Surgery Popular In Congo.

Surgical operations are becoming
popular among the natives Of the Bel
gian Congo. who are flocking 10 the
mission hospital In such numbers that
all the beds are occupied and many
sleep outside waiting their turn. DIR.
Judson C. King the Baptist medical
missionary, has started a school for
the training OF hospital assistants and
considerable progress is being made In
the medical education of the natives.
"A few years ago." said Doctor King.
''the natives of the Congo could not
understand me when tried to isolate
the different contagious diseases. They
thought such an act cruel, and they
paid the price. Now, teaching, and
consequent observation, has so i'm
pressed them that they at once iso-
late certain diseases and so prevent
epldemlcs. They are also bringing the
cases to us before they have gone so
far that they are hopeless"

HAVE MADE GLORIOUS NAME
Msn Of the Merchant Marine of Great
Britain and Of America Always
Quietly Heroic.

The merchant marine has always
fed the navy. In Great Britain and in
the United States, because the saa-
or's trade differs from that Of the sol
dler In this respect: AS soon as you
drop the harbor lights you are always
In danger and this is what gives sea-
faring men their fine, liberal views

the comitadji and the bandit as dis
tinctly disreputab1e members OF so
ciety--a race to be stamped out and
utterly disapproved. The sailor re-
CARDS the pirate, the smuggler. and
the gunrunner, not with approval, but
he appreciates the perils of the call
ing. Merchant ships went armed as
rlatter OF course long after a parallel
state of affairs had ceased on land.
and to this day the master of a mer-
chant ship has arms In his stateroom
with the right TO use them In his
sound discretion. He is monarch of
all he surveys, and has much more
than the modern monarch's responsi-
bilities. When crisis comes to you
at sea, you cannot go and talk TO
friend In the next street about IL:
you must meet 1t there and then. for
there is no room on board ship for
indecisions. Squalls, tempests, the
public enemy, are Just the same for
the steamship as for the square-rigger
or the shaTp-nosed schooner; they are
TO be conquered, and Immediately.
The merchant marine of the English
speaking peoples has never been false
to Its training and tradition; and
whether It be Fryatt that plays the
hero and makes no fuss about It, or
Kinnier that takes his ship through
Nelson strait and out past the Isle of
Desolation, while the pursuing Ger
man prudently stays behind and sends
wireless dispatches Of his success, the

Caued Grizzlies.

Experience in many ZOOS has shown
that subjecting Gagged grizzlies to close
contact with people is usually cruelty
to the animals. Often they become
cross, and number of crowd-worried
grizzlies have died prematurely from
resultant apoplexy. Modern zoo bear
pens are constructed so that the bear
is beyond the wiles of visitors-so that
he can have much privacy--one Of the
needs Of any grizzly Perhaps we too
often think of the bulky grizzly as be-
ing coarse and rude. But he is an ami
NAL of the highest type, sensitive. in
dependent and retiring. The normal
bear is good tempered and cheerful.

man the Malay race has produced.
Rial, who spoke seven languages
and was a cultured and much travelled
man Con one occasion he travelled
across the United States), earned the
enmity Of Spanish governors in the
Philippines by protesting against the
oppression of the Filipino people As
boy he had witnessed scenes that
sent shafts OF grief into his poet

to the liberation of his 'land adored T"
At the risk of his life, and at the
sacrifice Of his career, friends and
loved ones. he became the spokesman
for the stified grievances of the voice
less multitude, and thus became "the
living indictment OF Spain's wretched
colonial system"
Rial could have saved his life, as
be had been warned by friends not to
return to the islands. He could not
be dissuaded. but before returning to
Manila left a letter with a friend in
Hongkong to be opened after his
death. in which he wrote: "Gladly do
