An eminent lady missionary In Bur-

instructive but somewhat startling chap

tours, she said, she came upon village
where cholera was raging. Having with
her a quantity Of a famous painldller
she went from house to house admin
istering the remedy to the invalids and
left number OF bottles to be used after
she had gone. Returning to the village
some months after, the missionary was
met by the head man Of the community,
who cheered and delighted her by this
intelligence: Teacher, we have come
over TO your side. The medicine did us
20 much good that we have accepted
your God"
Overjoyed at this news, she was con-
Quoted to the house of her informant,
who, opening room. showed her the
painlSilier bottles solemnly arranged IN
a row upon shelf, and before them the
whole company Immediately prostrated
themselves in worship. Modern Church.

Remedies ~ Chinese Trades Unions.
The trades unions OF China resort to
terrible remedies In order TO carry out
their ends heard of case In Shang-
hal where an employer did something
contrary to the rules Of the guild of his
workinen. His men objected, but he re-
fused to aocede TO their demands, and
they concluded 10 make an example Of
him. He had more than 100 men work
ing for him. These al concerted sig
nal sprang upon him and commenced
biting him. They had leader, and this
leader would not let one OF the men 90
away from the place without showing
his teeth. aud Il the teeth and gums were
bloody he was allowed to 60 ont.
Tho plot was gotten mp on tho basis
that there was do capital punishment in
China Tor biting. They bit the man to
death aud the matter came to the cars OF
the government. There was a little
fuss about 1t. but the guild was a stroua
one, and only the man who took the first
bits was punished. The punishment Of
members within the guild for acting
contrary TO It's rules are equally terrible.

furnished consumers in Ashcvillc for some
time past.
Every heavy rain, Mr.. Inslc says,
floods the filter on College street with
mud. The rains also damage the lines
through which water is carried to the
old reservoir or "Patton's Baby,' tre.
quently making the supply from that
reservoir of little account.
To clean out the filter with water
will require about an hour each
morning, and if this were done regularly,
as i should be, Mr.. lnglc thinks the
water supply would thus be so depleted
as to make it impossible to give the city
its absolutely necessary supply. He has
had to choose between the alternative OF
furnishing muddy water or encroaching
seriously OH the supply each day.
Mr.. lnglc says that hereafter he will
clean out the filter about each second
or third day. The real trouble he says
is that the present water supply is not
sufficient.
The people want to know WHY there is
so much delay in getting out the spccl
hcations for the new plant that is tt
give us plenty of pure water.

piled the brakes instantly and the train,
on which there were over OpassenGcrs,
was brought to standstill only few
feet from the washOut.
The train returned to Ashcvillc and the
passengers spent the night here, delayed
on their trip, but feeling Gratiied to the
engineer tor saving them from what
might have been serious accident.
The wrccking force OF the Western

track was repaired by O'Clock this after
noon. The delayed train left here about
