There are any quantity of other
phrases not so easily to classify. In
America we can go to market to
cater for the table, here they go
as the case may be to the poulterer,
fruiterer, butcher, green grocer, and
fishmonger. They buy vegetables
unknown to us, such as sea kale,
vegetable marrow, eto., and cakes
like the simnel, Yorkshire parkin,
ormekirks, bunters' nuts, curled
brands snaps, hot cross buns, maids
of honor, and so on indefinitely.
Many of these specialties are wholly
obscure or intentionally misleading
in their names, but what sort of
moral character can you expect in a
people who speak English, but
.never ealt their butter ? Perhaps,
however, their errors are of the
head end not of the heart, and, like
Capt. Corcoran in the old Greek
drama of "Pinafore," they "mean
well but don't know."
Missions and Missionaries.
Rev. Dr, B. G. Wilder has resign-
ed the editorship of The Missionary
Review, and will return to India as
.a missionary without delay.
Miss Lily Lyman, daughter of
Mr, Theodore Lyman, Montreal,
goes to Bombay as a missionary un•
der the American Board of Missions.
A Seminary for the Education of
IYIissionaries among the Jews has
been eetablisbed at Leipzig, under
the personal direction of Professor
Delitzscb, This is the eecond in-
stitution of the hind in the world,
the other being in London.
Missionaries in India who cannot
endure the fierce heat of the warm
;months on the plains are in the
habit of visiting some native semi.
Melina. Thus those in Central In-
•dia go up to Kashmir. The mem-
'bars of the Telugu Mission have re-
•oently secured a retreat at Coonoor,
on the Nirgiri Hills. It is 6,000
feet above the sea and this elevation
makes the air always cool and sweet.
In this way the heavy expense of a
return to America is saved.
Twenty years ago Jacob Schein -
mann, a Palish Jew, came to the
conclusion, through independent
thought, that the Nfessiah, the sun
of David was the true Saviour. For
this ho was transported to Siberia,
where for fifteen years, almost un-
heeded, he labored among his fellow
exiles. He chanced to pick up a
pamphlet by the eminent Rabinow•
itz, with whom be at ones) commun.
icated. Since that time he has been
busy disseminating his views
through pamphlets called "The
Voice of One Crying in the 'Wilder.
nese." Delitzech'e Hebrew trans-
lation of the New Testament Id e]ng'
oily read and studied by the Siher-
50 on O'Connor. Both ; m013 were
polling under the disadvantage of
having only one flag to mark the
0o11rse between the 'start and the
through the crowd to where the tuffs- turn. There was a remarkable
siouary stood, mad, causing the lack of interest in the race and the
beast to kneel demi, asked the mis- , absence of pleasure boats that ns-
slonary to mount it. This he did wallyheat in a great part of the
course iu au exciting aequatio event
did not tend to lessen this dised-
vantage. Consequently Hamas
steering was very faulty. When he
got to within one hundred yards or
to of the turning buoy he was twen-
ty-five yards north of it and had to
row in. O'Connor steered a better
couree and turned the buoy several
boat lengths ahead, of Hamm.
Then followed a very pretty contest
for the next half mile, dnriug which
Hamm continued to gain on O'Con-
nor, After two miles or a little
more of the course had been cover-
ed, Hamm was nearly even with
O'Oonnor, but just after getting out
of his water the Dartmouth oars-
man crossed over and fouled O'Oon-
nor, who had the south side of
the course. O'Connor called foul
and throw up his hand. Kamm
alert threw up his hand, probably to
indicate a fon.. Both men had
stopped rowing. O'Connor started
off again almost immediately, and
was leading by half a dozen lengths
when Hamm commenced to follow.
O'Connor continued to gain, and
confidence in his chances of euoeess
went tip so rapidly that a bet of 100
to 60 in hie favor was made in the
aeferee's boat. 'O'Connor steadily
increased his lead and finished fully
sixteen boat lengths ahead of Hamm
in 20:16 minutes. Hamm did not
continue after O'Connor passed the
vinning point. O'Connor rowed up
beside the referee's boat and called
out "How's that referee ?" to which
Dave Ward replied, "All right."
Nir. Keenan was much dismayed.
over the result of the race. He
said : "Hamm has lost half a dozen
races in just the same way aa he
lest this one." The race was for
$2,000 a gide. When O'Connor
finished the race he was rowing 25
while Hamm was rowing 32 strokes
to the minute. O'Connor has a
fine, long, easy, swinging, steady
stroke, into which he seems to
throw the whole weight of his body.
and from Ins position on the els•
phenl's back sold over 170 portions
of the 'Scriptures—more than he
had done en any other day during
his journey. The driver was 0
Mussulman, but he wanted to see
fair play.
Prof. Drummon, in a missionary
meeting at Northfield, referred to
cant in mission and other entorprie-
es. On being asked by one of the
students what be meant by cant, he
said : "There is such a thing as
the religion of a young man and
there is euoil a thing as the religion
of an old woman. Now, when a
young man talks as if he had an old
woman's religion, that is cant."
The Missionary Review, published
at Princeton, N. J., is perhaps the
beet missionary magazine iu Amer-
ica. Ito founder and editor, Rev.
Dr. R. G. Wilder, wad for many
years a missionary in India and has
an intelligent acquaintance with
mission work in all parts of the
world. Dr. 1Vilder has resigned the
editorship of the Review that he
may spend the little strength and
few yeare left in and for India. His
wife and daughter, both devoted
missionaries, go back to India with
him. Dr. Wilder, although broken
in health, hopes to be able to gather
a native audience in his own house,
help educate native converts, pas-
tors and preachers and do some-
thing in improving and increasing
the Dlarattli literature. He ie a
most devoted, courageous and her•
oto missionary.
Rev, W. H. Murray, a Presbyter-
ian minister in Scotland, has made
a most .important discovery of a
method by which the thousands of
blind people in Chino can readily
learn to read by the use of about
only 400 characters, It is propos-
ed to use these blind readers as Bib-
le readers to the Chinese, to whom
it will be a marvellous thing that
blind beggiars---in China the blind
are always baggers—should become
readers attracting crowds.
The system of study has now
been so -greatly improved as to en-
able our missionaries m China to
make as much progress in acquiring
the Oiliness language in nine
months as they formerly did in fir -
teen, Dr. Milne, speaking of the
difficulty in his day, eaid :—"To ac-
quire the Chinese is a work for men
with bodies of brass, lungs of steel,
heads of oak, hands of spring steel,
eyes of eagles, hearts of apostles,
memories of angels and lives of
Methuselahs." Hudson Taylor,
speaking in Scotland recently, said :
—"The acquisition of the language
is no insuperable obstacle ; among
the many who have gone out to
China I have never known ono,
male or female, who had absolutely
failed iu mastering it, while most of
them have gained a practical ac-
quaintance with it in a compara-
tively short time."
