NEW YORK. May sl.--Reports Of an en-
courasing nature concerning the progress
of Christian missions In Japan have beef;
received by the American board. Auc
anxiety has been felt regarding the work
in Japan i Statements from missionaries
for some years have been TO the effect that
the Christian religion was losing its foot
hold there ard that the Japanese, as they
became better educated in the arts and
sciences. were becoming ratioaalistic. Diff
ferences had also arisen between the native
Christians ard the missionaries relative ia
the teachings in the schools and colleges.
and 1t was finally found necessary Tor the
American board to order its missionaries
and teachers 10 withdraw from many In
stitutions Of learning which have bean
built or partly supported by the mission
funds When the situation became serious
about two years ago. the American board
sent deputation Of distinguished clergy
men to Japan TO make investigation as TO
the actual condition Of affairs. The report
OF the depusation was harSbF less encour-
aging than those from the missionaries.
but II was decided to still retain the mis-
sionaries. for time at least. on the field.

A correspondent OF the New York Her

The Surprise Being That He Dian't
Break Anything Else.

$3.50 80 WHA0( 0CBA8 o0t ne Ol0n'y
break Anything Else.
A few days ago Senator Perkins Of Cal
ifornia. made the discovery that he was
working too hard and taking too little ex-
ercfse. says the Washington correspondent
OF the Minneapolis Journal. For the last
two months he has answered upon an
average OF 200 letters a day. the great bulk
OF them being written to pestiferous office
seekers. This was too much even for a
man OF the business habits and capacity
OF the Republican senator from California
he was unable for while to figure out
just how he could take more exercise
without losing too much time. but finally
concluded that the journey between his
hotel and the capitol. performed four
times daily. could as well be made upon a
bicycle as In the street cars. The senator
Is man OF decision, and with him to
think is to act He concluded that II would
be more economical to learn to ride upon a
hired wheel In company with an employee
OF the senate. who Is a well-known Cali
fornia politician. he visited In succession
nearly half dozen bicycle establishments
As the senator would not positively assert
that he knew how 10 ride however the
proprietors Of these shops managed to
conveniently have all their wheels In serv-
ice. There was but one more place in
sight where there was possibility Of Sc
curing a wheel, and a bright idea struck
Gov. Perkins. He blandly remarked to
the clerk in charge:
II haven't been on a wheel since I left
California, and think viii take little
spin this afternoon. Can you give me a
good. strong machines"
Certainly" replied the young man, and
brought out stout last years wheel
The senator had given good excuse for
requiring the assistance Of his friend In
mounting. so that there was no surprise
at the fact Of this gentleman holding the
wheel while the scion took a firm seat
lie senator from California trod the decks
OF many vessels during his service as q
sailor. both before and aft the mast, but
II is safe 10 say that In all his experience
upon the sen he never wobbled as he did
upon this innocent two-wheeied machine
Mr.. Perkins Is man OF nerve ana deter
mination. however. and he made UP his
mind 10 keep his seat. even al the risk Of
breaking the fender upon one OF the cable
cars. His friend tro;ted bravely behind,
painting like a foxhound toward the finish
to hunt While the senator described
many eccentric curves, he never lost his
seat. and after he had gone half a dozen
blocks was able 10 manage the machine
without assistance. He rode three miles
on the trial trip. and has broken the rec
ord. For q man OF S. who weighs In the
refgnborhood of 200 pounds. this is con-
sidered u marvellous performance
