Vincent L. Tissera recently. I am from Ceylon are! know what the horrors of a famine resulting from drought are. Ten or 12 years ago the Ceylonese were the victims of a comparatively mild water fumine, but the Buffering I witnessed then wrung my heart and I can see jus plain cs though I were in the country the agony of the starving Hindoos. The British papers have not given the truth in its pitiful completeness, and even though they did all in their power toaileviate the pres- ent distress thousands must die of Russia's proffered aid was refused by the English for political reasons. John Bull wants nothing done that will augment the kindly feelings of the Hindoos for the Russians. There are 200,000,000 people and nearly all of them are vegetarians. They believe it a tin to kill an animal and the result is easily seen. No vegetation on which they can subsist can escape the drought, and pathetically sincere in their belief of the teachings of Buddha, the poor, w ill starve rather than ignorant prove unfaithful to thus tenet of their religion and eat the flesh of animals. "America has fqxmt millions of dollars in sending and maintaining missionaries in India and 1, as a Christian, am thankful for it, but now is the time when the Americans, and the churches csHcially, can show that, the love and charity they have preached so many yeans to 1113' countrymen are not merely subjects of discourse but real conditions. Aid from America would do more for the conversion of those people than all the preaching that has been done in all the. years since missions were first established in India. It is a charity the ignorant could understand and I know ami (iod knows how woefully they are in of it now. A car load of husks would be received with the joy of a people who have living on roots that th drought has spared. Millions of people have no other food and knowing the likely results of such diet they still must eat. Leprosy is the outcome in many cases, but what w ill not a starving man do? Think of your own arctic explorers who resorted to cannibalism. But leprosy, though the most dreaded disease! and a common one in India, is not the most prevalent or fatal of the ills that come from root diet and impure water. A plague called in the native tongue liurbonic fever, something like yellow fever, carries off thousands. I hear daily that it Las begun its ravages to add to the horror of starvation and xverty. One day 800 died of it, but it luus not begun to do its worst yet. Mr. Tissera is a Ceylonese. At the time, of the world's fair he came to America in charge of the agricultural products of Ceylon. Obtaining a three mont hs leave from the railway by which he was employed at home that he might visit further the country with which he was fast becoming impressed lie traveled nil over the union. That decided him and he resolved to make America his Inline. He is the first of his nationality to go into business in this city. Beside his native tongue, he speaks Portuguese.

St. Paul Pioneer Press. . - In TO SAY TO Yc So U Antiseptic Qnalltles in Coins. It is a fact that paper money is liable to transfer bacteria from one person to another, anil thus to spread contagious diseases. It is also supposed that coins, which are more in circulation than notes, might similarly act as agents for spreading disease, and investigations in that direction were made at the Vienna university when Austria changed its currency to the gold basis. A report about his observations was recently published by Dr. Vincent in the Vienna Medical Gazette, in which he states that metals act, so to speak, as antiseptics in regard to bacteria, or microbes, the fact being that these miscroseopic organisms have but a very short lease of life while on metals. The destroying influences of metals increase with their temperature, and also with the close touch of the w ith the metal. At a to 100 degrees Fahren95 of temperature heit, which is common in the pockets where money is carried, the destruction of microbes occurs within three hours. for coins are The various metals somewhat different in this respect, silver being the most antiseptic and gold the least.

She remained here a year, and was just about to enter a womans college when she received word that her father had betrothed her to a man whom she had never seen. Cnder the consular regulations she was forced to return to her home, foregoing her education, to marry this man. Miss Hartford, one of v the principal workers in the mission, w ho was here on a visit, accompanied her on her return. On the aame ship with them was Li Ilun Chang and his suite. The viceroy noticed the Chinese girl, and sent his secretary, Lord Li, to inquire about her. A day or two later he sent word ha would like to talk w ith Marguerite and Miss Hartford. They went to see him and told him the story of the girls attempt to obtain an education. The viceroy was much pleased with his countrywoman and seemed to take a great interest in her. He told her and Miss Hartford about the womans congress, which is to be held in London in 1898, and said that he wanted the women of China to be represented at the congress. After a little talk he told Marguerite that he would appoint her to represent China and its women at the congress. He. then asked Miss Hartford if she did not know of some other woman in China that was qualified to be a delegate to the eougress. Miss Hartford at once recommended to him Dr. Hu King Eng, the first Chinese woman to study medicine. Some years ago she left China to come to America, and after a course in the womans medical school at Philadelphia she received her degree.
