A Curious Anomaly.

Until few years ago the Philippine

which was Monday to the inhabitants
Of the neighboring island of B0rneo.
This curious anomaly arose from the
historic fact that the Philippines were
discovered by Spanish voyagers com
ing from the east round Cape Horn.
while B0rneo was discovered by Por-
tuguese coming from the west. and sail

Tientsin, China.-Here IL the place
to come to learn "the other side" of
foreign missions. This city and
Shanghai are doubtless the two
greatest centers of anti-missionary
sentiment in the world. The criti-
cisms of missions and missionaries
most commonly heard have to do with
China and with Chinas capital.
Three out of four stories rejecting
upon missions are located in China,
and two out of three are likely to con-
Germ Peking and it's neighborhood.
Now, that means Tientsin. The for
eigq population of Peking is very
small, including few persons besides
legationers and missionaries. But
Tientsin, the port of Peking and of
North China, has the second largest
foreign population in the empire. 1t
is city of imposing European build
ings, of foreign stores, of modern
streets and homes, of clubs and
churches-in short, it is bit OF the
west which greets a traveller like an
oasis in the desert Of the east.
A Missionary Charged with Graft.
On the ship between Chefoo and
Tientsin l was talking over a variety
of far eastern topics with a British
merchant who had lived for more than
20 years in Tientsin. He was plainly
gentleman, man of family, of
breeding and social standing, and in
all respects his views had been tenn
perate. Without his knowing my in
terest in the subject, the conversation
drifted to missionaries. Really, some
one should look into this missionary
business. 1t is not what people at
home think it is. You go up to Pc
king, and you will find the mission
aries living in compounds as big as le-
cations. And during the Boxer
trouble they looted frightfully.
There was one missionary, Mr..
Blank, who was made interpreter to a
British punitive expedition, with the
honorary rank of second lieutenant
At every village he would demand a
large sum of money, in the name of
the commanding officer, which he
would quietly pocket himself At
length word of this reached the Brit
ish authorities, and the missionary
was asked for an explanation. He
fatty denied everything Then he was
given his choice of standing a fair
court-martial. with the assurance that
he would be shot If found guilty, or
of being deprived of his rank and of
being dismissed from the service in

GREAT FEAT OF MEMORY.
ZangWiIl Had at Command All Fa.

AS an indication of the quality of
Zangwill's mental processes may re-
late an incident that occurred while
we were producing The Children Of

in my Office, and we were going over
some of the details of the play. It
was the day that Labori, Intimately
connected with the Dreyias case in

Zangwin had intimate knowledge Of
the case, a New York newspaper sent
a representative up to see him. The
reporter entered, and, after conveying
the news, said:
'Mr. Zangwill, we. want from you a
history of all the famous trials you
can call to mind for our paper"
"1ndeed?" said Mr.. Zangwill; II
think I can prepare that for you.
Come to see me in three or four days
and I will have it ready"
I'VE want it now," objected the
newspaper man. I'VE want to print 1t
in our paper tomorrow morning"
But surely you don't expect me to-
quote you dates and facts out of my
mind on the spur of the moment, do
you?" asked Mr.. Zangwill in astonish-
ment. "Such thing is out of reason"
I'm sorry, but it's the only way we
can make use of it," replied the news

WHAT THE WOMEN WORE.
OF Course the Story Teller Didn't
Really Mean Just That.

A gentleman recently returned from
that quiet little Maryland resort,
Ocean City, has a tale to tell of con-
ditions that are really sensational.
And the worst of it was that he did
not know they were sensational at all.
He was out calling the other evening,
and the conversation started with the
shirtwaist man, who, the returned
wanderer said, was to be found in
great quantities at the summer resort.
Then he told about the habit every
body down there had contracted of
going without hats. This is the way
he told it to an interested company:
"You see everybody down there
going about just the same. The men
never wear coats; they go about in
just their shirts and|trousers, and the
women are just like them"

BAD DREAMS
Frequently Due to Coffee Drinking.

One of the common symptoms of
coffee poisoning is the bad dreams that
spoil what should be restful sleep. A
man who found the reason says:
Formerly was slave to coffee. I
was like a morphine fiend, could not
sleep at night, would roll and toss in
my bed and when 1 did get to sleep
was disturbed by dreams and hobgob-
Inns, would wake up with headaches
and feel bad all day, so ;nervous 1
could not attend to business. My writ
ing looked like bird tracks, had sour
belchings from the stomach, indiges-
tion, heartburn and palpitation of the
heart, constipation, irregularity of the
kidneys, etc.
Indeed, I began to feel had all the
troubles that human flesh could suffer.
but when friend advised me to leave
of coffee felt as If he had insulted
me. could not bear the idea, it had
such a hold on me and I refused to
believe it the cause.
"But it turned out that no advice was
ever given at more needed time, for
I finally consented to try Postum and

gone and health has returned. I eat

The wiser way would be for the

The wiser way would be for the
missionaries openly to disavow re-
sponsibility for the course of all ex.
cept bona fide members of estab-
hshed missions; and Hospitality to
meet honest criticism with frank ex-
plantations and with respect for the
motives of the critics; instead of
maintaining an attitude of silence. Sc.
clusion and self-suf1ciency. In the
matter OF the gulf that exists between
the foreign community and the mis-
slonaries, the latter appear to be more
blameWorthy than the former, for it IS
their business to be friendly with all
men and to guard the good reputation
OF their work. Yet in truth they some
times seem the more censorious of
the two. Some of the sweeping asser-
tions of the missionaries concerning
the evil lives of n-missionary for
eigners are as unfounded as many of
the criticisms which the latter make
OF the missionaries. Investigation re-
veals the fact that in Tientsin more
effort is put forth in behalf of the
moral welfare of the Anglo-Saxon
young men and for the reclamation of
those who have strayed, by the non
missionary residents than by the mis-.
sionaries themselves.
Where the Missionaries Are at Fault.
An interested critic could probably
prove the charges of narrowness, ex-
c1uSiVeneSS and conS0riOucnoce
against many members of the mission
ary body here, admitting the note.
worthy exceptions. All this might be
comprehended within the phrase, gen.
eral unfitness for missionary work in
port city. 1t is a singular lack of
perception on the part of the mission
boards in America and Europe which
often put in the open ports mission
aries who by social gifts, intellectual
equipment and by temperament are
least likely to do the most effective
work there, both among the natives
and the foreigners. No end of misun-
derstanding and Misrepresentation
would be escaped by wiser method
on the part of the boards.
The frequently expressed policy of
the missionaries, that they have come
to work for the heather and not for
Europeans, is mistaken to the point
of absurdity and folly, as in a case I
ran across here. The best single mis-.
sionary enterprise in Tientsin is the
work of the Young Mems Christian
association in the Chinese city proper.
1t is almost entirely self.supporting. SO

Deaths from X-Rays,

of Rochester, from a disease due to
the constant use of the X-rays makes
the fourth who has lost his life from
this cause, says the Chistian Advo-

The others were an assistant of
Thomas Edison, a Boston physician
and woman of San Francisco named
Fleischman. In the case of DR.. Wei.

and all but the thumb and a finger
Of the left hand were removed, there
had been four operations in trying
to save his life. The first removed
part of the right shoulder; then

breast
Mystery completely envelops the
cause OF death, the disease being un-
known to medical science, though it
is believed to involve some great prin-
ciple of life. DR.. Weigel was presi-

FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Ameri.

The Political activity of the Ameri-
can Medical Association mas become
SO pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially as the
the avoWed purpose of the Doctors of
the Regular" or Allopathic school, of
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice of Os.

would prevent the healers of the

the first opportunity. In it's annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however, particularly if the
work of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, larger
clerical force must be employed
This is almost the first time in the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
$4,000 are fully constituted men,

cause of their affiliation with state or
local societies. The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at $111,-

567.89. It's liabilities, at the time of
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
$21, ,906. The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate of
about 100000 year, and the purpose
of the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine, and by crushing
