A Kew bulletin just issued contains
extracts from letters to the authorities
at Kew from Sze-mao, in Southern Yum
nan, by DR.. Henry, the well-known
botanist, who is now stationed in that
place in the Chinese customs service.
He thinks the northeast of Yun-nan
and Wwei-chau province will turn out
astonishingly rich in new plants, and it
is there rather than in the south that
new generic types will be found. In
fact, until the great region northeast,
as it were, of the Himalayas is ex-
plored, people will have no idea of the
richness Of the world in beautiful
plants | look upon this region as the
central point from which the temperate
flora has originated or has been broken
up into numberless species"
The letters contain some interesting
information on that curious race the
Lolos. DIR. Henry says he is spending
much time in studying the Lolo lam
guage, and has completed a dictionary
of it as well as translated number of
booklets. He has found some odd
things in their writings Tabu is inter
esting in the way it occurs Each sur
name as a rule, signifies a tree or ami
NAL name, and the bearers Of the sur
name cannot touch in any way the tree
or animal Of the same name. These are

TUXIS ISLAND PURCHASE.

The Y. M C. A. Directors Vote to Form
a Stock Company-Other Action By
Y. M. G. A.
The monthly meeting of the board Of
directors of the Young Mems Christian
association was held last night at the
rooms and after the regular business
several very important matters were
presented by the general secretary for
consideration.
1t is the purpose of the association to
publish weekly bulletin in order that
the contributors and members may be
kept in closer touch with the real work
and at the same time to advertise the
Grand Opera house meetings together
with special musical attractions.
The directors approved the plan of
the secretary in providing fine course
of monthly entertainments for the
members.
The plan of securing Turks Island as
a permanent camping place was care
fully considered, and the directors APP
proved the scheme of forming a stock
company and urged that the matter be
settled at an early date.
One of the new plans presented was
the adoption of an insurance agreement
for association members by which any
member of the organization leaves
sufficient amount of money to pay for
the last sickness and death of the in
sured. 1t is purely mutual and there is
no intention on the part of the associa-
ton to have it take the place of ordi-
nary insurance. The following commit
tee will have charge of formulating
plans J. Y. McDermott, Henry G.
Newton and William G. Lotze..
President Welch appointed the follow
ing nominating committee for directors
for the ensuing year: Fl. Fl. Taylor, j.
H. Mansfield, Edw. S. Swift
The matter of Mr.. Irvine's engage
ment with the Second Congregational
church was thoroughly discussed and a
satisfactory adjustment was made with
Mr.. Irvine for the year ending Septem-
Der /, 1900.

ELECTRICITY IN GERMANY.


In Germany the theft of electricity is
evidently not considered a crime, for in
recent appeal which reached the Su-
RENE Court, the court held that those
properties are wanting in electricity
which would be necessary to constitute
1t movable object in the sense Of the
law, and electricity must be recl1oned
as one of the energies of nature, like
light, sound and heat. The laws re-
lating to larceny provide only against
the theft of movable bodies, and there
fore would be considered inapplicable
in this case. Three mechanics secretly
attached wires to the circuit in the
house where they lodged, and thus had
their room lighted without expense
They were sentenced, and the case was
brought to the Supreme Court, with the
result which we havea Notwithstanding

IAN ARRIVAL AT
THE WISTLY'S.

Starch" remarked Wistly, lis the
natural diet of man. 1t is very unfor-
tunate that it should be so difficult OF
digestion"
rs it so very difficult of digestion,
dear?" enquired Mrs. Wistly.
rs it?" echoed Wistly. Il should
think SO! Let a man of sedentary hab-
it's fill himself with starch-and fully
two-thirds of what is placed on our din
ing tables is starch-and-and it takes
the starch all out of him, my love.
Dear me-" murmured Mrs. Wistly.
She looked out across the lawn to
where the children were swinging in the
hammock under the apple trees, and
sighed.
1T is such lovely world" she said
softly, when ones digestion is good
and one doesn't feel tired all the time;
and it is such bad world when one
does!"

MIR. STEAD ON THE HAGUE CON-
FERENCE.

81 suppose" said Mr.. Seth Low to me
one day, that this Conference is, after
ALL the nearest approach to the Parlia-
ment of Man that has ever yet been as
sembled."
The President of Columbia University
did not exaggerate. The Conference at
The Hague was a Parliament of Man
representing, however imperfectly, the
whole human race The only independ-
ent ones not represented at the Hubs ten
Bosch We're the South American repub-
lies, the Emperor of Morocco, the King
of Abyssinia, and the Grand Lama of
Tibet. That the South American repub-
lies were not represented is not the fault
of the Russian Emperor. Mexico re-
ceived and accepted an invitation Bra
zil received, but rejected, the invita-
ton to be present, and SO did one other
South American republic. The original
Russian idea was to assemble represent
tatives from every Independent govern
ment in the world; nor did they even
confine themselves to the secular gov
ernments. They We're very anxious that
the rope Supulu dlSO We ulIeClly IbpIG-
scented in this supreme assembly Even
with the Pope and South America left
out the congress represented more
of the world and its inhabitants than
any similar assembly that has ever
been gathered together for the work of
international legislation. That circum-
stance in itself is sufficient to give dis
tinction to the Conference at The
Hague, which, it is expected, will be
the forerunner of a series of confer
encee, each Of which will aim at being
more and more universally representa-
tive. On the eve of the twentieth CEN
fury the human race has begun to fed
crate itself. That is the supreme Sig
nificance of the assembly which has
just spent two months in the capital of
Holland.-William T. Stead in the
Forum.

old man, is Johann Hoffs Malt Extract.
Get a case and be glad. 1t Will enable
you to eat -
"Starch?" interposed Wistly, skeptic-
ally.
"Starch-yes," returned Charley,
anything 1t digests the food; it gives
you strengthened strength; it makes
you feel that life is worth the living.
And, mind you, get Johann Hoff's. There
are other malt extracts Some of them
are good, probably; but Johann Hofs
is sure"
Then he turned to his sister.
and you dear girl; you don't seem
quite up to grade. Try Johann Hoff's
and learn how blessed it is to feel
springy and full of fire. Look at me; L

that we were to have an Invalid on
our hands, and 10. we are invalids on
the hands of our guest"
Yea, verify" breathed Mrs. Wistly
They passed into the house and
Charley placed his arm lightly about
Lucy's waist and whispered to her.
Whereat she blushed and looked up
into his face admiringly.

dition again, Charley" she said, and

But how did you come to know of Jo-

| ture before the Philosophical Society
! of Glasgow. Here is an abstract of what
he wrote:
Suffering from an attack of Illness
which had not only reduced my
strength, but brought on extreme ex-
haustion from inability to appropriate
food l tried the effect of Hoff's Malt
Extract, in the usual dose of wine
glass full twice or three times day. Its
use was followed by marked effects: %
Food which had hitherto been found to
pass the alimentary canal unchanged
digested properly 90 There appeared
an increased power of evolving animal
heat and storing UP fat.
Passing beyond by personal experience
! have experimental with it in other di-
rections, particularly upon thin, cold
and aged people, who are unanimous in
attributing to Ill sustaining powers
which are not commonly observed with
other tonice
1t was therefore with considerable in
terest that | undertook its examination.
These experiments demonstrated that,
with twenty-four hours digestion, 80
grms of Hoff's liquid dissolved so per
cent of the starch of 30 grms. of bread,
and that it requires four times as much
of any of the others to effect the same
result
The total result is as follows. the fig
ures being calculated to avoid decimals,
and to show the amount of starch in the
bread, which became soluable by the
agency of the various liquors, the bread
used in each case being of the same
weight.
The Burton Ale dissolved per cent.
of the starch.
The London Porter dissolved 40 per
cent of the starch.
The Wrexham Ale dissolved 26 per
cent. of the starch.
The Genuine Johann Hoff's Malt Ex-
tract dissolved so per cent. Of the starch.
The importance of an agent like Jo-
ham Hoff's upon the digestion and nu-
triton may be estimated, when it is
considered that starch forms so large a
proportion of the diet of man, that In
its natural state, or even when boiled,
it is not soluable in the sense of being
capable of absorption through a mem
brane (although it may become pasty Or
sticky and that before it can be alb
sorbed by the assimlative organs, it
must become soluable.

Correct" said Wistly fervently.
He put on his hat and stepped onto
the porch.
Charley is coming to-day my dear"
( he called back, ''Ill bring him up with
me at dinner time, and I'd advise you to
have something rather digestible for
him to eat. He's sick, you know"

ly. Have You heard from him."

and omit the potatoes-he won't be able
to digest starch, you know"
And Mr. Wistly, who habitually Wore
distressed look upon his face and who
moved as one whose energy was seri-
ously impaired, walked down the path
At the gate he met a girl and stopped
to say a few words.

The girl blushed.

The girl nodded.

That evening he returned alone.

said sadly; ''he failed to show up"

"Here!'

The Buddhist doctrine Of transmigra-
ton has affected the Lolos, but it can
be seen that it is a late introduction,
and has no bearing on their lives. They
have have no idols, and their only
priests are exorcists, who are such be-
cause they can read the appropriate
rituals. They have legends of deluge,

RUSSIA'S COMMERCIAL ENTER
PRISE

The great activity and enterprise
shown by the Russian government in
almost every direction and in it's rail-
way policy in particular, is more and
more attracting attention in every coun-
try. Prince Khilkof, the Minister of
WAYS and Communications seems bent
on pushing things along at rapid
rate. 1t is well known that the Trans
Siberian Railway owes it's rapid growth
to his untiring energy, prompted into
action by the clear headed policy of the
Tsar, But not only is the Russian rail-
way system extended, completed, and
developed with feversh activity at the
cost of great financial sacrifices, but the
authorities are bent upon having the
best of everything. A similar tendency
is also shown in great deal of the in
dustrial plant which is being erected in
Russia at the present time. In fact,
Russia has begun the development of
her industrial resources much later
than other nations, but is now pursuing
the policy of starting at least even with
older nationalties, by putting up fac
tories equipped with the most modern
tools and adopting the most perfected
methods of manufacture.
This. no doubt, is the wisest course
to pursue, and will yield in the near fu-
ture results of which the industrial
world at large will be somewhat aston
ished. In this development Russia is
being greatly assisted by American en-
terprise, and already very large sums
are invested in these various undertake
ines. The railways which are being
built will no doubt contribute power
fully to the rapid commercial develop
ment of the country, all the more be-
cause. in many of the provinces. roads
and means of communication are of
very primitive nature. The enormous.
