REVOLVING BARBARITIES.

Hong Kong advices state that
terrible atrocities were committed
upon the American women mis-
sionaries recently massacred at
Lien Choo. DR., Machie, whose
wife and daughter were among the
victims, brings the horrifyiHg
details.
He states that the women were
stripped naked and exposed to
view i'll public Chinese temples.
Finally, while alive they were
thrown into the river, where
Cinnamon speared them with
tridents.
Mr.. Peale, who was also slaugh-
tered, was stripped and dubbed to
death IN the presence of his wife.
Later she met the same fate that
Miss Chestnut, Mrs. Machie and
her daughter had suffered.

FIGHTING "JAPONIANS."

1905 with a Chinese junk full of p;.
ratlcal "Japonians, whose o"A YES
sci had been cast away on Boraeo.
There were ninety men aboard this
junk, most of them in too gallant
a habit for Saylers and such an
equalitie Of behavior among them
that they seemed all fellowes. Yet
among them there was one that they
called capitaine, but gave him little
respect" A number of them hay-
ing been transferred to the ship
while the junk's cargo was being
searched, they suddenly sailed out
of the cabin at given signal, and
while those in the junk killed or
drove overheard the Englishmen in
charge those on the ship tried to
take possession Of it. At the first
onset they killed Captain Davis.
"They pressed SO fercely to come
to us as, we receiving them on our
pixies, they would gather in our
pixies with their hands to reach us
with their swords. 1t was neere
half an hour before we could stone
them back into the cabin, in which
time we had killed three or four of
their leaders. After they were in
the cabin they fought with us at
the least foure houres before we
could suppresse them. often fyring

much other stuife that was there.

bullets and case shot and bent close
to Tie bulkehead, so violently
marred herewith boords and spin
tiers that it left but one Of them
standing Of two and twentie.
Their legs, arms and bodies were
SO torne as it was strange to see how
the shot had massacred them. In
all this conflict they never would
desire their lives, though they were
hopelesse to escape. Such was the
desperateness of these Japonians."

We could be more helpful to

and we can all help in kindly
spirit to better the condition of
some person we know, If you
have sick friend visit him. if
you have a friend or a neighbor
who has faults or weaknesses go
to him in a friendly spirit, and
convince him that you are his
friend, and talk to him on the
subject in a kindly way and nine
times out of ten you can aid him
in getting rid Of his faults, and
thereby make you better neigh
boz and the community better

seldom helps in anything. Gen
tleness and kind words will work
wonders toward redeeming the
fallen and bringing them back to
a better life. You can catch more
flies with syrup than you can with
vinegar, is an old but true saying

dwellings Of peculiar interest About
thirty miles east Of Flagstaff, as well

cones the whole region being the

generated, which caused gigantic
babblcs to form in the slowly solidi-

bubbles still remain in the form OF
natural caves, and in these caves the
Indians Of early days found shelter.

say:

That dark woman should fetch about

worth $500. The one beside her
