China bark, quina, quinouina, chin chona bark. quinine. cincona, coantcss pawder, Jesuit's bark.

As it came into general use it became a most important articleof export from Peru. Now 1t is successfully cultivated in Ceylon and Java.
 AS a means of guarding the system from intermfttant fever, the English naval regulations require that every man should take a portion of the drug when the ship is within a certain dis tance of the east or west coast of Afri- ca, and that it should be taken regu- iarly by those engaged in boat cruising along the coasts or on the rivers or creeks.
 We say with as much truth now as did Lambert in 1920: "The treasures which Peru yields and which the Span iards sought and dug out of the bowels Of the earth are not to be compared for utility with the bark of the quin- quina tree, which they for a long time ignored. Chicago Chronicle.

CHIEF AMONG ALL THE DRUGS

CHIEF AMONG ALL THE DRUGS.
 Quinine is one of the most valuable of all the drugs known to medical sci- ence.
 No one would venture to travel in India without it. Before it's discovery 100000 people died annually in India Of malarial fever. The mortality from this cause is. now less than half that number.
 The poor people-so poor that they looked upon the fever as their fate and expected no relief-are saved by the agency of quinine. England could not keep her European soldiers in India without if.
 Livingstone and other travellers in Central Africa could never have made their discoveries without its aid. It is said of the Great German explorer, Schweinfurth, that when he lost his en- tire property by fire, valuable scientific instruments among the rest, he felt the all, and often thought with fear of the journey that lay before him. which, however, he persevered in.
 The soldiers in the American Civil war depended generally upon Quinine. The pioneers in this country when it was first settled and civilized had as hard work. fighting fever and ague in the then swampy, malarial districts as in fighting Indians, and quinine was even more necessary than firearms.
 The greatest inter0cean canal now in process of construction across the isthmus of Panama requires the labor of thousands of men largely unaecus- toned to the climate and so much the more susceptible to its i'll effects. Be- fore the route was decided upon many surveys were made, and the men, naval officers and others, engaged in this work were exposed to all conditions of weather. But through the universal and proper use of the medicine daily as a precautionary measure the mor- tallty was no greater than among men in like employ in other localities. Out of a little more than 5000 white men employed in the construction of the Panama railroad there were only 29S deaths, and some of these were the re- suit of othernthan climatic causes.
 The whole Sworld is indebted to the chinchona tree, from which quinineEis made. Who could have foretold that thla tree, a native of the mountainous forests of South America, would be of such importance in the advance of civ ilization and Christianity? r

THE CHINESE IN SOUTH AFRICA

THE CHINESE IN SOUTH AFRICA.
 The Chinese are apparently not very popular in South Africa, but according to Lord Selborne, the High Commis- sioner for the Transvaal and Orange River colony, the prosperity of the Rand gold mines is necessary for the presence of the imported Chinese min- CTS Is necessary for the Bands pros perity. All classes of people, farmers as well as the mining interest, require labor for the development of industry, and the Chinese supply the needed la bor. Recently, while replying to a delegation of farmers near Pretoria, Lord Selborne said: By the best call culation can make, if you were to turn all the Chinese out of the coun- try tomorrow, you would throw about 5000 white men out of work You have asked for railroads: you have asked for irrigation under proper conditions; you have asked for water boring: you have asked for a land bank. All that means a great deal of money. But if you were to turn out the Chinese from the country you would stop one- third of the whole of the mining business of the Rand, and deprive the government of the revenue by which it can help you to do these public works. And not only would your revenue suffer very much, but so would the revenue of all the other colonies in South Africa.

PooR rEopLE ON coon LAND.

Putting poor people on good land is one of the promising ideas of the time. The colonization scheme of General Booth, of the Salvation Army, which he has recently abandoned so far as Australia is concerned on account of opposition which developed there to the class of people whom he proposed to send to the colonies, can be tried in England now that MT. George Herring has donated $5OO,OO0 to be used for the scheme. The scheme of the Salvation Army, for which MT. Herring has given a hundred thousand pounds, is thor oughly practical and businesslike; nor does it involve any approximation of it's beneficiaries. General Booth purposes to select some three hundred of the deserving poor in London and estab- fish each of them in a cottage with five acres of land and suitable farming implements. The money thus advanced is to be repayable in installments spread over forty years; at the end of that time the land is to be conveyed to the holders. The Salvation Army will turn over the money as it comes in to the Kings Hospital Fund, in annual in- stallments of four thousand pounds, and any profits will be applied to the exten- sion of the scheme
 This scheme ought to work well, and it probably will in many cases. There are people who cannot be really helped in this or any other way. but General Booth will be apt to make pretty judi cious selections.

4 WTNE MAN.

William Newman of Nebraska isn't as famous as he ought to be, and We are glad to contribute our share 10 the extension of his fame. MT. Newman loved a very beautiful girl honest ly. So he got ready to marry, having been led to believe by the girl ne thought was his'n that she would marry him. He was so honest and trusting that he went with his best man to the house of his promised bride to be married. only to find that she had run away and married another. The first thing he did when he saw the situation was to sit down and weep. Having wept he rose up strong and sane, and teIegraph-d his congratula- tions to the couple, and sent to the bride the valuable gift he had bought for her thinking she was to be his.
 MT. Newman might have killed him. self. He might have killed the love- ly yet changing girl. And he might in other ways have shown his love. But he acted like a sound, sensible and kind man. If he wants any revenge, which he probably doesn't, he will have it when the girl changes again and makes her husband tired. We hope that by that time MT. Newman will be married to a girl who knows enough to appreciate his quality. He deserves wife who has both beauty and brains.

LATE, BUT SOLEMN.

It is interesting in this progressive country to notice that one of the quas- tions now occupying the attention of the educational authorities in Great Britain is that of the use of states in the schools. An influential delegation visited the president of the board of ed ucation in London the other day to protest against an official recomnenda- tion, recently issued, to discontinue the use of these articles. Sir J. Puleston urged that there was medical evidence to show that there was less danger of infection through using slates than through using the cheap paper and pen cil introduced in their place; that on the point of economy the advantage was much in favor of slates, and that considerable industry would suffer greatly if the policy was carried out. MT. W. M. Roberts said that a large number of hands would be thrown out of employment and all the capital in- vested in the trade lost. The demand for the abolition of states, he said, did not come from the public, from the
 parents of the children or from the

China presents a steadily increasing market for automobiles, writes Special Agent Burrill of the department of commerce, land the sale of machines of American make has kept pace with the demand. While the purchase of cars to this time has been confined almost exclusively to the foreigners of Shang- fai, the wealthier Chinese now regard this mode of travel with especial favor: and as they are well able to afford the luxury, it is safe to assume that the demand will soon extend to them. Chinese drivers of automobiles are the rule rather than the exception here, and this familiarity of the natives with
 the running of the machine, it's speed
 comfort, and utility, is assisting mate rially in influencing the Chinese in it's favor. The roads in and around Shang1 hai are macademized and keot in ex- cellent condition by the municipal au- thorities, money is abundant, and con- ditions generally are favorable to the extension of the automobile business. |"

All the wise men aren't dead. This story is told of a troopship during a recent voyage from Hong Kong: In the women's cabin were four wash basins, one Of which was much larger than the others. There were three women in the cabin, whose husbands were about equal in army rank. There was a great discussion as to which was entitled to the big basin. It was at last referred to the captain, who gave decision worthy of a Solomon, saying: Tt Is only fair that the oldest lady should have the biggest basin." That basin was not again used during the whole voyage.
