| room in Chinese inn, or your sleep
ing shelf on a Chinese boat. l can
scarcely imagine any power short of
supernatural religion, that can clear
up the Chinese, even externally. AS
for his inward, mental and spiritual
filthiness, that must be passed over
in silence. To hear, and understand,
one Chinese as he reviles another is
to discover a new and horrible world
of corrupt imaginings.
Making Sport of Suffering.
The first day we landed in China,
we saw some children having fine
sport in killing kitten by the gentle
process of jumping upon it. The i'm
preston then formed has been stead
lily deepened, that the Chinese are
cruel people, cruel to dumb creatures,
but crueller to one another The
statement is almost warranted that
here is a nation without a sense of
pity or sympathy. A roadside death
is a pastime for the bystanders. When
a coolie was cut clear in half by the
swinging of a heavy steel plate
against the hatchway of a ship at
Tien-Tsin on which he was working,
his work fellows laughed heartily.
AS our ship was being warped into
her moorings at Shanghai boatman
fell overheard, and the crowd
laughed; although he spoiled the
point of the joke by managing to
scramble out. At an execution l saw
crowds pressing eagerly about the
headless trunk of the victim, and
laughing merrily over his fate. One
must hear on the spot the unreport-
able fiendishness of the Chinese mobs
toward massacred missionaries to
realize the unfathomable depths of
Chinese cruelty. The gentleness of
Jesus, who taught: Blessed are the
merciful," is sadly needed in China.
A Nation of Liars.

Christianity is utterly lacking in

leges, and Seeks Divorce.

Delaware, O.-Prof. H. w. Bradshaw,
professor of the Sunbury schools, this
county, president of the Delaware
County Teachers association and a

being the daughter OF the late Keifer
Jacobus, one of the wealthiest farm
ers in this county and by whom Mrs
Bradshaw was left large estate. He
says she has left for parts unknown.
Her disappearance brings up a bit
)f gossip afresh, and it is alleged that
the professors wife visited Columbus
and passed through Delaware to To
ledo.
The professor sought to secure a re-
straining order on the sale of the
wife's estate before Judge Seward, but

Revlvina Tired Honey Bee.

The honey bee is proverbially indus
trious. When everything goes we'll
with it no form of animal life has
more vigor, works more zealously, nor
defends its home more bravely.
But the bee soon loses its activity
when separated from it's home so that
it cannot return, as, for example, when
it gets into room and fails to find it's
way out Cold rain or lack of food
also soon puts it into feeble or ex-
hausted condition, making it appear
as if it were discouraged. But nearly
all of it's usual activity may be re.
stored by little sugar or honey

The Lesson of Life.

There is nothing so absolutely
crushing in sorrow as to feel ones self
drifting at the mercy of some chance
wave, sweeping forward to an un-

that life is school-house in which
we are being taught by our Father
Himself, who sets our lessons as He
sees we require them-Rev. F. B.

China. This is nation of liars. Not
to lie is considered foolishness. There
is nowhere the Anglo-Saxon assump-
ton that the other man is playing a
fair game; you simply have to match
him in guile or suffer The incon-
venience, the annoyance, the exasper-
alton of having to live surrounded
with consummate liars must be ex-
perienced to be appreciated.
Take one of countless incidents,
as illustrative; the fare from Chin
kiang to Marking by boat is two dol
lars. Upon buying my return ticket l
was told by the official that it was
four dollars; when the gentleman who
was escorting me to the boat, mis-
sionary, made it plain that he was no
unposted traveller, the man promptly
and without embarrassment, accepted
the right fare. That missionaries man
age to maintain their simplicity and
open-heartedness in this land of guile
is a marvel of religions power.
Being a liar, the Chinese is also,
logically, a thief. That steamship
clerk thought no more of stealing two
dollars from stranger than the vice
roy thinks of squeezing" the pubic
revenues. He would also doubtless
have worked off his counterfeit money
in change, had change been required.
On that very occasion l discovered
by the refusal of Chinese to accept
it, that l had one of the innumeraDle
counterfeit coins with which the land
is flooded. When threw it into the
river the surrounding Chinese plainly
looked as If they thought that | should
be thrown after it, as fool and a
madman. Simple honestly in most
matters seems beyond the Chinese
ken, although they have a scrupulous-
ness about keeping contracts once
made, and about fulfilling trusts,
which has been frequently and Justly
praised.
No Work for Cupid.
One day a certain native pastor was
