Chinese Mohammedana.


A traveller in the upper Tangtse prov
inces Of China found in the town Of
Hinganfu many Chinese Mohamme-
dams who keep up communication with
their fellow religionists Of Arabia. A
missionary who has lived among them
for years declares that they are very
quarrelsome, much given to boasting
Of their Turkestan origin, and, In spite
of the prophets injunctions, drink q
great deal of wine. This Is usually the
case with Chinese Mohammedans. In
Hinganfu, and more especially in Kan
sub, a few Of their spiritual teachers
keep up their knowledge of Arabic and
are occasionally visited by Arab or
central Asian mollahs, who follow the
old Arab trade route by way Of Hami,
by which the Arabs originally traded
and propagated their faith. These mol
labs visit every country in the east
where the followers Of the prophet are
to be found and keep up the ties Of the
faithful with Islam. AS they often
stir up dissatisfaction and foment dis
turbances against the Chinese authori-
ties, the latter regard them with sus-
+ DiciOn.

Golden wedding.

A most delightful occasion was the

relatives and friends from far and near to
celebrate the golden wedding of Mr.. and
Mrs. Oramel B. Flint. The day was as
fine as the one so years ago when Mr..
Flint and Miss Roxa Brickett were
married, and they received their friends
at their home under canopy OF golden
rod and ferns. There was a profusion
of wild flowers and ported plants artistic.
ally arranged about the house by Mrs
Perry Flint and Mrs. A. A. Flint Of
Tyngsboro, wives OF the sons of the host
and hostess. After appropriate remarks
and an informal wedding ceremony by
Rev. F. E. Currer, the friends extended
most hearty congratulations aud ex-
pressed the hope that they might all be
present at their 18th anniversary. The
large dining room was soon filled, where
an excellent lunch was served by Caterer
