JAVA'S SIZE.

Java is nearly the same size as the
state of New York, 1t has an area of
1917 square miles. 1t supports a pop
ulations of 2i,OOO,OOO, a population Of
$50 to the square mile Belgium the
most densely populated country of Eu-
rope, has $40 persons to the square
mile, All Java, says the author Of
Java, the Garden of the East" who
has lately visited the island, is in a
way finished as Holland is finished,'the
whole island cultivated from edge to
edge, like a tulip garden, and connect
ed throughout it's length with post
roads, smooth and perfect as park
drives, all arched with tamarlnd, teak
or other trees, All the valleys, plains
and hillsides are planted i'm formal
rows, hedged, terraCed, banked, drained
and carefully weeded as a flower bed.

WINE WITHOUT ALCOHOL.
SteriliZed Grape Juice is Made in
Switzerland.

Those interested in temperance move
ments and others will be glad to learn
that in Switzerland the manufacture
Of non-alcoholic fruit and grape fruit
beverages is conducted on quite a
large scale. These beverages not only
afford a pleasant drink, but contain
considerable nourishment as well. Ac-
cording to a report issued by the Swiss
agricultural experimental station, fruit
and grape juices entirely free from al
cohol, and of durable and keeping quail
tiles are manufactured in that coun-
try by a number Of firms.
1t is well known that fermentation
is caused by the action of certain mic
robes which exist already in the fruit
before crushing, and which rapidly in
crease thereafter. 1t is also well known
that by fermentation the sugar is de-
composed one Of the products Of de-
composition being alcohol. IT, there
fore, the microbes are killed in time
the sugar will not be decomposed and
no alcohol will be produced. The ster-
ilization required for this purpose is
obtained by killing the microbes by
subjecting the juices to a heat of 60
degrees Centigrade for fifteen minutes,
and afterward carefully excluding all
air, which likewise contains fermen-
tive organisms. The non -fermented
wares contain a considerable quantity
Of nourishment not only i'm the form
of albumen, but also a considerable
quantity OF saccharine and Just the
kind of sugar most beneficial to the
human body.

in POI primary schools. which are at
tended by 39,7O7 Javanese pupils. The
Dutch colonial officials are specially
trained for their work at HARLEM,
and are compelled to be perfected to
the Javanese tongue and in the local
laws. on the land, sugar, coffee,
spices indigo, quinine are raised, and
the native labor is happy and COM
Portable, the native villages being
kept as clean under Dutch inspection
as the towns Of Holland themselves.
JAVA'S PROSPERITY.
The prosperity of Java is due to the
Dutch culture system introduced un-
der Governor Van den Bosch who, in
1880, was sent out from Holland with
power to grant cash credits and ad-
vance the colonists sufficient to en-
able them to erect sugar mills and
become self-sustaining. The plan, we
are told, was denounced by all the
theoretical economists, but it produced
wonderful results. The population in
creased ten times in fifty years. The
crown of Holland drew $4,000 900 each
year from its sugar sales. The native
workers were paid more wages than
the whole native population paid in
taxes, and the value of the products of
Java, although it is far smaller in area
and in population, is not far below the
value of the products of all British
India.
Such results demonstrated that the
Dutch have understood the country and
the natives and have wisely adapted
their rule to existing conditions Con-
trasted with such a policy and a sue
cess so brilliant, success, to be sure,
greater than that of any other rule in
the East, how pitiful, what a shame
ful waste of opportunity and of possess
s!ons, appears the Spanish rule in
Cuba, under which that magnificent
island remained a wilderness, with it's
p@ople poor and so oppressed with
taxes and other wrongs that rebellion
was the only remedy. What has been
done by the Dutch for Java can be
done under wise government for Cuba.

CONCLUSION by the foregoing it APP
pears that at the close of the first Christ
ian century, the teaching of the church
had not been corrupted. Here is a sum-
mary of doctrine, precisely what is be-
lieVcd today by the evangelical and ag-
gressiVe portion of ChristendOm: All men
are sinners separated by that fact from
God; by confession of that sin, which in
cludes repentance, they obtain forgive
ness through faith i'm Jesus Christ. who
died for the sins of the whole world; be-
ing forgiven, men are restored to Divine
favor and enjoy personal and direct fell
lowship with God; the proof and assur-
ance of such fellowship is a life of obGd-
fence to Jesus Christ, as the rghtful
God; if after pardon there are lapses and
remaining sinful tendencies. these are
covered by the same Jesus who lives to
represent and to succor His people. These
are the vital truths of the Gospel, show
ing the sinner how to lind the Saviour.
All other truths must be related to these,
as part of the furnishing by which one is
made perfect and ready for good work,

JAVA AND CUBA.
They Are the Two Finest Tropical
Islands in the WOrld--A Compare

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The two great tropical islands Of the
world are Java and Cuba. The story
of Cuba is well known. y continent
capable of supporting millions, with
soil one of the most fertile in the
world 1t has been ruled by the Span
iards into ruin. OF Java. less is known
by Americans than of Cuba. Java is
owned aud ruled by the Dutch, COM
ing into possession Cf Holland as re-
suit of the seventeenth century wars
between Holland and England the
terms of peace being dictated by IIol-
land and each country retaining pos
session of the territory which it had
conquered. BY these terms the Eng
lish came into possession of the little
valued colony Of New York, which she
was to lose a century later and Hol-
land retained possession of the more
valuable Java and neIghboring Islands,
which have been a source Of untold
wealth To the Dutch.

nit, though no one claims that it Will

bring distress upon the ruling powers,
and thev hint as well that the poll
ticians crave the rake-off from RELIEF
funds which they expect America to
contribute. The politicians rctort that
the government is trying To- cover up
the famine because it is largely due
to official incapacity. Probably the
truth lies between the two extremes,
as the truth generally does. The gov
ernment admits that there Is suffer-
ing. but asserts that its officers are
keeping watch upon every county, ana
will be fully able to cope with the needs
of the people. The officials decline to
furnish specifications of the distress or
to explain how they will allay 1T. but
that is to be done presumably by pub
lie works.
AN OFFICIAL OPINION.
The under secretary for Ireland, Mr..
J. Il. Dougherty. who is considered one
of the most impartial and fair-minded
men of the government, gave his views

"'1hera ara several counties on the
west coast where the people have a
hard time to attain self-support under
a small push to send them over the bor-
der line into dependency" he said.
with but a small falling off in the
crop they are obliged to look for aid
from outside. This will be the case in
parts Of the western coast this win

would prevent the recurrence of IA

stanCes-tirst, the increas" of railroad
