scores of Methodist Christians. Inc young
teacher, James NJ. Hoover by name, during
these many months has been hard at WorK
among these Chinese colonists ana aInoHs
the Borneo natives, the head-huntlng
Dyaks. Recent letters from Mr. Hoover
show that there are now nearly thousana
adult Christians in the Chinese colony' anu
that work is progressing among the heao
hunters
The first appointment of Methodist
missionary to Borneo was made in Aprli,
1891. when Bishop Thoburn sent Or. II. IL, L.
E. Luering. then young recruit OF put
two years in Malaysia, to work among the
Dyaks, to fill the vacancy caused by the
sickness of missionaries on the Malay
peninsula: Dr. Luering was recalled "a ait g.,
leaving the island made promise 10 the
head man of one of the Dyak villages
that the church he represented would not
long leave the Borneo natives Wi.nou a.,, d
missionary. The head man in return gave
Dr. Luerng one of the skulls that adorn-
ed the ridgepole of his house as pledge
that he would be a Christian The work
now being carried on by Mr.. Hoover among
these head hunters is a fulfillment of DR..
Luering's promise. For many months after
reaching Sibu, district of Sarawak, where
he makes his headquarters, MT. Hoover
had to live in a shack having only three
sides. one side being open to the weather.
Even yet he is four days journey from a
physician.
Among the Dyaks, according to Mr.. Hoov-
man lives counts for little. His standing
in society and in council depends upon the
number of heads he has hanging before
his door OF these the old chief living near
the missionary has at least fifty, far out
numbering any of his neighbors. The last
time Mr.. Hoover visited the chief he had
pasted on his door behind the skulls
picture taken from a Sunday school lesson
roll and Illustrating Christian charity
These head hunters are easy to get ac-
quainted with and are glad to have the
missionary come to their houses and in
return nearly every day some of them visit
the missionary. The difficulty in working
with the Dyaks is to make them understand
what is taught them AS they have prac-
tically no religion, no words to express
religious terms and no idea of religious
living, and moreover as in this part of
Borneo none of them are able to read, 1t
is difficult to deal inteligently with them.
The only place to begin is with the alpha
bet, and when they can read, enough Malay
words be introduced to express Chris
tian terms. Mr.. Hoover has made Dyak
vocabulary of more than thousand words
and is hard at work trying to use it.

Excessive Tea Drinking.
e New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Excessive tea drinking has its evils the
same as excess in any other drink Part
of the physical deterioration in the lower
classes of Great Britain which Is causing
the thoughtful people of the nation SO
much concern is attributed by the medical
fraternity to the prodigious quantities OF
oversteeped tea which the poorer people
drink In nearly every home in the meaner
streets OF London one may see the faithful
old brown tea pot standing on the hob
stewing away. and that beverage, strong
and bitter with tannin, is drunk at inter-
walls from sunrise to>sundown. They say
It IL ~ bad, too. In Ireland and Scotland.
