Just here the trouble begins. The

the ownership Of, say, 100 acres Of land,
on which it puts up buildings suitable
for residential, scholastic, and religious
purposes. So far, so good But China

Missionary Protectors.
Suppose that a pig-tailed convert
steals something. Such things do hap
pen. The police get after him, and he
runs for protection to the mission, which
gives him sanctuary and takes his part
against the native authorities. Why
not, indeed? Is he not a Christian?
And what are the native authorities?
HeaJhens. Of course, the missionary
has no hesitation IN espOusing his side
of the question.
The native authorities can do moth
ing, for in effect the missionary prop
erty is American extra-terri-
torial, in the diplomatic language, and
the United States consul.
Naturally, such happenings cause
widespread popular indignation, and
they had largely to do with the lament
able killings OF missionaries in the Pc
chilli province which marked the out
break of the great Boxer rebellion of
1900. And in that affair, by the way,
it is a matter Of history that most of
the sO-called Christian converts went
over to the Boxers and fought on their
side.
Our Horrible" Ideas.
We, in this country, are absurdlv in
the dark about the oriental attitude
toward missionaries. For instance. it
viii surprise most people TO learn that,
to the Chinese, the notion of a woman's
accompanying a man las many mission
aries wives do for the purpose Of
spreading religion is nothing short of
horrible. It Is contrary to all their
ideas Of propTietY and even of decency.
For in China women are excluded from
all affairs relating to the administration
of worship. They are even excluded
from the temples, save within restricted
areas.
Another very serious difficulty in the
way Of successful missionary work in
China lies in the differences of Christian
creeds. In which of these am I to be-
lieve?" asks the hOped-fOr convert. He
finds, too often, that each mission sta
tiOn Is disposed to discredit the teach
ings of other stations, representing diff
ferent sects. in the neighbOrhOOd. and
commonly he confers his patronage, as a
convert, upon the mission which gives

called ms gastronomic aspect makes a
strong appeal TO popular interest. For
tunately, in these days missionaries,
though often murdered, are very rarely
eaten. 1t Is, Of course, none of our bust
ness whether British missionaries are
eaten or not; but, if such a thing hap
pens to one OF our own people, a war
ship is likely to be sent to inquire about
the circumstances and perhaps to demand
redress If an American missionary
were eaten in British New Guinea, our
state department would promptly enter
into correspondence with the British
government on the subject
Our government in the Philippines is
still substantially a military govern
ment, and the war department has been
rather inclined to discourage missionary
activity in the archipelago. There IS.
however, an Episcopal mission in Bon
toe lin the mountain province of LuzOn)
and Belgian Catholic mission is doing
a great deal for the IgOrOtes. Ready
as they are to risk their lives, the mis-
slOnarles have not ventuTed to try to
evangelize the MOhammedan AfOrOs, who,
by reason of their ferOcity and intense
hatred of all Christians, present a pretty
hopeless proposition. Under the old
MOrOs, bribing them by giving them
employment and personal protection, but
the only substantial effect seemed to be
that the converts took to eating pork
and drinking whisky.
Missionaries Troubles.
Nearly so percent of the letters re
celved at the consular bureau of the
state department relates to missionaries
troubles. They address all sorts of
complaints to the department, most of
them OF more or less trivial character.
Thus, Tor example, there was a mission
airy at Seoul (KOrea) who started the
business Of making and selling spinning
wheels. A native Korean set up a rival
spinning wheel factory, and the mission
ary wanted our government to compel
the opposition to cease. on the ground
that the money obtained from the sale
OF the wheels was sOrelv needed for the
saving of souls in that benighted land.
In another instance a water bullock
rOamed into a mission station on the
outskirts Of Bangkok, in Siam, and
knocked down a statuette of the Ma
donna, worth about $40. The mission
ary appealed for redress to the nearest
American consul, and, nothing being
done, he wrote to the state department,
charging the consul with neglect of dUty.

tuberculosis in Rural Districts
By Philip Jacobs Secretary Association for
the Study Prevention O. tuberculosis

IN he average person interested IN
the prevention OF tuberculosis
thinks Of this disease as pecu-
uarly one OF the large cities
closely associated with the evils Of
congestion or population. and crowded
or dark tenement house rooms. And
II IS true, alas, that tuberculosis does
Dreed and thrive very readily in the
large urban center Of population.
But, in the light Of recent studies,
We are now beginning to recognize
that there is another breeding place
furnishing Just as fertile soil as the
city tenement, and producing an equal
" great harvest Of COnsumptive vic
tins. This field is none other than
the country farmhouse, blessed per
cnance by an abundance Of free fresh.
circulating air, but cursed too often by
ness.
nu-Iuberculosis association in Dunn
county and also those made in Ger
many by Dr. Jacob show clearly that
TO the average inhabitant Of rural
comm nlLles. tuberculosis is just about
as serious menace as IT is to the city
dweller. To the many Isolated farm
houses, or tiny hamlets sequestered
away from the main roads OF travel
the knowledge that tuberculosis is a
dangerous, infectious and preYentabIe
disease has not yet penetrated. Here

norance Of the danger which he is
spreading The house becomes infested
and infected with countless hordes OF
the tuberculosis germs and one after
another, the stalWart sons and daught-

away, slaughtered by ignorance.
This ignorance together with bad
housing conditions, careless personal
ma ~, aid ne vices and neglect Of
the farmers tranUnit tuberculosis from
generation to generation, and keep
the death rate up to 'the urban one.
From the studies madsEin Wisconsin

We found that the use Of ehIoroform

eXhausting Of the nerves by long con
tinued eIerions on the part Of athletes
and their heavy eating might account
for their wasting away and dying with
tuberculosis, usually in middle life.
We found that by irritating these
sores by drawing strings through them
after chlorofOrming the animal and irri-
tating them each day we could produce

would produce cancer, which shows them

produce tuberculosis both IN the walls

the most food and presents. Thus there
has grown up a very deplorable system
under which the missions in any given
locality bid against one another, the sta
ton that distributes the most gifts get
ting the greatest number of converts.
The "Rice" Christians.
1t would be a mistake to suppose that
such a situation of affairs is general.
But 1t does come about, and inevitably,
IN some districts. The term rice
Christians applied IN derisiOn bv the
Chinese to converts of the kind described,
is most happily appropriate. It is not
uncommon for a convert to be baptized
three or four times IN as many different
missions for no other purpose than to
obtain the money OF other gifts bestowed
on such occasions. From 81 to SIS is
given ordinarily.
In Japan there Is not much trouble
Of the kind There are comparatively
few Christian missionaries in that coun-
try, and the people are more civilized.
The Turkish dOminiOns, on the other
hand, are always a storm center for
missionaries. Every now and then some
of them are killed, OF their property IS
destroyed, requiring interference BY our
department Of state and the polite
presentation of claims for indemnity
through diplomatic channels. If polite
ness IdLs TO Work las is likely to hap
pen), a Warship IS sent to back up a firm
demand. Thus, IN a recent instance, it
took more than SIX years to secure from
the Porte a settlement of $4,000 for the
burning of mission buildings near Smyr-
ma.
Missionaries in Africa.
In many parts of Africa missionaries
have been the advance agents Of civiliza-
ton. In some ways they have done a
great deal of good, but converts as an
almost invaTiable rule have shown a dis
position to abandon work and devote
their time to lOafing about the mission
stations. Such has been notably the
case IN the German possessions in East
Africa and Southwestern Africa. Bitter
complaint is made that missionary in
fluence is so powerful in Berlin that no
cIVll official IN German colonies can hold
his Job lie missionary complains of him.
In such a case he is Immediately trans
terred- This, 1t is urged, is not con-
ducive TO successful administration.
A like state of affairs is said TO exist
IN New GuInea-the part of it, that is to
say, that belongs to Germany. This
great island is divided into three parts
owned respectively by Germany, Great
Britain and Holland. It is the abode of
the fercest and blacklist savages in the
world - extremely treacherOus and
strongly inclined to cannibalism. Not
long ago they ate two British mission
aries who were caught off their guard
and captured, to be promptly consigned
