Christianity in China.

A copy of an interesting tablet, con-
Meeting the early history of Christian
ity with the ancient Empire of China,
has been received by the Woman S
College and placed in its rapidly grow
ing Oriental collection.
It is rub made upon rice paper,
seven feet and half long by three
feet wide, thus reproducing in exact
ness the tablet recently found near
Se.San-Foo, which was, fifteen hun
dred years ago, the capital of the Chi
nese, Empire.
In the year 633 of the Christian era
a priest of the HISTORIAN faith, an ear
ly sect of Christianity widely popular in
the East, arrivedin China from Rome.
This priest, whose name was Olopeen
or Olueun, won the favor of the reign
ing Emperor, Tai-TsiDg, and the latter
encouraged the spread of Christianity
in his Empire, built churches and had
Chinese believers ordained as Chris
tian priests.
The tablet records this early at.
tempt to Christianize China, part Of
it being in Chinese characters and
part in HISTORIAN characters. There
is given an abstract of Christian doc
trine, an account Of the coming Of
Olopeen, bringing sacred books ano
images, and the history Of the church
down to the year 79O. There is a.sc
recapitulation of these facts in eight
syllabled verse written in 7S1.

Rams Horn Blasts.

Young lions are often very lame.
Getting the big head shrinks the
heart.
The fears we borrow are the hardest
to drive away.
Whenever the flesh is on the throne
the devil is king.
Unless you want to be poor. don
try to keep all you get.
The man will always be busy who
truly follows Christ.
The devil has no better helper than
Misunderstanding lie.
It is harder to dine with some men
than it is to fast alone.
We are rich, not in what we have, but
in what we cannot lose.
Is there anything the devil can
make out of an envious man?
Live to do good, and you will never
tire of your employment.
When you pray for revival, don't go
to church with long face.
The more men disappoint us, the
more we should have faith in God.
When a little man is lifted up, ev-
erybody finds out that he is little.
The man who thinks he knows 9TH
ers, is a great stranger to himself.
The man who would be considered
wise often turns out to be otherwise.
Do away with a personal devil,
and there is no need Of personal
Christ.
1t is mistake to call anything sue
cess that is not according to God S
plan.
If you knew that tomorrow would
be your last day how would you spend
this?
There are some very important les
sons which can only be learned from a
mistake.
It's doubtful if there is any man who
has not at some time in his life been a
hypocrlte.
The man who has lived only for him
self has wasted his time and robbed
the world.
There can be no true and abiding
comfort and peace that is not rooted
and grounded in faith.
The man who has never used his
eyes to consider the mercies of God:
has used them to small purpose.
Turning mad dog loose isa triaing
thing, compared to what the devil can
do with gossiping tongue.
In the very same breath with which
Jesus said, "Let not your heart be
troubled" he also said "Believe. -
The man who refuses to walk in the
light as God gives it, has only him
self to blame for what happens in the
dark.
Do good as often as you have oppor-
tunity, and the Lord will see to it that
your time and talents are well employ

A Homesick Hippopotamus. :.

During Bayard Taylor S visits to the
geological gardens in London he no,
ticed hippopotamus which lay in its
tank apparently oblivious of its sur
roundings. Entering into conversation
with the keeper one morning, he was
told that the creature refused to eat,
and was gradually starving itself to
death. II fancy it's homesick," ad-
ded the keeper. "He's a fine speci-
men, and it seems pity we should
lose him, but he's moped ever since
the keeper who had charge of him on
board the steamer left. He pays no
attention to anything I say
Learning that the creature came
from part Of Africa he had once Wis

ed forward and addressed it in a dia-
lect used by the hunters and keepers
of that region. The animal lifted it's
head and the small eyes opened. Mr..
Taylor repeated his remark, when what
does Mr.. Hippo do but paddle slowly
over to where he stood. Crossing to
the other side Of the tank, the expert
ment was repeated with the same re-
suit, the poor thing showing unmis-
taxable signs of JOY, even consenting
to receive food from the hand Of his
new friend.
Mr.. Taylor paid several visits to
the gardens, being always noticed by
his African friend; finally, before
leaving the city, he taught the keeper
the few sentences he had been in the
habit of addressing to the hippopota-
mus, and went his way.
Two years later he was in London,
and, curious to know the result, again
paid his respects to his amphibious
friend. TO his surprise, the creature
recognized his voice at once, and ex-
pressed his Joy by padding from
side to side of his tank after his visit

Bayard Taylor says it convinced
him that even hippopotamus may

A farmer of Cynthian township.

new to the farmer, and he attested mis-
appreciation of it by remarking:
'This beats all nation, don't it ?,
The salesman smilingly remarked
that he rather thought it did. In the
meantime, son of the farmer became
impatient, and came into the store

Bloodhound on n Trail.

In the State house of correction at
Rutland, Vt there is huge dog
which is just now the centre of attrac,
ton. 1t is Pilot, the bloodhound, and
so many people 60 to see him every
day that it has been found necessary
to set aside certain hours for the pur-
pose.
The cause for all this admiration is
the fact that Pilot has just proved to
everybody that he is really worth
more, in certain emergencies, than the
entire police department of the town
though in Rutland the police are few.
Heretofore Pilot has been looked upon
as sort of nuisance, worthless ex-
pense; but never did a greater change
of sentiment take place.
A year ago several prisoners escaped
from the house of correction, and Pilot
was purchased by the State that he
might track and assist in bringing
back any one who in future broke Jail.
But nobody ran way, and naturally
there was nothing or him to do.

the pretty 4-year-old daughter of
John c. Putnam of the little settle.
ment of Mill village disappeared. All
the neighbors joined in the search for
her. Night and day the hunt contin-
ued, butnot trace of the little one
could be discovered. The parents were
| in despair; it was feared that the child
had been kidnapped. Finally the
father. in desperation suggested that
possibly Pilot could find some trace.
Anxious to do anything that would
in the least relieve the father mind,
the officials took the dog to Mill vii
lage.
The dog was then given a tiny shoe
that had been worn by the child the
day before she disappeared. This he
held in his mouth for a minute: then
he dropped it and shifted the air. He
seemed puzzled, and the knowing ones
were beginning to remark that they
knew the hound would not be of any
use. 1t really seemed as if the animal
understood their words, for he sudden
ly put his nose to the ground and was
off like shot, dragging his keepers
after him.
On he went, crossing roads, fields
and timber stretches, until he reached
DEVILS camp, point about a mile be.
low Rutland, where there is small
mill stream. Here the animal sud
denly brought up at the edge of the
water, gave one bark and refused to 60
farther.
Then the men got to work. They
procured hooks and poles, and the bed
of the stream was thoroughly search
ed. All this time Pilot stood by the
waterside, though attempts were made
to drag him away. For the first time
since he had been in the State he re-
fused to obey the voice of his keeper.
Toward night the body Of the missing
child was found. AS it was drawn to
the shore Pilot sprapg forward, took
the shiny dress in his mouth, raising
the child as tenderly as though it had
been in it's mother arms, trotted back
to the house, the long line of searchers
following.
When once the animal had placed
the body in the home Of the unhappy
parents, he walked to his keepers
side and was taken back to Rutland.
But all of the people Of that region
honored the dog, and one Of the chief
mourners at the funeral was Pilot,
who had a coach all to himself, his
keeper sitting on the box with the
driver. philadelphia Inquirer.

A Sons Love.

Professor Drummond might insert
in a new edition of 'The Greatest
Thing in the World" this touching
story, told in the Contributor, of the
winning power Of love:
A mother was arrested for intoxica'
tion and arraigned before the Judge
"Seven dollars and sixty cents fine,
said the Judge, sternly. But the wo:
man had not a cent. Her 7-year.olc
boy said to his tiny sister:
"Comc on; we've got to get that
money or mam'll have to 60 to Jail
Just wait, Mr.. Judge, an we'll get it,!
The children hurried out of the
courtroom, and, going from store to
store, solicited contributions to 'keeI

promising to return the money as soon
as he could earn it.
Soon he came back. and, laying 6
handful of change on the desk, ex

Ran o Corpse Trust.

LYNcnBURG. Va, Feb. 2O.-N. j.
Farmer, sexton of the city's burying
grounds, was arrested this afternoon
and bailed for his appearance in the
police court to answer the charge Of
unlawfully disintcrring last night the
body Of Ella Jameson, the white wo-
man who committed suicide on We'd
nesday by drowning.
The woman was buried at the city S
expense yesterday and last night the
body was disinterred, packed in bar
rel and sent to the depot for shipment
to the University of Virginia.
The police authorities believed that
Farmer had been engaged for some
time in the practice of disinterring
bodies for money consideration and
a careful watch was kept on the Gem
etery last night, with the result as
stated. Farmer admitted that he had
been shipping bodies to the Universi
ty, but claims that he had right to
do 81 under the law.

= A queer family was unearthed
near Lapaz, Ind, the other day 1t
consists Of family without a tooth.
Jas. Leonard is the father. He is
past so years of age and has passed
this much of his life sound and happy
without the assistance of a molar or
even baby tooth. None ever grew.
Twenty years ago he married woman
who had as fine a set of teeth as could
be found. She still possesses them.
They had four children, all of whom
are full grown and perfect in regard to
health, butwho, like their father, never
had Il tooth in their head. Their gums,
however, come down much further
than is ordinarily the case and are as
hard and firm as bone.

A Home Thrust.

Col. Robert G.. G. Ipgersoll has publicly
apologized for suicide and even advocated
it. He did this about ono year ago, and
was admonished that the result of his
teaching might be disastrous. We do not
know that the frequent cases of self
slaughter which have happened since he
spoke can be directly traced to his utter
ances, but circumstantial evidence may
demonstrate that he is not blameless. A
few days ago, the Colonel's clerk, Robert
J. Wilson, attempted to destroy his life
with prussic acid. The New York Herald
recounts the following tragedies which
bring the Colonel face to face with his
teachings:
William Sanford Lawton, who was for
several years student in Col. Ingersolls g
office, shot himself to death in Lincoln
Park, Chicago last Saturday.
Norman S. Mussey, who had been the
Colonel's chief clerk, took his'life on Au-
gust II, last. He jumped from station
of the Sixth avenue elevated railroad and
| ran up the track toward an approaching
| train.
He leaped from the track to the ground
when he found that he was pursued by Q
brakeman. Both his legs were broken by
the fall, and he died from his injuries 6
| few days later.

Sixty Days in the Air.

French aeronauts are making active
preparations for voyage to the pole by
balloon in much the same manner as was
proposed last year by Andree. TIE aero
nauts GODDARD and Surcouf have decided
finally to make the attempt. This journey
is to take place in the spring of 1898, and
the preparations for the undertaking have
already been started. An immense bal
loon is being constructed for them. and
will be named "La France" 1t is to con-
tain l0,S47 cubic meters, equal to almost
100000 cubic feet Of gas, and its circum-
ference around its widest part will be $50
feet. 1t will carry without trouble 26, 600
pounds, and thus it will be possible to fit
out balloon expedition consisting Of
seven men. These will include GODDARD
as the commander, Surcouf as his mate,
two second aeronauts, so that two practi-
cal men will always be in charge Of the
balloon; an experienced Artic explorer,
a meteorologist, and a physician and
chemist. The meteorologist is to be a
delegate Of the Geographical society society OF OF
France; the physician navy-surgeon, to
be selected by the minister of marine.
Particular care is being taken in the
construction of the air-tight cover of the
balloon in order to reduce the loss Of gas
during the, journey to minimum. Twelve
small balloons will be attached to the out
side OF the monster balloon and act as
gasometers; that's, replace the actual loss
of gas in the big balloon continually, and
in this way it is proposed to keep the
balloon floating in the air for 60 days.
The inner arrangement will permit the
balloon to retain its circular shape, even
if a large quantity ofgas should be lost
GODDARD made his calculations on the basis
of striking wind not exceeding four
meters (l3 feet) per second, 30 that the
journey from Spitzbergen to the Behrine
Straits, distance of over 1000 miles
might be accomplished in less than II
days. According to all authorities the
winds in these regions ordinarily exceed
the above figure and average almost
double tho speed, 30 that much faster
voyage might be anticipated. A ballast
of IS, 900 pounds will enable the aeronautE
to reach great attitudes, even after con-
siderable loss of gas. The two daring ex
plorers hope to be able to exhibit theil
balloon at the Paris exposition of 1900
with the simple inscription, "Retour dr
Pole Nord" (Returned from the NORTH
Pole .)-Philadclphia Record.
