THE MISSIONS TO CHINA.
A Returned Missionary Tells OF His
Work and Its Perils.

Rev. William Upcraft, missionary
from the inland mission at Sui Foo. on
the river of the same name, in China,
spoke three times in the city yesterday.
His morning discourse was at the North
Seattle Baptist church, at Third and Cedar
streets. He made an address at 8 p. N. at
the First Baptist. and again at 7:30 at the
Market street Baptist church.
Mr.. Upcraft showed by a map his lines
of travel and his province. His parish.
he said. contained 20. 10000 of people.
He said that knowledge of medicine was
OF incalculable benefit to missionary, as
ones first introduction to the natives was
through being asked to treat them med
ically. Mr.. Upcraft gave vigorous de-
scriptlon of one of his mission tours, dur
ing which he was twice mobbed and
nearly lost his lite in both cases. He
closed with an appeal for more mission
aries in the field so rich and yet so poorly
supplied. The impression created by Mr..
Upcraft has been excellent. and at the
First church two members announced TO
him their determination to go to China as
missionaries

japanese in this city are maintained by

mission school meets every night. on
James street, between Fifth and Sixth,

fessed Christianity.

SOME COLD WEATHER RULES.
What Everybody Should Preserve and
Live Up To.

Never lean with the back upon any
thing that is cold
Never begin journey until breakfast
has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then i'm
mediately go out into the cold.
Keep the back, especially, between the
shoulder blades, well covered also The
chest we'll protected.
In sleeping in cold room, establish q
habit of breathing through the.nose, and
never with the mouth open.
Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet.
Never omit regular bathing, for, unless
the skin is in active condition the cold
will close tho pores and favor congestion
and other diseases.
After exercise of any kind never ride
in an open carriage or near the window
OF a car for moment; it is dangerous to
health or even life.
Whsn hoarse speak rs little as possible
until the hoarseness is recovered from,
else the voice may be permanently lost,
or difficulties of the throat be reduced.
Merely warm the back by the fire, and
never continue keeping the back ex-
posed to the heat after it has become
comfortably warm. To do otherwise is
debilitating.
When going from warm atmosphere
into q cooler ,one, keep the mouth closed
SO that the air may be warmed in
its passage through the nose before it
reaches the lungs.
Never stand still iii cold weather, es-
pscially after having taken a slight de-
gree of exercise. and always avoid stand
ing on ice or snow, or where the person
is exposed to cold wind

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,

At this festive season of the year, q
season at which each man vies with
his neighbor in the making of some gift
0 the mem bers Of his immediate family
and friends, it is peculiarly fitting, that
the UNIQUE advantages of Life Insur-
ance should be kept in view. The ten
dency of the age is to be PRACTICAL,
and it is therefore worthy of note by
those who contemplate making holiday
presents, that nothing can exceed for
benefcence and solidity a Life Policy
which will in the event of the death of
the bread-winner protect the Home and
afford nurture and sustenace to the
bereaved, be they old or young. It does
not require any very vivid fight of
imagination to comprehend the nossibili-
ties of ffty-fold return conseouant nm

TIE New ASSISTANT ATTORNEY
The Suffolk Herald has the following
to say of the selection of Mr.. r. Il.
Prentiss as Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney
Maj. Francis Il. L.assiter, of Peters
burg, the newly-appoinled United
States District Attorney for the Eastern
district of Virginia, few days after his
confirmation rendered the assistant at
torneyship to our townsman, Mr.. Il. r.
Prentiss. Mr.. Prentiss was in 10 sense
a candidate for this place, but was Maj.
Iassiter's most formidable rival for the
first place. After due consideration,
however, and on consultation with his
friends he decided to accept the place
so gracefully rendered him. We con-
gratulate the government on securing
his services. This selection gives as
surance that the business of the office,
so far as committed to him, will be con-
Quoted with skill aud the best legal
ability according to the very highest
standards of justice and propriety. Mr..
Prentis will have especial charge of the
business in the Norfolk courts, and his
clients will be glad to know that his
duties there will not be so arduous as
TO interfere with his general practice" "
