Exhales from children as fragrance from
flowers. The little lips are always puck
cred to give or take kiss. In homes
where there are children, love reaches
its fairest and sweetest proportions. In
childless homes the kiss of wife and
husband grows formal and presently is
neglected the springs of love in the
heart become cholied for want of use
and exercise. Childlessness is a great
sorrow TO many women. 1t is like a
curse from Nature, who bids all crea-
lures to be fruitful. II is not curse
but a misfortune. Often the conditions
which cause childlessness are removable.

S567, 240,S52, the largest in the history
OF the country, exceeding those of
1866, the next highest, by S47, 1921, 1858.
The increase of S51,2s0,232 over the

all the general resources, but chiefly
from customs and internal revenue.

comparison with 1899, so that the de-
fciency of $50, iii, $50 for that year
was converted into a surplus of &c.,
52T 1850 in 1900. The gross receipts
under warrant, including those o n ac-
count of the public debt, were $780,
$780, 62, and the disbursements S1,195,-
e43,472, a large increase OF both sides
over the previous year.
With the exception of July, 1899,
when there was a deficiency of S..
5o6,s32, a surplus was realized for
every month of the year, the n for
June being the largest, at S17,s95,159.

ly agreed to the following terms, to

subject to the approval of the govern
ments. will be pressed on China as

Commenting on what it calls MI.
Conger's excellent suggestion for
the dismissal of officials permitting
a~nti-foriegn outrages," the Times re-
marks that this is the only consider
able addition to the terms which the
ministers propose to submit to China
last month"
1t says that american sense of JUS
tice and humanity is too strong and
American intelligence too keen to be
deluded by the pitiful Chinese appeal
against the execution of the Pao ling

has been travelling to Pekin via the

account surpasses in horror thosepre-
viously published.
1.-THE scene I have witnessed dur
ing the three days since the steamer
left Blagovetchensk," he says, "are
horrible beyond the powers of de-
scription. 1t is the closing tableau OF
a fearful human tragedy. Two thou.
sand were deliberately drowned at
MorXo, 1000 at Rabe, and 5000 around
Blagovetchensk, a total of $4,000
cOrpses encumbering the river. Navi.
cation was all but impossible. Last
week a boat had to pillow her way
through a tangled and mangled mass
of corpses dashed together by their
long hair. The banks were literally
covered with corpses. In the curves
of the stream were dark, putrid, nau-
seating masses of human flesh and
bone, surging and swaying in the
steamers wake. The captain vainly
ordered full speed ahead. The sight
and smell will be cver with us.
From Blagovetchensk to Aigun, As
kilometers, numerous villages studded
the bank, with a thriving, industrious
population of over 100, 900. That of
Aigun was 10000. No one will ever
know the number of those who per-
ished by shot, sword and stream Not
q village is left. The silence of death
was around us, the smoking ruins of
Aigun on the right, with broken down.
