A Brahmin missionary to America,
Marayan Krishna, filling the pulpit OF
All Souls Episcopal Church, in Kansas
City, by invitation Sunday evening, said
in the course of a talk
"We're overstocked with Christian
missionaries. Ninety per cent. "f those
we have are senseless. Furthermore,
we don't want your religion and your
Holy Book. We have more religion OF
our own than we know what TO do with,
a surplus that we'd like to export. So
| pray you Americans, keep your so
called missionaries at home. Ii you
want to Christianize us send us some
men that are qualified TO teach, philos-
ophers that know their own Scriptures.
Until then the Vedas, our tour books OF
philosophy, are good enough for u.s.
Show me country where missionaries
have been that is prosperous. 1t doesn'
exist. There were no families, no plague
in India before the English invasion.

dia, not Indir for England"
During these remarks some members
of the congregation left the assembly,
and later Rev. Charles Ferguson apollo
gized for Marayau Krishna's statements.

Down With the Breakfast Foods.

DIR. Woods Hutchinson's article in
McClure's scoring the advocates Of
patent breakfast foods has caused no
end of comment aud discussion. He de-
cries yegelarianism in general, not be-
cause il is harmful, but because it is
no better than anything else. de ad-
mits that the vegetable diet will main-
tain life in health and yigor, as nearly
one.half of the human race is supported
in this way, but he thinks that there is
no evidence that shows that there is
any inherent superiority in the vege-
tartan diet, as there is none of supe-
riority in The pure animaldiet. His ad-
vice is simply to eat slowly and little
of everything. He is particularly crlti-
cal of the prevalent breakfast food habit,
and points out that the claims of their
nutritive value as compared with meat
or sugar or fat is misleading, because
when prepared as a mush for the table
they contain large quantity of water.

How distressing to see a woman

A Mason Burglar.
"Are you a Mason ?"

'Are you hasOh
This query, uttered with all the glad
surprise of child who has found lost
treasure, rang out in the bedroom OF an
imposing three story brOwnstone house
at No. 1877 Bainbridge street, Brooklyn,
occupied by George +. Gale, his wife and
two children. The hour was 8 a. m.
last Monday.
A few moments before, the queslioner,
a handsome, well-knit burglar OF an im-
proved Rsflles type, had entered the
house at the rear aud rather unpleasant
" bad attracted the attention OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Gale toward himself with the con-
yentional tools of his lraGe-a dark Ian
tern aud revolver.
An interesting conversation between
Mr.. Gale, lis wife and the gentlemanly
intruder, conducted in we'll modulated
tones. relative to the transfer of certain
properties belonging to the Gales, had
preceded the thrilling moment at which
this narrative opens. Mr.. Gale had Just
begged to be allowed to keep ring he
vas wearing because it bore Masonic
design and had greater sentimental than
Intrinsic value.
"Let me keep it, wont your he urged,
at is a Masonic ring. 1t can do you
no good"
1t was then that the man behind the
run and the lantern asked:
care you Mason?"
81 am" replied Mr.. Gale, blinking
in the dazzling light, adding with as
much dignity as his recumbenI position
in bed would permit;
care you a MasOD?'
81 am, ;" replied the burglar.
"What !" exclaimed Mrs. Gale, her
astonishment overcoming her terror.
"YOu a Mason aud burglar"
The unconscious brutality of Mrs.
Gales direct question discomfited the
intruder. Every action betrayed him
as a beaten man. The superb conf
dence in his own powers exhibited when
he first entered the room was gone.
He hung his head. His lips trembled.
His words, when they came, were brOk-
EN- and uttered hesitalingly.
-Madam. lt-is-true. ! am
q Mason and a-a"-
"Come My money is in my coat
pocket there. Take it and get out. "
interrupted Mr.. Gale.
"No," replied the stranger, shaking
his head. "You may keep the ring and
the money too. want nothing from a
brother Mason. But will you give me
your word as Master Mason thai
neither you nor your wife will get az
until | have been gone from the house
FIVE minutes"
The pledge was made aud with quiet,
al beg your pardon for all the trouble
have caused you," the unbidden guest
was gone.
In telling the story yesterday, Mrs.
Gale insisted her burglar was "a perfect
gentlemen"
The gentleman" evidently thought
twice over his good resolution. On hi:
wav out he took silver and worries 10 the
value Of $3.50, and exchanged hat and
coat with Mr. Gale.
"The man came in during the thunder
Storm" said Mr.. Gale, "and was a mos
determined sort of burglar until tOlC

loathe to believe he is a member of my

1t is the great aim of the leading
Jews in civil and religious life to

tremely pronounced in his opposition

receive known usurer in his house.
A reporter seeking the rabbis views
OF Lewis requests was informed by
his secretary that 1t was thought
that the money would be accepted,
On the ground that it would be better
to put 1t to good use than to have
