l have no doubt, which l never before

can't be expected to keep up with the

But what was the old lady's surprise
when the boys threw aside their blue
jackets, and two of them began to throw

other while the third boy stood between,
striking at it as it flew through the air,
and sometimes hitting it and sometimes
not. There they stayed all the afternoon
doing the same thing.

For the Central Presbyterian.
The Presbyterian Cot,

Have the little readers Of this paper
forgotten about the endowment of the
Presbyterian Cot in the Children's Ward
at the Retreat for the Sick?
When we heard few days ago that
the Episcopal children have already con-
tributed the $4,000 necessary to endow
the Churchman Cot, we really felt ashamed
that our Presby terrain Cot was still so far
from that point. Perhaps we should more
frequently remind our little readers about
the Cot, for there are so many ways for
the pennies to go that the Cot may some
times be overlooked With the money
that you have sent from time to time we
have been able to take care of fourteen
patients for varying lengths of time
from one to four months each-besides
keeping the Cot well furnished with ne
cessary comforts for the little sufferers
The reason why an endowment fund is
so desirable is, that some little patient
could then al,OoyS have the use of our
Cot, and at the same time receive good
doctoring and nursing, as we'll as board
and washing.
If you could see the eight little boys
and girls who are now in the Children 5
War1-bright and happy in spite of hip
Joint, spinal, and other diseases, you
would be so interested in making them
comfortable that your pennies would
Dome into the treasury as fast as we could
count them. Will you not think of these
sick children, and pray for them too
Then whenever you can send your
money, no matter how little, to Mrs S.
IL. Halves, 422 E. Franklin street, Rich
mond,' Va, and it will be acknowledg ed
in this paper.

Doing Good.

Can little CT lid do any good to others
in the way of telling them about Jesus
and God and heaven Yes, indeed, no
one is too young for that.
once asked dear friend of mine
what made her first begin to think of
such things, and she told me, as nearly
as can remember her words:
"Once, when L was very tiny child,
about four years old, I was playing in
our garden at home, with my little sister,
and | became very hot, and tired, and
thirsty, so my sister went into the house
to fetch me a drink of water. She was
very little older than myself "a year,
think), but when she brought the water,
and | was drinking it eagerly, she said ::
Love, won't it be nice when we go to
heaven when we shall not be hot, and
tired, and thirsty there She went on
for little longer talking about how
beautiful it would all be, and ended by
saying And then we shall see Jesus -
But, 1 said, but he won't take any
notice of US, he won't care about US, we're
too tiny
"Oh, but he will, said my sister he
loves little children and cares for them
very much. )"
So that first led my friend to think of
the loving Saviour, who has said "Suf-
fer little children to come unto me-"

We Must Give the Bright Ones
to Jesus"

Bessie's mamma brought home a mis-
sion "nite-box" one day. The httle
girl was, of course, very eager to know
what it was, and what it was made ior.
When she was told that it was to save
money in, to help pay teachers who
should go far away to tell little children
about Jesus, she was very much inter
ested. She talked very often in deep
concern about the poor children who
Go not love Jesus" and begged the priv
lege of putting the pennies into the mite.
box, as her share OF the giving.
After the marketing was done on Sat
urday morning the time came every week
when handful of pennies were given
Bessie to choose some for the box. 1t is
a good plan to have set time to give
money for the Lords service. After
awhile it becomes habit of giving at that
time. You know how strong habits
grow, and how they govern us in what
we do.
Well, Bessie had formed the habit OF
asking for the change when her mother
came from market. She would turn the
pennies over in her grave, sweet way,
choose out the brightest she could find
and say, We must give Jesus the bright
ones, mamma we must give Jesus the
best" And she would talk SO wisely
and tenderly of Jesus love and pity that
her mother began to wonder in her heart
what the Heavenly Father had in store
for this child in the far away dim future
of life now only begun. What if he
should, from her very childhood, be
teaching Bessie to be a missionary
Could she give this dear one up, after
she had grown to be woman, to go far
away to tell about Jesus in heather
lands? Yes, sometimes she thought she
could do even that, and she prayed for
grace to train Bessie for this blessed SER
vice if it should be His blessed will to call
her.
But this was not the Lords will for
the little one. She was not to live
long life of toll and care and pain here
upon earth. Harp and crown and white
robes were ready, and place for her in
the light and Joy and blessedness Of
heaven.
The messenger was at the door; she
was to come home to Jesus now. The
summons was sudden. The mother clasp
ed the child close, as though she would
hold her fast Had She forgotten the
sweet words of her darling, We must
give Jesus the bright ones, mamma we
must give Jesus the best ?"
Smiling through her tears she laid her
precious only daughter in the angels
embrace.
To-day there is vacant little chair in
Bessie's home. The patter of her feet is
still, and the sound Of her sweet voice is
heard no more upon earth But there is
one more child-soul walking in white
one more sweet voice in the childrens
choir; one more bright one" safe, for
e0er safe, with Jesus in Ps'e8by

Twenty-one Sea Lions.

Last week twenty-one sea lions were
liberated in Central Park from the crates
in which they had arrived, and foundered
into the pond in which four former ar
rivals of their kind were sporting. The
immigrants first plunged thirstily into
the water thus wasting good deal of
it over the curbed margin. The pool was
thoroughly troubled and very much
crowded, and it was not long before
friendly relations were established be-
tween the four old residents and the new
corners. The herd is made up mostly of
females, but one old bull weighing 900
pounds Immediately established himself
as the guardian of the pond, and was
seen to swim round and round it with a
watchful eye upon his charges. These
twenty-one sea lions, with two others
which died on the way here, were lassoed
on the rocks on the coast Of the Santa
Cruz Islands in the Pacific, 400 miles
north of San Francisco. At this season
of the year hundreds OF the females herd
on the rocky shores of these islands, and
here their young are educated. For six
weeks after birth they cannot swim, and
so their mothers remain by them, and
the wild shore becomes a sort of kinder
garten. The bulls meantime parade
about little outside the opening of the
inlet, keeping guard. The fishermen ap-
proach in small boats, and lasso as many
sea lions as they can carry off. The lions
make little resistance, and as each one is
caught the line is fastened to the rocks
until enough are captured. Then the
animals have to be carefully Aoated out
to the smacks, and while they swim
readily, care is necessary to keep their
heads above water and prevent tn cir
drowning. Once on shipboard, they are
put in crates in pairs. The present herd
Of sea lions was caught for Charles

York from California man rode in the

One-old-ca

Grandma sat at the window one fine
afternoon, knitting. In group, on the
ground below, sat three little boys dressed
in blue sailor suits, red stockings and polo
caps. What nice-looking little boys, "
thought Grandma.
Presently up jumped one little boy and
said, Come on, fellows, let's play some
thing"
e" All right" said another boy, One
old-cat." Then they all ran into the
house.
Dear me !" said Grandma, ~ thought
they were good boys; but they seem to
be going to tease pussy"
In few minutes they came back.
One Of them carried large club, while
another had something which grandma,
who could not see very well, took to be a
stone
"Oh, what cruel boys ' thought the
old lady " It's bad enough to tie things
to a cats tail but to beat her with club
and to throw stones at her is still worse.
"Ill be pitcher shouted one Of the
boys.

pitch her. Who would believe that boys
in red stockings and blue suits could be
so cruel p

TINY and Willie.

Wearied with play Leila and Tiny
drew their garden-chairs close together,
and sat down under the chestnut tree
which grew beside their home. Their
laps were full Of flowers, which they had
just gathered to make into nosegay for
their mother. Birds were singing in the
branches overhead, and little robin,
which they fed every day till it was quite
tame, hoped round them with a conse-
quentical air, and sometimes perched on
their shoulders.
Both children had been quite silent
for few minutes when Tiny suddenly
raised her blue eyes and said
