Civilization and Missions.

There is question THAI is larger
than government or trade, and that is
the moral wen-being of the vast mil
lions who have come under the protec-
ton of modern governments. The rep
resentative Of the Christian religion
must have his place side by side with
the man of government and trade, and
for generations that representative
must be supplied in the person of the
foreign missionary from America and
Europe. Civilization cam only be per-
manent and continue a blessing to any
people if, in addition to promoting
their material well being, it also
stands for an orderly individual liber-
ty. for the growth of intelligence and
for equal justice in the adm Illustration
of law. Christianity alone meets these
fundamental requirements. The
change of sentiment in favor of the
foreign missionary in single genera
ton has been remarkable.

RAGS, THE NAVY YARD DOG.
Able Seaman Jones Tells Some
Large Stories of the Canine.

Able Seaman Jones Tells Some
Large Stories of the Canine.
The battleship Massachusetts was
fioated out of dry dock at the New
York navy yard in Brooklyn yesterday.
Shortly afterward there came out of
the pumpedeut dock little, lanky
dog. A little fish dangled in his teeth.
The dog was Rags, the canine Izaak
Walton of the marine guard.
Where away, sir? Didn't hear bout
Rags, our dog. that fishes?" said TOD
dy' Jones, able sailorman, to the in
quisitive visitor "Wallop me, yer pilot
house amt got all the charts this
cruise. Why, there are more real live
fish in dry dock when it is pumped
out than there are in them there har-
Dor craft that go out with a cargo Of
landlubbers and come back with all
the ballast in their foretops. Them
fish get shanghaied in the undertow
when the dry dock Is opened, and
when she is pumped out and all closed
they are left marooned on the bottom.
This dog, he just goes down and gets
'em.
Rags is all right. He's low in the
freeboard, bout foot of draught, and
three feet in length, and his armor
plate he must have swiped by jumping
In glue pot and then rolling In a
rag yard. But he's cute. He got a
job here on his face two years ago
from the marine guard. And that dog
can laugh, mister-Ieastwis he never
stopped since he run afoul of govern
ment rations. He goes around the yard
every time picket is posted and sees
them marines do their duty
when he was piped off that the
Massey was being floated that dog full
steams down to the dock He shinnies
down the steps leading to the bottom
and takes an observation between the
keel blocks. Then he footed his siren.
Quick as falling off a yard Rags
dove his bow in tween the keel blocks.
| UP he comes with four-inch Teller
in his teeth. He flung 1t contemptu-
ous-like on the dry floor. Then he
dove again and flung six-inch feller.
Mister, he puts six Of them in a row.
and then he just turns around. and
whacks them dead with his tail. Sure
