THE cHrxEsH. Rev DR. Arthur Smith,
who Is an authority on China, says that
the railroads arc built In China are a
great temptation to the Chinese. The
rails are the same height as the head
rests the Chinese sleep ON and so when
running nights the engineer will often
see long row Of men lying on the
tracks with their heads on the iron
head rest. The railroad paid at first
thirty taels for each man killed but it
got to be too common to kill merely
for good OF the family and so they had
to withdraw the bounty on men killed
for sleeping on the railroad.

Reports show a greatly increased
death rate from throat and lung trou'
bles, due to the prevalence of Group,
pneumonia and grip. We advise the
use of One Minute Cough Cure in all
of these difficulties. It is the only
harmless remedy that gives immediate
results. Children like it. r. H. Beers s.

the religious aspect of the question
makes it more complicated. The evan

and some are making the prophecy
that by the end OF this year the Phil

country will start on an era Of pros

CHRISTIANITY. authority for the state
ment that in the 10th century the ad-
herents of Christianity increased from
two hundred to five hundred millioA
people and that the Christian nations
to-day hold sway over eight hundred
OF the fourteen hundred million peo-
pie on the face of the earth. These
figures are encouraging as showing
what effect one century Of mission
work has accomplished.
OLD AGE. A recent French writer has
started up again the question of what
is the normal length of a mans life.
He asserts that we ought to live 100
years each and be in vigor until near
the close of life. The average limit Of
life increased during the last century
and If we were all willing to live at a
moderate pace it might be increased
much more.
AUSTRIAN They are having a hot old
AFFAIRS. time over in Austria in their
governmental affairs. There are two
factions in the state, the Germans: and
the Slavs, and in their Reichssatte
they have been having turbulent
scenes and lot Of rowdyism. In the
Autumn the Emperor getting tired of
their fights dissolved the Reichsratte
and ordered a new election for Deem
Der 4. This has taken place and the
new electors seem to have added seven
devils to those that were cast out of
the last government. 1t is said that
the Emperor is of mind to suspend
the constitution and govern the coun-
try without lot OF Jew-baiters and
clericals to block the wheels OF the car
of progress.
IMMIGRATION. The report Of the Bureau
of immigration is issued and shows
that 100000 people came to the United
States in the year 1900. The greater
part of them came from Southern
Europe. Austria Hungary furnished
more than 10000 people to us and
Italy and Russia nearly as many.
The Irish, German and Swedish move
ment has largely subsidized and not very
many are coming to this country from
that part Of Europe. One Of the curl
osities Of the immigration is that not
more than one per cent Of people from
tropical countries seek homes in the
United States. We are too cold for
them. AS showing how the Russian
Jews are seeking this land of the free
it is said that one eight Of those who
came to New York last year were

the ship subsidy bill at this session Of
Congress. The bill is said to have the

Fry and Senator Hanna are working
for it's passage. The opponents Of the
bill say that it is not needed and that
1t will only tend to put large amount
OF government money into the hands

PRIZE FIeHrs. There is quite contest
out in Ohio over the question Of prize
fights. Mayor Fleischman OF Cincin.
natl granted a permit for such a fight
to take place in his city. Governor
Nash rose to the situation and decided
that the constitution of the state for
bids any such bruiser meetings. He
proposes to Keep prize fighters exhibit
tions out of the state by the use of the
state troops if necessary. The opposi-
ton to having two men pound each
other into jelly is growing and most Of
the governors Of the states of the Mid

ed their determination ofkeeping such
brutal shows out of their states. For
which let us give thanks.

TOWN TOPICS.
HOW We ARE GOVERNED.

Civ EN- by hEE dEOh3E I. LINSLEf.
The lecture course given by the To-
cal clergymen, closed, last week We'd
nesday evening, with the able lecture
given by Rev George T. Linsley, ON
the subject, "How we are governed"
The following are some of the very
interesting points covered by his lee
ture: In my lecture last year, upon the
Supreme Court of the United States,
dealt with that department of our
National government, the least familiar
to the people as a whole. In dealing
with the present subject, which is
familiar in most respects yet even here
we shall find are some forgotten
things and some unnoticed things
which it is we'll to have our attention
called to. Indeed If we are law abid-
Ing citizens we are apt to forget that
there is law governing us unless we
suffer from lawlessness of others. tits
my task to point out some of the inter-
esting features of our national life and
see what they may mean. Some sys-
tenn OF government is essential to civil
ICED man. 1t is one of those necessary
arrangements Of society, that If we go
on in orderly way some form of govern
ment must be recognized and obeyed.
Our system Of national government is a
representative democracy; another
name being republic. The best way
for us to take hurried view of this
subject, will be to follow the order of
the constitution Of the United States.
The preamble being our motto. We
must ever remember that we are Hv-
Ing under written constitution both
in state and nation. And II; is inter-
