ALICE SAME LIKE Mclean MAN

Hop Sings Original Idea for Encour-
aging Trade on the Christian Plan.
The "ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain" of the heather Chinee"
are not eXemplified alone in familiar
ity with the resources of the card
sharper's trade, says a writer in the
New York Herald. 1 will acknowledge
that my determination to employ Hop
Sing as my laundryman was largely
Influenced by the fact that conSpicu-
ously displayed about his little shop
were Sundry Christian notices, such
as 1.-THE Lord giveth and the Lord TAX
eth away; blessed be the name Of the
Lord;' HE that giveth to the poor,
lendeth to the Lord" "'God bless our
home" and so on. From this in
ferred that Hop Sing was q brand
plucked from the burning. 1 grew 10
quite like the fellow, and often had
occasion to reproach myself that 1 fell
so far short of his standard of imper-
turbable good nature and 'untiring In
duStry. l never doubted the sincerity
of his conversion until the other day,
when, happening to drop in with my
weekly bundle of collars and cuffs for
the wash, I found him lacking up some
chromos of sacred pictures.
''Why, Hop" l said, delighted, "if
this thing goes on you will soon be
holding a Sunday school class of your
own here"
I thought for a moment that de-
tected Hop in the act of winking his
other eye at his companion, but was
probably mistaken.
NO." he replied, with an expression
of infantile candor, me no teachee
Sunday schoolee; me makee tlade
good"
"Why," said when comprehended
him sufficiently to take in the purport
of his answer, "do you mean to say
that you put up these things simply to
attract customers"
Gale same likee Mclean man." he
replied, with grin; "allee same. Nell
can man takee Chinaman's joss signs,
put 'em on tings, make UNI sell; make
em tink Chinaman make UNI. Why
for not Chinaman quite Mclean mans
joss signs round um shop; makee Nell
can man feel good; makee Mclean
man give Chinaman work."
I knew that Hop Sing was guilty Of
gross hypocrisy, but for the life Of me
[ could not think of anything to say
that would convince him of the helm
BUSINESS of his offense. And though I
have lost confidence in him, still let
him wash my collars and suffs.

Delhi, he put to death 100000 male

The Polar City.

Numbers of explorers who have
sought the Arctic regions in quest Of
the Pole, have told of mysterious city
mirrored against that northern sky
stately buildings in choice architecture,
tall and imposing spires, but such as
differ from anything we know of.
Whether the foundation of this mirage
is reality and only unacceptable be-
cause of transpositiOn as to directions,
whether it is a work of some mysteri-
Gus remnant of our race that once oc-
cupied the Pole, or whether this is some
fanciful feature of the frost, as the pc
culiar shrubbery we sometimes see on
the window pane whatever this is, it
must be consigned to the perplexing
enigmas of the unknown region. Who
knows but that some spot, once the the
alter of busy and advanced human life,
may have escaped the general cata
clysmal wreck, and that this city may
be the silent and as yet undiscovered
witness Of pre-polar time, standing
alone in the dead desolation, in the
rigid shroud of now polar death! If
we must be barred from entering this
undiscovered country, we may add to
our equipment by a careful noting OF
it's mirage, and then give to the bases Of
these phenomena a most thorough

Shanghai is China's chief port, and
contains about 100000 inhabitants, who
are under native rule, and the English,
American and French settlements, -
with 100000 Chinese and 5000 foreign

In that city tremendous congregations
gather in the mission churches, and
there are to be found the largest Sun

also the largest mission press in the
world. More than 1000 Chinese con-

In the mission press electrotyping and

KANSAS CHURCH AFFAIRS.

Topeka Journal: At the annual meet
ing of the First Presbyterian church a
proposition to reduce the salary of DR..
Anderson was defeated. At an adjourned
meeting of the congregation there were
three hundred and seventY-six members
of the church present. The question OF
the retention of DIR. Anderson as pastor
was presented through motion ''That
it is the sentiment of the congregation
that there should be change in the pas
torate' When the motion was finally
put, one hundred and eight members
voted that they desired change of pas
tor and two hundred and sixty-eight
voted that they did not desire change.
While large majority of the members
of the church voted in. favor of the re-
tention of DIR. Anderson as pastor, some
of the prominent members OF the
church, who have from the first been
standing by the present pastor, are OF
the opinion that on account OF the large
minority vote, which shows some dissat-
isfaction, DR.. Anderson will resign and
leave the church free to look for anoth-
~ pastor.

STOCK AND FARM.

March was busy month with Kansas
City, Kan, packers. Notwithstanding
the burning of the Reid packing house
a week ago, there were more cattle,
calves and sheep killed than in any pre-
vious March in the history of the trade.
The number of hogs was nearly as large
as in March, 1894, and would have been
as large but for the falling off in the re-
ceipts. The killing was: Cattle, 61,784;
calves, 2,O57; hogs, 163,791, sheep, A.
651. Total 269, 283. For three months
including March there were A, 697 more
hogs received than the same time last
year, and SO, 724 more sheep. but fall
ing off in the receipts of cattle of 49,
$3.50.
