Two hospitals are tested to their ut- most capacity, the larger having been erected by Hindus.
 l The churches in Maduras are lnue- 1 pendent of the control of the missiona-
 ry in the station The Y. P. s. C. soele- 1 ty is well organized throughouet the | mission.
 | The Marathi mission is larger than | that of Madura. Bombay is the center l of activity, and Ahmednagar the educa- tional center.
 This mission has no college or normal i training school for boys, as the Wilson
 college of the Free church of Scotland
 at Bombay, and the normal school or the Christian literature society at An i mednagar, fill all the requirements.
 The mission has not done much Tn medical work until recently, when 1t
 finds q warm welcome for the medical
 missionaries, one of whom resident
 Christian physician, earns his own llV-
 ing in practice and bears the responsl-
 bility of large hospital with some SIX
 ty inmates and an orphan Christian
 home with over three hundred children
 After reviewing the work at the va
 rious local stations the report comes to the consideration of the orphanage question. The Indian funds for thls have become exhausted, and the mls- sionaTies are sore pressed to md sup port for those dependent upon them. With the help of industries and pledges for support some thirteen hundred children are provided for, but thls leaves some two thousand for whom there is no support It is impossible to turn them away, for because ot the casts questions the Hindus will not give them a home, although there are many children of all castes, many of them un- usually bright There is no danger that they will be taken from school, and there is every reason to believe that they will have a stronger character than those who have not these privi- leges. Some of the best Christian lead CTS were formerly famine children
 The report continues with a glance at the value of industrial training schools, in which D. Carroll Churchill, a grad uate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and J. B. Knight, gradu ate of the Massachusetts agricultural college, both earnest Christian young men, have been engaged to give their entire time and talents.
 The report closes with various recom- mendations looking to self-supporting and self governing churches the in crease of Christian literature, the estab lishment of more mission boarding schools, the encouragement of the medi- | cal department, practical instruction in manual labor for all male | pupils with application to females so far as possible; the increase of tuition | fees in higher education, and a concen- | tration in and enlargement of orphan age work.

INvAL1D,s GREAT WORK.
BY Her own Exertions Suffering I1Ii-
nois Girl supports Ten Mission
airy Workers.

Itrhas been said that suffering often
liberates and reveals the forces of the
soul. A phenomenal Instance of this is
found in the little city of Casey, ILL.,, in
the person and life of Miss Lizzie l..
Johnson. Her struggle for 18 years
with mortal disease is something more
than impressive.
At about 13 years of age severe ILL
ness came upon her which developed
. into permanent affection of spinal
character extending to all the nerve
acenters. For IS years she has been laid
on her back wholly unable to leave her
bed. She has the free use of her arms
and head, also some use of the limbs,
but her body is confined to one posi-
ton
Those who have known her from her
childhood, especially from the begin
ming of her affection. find it difficult to
realize the magnitude of the work she
is now doing and has been doing for
number of years. They feel that they
have never seen suffering and weari-
ness and the monotony of lying in one
position continuously so entirely over
come and treated as if they were not.
The nature of her affection renders
her at times intensely sensitive to the
slightest noise or the presence of per-
sons in her room, or any touch of her
bed. This painful acuteness is not
constant; there are times of compare
otiye rest from this, though at all times
the sense of touch is abnormally de-
veloped.
She has a magnetic personality, a
fine, receptive mind, large originality
and a beautiful Christian spirit. Not
a word of complaint or touch of re-
belliousness escapes her lips. The
theme that lies nearest her heart is
Christian missions, and in-this field she
is doing a great work. She began in
1894 on $50 borrowed capital Up to
date the gross receipts aggregate S.
600. She supports in India five pastor
teachers, besides two Bible women.
She provides the money to support
three scholarships for three young
men in Chinzei seminary, Negasaki,
Japan. She provides for two Bible

women in China and one native pastor
in Africa.
She does not forget home institu-
tions and causes, as the Cunningham
deaconess' home and orphanage and
other benefciaries can testify. 1t is
a constant wonder how mueh work
Mss johnson does. She attends to all
her correspondence, not infrequently
receiving a hundred letters week, and
whether they be letters of inquiry or
remittances of money she allows no
letter to go unacknowledged, and at
tends o this herself personally.
How does she secure the money to
carry on her mission work? By the
sa,e of silk bookmarks, which she
makes, and on which she has printed
choice selections of Scripture, gems
from favorite poets, birthday notes,
etc. These marks she mails to any
Christian workers who will superin-
tend the sale of them. She receives or
ders from individuals, Sunday schools,
leagues, woman's foreign missionary
societies and other orga nizations.
This consecrated soul and the work
abe is doing are worthy of publicity
both for the good accomplished in the
mission fields and the inspiration it
gives to other workers. None can en-
ter. her room and hear her CHEEKY
words, see her illumined face, but to
go away with new inspiration and
courage to help in the worlds work.
Her father is a retired business man
of Casey; he and his entire family of
wife and five children reside in the city
and are held in high esteem by all those
who know them best. To some of heI
pastor teachers she pays 500 per an
num..to others $50. $50, etc; to her ma.
tive workers and Bible women from $40
to SOD per annum. There are no scales

casional visits to town-all traces of
grandeur departed.
Eugene has one odd expectation.
She is said to believe firmly that she
will live to be at least 100 years old.
"I have nothing to live for" the sad
faced woman of "a says, "hence know
1 shall just keep on living"
And so she will, proba bly,, for she has
no illnesses as yet, is active and fond of
all outdoor exercises. Eugene has
been so much on the water that she has
acquired the sailors rudy color, and
much of her strength in old age is due
to her love for bracing sea air. People
who saw this lady in the days of her
prime will remember her strangely
bea utiful eyes. Eugene eyes" they
were called. An unusual type they
were, and are, the eyelids dropping so
low as to give an arched look to the
dark eyes, which are bright, almost
glowing still. Eugenie's eyes were al
ways her marked claim to great beau
ty, although she is described at the
time of her marriage as having been
lovely beyond words in every line of
face and form.

The crop this year is not large one,
but the only reason it is not, accord
ing to Mr.. Sormano, is the lack of null.
berry leaves. He says that this years
work is simply the continuation of last
years experiments and that so far
as the size of the cocoons and the quail
ity of the silk is concerned, the indus
try is a perfect success. All that i.
needed to increase the output, max
ing it large enough to be of CONNER
cial Importance, is the addition of more
trees to supply food for the worms.
The name of the little gray green
silk worm that takes to the southern
California climate so well is bambyx-
mort. The original silk worms were
brought from Italy several years age
by Giuseppe Sormano, but prior to last
year the cocoons had to be sent bach
to Europe to be reeled into skeins

ing the industry in the near future.

wOMAN's SOCIAL POWER.
when Exercised In the Right Direc-

Entire Community.

The power and influence that woman
possesses socially is something for
which she should be grateful and use
to the best advantage. To some taste
full woman with a truly social spirit
NAV be given the credit of making
MANY community what it is. Passing
a massive city church. thronged with
worshipers, and noted for being ex
ceedingly social in spirit, Rev. William
T. Peck, in writing for the Ledger
Monthly, recalls the fact that the
building is accredited to socially in
clined. cultured pastors wife, who had
the gracious gift Of kindness. She
had a winning way. and noticed that a
great many strangers came to the
church never to return. She made
mn her mind that she would make them
feel at home. She took her position at
the close of service near the door and
greeted the strangers with a cordial
handclasp and explained she was the
pastor's wife and that he would gladly
call on them if they would leave their
addresses. She had charming per-
sonality. and followed successfully
this plan till the old church, which was
almost dead, became filed with a
strong social and spiritual power, and
people recognized it as a social shand-
shaking church." and soon this mag
nificent edifice, built from the con-
taeion of am irresistible ecclesiastical
handshake, stood as monument o1
humanity at its best.
