 diences at the Calvary Baptist an d
 First Baptist Churehes-Interestin
 Work Done by Foreign Miss1ons-The @
 London Conference.
 very large audience congregated at the Calvary Baptist church yesterday afternoon to hear the Rev. Dr. Ashmore of China and the Rev Dr. Gordon of Boston on the sub- ject of foreign missions.
 Rev. W. H. Butrick of the First Baptist church presided in the absence of the pastor, called away on account of the death of his father.
 Dr. Ashmore was the first speaker and spoke of the wonderful and gratifying growth of the Christian Missionary union from small to large proportions. It has two hundred men and women now engaged in it's work They have left their homes and friends for Christ's work in distant lands. What the heathen need is the light of Christ, not theology, new science aRd education Our society is a vast missionary society ill 8 foreign field with its seven hundred schools and seventeen hundred pupils, its Bible pub fishing house, etc. The great need now is more help from home and more men. Every where our laoors are blessed and fruitful
 The Rev. Dr. Gordon spoke with pleasure of the large sssem ply present and their evi dent interest in foreign missions. At Telego in one day we baptised three thousand hesth- en and in single year ten thousand were baptized.
 Last Sunday night baptized Chinaman. and told him to tell out of his own heart the story of his conversion and he said: "I be- lieve that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son to the world; therefore love him." Of 120 missionary societies at the recent meeting in London, America had the largest number present.
 Have you observed that Italy has passed an enactment giving religious freedoms
 Dr. Gordon set forth the need of increased means for the work.
 The Judson centennial fund, which has just been started, calls for 100 men to give $1, 900 each for our work. If you are so sit- uated that you can't give much, band together and let your deacon's name go on the list. Thibet is the only place whose doors have not been opened to the gospel

GLOVES OF HUMAN SKIN.
They Are Palmed Off Abroad as
Being the Best Kio.

"Gloves which are sold as kid are
often made of human skin said DR..
Mark l.. Nardyz, the Greek physician.
OF Pine street Ncstcrti'iSE- INC SKIN on
the breast, continued the physician,
sis soft and pliable, and may be used in
the making of gloves. When people
buy gloves they mover stop TO question
about the material of which they are
made. The shop-keeper himself may be
in Ignorance, and the purchaser has no
means of asceraining whether the ma
terial is human skin or not. The fact
is, the tanning of human skin is ex-
tensively carried OIL i'll France and
Switzerland. The product is manufac-
tured into gloves and these arc import
! cd into this country. Thus, you see, a
person may be wearing part of distant
relatives body and not know it. "
Then the doctor drew from n drawer
II brand new pair of black gloves.
''There," he said, sis fine article
made from the skin of child. AS the
hide of kid compares with that of n
goat. SO, of course, does the skin of q
| child compare with that of an adult,
and it is much sought in France for
glove purposes.
"Hhe skin of mans back makes
good sole leather" said the doctor.
"Nature has protected mans spine by a
skin which is much heavier than that
on other parts of the body. Here is
piece of we'll tanned skin from the calf
of mans leg" And the doctor dis
played a bit of white leather, strong and
thick.
In museum in Belgium are the bod
les OF six members of one family. They
were all buried in n tan yard, and when
they were exhumed, years afterward,
the skin, flesh and oven the bones were
well preserved, SO thoroughly tanned
were all the parts. These specimens are
in better state of preservation than are
the Egyptian mummies.
A few years ago General Ben Butler
effectually checked the tanning of
human skins in Massachusetts, and
since that time the business has ceased.
The few samples of tanned human skin
now obtainable we're made by scientists
as an experiment.
DIR. Nardyz formerly possessed fine
pair of slippers made out of the SKIN OF
a member of the genus homo, but his
wife did not like the idea Of her husband
literally wearing q dead mans shoes,
and so one day they vanished. The
doctor does not say word, but he
thinks he knows who is responsible for
their disappearance : Philadelphia

An African Monarch in Paris,

The interest of Parisians is now GEN.
tered on West African monarch. the
King OF Senegal, who has brought with
him his wife, young girl OF eighteen.
1t is understood That Her Majesty was n
raving beauty in the upper circles Of
Senegal society, and rs the king aiehod
TO favorably impress the Parisians with
tho beauty of his female Subjects, ho
married her just bofore he started, hav-
ing first put to death n few other wives
who objected to his adding another to
the already very hong list.
However, the Partisan barbarians
have failed to discover the transcendent
beauty of the new Queen. who arrays
herself with the oldest mixtures OF
cOlors in fashions that were worn hero
live years ago, and will insist upon
wearing an enormous hustle. She is as
black us o piece of coal, and only her
ears, which are usually adorned with
enormous paste diamonds, prevent her
mouth from reaching the base of her
skull.
She and His Majesty, who usually
wears white duck trousers, n French
dragoons s pale blue jacket, covered with
medals and orders, and three-corncIed
hat adorned with r"d, wlute and blue
plumes, are to TO seaa daily ut the EX-
hibition grounds and attract II great
deal more attention than the Prince of
Wales did.
The King could not trust the French
cuisine, so not only did he bring his
cooks with him, but aIso' his cattle,
chickens and even pigs. No hotel was
willing to accommodate his Swarthy
Majesty under these circumstances. SO
the Government took an unpretoutious
home for him in the Rue Lord Byron,
where their Majesties refuse to indulge
i'll the luxury of bed and lie ON the
hard floor, wrapped up in rugs. New

Sunstroke.

The effects of undue exposure to heat
vary widely, and are by no means always
proportlonate to the temperature to
which the person has been exposed.
The so-called sunstroke, or heat stroke,
may occur either in the direct rays of
the sun, OF IN hot rooms, such as laun-
dry rooms or the holds of steamships.
Attacks may occur in the night as we'll
as during the day, and, in general, are to
be feared at times when the atmosphere is
loaded with moisture, so that free per-
splratlon is checked. Experience shows
that the drinking of ice water, when the
body is over heated, is q prolific cause
of these attacks.
All degrees of severity are met with,
from the lightest attack of headache and
dizziness, to the sudden stroke which
ends in death within q few minutes.
Some authorities would make three d s.
tinct degrees of heat prostration, al
though the line is seldom distinctly
drawn IN any given case.
The first variety includes those cases
which show nothing more than a sudden
faintness, muscular weakness and dizzi.
ness, with, perhaps, nausea and vomit-
ing. The surface of the body is cool,
the pulse rapid and feeble. In such
cases, rest in recumbent position in n
cool place for a few hours will generally
give relief.
In the second class of cases, the res
piration and hearts action are affected
and the patient may die suddenly of
syncope. Active measures must be
entered upon at once. The patient
should be removed to a cool spot, the
clothing removed or loosened, and cold
water applied to the head. Complete
recovery from the effects may not take
place for years.
The third form is the most severe,
and in the ma: :ority of cases proves
fatal. The sufferer becomes unconscious,
the skin is dry, the pulse slow and full,
the face flushed and the breathing
labored. Generally there is entire un-
consciousness, and sometimes convul-
siOns.
The temperature runs excessively
high, and the first attempt should be to
bring it to the normal point. For this
purpose cold baths and the application
of ice arc Indicated. AS soon as the
temperature is lcssencd stimu alton
must be commenced to counteract the
great depression which always follows.
1t Isl Important to remember that there
is little danger from heat so long as the
perspiration is free. By bearing this in
mind many who are exposed might no
doubt avert tho threatened attack by
leaving work and seeking shelter as
soon as the diminution in perspiration
is noticed. Il YOUTH Companion.

Superstition in Japa n.

The natives of Japan are exceedingly
devotional, and set up ido's and altals
on what seems to be the slightest pre-
toxt. At Nikko great reverence is pail
the memory of ShOdo sho min, an early
apostle of Buddhism, who is said to
have spent several years in tho region,
and about whom many remarkable stor
les are of course told. The author OF
"Glcanings from Japan" writes. i'll re
gard to visit there:
| found ut Nikko strange looking
picture of something which might rep
resent anything, from fungus with u
hole in it, to figure of man drawn by
child two years old | asked my
friend what it was.
"Oh, that is Hashiri dai Mic, in.
"And what is Hashiri dai Miolin 2"
at is dried rat, god.
"You do not mean to say that any
man worships thata'
"Oh, yes, everybody about here wor-
ships it. Shodo, says the legend,
had made companion of q rat, which
ran about with him, and in case il
should be lost, he tied silk thread to
its tail When he died the rat was lost,
but many years after the silk thread was
found, and traced to n hole, inside
which was found the dried rat.
'But you do not mean to tell me that
any sensible man worships that?"
"You will find the landlord does, and
clapping his hands, he asked the maid
"Would you ask the landlord if he Ia

Up came the landlord, and took from
his bosom a neat, silk covered case, III
side which was the identical representa-
ton of dried lat, and looking so used
as if he worshipred it every day of his
life.

Acuteness of Smell.

We have heard perfectly authenti-
Gated case of little girl who instantly
detected the presence of stranger in
the house, and recognized the advent of
friends, purely by the sense of smell.
Any article of clothing belonging to one
she knew was identified by her at once
but she could identify as quickly per-
son whom she knew, even if the person
wore clothing every article of which was
perfectly new, without seeing him.
This sense, as keen as dogs, was not
accompanied by any deficiency in other
senses; but the child lost it in growing
to maturity. Another little girl could
at the age of four, distinguish to-day's
newspaper from yesterdays, and yester-
days from that of the day before,
by the smell of the paper; and this in
the evening, and after the papers were
perfectly dry. The experiment was
often made by taking three papers of
successive days, and cutting off pieces
exactly alike from the corners. The
child always correctly identified each of
them. But now she has reached the age
of fourteen, the faculty has been lost.
A little boy, too, four years old, always
distinguishes his fathers derby hat,
which is exactly the size, shape and
color of his big bIother's, by it's odor,
which is quite undistinguishable to
ordinary nostrils. cit smells papary, -
the boy said, when asked to account for
his accomplishment. - Boston Trans

Syrian Bakeries and Burials.

The chief articles of food in Syria are
milk and curds. 1 partook of dish
called kibbe, to Syria what pork and
beans are to New England. They beat
mp grain and chopped meat and vege-
tables together, make it into q cake and
COOK it in butter and onions. l might
have acquired taste for it, but very
little was enough at the first trial. The
bread is baked not i'll loaves but in large
and very thin cakes. The ovens are
built in the ground, and the inside walls
are dried mud or mortar. They heat
them with straw and thorns, and the
cakes are thrown against the side walls,
and lest they should be like "Ephraim' s
cake not turned, both sides are exposed
to the hot surface. A missionary friend
gave me for luncheon two cooked
pigeons wrapped up in two of these
cakes Just as we would wrap bundle in
paper. / found the bread tough but
palatable. 1t might not be pleasant to
talk of such things at the table, but you
cannot help but observe the customs of
q people, and l noticed that the men on
the roads, pilgrims and peasants, carried
these cakes between their loose shirts
and the bare skin and ate them on occa-
sions with as much dignity and appe-
tite as king ever ate meal. There is no
special connection that l know of be-
tween n bakery and burial ground,
but the bakery oven, in the village 1
inspected most closely, and the grave
yard adioined each other. Prairie GEM
eteries in the first stages of far Western
towns, without fence or shrub, are mel
ancholy spectacles, but these Syrian
cemeteries are more melancholy. A few
mounds at the edge of the village con-
tain the village dead of many genera
tions. When there is a death one of
the graves is opened, the bones of the
last interment gathered up and put in
one corner, and the body, uncoffined,
lowered into the receptacle. 1t is then
filled in with cobble stones to protect it
against the jackals and the birds. When
the graves become full the bones are
taken out and thrown upon pile, and
that CHASTITY sight stares one in the face
at every village.-[ Mail and Express.
