Cann, in spector general of rifle practice, under those direction the shoot is to be leid, asking that he name Macon as the place. It is urged by Colonel Hu nienin that Macon is centrally located and should therefore have the shoot. Colonel Cann has not yet replied.

New Year. Miss Parks' dispensary was destroyed in the Boxers' raid, but the missionaries are rebuilding. 'In speaking' of the devastation wrought she writes: '"The compound is a desolate waste of bricks and lumber just at present. Almost every one is ready to begin rebuilding as soon as spring opens. It will take at least two years and perhaps three to rebuild. There are two hospitals,' two schools, the church and five dwell ing houses to replace the former build ings, and in addition our Presbyterian college, which has been at Tingchow. is to be moved here (Weihsien) in or der to be on the new railroad and near the center of the field. "This means college buildings and dormitories for 200 students and houses for the Chinese teachers and three foreign teachers. We have bought a piece of land adjoining the com pound on the west and almost as large as the present compound for college use. When everything is completed and the schools all open, there will be at least 350 students on the place. The Chinese will think that it does not. pay to burn the 'foreign devils' out when they see us coming back so much stron ger than we were before. 'The compound is much more con veniently arranged than it was before, for formerly the. land was secured piece by piece and houses put up room by room as needed. But now we have the land all in one piece. - All the in demnity has been paid over. The board very kindly gave up the use of an architect for two months last fall, and he drew up some excellent plans, so we expect to be quite a respectable village when built. "The railway, which was the begin ning or one of the beginnings oi our troubles, is progressing rapidly, and the people are not opposing it "any lon ger. The embankments are up as far as the city, and rails are soon to be laid, and the construction train will be here by April. It is only a few miles east of here now and the regular train only twenty miles away. "This is a crood time to buv curios. present among the spectators, j The railroad cannot avoid passing over i many graves. That was one of the I causes of trouble. They pay the rela- fives so much for every grave which J has to be moved, and now they say I some people are begging. the road to go ! through their family graveyard, so that j tliey will have an excuse for moving i their graves and incidentally getting the curios hidden away in them. "Mary of the graves near here are very old 400 or 500 years and it wag the custom then more than Jiow-to bury money and val uables with the dead. It is said that some families have got rich from the treasure found- in their ancestral graves. There are number less bronze vases, teacups, water bot ties and old coins. Almost every day some new treasure is unearthed, and a good many of them are brought here to the compound for sale. "It is so good to be back again, and all the Christians seem glad to see us. Every one says he has never known the heathen so ready to listen and willing to buy Christian books as now.. Far merly they would not take them as gifts. We were perfectly astonished when it was reported that the sale oi books from our compound here amount ed to $115 for the last ten months, where formerly it hardly reached $2G a year. "The gentlemen say they hear verj little or no reviling as they go through the villages, but are treated respectful ly and often invited in to rest and "talk, even in strange villages. . They all feet that this field is open for, evangelical work as it never has been before." t -it rt'i r i r f Vi r m n " u Bat Knocks Out Lady's Teeth, ifosiista, Ga., April 7.
