A cut is made in a young branch and a wedge put in it to keep the surfaces apart. A bunch of sphagnum moss is then fastened around the stem over the cut, the moss being kept wet. As scan as the young roots appear on the outr.ide of the moss the young branch is cut off and potted up. Ficus clastica, the rubber plant of our houses, must produce seed in its tome, tropical Aria, but it does not at tain a size sufficient under cultivation in greenhouses to do so often. St. Nicholas.

Trying to teach him vou!d be like talking to a block of wood. Cigarettes are poisenous. A boy who smokes cigarettes can't learn anything. His mental facul ties are blunted. His physical being is wrecked." Professor Wilkinson, school principal. "The poor fellow was a complete -vreck (a high school boy.) He could act get his mind on anything except L'igarettes. He couldn't study, his eyesight was effected, he was hag gard and pale, he was nervous and dejected, he couldn't remember any thing longer than a minute, he was bevond redemption. He left school." Professor Coy, high-school princi pal. "Boys who smoke cigarettes are always backward in their studies.

In China, old things are pas sing away so rapidly that it seems difficult to exagerate the changes that are taking place. The emperor, through his father, the prince regent, has confirmed the promise of a con stitution and has set a date for its adoption ten years hence. In view of this, orders have beeen sent to the governors of provinces to give the people in structions in self-government. Railroad construction is being pushed with all possible haste to give easy access to Pekin by the time the first legislature is convened. Telegraph lines are being extended, the postal ser vice is growing by leaps and bounds; the currency system is to be developed on a modern basis, and for the first time a census of China's, hitherto un counted millions is being taken. The army is being drilled in modern methods and a new navy has been planned at a cost of $100,000,000. In Pekin water-pipes are being laid in the streets, a new system of sewerage is being installed, roads are being macadamized and an American electric com pany is equipping the city with an up-to-date telephone system at government expense. Nor is the progress in mate rial things alone. It is along social and intellectual lines as well. A great campaign against opium has been inau gurated and signs are not want ing that Chinese women are coming to their own. Many anti-foot-binding societies have been established, and women's clubs are being formed. Dailj', weekly and monthly papers and magazines are multiplying with great rapidity, a new sys tem of public instruction is be ing inaugurated, and schools are springing up all over the Empire. The intellectual awakening is not confined to any class or section and is said to be the most profound and far-reaching the world has known since the Revival of Learning in Europe five cen turies ago. These reforms, however, are not being accomplished with out opposition. There is a strong reactionary party, and China is still in the throes of a conflict which will either make world power with a voice in the world's affairs or sink her once more in Oriental lethargy and stagnation. To missionary bodies work ing in China the present edu cational crisis affords an une qualled opportunity for domi nating the new intellectual life of the Nation. In view of this special emphasis is being laid on education. Those societies that have done little along this line are opening schools at all their stations; those that have educational plants already in operation are enlarging them and bettering their equipment. Through a great forward move ment, launched in London last year, the sum of $500,000 is also to be raised for this work. Churches and schools are re ported full, and many of the students in the colleges are of fering themselves for the ser vice of Christ. The women, too, are becoming more and more useful in the work. At the Chinese National Christian Endeavor Convention in Nan king last May the quiet-hour services were entrusted to Miss Dora Yi, a modest, unassum ing Chinese girl, who conduct ed them with great power. From central and northeast ern China come wonderful re ports of a great wave of revival such as was never known be fore in China.

The cause of Rheumatism and kin dred diseases is an excess of uric acid in the blood. To cure this terrible disease this acid must be expelled and the system so regulated that no more acid will be formed in excess ive quanities. Rheumatism is an in ternal disease and requires an inter nal remedy. Rubbing with oils and liniments will not cure, affords only temporary relief at best, causes you to delay oroper treatment, and al lows the malady to get a firmer hold on you. Liniments may ease the pain, but they will no more cure the Rheumatism than paint will change the fibre of rotten wood. Science has at last discovered a perfect and complete cure, which is called "Rheumacide." Tested in ! hundreds of cases, it has effected .the most marvelous cures; we be- lieve it will cure you. "Rheumacide "gels at the joints from the inside," sweeps the poisons out of the system, tones UP the stomach, regulates lhe livcr and Sidneys and makes you well all over.
