GIRLS MINISTER TO LEIERs

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-To the re
markable courage and sympathy Of
two pretty Brooklyn girls, the Misses
Judith IT. Anderbnrg and Jennie c.
Anderson, is due tha only happiness
that craeps into the miserable exis-
itence Of five lepers on Blackwell IS
land, who are doomed to a living
death Against the wishes of their
relatives and friends, the young wo-
men pay frequent visits TO the men
who are stricken with the most ter
rible disease known.
Both girls are teachers in the Chi
nese Baptist mission connected with
the Washington Avenue church.
The lepers are quartered in Ward
R. small shanty east of the main
entrance of the Metropolitan hospital
and close to the Brooklyn side of
the East river
The young women made their first
call upon the lepers in company with
the pastor of the Washington Avenue
church. Since then they have gone
there together and separately
When either Miss Anderburg or
Miss Anderson calls the lepers gather
in the Open. outside their ward, and
an informal religious service is held.
There is reading from the scriptures
by the visitors, followed by singing.
After this the girls talk with the men
upon any topic that interests them.

GIANT RADIsHEs OF THE EAST
There the Vegetable Grows to an
Enormous Size.

Radishes in North China and In
Japan are as important and ubiqui-
tous a part OF every meal as is bread
in America. In both countries many
millions OF bushels Of this vegetable
are grown every year. and they are
10 be had at all seasons. II is thus
easy to understand why these parts
of the world grow the strangest and
biggest radishes known.
The giants beside the little French
Breakfast. our favorte American va
riety, are but babies beside the mon
sters they grow under the warm.
moist influences of the oriental eli
mate.
These radishes are grown on Amer
lean soil from seeds imported by the
United States department of agricul-
ture from China. They take well to
the American climate. and probably
would have weighed five pounds when
full grown.
When these fellows are grown In
China they rapidly form a great bril-
liant red globe eight to ten inches in
diameter and weighing sometimes 20
pounds. Another kind is snow white
and grows a foot long. and still an
other is a brilliant green on the out
side and a beautiful wine red when
the skin is cut. Some OF these
strange vegetables are exceedingly
delicate in flavor and texture when
grown under favorable conditions

THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY.

In the opinion OF one who has tray.
eled much and observed closely. the
most truly and rightfully contented
people in the United States today are
the small landowners in what il
known as the Upper White River Coun-
try, anywhere from Newport, Ark. to
Carthage, Mo. They are contented be-
cause their surroundings are ideal and
until recently. the great, uneasy. dis
quieting world. with its artificial needs
and inadequate compensations, has
been to them but little more tangible
than dream. Here, still existent,
and by reason OF their very rarity az
this day and time more delectable
than in the past. are the conditions
which have ever appealed with ire
sistible force to the independent spr-
tied Anglo-SaXon. Every man Is the
supreme ruler of his own little prin-
cipality: acknowledging no master
save the law-and possibly his fem
mime helpmeet: Bringing to no en-
ployer; asking no favors from the
world, save those that his neighbors
freely extend and expect as freely in
return. He lives In a latitude where
the extremes OF heat or cold are never
known, and at an altitude that insures
perfect health. The richest bounty
OF Nature has been showered upon
him with unsparing hand, but II is a
question whether he more than dimly
realizes the fact. He accepts as a mat
ter of course the fertile soil which
produces in abundance every guilty.
able growth common TO the north
temperate zone the surrounding for
ests of valuable woods and the under
lying stralas of precious minerals. the
springs and streams of translucent
purity on every hand. the wealth OF
fish and game at his very door, such as
less favored mortals annually travel
hundreds Of miles to find. He IS con-
tented but small credit is his for that.
for how could he we'll be otherwise
than content? II is sad that such
idealistic conditions may not con-
tinue, but il is written that the pres
ent possessors Of this favored land
must soon give place to others more
appreciative of It's Incompatible fea-
lures. A railroad has recently cut its
way through the best of this region.
and the unaccustomed rustic OF bank
notes and chinl1 Of coin will eventually
tempt the hill-dweller 10 part with his
birthright. SO 1t has always been in
the worlds history-the good things
that are ours without price invariably
pass from our hands before we come
10 understand their value. The White
River country will shortly be discov-
cred anew by a class of immigrants
better capable OF judging its POSSIBLE
ities-the men who seek modest
homes where the LAY Of the land"
will effectually prevent crDwding by
too close neighbors. where their cat
tie can fatten on free range. where
the wealth of forest and mine awaits
development by intelligent workers.
