considerable time in both countries.
His talk last night dealt with the Pc
culiar lifeand customs OF China and Ja-
pan. and he spoke encouragingly OF the
progress Christianity was making,
thanks to American support. Humor
sparkled throughout his discourse, and
his hearers were wreathed In smiles at
his descriptions OF Chinese customs, es-
pecially. He had visited the northern
provinces OF China. speaking OF the
various modes OF travel. which were by
cart. wheelbarrow. sedan chairs. or
mule !ltters. The roads were more
like trails. and. along them were mon
uments erected to widows who hadn't
married a second time. for which the
Chinese character horored them.
Walls predominated In China. he said.
The towns were walled, and q wall sur
rounded every house. The thickly set
tied country prevented large farms or
extended rural scenes, and the First
Presbyterian church covered more
ground than four of the largest wheat
fields the speaker had seen. The church
had cost more than the cost OF 1000
Chinese churches; for space was pre-
clous there. and labor was low-prlced.
DR.. .Chalfant was positive that fam
lily or seven In the Chinese interior
could live on from SIS to SIS q year. yet
they contributed wondrously well In
proportion TO their means to the support
Of the Christian missions. The doctor
found great impetus to education Cor
girls, striking phenomenon. when It is
remembered that the all-prevailing GUS
tom was to destroy many Of the female
Infants at birth.
Dr. Chalfant traced many evidences
of Christianity's influence, and he re-
marked with pride the fact of Pitts
burgh and Wheeling iron and eteel pro-
ducts finding a China market, u tribute
to American ingenuity us against cooile
labor. His treatment of the Japanese
home life was equally interesting, and he
seemed 20 give n reference to the Chi
nese empire as a field for Christian
evangclization.

HUMAN pINcUsHIoN.
A MISSOURI EDITOR MEETS WOMAN
WHO IS DEVOID OF SENSE OF
FEELING.

Mrs. Eva Tard0 is q woman without
feeling. TO her the sensations OF
pain, heat and cold are unknown. She
is a native Of the West Indies and is
young and beautiful. Editor John A.
Knott of Hannibal, Mo-, is response
bile for this statement. A week ago
Mrs. Tardo was in his town and Edi-
tor Knott witnessed something he
had never seen before. In his paper,
the Journal, ne published the follow
ing account of it,
A select company composed largely
OF physicians witnessed wonderful
exhibition at DR.. ChOwning's office
last night. The subject was a woman,
and she proved to the satisfaction of
the learned doctors that they had a
perfect case OF anaesthesis before
them without the use OF drugs--in
other words, human being without
feeling
The test consisted OF the woman
sticking brass pins into her neck aud
face with a recklessness that made
even the doctors cringc. Then long
sharp instrument was thrust through
her cheek, following which she drank
IA half q glass of gasoline which gener-
ated gas IN her stomach and was con-
veyed back to the mouth by belching.
With the mouth closed theSg was
forced through the wound made in the
cheek and into small gas pipe. The
gas was ignited and burned for several
minutes-a veritable human gas we'll.
In the most amusing part Of the
performance, ex-Postmaster j. NJ.
Nickel played leading part. The
lady lighted cigar, sealed the smoke
in her mouth by closing her lips tight
ly, and through rubber tube placed
over the wound in her check. Mr..
Nickel drew the smoke from her
mouth. So much did Mr.. Nickel en-
Joy it that DR.. Howell was moved to
take puff or two.
The next test was made by DR..
Goodier, who thrust large rusty hat
pin through the muscle OF the lady's
arm, and DR.. Howell removed it by
simply permitting the weight OF the
arm to eXtricatc it.
The most wonderful test was made
by maddcning huge rattlesnake to
desperation, which wreaked vengeance
on its tormentor by thrusting its
poisonous fangs deep into her arms,
and so fierce was the attack that the
reptile lost one OF its fangs In hcI
flesh, which was removed by the won.
derful woman and presented to Dr.
Baskett.
Through all these trying tests the
woman passed without evidencing the
the least pain, and the doctors are
satisfied that she is absolutely devoid
of feeling. She is also inscnsiblc tc
cold or heat, the temperature with hel
being all the same.
The following gentlemen witnessed
the tests. Drs. Ch0wning, Basket
