Chinese Give Massncred Christians
Remarkable FunernI.
Pekin, Dee. 22.--The officials of Tung
Chow have given a number of native
Christians who were massacred last
year a remarkable funeral. This action
was taken in accordance with an
agreement between the missionaries
end the officials. by which the mission
aries were to refrain from demanding
the punishment of those guilty or
murderng the Christians If the officials
would make public atonement for the
crimes and impress the people with
respect for missi onaries and converts.
The funeral procession traversed the
principal streets of the walled city or
Tung Chow. There were seventy cc<-
fms 10 be buried, and these were fol$
lowed by hundreds OF relatives of the
victims The procession was composed
Of a company of Chinese cavalry,
company of infantry, several bands
ana hundreds of men cCrrying gaudy
funeral emblems. The procession took
two hours to pass the reviewing stand,
where were gathered the city officials,
Cen. Ma, commander OF the Chinese
trops who besieged Tien-tsin; Mr..
Conger, American minister to China,
and many American and English mis-
sionaries.
An immense crowd witnessed the
funeral services at the cemetery. The
Chinese troops, the police and the
funeral attendants formed in a square,
with the officials, the missionaries ana
tn whitehead mourners in the center,
near the graves. Chinese officials from
fifty villages where the Christian con-
gerts had been massaCred attended the
funeral, and bowed before banners, as
they eulogized the Christians for haV-
ing died in defense OF their faith
These officials subsequently signed doc
uments guaranteeing protection to the
Chinese Christians If they would re-
turn to their homes.
The missionaries and the Chinese
Christians travelled in a special tran
from Pekin to Tung Chow. After the
funeral services IN the temple the Chi
nese officials rendered banquet to the
missionaries and the converts. Similar
funerals will be held in other towns.

The Ola Dame scbool.

II is amusing in these school board
days to come upon "reminiscences of the
old danes schools. In my mothers lit
tie country parish the kindly old dame
who taught the village children TO read
did not trouble herself much about the
long words says a writer in Good
Words. When a word came that nei-
Their she nor her pupils could quite
master. she would say: call 1t Nebu-
chadnezzar and pass. on" But needle
work was well taught in those days.
One OF the most beautiful workers
knew told me how, at the DANES
school, to which she went as a child,
she was set to hem round the crown of
baby's cap. busy mothers may in
deed, be thankful that these small aru-
Giles of apparel are now obsolete9 To
do this perfectly is no easy matter.
Time after time the narrow hem, which
refused to come even, was cut off, till
at last the little circle was about the
size of a penny; but the result OF that
teaching was admirable.

b Goodland. Kans., Dec. 23-N. e. Al
bertson. local blacksmith, had almost
decided TO give up his shop altogether
on account of Rheumatism. which had
crippled him SO that at times he could
not use his hammer. a+#
His shoulders anG arms were so sore
that he couldn't sleep at night. He
had suffered for years, but was gradu-
ally getting worse, till at last he had
about made up his mind to give up.
But just then he heard of some Won
derful cures of Rheumatism by Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and thought he would try
for a cure once iGore.
They cured him completely, and he
has not a trace of rheumatism left.
The shop will not be given up, and Mr..

hard at work as If nothing had ever
allied him.

five men do the work of twenty. The
men demand the employment of the
old shovellers and increased pay il
automatic shovels are continued.
Non-union men are employed and the
work is proceeding without inter.
ruption.
Plans are being made for a general
strike by longshoremen, when the
rush begins, to force recognition OF

TROOPS CAN BE WITHDRAWN.
The Chinese Peace Commissioners
Have Agreed to the Indemni-
ties as Demanded.

Berlin, May Is Officials here, dis
cussing the answer of the Chinese
peace commissioners, say the fact of
prime significance therein is that the
commissioners agree to the indemni-
ties as demanded, and the withdrawal
of the troops car now proceed forth

forces will be withdrawn at once.
The Chinese proposition to raise the
import and export duties will prob-
ably be accepted, since the only other
possibility of increasing China's rev-
enues is the reform of the Liken du-
ties. which the powers particularly
wish to avoid, because it would re-
quire too much mixing in the internal
affairs of China. Further information
al control over the customs will be
unnecessary, beyond Sir Robert
Harris.
The prolongation of the payments
to 80 years will probably be accepted.
Germany appears favorably disposed
thereto.
The request for a reduction of the

OUR TRADE NIHSCO|LAND
The Tide of Importations of Amer
lean Goods Into Scotland is
Steadily Increasing.
PROSPECTS OF A PERMANENT MARKET,
The scots are Gradually Learning
the Merits of American Made
Goods, Meats, Breadstuffs and
Fruits, and Are Placing steadily
Increasing Orders.

Washington, May 15.-The bureau
of foreign commerce of the state de-
partment has made public advance
sheets of Commercial relations for
1907 which deal with American
trade in Scotland. The tide of Amer
lean imports into Scotland, it is stat
ed, steadily rises. This is true not
only of our food products, which are
in almost universal demand, but also
to q numerous variety of manufac-
lures. During the past year the
quantity of American goods in the
markets of eastern Scotland has been
much larger than ever before, and the
volume of trade visibly greater. The
market which has been gained for
many lines of Dur manufactures Is a
permanent one, it is stated.
Preference for American Goods.
A growing preference for American
goods is held accountable for this
very encouraging state of affairs in
Scotland. 1t is pointed out that
while the Scotsman is a somewhat
fastidious buyer, he becomes a most
devoted and profitable customer when
once assured of the merits of an ar
ticle offered for sale. 1t is this phase
of the Scottish character which has
prompted American exporters and
manufacturers to consider this COM
mercial field as one apart from En-
gland, and to deal with it according
ly.
Social and economic conditions, it
is said, have not been affected by the
South African war. Business in near
ly all mercantile lines has been ac-
tive, but the depression in the iron
and steel trade resulting from the
high prices of raw material and fuel
as well as from American, German
and Belgian competition will, it is
feared, soon be severely felt in in
dustrial communities.
Articles That Are in Demand.
Of the great number of articles
which the United States now sends
regularly to Scotland, perhaps the
most marked increase, except in food
products, has been noted in the sale
Of hardware. Our woodward has also
secured an important position in this
market. Other American production.
which are gradually mounting tc
higher favor are American furniture
boots and shoes, rubber goods, ma
chinery and tools, wire and wire
goods (whose importation last yeal
doubled that of 1899, leather, oil
clocks and watches, paints, drugs anc
chemicals, organs, glassware, confec
tionery and a number of other arti
cles. About 5000 beams and plate.

A vast increase in the importation o.
American barley since 1899 has beel
