IN OUK NKW FIELDS.
The Philippine Islands and the West
Indies nre important new fields just
opened to Protestant Christianity.
The Philippines, in the l’neifie ocean,
southeast of China, are several hun
dred in number, with a population of
•even millions. Manila, the chief eity
of Luzon, the principal island, has
one hundred and sixty thousand in
habitants. Situated on the left bank
of the river Pasig, the city is sur
rounded by walls built by Chinese la
bor about the year 155)0. The busi
ness purl of the city is on the oppo
site side of the Pasig, the two being
connected by a bridge. The popula
tion Is very mixed — the language
Spanish.
The West Indies, now under the
protection and direction of the Uni
ted States, are southeast of us, and
are surrounded by the waters of the
Gulf of Mexico and the Carribbeau
Sea, and the Atlantic ocean. Puerto
Ric., the most easterly of these islands,
is very rich and lias a population of
eight hundred thousand. Its principal
city is Han Juan, with twenty-three
thousand inhabitants. Cuba, the lar
gest and richest of the West Indies, is
only about 100 miles south of the
coast of Florida, nnd is not quite as
large as the State of Tennessee. The
island is divided into six provinces,
viz: Pinar del Hio, Havana, Matan-
zas, Santa Clara, Puerto Principe and
Santiago de Cuba, the capital of each
province bearing the namo of the
province: as, lluvana of tiie province
of Havana, Santiago of the province
of Santiago, etc. Cuba has been un-
dor the oppression of Spanish rule
and Roman Catholic religion from the
time of its discovery till tho recent
Cuban war, excepting a very short
while in 1702, when it was in possession
of the English. Finally, after centu
ries of Spanish oppression, tyranny
and cruelty—reduced to a state of
starvation—they rebelled, and fought
for, and with American help gnlnod
their independence of Spanish rule.
Of the million and a half population
at the beginning of tho war, there is
now only about one million. Tho
population is made up chiefly of Span
ish, intermingled with other races,
and called Creoles. They have no
general school My stem, und the com
mon people are very ignorant and il
literate, but are willing to learn.
The fact that the Cubans owe their
freedom to American arms gives the
American Christians easy access to
them, and the fact that Cuba is so
near places great responsibility on us.
Our churcli now has four preachers in
Cuba, and they have been there but a
few months. Rev. Goo. N. McDon
nell and Rev. Y. I. Barrcdo, stationed
in Havana; Rev. II. W. linker at
MatanznB, and Rev. II. B. Someillan at
Santiago. They have been gladly re
ceived, nnd the outlook is most en
couraging. We have only one mis
sionary in Cuba to every 250,000 in
habitants! In view of the urgent
needs of the Cuban field, wo ought to
raiae the full nrnount of our mission
ary assessment. If this wore done,
the board of missions would be able
at once to send preachers to all the
principal cities and towns of the is
land.
There is no way so sure of tho high
er happiness as in forgetting self and
remembering the needs of others. It
is the lesson of life—this knowing how
to give from our own store, spiritually
and materially—not alone “what we
give, but what we share.” If the heart
is heavy, do something for somebody.
It may be the first lesson in so sweet
a mission, but it will lead you into
broader fields.
There is no use in asking God to
bless the world unless we are willing
to bear some part of the expense our
•elves.
Pnul knew that Christ could save
the whole world, and that made Him
want the whole world to know it. Do
you?

“It is a surprising fact,” says Prof.
Houston, “that in my travels in all
parts of the world, for the last ten
years, I have met more people having
used Green’s August Flower than any
other remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged
liver and stomach, and for constipa
tion. I find for tourists and sales
men, or for persons filling office po
aitioos, where headaches and general

A correspondent of Popular Science
News tells of a party of Alpine climb
ers who. having spent live hours among
(lie snows of tiie mountains, returned
to their homes after dark A great
change had to all appearance taken
place sinoo tho night before. Instead of
being illuminated in tiie usual way,
tiie place was supplied with green
lights.
It took the travelers a little time to
realize tiint they were suffering from
Daltonism, or color blindness, superin
duced by eye fatigue. The intense light
caused by tho sun shining upon the
snow had for tho time rendered them
unable to judge of colors and given rise
t<> their curious mistake. Three hours
elapsed before tho eyes regained their
normal condition.
Ghevrenl explains that the eye can
not gaze long upon a given color with
out tending to become insensible to it.
When tho eye looks long upon n color,
it should be rested by the complemen
tary color. Thus an eye that lias grown
tired with green should be rested by
red, which is green's complementary
color.

had advertised his goods, there came
unto him great multitudes from all

saying: Howbeit that this man is busy
while we loaf about our doors? And

of push nnd hustle, it is easier for a

The Eclectic for June opens with n
clever essay on tho “Murder Novel”
of the present day, under which title
Mr. John M. Robertson describes the
historical romance of the period. An

“Did you sever your connection

course, I know that office boys are
discharged and general managers
sever their connections, but I can’t
be sure that I was high enough to

to think that I was low enough down

“While walking around my farm 1
came across a copper colored snake
about 2}-* feet long. I struck the rep
tile a blow on the head with a stick,
and. to my surpriso, the sako fell apart
in four pieces. Near by was a hole, and
into this the head went. and. nlthough
l worked for half an hour trying to get
it. I failed. I then exnmied the body,
which was as hard as if had been froz.en.
nnd, as far as 1 could discover, it was
entirely lifeless. Thinking it was a
jointed snake. I left the pieces of the
body on the ground und went to the
house. Shortly nfterwurd 1 returned,
but the portion of tho body that 1 had
left disappeared and no trace of it could
be found."—Cincinnati Enquirer.
