Shanghai can boast two mission
aries who have spent fifty long years
of unremitting toil in this land for the
uplifting of thiB great people. They
have been in labors .most abundant
in the pulpit, as writers and makers
of books, both original and transla
ted, and as contributors to the Chi
nese periodical literature. They are
well-known, both for their work in
English and ulso in Chinese. Though
having labored for so many long
years—so faithfully, patiently, effec
tively—they are still in the work ns
devoted nnd enthusiastic to-day as
when they first came to China. One
of them is an evangelist. Though
well-nigh eighty years old, lie per
haps does more preaching and
preaches to more people than any
other missionary in China. He has a!-'
ways labored in and around Shanghai.
Last year he had his heart set on re
ceiving at least one hundred converts
during the year. For this he labored,
preached nnd prayed. He had the
pleasure of receiving a few more than
one hundred new converts. Encour
aged by the success achieved last
year, h|s faith has been ' greatly
strengthened, and he is laboring for
still larger results this year. For the
first three months of this year he has
had the Joy of bnptltfng fifty and re
ceiving them into church fellowship.
He la greatly encouraged and hia zeal,
entiuiBiaBm, earnestness and faith are
stimulating to his younger co-labor-
The Mission Board nnd Book Com*
inittec had under conaideratlon, in
tbeir recent meetings, the question Of
establishing a branch publishing house
ia Shanghai, China. Both bodies fa
vored the enterprise, provided the
conditions for its establishment were
found, when examined.into in detail,
to be favorable. The Christian Ad
vocate, in reporting the action of the
book committee on the subject, has
this to say: ‘‘Bishop Wilson, who has
jnst returned from our distant mission
Selda, was before the committee, and
gave a full account of the condition
and needs of the work in Chinn and
Japan. A pressing need is n publish
ing house. After thorough investi
gation the committee determined to
locate a branch house nt Shanghai,
and for this purpose appropriated the
sum of $50,000. It will be several
mouths, however, before the enter
prise is launched.” We congratulate
the church, especially in its work in
China, on ti^e favorable prospects for
the house. It will be a great auxilia
ry in the onward march of our cause
there.
The Chrislless nations are those in
which the Christian religion is not
generally acknowledged as the only
true religion. The term embraces all
of Asia, portions of Africa, and Tur
key iu Europe. In these nations are
included more than one-half of the
human race. Most of their inhabi
tants are believera in and follow
ers of religions that debase nnd . de
grade them, or prevent their rising
out of their degradation. We are un
der obligations to study these Christ-
less nations aud the religions that
dominate them, that we may the bet
ter feel their need and understand
how beBt to present the Christian re
ligion for their acceptance.
The Empress Dowager of China hus
issued an edict to her people, calling
attention to the fact that all anti-
Christian movements in various prov
inces are based on false sentiment,
and declaring that Chriatian teaching
ia permitted, and that all missionaries
are to be treated everywhere as good
citizeus. This edict will no doubt do
much in preventing further mistreat
ment of missionaries in the interior.
A great and effectual door is open
in China for Christian education. The
missionaries are reaching the higher
classes in the empire. In 1898 the
Emperor ordered 168 books, covering
almost the whole realm of knowledge,
amongst them commentaries on the
•criptores and the livea of Christ, Da
vid and Solomon. Let the church'
keep her eye on China.
Of 308 missionaries sent out by the
Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society
of tbe Methodist Episcopal church
only eighteen have died—seven of
them dying on the field. One died
and was buried at sea.

Searching for a Remedy.
Savannah News.
Dr. George H. Hepworth, the
representative of the New York Her
ald, doesn’t seem to have been very
successful in’ his search for a remedy
for lynchings. In his visit to Georgia j
he found material for very interest- I
ing articles, hut ills mission nppenrs
to have had no other result.. He i
talked with the people at Newnan ,
nnd he found human nature there just '
about what it Is in New Yortf. The
conclusion he readied is thnt the nd- j
ministration of Justice must be more j
prompt if lynchings are to bo cheeked;
but that is a remedy which has been
discussed here in the South until it is .
threndbare. No doubt if the punish- !
ment of criminals were sure and j
swift by legal means there would be j
a falling off in the number of lynch- !
ings, but something else is necessary
to check the tendency of the people
to take the law into their own hands
when crimes for which lynching is the
most common are committed.
Dr. Hepworth seems to have found
out one thing, and that is that the
people of the South have a condition
of affaira to contend with that is un
known at the North, and he appears
to have reached the conclusion that if
a similar condition existed at the
North, lynchings would be as common
there as they are in the South. The
criminal element in the South, in pro
portion to the population, is so much
larger than in the North that it is not
difficult to account for the greater
number of lynchings in the South.
Some recently published statistics
show that in the North the number of
blacks in the prisons is far greater
than the whites in proportion to the
number of blackB in the'North. If a
third or more of the population in the
North were black, lynchings would be
as common there rb they are in the
South. That this would be the case
is shown by the fact that though tbe
blacks are not really in the way of the
whites there, being so few in num
ber, they are forced out of all but two
or three occupations and in the towns
are crowded together in quarters of
llielr own.
The New York Sun is still harping
on the disposition of the whites in the
South to keep the blacks out of the
offices and away from the ballot box.
The Sun cannot help knowing that it
Ib impossible for tbe two races to get
along together on tbe basis of political
equality. History furnishes no ex
ample of a superior and an inferior
race getting along amicably together
on any such basis. Why then does it
insist upon the impossible? Why
doesn’t it discuss the problem frankly
instead of contending for a state of
affairs that it knows cannot exist.
Some of the ablest colored men in
the South freely admit that there is no
future for the negro in this country on
the basis of political equality. The
two rnces' mi*y get along together,
Just about ns they are getting nlong
now, for a quarter of a century or
more, but the time will come when
the country will not be big enough
for both rnces. As the rnces increase
in number*) the points of friction will
increase, nnd hence the antagonism
will become more accentuated. It is
Just as well to recognize the situation
as it actually is. It will have to be
recognized that way sometime.

Snperwtltlow aad Its Effects.
I wish that some one would write sn
adequate Itook upon superstition and
its effects, ns distinguished from snd op
posed to revealed religion nnd it*
effects. This curse of the world, civi
lized or savnge deserves r worthy chron
icler. Walking round the exhibits in
the Agricultural hall, it was home in tc
my mind that superstition in all its
hideous pliases is perhaps the most con
crete and tangible form in which tl»
evil one manifests himself upon earth,
and I think that those who have mixed
much with native races will not dis
agree with me.
Here is an instance of its working
which lias just come to tny notice Ni t
long ago two Mata holes were tried at
Bulawayo for the murder of their grand
son, a child of 2. Poison having failed,
the boy was hold beneath the water and
drowned. The crime was admitted, but
the defense raised was thnt the chilli
hud cut its top teetli first. Such chil
dren being unlucky ami the cause of ill
luck to others, fl was customary to kill
them, and a “witch doctor." on being
consulted, had ordered that this oils
should lie put to dentil! Well, only a
century or so since tve did tilings al

It is not always safe to talk in para
bles to the yoitng, ns the following
school board story shows: A correspond
ent stntes thnt one of his pupils caused
him some annoyance by nncouthness of
speech, dirty hoots, and so on, so, suys
our correspondent: “I drew a verbal
portrait for tin* class of the man who
did not shine in the world of polite so
ciety. 'You cannot fail to know him,’
said I. 'for ho never cleans his boots
nor washes before meals. He speaks
and drinks when his month is full and
generally uses his knife in piace of his
fork.'
“Gradually the lad whom this story
wns designed to profit showed an awnk-
tning interest and put ont his hand to
speak. Iu reply to my query. ‘Well?’ ‘I
know him. 'said lie. 'He'sour lodger!’ ”
—London Chronicle.
An Addril llnrdrn.
I was taking my dinner one day nt a
mountain farmhouse on the hendwntert
of the Cumberland river, and the lady
of the iKiuse. who had four children
playing around the front of the estab
lishment. was inclined to repine at her
hard luck in having go much work to do.
"I run this hero whole farm,” she
said in a tone which indicated that she
was ready to resign. ,
"How many acres have you?” I in
quired.
“A hundred and forty—20 in wlieat,
60 in corn, 10 in medder an paster, an
the balance scat.terin an woods. w
"Got any stock?"
"Ten head nv cattle, two cows, six
bogs an work critters fer the place."
“And yon rnn the whole business?’'
"Indeed I do—every hido an hair uv
it," site sighed.
“Don’t yon hire some help?"
"In course, but 'tain’t hired help
that takes the load of’en a body. ’’ There
was philosophy in that statement, and
1 paused a minute.
“Haven’t yon got ahnghnnd?" I next
asked with a good deal of sympathy.
"Yes," she responded very slowly,
“but I huve to run him too."—Wash
ington Star.
|l« Got the Fees*
Hagai, the verger of Halifax parish
chnrch. was quite a character in his
way. He figured in several good stories
in Dean Pigon's "Phase of My Lifo. ”
On one occasion n bridegroom discover
ed after the service that he had no mon
ey with which to pay the fees.
Hagar went to the bride in hia most
winsome way and asked her: “Hust
over seen Black Bibles? We've a rare
lot on 'em in this 'ere vestry.”
"No." eho replied, not having the
fuintext idea of what a Black Bible was.
"Conm along. I’ll show yer them."
He lured her into the inner vestry.
“There’s the Bibles,” he said, point
ing to thorn, locked up as they were in
a bookcase with glass panels, of which
he hud not the key. "Wuit awhile til)
I come hack."
Ho turned the key of the vestry on
the bride and, going to the bridegroom
said, “Lass is all right, but you'll no
have her till you have paid."
Tito “brusa” wus immediately forth
coming. *
A Introduction.
An Englishman who is an enthusi
astic Alpine clubbist came in one night
to carry a friend off to r lecture which
the veteran mountaineer Whymperwas
giving at Westminster on his pet theme,
"Twenty Thousand Feet Above the
Sea." The friend could not go. for lie
was otherwise engaged, but Whymper’s
mime reminded him of a story of Hii
James Linton, the late president of the
Royal Institution of Painters In Water
Colors. He had to introduce tho well
known artist E. M. Wimperis to the
Alpinist, and he did it in the following
fnshion: "I want to make two distin
guished men known to each other. The
one is Mr. Whymper, the other Mr.
Wimperis." For hh impromptu this ie
not bad.
A llauKlit>- Reply.
A story about William Pitt I read or
heard somewhere many years ago. it ie
to be feared, is not authentic, as I can
not find it in Lord Stanhope's or Lord
Rosebery’s book. It represented a no
ble mediocrity as assuring the great
statesman with some condescension that
he might fairly expect an eurldom for
bis magnificent services.
"I an earl!" was the haughty reply.
“I make dukes."—Macmillan’s.

In experimenting with the compress

Mr. II. Sclntb has found that the great
est distance to which the sound of the

For moderate distances a pipe of about
20 inches in diameter gave the best re
sults, a slightly larger one being better
for long distances.

WOMEN’S
SECRETS.
There is one man in the Unittjd States
wlto lias perhaps heard more women’s
secrets than any other man or woman in
tile country. These secrets are not se
crets of guilt or shame, but the secrets of
suffering, and they have been confided
to Dr. R. V. l’ierce in the hope and ex
pectation nf advice and help. That few.
of these women have tieen disappointed
in their expectations is proved by the
fact that ninety-eight per cent, of all
women treated by Dr. Pierce have been
absolutely and altogether cured. Such a
record would be remarkable if the cases
treated were numbered by hundreds
only. But when that record applies to
the treatment of more than half-a-mil-
liori women, in a practice of over thirty
years, it is phenomenal, and entitles Dr.
Pierce to tire gratitude accorded liitn by
women, and the honor paid him by the
profession as the first of specialists in
the treatment of women’s diseases.
Kv5ry sick woman may consult Dr.
Pierce by letter, absolutely without
charge. Every woman’s letter which
contains her secret remains her secret.
It is read in private, answered in private,
and its contents guarded as a sacred con
fidence. That no third party should enter
into this secret, all replies are mailed,
sealed in perfectly plain envelopes, with
out any printing or advertising whatever,
upon them. Write without fear as with
out fee, to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
