" Among the missionaries who last year. returned to Canada for a rest on furlough, was Kristen Borup, of Mont- real, who has had six years' service in Uganda, under the Church Missionary Society, in charge of practical work He is one of three brothers, Danish born, engaged in 'mission work. He established an industrial home in that land of intelligent and adaptive peo ple, and gave young natives a three years' course in handicraft. The print- ing presses, set aside after the death of McKay, were refitted for productior of books, and thus the Christian cause was greatly promoted. The making of bricks being taugh® the first substan- tial fouses and other Lndidings wera erected. These included 'ap hospital and church houses. Carpentery was a main study. As his apprentices lived with him, Mr. Borup trained them in- tellectually and spiritually. His most signal work was the erac- tion of a cathedral at Mengo, the cap ital of this interesting land of repil conversions. Fourteen kinds of brick 'Ladies' English Rainproof Coats T he new season's smartest, made from the best materials by expert operators, well cut, carefully finished.

Food is plentiful in Uganda, but the country requires an annual hut tax cf $1, as a revenue to meet the most eco- nomical administration. Mr. Borup lately took back with him from Aw. erica cotton seed, for a test of its pro- ductivesoil, with a view to creating a cotton growing colony. This may make it a land of plenty and industry instead of a community of idleness and ease. St. Matthias' congregation, West: mount, Montreal, support this" zealous missionary, and must be proud of his usefulness and accomplishments. The Sort Of Girl He Wanted. "I want to see about getting a ser vant," said the married-looking man to the clerk of an uptown intelligence office. "Aren't you the gentleman who was here about a week ago?" inquired the clerk. "Yes. "Wher "Gone." "Well, just tell me what qualities are needed and I'll see ii I can get somebody who will suit. You'd like a good cook, of course ?"' "1 suppose "And some one with skill as a laun- dress 7"* "It wouldn't He a bad idea." "Look here! Suppose you give me an exact description of the kind of gicl vou want instead of letting me do the guessing. is the girl we sent you?' sO. "Let me see," was the pensive se joinder. "You'd better send one who is 'about five feet four inches high, weight in the neighborhood of a hun- dred and thirty pounds and rather short-waisted." ment and then added : "Would vou mind telling me what you discharged the last girl for?" "We didn't discharge her," he said sadly. "She left. My wife's bicycle wouldn't fit her." : The Latest Heathenism. _ Col. Henry Watterson, in a lecture in St. Louis, said that.large cities should hold elections on Sundays. Church opposition to such a Frenchy innovation would probably prevent ita adoption, even if here were any mack- ed agitation in favor of it. Sunday elections would bring out a far larger vote, and it might well be called "* a work of necessity." Church members could still their conscience - with the thought that the better the day the better the deed. What greater work of the Lord, they might ask, could a church congregation do than march in a bbdy to the polls with the pastor at the head and cast their ballots for righteousness, something lamentably scarce in election controversy. » citizenship turned out on a Sunday to vote, it would easily outnumber the tough element, even overawe it; or if not suffer martyrdom and. smashed hats in a good cause; Most men who don't 'vote think they are too busy. With Sunday as a voting day they would be deprived of this excuse. [I the United States keeps on the even tenor of its way it will reach Col. Wat- terson's ideal as set forth in the argu- ment above. The Sunday saloon is in full play at St. Louis, and an elo: tion is not many worse. Ii would not be so personally bestial and degrading, but it would involve ten times the number of people.
