

ence existing between the Chinese and the American people than that bc tween their ideas- o_f love. ‘ln fact wr Chinese do not believe in love, lor wt are not sickly, sentimental crcatiircs, but cold, philosophical, fatalistic bc- ings. We arrange our matrinioniul affairs through hard reasoning and not through the tender passion.

'l`o us marriage is 0. serious busi-

ness of the head`and not a light :if- fuir of the heart. In these nmiriino- niul transactions we apply the most rigid, keen, calculating bnsincsspriu- ciplcs, and that is why we arc so successful in the marriage enterprise, _ss we have never been huncocil by Cupid at the game of love.

We never pay homage at the altar

of this stupid, brainless, _vcllow kid, the disturhcr of peace, the brcnker oi ll'-‘i1l`lSl. the destroyer of homes and the promoter of affinity stock coin- panles. We cannot tolerate his pres- ence in China, as China is not s land of lovers. -Consequently the cool, quiet hours of our mid-summer nights are not disturbed or spoiled by hot air from the wooing and cooiug ol sentimental creatures.

We don't believe in love, for love

is not the greatest thing in the world. It is not even 5, thing nor substance. It i5 Simply the product of an idle brein. the outgrowth of n drowsy inind. It is inconstant and unsub- stantial, for its quantitirc and quali- tive character changes with thc changes of scenery and environment, and its drawlngnnd binding power in- creases or decreases as the square of the distance between subject and ob- ject increases or decrcnscs, as thc case may he.

Love is the antliitlicsis of reason,

for man sees with reason and only nel! Wltll love, and it in the most violent form ofbralnstcrm. Love is ii 9YmPtom,0( a disordered brain, as u nightmare is 9, symptom of a disor- dered stomach. It is n llcnllly conta- zloue disease, for it turns the stronr- est head and makes the wisest mnn a fool. Indeed, there is no fool like an old fool-who is affected with amo- ritis. .When a mnn has coritrnctfwl this l'ove disease and is under its ln- fiucnce l1e’acts ln the most idiotic manner and perforins all sorts of nnt- lcs, all of which he entirely renonnces and renudlntn when ho is nee from "Il hypnotic spell.

Now are we peculiar because we do 'Wt BRPGO With you in regard to the idea of love? But alas! the world is

tt: the old-tingle proven ideas are last giving away to the new, and our young people are being converted to, the worship of the blind rod. and from now on there will likclv he more love in‘our courtsbips and di-_ vnreesin our vmifrlmony.-Ng. Pooh.

S0. ‘lor cvcry year sees an increase in the nlunbcr of women who are cn- tcrln: the trades and professions and taking part in public life. While thc cinployu-rzil. of mon has increased 20 pci' ri-:it :luring the last twelve years 'ii Gcriuuii_v thc eniployment of wo- .nrii hr..- li\.ci'cnscd 57 per cent in thc snuic timer. ' '

/\cr.ii'illiig to the ‘Queen' a full third

of the economic labor of the Gorman Empire is at present carried on by women. Statistics show that there :irc $1,500,000 wage earning women in (jerinuiiy, which means that a very large proportion are contributing to the rilpillly increasiiig wealth of the country. 'li The rcpcul of thc law forhlddiiig

women to attend political meetings or to join political societies, which had been in operation in Prussia and llavo.i‘iu. has increased the political spirit unioug women and has done much to advance their aims.

Thc iiijustjce of this law did more

than anything else to open women’s :yes to their position and to stimu- lute them to`:igltaic for the elemen- tary rights oi joining political assoc- iations. The most reactionary and the liitterest opponent of '\vomen's rights' could but admit its glaring coiitrndictions.

While it forbade women to join po-

litical societies it nllowcri them to form associations for the purpose oi vlcctions; while they were not per- mitted to be present at political cou- fereuces they might arrange or bn present at public meetings convened .or political objects. It was necessary to resort to absurd

subtcrfligcs, aa, for instance, to sus- _uind a meeting wliilc a woman ad- dressed it and after she had finished to declare it open ngnin. Moreover the women in the States where thcsc laws existed could not be prevented from becoming mc-nibcrs of political societies under neighboring govern- ments. ai ` Aftnr the npprnl of the law all poli-

tical societies made haste to solicit women's support and co-operation; they were nominated to responsible oiliclal posts, as members of execu- tive comniittces of political associa- _tlons and they were entrusted with dilllcult work while questions of spe- cial importuiice to women are now pilblicutioiis. lt is however, a signi- ficant fuct that the majority have held aloof from men’s societies, and under the leadership of brilliant wo- men are strengthening and consoli- dating' their own.

l’ANAMA'S TERRACED LAWNS.

'ily the time the Panama canal ls ouerated the ships may sail through terraced green lawns instead of the barc yellow earth slopes now in evi- dence. ’l`hc reason is not altogether nn aesthetic one, though the attrac- tion of sailing on a big ocean liner through such ascene might well in- duce a le-.1 extra passengers to take the trip, just as the run up to San- tos or the entrance to Rio de Jan- eiro is sufficient excuse for 5 voyage from Europe.

It is believed that sowing the slop-

ing sides of the canal through the cuts with n strong grass may pre- vent the slides now so frequent, and will reduce the wcziring down by the tropical mins. H. Pitticr, an ,ex- pert hotanist from the Smithsonian Institution, has charge of an attempt to test this theory, for which pur- .posc the agricultural department at Washington has sent down several thousand pounds of grass seed.

Even though it be impossible to

prevent entirely thc occasional big slides, it seems almost certain that the measure will result in a great

TURNIPY TASTE IN BUTTER. ; The best cure is to take immedi- ate measures to prevent the flnvluf from developing, This can be don~.< by crirnfiilly regulating the qiiantityl of turnips to cows.

‘ HEALTH BY ALPHABET.

Some calm and collected person re-

mfnds ns every little while. in the midst of a world of doctors’ patients and devotees of health fads, that many of us have like Liza, “Only ourselves to blamef' for our troubles. "How do you do lt?" we ask hope-

NOTHING EXTRAORDINARY.

A native of rirrmnny wus visiting

nn American friend in New York, and the luitcr lictlioiiglit himself to take his guest on ii visit to Niagara Falls. The American, uccustomed to bursts

of woudcrnicnt and enthusiasm, was not n little astonished to see his Teutonic friend stand and gaze stol- iilly minutc after minute upon that roaring cataract, without evincin¢ the faintest sign of cm0ti0\‘l. Finally, unable any longer to con-

ccnl his clingrin and disappointment, the American turned to his compan- ion and asked: “Don't you think tliat's a wonderful eight?"

.°'Vot'.”’ asked the Dutchman. ' "Why, that gigantic body of walter

pouring over that lofty precipice.”

The Gorman stood for a few sec-

onds longer, until he got that idea suggested, then looked up bluntly and asked:
