A Missionary Gives His Experience of the Way It Is Done. Almost every one who has friends in mission work in India- knows that one very important function of the missionary is to play the part -of matchmaker -to, his flock. But few, if any, have heard of the conditions being reversed, and the flock turn ing màtdhmakèr for their mission ary. That does occur, however, as the letter written by a missionary who lives at Tuticorin, south India, India, tells : On New Years Day, 1911, as was seated in my little mud cottage at Tuticorin, a number of people entered the veranda and ceremoniously ceremoniously came into my. room, bearing trays of flowers, fruits, raisins, and sugar, which they placed at my feet like suppliants who desire to gain the hearing of a petition. After all due ceremonial etiquette had been observed, and I had indicated my willingness to hear their petition, Brother Gnana Draviam, a prominent prominent lawyer in Tuticorin, began reading in Tamil an address, to which the others gave strict attention. attention. It ran like this: "Reverend Sir. You have now for 1 nearly two years bestowed great care and labor upon us, ministering to our special welfare and striving for the health of our souls to such an extent that you have greatly impaired impaired your own physical health ; and we feel that you need some one to care for you, since you do not care for yourself, We fear lest your zeal in our behalf may deprive us at once of your life and services. Therefore, with profound humility and sincere respect, we venture to request^ you to marry à good woman, woman, who will both care for > oU and help, its." This was naturally a confusing thing to happen ; but I was bound to respond to such an eloquent appeal, appeal, and when ^he applause died away,' I rose, and answered considerable effort : "Your affectionate regard for my welfare is so overwhelming tnat I have no words in which to express my appreciation," and sat down, quite faint from the exertion. But the novelty of the situation, over came my fatigue, and turning to one of the elders, I asked, if they had any particular person in mind os one who would be willing to become become my helpmeet, and be equal to all the responsibilities they had outlined. outlined. Immediately Miss W.'a name was mentioned. "But," said I, -I don't believe she would have me. .This seemed to me like matchmaking matchmaking with a v engeance . What a highhanded highhanded act, to be sure ! To order their pastor to marry, and then to choose the girl besides ! But the worst was still to come.

Here are two tests that "you can make very easily : Fill a tumbler with water, drop in a lump of white sugar, cover it with >a-saucer, and let it stand overnight overnight on the bricks at the side of the range, on the kitchen mantelpiece, mantelpiece, or, in fact-, anywhere where the temperature will not sink below below 'sixty degrees. If next morning the contents are clear, the water is pure. If, on the other hand, the liquid is cloudy, some source of contamination is indisputably proved. The. second test is to drop a few grains of permanganate of potash into a tumbler of water, cover, and let it stand for an "hour. If the water water is still of the bright rosy color to which the chemical turned it, it is perfectly safe for drinking ; if it is of ll brownish color, it is impure, although the impurity may b e of the kind that boiling will rob of its. power to harm. combined with the Western imethod of courting, as in our case, to secure secure the best results. *-- LIFE'S ROAD Death Nearly Sew Brunswick Lady Was St: Restored to Her Anxious.

Many young boj's and girls, especially especially those who have grown Kill rapidly, give much concern to tneir elders by their inability to hold themselves properly, or to stand and walk correctly. Too often the family tries to improve matters by nagging, a practice that spoils tempers, tempers, but never straightens shoulders. shoulders. The misfortune of a poor car- riage must be dealt with according to the individual case ; there is no invariable theory of treatment that is applicable to all cases. When a boy gains four or hve inches in a year, he uses up a great deal of strength in mere growth ; his stooping shoulders and sagging ■spine mean that the back muscles are not yet strong enough for their new work. The first thing that is needed is proper and systematic ex- ere is 6 to 'strengthen those mu sCa.es.

This is of the utmost importance, and an additional additional benefit can be obtained by pulling the bed away from the wall, if onlv for a few inches," to allow a free circulation of air alt round. An excellent plan is to sip hot water at bedtime, not too much of it, but as hot. as it can be taken. It is not advisable to put spirits into it, as in that case the dose has to be increased increased before long, in order to maintain the good effect. A hob bath, <?r putting the feet into hot water, is of great use in many cases. On lying down it is a good plan to take rlong, deep, slow breaths for five or ten minutes, continues Dr. Musgrove.
