RENTING A HOUSE IN CHINA.
Difficulties of Missionaries in Getting
Quarters.

Rev. F. ]. Bradshaw in the Watch
man-In the salt-well fields, the Of
fetal district line runs through the
center of a city 150, 900 strong. 1t is
beautifully situated under the hills
just behind the islet, on the smaller
great China highway connects our
stations Kiating and Suifu. Here Tor
some time our mission alone had been
working, by travelling colporter and
preacher service, and we looked upon
il as dependent on us. When we
wished to rent a house there ] called
my teacher and helper and talked
this house matter over.

Other foreigners have been there try
ing to rent. The officials of both dis
tricts have been playing into each
others hands; and the landlords have
been forced to back down from their
bargains with foreigners, or make the
rental so high it would be refused; so
the business had been spoiled for me-

That evening Mr.. S. returned and
placed the papers in my hands, to our
great Joy. Under cover of darkness

SOUTHERN NEGRO IMPROVES.
Race Conditions Are Far Better Than
They Might Be.

They Might Be.
American Monthly Review of Re
yiews.-There have been a good many
exhibitions, of race friction Of late,
and these will doubtless occur FROM
time to time in the future. Human
nature will have TO improve a good
deal before they are totally done
away with. But race conditions in
the South are growing better rather
than worse, and those who deny this
statement are not able to see things
in their true perspective While a
large proportion of the negroes in
the United States are doubtless de
scended from people brought from
Africa as slaves prior to the legal alb
clifton of the slave trade, early in
the nineteenth century, it is true,
nevertheless, that the slave trade
fiourished on a large scale up to the
very eve of the civil war, and that we
have thousands, possibly millions of
black people here whose grandpa
ANhCo, Vi at ISoot IuSll SlSdJ 8 duupd-
rents, were born as savages in the
wilds of Africa. Slavery in the Unit
ed States had its hard side for these
people considered as a race, but 1t
also had its great advantages as a
disciplinary period. 1t made possible
for them a life of freedom under civil
lied conditions. The future historian
will see clearly that while African
slavery in the United States was
gravely detrimental to the welfare of
the white race, it was, upon the
whole, very advantageous to the ne
groes. They have been making prog
ress since their emancipation of
which they have reason to be proud,
and the outlook for them is an ex-
ceedingly bright and hopeful one
When all history making factors of
the situation are taken into account,
they are to be congratulated on a
present position and a future pros
pect almost uneGuailed in the history
of any people, ancient or modern
For the condition of the negroes in
the South is to be judged by what 1t
was and what it might have been,
and comparisons are to be made with
the conditions and progress of negro
people elsewhere.

DOLLS ONCE A YEAR.
TT only Time Japanese Girl Can
Use Her plsythings.


In most countries a girl considers
her dolls and toys her own possessions,
TO appropriate at any and all time.
This is not SO with the Japanese girl.
To play with her dolls is an event: a
joy which comes but once a year. And
the dolls are SO wonderfully made as
truly to be curiosities, even to the
people themselves. AS a rule. the
doll is the personification of some not
ed character of remote ages; either an
empress or some woman who has fig
ured in national history. The quaint,
often costly, dress, the arrangements
of the hair and jewels, are all in har-
mony with the period in which she is
supposed to have lived They are Oh
all sizes and shapes, and the girl with
the largest collection and the oliest
doll is the envy Of all, writes Jessie

Total %.

CATTLE-Receipts of cattle were not
heavy for a Monday, and in fact were not
as large as they were a year, ago. The
quality of the most of the cattle was also
rather inferior, but packers took hold In
good shape and an active, firm market re-
suited.
Receipts included about 20 cars OF cornfed
steers, but there were none of them that
could be classed as choice, as will be seen
from the prices paid below. Packers had
to nave some cattle, SO that they bought up
such as were offered at good, firm prices,
and the bulk of the cattle were disposed of
in good season. The general opinion was
that choice grades would have sold a little
SUI ongcr.
A large proportion of the offerings con-
sisted of COWS and heifers, and the market
could be quoted steady to strong and active.
The strength was most noticeable on the
better grades, though Gamers and cutters
sold freely at fully as good prices as were
paid last week.
There was no quotable change in the
prices paid for bulls, veal calves and stays.
The receipts of stockers and feeders were
again light this morning, and as there were
quite a few orders in the yards, anything
showing any quality at all commanded
stronger prices. Owing to the scarcity of
that class even the commoner grades sold
at a little better prices than were paid last
week, and everything was disposed of in
good season. Representative sales:

as eastern markets were all quoted lower
prices at this point also broke. The better
grades as a rule did not sell much over a
dime over, but the habitat kinds were
neglected and in a good many cases sold IS
d2Oc lower. 1t ives even more evident to-
day than 1t was last week that packers
do not want the short-fed stun for the rea-
son that IT does not kill out to good ad-
vantage and is dear at most any price.
There were only Just a few feeders on
the market and as there were quite a few
buyers looking for good stun the market
could be quoted strong.
