At Hankow I had great trouble in getting a man to go about with me. There was a well educated Chinaman, who spoke good English, but he said if he went the peo- ple would call him “a foreigner's dog,” and he evidently did not want to be seen on the strect in my company. 1 confess I don't like it. Even the bables yell at the foreigners in some of these towns. The dogs, who will not molest a strange native, recognize a foreigner by his smell, and rush for him, snapping at his heels, 1 carry a good club and I think that this protects me to a cer- tain extent from both dogs and men. This 18 one of the most rebellious parts of China, and the Chinese here are far different from those you find i+ America. They are big, broad-shouldered fellows, with stronger fea- tures than the men of south China, whence our coolies come. They speak a different language and are more independent in their actions. The better classes all over the em- pire hate the foreigners, and the millions which the viceroy of Hankow is putting into his factories and roiling mills are spent be- cause he hopes by them to make China en- tirely independent of the rest of the world. It was throughowt this Yangtse valley that the great riots of 1891 began, and they ex- tended from here all over the empire. They resulted in the massacre of hundreds upon hundreds of native Christians, and for a time all sorts of forelgners feared for their lives. At Wusueh one of the English customs off cers and a Methodist missionary were killed by the mob and foreign property was burned and looted at a dozen different stations along the river. Today an intense dislike to for- eigners prevails among the literary and offi- clal clgsses of the empire. # CALL 1T HOG WORSHIP. They look upon us as savages and boors. and they would if they dared sweep us from the country today. It is from them that the stories come as to the wickedness of the Europeans. They distribute books full of all 80rts of lies about the mis:lonaries, and the chief cause of every riot comes from such publications. Just before the Tientsin massacre a pamphlet was tssued charging the foreigners with stealing Chine:e bables and cutting them up for medicine, and the same, stories were printed and shipped over the empire by the million during the riots of three years ago. At this time there were published colored prints, under the title of the *Devil's Pic- ture Gallery.” These represented in the vilest of scenes the alleged practices and institutions of the religion. of the foreigners. 1 bave secured a set of these prints, and they lle before me as I write. I have also pro- cured al translation of the Chinese characters which surround them and which so explain the pletures that the most ignorant China- man can see just what they mean. The word for hog and Jesus are pronounced al- most the same in Chinese and the Christian religion is called here thé worship of the hog. Among the pictures are cuts of hogs, labeled Jesus, hanging to. crovses, with Chinese men and women kneeling before them and other men and women . going through the most obscene and licentious performances in the background. One of the hogs so hung 1s filled with arrows, which Chinese soldiers are shooting into him, and a mandarin is directing the attack. The' forelgners are represented in these pic- tures by goats, the words or characters repre- senting the two being practically the saine, and one of the cuts is entitled “Slaughter the Pigs and the Goats.” Some cuts repre- sent the slaughter going on, and others in- clte ‘the 'Seople to rise against the “hog sect,” a# they call us. The pictures state that the Christian religion is a worship of lust and the pigs and goats are painted with green heads, which in Chinese typifies this. Many of the paintings could not be described, much less \llustrated, in any respectable newapaper, and the whole Is Incendlary in the extreme. Many of the common people belleve the stories. They look upon us as demons, Who @re possessed of witcheraft po and backed, as some of the publica- tions are, by extracts from public govern- ment documents, they receive full credit, ~uROBBED OF THEIR EYES. In the blue books of China, for instance, yowfind: how the foreigners scoop out the eyes of Chinamen for medicine or to grind up to make photographic materials. The Chines have eyes which are invariably black. They. think that their eyes have different quaiities from ours, and that we are always seekling to get them. In one of these prints, which 1 have, two bloodthirsty villains in foreigm clothes are cutting out the eyes of a dead Chinaman, while another forelgner Is gloating over a saucer full of eyes, which he has just captured. The blue books of China say that the Christians shroud the dead that they may hide this scooping out of the eyes, and from my translation of “The Death Blow to Corrupt Doctrines" I copy the fol- lowin, “In case of funerals the religious teachers of the Christian sect efect all the relatives and friends from the house and the corpse 18_put into the coffin with closed doors. Both eyes are secretly taken out and the orifice sealed up with plaster. They call this the sealing of the eyes for the western urney. * e The reason for extracting es (s (his: From 100 pounds of Chineso lead can be extracted eight pounds of silver and the remaining ninety-two pounds can be sold at the original cost. But the only way to obtain this silver is by compounding the lead with the eyes of a Chinaman. The eyes of foreigners are of no use for this purpose. Hence, they do not take out those of their own people, but only those of Chinese.” The writer here goes on to speak of the use of Chinese eyes 88 photographic material and ho shows that ake thieke pyos spread over the surface In a way take maglc pictures, which the Christians priz Further on in the work there Is an extract from the public records, showing how a Chinese scholar cheated a miss'onary and saved his eyes. I copy the extract ver- batim: “In the relgn of the Emperor Wan Lie forelguer named Pa-Ta-Li came into Che- kiaog and . began 10 Rersuade . men 1o lain the Christlan wect, Bumbers were l ensnared by him. Now, there was a_cer- tain military undergraduate named Wang Wen-Mu, an athlete, who, hearing that when any one who joined this sect died they secretly took out his eyes, had a desire to | test the matter. So for some days he ate nothing, and word was sent to the priest that he was about to die. The priest came, and, sure cnough, he had a little knife in his hand. Coming forward, he was about to cut out Wang's eyes, when he, springing | up suddenly, beat him and drove him out of his house, and cut oft his head and de- stroyed his Image of Jesus When this affair came to be known In the capital the | emperor rewarded him liberally.” HOW RIOTS ORIGINATE.

These books, which have b clr- culated by the million all over China, that the brains of Chinese bables are very valuable to us, and a part of the recent riots at Wuhu were caused by two mis- sionary nuns calling me children into one of thelr houses. Thelr parents had an infectious disease and the nuns wanted to protect the children from it. A relative of one of the children tried to take them away, but the children would not go, and e roused the people, telling them the nuns were going to Kill the children and use thelr eyes for medicine. In a short time a mob of 000 infurjated Chin was collected. The nuns were arrested and the buildings of the missiol fes burned. After the riot was over a placard in Chins was put up by the rioters inciting the people to more bloodshed. 1 visited the town yesterday. It is a dirty Chinese city lying on the banks of the Yangtse and is now comparatively peaceful. The m jon Luild have been rebuilt, The p rd 1 of is quite but a part of it as follows @ country Is betrayed and the people are ruined. Human beings are trampled down and reduced to dust. Lately the Christians are building churches In every portion of this city. Every convert is patd a monthly sum of $6, and it is by such means that ignorant males and females are led to enter churches where men and women congre, together without _discrimination, women are procured from other places and are paid to abduct children, whose eyes and intestines are taken out and whose hearts and kidneys are cut off. What crimes have these little children done that they should suffer these terrible deaths?” The procla- mation then goes on to state how the chil- dren were being smuggled away, and cites a_number of instances of Chinese bables which have disappeared through the magic of the foreigners. It states that a year ago a woman by the name of Shen had a i- year-old child lying in a cradle, when “it was taken away in the twinkling of an eye, cradle and all, without leaving the slightest trace.” It speaks of underground cells where the devilish forelgners hide the ba- bies, and closes by calling upon the people to rise and drive out the barbarian thieves. GUNBOAT'S' ELECTRICAL EFFECT. The riots of 1891 were general. They ex- tended all over the empire and proclama- tions inciting the people to drive out the foreigners were everywhere put up. Dates were fixed upon again and again for a mas- sacre, and the Hunanites, among other threats, sald they would butcher the Chris- tlans, foreign and native, and slice them into pleces, and weighing divide them among the people for a cannibal feast. These Hu- nanites are the best soldiers of the empire. They come from an immense province south of here and are the most flerce of all of the Chinese. They form to a large extent (he great secret society known as the Koloa Hul, and they have their organization every- where. They are especially strong at Nan- king, and from that point the working of the rioters seemed to be directed. There is no doubt but that the educated classes of the Chinese incite these troubles. They say they come from the people, and they cannot control them, but this is evidently false. At Hankow the viceroy or governor of the state, who lives in the big capital city of Wuchang, just across the river, said he could do nothing, and thousands of Chi- nese students who were there to attend the examinations collected on the walls of the city to watch the people massacre the for- cigners. At this time, however, an English gunboat appeared on the scene. Its com- mander sent his compliments to the gov- ernor, saying it was unfortunate that he could not control his people, for at the first outbreak he would have to shell the city. The messenger then went on as follows: “The commander would regret this very much, as his guns are pointed just in the line of your excellency's palace, and they will. probably destroy it.” It was wonder- ful: how quickly Wuchang became qulet. Runners were sent out by the hundreds from the palace that night to all parts of the town, and one of the most rebellious cities became the most respectful and quiet. The tracts against the Christians and the books and pictures which I have described are gotten up by the scholars of the empire. One book s called “Death to the Devil's Religlon,” and eight men alone subscribed to 800,000 of these and scattered them over the empire. Boatloads of these books were carried through the provinces near here and the pawnbrokers and booksellers aided in getting them to the people. Doggerel songs against the Christians are written and taught to the children in some of the cities, and you hear their cries of derision hurled at you everywhére you go. INCITED BY VILE PICTURES. These pictures, of which I have already written, paint not only the Christians on carth, but they show their fate after death. In one all the horrors of the Buddhist hell are called to bear upon them. A hog labeled Jesus s being sawed in two by two devils, and other devils are tormenting the foreign- ers. One picture shows how the foreign books should be burned, and there is a great fire, with Chinese coolies bringing stacks of volumes and throwing them into the fire, In the background are foreigners tled to crosses and Chinamien tormenting them. . On the ground lie ether foreigners, held by China- men, while other Celestials' pour down their throats, through funnels, the vilest of slops. This print is labeled the beating of the devils and the burning of the books, and the Chi- nese characters on the margins read: “The depraved religion of the hog is propagated from foreign lands. Its followers insult heaven and extirpate ancestors. Ten thou- sand arrows and a thousand swords will not explate their crimes. Their magical books stink like ding, Let them be burned and let —— be poured down the throats of the devils.” Another cartoon ‘states that it is hateful that the name of Jesus should descend to a thousand generations, and it describes how. the bellevers should be treated above. It states that all Chinese bellevers' should be forced to drink slops and to defile the picture of a cross placed before them. Another shows how, children are mutilated for the making of forelgn medicines, and a third contains a picture of a nude Chinese woman tied down In a chair, while two villainous- looking Englishmen are cutting slice: out of her for use in the manufacture of thetr devil- {sh potions. Another shows a woman so tled, with her breasts cut off, and the Chi- nese script states that the forelgners catch Chinese girls and cut off their nipples and breasts. There are in all thirty-two of these vile sheets. They are each about twice the slze of & sheet of commercial note and are printed in half a dozen different colors. The work is fairly good, from a Chinese stand- polnt, though it would be considered very bad in any European country. I can't describe the effect such things have on the lower classes of tue Chinese. They despise us as a nation, and they believe all such reports as these. The misslonaries work among them under the greatest of dis- dvantages and they really do a vast deal of good. No one, however, can appreclate the awful difficulties they have to contend with, and the lies which they have to refute at every step. If it were not for the literatl and scholars they could make more headway. As it is, T find their churches in every city 1 have visited, and I have seen a number of misslon schools. In all of the points where the riots occurred they were for months in danger of their lives, and the man who thinks that preaching the gospel to the heathen Chinee Is a sinecure s yery much mistaken.

It was a year of depression in that particular business which will ever be remembered as one of complete stagnation. Literally no business was done at either end. Lenders stopped and borrowers were forced to quit rowing. Though unable to borrow, the farmers pald off both interest and principal out of current earnings, a thing which many railroads were unable to do. But there has come a change in the situation. Investors are reallzing that these investments are more desirable than most other offerings, and they are now quite freely patronizing the western any of these latter have loan companies, sold more loans during the first four months of 1594 than they did during the entire year of 1 Several factors are at work effecting the change in sentiment, and not the least in importance Is the knowledge that so many rerged from the panic with clean records. There dre today some of the rongest companies in the farm mortgage n fleld that can be found in any line of iness. This fact and the individual rec- ords made by the companies has a good effect upon the minds of investors. THE MARGIN OF SECURITY. To the populists we are indebted for the compllation by the United States govern ment of statistics as to the mortgage debt of the entire ccuntry. It was due to thelr continual wail that the farmer was burdened beyond his power of self-relief with a load of mortgage indebtedness, that congress finally decided to make a thorough investiga- tion of the matter. In 1889 congress ordered a special census to be made of the mortgage indebtedness, and appropriated $1,000,000 for the purpose. Of course the desire, though perhaps not the expectation, of the populists who had made so much nofse, was to prove that the farmer was indebted to the eastern investor to such an extent as to make the farmer hopelessly insolvent. But when the returns of the census takers commenced to show a condition exactly the reverse of their allegations these calamity criers claimed that the figures were doctored. Fortunately, though, the work of the compilers was capa- ble of being proven correct, and it was so proven by corroborative 1esults from other sources. There is then every reason to ac- cept unhesitatingly as true the figures here- inafter used, as they are taken from the census reports for 1890. The situation, as brought out by the cen- sus statistics, is, briefly, this: There are over 4,600,000 of farms in the United States, and they average 137 acres each; 80 per cent of all, except the southern farms, are owned by the people who live upon and cultivate the land, and less than one-half of them are mortgaged. The farms which are not free of debt are mortgaged for less than 50 per cent of their real value, 'This is the point which interests the lender. He is desirous of knowing the value of nis security, and in view of the fact that before the census figures were obtained it was stated that the farms were mortgaged for more than their value, the following deductions are impor- tant: The total debt on all acres and lots i8 but 16.67 per cent of the total value of all acres and lots. That, of course, gives no clew to individual security, but it may be further stated that the average value of farms owned is $3190, and the average mortgage on same is $1,130. These latter figures completely disprove the great point made in 1889 by Farmers alllance lecturers that the debt exceeded in amount the se- curity. They prove that there is, in the aggregate, a splendid margin of equity be- tween the amount of the mortgage and the real value of the property. THE ESSENTIAL POINT. But while the above facts prove the sta- bility of farm mortgages in general, it is no assurance to the investor that his individual loan is as good as the average. Experience teaches that no matter how good may be the ninety-nine lcans held by other inve tcrs, the 100th loan, it a bad one, will cause just as much loss to the owner as if the entire 100 were bad. It is evident, then, that safety does not necessarily exist in a favor- able average. ‘Where, then, must the in- vestor look for safety? The men who man- age and make the loan companies are the most important elements of security, be- cause their judgment in placing only good loans has been tested and proven true, But there are, of course, other elements to be considered. No men are infallible and all are liable to be mistaken. It follows, then, that besides choosing reliable companies to deal with, the investor must give some at- tention to other matters, such, for instance, as the record made by the territory wherein the loans are as to the nonfailure of crops, whether improved or unimproved property, the habits and prospects of the borrower, ete. RESULTS TO INVESTORS IN WESTERN LOANS. The past year was a crucial one for In- vestments of all kinds, and It is a safe es- timate to say that 99 per cent of all except real estate loan securities shrank. consider- ably in market value. The annual reports of insurance companies prove this, for there are very few of their stocks and, bonds which have not been marked down in mar- ket value. And what is true of insurance companles s equally true when ‘applied to small Investors, except that the. circum- stances are aggravated on account of the latter's small holdings. Those who bought Cordage, Reading, Atchison, Starch and hosts of other stocks when prices were high, and who do not, as insurance companies do, have a large assortment of better secupities amongst which to divide the losses, find that at least 75 per cent, If not all, their capital has gone. On the other hand, the face value of real estate mortgages has not changed nor has the interest defaulted. It 18 true that some of the large so-called west- ern loan companies have failed' and . that lo:ses have thereby been entalled wpon in- vestors, But these concerns owe their downfall to causes other than poor western farm loans. Of course the loss to the in- vestor Is just as hard no matter what the cause, consequently it {8 a matter of con- gratulation on all sides that the two larger ones are about to resume business and save the Investor from loss. The western loan business must not, however, be charged with the faflures, for the investor who se- lected his company from tho:e who confine their loans to the legitimate lines of such concerns has recelved his interest just as promptly in 1863 as in any other year, and his principal has not been scaled down a cent. The holder of other stocks and bonds who can say the same is a curlosity. J. HENRY WOOD, companies have DeWitt's Witch Hazel srmbrrefes JEWELS HIDDEN LONG AGO.

CONNUBIALITIES: Cards have been issued for the marriage of Miss Edith Cruger Sands to Mr. T. J. Oakley Rhinelander, to take place June 6 in_ Trinity chapel, New York. Mr. Slimpurse—But why do you Insist that our daughter should marry a man whom she does not like? You married for love, didn’t you? Mrs.Climpurse—Yes; but that Is no reason why I should let our daughter make the same blunder. The engagement is announced of Kenneth Frasier, a young Philadelphja artist, and Miss Julia Rogers, daughter of Wil Rogers and granddaughter of the late Ha ilton Fish. Miss Rogers is herself an artist, and has painted several excellent oil por- traits, She—This narrow band' of gold is very sweet, of course, but you—you said you in- tended to bring me a cluster diamond ring. He—Y-e-s, but afterward it occurred o me that such a ring would hide those lovely dimples in your fingers. She—Oh, you darling! “I am opposed to the word ‘obey’ in the marriage service,” said a strong-minded young woman. “It is an outrage; it is—" “Oh, it does mo harm,” interrupted the married woman languidly. “No one ever pays any attention to it, you know, and it tickles the vanity of man.” Kokomo, Ind., Is the home of a preacher who easily holds the championship of the state, If not the nation, in the number of marriages solemnized. This famous preacher, Rev. Hayden Rayburn, is 82 years of age, and during his sixty years in the ministry has united 1,200 couples, as is shown by a carefully kept record of the transactions. Edward Gay White, a turf writer on the Chicago Inter Ocean, eloped one night last week, from Richmond, Va., with Miss Addie Virginia Johnson, a handsome and talented young society lady ot Washington, and the couple were ‘yesterday married In Washing- ton.

Chiris, daughter of the senator of the Alpas- Maritimes department, is announced in “Le Courrier des Etats-Unis,” the French organ in America.. It adds that President Carnot has two other sons, Sadi, an officer of in- fantry, and Francois, a pupil engineer in the Ecole Centrale at Paris. The flance, Ernest, is 27 years. old, and just returned from a long voyage to both coasts of South America, where ‘he was sent as inspector for the French Steamship company of the essager- fes Maritimes. Among the Lolos of Western China it is customary for the bride on the wedding morning to perch - herself on the highest branch of a large tree, while the elder female members of her family cluster on the lower limbs, armed with sticks. When all are duly stationed the -bridegroom clambers up on the tree, assailed on all sides by blows, pushes and pinches from tho dowagers, and it is not until he has broken through their fence and captured the bride that he is allowed to-carry her oft. One of the very prettiest of the spring weddings in New York was that of Miss Johnson and Mr. Townsend on the 15th ult. A symphony in white and yellow were the bridal toflets, The chief beauty of the bridesmaids’ gowns was in the materials— the softest and finest of white mull, draped over silk, with several insertions of fine Valenciennes crossing each corsage, Irregu- lar fringes of buttercups hung from the soft satin girdles in the back and the Im- mense bouquets were entirely of buttercups, looking as fresh as it just plucked. Clusters of the same flowers and white ostrich plumes trimmed the large white mull hats, The satin, the point lace and the superb dfamond ornaments worn by the bride made a magnificent combination, and one which accorded well with the royal looking canopy under which the newly married couple stood when recelving the congratulations of their friends. e Vg ASTONISHED THE ISLANDERS. Effect of Modern Inventions K: nkas, ‘When one of the Australian squadron was patrolling the South seas lately she came up with a sailing vessel, and one of her offi- cers boarded the stranger, says the Sidney on the Mail. She proved to be a colonial craft engaged in . recruiting Kanakas for the Queensland plantations. On board the naval officers noticed @i phonograph. He was told that before the vessel left Queensland the captain visited some of the sugar plan- tations where South $ea Islanders are em- ployed. He took a.camera and a phono- graph, and then he wwnt into the business of photographing groups of natives on the plantations, also takimg individual pictures of well known natives from the New He- brides and others from the Solomon group. Edison's lnvention was then brought into service, the best knowm of the natives, es- pecially those who have relatives and friends in the islands, being asked-to speak in the phonograph anything they would like to tell their friends, Large numbers of these phonograph letters. were procured, giving accounts of what sorti of life the Kanakas were having on the plantations and other news that would intezcst the “old folks at home' at Mallicollo..

I was able to attend to business with renewed vigor, and from that day to this all that has been re- quired to keep me In perfect health hus been an occasional dose of No, 10."

By the advice of her doct(i§ she gave up housekeeping and came home to die. At least the doc- tors offered no hope, Intimating that noth- ing ¢ould b& done for her. IUs true her stomach was disturbed and she suffered great pain, but it was generally supposed she was stffering from nervous prostration and we nmever suspected that her trouble was Dyspepsia until a friend urged the use of HUMPHREYS' SPECIFIC NO. 10, The effect was almost miraculous, Auntle be- gan to gain at once—the fmprovement con- tinuell stéadfly and rapldly to an entire re- covery, gaining both strength and flesh.” “There is little doubt that nine-tenths of all the ‘suffering attributed to Nervous Prostration 1s due to Dyspepsia, Indigestion and Weak Stomach.
