MidshipmIte OF the Old "Oak Walls"
Among other improvements in the
art of war, as attained by the world in
these later years, is the abolition of the
practice of sending children to sea, as
was the case when the midshipmen of
the old "oak walls of England often
were boys of less than IA years. The

Cn.sacks .. Horse Traders.

From the New York Journal: A few
months ago a Russian veterinary sur
geon was sent in the Ural district by
the government to buy horses for the
army. He had been selected by his
superiors because he was famous as a
shrewd and sharp horse trader, who
never had been beaten in horse trade.
But he returned from his experience
with the Ural Cossacks in chastened
condition of mind, for they had cheat
ed him frightfully. He confessed that
with all his cunning he had been per-
fectly helpless in their hands, and he
swore by all the saints in the Russian
calendar that nothing should tempt
him to try again. His grief was made
the more poignant by the fact that at
the time they were swindling him so
cheerfuiy and successfully a Russian
bunko steerer struck their territory,
filed him with a firm conviction that
the world was coming to an end in
short order and sold them tickets for
paradise at enormous prices,

Presbyterians Honor Memory O
Their Martyred Missionaries.

A memorial service was last evening
conducted in the lecture room of the
First Presbyterian church in commem-
Grafton of the Presbyterian mission
aries who have lately lost their lives in
China.
The services were we'll attended and
We're presided over by the pastor. Rev.
James Mcleod, d. D., who made a
brief address. He read the names of
the Presbyterian missionaries massa-
cred by the Boxers in commencing his
remarks.
I'VE ought to thank God" said he,
"for giving us such loyal Christian men
and women, and / take great pride IN
saying that, as far as l have been able
to learn, they all belonged to the synod
of Pennsylvania"
Continuing, he said: "The present
prosecutions in China are slight COM
pared with the prosecutions which
Christians have endured in former
ages. All attempts to overthrow Chris
tianity have always failed and always
will fail, because Christianity is of God
and cannot be overthrown."
A brief address was also made by
Judge Alfred Hand. who expressed the
belief that the martyrdom of these
noble men and women in China would
inspire Christians in all parts of the
world with a truer and better Chris
tianity.
