An established Church missionary from
England to Japan writes as follows to Z
friend:
One of the things which most of all
pains and torments these Japanese is that
we teach them the prison of he'll Is irrevoca-
bly, shut, SO that there is no egress. They
grieve over the fate of their departed chill
dren, parents and relatives and often show
their grief by tears. They ask US if there
is any hope; any way to free them by
prayer from that eternal misery, and am
obliged to answer there is absolutely none.
Their grief at this, affects and torments
them wonderfully, they almost pine away
with sorrow. They often ask II God can not
take their father out of hell? and why their
punishment must never have an end?
They do not cease to grieve and can
hardly restrain my tears at seeing men SO
dear TO my heart suffer such intense pain.
Such thoughts have, l imagine, risen in the
hearts of missionary teachers of all churches.
Again and again, and my brother mis-
siOnaries were questioned by people about
their dead parents and forefathers " ho had
not heard the Gospel. These distressed
hearts asked if they could pray for their an
cestors. l have had most painful scenes,
as think mary American church mission
aries have had.
Why should this missionary or any other
teach the Japanese that their ancestors are
In hell? Who knows that but God him.
self? No man in any age or portion of the
world is punished for not accepting reli-
gion of which he has never heard. We
know Of nobody who believes otherwise.
God is not merely just-he is loving and
merciful, an6 he undoubtedly affords to
every man q fair chance for salvation-and
not merely q chance but an opportunity.
Who does not believe this? We cannot
send anybody to hell; neither can we abol-
ish hell. We can, however, do all that
lies in our power to win people to ways of
righteousness and peace.

of the Andrews railroad expedition who
were hanged by the Confederate authori-
ties, at Atlanta, in 1883. One of these
men, William Campbell, of Salineville, Co

other six were union soldiers from Ohio:
Marion Ross. A company; George d. VIII

the execution Of the seven. He 10 buried
with them. His name will be on the mon

the deed for which these men wers hanged
as follows:
The mission of the Andrews raiders was
to capture locomotive and two or three
cars, on the Western and Atlantic railroad,
at Atlanta, or some point not far north Of
that place and then run to Chattanooga,
burning the bridges and cutting the tele-

enemy from throwing troops into Cbatta-

The needle consists of very fine piece
of platinum wire, and is connected with
very powerful battery. The rose
must. of course, be handled very care
fully, or the entire flower will be de-
stroyed. Take one of the leaves of
the fiower-one of the most prominent
ones, and a perfect one-and place it
under piece of glass. Then with the
needle quickly write your name over
the leaf. The needle must be held
very lightly, but it must touch the
flower. The electricity conveyed
through the needle kills the parts that
it touches. and drives all the color out,
leaving the name distinctly written.
This will show best on colored flowers,
like this red rose, or on a yellow flower.

A Land Ever Poor.

India is fearfully poor to-day, and L
find internal evidence that it has ever
been so. There has ever been the few
who coined gold out of muscle and
crystallized sweat into gems. The few
here was perhaps smaller than in any
other country. 1t built its palaces and
tombs of wondrous beauty, but there
is absolutely no sort of monument of
past people or masses. These have
ever lived in sgualor, their mud houses
melting under a summer rain; their
little accommodations vanishing In the
smoke of their poor funeral piles. OPP
preston has so sunken into their ma
lures that they have no conception of
anything else. If cells were half as
fond of being skinned as these people
are of being ground down, they would
wiggle from their mud houses into the
frying-pan. Like spaniels, they de-
light in licking the hand that smites
them.
There is nothing in this land to make
it one of wealth, but everything to
make it the opposite. Its climate en-
ables its people to live on what would
be starvation elsewhere, and to clothe
themselves in some light cloth alone.
Such a people never could be rich.
They have been able to manufacture
articles at almost a nominal cost whose
rarity in Europe made them of great
value, and Europe imagined these
things were riches, whereas their very
cheapness here was evidence of the
poverty of the country.-Cdrter II.

A Minister'S Tac'.

Perhaps as ready tact as was ever
displayed in the pulpit was on the part
of minister who became the lifelong
chaplain of Frederick the Great. The
King chose to decide between a num-
Der of applicants 10y the way in which
they should deliver an extempore SER
mon, the text to be handed them in a
sealed envelope as they entered the
pulpit. Sunday came, and after prayer
enc of the Kings aids presented the
minister with sealed envelope. He
opened it and found it blank. He held
up one side and said: My brethren,
here is nothing" Then, holding up the
other side, he said and here is moth
ing, and out of nothing God created all
things" and proceeded to deliver q
magnificent discourse on the power
and wonders of creation. He obtained
the appointment, and held it through
his lifetime.

Tones OF the Human Voice.

1t is curious fact that the tones OF
civilized races are louder and harsher
than those used by savage tribes. In
deed, among people who are classed
as civilized, it will commonly be found
that the more highly cultivated, up to
certain point, speak in sharper
tone.
OF course, when cultivation and re-
finement have reached the point that
the tones of the voice have become q
matter of attention and care, the rule
no longer holds, for then low, we'll
modulated tones are acquired as an az
complishment.
The philosophy of this popularity
seems to be that the same energy and
vigor which give certain races the lead
ership in advancement are accompanied
by unusual nervous strain, and we are
well aware how plainly nervousness is
indicated in the tones. The people Of
New England speak in q sharper and
shriller voice than their cousins in
Old England. They are also more
intense in feeling, and more eager in
action.
That this difference is not due to
the influence OF climate Is apparent
upon comparison of our people
with those of the Dominion to the
north and east of us. 1t is only as eli
mate or other agencies may affect the
entire character of a people that it has
anything to do with the tones in which
they speak.
Commonly, as We approach the trop-
les, we find the voice lower and softer !;
but, then, this is only in keeping with
the whole life of the people, which
shows less of force and earnestness than
that of people who inhabit the temper
ate zone. 1t suggests that they are too
indolent to raise their voices.
The writer recalls that he has more
than once been asked by persons from
Brazil and from the Spanish countries
of South America, who were new COM
ers among us, whether those whom they
overheard were really scolding, for they
discovered no petulance nor ill-feeling
except in the tones of the voice. Such
questions are calculated to awaken
profitable reflections. Youths Com

Ouccr Fits and Starts.

The fits and starts-using these words in
their literal meaning-of the nervous people
often strike the beholder as ludicrous. The
nerves Of hearing OF such unfortunates are
painfully acute, and impinged by abrupt un-
expected noises, lead them sometimes to per-
form antics worthy OF jumping Jack. At the
root Of nervousness, in most instances, is non
assimilation of the food. and consequently in
nutrition Of the nerves as OF the other tissues
OF the body. This prolonged is, Il course,

Honest Jim Fair.

A good story on Senator James G..
Fair was told In one of the local stock
brokerage houses by former member
OF the San Francisco Stock and Min
ing Exchange. Some time in 1865 or
1865 the rumor got abroad that a big
strike" had been made in the Ophir.
They shut down the mine, bulk-headed
the supposed find, and refused to allow
experts or the public on the premises.
Fair, who was the superintendent of
the mine, assured the people that there
was nothing in the supposed discovery.
The speculative public, we'll knowing
his reputation as truthful dispenser
of pointers, coppered him, and their
buying advanced the price of the stock
from $50 to about 900. Fair and his
suspected colleague, Banker Irwin
Davis, who were supposed to be largely
short of the stock, were forced, rs q
matter of self-protection, to open the
mine TO the public, as any further adj
vance would exhaust their margins
and ruin them. On the admission of
experts to the mine the public were
Mortified to discover that the superin-
tendent, Mr.. Fair, had told the truth
absolutely the truth. The result was
a panic and decline in the stock,
which was not checked until it had
dropped considerably below the figure
from which the advance had started.
The Generalization and financial disc
tress among the gamblers in mining
stocks was somewhat awful, but the
affair won for the willy superintendent
the name of "Honest Jim which is
still his title on the Pacific coast. -

The Chnrch Fair.

Is there not more satisfactory way
of raising money for religious, chsrita-
BILE, and beneficiary purposes than
holding fairs? The experience of this
winter in Washington ought to teach
our local organizations that fairs do not
nav. When the cost of contributions
made by solicited friends. the time,
energy, and health of the ladies who
bear the brunt of the work, and the
risks, anxiety, and worriment of the
managers are taken into account, the
vesult does not seem TO be commensu-
.iate to the outlay. Every one Of such

in declining to contribute good 10
those that are to come in competition
with the regular trade. At the fairs
many things are sold at exorbitant
prices, while really staple goods are
sold at less than true value. 1t is quite
probable that on an average the arti-
cles contributed to the several fairs

Wholesale cost, to the detriment OF the
retail business of the city. The peo-
pie interested in these enterprises are
almost always disappointed when the
profits are footed up. They get only
small return for the labor put into
them, even if they get any profit. My
experience is that fairs are "vexation
of spirit" and very little besides.
