Good Housekeeping keeps up its reputation, and is good to keep in every house. A LINE received from G. S. Brown says the Normal School at Tuskegee, Ala., for training colored youth to become teachers, has received from Boston friends $7,000. It has 225 pupils. Mr. Washington, the principal, is a graduate of Hampton Institute, Va. We wish it all possible prosperity. THE San Francisco mission works for other churches, and for the State. Most of those who embrace the truth there go to other places to obtain work where they can keep the Sabbath of the Lord. Several Scandinavian brethren there are now in want of employment. This is the season for work in the country, and they who want faithful laborers will do well to secure them. Good Health, for January, 1886, appears, full of good matter, as usual. It comes out with a new title page; but as it proved a little sensitive when we spoke of its former title page, we will refrain from expressing any opinion of this—not even to tell what others say about it. We think there is no other monthly published which gives so large an amount of first-class, valuable reading matter for $1.00 a year as Good Health. It deserves large success. THE Auckland Evening Star is a good-looking, well-conducted paper. A number before us gives quite a long description of the Seventh-day Adventists and their work. It closes with the following announcement:— "Mr. Edward Hare, Turner Street, off Upper Queen Street, has been appointed the Auckland agent of the society represented by Elder Haskell. The latter gentleman intends visiting Wellington and the more southern districts of the colony before returning to California."
