When sickness pas-e- s by to knock at some oiler door, iv hen home is the one sweet, safe corner in all the world, when there are tho-- e who would suffer that you might go free ah, then it is easy to feel as if nothing could ever make you quite discouraged. This is a beautiful world, and there are lots of good things iu it. Y'es, many a son, and daughter, a few w ives and moh-ersand about the same proportion of husbands and fathers, do live more in the shine than in the shadow of life.

Who can doubt that heaven sends them thoir fortitude? It cannot be of earth. Such strains of heart and brain as hearts and brains do still bear up under! Is it any wonder that weary hands sometimes fall despondingly, and weary heads bow discouraged? Oh, ye whose paths are in the pleasant places, whose faith was never tried by heavens seeming disregard of your prayers and tears, who never knew the lack of tender home love and protection, exult in your happiness, and thank Providence.

That night he snored like the sough of a bath tub, hewed invisible food, put a stoeeato intlammatus at the end of each snore and seared two little motherless children awake with his stentori-ou- s recitals.

There are no laundrymen in China. No linen is worn there. The rich use silk and woolen undergarments,, and the poor wear woolen or cottm. As starehingaand ironing are unknown, tho female servants do all the laundry work. The reason of the great number of laundrymen here is that when the Union Pai'ilie railroad threw hundreds of Chinamen out of employment they cast about for something to do, and there was a great demand for washerwomen, and a scant supply of them in tho West, the Monguiian turned his attention to her trade. He learned it so quickly and so well that he stuck to it, and made so much money that the calling soon became popular. Gradually the laundrymen came East, and no'city, and now few villages of any size in the whole country are without a Chinese laundry. A Great Genius.

Making a bright tire of karroo bnshes and fresh train ligs, a wad of mealies was soon simmering over the coals, while the odor ol Cincinnati bultong pervaded the tropical forest.

Afterdoing this he returned ana proceeded with the cuisine. We had hardlj swallowed our supper, when Mr. Riley Haggard was about to climb a date palm to secure a few luscious lecture nates, when our eais were saluted by a most unearthly mul ear piercing roar from the heart of the jungle. At this moment our faithful Ylaug Ylang enme with eyes stick ing out like a sore thumb to annouueo that our bird dog had flushed a large Abi sinian lion.
