His apartment was a veritable museum in of relies associated with suicide, and he loved to plan Mew ways by which a man might ead his own life. No one knew so well as he the advantag- es of one means over another--the ef- fects of the different poisons, the sur- est place to send a fatal bullet. All the most comiortable ways of death were known to him. And _ yet he chose to go over the great : cataract. He engaged a cabman to drive him about the Niagara reservation, and when they reached Goat Island bridge he told the driver be would walk to to get a better view of the rapids. Reaching the centre of the bridge, he shouted "Good-bye," and leaped over the railing. There are many recent examples of the sheer power of the Falls to direct- ly incite persons to suicide.

READY FOR HARVEST MISSIONARY WORK HAS BEEN WELL DONE. . Rev. Geo. E. Hartwell Tells Story of the Progress Made in Field Where He is Engaged. The Rev. George E. Hartwell, writ- ing from Peahsien, gives some ac- count of his journey to Shanghai in the autumn of 1907, to accompany his family that far on their way to Can- ada, and then of his return jousney in charge of a large party of mission aries on their way up * the Yangise river. Speaking of the work on his ex- tensive field, he writes : "During my absence native evange- lists had charge of the work in the northern district while Mr. Stewart kept in touch. It was a pleasure to see how well the work had been done. The quiet influence of the gospel, like the seed in the ground, is preparing the way for a harvest, an awakening that will come as a surprise even to the missionaries. On every side little incidents are occurring that are as rivalets bursting forth to form that river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God. For example, only last Saturday at Heh-O-tsy, at the close of the morning service, an inquirer about to be received as a eatechumen brought in a bundle of old, dusty papers, idols that had been held sacred for many years, and in the presence of the members burned them, while we all sang, 'Praise God From. Whom All Blessings Flow.' Again on Sabbath morning a class of women, who had been organized over a year ago, by Miss Brooks and Miss Hambly, came to be examined. These women had been wosking away for a vear at the booka jeft them, trying to master those puzzling hieroglyphics ~~ Anyone whe qver sleeps | on a "Gold Medal Felt Mat- tress" is sure to speak about it to others. have a oC oe Canad the cleanest and mo king.

While standing on the platiorm | over the water she remarked to the photographer there : "It's a great wonder that more peo- ple do not commit suicide here; the {rapids are so fascinating." Then, while the photographer's attention | was directed to his gallery, she walk- led out on a large rock by the plat- form and plunged Into the whirling current That it is no other power than hyp- notism which lures so many to this dreadful death seems evident from the story told by R. I. Helm, of Phil- adelphia. Mr. Welm and a score of thers were watching the falls from Prospect Point, when a richly gowned young woman who had been seated on one of the benches for some time suddenly arose ana, walking hurriedly to the wall, climbed over and jumped into the rapids. The current at this point runs at express train speed. Notwithstanding the peril, Mr. Heim stepped into the river at the brink of the fall and tried to save the woman. He suceeeded in grasping her hand, but resisted and slipped away from him. She smil- ed as drew her over the awful abyss, On the same day that this happen- {ed the Rev. C. H. Pridgeon, of Can- i nonsburg, Pa., A. M. Fora, of Dos ton, and A. C. Palmer, of San Fran- cisco, were standing by the river's { brink, when a man appeared and ac- costed them.

Then he calmly produced cigar, lit it, slimbed upon the para- pet and turning, looked quietly back at the park. two hackmen rushing toward him from some dis- away, he turned agam and prang, cigar in mouth, into the roar- ing waters. ! Another example of the mental state brought about by sight and rush of the current is the suicide' of an elderly gentleman named Otis White. So enthralled was he by the racing rapids, that he appeared to as pos- sible a spectator as it wert of his own death. He dislodged a larce cake of ice from the bank of the river and, and getting upon it, paddled out into the deadly stream. Then, standing on the cake with arms folded he coolly contemplated the sublime scene about him, and so raced to his death, wav- ing his hand politely to some people he passed the briok.

Recently a Taoist priest came to the town to practise his sor- ceries, pretending he was 'able to wo up to heaven and secure a healing for any one who would give him suflici- ent cash. Now it just happened that the head magistrate of Penhsien had put out proclamations urging the towns in his district to pave their streets and keep them clean for their own health and comfort, and forbid ding priests to with their sorceries. The priest wore a red turban which smacked of Box- erism, and would go off into his trance to visit the king of heaven.
