THE DEADLY HATPiN.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The new style of hats with the long
hatpins or, better termed, eye piercers. has
become such a menace in crowded convey
ances that the lives Of passengers are
really imperiled. | therefore urge some
measure whereby a person wearing hat
pin with the point exposed beyond the hat
crown shall he fined $40 for each offence.
1t would surely bind the daily passengers
subjected to such nuisance TO eternal graft

Aided by Missionaries.

As regards the unofficial part. the fact
must not be denied that the missionaries
have contributed largely to its success In
this connection il may be mentioned here
that while some foreigners may have a
great deal to say against the sending OF
missionaries abroad. as I understand sucn
a feeling does prevail in some parts OF
America and Europe. the fact that they
have brought about the official recognition
by their respective governments of the
opium evil i'm China, and that due steps
have been taken to have pressure brought

press the coming to China of the drug. Is
