Pyeng Yang. Korea.-To the tfav-
eler in Korea. Pyeng, the second
city in the empire. is notable as
q boat-shaped city where the peo-
pie are afraid to dig wells lest they
should sink the city; and as the an
cient capital Of the nation where Keja
who was Kerea's Peter the Great, ruled
about the time King David was on the
throne OF Israel and Keja's grave and
ke1a's well are still preserved. To the
religious world, Pyeng Yang is known
as the center Of the most remarkable
missionary work now under way any
where on the earth.
Within 16 years a Christian con-
stituency Of 5000 persons, that is
doubling itself annually. has been built
up and in the surrounding country the
number amounts to more than $4,000.
AS an instance OF the way in which
the church grows may be mentioned
the fact that the mother church of
Pyeng Yang has swarmed three times
within four years and yet retains a
membership OF GA communicates
and 334 catechumens. The church.
which seats 1000 persons on it's floor
of course there are no pews or

The highest known authority on

he: Bananas pay their producer
nearly three times as much money as
potatoes are worth an acre: bring the
grower profits which are three times
the farm value of the chief food
crops of the United States. and have
paid gains equal to five per cent. pei
annum on 81 1873 an acre for the last
% years. The crop is sold years aheac
Of production at prices insuring goo0
profits Mr.. Perry adds: bananas
are by millions Of people eaten green
or ripe. raw or cooked: are served ir
ali ways in which apples. grains and
potatoes are used and are oalatable
healthful and nutritious i'm every way
in which they are prepared. They
mako excellent bread. cakes and pies
puddings confectionery and coffee
substitutes; yield brandy. beer. vine

bought as a luxury by millions whc
may use them as a staple food. Yet
they may be grown prohtably in
