from such publications. Just before the
Tientsin massacre pamphlet was issued
charging the foreigners with stealing Chi
nese babies and cutting them I'D for nnedi-
cine. and the same stories were printed
and shipped over the empire by the million
during the riots OF three years ago. At
this time there were published eolored
prints, under the title of the Devils Pic
ture Gallery" These represented in the
vilest of scenes the alleged practices and
institutions OF the religion of the foreign
ers. l have secured n set of these prints,
and they lie before me as I write. have
also procured translation of the Chinese
characters which surround them and which
50 explain the pictures that the most ig-
norant Chinaman can see Just what they
mean. The word for hog and Jesus are
pronounced almost the same in Chinese
and the Christian religion IL called here the
worship of the hog. Among the pictures
are cuts OF hogs. labeled Jesus, hanging
TO crosses. with Chinese men and women
kneeling before them and other men and
women going through the most obscene
and lcentious performances In the back
ground. One of the hogs SO hung is filled
with arrows, which Chinese soLffers are
shooting into him, and a mandarin Is d.
recting the attack. The foreigners are rep
resented in these pictures by goats, the
words or characters representing the two
being practically the same, and one of the
cuts is entitled Slaughter the Pigs and
the Goats. Some cuts represent the
slaughter going on. and others incite the
people to rise against the hog sect" as
they call US. The pictures state that the
Christian religion is a worship of lust and
the pigs and goats are painted with green
heads, which In Chinese typifies this. Many
OF the paintings could not be described,
much less illustrated, in any respectable
newspaper. and the whole is incendiary
In the extreme. Many Of the common peo-
pie believe the stories. They look upon
US as demons. who are possessed of witch

publications are, by extracts from public

RUssIA's ARMIES OF BEGGAR.

Entire villages whose Inhabitants
Make a Livelihood Solely By Begging.
From The Lendor Daily Telegraph.
Mr.. GeofYrey Drage I'm the course Of q re-
port on Russia addressed to the royal COM
mission on labor contributes some interest
Ing details regarding beggars in that coun-
try. Thousands OF men. women and chill
cren. he says, regularly set out from their
homes with the object Of earning their Live
lihood, not by work. but By begging.
The "Shouvslfxi," who have their head
quarters In the villages Of Shouvalfki end
Kiln. are among the most notorious of these
bessars- They frequently travel In troops of
ten OF twelve. alleging that they have been
burnt out Of their homes and giving
graphic account Of the fire. At other times
they go out siugly and beg for aims, pre-
tending to be deaf and dumb or insane, with
placards round their necka testifying to
their infirmity. They travel on foot to the
Don and frequently return with a cart and
one IL not more horses
The district of Soudogda, which Is ona Of
the most unfertile parts of European Rus
STA. Is another headquarters Of the begyar
army. AS soon as field work Is over in the
autumn whole villages organize themselves
into artels and start out to beg. The whole
population Of the village Of Marinin lives
by means Of begging. CrippIes and blind
persons are In great request and flock from
the surrounding country into tho villages
to join those members of the begaar artel
who have no blind persons or oripples In
their own family. As soon as the fasting
season begins they return home with sheir
booty, which includes objects of the most
varied description. for they never refuse
any gifts These they sell at the next fair
and live during the spring and summer on
their profits and on what they can steal
from persons In their own neighborhood.
The example Of the Soudogoda bexgars
Eas been followed in other localities, espe-
cialIy In the governments Of Kostroma and
TveF. In the latter there is a group Of vii
lagos where girls and women earn their
livelihood by begging. Some of them find
their profession so lucrative that many
gars during the whole of their lives The
kaleuni travel with horse and cart and q
number of assistants and they choose their
companions from among the feeblest chill
dren cFipples. Blind children are highly
priced. and they frequently add to the pitt
full appearance of these children by taking
their eyes out Of their sockets. The fol-
lowers. of the kalount often MAIN their
hands and wound themselves. and II enough
real cripples cannot be obtained they are
manufactured by tying up one arm or leg
The kalouni seldom beg themselves, but
confine their attention to the supervision
eles obtained by the latter. Sometimes their
profits are enormous A kalouni, accom-
panied by two adults and four or five chill
dren, gets from five to ten roubies a week:
many take home much as Loco roubles,
leaving the children and cripples, through
whom they have gained their wealth, to
their fate.

An Easy Sinking.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harpers Bazaar.
It Is a fact patent and common that often
very fond and attentive parents of young
children develop into very cold and un-
sympathetic companions 10 grown-up sons
and daughters They romped with and
fondied their babies, but have neither heart
nor interest for the grown-up babies aims
and pursuits. AS the child grows older. and
his physical wants have been fully met ana

sense of responsibility gradually ceases. He
feels no longer accountable for this mans
or womans deeds or nsisdeeds. and settles
into a selfish disregard of what he cannot
help. It Is an easy way OF Sinking respefi-
sibility. 1t. is seen too often to be regarded
as unusual
Yet 1t is at this age that young people
need friends, confidants and advisers, quite
as much as when they were younger II
they do not find sympa thizing hearts at
home they win go somewhere else TO find
them. The questions that are propounded
the problems that are poured into the mail
and into the sympathies of public men ana
women editors, and every one who has the
slightest claim TO notice, attest this fact
The child you think tnoughtless or cold

his mind. When he comes to that point
that he needs listener or an adviser he
goes to some oneA-not YOU BY some heaven

who will point out the u1 road, and show
him how to start there. But II may not be
so, and no parent with any feeling of re-
sponsibilfty at all can afford to take the
chances.
Parents repei confidence IN many ways
by laziness; by feeling Of Inability to put
a right view of life into language which a
young person can grasp; by shrinking from
the unpleasantness Of unaccustomed topics
accompanied by an easy but futile hope that
instinct, or something else will teach the
Young man or woman what he or she needs
to know.
Unfortunately. however, instinct and
chance are not the best guides for young
people at critical periods Of their lives. The
age at which we make our most glaring and
far-reaching mistakes Is the ignorant age
And the parent who sends out young sons
and daughters into the world as lambs into
the midst of wolves. without giving them
the benefit of the experience his own mis-
takes and trials have taught him. must feel
self-condemned when the lambs come home
shorn, when the young men and women
spend years of struggle and pain retrieving
the plumbers from which little more can
dor and confidence might have saved Them
We must all live better ana learn TO live
higher because Of our mistakes, yet the
wish to save our children from the sa.ne err

Buying Up Curfos,
From the Boston Post.

rrOm the BoSton fost.
When the curfo dealers of New Orleans
learned recently that Eugene Field was
coming to their city, they brushed up their
stock. and every man who had curfo, even
of the most horrible description, prepared
himself for the Chicago poet. The Chicago
poet did not disappeint the dealers. No
sooner had he reached the town than he be-
gan his search, and 10 was noe long before
packages of every description began coming
to Mrs. Field at her Buena Park home
Everything was offered him, and what
struck his fancy was Immediately taken.
Now, the only value which money has in
Fields eyes is what 1t can buy him In the
way of oddities, and 1t doesn't matter Sc
much to the poet what shape these oddities
take, 50 bong as. as he says himself, they
are just devflish odd" Writing to a friend
from New Orleans a few days ago, the
author OF Little Boy Blue" says: "Say.

bankrupted me. and am about to begin
