REV. SHEPPARD ACQUITTED.
A dispatch from Leopoldville,
Belgian Congo, says Rev. W. II. Ship
pard, an American missionary, was yes
terdsy acquitted of the charges OF libel
brought against him by one of the Congo
concession companies which has monop-
oily of the rubber gathering in the Kasai
region.
Two American missionaries. w. H.
Sheppard and Rev. William Morrison,
we're charged with "calumnious deuun-
citation" aud libel by the concession
company referred to in the above dis
patch. The suit wss based on an article
which appeared in the Ka'ai Herald.
The chsrges sgaipst Mr.. Morrison, how
ever, were withdrawn. The company
sought to recover Sc, 900 from Mr.. Shep-
psrd.
la substance the charge made by the
missionaries was that Congo officislO
levied upon the natives oppressive So
called taxes, to be paid in rubber; that
whole villages, including women aud
children, we're impressed by the soldiers
for gathering the rubber; that they often
are compelled to travel many miles to
the rubber forests and to sleep there for
more than a week under unbeslthy
conditions; that they are cruelty punish-
ed for failure to MEET the taxes imposed,
and that so large proportion Of their
time is taken for gathering these tsxe'
that they are unable to cultivate crops
and raise food necessary for their sup
port.
The Belgian government holds hal
the stock of the K4sai company and 8
msjority of the company directors sr'

been considered IS practically one y

| sionaties.

WOMAN MADE HOME At kAsuL.
Aged Mrs. Eineoln's Wande rings
Among Oriental People.

A singular romance is related In
connection with the announcement in
the Irish newspapers Of the death,
at Kabul, Afghanistan. of Emily, widow
of Henry Simpson Lincoln.
Some twelve years ago a young In
dian Mohammedan studying at the
Royal College of Surgeons at Dublin
resided with Mrs. Lincoln, who was
about 20 years of age. When the
young Indian finished his studies she
determined to accompany him back to
India, and left the Unitarian church
for Mohammedanism. In the course
of time the Indian obtained a position
In kabul as secretary to the amir Of
Afghanistan, and there Mrs. Lincoln
followed him. Drawing the formidable
journey from Lahore to-. Kabul by
horse and palanquin. although about
so years of age. a
Arriving at Kabul she was obliged
to live in the retirement observed by
Mahommedan women, and saw the
young Indian no more, though she was
allowed to talk with him unseen.
Her last letters to her Dublin
friends told of loneliness beyond ex-
preston and of her belief of an
preaching death. Almost Immediately
a1terward came a telegram stating
tnat she had passed away.

INSPIRATION WAS HAPPY ONE.
Good Idea That Rescued Student frc n
a Serious Dilemma.

A student in one of the theological
colleges found himself face to face
with an examination in Old Testament
history-a subject which he had Ell.
urely ignored all term. Taking coun.
sci with some friends, he decided that
all he really needed to know was the
long list Of the names of the kings
or Israel and their dates So he
crammed them each and all into his
bursting head. But, sad to relate, all
ne was asked to do was to criticise
the acts Of Moses. Not one act OF
Moses, good, bad. or Indifferent, could
the unfortunate youth remember, SO,
after much thought, he wrote as fol.
lows: ....
Far be It for one as humble as I
am to criticise the acts of the great
Moses; but, II you would care to know
the names of the kings of Israel and
their dates, you will find them writ.

Living Pictures.

Universal laziness, nihilism of
ideas, the desire to get everything
without trouble, in lands that the gods
never traversed, have provoked living
pictures. Eclectic gentlemen have OBJ
served that the graceful and violent
exercise Of the dance has measurably
developed the legs Of women, while II
left their busts delicate, and that
women in costumes would have A
most harmonious beauty If they re-
mained calm. They are calm in the
new, evolution of the drama. In the
noise Of a vague music which will
eventually be suppressed, spectators
seated before curtain and immoy-
able women behind 1t look at one an
other patiently and silently like two
focks Of geese. Thalia now is dumb
and has quite forgotten her hymn I'm
praise of Bacchus. The end o. the
evolution. will be that people will go
to the theater to see nothing at al.

tion; but do not like perfection

CADMIUM POSSESSES
REMARKABLE PROPERTIES
Production of Metal Has Opened Up
New Industry in
America

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-There is a
new American industry. 1t is the pro-
duction of a metal which possesses re-
markable properties. Until recently
cadmium used in this country was
imported from Silesia, but now we are
producing so much of it at home that
we import very little of it.
Cadmium melts at a lower temper
ature and, like bsmuth, lowers the
melting point of alloys in which 1t is
used. Bismuth, however, forms brittle
alloys, but many alloys of cadmium
are ductile and maleabe, yet hard.
The melting points of these alloys
are lower than the melting points of
any of the metals composing them.
Several of them liquefy at temper
atures considerably below that OF
boiling water, and silvery looking
"tricki teaspoon made of one of these
compounds melts in a cup of tea, to
the great astonishment of tea drink
ers. The chief source of cadmium is
zinc ore, though small quantities of
this comparatively rare metal are con-
tanned in some lead ores.
