A WORTHY CHINESE WORK.

In August, '99, three members OF
South Street Presbyterian Church aud
one from the Bonnton Presbyterian
Church, DR.. and Mrs Samuel Coch-
ran and Rev. and Mrs. James b. Coch-
ran went to Central China to join
three friends who had gone the year
before and with them to start a new
mission at Hwai Yuen. two hundred
miles northwest of Nanking a place
where no foreigners have ever lived
until now After studying the Ian
guage at Nanking, the four men, year
ago, went to Hwai Yuen, and have
since been living in Chinese houses IA
that city. The old missionaries say
that they have never known q new
mission which opened with such favor

dents IN the place and the new ro-
quirements for Government examine.
tions have made them eager to asso.
ciate with those who they think can
give them the Western learning. This
affords a great opportunity for the
preaching OF the gospel During the
recent examination fifteen hundred
students thronged the Mission COM
pound in a single day. and the mis-
sionaries preached till their voices
gave out DR.. Cochran's dispensary
has been an important factor. He
writes that he feels that there Is no
place In the world whare their lives
will count for more than in China.
Since then the lad es and children
have gone up the Grand Canal TO join
the men, and they are probably by
this time settled in their new homes.
At this juncture a Mission COM
pound and houses are urgently needed.

A SENSIBLE SUGGESTION.

The one weakness OF the Teachers
Retirement Fund, says the Trenton
True American, Is the fact that
''many OF the State's teachers are
young women to whom marriage is
even a present possibility. and except
in rare instances. bright prcbabil-
ity." It argues that this class OF
teachers contemplate marriage rather
than lhink OF provision for future sub
slstence when incapacitated from
age or otherwise.
This leads the Camden Courier to
ask:
WHY should not every teacher who
becomes member of the retirem ent
fund continue in membership after
marriage or after engaging in some
other calling? Why not extend the
object OF the fund and make OF It q
sort OF insurance as well as pension
fund, In which membership may be
continued by teachers after they have
ceased to be 80 employed, n they so
choose2 The institution could be
maintained as an exclusive teachers
organization by admitting only those
who are employed In teaching at the
time Of admission.

INSANITY MAKING RAPID HEAD
WAY

Commenting on the woful Increase
of insanity in New Jersey and the
overcrowded condition of the State
Hospitals, the Elizabeth Journal SAYS:
Dr. Ward, of the State Hospital for
the Insane, at Trenton, reports that
the institution is overcrowded. There
are now 1,137 inmates, as against
1864 a year ago, and this, too, not
withstanding the fact that six coun'
ties have established asylums. The
hospital buildings were originally de
signed for $40 patients. The hospital
at Trenton is overcrowded; the hos
pital at Morris Plains is overcrowded;
the county agylums are full enough

of humanity is this problem Of the
