The public misrepresentations of the spirit and aims of the Christian reli gion and of the objects which animate Christian missionaries in their work are almost Incredible. I have before me a specimen of the posters which are from time to time exhibited throughout the country with a view to bring ndignatlon and contempt upon the 'ioiMigner. It represents our Savior in tho shape of a hog. He is being worshiped by two “foreign devils,” the one marked "teacher,” the other “dis ciple.” These two are branded with the most insulting epithets known to the Chinese vocabulary, notably those indicating lack of sexual virtue. One inscription reads: “This is the beast which the foreign devils follow. The hog’s skin and bristles are still upon him.” Down the left-hand side of the picture and in the middle of the poster are inscriptions which are absolutely too obscene for publication.—Poultney Bigelow, in the North American Re view. A BRITISH TRICK. EoRtUb Troopers Pslnt Their Horses to Deoelve the Boori. The noble steed, viewed as a mod ern war horse, has been compelled, willynilly, to change the color ot his coat. In South Africa, lie 1b painted kharki, so as to be invisible at a dis tance. All kharki Is not et the same color, some being brownish yellow. But its object when used by man is to make him look about the olor of the country which he is traversing. A kharki colored soldier on a black horse would be conspicuous. A kharki colored soldier on a kharki colored horse, traveling over a kharki colored field, becomes invisible at a short dis tance. To produce the kharki colored horses the British soldiers resorted to the simple expedient of painting the animals—an expedient, by the way, which resulted seriously for the.horses, as thousands grew quickly ill—weak ened under the campaign work and died. It is believed that the applica tion of paint to the horses prevented evaporation of the sweat and caused in this way the unprecedented loss ot horseflesh which has marked the British-Boer campaign. Up to the first day of July the English army had con sumed 320,000 horses sad 146,000 mules —the latter beasts surviving where horses perished. The waste of horse flesh goes steadily on, having begun when the Boers captured Lord Rob erts’ great convoy on the way to Bloemfontein. Since then the neces sity for rapid movement, without ade quate transport, has forced an ex travagant amount of work on the horseB, from which no adequate relief has yet been experienced, and the re sult is that hundreds of horses die daily, even now. Bafrlxermtlnf Machines In Mines. One of the unexpected uses of the refrigerating machine is found In min ing. At great depths or at compara tively shallow depths in some mines work on valuable veins of metal or coal has been abandoned because of the heat. But engineers declare that with the use of modern refrigerating apparatus to cool the air it will be possible to go several thousand feet lower in case a rich vein of precious metal or even coal warranted the ad ditional expense. The Most Costly Structure. The most magnificent work of archi tecture is the Taj Mahal, in Agra, Hin dustan, It is octagonal in form, of < pure white marble, inlaid with every sort of precious stone. The work took 22,000 men twenty years to complete, and though there were numerous gifts and the labor was free the cost was ?16,000,000. A STRANQE EPIDEMIC. The Epizootic F«rer Which Pzralyud Baalnezs In St. Lontl In 1871. The recent strike of the street car employes of St Louie, which attracted attention from all Sections of the coun try during the weeks it was in progress and which paralyzed traffic In the city, was, according to an old resident of Missouri’s metropolis, as nothing in its results when compared with an epidemic which attacked horses and mules of the street car companies, the draymen and private parties of the city in the early 70’s. Speaking of the matter, he said: “The epidemic was known as the epizootic fever and it struck St. Louis about ’71. The first to give out were the dray horses and mules; then the hackmen’s stock was affected, and it wasn’t long before one couldn't get a carriage to take him any place for love or money. Then the street car horses fell victims to the disease. Finally the cars stopped run ning because there were no horses to draw them. Business was paralyzed, as there was no way to get freight to and from the levee and depots. Some bright draymen thought of utilizing oxen. There were more ox teams in use in this part of the country then than there are now; there were no Norman horses to do the slow, heavy work, as there are now, and it wasn’t a strange sight to see a man come in from the country driving a double yoke of steers. As soon as the first ox team appeared on the levee hitched to a dray there was a sudden rise in the quotations on oxen. In a few days every drayman who could afford it had bought a yoke of steers and the cars were run by the same means. This method of transportation was continued for several months before the ‘epizootic’ had run its course and horses could again be utilized. All during the epidemic, business men and clerks who lived on the outskirts of the city and who were accustomed to ride to their dally work on the street cars had to remain down town, as a trip home meant the utilizing of the bet ter part of a day in transit.” Professor Holds His Job. Prof. Oliver J. Lodge, of University College, Liverpool, who has been ap pointed to the position of principal of the recently establish university of Birmingham, was born at Penkhull, Stoke-on-Trent, in 1851, and studied at University College, London, where he aifterward became assistant professor of physics. In 1882, on the establish ment of University College, Liverpool, he was appointed professor of physics, and this position he has held ever since.

VhUlit > P> Don't Be Duped > There have been placed upon the market several cheap reprints of an obsolete edition of “ Webster’s Dictionary.” They are being offered under various names at a low price By - dry goods dealers, grocers, agents, etc., and in a few instances as a premium for subscrip tions to papers. _ , Announcements of these comparatively Worthless reprints are very misleading: for instance, they aro advertised to bo the substantial equivalent of a higher-priced book, when in reality, so far as wc know and believe, they , are all, from A to Z, Reprint Dictionaries, phototype copies of a book of over fifty years ago, which in its day was sold for about 15.00, and which was much superior in paper, print, and binding to these imitations, oelng then a work of some merit instead of one Long Since Obsolete. The supplement of 10,000 so-called “new words," which some of these books are adver tised to contain, was compiled by a gentle man who died over forty years ago, and was published before his death. Other minor additions are probably of more or less value. The Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary pub lished by our house is t he only meritorious one of that name familiar to this generation. It contains over 2UJ0 pages, with illustra tions on nearly every page, and bears our imprint on the title page, it is protected by copyright from cheap imitation. valuable as this work is, we have at vast expense published a thoroughly revised successor, known throughout the world as Webster’s International Dictionary.
