has been urged to hasten the delivery of
guns, payment for which has been guar
anteed. Everything indicates an early in

circles, the opinion is expressed that the

refuse to recognize the Bulgarian union,

be the least dangerous to European
peace. The Marquis De NOailles, the
French ambassador, and Herr Won RADIO

Of Its Results for the Past Quarter Of .
Century.
BosToN, MASS, October 15.-At yes

Of Missions, Rev. E. K Alden, d. D.,
Home Secretary, reported that during
the quarter century Just endedt, he num-
Der OF ordained missionaries has de-
creased ten per cent, from 166 Ia 1850
to 16l In 1885. During the seventy.dve
years OF existence the American Board
has sent out 699 ordained missionaries,
OF whom 50 were physicians, 43 physi-
clans uuorda:ned, LA other male attend
ing the same period they have sent out
1850 women, 500 Of whom were IN.
married-a total force of 1856. TIN
gives as the annual average for the whole
period, about 25 missionaries and assist
ant missionaries-l0 men, Of whom
were ordained, and Is women.
Rev. A. G. Clark, DID, Senior For.
eign Secretary, made the following re.
port for the twenty five years Just ended:
Of 166 missionaries! on the roll in 1860,
fifty still remain and have rendered
m average service Of thirty-four years.
Eighty whose names are starred have
served an average of twcnty-eight years,
though seven of them lived in this coun-
try for years after retiring from the mis-
sionary field. The remaining thirty -four,
SO tar as known, are still living, some in
hOnOred Old age, resting from their
tolls, and some actively engaged In the
ministry
An interesting feature of the foreign
work during the past twenty five years is
the engagement of work for women. In
1850 there were twenty-five women con-
nected with the different missions. A
few of the wives Of missionaries were at.
tempting 10 do something for their sex,
but no systematic Work had been organ
liz d. Now there are lOl women with the
different missions in charge of forty SEM
inaries or engaged In field work. The
number of young men enjoying the ad-
vantages of higher Christian education
under the immediate care of cultured
women from this country amounts to
nearly 100, while probably ten
times as many more are reached
In their homes by missionary ladies,
and by the large number of
Bible women wOrkin. under their SUPER
vision. In twenty-five years there has
been an advance in churches from los to
292; of church members from $500 to
over q, 1000; of pupils in common schools
from 5000 to $4,000; Of native pastors
from % to l47, not to speak of the
growth OF large and efficient body of
native preachers and teachers, acting as
laborers in the evangelizstiOn of their
people.
BY a singular coincidence there has
been on the average five fold increase
during the twenty five years in the ag-
gregate Of results in the following lines
of effort. In the breadth of the field,
towns, cities, and islands ac-
tually occupied; in the number of church
members; of pastors, of high schools,
and colleges. and in the CON-
tribu,ions of native Christians toward
the support of the own institutions.

occurred between ."ur and five o'clock, two
miles south Of the public square. at the old
Long building formerly used as the Phelps

dirt in front of the others door. Mrs.
Reeves notified her husband, and he quar-
relied with Frank Stone about the matter.
After several hot words had passed, accord
ing to Mrs. Reeves story, Stone threw a
flat iron at Reeves. The latter then stabbed
Stone in the back, inflicting wound which
proved fatal in few minutes. Reeves
stated to several that he intended to de'iv

How to Milk.

1t is not every dairyman who knows
how to milk-some cannot, and others
will not, learn. Vast numbers of good
cows are ruined every year by careless
ness, by neglect and by brutality of
mixers. The manner of milking, and
the circumstances connected Herewith,
are often not understood, nor fully APP
preciated, by dairymen. l heard two
farmers recently comparing the yield of
milk from their respective herds for
the past season. The receipts of one
were about third more than those of
the other, and the latter said: g can
not understand this; my feed, my
water supply and my cows are as good
as yours" The reply was: I" Yes,
but when my mixers 90 to milk they
understand that it means business. /
will not lave a poor mixer around at
any price, and talk this over when
hire him, and he understands what
will have" 1t was evident the sub
ject had value which carried convic-
ton. The quantity of milk that COW
gives depends much upon the mode,
time and regularity of milking. Cows
do best that have one regular mixer,
and the time of milking should be care
fully attended to, and not be subject to
variation from day to day. The udder
should be brushed, and in case of any
dirt on it should be cleansed by wash
ing with cloth and water; for if the
COW has been driven through any
muddy place and thus become be-
smeared, any dirt accidentally falling
into the pail will communicate its faint
to he milk. Wetting the hands and
teats with milk before milking is very
bad practice. This should always be
avoided, both for the comfort of the
animal and the cleanliness of the milk.
The mixer should have short finger
nails, for long nails will be sure to hurt
the teats and cause irritation to the

Give Water to Infants.

A physician of the New York Nur-
sery and Child's Hospital believes, from
his practice, that infants generally,
whether brought up at the breast or ar
tiicially, are not supplied with suffi-
cient water, the fluid portion of their
food being quickly taken up, and leav-
ing the solid too thick to be easily di-
gested. In warm, dry weather, healthy
babies will take water every hour with
advantage, and their frequent fretful-
ness and rise of temperature is often di-
rectly due to their not having it. A
free supply of water, and restricting
the frequency of nursing, has been
found at the nursery to be most eff
fectual check in cases of incipient fever,
a diminished rate of mortality and
marked reduction in the number of
gastric and intestinal complaints being
attributed to this cause. In teeth-cut-
ting water soothes the gums, and fire.

ness universal in children at this period,

Drying Tomatoes.

In Italy an extensive business is
carried on in drying tomatoes to use
during those portions of the year when
the fresh fruit cannot be obtained. Ac-
cording to the Rural Record, tomatoes
are raised, for the most part, between
rows of grape-vines, so that the land
for their culture costs nothing. Some
times the tomato vines are trained
on the lower bars of trellis, to which
the grapes are attached. The tomatoes
are allowed to remain on the branches
until they are quite ripe, when they
are picked and pressed in bags made of
coarse cloth, which allows the pulp to
pass through, but which retains the
seeds and skins. The pulp is then
thinly spread out on cloth, boards, or in
shallow dishes, and exposed to the sun
to dry. When it has become quite dry
it is broken up fine, or ground, and put
into boxes or bags and sent to market.
A large part of it is used for making
soups, but considerable of it is en-
ployed as we do tomatoes that are pre-
served in tin or glass cans. 1t iSoaked
for few hours in warm water, and
then cooked in the ordinary manner.
Large quantities are wanted for home
consumption, and considerable is ex-
ported.
