Wherever missionaries' and mission
worker# have gathered together and dis
cussed the Chinese alauatlan, the unan
imous opinion among them iisar been that
thcra alioitld be no permanent vlth
-trnwnl from and abandonment of the
Ottlneae Held It may he neceasary to
suspend the work there temporarily, un
til matters become settled; then It la the
purpose of the Christian workers to re
sume their labors, no violently Interrupt
ed, are I pursue them with vigor.
It Pact been asserted in rertaln quarters
that the missionaries wera largely re- 1
sponsible for the fioxer outbreak; that
they had no business In China; that they
taught a religion obnoxious r<* (he Chi
nese, and that their very presence was
disagreeable o fha natives. "This
charge," says the Rev. Judwon Smith,
foreign aecretary of the American Hoard
of Commlns toners, "strikes hack to One
who brought a heavenly glory to the I
earth which rejwid him with a cross and
a crown of tborne, und charges him with
folly, and seems to cover with shame the
brightest pages of Christian history, the |
noblest names upon the bcadrutt of Ull
age*. ’•
Secretary Smith points out that the mla- '
etonnrle* were hi Chin* with China’s ,
knowledge and consent, enjoying plainly ,
stipulated treaty rtghta. "They have not
forfeited those rights; they are guilty
of no disloyally; 'they have enjoined !

ly fellowship sitli the natlva communi
ties wherever they rartdo. China has
mad* no complaint of them; ehe has not
asked for a revision of treaties in order
that who might be freed from their pres
ence.
’Missionary work has received a set- j
hack, but tt Is only temporary. When
tha resumption of work will come cannot
he accurately foretold, but Secretary
Smith doea not believe It will be long de
layed. And then, he aays, "unless all
sighs fall, this day of bloodshed ami loss j
hr sura to be followed by an tinmens# on- |
•argement of our missionary opportunity
In China. And for this the churches j
need at once to gird themselves. When
we went to China with the gospel It was
to stay and to conquer; an.l nothing but !
happened to change our purpose. And 1

hitilKt A All TRUTH.
Are women untruthful? Io they qualify
their regard for veracity as It applies to

matter, as In all others. Tho critic of her
sex. It Is safe to assume, classes herself
among the exceptions, and lonabteci
therefore that she has * right to criticise
those of the majority.
Tho critic In the case Is Miss Dora
Goldthwalte, of Near York. At a meeting
of the Rainy I>ay Club In the Carnrgle
iiulldlng In that city recently she said,
among other things: "Women regard
truth adjecttvely aial believe It ratable
of positive, romp-arwltve and superlative
degrees. The fault Is not really In the
woman, you know, but In the idea. It la
not so much their Intention to deceive as
their desire not to *nfffrid Rather than
aay something disagreeable they resort
to a half truth, which la often worse than
a downright taradiddle."
It could be hoped that Mias Goldthwallc
had gone on to elucidate the full meaning
of the new noun, "taradiddle." In the
lack of such elucidation, however, and
consblcrlng the connection In which the
word la used. It can only be assumed that
what a woman calls a "downright tara

are untruthful, they are ld>m wilfully or
mall' lously so. They fall Into the qualified

mouths shut "in fact.” she says, "women

that is the pith of the whole matter. If
one (annot say any thing good, it Is better

womankind to please, especially the op

club women, but to women as a whole.

This Is a matter upon which the wise
mm. who knows when to keep his mouth
shut, will refrain from expressing an
optnloti Naturally hla gallantry, would
suggest to him to take issue with Miss
Goldlhwalte; hut since she Is a woman
and therefore haa tho advantage in

able to convict any male controversialist
of the superlative taradiddle.
THE HAM. OF FAME.
The selections that have been made for
the proposed Hall of Fame In New York

The eminent Americana named In tho list

It Is the purpose of the projectors of the

time to time such names as the board of

that the true areatnese of the South'* be

Crime la our most expensive luxury, ac
cording to figure* presented by Mr. Eu

the recent Congress of the National

Ki per capita. Tha total city, county,
state and federal taxation chargeable to
crime la carefully estimated at i.Da.000.000,
making crime, as Mr. Smith says, "by
far the largest factor with which political
economy has to deal." The amount Is In

aud dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whiten*

annoying irritations, inflammations, and chaflngs, or too free or
offensive perspiration, in the form of washes, for ulcerative weak
nesses, and for many sanative antiseptic purposes which readily n;.
gest themselves to women, and especially to mothers, and for all the
purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. No amount of persuasion
can induce those who have once used it to use any other, esjecially for
preserving and purifying the skin, scalp, and hair of infants and chil
dren. CunccßA Soap combines delicate emollient properties derived
from CirrKTRA, the great skin cure, with the purest of cleansing ingre
dients and the most refreshing of flower odors. No other mediea/erf
soap ever compounded is to be compared with it for preserving, puri
