MISSIONARY COLUMN.
KDITRD ItV TUB W. M. S.
“I never knew the duly of a Chris¬
tian and how much there is for a
Christian to do until I became a work¬
er iu the missionary society.” These
are the words from the president of a
society in Virginia. I)o they not find
an echo in many hearts of those who
have lately been aroused from their
lethargy andjbave become active Would work¬
ers in the missionary cause?
that we could induce every woman in
every church to become active mem¬
bers. All have some work in the
Master’s vineyard. Let us be in a
hurry ere the shades of uight approach
aud the Master calls us to our accouut.
* * *
In a recent letter to the foreign sec¬
retary Dr. Allen writes: “Altogether
your work here is iu a more encourag¬
ing condition and the results are be¬
ginning to show in a marvelous way.
You will wonder that the war which is
raging at the north so destructively is
not at all felt in its influence on our
work here. China is a queer country.
The Japs are threatening to crush the
very head of the empire, and yet the
feet of it in the southern provinces are
hardly aware of the violence that is
being offered to the body politic.
What the end is to be no one can fore
see, but no one has auy fears as to the
result on our future euterprise. Only
good and not evil will come of it to the
kingdom of the Lord and his Christ.,
We have no fears, and would that the
church could see in this opportunity an
inspiration for a nobler impulse, a
more aggressive advance.”

Miss N. E. 35 writes front
Mexico to the Woman’s Advocate:
“1 ask you to rejoice with us in the
showers of blessings which have been
poured out upon our household. Many
who had previously acknowledged the
Savior’s rule were quickened to a more
willing service. Many more were
borne into the kingdom of God. 1
cannot give the number of those who
entered the church or were baptized,
but the saved were between fifty and
sixty.”

Notwithstanding the sad scenes that
present themselves on all sides to our
missionaries, thev are happy in their
far away homes and seem to impress
the natives by the cheerful manner iu
which they perform their daily duties.
A little girl Of Durango school said to
her mother, who isi by the way, a
Catholic: “Mother, let’s you and I go
and be missionaries, for they are the
happiest people iu the world.”

THIS IS FROM ATLANTA.
That City May Be Blown Up at Any
Moment.
According to a letter which an Ala¬
bamian has written for the public
prints, the goodly citizens of Atlanta
may start upwards, temporarily, at any
minute and without warning.
This communication imparts the
startling information that there is a
regular mine of munitions of war be¬
neath some portion or other of the
Gate City, with the springs, which will
touch the whole business off, ready to
be sprung.
The Alabamian is now endeavoring
to negotiate with the War Department
for a contract to remove the combusti¬
bles and explosives. The following is
his letter referred to:

COTTON GROWERS’ASSOCIAT’N
It Gives Some Very Good Advice to
Georgia Farmers.
At the recent State organization of
the American Cotton Growers’ Protec
tiye Association in Atlanta a commit¬
tee consisting of Hon. L. II. O. Mar¬
tin, lion. N. G. Long, of Elberton;
Hon. J. P. Brown, of Pulaski; Hon.
T. J. Lyon, of Bartow; Hon. R. T. Nes¬
bitt, of Cobb; Hon. J. Lindsay John¬
son, of Floyd, and W. G. Whidby, of
DeKalb, prepared and submitted the
following, which was adopted unani¬
mously without discussion:
“To the farmers of Georgia:—Realiz¬
ing the importance and necessity for
concentrated action of all engaged in
the growing of cotton for mutual pro¬
tection, we, the Cotton Growers’ Pro¬
tective Association, iu convention as¬
sembled, do hereby appeal, not only to
those engaged in growing cotton, but
all interested iu in for their active co¬
operation in an effort to better our con¬
dition. The imports into Georgia for
1894 exceed her exports. Therefore,
there is au imperative necessity for re¬
ducing our expenses of all kinds, from
a toil of guano to a hall of potash.
“Spend nothing that can be done
without. Our home products are su¬
perior to auy. We would encourage
the establishment of factories of all
kinds, as by that means their employes
may become customers for our pro¬
ducts. The contraction of the curren¬
cy may be relieved by a system of bar¬
tering between the farmer and mer¬
chant.
“We appeal to you to aid in this ef¬
fort.
“First, by raising of supplies of ey
ery kind possible to be produced on
the farm for the sustenance of man
and beast.
“Second, by making the cotton crop
a surplus crop. of less
“Third, by the use commer¬
cial fertilizers.
“In invitiug your co-operation dues we
assure you that there are no fees,
or charges made for membership, and
no salaried officers, but each county is
left to pursue its own plan of carrying
out the plans of our organization.” the
A resolution requesting that
press of the State publish the appeal

Why a Dog Comes at a Whistle.
It is so common a thing to whistle to
a dog and to have the animal respond
thereto, that perhaps nobody ever
stopped to inquire into the reason of
the matter; but, after seme thought
and a deal of investigation, we think
we have reached a solution of a prob¬
lem hitherto unanswered, if indeed, it
ever were considered.
We take it to be a tenable theory at
the outset that the dog being an ani¬
mal of rare intelligence has naturally
the same antipathy to the piercing
sound of the whistle that obtains
among the intelligent portion of the
human race.
And right here let us say that we
consider it a piece of unwarranted as¬
sumption on the part of man to digni¬
fy his thinking powers, by the high
sounding name of reason, while char¬
acterizing the same faculty in the deg
by the depreciatory title of instinct.
We suspect if the dog were given the
opportunity to state his side of the
question he might claim that he had
the reason and man only the instinct. wholly
But let that pass. It being
probable that the dog has a natural
and congenital abhorrence of the hu¬
man whistle, it is not at all unlikely
that when the exasperating blast of
this whistle first fell upon the outraged
ears of the primeval dog it aroused a
spirit of viudictiveness with him, and
he rushed at the offender with murder¬
ous intent. In process of time, how¬
ever, while the dog continued to rush
toward the man at the sound of the
latter’s whistle, only the force of imi¬
tation remained, while its impulse had
utterly changed. Whereas at first he
sought revenge, now he responded as
to a friendly invitation. observed the ef¬
But it will be that
fect upon the dog’s temperament is
still pernicious. Undoubtedly it is be¬
ing whistled to so continually that
causes the dog to be nervous and irri¬
table, and to be subject to distemper
and chorea in his youth. older and his
When he becomes
nerves are hardened, he still is liable
to hydrophobia, which signified “dread
of water.” This because the man’s
whistle has to be wet occasionally, and
the dog, be it understood, not only
hates the whistle, but the element
wherewith it is kept in order.
We think we have now shown the
connection between the whistle and
the dog and the philosophy of the lat¬
ter’s aversion to the former, and why it
is prone to ruin his disposition and
o/erwhelm his intellect .—Boston
