Our Nlisslonnry In india

Our Missionary In India.
Sterne o. Parker is in receipt of some
very interesting letters from his daughter,
De. Harriet e. Parker, who sailed from
New York for Madura, India, Sept. %,
1895, as a medical missionary from the
american Board. DIR. Parker has had
many and varied experiences since she
Isached India and has been almost entirely
tree from physical ills. She has treated
Al kinds of diseases at the mission and at
her dspensary, including the dreaded lep-
rosy. She was thorough and dligent
student here and her work in India has
been characterized by the same painstaking
4Itention. She is often called out many
miles from the mission and ordinarily
travels in what is called a bullock handy,
which is a sort of cart drawn by bullocks,
the passengers being seated upon the bot
tom of the handy. In recent letter DR..
Parker wrote 81 have just been told that
The wife of a Brahmin lawyer wants to
see me professionally, but she wants me TO
come in the first half of the forenoon be-
lore she takes her 10 o'clock bath, other
wise she will have to go without food on
4ccount of my poiluting touch, until after
she has taken another BATH" DIR. Parker
Is inclined to the opinion that she herself
would be as much in need of bath as any
one after having touched a Brahmin. 1t
Is hard to realize there that we in New
England are enjoying cold winter weather
when in India it is so hot that the crops
are suffering. Pr. Parker made trip in a
bullock handy a short time ago to Mana
madura, 80 miles away. At that place
the mosquitoes are so thick that it is nee
essary to sleep under a netting. Having
corded the river near to the bungalow
where she was to stop, she went to bed
and in the morning was able to count hun
Adreds of the pests upon the netting over
her. Much rain has fallen during the past
8ummer but, Notwithstanding that fact,
IN letter dated Nov. IL DR.. Parker says
that the crops are drying up, that there is
scarcity of provisions in the presidency
81 Madras and that famine is expected
IN certain parts of India for which the
2Dyernment is making preparations. A
great deal of interest in the recent presi-
Genital election in the United States was
Manifested in India. At the mission
where DIR. Parker was located every one
vac in favor of Mckinley and Hobart and
egainst silver, "for," said she, 81 can tell
1n that shopping with silver money is
not very convenient. A pocket book will
hold only few dollars, so one has to car
81 along a bag or a box of coin and it is
very heavy" A doctor at the mission
made arrangements with a Madras news
aper whereby the result of the election
was telegraphed to the mission and cele-
blatiOn followed Immediately. The ladies
