trade, imports and exports, amounts to £446,000
($2,200,000). Livingstone saw the opportunity for
~successiul plantations, but his first efforts failed.
Last year over 2,000,000 pounds of tobacco,
1,300,000 pounds of cotton, and 750,000 pounds
of coffee were exported. ‘Twenty-five years ago the
natives contributed nothing to the revenue of the
Protectorate; Jast year in hut taxes alone they
paid £50,984 ($250,000). The trackless land in
which the explorer lost his way, whose paths were
closed by war, is now penetrated by over 3,000
miles of road. ‘The people who lived in restless
barbarism, whose languages were not redueed to
writing, have to-day 1,527 schools, with 119402
pupils on their rol]. Men who knew few arts be-
yond that of war are to-day printers, builders, car-
penters, clerks, and telegraphists. A community of
over 1,000,000 souls has entered into a new era of
settled peace and constant progress.” .

ONE evening as Luther saw some cattle quietly
grazing in a pasture, he said: “Behold, there go
our preachers, our milk-bearers, our butter-bearers,
and our cheese-bearers, which daily preach unto us
faith towards God, that we shall trust in Him, as
a loving Father; He careth for us, and will main-
tain and nourish us.”

BOOK TABLE.

VANJI BAUMI.  Kiniges ucber Travancore und seine
Bewohner. By H. Nau, Missionary in Trivandrum,
Travancore, South India. Concordia Publishing
House, St. Louis, Mo. Bound in red-cloth flexible
covers; 48 pages; 6X9 in. Price, 30 cts.

This well-written and profusely illustrated booklet
describes the principality of Travancore, situated in the
extreme southwestern part of India, where several of our
missionaries have been working for some years with great
success. We have but one fault to find with this extreme]
interesting little book, and that is its littlencss.. We wis
that the esteemed author would have told us much more

about the country and People in the same happy vein. -

However, in- his foreword to the book, the Superintendent
of India Missions, the Rev. J. A. Friedrich, tells us that
if this booklet finds a ready sale, other books‘on our India
Mission will follow. In view of this promise, we should
advise the missionaries to set to work at once in getting
their manuscripts ready, for of the quick sale of this book
no one can have the Jeast doubt. If books like this do not
interest, we are ready to give up all hope of interesting,
people with good reading-matter. _

THE DANCE. By William Dallmann. Seventh, revised
edition. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.
Pep copies, 5 cts.; per dozen, 50 cts.; per 100,

This pamphlet of 45 pages is as timely to-day as it was
when first” a lished. twenty years a The jargenmetis
are convincing, the language plain, but chaste. May it
see many more editions!

WHERE THOU GOEST. Wedding duct by Herm. 1.
Hahn, 1203 Park Ave., Fort Wayne, Ind. Price,
35 cts.

The beautiful words of Ruth to Naomi make an ex-
cellent text for a wedding song, and the composer has sue-
ceeded remarkably well in furnishing the text with music
in harmony with the sentiment expressed by the words.
While intended for a soprano and tenor duct, the com-
position may also be used as a solo with violin accompani-
ment, The music is by no means difficult, and the price
is low. The composition is provided with a German and
an English text.
