Hxrienic value Of mirth.

But, aside from all this, mirth has an hy-
eienic value that can hardly be overrated
while our social life remains what the slavery
of vices and dogmas has made it. Joy has
been called the sunshine of the heart, yet the
same sun that calls forth the flowers of a
plant is also needed to expand its leaves and
ripen its fruit and without the stimulus of
exhilarating pastimes perfect bodily health is
as impossible as moral and mental vigor. And,
as sure as a succession of uniform crops will
exhaust the best soil, the daily repetition of a
monotonous occupation will wear out the best
man. Body and mind require an occasional
change of employment, or else liberal sup
ply of fertilizing recreations, and this require
ment is a factor whose omission often foils
the arithmetic of our political economists.
To the creatures of the wilderness affection
comes generally in the form of impending
danger-famine or persistent persecution ;
and under such circumstances the modltca-
tions of the vital process seem to operate
against its long continuance; Well-wlshing
Nature sees her purpose defeated, and the vi

A Contribution to she Indian Problem

Many people believe that it will not be pos
sible to civilize the present generation of In
dams, though the achievement may be accom-
plished with their children. There is accumu-
lating evidence against this theory, however,
and one of the most important and interest
ing contributions is furnished by q missionary
named Duncan, who selected as his field of
labor an Indian settlement near Fort Simpson,
on the Pacific coast of British North America.
They were very unpromising set of abort
gines, utterly degraded in mind and habit.
Mr.. Duncan required the Indians to give up
their "Ah-hid" or devotism, to cease calling
in oonjurers when sick, to stop gambling, to
cease polaches or giving away their property
for display, to cease painting their faces, TO
discontinue drinking Intoxicating liquors, to
rest ON the Sabbath, to attend religious in
struetion, to send their children to school, to
be cleanly, industrious and peaceful, to be
liberal and honest in trade, to build neat
houses, and to pay the village tax. This was
pretty exacting list of reforms for savages
to yield to, but Mr.. Duncan carried his point,
and Metlakahtla, as the village is named is
now described as a most exemplary commu-
nifty.
Mr.. Duncan has built by means of Indian
labor alone, one of the finest churches in the
province, capable of seating comfortably 800
people, There is also a spacious sehoolroom

settlers should build meat houses" has been
faithfully observed. A recent visitor thus
speaks of the houses II was particularly
pleased with the interior aspect, everything
being scrupulously clean. Many of them
have pictures adorning the walls. The dormi-
tories contained remarkably clean looking
beds, charming looking toilet tables improvis-
ed by the occupants, and other attractive en-
bellishments in the way of ornamental Scrip
tural notices, etc. The women were we'll
dressed and wore beaming countenances. "
Added to this, the village has q factory, a
blacksmith shop, weaving house, carpen-
ter shop, a market a sawmill, a large reading
room and mission house. All this has been
accomplished in little more than 20 years.
