A Missionary's Experience Among

'Faith is our guide and faith our
light sang upwards of sixty ladies as
sembled yesterday afternoon in the par
lors of the House of Hope Presbyterian
church to hear missionary address by
Rev. G. w. knox, of New York city.
Mr.. Knox is on his return journey to
Toxic, Japan, where he has already
spent between nine and ten years in
the mission field. He gave most
hopeful account of missionary enter
prise in Japan, with its $1,000
600 of people. Thirty years
ago." he said, Japan was the
most hopeless of all foreign mission
fields; to-day it is the most hopeful.
Japanese are a clear-sighted, quick
witted people, and will gather by thou
like the people of the United States,
they are perfectly ready to listen to
seven or eight sermons in succession.
and i'll their opinion, one sermon of
forty-fiYe minutes is not worth going to
hear. What we behold iii Japan is
what we may expect to see all through
ASia-in China, India, Siam and per-
haps, in the far-away Thibet itself.
The Presbyterian missions have two
theological seminarieS in Japan at which
there are seventy or eighty students.
These undergo strictly theological
course. and are ordained at the end of
three years: 1t was in 1872 that the
Presbyterian mission began, and by
1900 it is expected that the native
church will be so strong that it will
need no foreign missionaries. 1t is fur
ther expected that there will be more
Presbyterians in Japan at the close Of
this century than there were in the

THROWN IN BASS LAKE
After Being Murdered-Anoth
Victim Expected to Die.


Sheriff Richter drove out to Bass lake
yesterday, having been Informed that
the body of the missing murdered man
could be found at certain place. A
diligent search was made, but no traces
of the man could be discovered. A num-
Der of the Swedes who participated in
Sundays cutting affray were on the
grounds and aided in the search. John
son, who was disemboweled, is in a bad
way, and the doctor thinks he cannot
live but day or two. The sheriff tried
to ascertain some new facts from John
Son concerning the melee, but his con-
ditiOn was such that but little could be
learned from him. 1t is now thought
: that the body of the missing man was
thrown into the lake,
A gentleman who claims to be posted
as to the facts gives the following YER
SION of the affair of Sunday: The row
had its origin in a grudge which some
OF the Swedes have against a newspaper
reporter from Saltwater. After two or
. three of the Swedes had vented their
grievance on the reporter they retired
from the field, leaving the latter more
dead than alive. Shortly after the oc-
currence, party OF the ''fakirs" and
sports came upon the wounded man
ttAu tooh HiiIl W Tic ucdleSI ilOuSc.
A report spread among the Swedes
that one of their number had
been roughly handled by the
gamblers" This incensed them, and
they made Sortie on the gamblers, who
drove them back. The Swedes re-
newed attack only to be repulsed.
A third charge was made, the ranks of
the Swedes being reinforced by num-
ber of military men armed with swords.
The gamblers by this time had become
thoroughly alarmed, and, recognizing
their peril, armed themselves with
clubs, rocks, knives and whatever else
they could seize hold of. The fight was
short but furious, and the Swedes, for
the third time, were repelled with
ghastly results.

Country Houses in America.

There Is a curious lack in America.
The dining rooms of country houses are
generally small and not cheerfully fur
nished. The more modern houses are
improving in this respect, and we have
lately seen many q large room with a
good outlook, or with hard wood floor or
mating, or with India rugs. The table
should be round or oval The chairs Of
some hard wood. with cane. The table,
cloth Of fine damask, smelling Of laven-
der; colored cloths are only permissible
for dinner and tea. The matter Of light
ing rooms troubles people who live in
country neigbborhoods. If there is no
gas, candles are pretty. but very trouble
some. The wind blows the flame to and
fro, insects flutter into the flame, an I'M
happy moth seats himself on the wick,
and burning into an unsightly cadaver,
makes gutter down one side; the little
red paper shade. takes fire, and there Is
endless trouble. Kerosene smells abom-

is the best thing, and, now that they
come with long brass standards. very

Absinthe consists essentially Of alcohol
mixed with volatile oil Of NORWOOD and
some other less active ingredients, especi-
ally. oil of anise. DR.. Cyrus Edison, of
the health department, and others say
that for some time it has been noticed
that the effects of absinthe drinking diff
fer essentially from those Of pure Glco-
holic drinks, constituting a series, OF
symptoms which have been designated
under the name of absinthism. The ut
tention of a reporter was called to the
case of a wealthy merchant who was
quite recently taken i'll in the street and
carried into the house of a physician. He
had for score Of years drank brandy
and whisky, oftentimes to excess. About
six months ago he took TO drinking alb
sinthe in the morning to steady his nerves.
He found that after the first effects
of the drink wore off he was in a worse
condition than before, and in order to
keep up he found Unnecessary to keep him :
self pretty much all the time braced up
with the poison. From drinking alb
sinthe in whisky he took to drinking it
| plain. When he was carried into the
physicians Office he was frothing at the
mouth and suffering from commissions.
He is now under special care and there
are hopes of his ultimate recovery.
The characteristic symptoms OF alb
sinthism are restlessness at night, with
disturbing dreams and nausea and vonait-
ing in the morning The hands tremble
and the tongue shakes in a jerky fashion
| in the mouth. The sufferer is hardly
able to articulate. Then follow vertigo
and q decided tendency to epileptiform
commissions, in which the patient loses
consciousness. He falls, bites his tongue,
foams at the mouth and makes facial
4 grinaces. All the while his limbs arc
working, Experiments have been made

ately. OF the lower animals, and ID is ut-
dehiably demonstrated that the effects re-
ferred to are ascribable directly to tile

wornlwood it may be inferred by even

a drink it more dangerous than any
other alcoholic drink in its pure form.
