RECOGNIZES A GOOD WORK
Ex-President Roosevelt Pays Enthusi-
astic Tribute to Mission
Hospitals.

In Uganda, Mr.. Roosevelt responded
to an invitation to open new addi-
ton to the Mengo c. M. s. hospital.
Mr. Roosevelt said:
Long before I came here had
known of the work that was being
done in Uganda, and felt particularly
anxious to see it. Here you have a
peculiarly intelligent native race,
which has already developed very
interesting culture of it's own, cul-
ture both political and social. And the
great work must of necessity be to try
to help that race onward, and to try
to do it in practical fashion, and to
do it so that the doing of 1T shall be
primarily benefit to the race, and,
secondly, benefit to your own people
from whom you come.
Il have the strongest feeling as to
the good that is being done by the
medical missionary. There must be
some visible fruit in the life and work
of the man who breaches If his preach
ing is going to have very great eff
feet upon those to whom he breaches.
That visible fruit can be shown in
many different ways, and one of the
most efficient ways of showing it is
by just such work as is being done in
connection with this building, which
it will naturally be source of pecu-
liar pride to myself to have my name
associated with, and which / now
take pleasure in declaring to be
OPEN"

the. lingams, such representations of
parts of the human body as would
bring the police of any American or
European city about the ears OF
priests and vendors alike. The Ne.
paulise temple. though containing
some fine carvings, is so covered with
obscene figures that European ladies
are no longer allowed to enter, and
European men, unless coarse and vul'
gar. would blush to be seen by any OF
their kind there.
When one comes to the banks OF the
Gauges, he sees Hinduism in its most
characteristic guise, for here to its
holy waters come tens Of thousands
of pilgrims every year to wash away
their sins. They battle In It, they
throw it over their heads in ecstasy,
they dip beneath its waves In holy
glee, they drink its horrible mixture OF
water and dirt at the mouth Of the
city sewers, and then they shiverfngly
stand upon the steps OF the bathing
CHAT and put on their strips OF dry
cloth.
Many of the pilgrims are old men
and women, who have journeyed hun.
dreds of miles. and whose tottering
steps win hardly support them to the
bank Of the sacred stream and out
again. But no matter, their sins have
been washed away in its dirty water.

Half a Conversation,

'Yassar," said the negro through
the borrowed telephone. He stood on
one foot in the drug store and talked
in his natural voice, which made the
bottles jingle on the shelves. The
numerous people in the store heard
all he said as a natural consequence
but could not hear the conversation
at the other end. They deduced, how.
ever, from the negro's remarks that
he was talking with his boss and that
he was a teamster by profession.
"Yessus," he said, II tried dat"

and near by is the burning CHAT where,
in few days or weeks at most, their
poor old bodies will be laid on a pile
Of blazing sticks, while curious tour
lists look with morbid eyes and hear
the old thing sizzle," as I heard one
man express 1t. No reverence, no
solemnity. no respect for the dead is
inculcated by such dispositions of
the bodies In the most sacred spot in
all Hinduism Cremation Is very we'll.
but such cremationl
The Monkey temple Is another show
place for all visitors, where grinning
simians that vault and caper over the
walls. and hang by their tails from the
trees within the enclosure, are con-
sidered sacred and worshipped as
gods. While the monkeys and cows
are petted. the rest of the animal Gre
alton is hardly treated indeed. The
little racks of bones. called horses,
that drag around the Benares vehicles,
are starved and beaten till they fall
In their tracks. and then they are
left to die in agony, for 1t Is a sin
in Hindu eyes to kill and put them out
Of misery.
Human animals are scarcely better
treated. They live in squalid quarters.
in filth and wretchedness, in compar-
ison with which the worst purlieus IN
our most ill-governed cities would be
comfort and decency. They live on
eight cents day. and their wages
will average one-hundredth part Of the
worst paid laborers in America
Yet these are the results Of the
philosophy and religion that are laud-
ed In some quarters in Boston and
other American cities; a religion that
sends Its missionaries to the west to
be petted and adored by some foolish
men and Anticipated women.
Compare such city as have de.
scribed with any city in America, how
ever much ashamed we may be Of
some of our municipalities. Compare
Boston with Benares. and we have
cleanliness instead Of filth, stately
churches instead of obscene temples,
beautiful cemeteries instead of horri-

of being the nastiest-tongued man in

1T was Private Dash, you know,
who, out foraging one evening on a

the owners wife, a grande dame in
evening dress.
Dash asked her for food. She re-
fused him. He asked again. But. still
refusing, she walked away.

Prejudice Against Sleep.

Why can some men sleep at will
and some nervous men too, while 9th
ers, sometimes very heavy" men.
with apparently immovable nerves,
are tortured by insomnia? Why too
do some men seem to obtain sufficient
rest with five hours sleep, while 9TH
ers require nine? Do some men
sleep slow" as Mr.. Smedley ocular
Iy argued in one of his amusing
stories, or do they actually require
more sleep?
The popular prejudice against sleep
works an infinity of mischief. There
are plenty of sluggards even among
the cultivated class, but the sleep
sluggard Is in that class a very rare
specimen. The tendency of the edu-
Gated is to wakefulness, and the man
who does intellectual work and ex-
hibits what his friends think dispo-
sition to oversleep is obeying "A
healthy instinct Sleep recuperates
