The Christian Aduocate, the able
organ Of the Methodist communion, con-
tains an article by the Rev. Dr. Bald
win, former missionary, controvert-
ing the statements recently made by
Lieut.. Wood Of the navy as to the fail
ure OF Christian missions in China. He
says that the Presbyterians have a
synod in China composed of several
presbyteries, with number of native
preachers; the Methodists full organ
lied conference, with between forty
and fifty native ministers; the Re
formed Church large presbytery. or
classes, with over 1000 members; and
the Baptists strong and furnishing
missions in different parts of the en-
pire. The number of COMMITMENTS in
all the Protestant churches he puts at
5000, and as an instance of the zeal
refers to the gift of $4,000 to the
Methodist Chinese College by Thong
Ahok, "the wealthy Chinese Christian
merchant at Foochow." A Roman
Catholic correspondent has also pre-
sented us with facts regarding the sue
cess OF the Catholic missions in China
which show that Lieut.. Wood spoke
without proper knowledge.

The Presidents Private Secretary is
remediless, it is said, in the matter of
the use Of his daughters photograph
for advertising purposes by cigarette
firm. The picture, it is claimed, is an
ideal head, with some resemblance to
Miss Halford, and the dealers have
ayailed themselves of that fact to give
the young lady's to one brand of
their ware. Exactly how this lets the
dealers out is not clear. 1t would seem
to be quite as grievous an offense to
make an unauthorized use of ladv's
name in advertising cigarettes as SIM
liar use of her photograph. Even if
there is no legal redress Mr.. Halford
can not be wholly remediless. The
perpetrator of such an outrage can
usually be reached with g cane or
horsewhip, even when the nice techni-
calities of the law fail.

IT is curious fact that the old
Seventy-ninth Regiment of Cameron
Highlanders, which is stationed at
Balmoral during Queen Victorias resi-
dence in Scotland, does not contain a
single man in the corps whose name is
Cameron. On the other hand, there
are no less than $50 Macdonalds in the
ranks. In order to appreciate the
ludicrous side of this state of af-
fairs, it should be added that the
Highland clans of Cameron and Mac
donald have been on terms of bitter
enmity for several centuries.

points are then filed by hand, and after the

are ringed or f1attened. Tempering comes

The Results of the Repeal Of the Prohibit

The Results of the Repeal of the Prohibi-
tory Amendment i'll Rhode Island.
PROVIDENCE, r. I.-When the pro-
hibitory amendment was before the peo-
pie for repeal the plea was made by the
repealers that they were not engaged in q
pro-rum campaign. but were fighting for
true temperance, high license and rigid
restriction. The prohibitory article was
voted out Of the constitution, and the
duty OF drafting true Temperance" law
was laid upon the men responsible for
the change.
The result is that the State has been
given law more favorable to the rum.
sellers than it had before the enactment
of prohibition. Already there are more
rumshops in operation than there were
before the prchibitory amendment went
into effect. Protests have been of but
little avail.
