Motherhood means either happiness
or misery. There is scant happiness for
the mother, who in pain and weakness
brings into the world weakling babe
which she can neither nurse nor nourish.

The Flight of a Great Nebula.

One of the most striking spectacles
revealed by telescopes is that of the
Great Nebula in Orion. In. the COM
plexity of its glowing streams, spirals
and strangely shaped masses, inter-
cepted by yawning black gaps and
sprinkled over with stars arranged in
suggestive groups and lines, it has few
rivals in the heavens. The impression
of establishment made by the sight Of
this nebula is heightened by knowledge
of it's enormous size. The entire solar
system would appear as tiny speck
beside it. Yet this tremendous aggre-
cation of nebulous clouds and starry
swarms has been proved by the re-
searches of the late Professor Keller
of the Lick observatory to be flying
away from the earth and the sun at the
rate of II miles in every second! But
SO vast is it's distance that 100 years
reveal no visual effects of the great
nebula's swift retreat. If it were near
by, it would seem to become rapidly
smaller.-Youth's Companion.

sacrifice for the missionary cause and
indicating to them several methods by
which they could follow my advice.

II am in favor of sending n large

European jealousies are responsible
for the slaughter OF foreigners at Pc

ago. 1t was to be met either by peace
full persuasion or by overwhelming
force. Neither was employed.
Japan could have sent an army adc
uuatc to deal with the situation. but
she could not be allowed to do so for
fear of offending Russia. Russia had
large forces at hand but she could not
have consent for fear she would keep
them there. AS no Power must land
more troops than any other. only the
minimum force was employed. Il mere

WHAT BUSINESS HAVE MIR. Nc.
KlNLEY AND THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY IN CHINA?
New York fIerald.)

OF all the foreign entanslcmcnts
which Washington in his farewell adj
dress SO earnestly warned his coun-
trEmen TO avoid. that which might
come from our mixing in this Chinese
business would be the worst, the most
perilous. 1t would be an entangle-
ment. not with one foreign Power
alone, but with all of them. with con
sequences to the welfare and destiny
of the nation which it would be hard
to overestimate or eXaggerate.
What business has the United States
IN Asia anyway? 1t is not at war with
China; il has no interests in anv Chi
nese scramble; there is no earthly
reason why it should dispatch a fleet
or an army to cooperate with the all
lied forces, and none why II should
join European concert to control the
government and determine the fate Of
the Celestial Empire.
To do so would be not ONLY an onop
disregard of Washington's solemn
warning and the time honored tradi-
tons OF the government, but also a
plain violation of the constitution.
which expressly forbids the President
to make war on foreign people or
to send an army abroad without the
formal sanction of Congress-
Our legitimate business and duty in
this affair are perfectly plain. 1t is
simply to protect the lives and proper
~ of American citizens. although some
OF them, notably meddesome mission
aries. have done much to bring trou-
bic on their own heads. We must. as
the Tribune says. rescue our Minister
from danger in Pekin. but with this
done and protection secured for Amer
lean life and property. our active part
in the affair ends. If we have any flu
ture role it is to act as mediator or
arbitrator in the interests of peace and

that our ships and men should not
be used in the interest of any Euro

The fact is that tho ambitious course
of tho government is but another il
lustration of the Imperialism that has
got into the heads OF Mr.. Mckinley
and his Republican advisers. and
which, if ii keeps on, will lead the
country into all sorts Of mischievous
tomfoolcry and-tlanger. II is titA]eei-
cal sequence to the Philippine impc-
rialism. Unless speedy, decisive halt
is called no one can tell where 1t will
end. The open door as q CONNER
cial advantage seems to have been
turned into an open door" to Chinese
interference and foreign cntanglc-
mcnts. For this there is no reason
1ustiilcation or excuse. Ii is the most
radical departure from the traditional
policy and principles of the nation and
the most dangerous step in tho dircc-
ton OF Imperialism that The United
States has ever yet Tenturcd to enter
upon. That great majority OF the
American people arc opposed 10 il can
hardly admit OF doubt. Mr.. McKin-

CHICAGOS GROWING POPULA-
TON.
(Chicago News.)

The Two Million Club is still in some
doubt as to whether the population OF
the city at this writing is 2,4S2, 900 or
only 2.36O.000. The difference is some
thing over 100000: but in matter like
mat of the population OF Chicago this
is too trivial to be taken seriously into
account. Even the smaller number
gives gain considerably in excess of
10 per cent. during the last decade.
But the ratio has evidently increased
nightly during the latter part of the
decade. Only n year ugo the popula :
ton was put at 100000. so that the
gain in the last year has been - per
cent. This ratio. on the basis of the
present population. would give n gain
OF about 100000 for the current year,
or $4,000 month. Hence. IL the popula-
ton is only 100000 instead of 2.4SO.-
600 to-day. it will have reached the
larger figure two months hence, or al
most az soon as the careful computa-
tons upon which these figures are
based could be checked over and veri-
fled.
