His appear ance at Missouri university, where he received his degree of LL. 1)., was his last as a public speaker. On this oc casion he talked for nearly an hour. He was in a brilliant mood. There wm a flash in every word be uttered, and and he proved the truth of the asser tion of Julian Hawthorne, that no man im the world can handle a joke for all it is worth and bring It out so forcibly and dearly as Mark Twain. The audience laughed and laughed again, but some of them cried when the speaker said in tones that shook with suppressed emotion that be was bid ding Missouri and old friend« farewell forever. “Please announce in the papers,” said Twain, “that I have retired for ever from the public platform.” When interviewed concerning the recent dis patches to the effect that the German translations of his works have been excluded by the Russian authorities. Mark Twain was not a Lit worried. “I am not in the least surprised,” said the humorist. “The books of hundreds of other authors are excluded every year from Russia, and the fact that my works are barred gives me little con cern. I am but one of a vast number whose books have been excluded and are being shut out every day by the Russian authorities and I take it as no special compliment that 1 am among so many. “Russia has a great many Germans in it» population and is gradually Rus sianizing them, and naturally it does not wish any literal ore circulated that would influence any of the people in favor of a monarchy. “Tn some of my works T may have said something that could have been colored Into a pronounced expression of views against the Russian govern ment. and it is probable that this ac counts for the fact that, nr» y bonks have been barred, and I think that the polit ical cast of some of my stories is alone responsible.” One of the most important announce ments <>f the Yale commencement sea son was the reference by President liadley, in his address* to the plan of a group of Yale men to establish a mission in the far east. This mission, which is the first of its kind to be established by graduates of any Amer ican college, is to be conducted along the broudot lines, carrying on evan gelical, medical ami especially edu cational work in a largo student cen ter in north China. It is to be unde nominational nnd independent of any existing society, but will work in har mony with them, and in specially cinee sympathy with the American* bonrd. This last-named society has pron i^ed its moral support and it»cooperation in certain practical matters, such a» the purchase and distribution of sup plies. The mission is to be under the lead-- ership of Rev. Harlan 1*.

The American congress on tuber culosis, which has just adjourned its session at New York city, adopted strong resolutions that “tuberculosis is an acute, infectious disease” anJ urging precautionary measures. The resolutions frilewt “Whereas, Tuberculosis is an infec tious disease, ordinarily communicat ed from person to person by means of the dried sputum of a consump tive patient; and “Whereas, The spread of tubercu losis could be largely controlled by proper care of such sputum and the enforcement of comparatively simple measures; therefore be it “Resolved, By the American con gress on tuberculosis, that the health authorities be urged to disseminate to the widest extent possible through the public press and other wise, correct information as to the manner in which this disease is pro duced and the moans to be employed for its prevention. “Resolved, That we believe it to be the duty of the national, state and municipal governments to enact ra tional methods for the prevention of tuberculosis, and we recommend the establishment of institutions for the care of indigent consumptives. “Resolved, That there should br state and municipal supervision of ail public conveyances for the trans portation of passengers, and in view of the fact that spitting on the floors of public conveyances favors the spread of tuberculosis and is injuri ous to the public health, it is recom- mended that transportation compa- »lies be induced to pass and to en- force rules against this act. “Resolved, That appropriation» should be requested from state and municipal governments for the pub lication and distribution of literature as a means of education in the pre vention of the spread of tuberculosis “Resolved. That all cases of tuber- •ulosis should be reported by the at tending physician to the health boards for the purpose of disinfec- lion of houses occupied by consump- lives.“ LOOK OUT FOR OPTHALMIA.
