MISSIONARIES IN CHINA.
Grave Mistakes Made by inexperienced
Men and Women.

Nothing is more remarkable than the
extraordinary and needless zeal of the
modern missionary in China. Regard
less Of all dangers, the young aspirants
for missionary work, needless of former
mishaps, make the long and weary voy-
ages into the interior far from any help.
have seen young married people,
with child clinging to the breast of its
mother, start out from Shanghai for
the north, not knowing one word of the
Chinese language. The force of folly
could no further go. Of the great inn
portance of knowing the Chinese
language. before attempting to preach,
and of the patience required in master
ing the same, too much cannot possibly
be said. In the mandarin" which is
the dialect used by oil officials in the
is provinces, there are to every sound
four distinct tones. If the young mis-
sionary, after studying for year or
more the common everyday phrases and
characters, starts out an itinerary from
the stations, and during street sermon
does not use the right tone or infection
of his voice with certain sound, he will
convey to his hearers an absolutely
different meaning from that intended.
The four tones in the mandarin" are:
First, an ascending tone, giving high
explosive sound as when in anger; sec
ond, a rising infection as when. making
an inquiry; third, a curving, and fourth,
q lowering infection. The language,
containing tens of thousands of words
and characters, has only 200 or 300
sounds, which necessitates the great
tone difficulty. European children,
born in China, hear and reproduce the
tones naturally and unerringly, but tho
tones and ears of the missionary must
be trained by careful and persevering
attention. Serious troubles have ut
times been traced to blunders made by
slips of the tongue and neglect in using
the proper tone.
Ignorance in this matter may lead to
speaking disparagingly of old customs
or perhaps an unintentional condem-
nation of the sacred rites expounded by
Confucius. Old and experienced
missionaries assert that it is a great
mistake, and very often the cause Of
grave consequence, to allow inexperi-
enced men and women to deal with
Chinese, whose passions lie in n DOR
mant state until aroused, when at the
slightest provocation they break forth
with the fury of wild beasts.-Philndel-

Limitations Which Surround Animals in
Their Flight.

Limitations Which Surround Animals in
Their Flight.
It is evident that not one of these
would-be flying machine men has ever
seriously undertaken to solve the prob
lem mentally. There is but one way of
getting through the air by mechanical
action, and that is by cleavage. There
are really only two forms of cleavage,
the one as represented by wing action
as applied by insects and birds. the
other a rotary action as represented by
the screws of steamer. To the APP
plication of the wing principle there is
a limit set by natural law, just as in
animal forms there is limit set to
either bipedal or quadrupedal construc-
ton.
There is. perhaps, no form of cleavage
that represents the expenditure of force
more economically than wing action as
manifested in the fight of a wild goose.
Here is an exceptionally large avoirdu-
pois for the wing area, but the bird
cannot carry any additional weight.
In the birds of prey the body is lighter
in proportion to wing surfaces light,
compact frame, but immense muscular
action, capable of carrying for short
distance load of from eight to twelve
pounds. lHi
But the limit is soon found, and there
is not winged creature on the earth
weighing so pounds that can mount
into the air and cleave rs true flyer.
Why do not the ostrich, the great aux,
the emu and other congeners OF these
bird tribes properly fly, since they are
equipped with cleayers as are other
birds of flight? Walkers and swim
mers, as well as flyers, are all, by natur-
al law, limited within certain restric-
tons, and it is remarkable that these
inventors have not learned this, as it is
fact of the utmost Importance, and
one which, in a careful analysis, must
early disclose itself.-Pittsburgh Dis

TWO TESTED RECIPES.
A Rich Pie and Cookies That Arc Pcr-
fectly Harmless.

A Rich Pie and Cookies That Arc Per-
fectly Harmless.
Tutti-Frutti Plea delicious fruit
pie, which Is sort of mock inince, may
be made in the following manner:
Take a pound of selected figs (perfer-
ably those packed in California, as be-
ing cleaner), wash them thoroughly,
and stew until sweNed to their natural
size. Cut Off their stems and put them
into a chopping-bowl. Add half
pound of seedless raisins, the same
amount of prepared currants, little
citron, a sprig of candied ginger, one
large juicy apple peeled, and the juice
and entire rind of lemon.
Chop all of these ingredients together
evenly, and when minced quite fine
stew for five minutes in sufficient liquor
OF the f1gs to cover the fruit. Add one
cup Of graduated sugar, one grated
nutmeg, a pinch of cloves and one OF
cinnamon, bake in pie with lattice
top, from paste whichis not too rich.
suitable recipe for such puff paste
may be made thus; To pint of flour,
take quarter of n pound of lard,
pinch of salt, n pint of ice water and
one-half of pound of good butter.
Cut the lard into the -four with knife.
add salt and mix the water into this,
until dough is formed. Roll out light
ly. Spread the surface with it's bits Of
butter, sprinkle with -four, roll up, pro-
ceeding in like manner until all Of
the butter is used, perhaps four or five
times. This Is an excellent pie-crust
for such rich pie, although scarcely
"short" enough for an ordinary fruit or
custard filling, in which case three
quarters of q pound of butter should be
used. This tutti-frutti pie may be made
also of stewed prunes, instead Of ags,
and perhaps TO the taste OF many per-
sons would be improved by the substi-
tuition. 1t Is better when eaten the
same day as baked, but WAL prove
palatable the day following also, when
quite cold. This quantity will make
several pies.

WOMAN AND HOME.
COMMANDS A REGIMENT.


Empress Augusta Victoria Is n Full Pledged
Coionel--In Nominal Charge of One of
the Finest Organizations In the Piussinn
Army-Famous Queen Louise One of Her
Predecessors.
1t is not generally known that the
empress of Germany is full-hedged
colonel of one of the finest regiments in
the vast army of the empire.
The advent of the new woman has
nothing to do with the military prom
inence of this lady. The dead and gone
German queens were colonies before
the new woman was ever thought of.
The dowager empress is also colonel
and so are number of other women of
the royal house of Germany. OF course
their military standing is largely NOM
inal. There is not one chance in TO-
900 that these queens and duchesses
will ever do anything more warlike
than don pretty feminine edition of
the uniform OF favorite regiment and
rcview the soldiers on some festival oc-
casion.
That is about all that King Williams
wife does, but her soldiers feel that they
nre more honored than the average, and
to be member of the queens regiment
is esteemed most fortunate piece of
good luck.
The regiment coloneled by the en-
press is known as the queens regiment

Indian Privileges In Maine.

There is trouble among the Penob-
scot Indians at Indian Island, Oldtown,
IL miles from Bangor, the home of the
largest and most important Indian
tribe in Maine, over an order of the
Maine Central railroad, just issued, that
they must pay full fare when travelling
oil that road. For 60 years the In
dams have been allowed to pay the same
fare as children, the custom having it's
origin here. When the Bangor d
Vesie, the first railroad in Maine, was
built, the road carried many Indians
up river, and Gen. Samuel Nesie, of this
city, then the wealthiest man in Maine,
who was president of the road, allowed
the Indians to ride at children's rates,
and for 60 years since the custom has
continued. The Indians declare that
If the Bangorq& Aroostook railroad
follows the example of the Maine Cen
trail, they will bring suits for heavy
damages against the company. They
claim that the road, formerly the Ban
cor 4 Piscataquis, was allowed TO
cross Orson and Black Islands without
paying damages, provided Indians we're
allowed to ride for half fare forever

of Pommeranian cuirassiers. It's war
record is most brilliant one, 1t having
been the favorite regiment of Frederick
the Great. On June 4 last the command
celebrated the 150th anniversary Of the
greatest battle 1t ever fought.
The celebration took place at Passe-
walk, near Berlin, and the empress, on
fine military charger and wearing the
uniform of her command, reviewed the
troops. The empress is fine horse
woman and gets almost as much
pleasure out of the evolutions as her
husband. is@' h#'
The battle celebrated was that of
Hohen-Friedberg. The regiment was
then under the command of Frederick
the Great, and attacked the combined
Austrian and saxon forces. TWAS due
entirely to tic heroic work of the sol
diers of the Bayreuth dragons, as the
regiment was then called, that the bat
tie was won. They made $500 prison
ers, captured &C battleflags, 20 cannon,
and conquered ten regiments of Aus
trials best veteran troops.
The regiment is one in which the
reigning family of Germany takes
peculiar interest. 1t was founded on
June 1. 1921. by Frederick William l.,
king OF Prussia, and father of Freder-
ick the Great. The reigning family
was descended from Frederick of Ho-
henzollern, German count in $50, and
Frederick William, the elector of Bran
denberg, 1640-SS, whose son, the king
OF Prussia, was the founder Of the
regiment which was first called the
Schulcnberg Dragons. Later 1t was
called the Bayreuth Dragons, but upon
the death of the late count of Bayreuth
in 1903, it was given its present title.
In 1905 the famous Queen Louise took
upon herself the title of colonel of this
regiment, and since then all the sue
teeding wives of the Prussian kings have
done the same. Queen Louise inspect
ed her regiment regularly, and took
great interest in it's welfare. Then, as
now, the uniform was white, but In the
battle of Hohcn-Friedberg 1t was
clothed in light blue. In 1919, two
years before the celebration of its
Tooth anniversary, the regiment was
changed from dragon to cuirassier.
From the ranks of the Pommeranians
the queens guard, which is always near
her, rs chosen. This guard Is com
manded by an officer of the regiment,
and he is held responsible for the safe
ty of the royal lady. The guard has
quarters near the imperial palace and
is on an equal footing with the garde
du corps, which looks out for the safe
ty of the emperor.
In all the great wars that Germany
has had in the last century and half,
the Pommeranians have taken n prom
inent part. There is nothing feminine
about the fighting abilities of the regi-
mcnt, Notwithstanding that it's colonel
is woman. 1t was regarded as the best
regiment of all the German forces in
the Franco-Prussian war, and the old
Emperor William, in the heat of battle,
often called out: Where are the Hohen-
Iriedbergers?"sfs slliim tsjg a8a ti
The Pommeranians have their own
band the musicians being mounted upon
fine horses. 1t is the ambition of the lit
tie Princess Victoria Louise, the only
daughter of the empress, to be colonel
of regiment. She regards her mother
as the finest soldier in the, land when
the. empress is gowned in her uniform.
