 Ree. F. D. Sargent recently received q iefler from pr. and Mrs. Ii. \. Kin nasf. medical missionaries in the Foo chow. China, missionary hospital, tell ing of the receipt of a pox of old linen, soap and towels, etc, which were sent kx Putnam people. Part of the letter is as follows:
 want to send a hearty expression of our thanks to all the friends who had sny part in getting together that fine bax of old linen, cotton, soap, towels, ete.. for as. It was the best thing of inc sort that ever came 10 us. just as one might have expected il would be vHh The Putnam people preparing il. The stock was not toe great when this let came and now we have All that we will need until fall. But how 1t does eo sometimes,
 II had not been unpacked very long bsfofe we had a case of burn come in, that We are still treating and will have ta attend to for some time. The pa- tlent is q boy from the school Of trades. H. was learning to make bamboo fur nfHHe and was giving the bamboo the fanc4 black staining that k so much used His kerosene torch, thin tube flied with cotton waste. burned out or he lhoazht il did, and he dipped il into a tin Ol kerosene to renew it. There mast hage been spark remaining and the oil took tire and burned the boys face and neck, both his hands. his left elbow and thigh. He was brought to us at once by the president of the school aad We nave been caring for him since Al one time l thought we would lose him but he has done better the last week and seems out of danger now, though he has only commenced to heal oNer. \ few such eases as this make large drafts upon the old linen supply.

 taken charge of the work with the as- sistanee of the students. The boys mother, brother, and several of the boys from the school are taking care of him and so are brought under the in- fiuenee of the gospel. There is no lack of patients and some of them are appre- eiative, probably more than we know about.
 Work on the buildings is progressing as fast as things dc in China. The house is going up the second story. It will be a very close neighbor to the White Pagoda, the closest one it has. The operating pavilion is started and we are finding that the solid earth is under ten or twelve feet of the accum. ulation of past centuries. Broken tiles and earthern vessels show that it is all smaden land.
 The fact that we are able to build a two-story and basement house so near the Pagoda is quite in contrast with what would have been possible twenty years ago. The ladies' home which is next door was not allowed to be two stories high because il threatened to press heavily upon the dragons veins which are supposed to lie under the rocks at the corner of this yard.
 Of course everybody knows that the hospital is a good thing and they are more willing to have it built than any thing else but there is great difference in the attitude of the people toward mission work in general.
