schools; but not in a way to be of much
practical benefit and are never illustrated by
living examples, which in many cases might
easily be done. If some scholar, who had
just contracted cold, was brought before
the school, so that all could hear the dry,
loud cough and know its ignificance; see the
thin white ting on the tongue and later,
the cold developed, see the profuse watery
eXpectoration and thin watery discharge
from the nose, not one of them would ever
forget what the first symptoms of cold
were. The scholar should then be given

RELIGIOUS NOTES.

Though it is but 1 3 years since the
missionaries first penetrate ted into the
Congo region, says a Boston reli-
giOus journal, there are now 1900
commandments in the seven organized
churches. Out-stations and preach
ing posts are manned by native
evangelists Three missionary boats
are running back and forth on the up
per Congo, and two more are being
constructed. For most of the re-
suits already registered credit should
be given the representa- of the
English and American Baptist mis-
sionary societies. Much remains to
be done, for all of the 1,6SO,OOO
square miles which compose the
Congo state are accessible to the
missionaries. The district, it is esti-
mated, contains from 100000 to
SO,OOO,0OO of persons scattered
among some 20 tribes.
