Missionary's Garden Necessary.

Meantime the boys are engaged in
the work of the farm or in building or
carpentry. The pastor of the station
is fortunate if he has a white man to
assist him in experimenting these
branches of the work. More likely he,
in addition to his cares as pastor, is
physician and magistrate, his own
farmer, gardener, builder, architect
and furniture maker The farm must
provide food for the boys and girls of
the school. The garden must supply
fruit and vegetables for the mission
ary's table, for he soon learns that he
cannot keep his strength long if he at
tempts to live as a native He must
have variety of food and, incidental
ly, tablecloths and napkins. A noted
African traveller has said that white
men die in the tropics not for want
of the necessities of life but for want
of the luxuries. Besides, his house and
garden must be an object lesson in
civilized living quite as important as
his preaching.

The True Missionary.

There is third figure, very different
from either. Kipling has written with
sympathetic insight the story of the
obscure official or non-commissioned
officer in his struggle to beat civiliza-
ton into the savage half devil and
half child" The Sergeant What's-'Is-
Name" of the mission field has yet to
find his interpreter-or her interpreter,
for the sergeant is just as often a
woman
Life at an African mission station is
very much the same throughout the
continent. The day begins usually
with the call of the bell at sunrise in
the summer and an hour or two before
that time in the winter, for in the mat
ter of early rising it is the white man
who must adapt himself to the native
habit. After brief sunrise prayer the
boys and girls of the school are mus
tered in the courtyard; they shoulder
their hoes, and it is away to the corn
field or the sweet potato patch. Stand
ing in a row at the bottom of the field,
they lift their heavy hoes far above
their heads and bring them down with
a force that sends the iron blade far
into the ground, lift them again and
let them fall with rhythmic regularity.
AS they do SO they chant in a slow,
heavy monotone, which is their near
est approach to singing, any incidents
in their life that may be upperInost
in their minds-the ripening of the
corn, the marriage of the chiefs
daughter or any of the happenings of
the day. Sometimes the work lags and
needs the constant impatient "She-
shani'' (hurry) of the white teacher
The African holds a theory quite the
opposite of Darwin's; he believes that
monkeys were evolved from a race of
lazy people that loafed leaning on the
handles of their hoes, until the useful
implements grew into tails, to the
everlasting shame of the loafers.
Breakfast consists of one of the three
staples, sweet potatoes, squash or corn,
either as mush or on the cob. 1t is
eaten from platters at a bare table
with quick lunch effect, rather a test
of discipline, for the native loves to
squat on a straw mat and take his
time about chewing. No greater dis
courtesy can be offered a native than
to interrupt his meal. But the school
hell is inexorable
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1909-01-22
Harch Language an Obstacle.

AS for arithmetic, it is not easy to
learn the multiplication table, when to
say mine times eight" you have to
let out the following mouthful of
sound: "Tata isishiyangalolonye pinda
nge sishangalombili." But the natives
have an adjunct to difficult enuncia-
ton, sort of first aid, in the language
of the fingers. Beginning from right to
left, the little finger means one, the
left thumb means six, the left forefin-
ger seven, and so on. If time or energy
fail you, you simply wag finger, or if
the number goes into the tens, you
wag two fingers, and the deed is DONE
Your breath is saved.
The white woman teacher in a
school Of eighty or hundred natives
is likely to find, even if she has one or
two native assistants, that her position
as the motor nerve of this too, too
solid mass of African flesh is wearing,
to say the least. The industrial part
of the work is not so difficult as the
purely intellectual. 1t is not so hope
less a task to make the African native
fashion something with his hands as
to make him grasp anything with his
brain. The women have learned in
their native handicrafts such as straw
plating dizziness of touch that make
them fairly apt in the acquisition of
the domestic arts of sewing, cooking,
baking, washing, ironing and cleaning.

but to provide their new equipment
takes an immense amount of lumber
annually.
To provide the lumber necessary
in car building might be difficult for
the railroads, but there is no reason
why they should not raise trees sui
f1cient for their tie and post supply.
Some of them could put no better
use in the vast areas of land granted
them by the government years ago
as part recompense for the construc-
ton of their lines. In later years
some railroads have acquired by
somewhat doubtful methods immense
tracts of wooded land from the gov
eminent. The right of those rail-
roads to hold part of that land is
now being determined by the courts
or will be.
Whether the timber land is in dis
pute remains the property of the rail
roads or is returned to the govern
ment is important to the country as
a whole, but not so important as
would be some concerted action by
the railroads to conserve our timber
supply. by providing for their own
wants in the future.
Although experiments have been
made with all kinds of materials, the
railroads declare they have been un-
able to find any satisfactory substi-
tute for wooden cross ties. The wood
most favored for ties is the oak, but
the oak supply has decreased to such
an extent that the roads are using
southern pine. fir, cedar, tamarack,
and hemlock.
Only in recent years have the RAN
roads been treating their ties with
chemicals to prolong their usefulness.
Had they commenced years ago the
use of such preservatives they would
have saved millions of dollars and
spared the timber supply.
One thing certain is that IL the
railroads do not plant trees for their
future supply of ties and poles they
will be obliged to find steel, concrete
or some other substitute for wood. In
addition to planting trees on their
own lands they could we'll afford to
furnish seedlings to farmers who
would plant them along their lines.

places has been reduced more than

100 per cent, it is a battle Of hope

believes that the greatest need in the
campaign is to keep the public
awake and arouse the interest of men
and women, because the campaign
is no longer entirely one for the

The navy has certainly cause to

sentenced 17-year-old forger either
to enlist in the navy or go to re-
formatory. The nation is proud Of
its Jack Tars and of the personal
record they have established in the
historic trip around the world, and
the implication that the discipline of
highly honored branch of the SER
vice is sort of reform school for
hayward boys and embryo criminals
is one which the nation will side
with the sailors in resenting.
Perhaps concerted movement by

There has been considerable ex-
portation of gold from the United
States during the past few weeks
and some apprehension has been ex-
pressed as to the result. But cool
headed observers have seen the true
inwardness of the situation, and per-
ceived that with an easy money
market here it was natural for gold
to be called for by other countries
where good rates for the use there
of could be obtained. And it is ev-
ident that foreign financial centers
do not regard the movement as dan
gerous to American interests. On
the contrary, American credit has
strengthened abroad And the act
ual and reported discoveries of gold
which are likely to put the United
States in the very forefront Of gold
producers this year, is made much
of in the old world, where the price
of our securities is advancing.
