st. Louis Correspondence.

Ed. Register-It is an encouraging
fact that the various bible societies
have circulated in China during the
past year 6S2,938 copies of the script
ures. Of course these bibles will be
read by more than one person. What
Confucius! The bible, in contrast with
the books of Confucius, there can be
but one end: "Thy word giveth light"
is the sacred teaching. While this was
sionary societies have spent ST.. 900, 600
in their work. Let it be kept in mind
that in that land they do not give
thousands of dollars of a salary, but a
few hundred, and often nothing at all.
Most of the native converts desire to
be independent as soon as possible,
from the fact that one of the slurs hurl-
ed at them by the old friends is that
they have changed their religion so as
to get the gold or support of these for
eign religions. 1t is the policy of the
missionary society to spend just as lit
tie money as possible, teaching them
to be self-reliant from the first. Elev-
EN- millions of money spent in China
means many more millions of work.
Who would have thought few years
ago that such result would have been
secured in China in SO short a time?
God is in the movement and it must go
forward.
The following fact shows the inner
ent power of the gospel: A missionary
to Burmah had labored thirty years,
and on a journey once in a new part of
the country found the people praying
in the name of the Lord Jesus. He
was curious to find by what means
they had been brought into knowl-
edge of Christ and His gospel. He
found that one of the chief men of the
village had been to Christian village
some years before and brought home
parcel of goods in which piece of
paper with part of chapter of the
word of God was found. 1t showed
sacrifice of sin. He read it and asked
Jesus to save him. He found the peace
he bad sought for SO long. He now
called his people and told them what
he had found. They accepted the
Christ and his religion and they had
found joy and gladness. They were
now moving on in the light as they
enjoyed it and were anxiously inquir
ing for more. The new man now in
structed them fur ther in gospel truth
and built them up in the pure gospel
of the Son of God. A little stone in the
mountain or grain of mustard seed
can be tie means of accomplishing
great good, when accompanied with
the blessing of the God of the bible.

A Decoration-Day Incident.

Adown the street the soldiers came
With steady, marching feet;
The "bands" were sending everywhere
Their strains of music sweet.
My little Effie went with me
To watch the soldiers strew
Bright buds and blossoms on the graves
OF their old comrades true.
One lone, neglected grave lay bare
Beside the fence near by.
"Whose is it," Efiie asked of me.
"Some Strangers" answered I.
Now here, now there, the flowers were lait
BY loving, loyal hands,
In honor of the men who died
AT Freedoms loud demands.
l missed my little one at last,
And turned about to see
If in the crowd that gathered near
My little girl might be.
Not there. Ah, no; but close beside
The strangers grave found
The little figure STOPPING low,
And pulling from the ground
The yellow dandellons which grow
So free for all to find.
She raised her troubled eyes to mine;
Mamma, 1t wasn't kind
To pile those flowers all over there,
And give the stranger none.
Pm sorry for this grave, mamma,
cause it is all alone"
And then she spread with little hands,
Above the grave so bare,
Her golden dandelions, and dressed
The lonely spot with care;
The while the breezes kissed her cheek
And stirred her curls of gold,
And down the leafy avenues
The martial music rolled.
"There, now, mamma, the stranger won't
Feel lonely any more!"
/ clasped my baby in my arms,
And kissed her o'er and o'er.
And well know that angels blessed
The child bore away
The child who dressed the strangers
grave"
On Decoration Day.

Four Curious Waxers.

Among the most extravagant and most senseless bets ever made was that laid by g fanatic in England, who undertook for eer- tain sum and within a preposterously short space of time to eat forty-fve beefsteaks and drink forty>fve pots of strong beer. It ia not recorded whether this enthusiast came off victorious or died of apoplsxy.
 Among the wagers which may be ranked in the harmless but foolish category is that of the country gentleman near Shrewsbury. who bet that he had the handsomess lee in the kingdom, and backed his opinion by the stake of a large estate. He won his wager, and picture is still extaat in the family mansion representing the measuring of the legs of the different competitors,
 There is one exceptional bet the futility of which is revealed by it's sly hunor It is that of the individual who staked consider able sum, not on the credulity, but on the caution of mankind. He bet that he bridge with tray full of sovereigns fresh from the mint, and be unable to find a pur- chaser for them at penny apiece. Tkere he stood from morn to dewy eve and he did not dispose of one sovereign.
 There was bet decided in 1906 in the Castle Yard, York, between two gentlemen. as to which should succeed in assuming the most singular and original character. One competitor appeared with his hat, coat and waistcoat profusely adorned with bank notes of various denominations, and purse of gold in one hand. His rival was dressed on one side like fashionable lady, with 6 silk stocking and slipper, and one-half of his face painted. On the other side he assumed the guise of a male negro, with @ top boot and spur. The wise men of York unanimously decided that the gentleman plastered with money had onw

GRAYs' DECORATION DAY.
Tributes of Flowers in Memory (
 Their Dead Comrades.

Tributes of Flowers in Memory ot Their Dead Comrades. Morning service at the United church yes- terday was attended by the New Haven Grays in their handsome gray uniforms. It was their Decoration day, and before the pulpit rested huge bank of flowers beneath which stood potted plants. Graceful bouquets also adorned the sides of the pulpit. The mem- bers of the company occupied the front pews in the body of the church. The large con- gregation listened to Rev. Dr. Munger's words with close attention. His sermon was marked by a deep insight into the course of history and an earnest endeavor to set forth the clements which led to our prosperity. The ministry of the gospel would reach it's greatest height if such able arguments could be oftener set in the sight of our soldiers and citizens.
 Dr. Munger chose his text from Deuteron- omy, viii, 2: "And thou shalt remember all the ways which the Lord thy God led thee. :"
 At 3:30 in the afternoon the company ass sembled in the armory, and headed by the American band started on their march to bear flowers to the graves of their deceased comrades. To the old cemetery the procss- sion first went, and faithful soldiers made the quiet streets lively with flowers and music. The company was divided into three detaohments at the old cemetery, and each bore bright bouquets and fragrant wreaths of roses to lay on the honorsd graves.
 After the work of remembrance was done the company again formed .their ranks and marched to the Evergreen cemetery where the graves of comrades were visited and like wise honored.
 After the services were over the members marched to the armory where they were dis missed

{ Death of Henry HI. Olds-An Esteemed and Useful Citizen.
 One of our most prominent and successful ! business men finished his earthly course on Saturday afternoon last, at his home in this city on Chapel street. He returned from Florida in feeble health and has not been able to remove to his new and beautiful
 residence on Fair Haven Heights this sum- mer.
 MT. Olds was born, as the 'sHistory of New Haven" informs us. in the old Cutler resi-
 dence (now the Adams Heuse) on George
 street of this city, on July 6, 1924. He
 therefore lacked but twenty days of being
 sixty-four years of age. The account of his active and industrious life es given in the 'sHistory" shows him to have been a man of excellent business capacity. and one not easi ly discouraged. His courage, skill and per- severance were rewarded with great financial success.
 Few business men in this State were bet ter known than MT. Olds. He started a pie bakery on Chapel street, and YVES the pioneer in that industry. By his honesty and fair ness his business was continually on the in~ crease until it assumed large proportions. Everybody came to know the Fl. H. Olds' pies. Previous to his starting his pie bakery he was in partnership with S. M. Munson for while in Fair Haven, in the manufacturing business, but the partnership did not last loNg. In the pis manufacturing business he branched his interests all over the State and into neighboring ones as well. The factory was run day and night, great was the demand for this popular pie. His many employees all loved and respected him.
 He was & man of noble and benevolent traits of character and unblemished life, and has left @ wide circle of friends to mourn his loss. Quiet and retiring in his tempera- ment and habits, he never engaged in public affairs. but was ever ready to assist by his generous contributions every good work and was full of interest for the best good of his native city and his native land.
 He bore his long sickness with exemplary patience and was busy about his business cares long after he was too i'll to do anything but rest.
 He was not publicly connected with po- itical matters, but his sympathies were with the slaves, and in war time he was patriotic and earnest as friend of the North and the Union arms.
 He was from early years . man of religious principles, but did not make an open profess sion of his faith till few years ago. But he lived religiously and he died peacefully sus- tained by the great hopes of the gospel
 His wife and her brother and sister, with his pastor, were beside him in his last hour
 His funeral will be tomorrow Tuesday, afternoon at o'clock at the Church of the Holy Spirit, corner of Davenport avenue and Ward street, and will doubtless be largely atfapdad

 Posf-lM0rfem-The Funeral to be
 Held Th1s Morning.
 BERLIN, June 1.-The Emperor and Em-
 press, accompanied by the Dowager Empress
 Augusta and the Grand Duke and Duchess
 of Baden and other royalties, visited the Jas
 per gallery this morning. While they were
 assembled around the dead monarch's bier Chaplain Koegel offered brief prayer. Ac- cess to the gallery was prohibited to the pub
 lie until the royal party had departed. The public was then readmitted. Correeio's painting .tSaint Vsronica's Veil" is now sus- pended at the head of the catafalque, on the right and left of which laurel trees have been placed. The Empress and Emperor visited the Dowagsr Empress Augusta st the tower castle to-day. Prince Frederick Leopold comes to Berlin to receive the royal person ages coming to attend the funeral
 The post-mortem examination was confined to dissection of the neck, larynx and lungs. In the larynx, which was found to have been destroyed by suppuration, was 8 cavity about the size of Q clinched fist Dr. Mac kenz1e states in the report which he prepared at the command Of Emperor William that the disease was beyond doubt cancer of the larynx. He adds that the diagnosis was ren- dered very difficult as the disease attacked the cartilage of the Iarynx at the outset and afterwards developed chiefly in the lower part of the cartilage The National Zeitung says that the autopsy proved that the larynx was completely de- stroved by cancer and that putrid bronchitis existed. There was also inflammation of the liner ramiGoatious of the bronchial kuhes into which putreseent particles had entered. The whole larynx was in state of suppuration md presented g soft 1umpy mass with scarce- y any trace of cartilaginous structure. There was nothing to show the existence ,f perforaticn of the walls separating he trachea and osophagus. The choking I sensation from which the Enazeror suffered | turing the last days of his 1me, which was attributed to such 8 perforation, appears to ' rave been due to collapse of the larynx owing \ o the destruction of the cartilage. The di- \ ect cause of death is given as paralysis of I he lungs. The post-mortem examination ! occupied one hour.
 Large crowds went from Berlin to Pots- lam to-day to view the Empsror's remains. )n account of want of space it has not been possible to accede to the request of the pro 'incial authorities for permission to attend | he funeral services at Freidriche-K -Kirche.

The piece of the rabbits cornea was completely united to the human eye and had grown to the edge of the hole made in the blind eye opposite the pupil. The clear graft had become cloudy in the process of uniting to the human eye. Already, how ever, it had begun to clear up, and the man is beginning to enjoy the privilege of seeing This he has not done for three years, when the eyes were destroyed by lime The oper- ation of transplanting in the left eye was so satisfactory that two days ago Dr. Chiselm made . similar operation sn the right eye.

New Things Tn Clocks.

ltrOm the Jewellers Weekly l. A quaint clock is of Parian marble, repre- senting palanquin and it's bearers. The
 movement fills ..the palanquin's body, the dial
 being on it's side
 handsome set is of white aIabaster, re-
 lieved by gilt scrolls in relief. The clock is square, having 8 pointed top, supported
 at the sides by square pillars. The eide pieces are short urns having gilded inter-
 iors.
 An irregular urn of variegated marble forms the~elock case of another handsome drawing room set. Five -branched csndelabra form the side pieces, and all are resplendent in gliding.
 A rninia ture kiosk in..blaek marble makes tasteful case for clock in rooms furnish ed with an abundance of bric-a-bfSc. offer ing an excellent foil to the brighter objects. The vases are round urns of the same nasser- ial.
 In solid brass the designs for clock sets are numerous. Cases of scroll work sorne- what urn-shaped or bearing shields or coats Of arms, supported by pair of minds, are much admired. Candelabra are the side pieces in the more handsome brass sets.
 A square case of green and white onyx relieved by small engraved designs, the whole topped by temp1e-shaped cupola of the same material, makes a handsome timepieee. The vases accompanying it are in the form of tall, narrow-necked ewers.
 An artistic clock has case of blue, red. and white enamel in the shape of a slightly oblong square. The colors are well matched so as not to detract from each other. The decorative designs are of vines, flowers and cherubIm, and somewhat conventional. Four branched eandelabra take the place of side vases.
 A pretty marine clock which will probably grace the cabin of some white-winged pleas- ure boat IS of brass, in the shape of an an chor. The dial is near the center of the shank, and beneath it, as if supporting it in place, is in relief an angel, whose wings form the anchors aukes.
 Of quaintly carved German nut wood ia the case of clock, which besides telling time in chimes, hours, halves or quarters at the pleasure of it's owner, also shows the po- sition of the moon, the days of the month and the consultations as they. appear in the irmament. Conscious of it's many powers. t has no side pieces of any sort.
 Lovers of bright things will appreciate 'ase composed of white, gold and red bronze. epresenting Turkish mosque, minarets \ md spires in plenty. The three colors are \ blended, and. the general ef- ect, though at first slightly repuqnant to | people of quiet taste, is pleasing one. The 'ases are tiny temples of the various brorzes Ised in the clock.
