India, marriage lottery Is held, gen.
orally in October. The names of all
the manageable girls and Of the
young men who are tired of bachelor
life are written on slips of paper and
thrown into separate earth pots. One
of each kind is drawn at one time by
a local wise man. The youth whose
name is drawn out obtains letter of
introduction to the young woman whose
name accompanies his, and then all
that remains for him to do is to start
courtship, with all the ardor Of which
he is capable. Such fortuitous court
ships might not appear at first sight to

majority of cases, everything turns Out
very satisfactory.

..4.. PEKING, China
The missions at Picking are often pointed
out as models. And with reason. The
workers are Of higher grade than ordi-
nary, and they maintain pleasant social re-
lations with the legation people and with
the few other Europeans In the capital.
They are on friendly terms with eminent
Chinese. Their work is substantially plant
ed and housed in fine quarters. They dis
play q degree Of UNCONVENTIONAL corrity far
IN advance of what is generally to be
tound in America. At least one prosperous
native church exists. and medical and
educational service Is rendered to the COM
munity which commands the praise of all
observers. There are serious grounds for
criticism. also, and these will be mentioned
later.
y The American missions are the Northern
rethodists. the Congregationalists and the
'resbyterians, the London mission and the
'rencHRoman Catholics represent the con-
.inent Of Europe. Near Picking. and to be
considered in this general group, are the
Congregational mission at Tung Chow, and
the Presbyterian, Congregational and China
inland mission at Pao-Ting-fu, both of
which cities were centers of the Boxer out
RACES. The year 1900 wiped the missionary
was not even a vestige of the former estab-
lishments left. This accounts for the new
ness. orderliness and attractiveness of the
much discussed mission compounds.
-
The most notable feature of mission
work hereabouts is the union educational
plan in which all the missions are united.
Thus the Congregationalsts put into the
scheme the fine ney college for men at
Tung Chow and the college for young
women at Picking; the Presbyterians the
theological seminary. and the London Mis-
sion the great medical college and hospital
at Picking. The Methodists unite only in
the medical college. Each denomination
has representatives on the faculty of all
these institutions. and they are Jointly
managed. Each mission maintains its own
primary or day schools as before
The result is an educational work foD the
Chinese which must evoke the admiration
Of every one who sees it. The empress
dowager Is contributor to the medical
school and hospital. All the buildings are
large and we'll equipped, with the possible
exception. in the last particular, of the
theological seminary, and it has a fine

which are housed not only ministers and
attaches, but detachment of legation
guards as well. Their impressiveness Is
heightened by. the park-iike arrangement
of the attractive gray stone homes of the
m ssionaries.

The compound was enlarged Immediately
after the Boxer outbreak, when the Chinese
were in a state of terror and poverty. The
ground was bought at what one OF the
Methodist Missionaries characterized as
good Chinese prices" the charge frequent
ly made that the property was looted is
unfounded. Nevertheless the opinion seems
eigners that an unwise advantage was
tanen of peculiar conditions and that the
Methodist Church will one day rue its
great bargain" for the Chinese never

indemnity money.
In connection with the securing Of the
land for this compound occurs the name OF

ing him have heard repeatedly the charge
that he has, for pay, served as the repre-

and railroad concessions at Picking, using
his influence an eminent and honored
missionary to secure privilege from the
government for the companies employing
him. This report did not reach me
through Picking missionaries, but the ac-
cusation was first definitely made to me
just as 1 was leaving the city by the re-
firing first secretary of the American lega-
tion, who, naturally, knew whereof he
spoke. The missionary in question is now
in America on furlough, so l could not Sc
