Bureau of Health.

Extract from President Tafts Mes sage:
 For very considerable period s movement has been gathe ring strength, especially among the members of the medical profession, in favor of con. eentration of the instruments of the National Government which have to do with the promotion of public health. In the nature of things, the Medical Department of the Army and the Med teal Department of the Navy must be kept separate. But there seems to be no reason why all the other bureaus and offices in the General Government which have to do with the public health or subjects akin thereto should not be united in bureau to be called the "Bureau of Public Health.n This would necessitate the transfer of the Marine Hospital Service 10 such bu. reau. 1 am aware that there is a wide field in respect to the public health committed To the States in which the Federal Government can not exercise Jurisdiction, but we have seen in the Agricultural Department the expan- sion into widest usefulness of . depart ment giving attention 10 agriculture when that subject is plainly one over which the States properly exercise di- rect Jurisdiction. The opportunities offered for useful research and the spread of useful information In regard to the cultivation of the soil and the breeding of stock and the solution of many of the intricate problems in pro. gressive agriculture have demonstrated the wisdom of establishing tha. de partment. Similar reasons. of equal force, can be given for the establish ment of . bureau of health that shall not only exercise the police jurisdiction of the Federal Government respecting quarantine, but which shall afford an opportunity for investigation and re search by competent experts into 9ues- tions Of health affecting the whole country, or important sections thereof, questions which, in the absence of Federal government work, are not likely 10 be promptly solved

 Rev. W. l.. Beard and family have returned to the United States. MT. Beard has severed his connections with the Y. NJ. C.

His pioneer work in the building up of that lnstitu- ton in this part oi China has been in- valuable, not only so his special con- stituency, but also 10 the entire Chris tian body. An experience Of ten years ss \ missionary of the American Board In Foochow has fitted him iinguistical- iy to begin \ new work without any delay on his return after bis first fur tough, and hts know ledge of the people and their needs was the precious asset in his equipment that made him so quickly effective in the Y. NJ. C. A. work. Two strong. self-supporting city associations are now planted in Foochow, as the direct result of the ef- forts of Messrs. Beard and Mac LAchlin, besides au other associations in cities and schools throughout this province. MT. Beard did not forget his first call To preach the gospel, and was very much engaged in speaking 10 The preachers ot the missions and in con- vention work for Christian workers.

In Is43, or thereabouts, this country suffered fearfully from Potato Blight. The first indication of the blight was in the leaves whitening and turning black. The tubers in whole fields were found rotted without hardly a sound potato in hill The disease prevailed for few years, and gradually disap- peared. Soon after the Colorado beetle made its appeared, and has been ever with us unto this day, but the applica- ton of Paris green to the vines which are attacked, destroys the beetle and its brood.
 And now We have another destruc- tive disease threatening this important article of food. We have not learned what remedies, if any, have been dis covered to counteraet the disease. If seed potatoes have to be purchased, it will be better to send to the Western cities for them than to the Eastern; for large amounts of potatoes are brought 10 this country from the seaboard prov inces of Canada, where the disease has evidently got foothold.

itself out in the soil of native character. thus insuring political reform from within instead of being imposed from without. Prof. Richter cited Japan as another nation where the democratic principle, introduced through Chris tan missions, has developed native power of self-goyeFnment in religious affairs to an extraordinary degree. He believes that leadership in teaching Christianity and planting its instita- tions throughout Asia is rapidly pass ing to the United States. The opinion of such an eminent student of world problems is particularly valuable just now. when foreign missions are emerg- ing from the stage of hostile criticism to a place of recognition as powerful factor in political and social as well as in religious life.

IreIand's Struggles and Hopes.
YEARS BATTLE
Number XII
BY JOHN E. REDMOND.

No one nowadays, except an inter- esied partisan, attempts to defend the Act of Union. Fox described 1t as "a measure the most disgraceful to the government .of the country that was ever carried or proposed" Lecky says it was ia crime of the deepest turpi- tude-a crime which, by imposing with every circumstance of infamity, new form of government on reluctant and protesting Nation, has yitiated the en-
 tire course of Irish opinion Glad stone says: Il know no blacker or foui-
 CT transaction in the history of man than the making of the Union between
 England and Ireland.
 Ireland has never regarded the nion
 as having any moral or legal force, and
 nc lapse of time, and no mitigation of it's details, can ever make it binding on her honor or on her conscience. Resis- tence to it, so long as it lasts, will al- ways remain with her sacred duty, and the method of resistance merely a question of expedieney. It is maln- tained only by force of arms.
 MT. Chamberlain described it, in | 1885, as a system which is founded on | the bavonets of,30, ,000 soldiers, encamp- ed permanently, as in hostile coun- try, system as completely centralized 1 and bureaucratic as that with which | Russia governs Poland or as that which was common in Venice under Austrian rule. Coereions, coneiliation and cor 1 ruption are three ingredients of British government in Ireland. Political job | bery is almost as fiourishing in the be- ginning of the twentieth century at at the end Of the eighteenth century, says | T. W. Russell, himself government 1 official. The Irish claim to self-gov- | ernment rests not alone on historic rights of title, but on the absolute and ! unredeemed failure of the Act of Union. Judged by any test that the wit Of man
 can devise, the Brisish government of l Ireland, under the Act of Union, stands l condemned.
 It has failed to make the people eith. ! CT loyal or eontented. Three insurrec- l tions have been wiped out in blood, and
 the dock, the prison and the scatfold have continued to tell their awful tale | of patriot revolt against insufferable { wrong. Eighty-seven coercion acts, in- l eluding the perpetualSAct of 1887, have sn Ara2 people into the semblance of order.
 Under the Union the population of re- land has decreased from $500 900. in
 ls4e, 10 less than 4, ,000, 900 in 1905. On the other hand, in England and Wales,
 population of 9,000,O00, in 1901, had
 increased to g, 800, 900, in 1901. In hundred years England and Scotland more than trebled their population, whilst Ireland's has been reduced over one-siNih. in 1891 Ireland contained 34 per cent of the population of the three kingdoms. At present she can claim no more than 10 per cent. And the life blood of the Nation continues to flow by emigration, for nearly 90 per
 cent of the emigrants are between 15 and 45 years of age.
 Ireland, Oh, Ireland, long to see
 Thy hills, thy daies, thy people free,
 Once such glance is all crave,
 Between labor and my grave.

The Use ot Hickory.

In co operation with the National
 Hickory Association, the us. Depart
 ment of Agriculture has Just compile ted canvass of the principal hickory
 using establi. hments to asee rtain their annual requirements.
 In the last few years the users oi hickory have become very much alarm cd over the decreasing supply; so far,
 however. 1t has been impossible 10 get satisfactory statistics either of the total quantity of hickory yet standing in the
 forests, or of the amount used each
 year, This is partly because a great deal of hickory Is cut by small pofts- ble or by stationary mills, which, after consuming all the timber within ra.
 dlus of from to miles, are either sold or moved to new points. Much
 hickory is saso split into niliets or
 spokes, handles, etc., Instead of being sawed into nmbcr. Altogether, there
 fore, it Is extremely difficult to make even fair estimate cf the total hleko- " consumption.
 While the figures gathered by the Association and the Department are
 not as complete as were desired, they
 are Al least significant. Hickory is es-
 pcciails sought for the manufacture of vehicle parts and of handles, in which
 gwa, strength and toughness, together with moderate weight, are essential. 1t Is estimated that, in the manufac-
 tase of their special products, the hleS. ory-using establishments consume the
 equivalent of the following;

The American Idea ia Missions.

One of the striking figures at a recent conference of foreign mission boards of the U. $. and Canada, held recently in New York City, was Dr. Julius Rich. ter of Berlin. Besides his erudite books on missions in India, which bear that stamp of accurate scholarship so characteristic of Germans, he is editor and founder of two magazines and CO., editor with Prof. Warneck ,of a third. What he said on this occasion concern ing American methods of propagating the Christian faith in foreign lands was very significant. The policy which most widely differentiates our missionary societies from those in Europe is our willingness to put re- sponsibility upon the natives, leaving them to develop institutions along their own lines, with as little direct su- pervision as possible. Democracy. whether in state or church, is a princi- pie not readily accepted by Europeans, but Prof. Richter says that a marked change Of sentiment Is now observable among them due, in large degree, to the revolution in Turkey. In conti- mental circles it is being remarked that those Americans have got hold of the right end of the problem. ''
 Our oldest missionary society, the American Board, entered the Turkish empire in ls20 and after a period of only S years had the courage to place native pastors over some of the churches Many looked askanee upon The experiment, but the plan is now generally adopted by American mis- sionary societies, though il is consider. ed peculiar to the United States. schools were started on the same basis. The teachers never intoxicating revolu- tionary doctrines, but sowing the seeds of democratic thought in the minds of the young men in Robert College and the Narious schools and colleges under is care An inevitable sequence was a free Bulgaria and the new regime in Turkey today. What the Berlin Con- ference failed to accomplish, what the ehancelleries of Europe discussed in vain for half century. came 10 pass through "the American idea" working
