Outei Hauge is a very celebrated rage of mountains running across the provioce. Many celebrated tem- ples sire on it, including a noted one on Gin Ding, to which many pilgrim- ages are made. It was no: ootid three or tour years ago that foreigners came here for the summer. Sioce then eight cottages have been built, and one is now in course. of construction. They are built in different parts of the mountain, and some are quite a distance apart.' The temple after which this mduntain is named is just below us, about three hundrru feet down. The name -Monkey Moun- tain" is somewhat of a misnomer, as there are no monkeys here, although these are oo the lefty to Gin Din Their are beautiful Rowers here and es it is much higher than the great Chengtu plain which lies below us. the Bowen that had had their season on the plain are still in blossom here. Just now we have three great bou- quets of lilies -the large white wax- like°lilies that grow several feet high in the gardens at home. The hy. drangeas her are beautiful. In Cheng- tu, in June, i saw a great plant with forty blossoms on it -some pink. some blue. and others combining both colors. &lex we came herr. Um mountain people have brought us hyd- rangeas as blue as forret-me-note. It is said that this color is touod where iron is in the soil. The ferns are beau- tiful, too. One lady has s collection of one hundred varieties. One variety is red. and looks es though it is chang- ing its color as do our maple leaves at borne, but on closer examination it is found to be quite fresh. We have had a very cool summer iso far, and up here there hoe been much rain and mist. It is wonderful to have a summer among the• mountains and to watch clouds form above the plain blow and creep up into the ra- vines and up the mountain side until we are entirely cut off from all t.be world.

UIYDtItTAKERP AND LMIRAL.MER$ • • • Jost before leaviogChengtu 1 visited the printing department of our mis- sion and was shown through it by Mr. Weetaway, who explained the work in each department. Mr. Westaway in s young man who came out three Eears ago. He was originally from xeter hut bas bad most of his experi enoe in London. He ha. done well at the language and is good in his methods at the Press. In brief form i will endeavor to give you • his- tory of our Press. Dr. hart, the founder of our mission herr, was not a rinur but foresaw the great need of having a priotioR plant in conoec- Uon with our work, and in 1808 brought up the first machinery. Until 1904 the press was in Hitting. At first the home board did not give any substantial assistance and it was a struggle to keep the work going on. but friends in the field helped sod Dr. Endicott got private subscriptions from friends in Canada. Finally tbe board of missions recognised the im- portance of the work sod in 1it0;i the splendid new building was formally opened. Ours is the only Protestant Press in West China and ben vert important. it prints for Religious Tract Society at Ching -king and under separate cover I am sending samples of the work done. (The bun- dle of samples is very intereeting. Mies Turner's calling card is a slip of paper about 3; z T; inches. red on one side, white on the other. On the red side are three characters, each about three-quarters of an inch quare. Fol- lowing the Chinese custom of reading from the foot of the printing. the first character represents the native word "Chin" -clear, lucid, aec•urate: the next "Nan"-eonrre or fountain : the third, or surname, "Poo Too" - the name of s river. if the translator has not erred. Miss Turner's native name is "Chin Nan Poo -Too." The West China Missionary News is an attractiveforty-page monthly neatly printed on superc•lendered stock And bound in an appropriate cover. Its motto is "in essentials unity, in non- essentisls liberty, in all things char- ity." The work is every whit se good as thet turned out by the aver- age Canadian �mce. One ••f the aaniples is a primer in the Miao langu- age. Formerly these people had no written language. About four year. ago Yr. P»Uarri invented the svetem stow used. and it is saki that a person can learn to read it in half -an -hour.

In speaking about her visit to a pagoda, Miss Tomer rays : A pagoda iserected to guard a city or district from drought. uudue moisture, peso= deuce, etc. 11i' one we explored is. perhaps, typical of them ail. (Brow an aboumpanyiog sketch it appears that a pagoda is a tower -erected tn.tbe centre of a high brick or stone square, or on a .olid square foundation). We commissioned a boy to bring a light. butthe lantern he brought was insnf- ficieut to light the way through the dark passageway ethic," leads to the centre of tbe tiwer, and twice we re- traced our steps. Filially :a heart light was procured and we peesed through the paasagewa-r. The outer wall must be four feet thick, at we could tell by'tbe apertures in it to ad- roit light and air. The stone steps were heautitulty clean and the air fated] and sweet. The eight corner, of the tower above the platform are supported by, grotesque ngurt•±, with inscriptions. r' -e. The walls on the inner side are built of brick and coverer: with mortar ro eros :b ens to give the effect of marble. On each level is a shrine and before it a door- way leading to God's open air. On the revebth level. the 1..t accessible point is leached. Here four passage- ways intersect and in the centre is an image. The current of air bete i., beautifully sweet. We stepped out on the encircling balcony and gaud, as we bad done on the lower levees, on the beauties of mountain, stream and cul- tivated land that lay before us. 1f beauty cf scene could exalt a people surely the people on the upper reaches of the Yangste river should live above the level of ma4y other people. But the beauty of nature alone is insuffici- ent to reveal God to the human hear t and one finds ignorance, superstition and sin here u elsewhere. Accompanying Miss Turner's letter was a map of the city of Chengtu. which in shape resembles en irregular quare. A great wall surrounds the city. .a there are four gates, one on side of the city. which are closed y night. A river for moats encu es the city, bridged Apparently only opposite the four gates. A branch of the river winds across the city. lc - side the great well are two lesser ones. One surrounds the Tartar City. where the Tarter general or ruler liven, and embraces perhaps one-quarter of the arra of the entire city. The other en- closes what was formerly the Imperial City. (-p to 1906 there were in this latter inner city over 16,000 cells in which examinations were written. Thes.ite is now occupied by the Chin- ese normal, commercial and law schools. The compound of the Cana- dian Metbodist missions is in the northeast corner of the city and en- cloee' a hospital with twenty-five beds, boarding school for fifty to sev- enty girl., orphanage for twenty children. women's dibte echool and workers' residence. Immediately ad- joining is the compound of the lan- guage 'reboot home. w here Mies Turner and other students reside.

When it became clear that suf- ficient funds could nuc be raised from the Chioee tat huikf the line. the Government turned once more to the foreign capitalist. wh,, will now loan the money, but only on condition that he furnish the materials and control the actual work of construction. The objection to the r.ulway policy is therefore twofold. There is tba old objection of the general public arain.t the permitting of the foreigner to get the additional grip .ipoo the gawks which the loans will secure for him. and also the deep resentment of the patriotic holden of stork as they learn that their certificates have little or no value, owing to the exteavaganee and l incompetence otthe ofilriale who have been in charge of riilway affairs. A, crisis was re:aehett about three weeks ago. Cheogtu was besieged b 1 a mob and several engagements took place hetween the natives and the sol- i diers. Communication with the city was cut oil for nearly two weeks. The foreigners bad been commanded by the viceroy to concentrate in the larger cities and for a fortnight there was uncertainty as to the where- abouts and welter .• of the misiooaries. A cable dispatch r. ached Toronto last week giving a list of those -who had reached t'hungkint. among the names being that of Mir.. Turner. A later cable stated tbat Cbeogtu had been relieved hy a force from Thibet and that communication with the city was again open. The uprising is directed not so much against the foreigners a. against the native governnneft, and it is hoped that ere long the missionaries will he back at their various stet lone. First to Leave. "ley dear, I was one of the first to leave." said a man wbo, on returning home after an evening's festivities, was greeted reproachfully by his wife. "Ob, yo.t always say that," replied his wife.

TAKEN OUT A Triumph a Chemistry .ad Msrmaeiesuoai Stale Oil from the liver of the cod -fish has been used for ages as a preceptive of disease and a restorative. For a long time it has been the general opinion that the medicinal value of Cod Liver Oil was the greasy, oily part itself -its only drawback being.the unpala- table, mpalatable, fishy taste of the oil. From the first experts have been trying to find means to make it more palatable. They used to "cut" it with whisky -take it in wine -flavor it with lemon ri"cc-- anything to get away from that aboesia able fbsby taste and smell. Lots of people still take it in Emul- sion form, which is nothing more than "churned" oil -broken up -but still greasy, oily and a strain on the digestion. Doctors were slow to find out that the oil was a distinct drawback to the medicinal principles contained in the (rude oil is quite indigestible, and will, in time, put the strongest stomach out of order. A way has now been disoovered to do away with the grease and the smell, and yet retain all the medicinal properties et the, liver. This is done by removing the fresh oil from the new livers. The liver pulp is this reduced to the fortlit el an,extract like beef extract. Myers Cod Liver Compound is ttirap1y this liver extract combined with as es - tract tract of malt and beading wig runty.
