The Subtle Chinese Intellect.
It has alvvavs struck me that Protestant
1111ssionaries 111 \er give «11.1111 at w:- ight
to the extreme astutcness and subtlety of
a Chinese intellect which has been trained
in dialectics, nor do they seem sulliciently
to appreciate the improbabillties of the
Christian scheme of >111vationas regarded
from tho same point; of view. Early asso»
elations, careful training in its doctrine!
and social influences do not prevent many
professed Christians from freeing them-
selves from tho trummels of this creed.
How, then, is it likely to affect minds
brought up amid a different and antag-
onistic environment? The \ery language
in which its most solemn mysteries are
sought to be conveyed to these subtle
brains is often said to ho barbaronsly in-
adequate to the purpose.
A(.ireck111ytb told in " Inglish as she
is wrote,” would be accepted with some
dilliculty as an article of faith by one 11f
our own students. Is it possible to expect
a better result with translations of due-
trinesof which some of the most- impor‘
tant factors find no equivalent in the
tongue in which it is attempted to render
them? How can tho essence of such f1
doctrinois the incarnation of Christ be
conveyed through such i111pl1rf11ct- chan-
nels to men habituated to tho highest
forms of literary expression? What 1111111111
log are they likely to attach to it? (Iri-
1-11ta1 minds. are wont toratiocinate on all
such subjects with .brutal frankness.
'l‘hcir method of handling this one is bet-
ter left to the imagination. But. iuthc
revolting and shocking doctrines attribut-
cd from time to time in Chinesepamphlets
to Christians one cannot. fail to see that 11

The Managers.
Managers are an ill used race. Thcy
haven bad name, which they do not :11
ways deserve. Considering all things. it
is small wonder that their tempers are oc-
casionally short. 11111.1 wander rather is
“that. they are as good follows as they are.
I remember, in my salad days, asking 1111
actress of some experience what sort of
‘folk, 111a1111gors were to ,deal with. "My
dear," she said i111pressivoly, “they're
angels if you 'ro making money for them
and they’ re the very dcv 11 if you aren't. '
ilowover this may be, thty certainly arel
not, as is so often represented, impervious
to or jealous of rising talent. Likotho
equally maligned race of publishers lindl
editors, they are quite awake to the value'
of a good thing when they find it So
many people dabble with tho stage nowa-
days, with no intention of taking it 11p
seriously, that. no wonder managers .‘ll‘(

Benefit ‘of Gargliug.
A well known physician once said, ‘ If
people would wash out their monthstwo
or three times a day with an antiseptic so-
lution. there would be much less sickness
than there is. " ‘
The most simple of antiseptic solutions
is oarbolic acid and water. There' is a dif-
femnbc in the, strength of carbolic acid
purchased at different places, and you
should always have the druggist tell you
how much acid to use, in a glass of water.
Hold a little of this mixture in thc1 month
three times a day, and all genus of disease
that may be lurking there will be killed.
