heather. First, he appears to deny it; and
then, a minute later, he seems to admit and
defend it.
If [ have not told the exact truth about
what the missionaries supply the heather
with, it is because their own reports are false.
In every case, / have cited my authority; and,
in each case, that authority was friendly to
the missionaries.
| imagine that the main thing that the
Coxites mad about is, the increasing diff
fculty of moilhing the coa0. 1t isn't SO easy
to hold up congregations, as it used to be. 1t
is harder to fool the people. The money is
not so easy to get. The debt of the Southern
Baptist Convention ron up to $4,000!
No wonder they who have been enjoying
such an easy life, upon other peoples money,
are in a rage against "Tom Watson"
Why didn't Dr. Cox deny the statement
that the missionaries have been buying negro
children "all over Africa?"
Why didn't he deny that the missionaries
have established elaborate educational insti-
tutions for the benefit Of foreign children?
Why single out that item concerning the
silk hats?
And why deny what is so capable of proof?
Since DR.. Cox was so rancorous in his at
tack, | mean to get the evidence about those
plug hats; and then [ intend to offer Dr. Cox
the opportunity to publicly apologize. If he
refuses to make his apology as public as his
attack was, he will deserve the contempt Of
right-minded people.
What do you think of the savage assertion
that it would be better for missions ''if 90
per cent of the travellers in China from for
eign lands were drowned in the sea-"
That's nice sentiment for Christian as
semblage, isn't it?
The trouble is Numbered the speaker
the commercial men are usually immoral"
So! That's a sweeping Indictment, to be
sure.
Now-just between us girls-the mission
aries hate the commercial travellers for the
same reason that they detest "Tom Watson"
tile commercial men tell the truth on the
missionaries.
Globe-trotting politicians, with an eye to
the ''religious vote" blandly indorse and
e'7logize missionary work. But soldiers,
sailors and commercial men have no such
motive; and from these, you can get the truth.
Hence, the holy howl!

PrepnrInE the Salad.

Expert advice on the making of salads
was given by Hermann Sem. described
as a master of his subject" at the
Horticultural Hall yesterday.
According to this authority all salad
plants must be thoroughly washed, but
not soaked. Then they must be drained
and torn, not cut, into shreds. Above
all. he urged, never cut up the materials
with a steel knife. When the shreddinr
is accomplished, put the whole into a
salad basket, or into a cloth, and swing
thoroughly to remove the superfluous
moisture. Dressing should be done as
near as possible to the time when the
salad is required for the table.
Mr.. Sem added: "A good way to flavor
with garlic is to place a piece Of toasted
bread in the salad bowl. cut a piece Of
garlic, and rub the toast with It. That
is all. You then place the salad on top
OF the bread, and 1t acquires just the
delicate soupcon Of garlic which is de-
sired"
