It. is hard indeed to get the

en many church members to
understand the spirit of mis¬
sions and of our missionaries

turn of our missionaries in
China. They do not know
what the China missions
mean, nor tho spirit of the

Interferes r with its success if f it be
skillfully managed, c*lse one confidence
game that lias recently been played
here profitably would never have been
revived. It depends on the practice of
the United States government in re
deem! 113 any part of a torn bill for the
amount of money it represents. The
value of a part of a bill is very exactly
determined by means of r.a apparatus
which measures the fragment of the
jjjjj w jtj, the* greatest accuracy. This
mechanism prevents anybody from get
tiD £ in retl!! ' n for P" rt of a torn hill
any more than it is really worth.
That fact is not generally known,
and it Is the ignorance of the public
in tlie matter that has lately made
possible the succesh cf a well dressed
swindler who has been operating down
town. He tins with him parts of a $10
bill bearing the bill number. He ex
plains to waiters, barkeepers, cashiers
anu similar persons that lie is too busy
to go to tbe subtreasury and redeem
the bill for which be could secure the
full value. lie offers for that reason
to dispose of the torn piece for a small
sum and has succeeded in getting from
$5 to $7 for fragments of a bill that
could never be redeemed for more than
half those sums.
The purchasers, of course, bad confi¬
dence in the mistaken theory that the
full value of a bill would be paid at
the treasury for any part of it, bow
ever small the section might be. By
dividing n $10 bill into five or six pieces
and selling them on such liberal terms
this form of swindling may be made
very profitable.—New York Sun.
A SnprcEt Court Jest.
An eminent lawyer, one of the most
eminent in the United Slates, was in
the midst of an argument in defense of
P a t en * rights of ids client to n
newfangled collar button that was be
ing unlawfully manufactured by the
people on the other side of the case.
The distinguished counsel was
ing the patent referred to and its many
advantages when Justice Shiras inter¬
rupted him and in a most serious man
ner observed:
sel •‘^hould if his client lSlicto manufactures ask thelearr.ed a collar coun
button that won't roll under the bed.”
Of course llie court was shocked.
Some young people in the seats re¬
served for spectators tittered, and the
marshal, rapping on his desk with his
gavel, roared. “Silencp In this honora¬
ble court!" The eminent counsel main¬
tained his gravity, although his soul
must have been deeply stirred, and had
presence of mind enough to turn the
Incident to bis own advantage, saying
with emphasis:
“I have tiie honor to inform the court
that the collar button manufactured by
my client is unique ia that ns well as
In other respects, but my client would
not he so selfish as to patent so impor
tnnt a benefit to mankind.’’—Chicago

Wrctie with Tilts brohle .1,
Here is a little genealogical problem
which perhaps some of our readers can
solve. A man writes to the Liverpool
Post, saying: *’I have, like the rest of
human beings, two parents. They in
turn had each two. These four grand¬
parents had each two, and so on. Now,
If we take on an average four genera¬
tions to a century 3.1 generations have
passed nway since the time of William
the Conqueror, and by file simple proc¬
ess of multiplying two by itself 33
times 1 find that at the date of the Nor¬
man conquest l must have had
1)14,082 ancestors of that generation
But this Is eight or nine times the to¬
tal population of the globe at the* pres
ent day and must he fully 30 or 40
times the total number of human he

Novel Cure Fop Semtlckness,
Oxygen is tbe newest cure for sea
sickness. The remedy comes from
Paris, where two physicians have been
engaged for some time in the attempt
to lessen one difficulty in the way of
American visitors to the exposition.
Nor could any more welcome service
he rendered. Tlie first step toward the
Invention of a new remedy was to de¬
termine what seasickness really Is.
The conclusion at which those wise
doctors arrived Is that “the great and
sudden disturbance of the viscera and
tlie contraction of the diaphragm are
the principal causes of seasickness”
Oxygen, they accordingly decided, was
tlie logical remedy. The proper course
for the traveler, then, according to tlie
New York World, is to provide himself
with a supply of tubes containing pure
oxygen. At the first symptoms of sea¬
sickness some of the oxygen should be
inhaled, but only through tlie mouth,
the nestrlls being kept closed. The in
halations should be long and made nl
