that they are neither extraordinary
saints nor heroes, and that they are
not living lives of physical hardship
and sacrifice; those who really have
hardships say nothing about them.
That in reality they do not correspond
to the image of themselves ever being
held up In sermons; speeches and
articles, no one knows quite so we'll
as themselves. If permitted to speak
frankly, they would say, as many have
said to me, that they have lever ma
terial discomforts than the average
home missionary or country pastor:
that they are ordinary men ind wom-
en-, with all the limitations of human
nature, who are trying to do one sort
of Christian work, which, whatever its
glamour when seen ten thousand
miles away, is In actuality beset by
all the difficulties and d! scourage.
ments of religious endeavor at home,
besides certain other hindr.nces due
to the non-Christian training and be-
liefs of the natives. They wxnld plead
for little less romance asl a little
more reality in dealing with the for
eign mission propaganda; Tor neither
they themselves, nor their work, can
measure up to the enthusiastic por.

A Motley Assortment Of Missionaries.
1t is impossible to speak of "the
missionary" human nature does not
lend itself to generalizations. Mis-.
sionaries are almost as. various a com.
pany as editors or doctors Or lawyers
An honest critic cannot unqualifedly
approve or condemn ''the missionary"
Even at the risk of shocking many
readers, let me say that I have met
missionaries who are as Incompetent
as the bitterest enemy of missions
represents all missionaries to-. be. l
have met others who are so small that
they may be classed as negligible
quantities. have met unmannered
missionaries, lazy missionaries, cow
ardly missionaries, gluttonous mis-.
sionaries, bad-tempered missionaries.
avaricous missionaries, bigoted mis-
s1onaries, eccentric missionaries sell
fish missionaries, and even, in two
cases, I know missionaries who have
been cast out for gross immortality.
There Is scarcely a charge which has
been made concerning missionaries as
whole that I have not found true of
individual missionaries. Let those
who know little of the facts on the
field rush Into qualified defense of all
missionaries as worthy OF. haloes; l
cannot Dc 80.

Neck Bows Worn
by School Girl

TO the school girl the neck bow is
the most important article of the
wardrobe, for usually it is the one
piece OF t1nery which is permitted& her
during school hours, and there ia
more opportunity to select what is be.
coming In the tie than in most of the
other Items Of her everyday ward
robe. Just at present there is quite
variety in permissible neck ties for
the school girl, and she may rejoice
IN bright colored silk or fine embroid-
cred ties, as suits her taste.
The jabot effect, which have be-
come so fashionable for women's wear
are not worn by young girls. The turn
over collar, embroidered or otherwise,
which the girl wears; looks best with
a bow tie having short ends.
Girls to whom the severity of the
style Is becoming are wearing plain
string ties in silk with pointed ends
and made short, so that the bow is
quite small. The tie is usually in the
color OF the suit, or, of course, if the
waist be colored or embroidered in
colors matches that as closely as pos
sible. There are also white linen
string ties which have the ends en-
broidered in white and colors. Dark
blue is especially attractive on these
white ties.
Girls to whom the plain string tie
Is not becoming are wearing full bow
ties of rather small size. These are
not 50 much made of plated silk as
they were. Instead the bows are made
OF sheer linen, there being no loops,
but four ends-two ends each way.
The ends are finished in broad points,
The lower pair of ends are usually
edged with narrow lace and the upper
pair embroidered with French dots
In color or tiny flowers in blue, red
or pink. Some of the bows are made
with four ends all of which show the
upper left hand end having a colored
butterfly embroidered on it and the
lower right hand end another butter
fly.
There are great many Windsor
ties also being worn with turnover
collars, both with the high and low col
lars. For some occasions these are
very attractive, but most girls find
them not so trim looking for regular
wear as the sitter bows. For wear
with soft silk waists and embroidered
collars there are small pleated bows of
net and lace. The pleated net bows
are also embroidered in colors.

A New Gem.

A new gem has been discovered By
prospectors in San Benito county, Cal.
It is described as clear, transparent,
blue stone, with violet tints in the
deeper .colored portion. 1t surpasses
the sapphire in brilliancy and rivals
it in color, though 1t is not so hard;
being about as hard as chrysolite and
harder than moonstone or opal. Under
heat it turns bright red, but on
cooling resumes its normal color. IL
has been given the name Of Eenito,
from the county in which it was
found. ,.>-.s

Canoes Are Liked.

Notable among the new jewelry are
the cameo effects. Those lovely white
or tinted carved heads on pinkish
backgrounds set in oval frames of
gold are highly esteemed for fastening
the lace collar or veil. Their quaint
ness perfectly fits the revival and
fashions of other days betrayedG in
newest dressing. :
Large single canoes form oval
brooches or lace pins. Others OF
small size are set in rows of four or
five to form bar bins. Pretty indeed
are the stickpins with small cameo
heads and the studs consisting Of a

cism. But first let me say that, in
common with most others who have
investigated the subject, 90 not be-
lieve in an Europeans trying to live
as natives live. The China Inland
Mission early adopted that method.
and it has been obliged to maintain
hospital and sanitorium, and to in
valid-home a large percentage of its
workers. AS consequence, the prac-
tice of conforming to the native life
is less general even in this organiza-
ton than formerly. A white man can
not live as yellow man, and keep
his health; serious and costly mis-
takes have been made by missionaries
attempting to do so. AS to the wear
Ing of native dress, little need be
said; most missionaries in the in
terror do 50, in order to appear incon-
spicuous, and because Chinese clothes
are comfortable, cheap and easily OBJ
tanned. There are disadvantages in
living hundred miles from button
Nevertheless, in many cases-by no
means in all-the error is made on
the side of failure to conform as close
ly as possible to native style. My own
Judgment has affirmed the criticism
made to me in numerous specific
cases, that the dwellings of the mis-
sionaries are entirely too sumptuous
for persons of their vocation. Rightly
or wrongly, the church and the world
associate the idea of sacrifice with the
missionary's calling; the natives, too,
quickly come to see the apparent dis
crepancy between the preaching of
self-denial and the practice of material
luxury; some of the most serious
structures upon the missionary's style
of living have come to me from native
preachers. Often, am convinced, the
fault lies directly with the boards at
home; some missionaries have lament
ed, in my hearing, the elaborateness
and impressiveness of their residences
They deplore the contrast between
their houses and those of the wealth
iest natives. The missionary, they
reason, should be the last person con-
spicuous for evidences of worldly DO

sary to impress" the heather is ut

As to Missionary Haloes.
Now l come to delicate question,
which long investigation of the sub
ject causes to appear more serious
than might at first be supposed,
namely, the question of the mission
arys halo. The great bulk of church
people who give thought to the mat
ter at all have become accustomed to
think of every missionary as a saint
and hero. He is praised and prayed
for as Christianity's knight Grant,
without fear and without reproach."
Our noble missionaries" is one of tho
stock phrases Of religion. The man
or woman who engages in foreign
missionary work is commonly regard
ed as a person of peculiar scantity
and chivalry and devotion and sacri-
flee and courage. In word. he is in
vested with halo all his own.
Occasionally have met a mission
airy, usually young and secor d.rate,
who takes himself quite as seriously
as his friends at home take him, and
who, we'll aware that he is one of the
noble army of martyr spirits, goes
about wearing his halo with all the
self-consciousness of girl with a new
Easter hat. Most missionaries, on
the other hand, feel foolish because of
the false attitude in which they are
thus placed by their idealizing ad-
mirers at home. Some of them have
used quite unmissionary forcibleness
of speech on this point. They say

The State Turned Down.

Judge Pritchard, Of the circuit
court OF the United States, operating
in North Carolina, declared in an op-
inion made public OH Tuesday chat
the federal judicial authority can be
invoked to suspend the laws of a
state that rela.e to the control of
railroad management on interstate
lines.
That is the effect of the decision
in the North Carolina case and it
overthrows the contention of Gov
ernor Glenn in his effort to enforce
a law of the state authorizing aim
to fix a railroad rate.
The judge says that a state legis-
lature cannot deprive a federal court
of its jurisdiction-"and the SOONER
those questions are definitely deter
mined the better it will be for all par
ties concerned" There is something
of in the tone of this judicial
declaration.
In the Fourse of his elaborate
opinion, Judge Pritchard said:
ut is uncomfortable that a circuit
court of the United States in the ex-
ercise of its jurisdiction should be
powerless to afford a remedy to one
who seeks to- assert a right which is
guaranteed by the constitution of the
United States. This is in no sense a
suit against the state nor can it be
successfully c%ontended trat the state
Is in any way a party in interest in
so far as the merits OF the contro-
versy are concerned. 1t cannot be
reasonably insisted that this is a suit
to vrevent the state from enroaching
any right which it possesses, MOI can
it be said to be a suit to compel the
performance Of an obligation by the
state nor does it any wise involve a
matter in which the state has a Pc
culinary interest; the parties in inter-
est being complainant on the ohe
side and the travelling public on the
other.
Therefore the questions presented
are not such as to warrant the as
sumption that this court is without
Jurisdiction and a careful study of
the circumstances attending the ad-
OPTION of the eleventh amendment,
as well as the end to be obtained by
the adoption of the same, show con
clusively that those who we're respon-
sible for it's adoption never dreamed
that it could be used as a means of
depriying an American citizen of a
substantial right conferred upon him
by the constitution of the United
States"
The case will go now to the higher
court and in the meantime the in
junction against the enforcement of
the state law will stand.-Sioux
