AMERICAN BOARD or Missions
The receipts of the Board for June have
advanced $l2,5G1 upon those Of the
same month last year; but the balance
against the treasury on the 1st of July
was ssh, ,i5. 1t is the earnest wish OF
the prudential committee to extinguisl
this debt before September when the
financial year closes, and also meet the
current expenditures of July and Au-
gust, which are expected to be large. To
do this, it is supposed that 100000 in
donations and logacies will be needed ;
and although the amount appears to be
rather formidable, vigorous efforts are
made to secure it. Four years ago the
receipts of the board for July and August
were $l9i. 1922 boston JrGrtHcr.

A WIFE IN A CRoCkERY CEATE.-The
Daily Wisconsin tells of Teuton who
confined his wife at home by locking her
up in crockery crate, which stood on
end in one corner of the bedroom, and
which was used as a prison cell. lie
placed his wife in this, with her sewing.
Two small chains with padlocks keep the
door fastened, and here the poor woman
must sit and sew and await the return
and pleasure of her lord and master before
she could come out. The husband in pal
iation of his offence, acknowledged that
he did lock up his wife in the crate, but
it was done to keep her at home. She
had bad habit Of getting away from
home when she could, and when She got
away she would drink, and when drunk
she made herself disagrcnablc He had
tried coaxing and threatening, but that
did no good He had tried locking her
up in room, but She always managed to
get out in some way. Then he tried
locking her up in a crockcry crate, and
that worked to perfection. He thought
that it was necessary that he should do
