Centenary Of the Establishment Of the
First Station in the Celestial

1t is just 100 years ago that the first
missionary began work in China, and
that event is to be celebrated in April
by a missionary conference. Robert
Morrison was the first man to feel the
call and to gain c to the seques-
tered kingdom. For. six years he Ia
bored alone, when in 1913 Milne, who
died nine years later, Joined him. The
place left vacant was taken by Med
hurst, and together these two men
labored for years without any visible
results, but full of faith that God was
with them and that eventually the
Gospel would win it's triumphs. And
this confidence was not misplaced as
may be easily appreciated by a con-
sideratioin of the growth of missions
In China since 1912, when the country
was first really opened to missionary
work.
A perusal of the statistics of these
missionary efforts is both interesting
and instructive, and illustrative of how
the little mustard seed of beginnings
has grown steadily through the years
until it has become a great spreading
tree of missionary activity. Some

HuMlLlATlNG FATE OF MANY OF
THE RACING YACHTS.
Puritan Goes to the Junk Dealer-The
Rioneer America, First Winner Of
the Cup, Still Afioat.

OF the famous big yachts which
have been built to defend the Ameri-
cas- cup, some have gone to the scrap
heap and nothing is left of them but
the hull, some are used as party
boats: some have a brush with their
sister yachts now and then, and some
are laid up at piers, dismantled, out
OF commission and useless. The &C.
tive life of the defenders of the Amer
ica's cup rs not long, but their old age
seems everlasting, and they will all
seem comparatively young as long as

eer, America, swings to the tide at
the Chelsea bridge, Boston, still the
admiration of all who look at. her.
F1ttingly enough, her history since
she won the cup, in 1851, has been
more stirring than that of her sis
tiers.
Every challenge for the famous cup
which she won and brought to this
country but revives the story of the
famous yacht. When the news of the
victory of the America reached this
country, about two weeks after the
event, a celebration was in progress at
the state house which marked the
opening Of railway communication be-
tween h United States and the Can
adian provinces, and Daniel Webster
was addressing a large audience in
the house of representatives. He
o off in his speech to announce
the victory, and said: Like Jupiter
among the gods, America is first, and
there is no second"

she won the cup to Lord John de Bla-

lie sold her a couple of years later
to Lord Templeton, who laid her up
at Cowes in 1854, where she remained
until 1859. When hauled out that

in, and she would have fallen apart
and ended her career then, but the
owner of the Northfeet yard, where
she was hauled out. bought her.

gave her new frames Of oak and teak

sold to H. E. Decie, who named her

chased by a man at Savannah and
fitted out as a dispatch boat and
blockade runner for the confederacy

She was put up at auction in 1870
and Gen. Benjamin F. Butler bought
her through a friend, Col. Jonas H

FiIet Darnjnu.

Filet darning is the favor;te work
for woman's leisure hours at the
present moment. If a knowledge of
a netting is possessed the foundation
fabric is made by the worker, but if
not, the square meshed is bought at
the lace counters, and is then darned
in historic patterns to initiate an
tique lace. The articles ~oftenest made
are doilies and centerpieces, but pill
low covers, table and bureau scarfs
offer themselves for adornment with
the flet squares, and even bedspreads
and curtains are sometimes attempted
by the ambitious workers. When
eyelet work and the padded French
embroidery are used in conjunction
with the flet lace the result is very
decorative. The foundation net must
be stretched over a frame to be
darned to best effect. Some lingerie
blouses show insets of the ilet lace
with awful]y good effect.
