Of the departed and that the methods
of communication were by spiritual
writings on states. and through rap
pings People looked upon the sisters
in those days as impostors and many
for miles around travelled to the lit
tie town to attend the seances. Dur.
ing the course OF a seance the two
sisters would have articles of furni.
ture such as tables to move around,
and by the party sitting in an III
lighted room they could hear the
.rappings and would send messages
TO departed members OF their families
and friends and receive answers
written on states put together. After
several months OF holding sittings In

MONEY SPENT FOR soDAs.
Ten Thousand Dollars a Day Not Un.
usual in BIG City.

"Ten thousand dollars worth of
soda water a day-well, probably"
said a city druggist whose trade in
the efferyescent fluid is considerable
part of his business. ''In summer the
days bill for this city Is doubtless all
of that and more. Take the average
price of soda at ten cents per glass,
figuring that the Sundays and other
15-cent connections offset the Ave.
cent drinks, and $4,000 means hun.
dred thousand glasses of soda, not an
excessive estimate for million and d
half people, allowing for the visiting
strangers, who are generally thirstief
than the natives. Oh, yes, it has
opened, but prabably this days sales
over the whole town won't exceed
$4,000, or perhaps they will be less
than that. But, all told, allowing for
good days and bad, winter and sum-
mer, this city probably drinks at least
million dollars worth of soda water
year, and. what's more, never misses
the money.

There has not yet been appointed
any director for the geological sur

both jobs and spending part of his

it is not necessary to say which

workers in the other, and they were
just exchanging the time of day. Said
the one:

now?"
Fine" said the other; '"but it's
the first time in my experience that
1 ever had the pleasure of working for
a bifurcated boss"
Just then Col. Walcott walked in
the door, and, patting him on the
shoulder, said:
"Glad to see you. It's the first time

ton at the outset, since it is the con-
slant specter at every missionary fam
lily board, is the enforced separation
of parents from children. This strikes
down to the deeps of human nature.
The breaking of these ties that are as
old as the race, and stronger than
death, is the overcoming tragedy of
missionary life. Children must be ed
ucated in the homeland; it seems i'm
possible to raise a good American In
an Asiatic atmosphere. Even in earli-
est years the children imbibe with the
native tongue more knowledge of evil
than comes to the normal boy and girl
at home in 20 years. AS they approach
or enter their teens missionaries chill
dren must be surrendered, and fre-
quently they are not seen again by
their parents until they have attained
manhood or womanhood. Tragic tales
are told of children who do not recog-
nize their own parents and of parents
who do not recognize their own chill
dren, after these long separations.
This appears to me to be the worst Of
all the hardships that come to these
uncomplaining missionaries.
While on the domestic aspect of the
missionary life it is worth recording
that the second generation may fire.
