Concerning Missionaries.

In recent paper by Sir Robert Hart,
the English Director Of Chinese Gus
TOMS published in the Great Round
World magazine. that experienced au-
thority on affairs in China offers some
excellent advice to missionaries. He
tells them that it would be prudent for
them to wait until things settle down
in the Empire before venturing to re-
turn to inland stations. He says that,
of course. much depends on the charac-
ter and attitude toward foreigners of
the individual Governor or Njceroy of
any province. In Shantung. for exam
pie, where the Viceroy is friendly. the
resumption of mission work may be
fairly safe, but in every instance local
conditions ought to be thoroughly
studied.
Sir Robert is courteously careful not
to offend the peculiar sensbilities of
those he would admonish for their own
good, but apparently he finds 1t neces-
sary to convey hint or SO to the peo-
pie who employ the missionaries. and
which it would be we'll for them to take
into thoughtful consideration. He re-
MARKS tfldt IN CDlna t0e ldDOTS OIL tne
missionaries will benefit many, but will
probably offend more, and thinks that
it would be we'll if the societies which
send out their agents would in future
not only instruct them what to do, but
also what not to do. "The missionary"
observes Sir Robert, Ought to content
himself with making his disciples good
men and good citizens, and leave it to
the duly authorized officials to interpret
and apply the law and administer their
affairs in their own way"
This. as is easy to be seen, is a po-
lite rap at the missionary practice of
interfering in the administration OF JUS
tice by local governors and courts, by
demanding immunity from Chinese law
for their so-called converts. 1t is a
matter of record that much of the anti
foreign feeling in China had its origin
in these interferences. Cinnamon for
years have resented the defiance of
their laws and customs by missionaries

There is nothing creditable to organized

there is now nothing else for them to do.
but in that case their persistence In
cliDging to the battles wreck should
not be imputed unto them for righteous

A NOVEL SCOTCH LIGHTsHIP.
No Crew Needed, as the Apparatus
Is Automatic

LONDON. Sept. THE new lightship at
Otter Rock. west Scotland. has some novel
features. 1t is built of steel of extra
strength and the hull is divided into three
water-tight compartments, of which the
middle one contains two large steel gas
holders.
A lantern is placed on a cylindrical mast
at height of % feet. There is a large
bell which has not only an ordinary
tongue. but is made TO strike as the vessel
rolls. There is also a special ciapper
which Is operated by the passage OF gas
from the holder to the burner. No crew is
needed.
The Supply of gas is sufficient to operate
the light and the bell for several mouths
without any attention.

WEDDING OUT THE PLAYS.
George Alexander's Reading COM
mittee still at Work.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-The Reading Com
mittee of the Piaygoers' Club, who have
undertaken to supply George Alexander
with a play by an author whose stories
have heretofore not been staged, up
to date have read over 800 plays.
Mr.. Alexander's offer to produce
such play by an unknown author was
in the nature OF d challenge, whereby he
wished to disprove the charge that mana
gers neglected the works of unknown
playwrights.
The committee still has more than 100
manuscripts which have not been read
The secretary of the committee says that
so far six plays have been weeded out.
Two of these were by well-known writer's
who had not written a pay before. The
other four were by unknown writer's.
Three out of the six authors were wo-
men.

make reprisals for Marroquin's invasion.
1t is stated that the Venezuelan navy is

report be true it would be rather a. ditF-

state of war does not exist between the

Among the villagers on the Volga In the
province Of Samara curious sect of
women has made its appearance. 1t was
originated by an elderly peasant woman
in SoZnova, called tho Blessed Mother"
These women have fed from the villages
around into a remote district, where they
live singly in holes dug out of the face
of the hill. They lead life of fasting and
prayer and believe themselves called from
the world, which they think is shortly
about to perish in a general confiagration.
The Blessed Mother has ten wise vir-
gins as a sort of bodyguard and the
sect believes that these eleven women are
