Kingston, Nov. 18.--(To the Editor): In the Whig of the 13th inst. 1 was rather surprised and disgusted on Kuding the letter: of one signing him- self "A Boarder," apparently ove of gur students 100, as he spoke for thei, complaining that our boatding- citizens, public and private, $1.50 per week for their board and lodging, which they are compelipd fo do, owing to the extremely high price of everything going into the domposition of the goods dispensed to their boavders, and in order to make énds meet, which is not at all surpris- ing. The wonder is not that the price is so high, but that it is as low as it is, considering the enormous cost of all commodities, which is felt not only by the boarders, but by the keepers of the establishments where they dwell, as well as by private housekeep- ars and everybody else. All of necessi- ty are obliged to experience what high living means, and are entitled to as much sympathy on account of it as are student boarders, who, in fact, bave very little cause to complain, when it is seen what robust fellows the boarding-house keepers turn out, as they are seen in their vigorous struggles on the numerous football fields throughout the country. Poor, pany and hali-starved young fellows, could not endure the severe strain and rough treatment there dealt out to each other, such as may have been witnessed during the playing of every match: Unless the participants were well-fed and well-trained, they could pot stand this; therefore the cost of it,\no matter what it may be, is well worthy of the amount charged; so really, all things considered, the vic tuallers instead of having censure cast upon them for charging the mere pit- tance they do for the food which they dispense cost them, and scarcely that, they deserve commendation for what they do besides. "Boarder" alludes to another writer in the Whig, "A Friend of Mankind," in a disdainful and sarcastic manner, saying that his friendship is extended to only a small portion of mankind, but not to those who are living in private boarding-houses in the city, his arguments are neither and says which 1 Jogical nor reasonable, of kpow nothing, not having seen them, them and will, therefore, let pest there; but in the next Sentence he goes on to state for that the price paid by students board is considerably higher than for- merly. Of course it is, and why should it not be, when everything else has so enormousiy increased in value of late ? but students alone are no ex- feption to the rule. All boarders of J fecessity have had to submit alike to the inevitable fates. There was no alternative left the keepers but to [increase the price, as every thing is kept going up, and if they were not getting enough at first for their sup- plies, they, of course, only raised the rice the time when they Pr that what they were at first getting did not pay for what was needed to supply the demands upon them, for they could not possibly af- ford to run their houses at a loss. They were simply driveng to itv="tmd not only were students alone subject the paying of increased fares similarly situated had to do likewise, and of necessity all hands are obliged to fall line, there being no exception made to | second ol to but everyone else { mto | students or anyone else. Then this | boarder who really seems not to | know what he is, talking about, hecomes sarcastic, scurrelous and { by saying that in some cases little difference in ex- pense were eggs fifty cents per doasen, were all boarding-hoases like those 'he knows of, as eggs there, he says, are offensive it would make as scarce as snow-storms in July, which no doubt sounds very srpart | and clever to this spoiled and pam-| pered boarded to thus relieve himself. | If he, and some others like him, are so satisfied that there is such a bo- | for boarding-house keepers at nanza the prices charged as he insinuates| and objects to, tuey had better go into this business at once, when their | minds would speedily become disabus- | ed of this fallacy, and they instead would speedily slink into their holes | and ever after keep mum about the price of either the necessaries or lux-| uries supplied to them, and would be fess liable to abuse or misrepresent any class of our respectable citizens who are obliged .to eke out a hiveli-| hood in supplying the needs of dis satisfied and unrcasonable boarders, who would find that they would have] no money with which to gallivant | about country playing football at i either Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto or elsewhere, at the expense of many of | their friends at home, as they do] now. A moment's consideration wifl, | therefore, show that all classes of] boarders, hoarding-house keepers, as well as keepers of private houses are all equally entitled to sympathy, but the tension cannot be helped, as all alike suffer,, therefore what cannot be cured must be endured, as best we may; and there's the end of it for the present. That being the case it is al- together out of place for any one to whine or to abuse any class of our citizens for what cannot be obviated. --FAIR PLAY.

The annual report of the Martyrs' Memorial Hospital, Chang hi en. North China, from the Methodist Med- ical missionary, Dr. J. L. Keeler, of Keelersville, near Kingston. His native associate is H. GC. Pang. It is both informing and interesting. During the year had passed through epi- demies of diphtheria and smgilpox but escaped the drendiul scourge of cholera which is Sweeping through the land like a fire, thousands be- ing carried off. Upwards of five hun- dred patients their friends have in turps lived in 'wards. Th have heard the Christian port tested the methods, read mission hooks and also the missionaries lives But "there is so much good ia the worst of us," that it "saves the ince" of the rest of us! The increasing numbers that come is proof that they approve of the mission's morals and methods. In hospital, dispensary and {tinerary were recorded 8,534 cases. not counting return calls, which increased the num: ber of treatments greatly. There were 121 'major qperations, including ap- pendicitis, amputations, resections, tumors, cancers, tubercular glands and joints, The death rate was under five per cemt., very favorable considering Ythe low physical condition of the patients, The medical cases were legion in number, mostly chronic. Many Chinese regard the stomach as a re- servoir, to be filled quickly and pack- ed, --the more packing the better. Na- turally disorders follow. A proper diet is unknown in the land and every medical missi yp must be a caterer as well as physician. The children present a painfyl and pleasant feature of our work--painful to see the little emaciated skeletons spirits. But the reason is not hard to find, when boys and girls, from three to five, tug away at an empty breast --ot in the case of younger children, even babies, "'eating peanuts by the peck," which the mother fiest masti- cates and then puts into the baby's mouth, bird fashion. Pleasant, because these children improve at once on a corrected diet of canned milk and pre. pared foods, and weturning health to the child and hope to parents is suffi cient reward both to doctor and don or. Alas, the poorer class cannot af- ford to buy canned milk, and not one family in a thousand keep a cow; if they do chance to baye one she is used to haul the cart and till the soil. Should she chance to give milk, she must first give half or more to the calf before the farmer gets a drop, and should the calf die the cow goes dry. The people m taught the per use of milk, ras cows, Bath somé sense and dAnstinct, upless it is possible to comvert the Chinese bo- vine. The children's ward is well equip- ped and lighted, with diét kitchen and a motherly old dries A Kindergarten is proposed, and "$80 i¢ now on hand, Woodlawn Sunday school having sent $20. Mrs. Keeler will superintend and teach the nurses, haying had special training herself. About $500 is desired, and gifts marked "Children's Ward," may be sent to Dr. Keeler, Ch'ang li Hsien, Chih-li, North China, or to H. 7. Eaton, Mission Board, 180 Fifth avenue, New York. The doctor adds: "Our itiverary has been more systematic and effective than ever before. Wé have crossed and crisscrossed our field of 200 by 100 'miles to reach important cemtres, more than once follgwing some of the large fairs. This work is hurried and sometimes superficial, but opens the way for more effective work in new places, relieves hundreds of toothache, supplies thousands with eye wash. and medicines, good advice and a good gospel. Many serious cases find their way to the hospital for treatment. That old-fashioned "lumber waggon™ towards which our friends subscribed | liberally is on the way and will great- ly facilitate our jourbeys abroad. But not until we have a sufficient number of trained men and branch dispens aries can we hope to do for our field what every good Christian would long for. That another doctor is on the way to co-operate is cheering." The general reform movement of China has given much impetus to the sentiment against opium smoking Edicts forbidding its importation, sale and use are everywhere in evidence and téemples have been converted into refuges with free food and medicines Hearing much ahout the new plant cure of South China Dr. Keeler pro- cured a large box of the dried plant with directions, but has not had success largely because of the want of an active anti-opimm society to work up a sentiment against jt. A letter from' a Shan-hsi doctor (where it is said "cleven out of every ten' use opium and where Pastor Hei did | his great life work) states that ""we must appeal to the conscience, charac ter and will of the opium wreck, and when this is sufficiently aroused and alarmed pea-soup and pepper will complete the cure." The hard-working native evangelist struggles on, despite his incipient con 'sumption. He was led to Christ by one of the mission's faithful preachers who fled from the Boxers in 1900 to a small fishing village, where he was sheltered by "Father Wang" and while in hiding taoght him and his sons the Christian religion. The whole family have since come into church fellowship, and the evangelist Ch'i He has become a vera ha - mon. Results in this department are not epsily tabulated but the good done grows in ever'widening circles reaching' neighbors, relatives and dis- tant friends.
