Charles M. sehwab's Good Illustration

Charles M. Schwab said recently in
Pittsburg that railroads had only
themselves to blame for the weakness
Of their rails. He said that they
should use rails three times dearer
than the present ones-nickel steel,
not Bessemer steel rails.

have undying fame in railroad his
tory. He. unlike too many great men,
will never be forgotten"
Mr.. Schwab smiled Speaking of
forgotten fame" he said, Il am re-
minded of a story about Westminster
abbey.
AN antiquary one day visited the
abbey, and found a stonecutter at
work in the little cloisters, recutting
the name of Wilson, the great tenor
Of Shakespeare's day. The antiquary
began to tell the stonecutter about
Wilson, how he had been Shake
speare's friend, and Ben Jonson's, and
Kit Marlowe's and how all these men
had loved and honored him. The
stonecutter, looking up from his work,
frowned and shook his head.

WEEDS THAT ARE VALUABLE.
Chief Among Natures Most Precious
Gifts to Man.

New Zealand fax is one of a num-
ber of wild weeds that yield their
gatherers. great wealth. This fax, the
strongest known, grows wild in
marshes. When it is cultivated it
dwindles, and it's fibers become brittle
and valueless.
Indian hemp grows wild, and out of
1t hasheesh, or keef, is made. Keef
looks like flakes of chopped straw. 1t
is smoked in pipe; it is eaten on
liver; it is drunk in water. 1t pro-
duces an intense, a delirious happi-
ness, and among orientals it is almost
as highly priced as beer and whisky
with us.
The best nutmegs are the wild ones.
They grow throughout the Malay
archipelago.
But the most valuable weed of all
these wild growths is the seaweed.
The nitrate beds of South America,
which yield something like $65,OOO, 900
year, are nothing but beds of sea-
weed decomposed.

The Orient As It Is.
Coming to this city of Taiku. in,
cars made in Wilmington, Del, and
drawn by Philadelphia-made loeomo-
tive, l found the Orient in all its an.
cient picturesqueness. Port cities al
ways show the touch of the West upon
them. Taiku has not so much as
jinrickisha, nor roads for it to travel
on. The streets are narrow lanes.
lined with mud fences and houses.
Each Korean house has it's own COM
pound, or enclosure The houses
themselves are very low and very
small The usual room is eight feet
square and in this whole family will
live. AS for furniture, there practic.
ally is no such thing. A chest of
drawers will hold the family posses,
sions, while others dangle from the
rafters. A block OF wood serves for
pillow; the Oriental sees nothing
strange in Jacobs stony pillow at
Bethel The houses are matched with
straw, tied on with ropes. A village
presents dull gray appearance seen
from any distance. Large ugly dogs,
noisy but cowardly, swarm the streets
waiting for the inevitable day when
they will find their way onto their
masters tables. Taiku is surrounded
by wall, in the fashion of all Korean
cities; but the day, arrived the Jap
anese had begun to tear this down,
after standing for centuries.
The American Colony Abroad.
On commanding site outside the
city of Taiku found settlement of
American missionaries living in
houses of mixed Korean and Western
architecture. Formerly some of them
lived in native houses right down in
the heart of the city, where, do not
hesitate to say, no white man, mis-
sionafy or otherwise should ever live.

Taiku, Korea.-Picturesque placid

of the orient, = personifcation Of the
far eastern question. Religiously con-
sidered, the situation here is doubt
less the most interesting in the world
Certainly this is the most promising
and successful missionary field now
before the eye of Christendom.
The contrast between Korea and
Japan in this latter respect is marked.
Across the strait, the missionaries are
all concerned over the independence
movement in the native church, and
fearful lest they should do or say
something to offend the sensitive Jap
anese pride. Here, the missionary has
none Of these problems; his one con-
cern is how to visit all the localities
that are calling for him, and how to
find time to instruct all the cate
chumens awaiting him, and to receive
into the church the men and women
ready for membership, since some
churches can be visited only every
three months or half yearly. In a
word, here are missionary conditions
more nearly ideal, and more nearly
what the Christians in America think
foreign missions to be, than in the
more famous country of Japan.

The Doctors Opportunity.
One phase of missions about which
there are no two opinions is the medi
cal work. Immediately upon landing
in Korea from Japan l came in touch
with this for the first time, because
the Japanese have their own medical
science, and there is practically no
medical mission work, in the usual,
sense, in that country. On the hill
side as the traveller enters Fusan har-
Dor, he sees flying a Red Cross flag.
and this, he learns, floats over the
hospital of the American Presbyterian
mission. This is the only hospital in
Fusan and 1t was the first fully equip
ped modern hospital ever established
in Korea. 1t was started 13 years ago
by DR.. Charles H. Irwin, of Ohio, who
has ever since been the only physician
in the hospital, and the only European
doctor in Fusan.
The building would be counted small
as hospitals go in the West, but it has
half a dozen wards, with two, three
or four beds each, an operating room,
a convalescents' room and a dispen-
sary, with waiting rooms for men and
women, the sexes being separated in
Korea. The only assistants are Ko-
reans whom DR.. Irwin himself has

Her government institutions are all
managed by the latter. Even the SEM
blance of seHf-government is being
wrested from her feeble hand; while
robbery, abuse, oppression, injustice
and even murder are the lot OF her
common people. Il
Into these intensely interesting and
significant questions it is not the pur-
pose of this article to enter. To indi-
cate them, however, is essential, if
conditions here are to be understood.
For in their helplessness and misery,
the people are turning to the Ameri-
can missionaries as their only friends
and advisers. The king himself leans
more heavily upon the protection and
counsel of certain of the older Amer
ican missionaries than upon the most
trusted of Korean patriots. On one
occasion, when great plot was in
process of execution, including an at
tack upon the palace, the king sought
for the presence and help Of three
American missionaries, and while
mob of thousands howled outside the
palace walls and soldiers surrounded
the imperial quarters, his majesty
clung-literally and physically clung-
for protection to these three Ameri-
cans.
