see it as it was consumed. The vic
tory was complete. Next day, tour
other idols shared the same fate, and
the rest followed. One was = little
bag of sand; another consisted OF
three round pieces of wood united bya
silver chain. The people looked On IN
wonder, and when the process was
over. seeing that they had no gods to
worship, they sem to the Queen to
ask what they were to worship for the
future. The government, says the
Eaqlisb Independent, adding to the
information contained IN Mr.. POOLS
letter. thereupon appealed to the ma
tive Christians to send Christian
teachers, and they at once responded.
It was found that of $50 towns and
Villages in Imerina, 120 already had
Christian churches, and teachers
were at once found for all the rest.
This movement, which is remarkable
for its purely native origin, is another
proof that In certain stages of civili-
zation nations may be converted by
authority. The conversion of MAZDA
gascar has been accomplished in the
nineteenth century much as that of
the Saxons was accomplished In the
sixth. The iconoclast is the re-
formers forerunner. To overthrow a
fetish worship the fetish itself must
be first destroyed.

Touching Incident In a SehOOl-ROOm
During an Alarm Of Fire.

During an Alarm of Fire.
The Easton (Pa.) Free Press tells
the following beautiful incident:
We heard of an incident concern
ing the alarm at the school building
the other day, which so well illus
trates the noble part of human nature
that We give it publication. In one
of the schools there is a young girl
who is a cripple. 1t is the custom of
the teacher to allow her, when the
scholars are dismissed, always to pass
out first, in order that she may escape
from the confusion attendant upon
the dismissal Of so many children.
On Monday last, when the alarm of
fire was sounded, all the school-rooms
were at once emptied of their con-
tents.
While in all of them they rushed
out in dismay and fright, in some
cases leaving everything behind, in
one where the lame child was there
was perfect quietness and order. All
the scholars, notwithstanding the
noise and the apparent danger, re-
manned quietly In theta seats till their
lame companion had gotten safely out,
and was secure from the rush, when
they with a bound cleared the room.
They thought of her safety before
their own; neither fright nor selfish
ness induced them to provide for
themselves until they saw her secure
from peril. Such a display of con-
