IN A CHINESE HOSPITAL.

Some of the best surgical work in the
world is done by medical missionaries,
who often have the poorest kind of equip
ment IN the way of buildings and appara-
tus. DR.. H. N. kinnear, at the head of
a hospital in Foochow, has been obliged
to use the sitting-room Of his own house
for an operating room, but last year he
performed over 800 operations with only
his wife and unframed natives for assis-
tants. A new hospital is in process of
erection, on high ground which will bring
the buildings into prominence from a
large part of the city. Of the nearly
5000 patients treated last year several
came from high-class families and they
were most appreciative of what was
done for them. A distinctive feature of
this and all mission hospitals is the per-
son, usually native Christian, who acts
as kind of chaplain. Many of the pa
tlents have never heard the gospel story,
and while they are being helped physi-
cally they listen willingly to what is told
them. Religious services are also held
every day in the room where people
await their turn, and receive the bamboo
tallies that decide the order in which
they are to be seen. Fees are ridicu-
lousy small according to our American
standard, five cents being the maximum,
except in special cases when the munif-
cent sum of twenty cents is charged!
This allows precedence to men who wear
the long gown of the literati, and object
to waiting while laborers and women re-
ceive attention. DR.. Kinnear is a re-
sourceful man and often used the Chinese
queue to hold in place dressings of
wounds about the head, or as sling for
the support of injured or diseased hand
and arms. He writes that he considers
medical missionaries the most favored of
all workers. Yet his salary is far below
what he could earn as surgeon in the
United States.

HIS FOOT CUT OFF
He Calmly Smokes His Pine.

Boston, February 9th. Capt. B. +.
Jones of West Brooksville, Ne. master
OF the Central railroad barge No. 9, suf-
tered the loss of his right foot yesterday
morning by being caught in a blight in
the towing hawser. While all the other
men on board the barge were so shock ed
by the accident that they were unable for
a time to aid the suffering man, Capt.
Jones coolly lighted his pipe and waited
until assistance came to him.
The No. 9 was the middle barge of a
tow OF three that the big steel tug Honey
Brook was taking from the roads, bound
Tor Port johnson. AS the hawser was
paid out Capt. Jones was caught in the
toWllne and when it became taut it cut
his foot off above the ankle.
The tug was moving out of the roads
when Capt. William S. Durkee became
aware that something was wrong on the
middle barge. He dropped the towline
and ran the tug alongside. Under his
direction a tourniquet was placed on
Capt. Jones' leg to arrest the hemorr-
hage, and the Honey Brook then hurried
to fort Warren for aid.
DIR. Starrenburger Immediately re-
sponded and with four assistants went
out to the barge on the tug. The injured
captain was placed on a stretcher and
conveyed to the fort on the tug and is
now in the hospital there. At last ac-
count he was doing as we'll as could be
expected.
During the whole time Capt. Jones,
although suffering terribly, never utter
ed groan. He smoked necessarily and
told Capt. Durkee that he preferred that
his wife should not he informed until r.
was known what the outcome would be.
A shred of flesh was all that held his
foot
Capt. Jones is about 60 years of age.
He retired from seafaring life a few
years ago, but recently he resumed his
sea duties.
Capt. Durkee came up to the city to
secure captain for the barge, and the
tow will leave port this morning. Capt.
Durkee spoke in the highest terms of
the treatment accorded the injured man
by DIR. Starrenburger and his assistants.
BosToN, Februaryss25. Twenty-four
hours of intense pain, during nearly all
of which he stood stoically smoking his
pipe, ended tonight for Captain B. S.
Jones, the barge captain, of Brooksville,
Me-, who died at the Fort Warren hos
pital as the result of losing his leg aboard
his barge early Wednesday. A tauten-
ing hawser snapped off the captains leg
but, entirely unmoved, Jones pulled out
his pipe and calmly smoked until help ar
rived and he could be taken to the hos
pital. He kept his pipe in his mouth I'M
til the very end and expressed no COM
plant at his pain.

MAINE SCHOOLS.
Report of State Superintendent Payson
Smith.

The annual report Of Payson Smith of
Auburn, State superintendent of schools.
filed with the governor and council Feb
ruary 24th, gives the whole number of
persons In the State between the ages of
fVe and Il years as 212,3 29 against
2lO, oll for the preceding year, an in
crease of l,512; whole number of differ
ent scholars attending school, 1872. 94S
against 1872, 553 for the preceding year,
an increase of 425; average registered
attendance per term 1l2, S1S against 1O9,-
O0I tor the preceding year, an increase
OF 3,2ll; average daily attendance per
term, 1892 against SO, 4S3 for the pre-
cedlng year, an increase of 3,469. The
average length Of schools for the wear
has been 20 weeks and one day, an in
crease over the preceding year of two
weeks. The aggregate number of school
weeks for the year has been 1874. 456
against 127, $50 for the preceding year,
an increase of 6, 706.
The whole number of schools in the
State is 1864, an increase of five over
the preceding year; number Of graded
schools, 1888; number of ungraded
schools, 2,371; number of schools located
In rural communities, 2,613; number of
different pupils registered in rural
schools, 81 1858; number of different pu-
pills registered at village schools, As, 543;
number of scholars registered in the
high schools, Is, 1862; average attendance
at the high schools, 1889; number of
boys enrolled, 5,982; number of girls en-
rolled, 1880.
Regarding teachers, Supt. Smith saws:
''The most evident reason for the contin-
ued employment of inexperienced and
unframed teachers is to be found in the
inadequate salaries paid in many schools.
On the other hand such salaries continue
because many communities are willing to
tolerate low standard of teaching rath-
er than to pay the higher salary which
will command more efficient service.
The State assumes the responsibility for
compelling school attendance. It would
not appear unreasonable to consider that
this responsibility is not discharged in
full until the State likewise makes some
requirement regarding the quality Of in
struction to be afforded children while
they are in school. Some progress in the
direction of obtaining more trained teach
ers has been shown, but such progress
has thus far been so slow as to give little
encouragement for a uniformly we'll
equipped force for schools of all classes
unless the State shall provide some min
imum requirements in the matter of
teachers salaries and qualifications.

to be sealed by the blood of Abraham
Lincoln, When the news of the tragedy
OF Ford's Theatre swept through the
country it broke your hearts, aye, il
broke the nations heart. The strongest
men broke down and wept like children,
sobbing, ''What is victory without 'OlC
Abe'!''
February 18th and 22nd are red-letter
days in every patriots calendar. The
birthdays of the two best loved Ameri-
cans are never allowed to pass unnoticed.
We think of Lincoln and Washington to-
day and they seem, as well they may, the
tallest, grandest oaks that ever grew on
western soil! How alike they were in
modesty, self-mastery and religious
faith. God, eternity, prayer, were with
Lincoln. Great words never lightly used.
All the truly great have had this simple
faith in God. William Mckinley, Lin
coins fellow martyr, was in the truest
sense cody man. His faith in God
held him steady in many a storm and
tempest. He said while bearing the
heavie st burdens of State: Il could not
discharge the duties of my life, were it
not for the fact of my faith in God" He
was not unfamiliar with the choicest
language of prayer, and when his soul
passed to be with the God he trusted. it
went out with wings of perfect PRAYER
THY will be DONE
Rev. Mr.. Sauer then went on to show
that nature and environment had done
everything for Washington and McKin-
ley, but almost nothing for Lincoln. He
had, as some one has said, "only his boot
straps to lift him, and the will to try
them. What toll, persistence, thirst
tor learning, enthusiasm for books, char
acterlzed this rail-splitting youth! And
now his moral sense enlarged until it be-
came habit with men to call him Hon
est Old Abe" He never outgrew the
delicate sentiment of youth. He was.
indeed, man, beautiful and powerful in
his manlness. He loved his fellow men.
believed IN them, was one with them.
And women loved him, and love him
still. 1t meant something when men and
women loved to call him Father Abra-
ham," And like father he bore upon
ms great heart the sorrows of the nation.
Thinking upon him today, our hearts
thrill with reverent affection and there
plazes up within US yearning for emu
iiatlon, hunger and thirst to reproduce
IN our lives something of his goodness
and his greatness. And is it not splen-
did thing to be able to say after all these
years that Lincoln's name is absolutely
without stain, not one whisper against
ms character. He never proved untrue
Not for wealth or fame would he mar
the beauty of his soul. He measured up
TO every duty, performing fully and well
all the vast responsibility Of his life.
