A METHODIST WHO STANDS HIS
GROUND.

L. w. Moore, of Tallahassee, referred
to you in his sermon, and | told him
that he misquoted you in regard to
missions. So, a few DAYS ago he
sent me the inclosed clipping to try to
prove he did not. I am a steward in
the M. e. Church, and I have not
given anything to foreign missions in
several years. So the preachers do
all they can to convince me that
am wrong. But I can't see it like
they do.
Fraternally yours,
M. L. HINSON.
Concord, Fla, Nov. 8, 1909.
Answer.
The clipping enclosed by Bro. Hin
son was taken from the Wesleyan
Christian Advocate of October 18th
last. In that issue, R. c. Checker
apparently demonstrated that I had
lied on DR.. J. S. Macarthur, of New
York, and on DR.. Paul Wakefield. of
Springfield, ILL.,; and had misquoted
Miss Helen Clark, of New York.
Every subscriber to this paper
who read our number for October
28th knows that, while DR.. Asa
Blackburn, instead of DR.. Macarthur,
made the statements concerning the
hideous. conditions in Chinese mis-
sions, DR.. Macarthur had said virtual
ly the same thing. The exact Ian
guage which DR.. Macarthur used in
talking to the reporter of the New
York World is given in this weeks
Jeffersonian, and those statements
coincide with what DR.. Blackburn
said.
AS to DR.. Paul Wakefield, he was
chased off the field, entirely. In
contestible evidence was produced to
prove that Paul was correctly report
ed by Charles Bowers, the Craw-
louisville reporter, and by Mrs. Man
sell, wife Of the Christian minister
in whose church DR.. Wakefield lee
tured. Although his character for
truth and veracity was at stake, DR..
Wakefield was unable to produce any
evidence whatever to support his de-
malls. 1t should have been the easiest
matter in the world for him to have
secured letters from some of the
people who heard that Crawfords-
Vile lecture.
7~ AS to Miss Helen Clark, she repu-
dated portion of the newspaper
reports of her interview, but she ad-
hered to her strong opposition to the
system which allots white girl to
each Chinaman. But she did not
deny having made use Of the follow
ing terrible Words
For II years 1 have urged the
folly of white women endeavoring to
Christianize Chinese men. All about

Unfortunate New Workers.

In New York we have become SC hardened to eating the strange prod ucts of the cold storage vaults that the fresh foods of our childhood would probably seem unpalatable.

To Drive Dull Care Away.

What! dull, when you do not know what gives it's loveliness of form to the lily. it's depth of color to the violet. it's fragrance to the rose; when you do not know in what consists the venom of the adder, any more than you can initiate the glad movements of the dove. What! dull, when earth, air and water are all alike my steries to you, and when as you stretch out your hand you do not touch anything the properties of which you have mastered while all the time nature is inviting you to talk earnestly with her, to subdue her and to be blessed by her! Go away man; learn some thing, do something, understand some thing, and let me hear no more of your dullness!-Sir Arthur Helps.

Impressions of New York.

What impressed me most when l visited New York" says Harry Fur miss, the well-known English cartoon ist, in his "Reminiscences" in the Strand, was the number of chiropo- dists' advertisements. They con fronted me everywhere. Huge gilded models of feet outside the chiropo- dists' establishments, some painted realistically and many adorned with bunions, seemed everywhere before me as I passed through the streets. If l looked up I saw them suspended from the first-foor window, or painted on canvas on the front of house. If l avoided the shops 1 was bound to knock up against some gentleman in the gutter encased in a long white waterproof, on which were portrayed the inevitable foot and name and ad- dress of the chiropodist"

EVILS LAID TO NEURASTHENIA
italian Physician Asserts That Dis
ease Is Responsible for All Man.
ner of Ailments.

Neurasthenia, according to DR. Do
mede Garlic of Naples, an authority
on that disease, is responsible for all
manner of evils. Lying, spitefulness,
grumbling, 0versensitiveness to criti-
cism, excessive shyness, lack of will
power, inability to concentrate, a
tendency to alternating paroxysms of
exattation and Representatives, and
many other defects of character may
be traced not infrequently, he says,
to neurasthenia. So deeply impressed
is he with the menace of the disease
that he suggests an international con-
ference on the subject.
The British Medical Journal, which
quotes his views, takes the matter less
seriously. Neurasthenia, it says, is
often merely high-sounding name for
that tired feeling The root of the dis
ease lies In unsuitable education.
Competition, the journal says, is too
much the lest of merit nowadays, and
the nerves of pupils are strained to
meet examinations which are not
tests of knowledge really, but traps
for the memory" Therein lies neu-
rasthenia.

TONS OF WASTE PAPER DAILY

Hearing OF processes for the recla-
ton of waste timber brings to mind
the tremendous quantity of paper daily
thrown aside as useless. An office Of
ordinary size produces at least ton
OF waste paper In q month, which Is
disposed of at price ranging from
IS to $40. The purchasers of this Of
fee by-prodact feed it to machines
that bundle the paper by a sort of
hay-press process, and the magic of
machinery returns the soiled scraps
In pristine Wilderness. Waste paper
has become so much a matter of
course that new Offices are built with
a papershed. contrivance for caring
directly for this waste In some bust
nesses this product amounts to hun
dreds of tons in year, end where the
amount is large, as in city printing
Office, it is gathered every day.
In addition to the paper of CONNER
cial and manufacturing concerns,
there is the constant waste going on
in every home, which would aggregate
thousands of dollars every year if ac-
counted for in the economics OF the
country. Possibly, when the conser-
walton commission has disposed of its
big problems. II will find means to
eliminate this source of waste.-Na-
