The women who go out as medical missionaries have a hard time of it, ac cording to a writer in the Philadelphia Times, aside from mere Inconveniences arising from living in such a country. In prescribing medicines not only is the fear of a future accusation of pois oning ever present, but the possibility that it may prove to be a reality. Thus a bottle of liniment curing the vener able grandmother of rheumatism may be lent to a neighbor strlckon with small pox as an infallible remedy; or the entire contents of a vial of tooth ache medicine be administered in one dose to a teething infant. Celestial rea gpn that if a small portion Is of any benefit the whole bottleful, taken at once, multiplies its usefulness in a cor responding ratio. Therefore, if not pre viously warned, experience soon teach es the missionary to make it an infal lible rule never to dispense a poison ous remedy or one which could do harm if the entire quality were taken at once. Liniments and toothache drops com pounded of nonpoisonous drugs may not be highly potent, but they are at least harmless. When it is absolutely necessary to administer a powerful remedy several times or for several times in succession the doctor puts each dose up in a separate vial, powder or capsule, and leaving them at the dis pensary with a trained American nurse or other foreign helper, directs that a servant or child of the patient be-sent there for .one every three hours, or three times a day, as the case may require, otherwise it would all be taken at once, or dtvlded among ailing neigh bors. Then the women doctors are obliged to be ever on the alert to keep the na tives from stealing drugs from their medicine chests and so run the risk of being poisoned. Then, too, the curious objection to privacy which prevails in China and makes it unwise for foreign ers, especially doctors, to insist upon it for fear of being regarded with su perstition, makes it necessary to con duct all operations in semi-public man ner and there is always the danger that some of the spectators may object at a critical point in the operation and thus imperil the patient’s life, which would indeed be unfortunate for the poor sur geon. Anaesthetics are regarded with suspicion and seldom used, but the native stolidity to pain makes them al most unnecessary. Altogether the life is not one to bo desired. LOVE AT GREAT ALTITUDE. A I*dj Who Climb* Mount Ronlor Winds Up by Marrying Hsr Guide. Henry Carter, the famous Mount Rainer guide, has fallen in love under romantic circumstances, and will be married by Rev. William M. Jeffries, the first preacher who delivered a ser mon on top of the mountain. There is a possibility that Carter will be married on top of the mountain, the place where he fell in love last Tuesday night, with the thermometer registering 20 degrees below zero. He Is to marry Cora Beach man, a school teacher, and the belle of Lake Park, a suburb of Tacoma, says the Globe-Democrat. Miss Beachman, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Groe of Eatonvllle, set out Tuesday with Carter, the most trusted of all the mountain guides, to ascend Mount Ranier. At Gibraltar rock, which corresponds to the “shoul der" of the Matterhorn, 4,000 feet from the summit, Mrs. Groe became ex hausted. Miss Beachman declared her intention to reach the summit at all hazards. Carter led the way, but soon lost his ice ax, and in scaling difficult passes they were compelled to rely solely on their alpenstocks. They did not reach the summit until 6 p. m., too late to attempt the descent that night. They had left Paradise Valley, below the snow line, without wraps, and only a lemon and one sandwich each in the way of provisions. Carter selected a sheltered ice cave formed by jets of steam from the crater, and there they passed a sleepless night, discussing all sorts of topics, and before they left the summit, at 9 a. m. Wednesday, Misu Beachman had promised to marry the guide. The instant they left the steam of the ice cave their clothes were frozen stiff, and they suffered great hardships in descending. A rescue party organ ized during the day, came to their re lief late in the afternoon, after they had been without food over twenty-four hours. Refused, Then Wee Sorry. The cable was crowded and when a passenger boarded It he was nearly up set by the sudden starting of the grip car and tread on the toe of a man standing at the rear end. “I beg your pardon,” he said, very politely; but the man of the hurt toe scowled and In an undertone muttered curses. The' innocent offender again apolo gized. “Yes, but that don’t help my toe any;” and he growled some more in an undertone. Nearby passengers began to smile. "I begged your pardon, didn’t I?” said the other man. “Yes, but my toes hurts just the same,” was the reply In an ugly tone. Then the other man's dander rose and in very forcible language he said: “Now, look here. I accidentally stepped on your foot and I apologized fpr it. If you say another word about it I will give you this instead of my foot (show ing his doubled list), and it will land right in your face.” This warning was not taken, for he continued to talk about the clumsiness of some people. Suddenly the passen gers were electrified by seeing a fist shoot out, and the growler lay in the street as the car passed on. Nobody ■aid anything, but some thought it wasn’t wise to talk too much.
