has reached England from the leper village of Chandag, India, where Mary Reed, a solitary white woman missionary, is giving her life to ministry to the sufferings of her fellow lepers. o DIES OF BURNS Mrs. Alex Kistler, 50, of Larwill, died in the Lutheran hospital at Fort Wayne. Mrs. Kistler was burned while burning trash in the dooryard five weeks i ago. She is survived by the husbam£ three children, an aged mother and two brothers. o » care of Palme. Palms are hardy things which may i be grown in rooms for years with good results. Keep them near the window so that they may get plenty of light. The best soil for them consists of three parts of fibrous loam, one part each of leaf mold and decayed loam, and a tenth of coarse sand. The ordinary watering rules don’t apply to them; they should only be watered when the pot rings hollow under the hand, and at no other time. During, mild showers, stand them out in the rain for an hour or two. as this cleans and freshens them and opens the pores of the leaves. - o Child's Idea of Rain. Children are not naturally Irreverent, though they sometimes say things that rather shock the grown-ups. A little Brookline girl of five was asked by her playmate what caused the rain »nd she replied in perfect innocence, “Don’t you know? It’s when God is taking abaft and splashes the water out over the tub.’’“Boston Transcript. o Communing With Herself. One day while mother went to town Bobby was left in grandma’s care, who. always being alone, had developed the habit of thinking aloud. Aft>r watching her going about her work, talking to herself the while, Bobby innocently asked: “Is you tellin’ yourself someslng, grandma?”

Australian Railroads Multiply. Drought in Australia, as famine In India, is no longer the dread enemy that it was. Railways have multiplied, making the movement of stock to unstricken areas comparatively easy, though expensive. All the states keep accurate records of each day’s rainfall and this Information is posted daily for all to see and is easily available to the owners of the re- I motest stations. So a man threatened by loss of stock through drought may keep his finger on the rainfall of the whole continent and know where he may send his stock if he gets no rain himself. o Savages Use Iron Ore. Explorers have been astonished to find in the wilds of Africa savages acquainted with the getting of iron from the ore and working it. To smelt the ore they use a primitive furnace of baked mud, with charcoal for fuel %nd bellows to obtain the required temperature. It seems altogether likely that the knowledge of these processes was originally derived In prehistoric days from the Arabs and Phoenicians, who then, as in later times, overran most of Africa. O The inevitable. If there’s any smart aleckitude In a young man it’s likely to crop out when he meets you In a revolving door. —Kansas City Star.
