Starting a Young Man.


It is related of wealthy Philadel-
phian who has been dead these many
years that a young man came to him
one day and ~ ed for help TO start
in business.

lionaire.

"Stop it! Stop it fe: a yearaRd

again presented himself.

great man.

But the young nran never called
again. When some one asked why
he didn't make one more effort; he.
replied: -,
"Did'nt I know what he was drive

His superior officers favored him,

the gentlemanly young mate had
acquired unusual favor in the eyes of

THE IMPROVED INDIANS.

There is no more interesting educational
 work going on in this country than the teach. ing of Indians at the school at Hampton,
 Virginia. From the beginning of the work
 many have been sure that but little could be
 accomplished and that fhe educated" Indi-
 ans would not stay educated after they left
 the school. The experiment has not been long enough in operation to be finally judged,
 but it's results have so far been exceedingly encouraging.
 Rev. Thomas L. Riggs, life long mission ary to the Sioux, and founder of the admira- ble Indian settlement at Peoria Bottom, Da- kota, has made 8 report concerning some of the educated Indians which is full of inter est, and, fairly considered, very encouraging. He has recently visited the Crow, Creek and Brule agencies and is able to speak directly regarding the position et Hampton scholars at these agencies. While they have not all done well careful study shows that failures have not been the rule. Mir. Riggs says: Now my own feeling is, from what I regard the correct standpoint, that of entire satisfac- tion; the gain is more than I expected. A little education is apt to spoil an ignorant man for time. He usually, however, grows out of his spoiled condition. So with many of our Indian boys being away at school is very apt to bring them home on an inflated basis often you can do nothing whatever with them. This is not the case with returned Hampton students alone. I may say that by no means is it true that your boys from Hampton have gone back and are TndionC fhov, hat ment official puts it. They have done bet ter than some of us who are on the ground and understand the difficulties of the ques- tion expected they would. We rejoice in it. and bid you a hearty God-speed.
 MT. Riggs points out that there is danger of expecting too much and that 8 savage people cannot be lifted up by giving to a few boys and girls three years course of study. One difficulty has been in reaching a correct standard by which to judge of the boys The Indian agents are too much inclined to test the boys by the requirements of skilled labor, and the result is that those who were reported as doing well at first are now re- ported less favorably.
 There are now 107 Indians at Hampton, mostly Sioux, and General Armstrong, who is at the head of the school, says that they have much better practical training than the first who came. Excellent accommodations have been provided for sixty Indian girls, largely through the encouragement of MT. Carl Schurz, when Secretary of the Interior. There are 800 Indians in all at the Hampton and Carlisle schools, and there would be more if there were more money to provide accom- modations and instruction for them. Con- gress has not been at all generous toward this promising and useful work. If it would appropriate less for undiscoverable and un- 'trivers' and ':harbors' and more for the educating and uplifting of young Indians the people would be better

 During the past five years the Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans Railroad company has employed a large number of unskilled laborers, chiefly negroes. MT. James C.. Clarke, general manager for the company, makes this interesting statement: My ex- perience with this class of labor has besn very satisfactory. When intelligently direct ed, properly treated and justly dealt with, there is no better laborer than the negro to be found among any race in the world. They are peculiarly fitted for labor in semi-tropical climates, and are by nature cheerful, obedient, kind, initiative end contented. They are fast learning that freedom means honesty, industry and intelligence. They are now 8 valuable laboring population, and each year, as they acquire education, they will become better citizens. They should be justly dealt with, and treated with the respect due all honest laborers'' This is valuable testi- mony concerning the ability of the negro and his capacity to improve.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

Ihe North American ReUieoo for February opens with symposium in which six prom inent theologians, representing as many re- igious denominations, give expression to their views npon the question of the s'Revis- ion of Creeds.' Professor Alexander Win chell, in an article entitled ''The Ex- pertinent of Universal Suffrage" insti- tutes profound inquiry into the essential conditions of stable popular government. Bishop McQuaid writes of ssThe Decay of Professionalism, and in essaying to prove his thesis, makes very adroit use of the ad- missions of Protestant writers. ''The Po- iticsl Situation is the joint title of two articles, the one by Horatio Seymour, the other by George s. Boutwell,, who offer their respective views upon the causes of the re- cent overthrow of the Republican party. An Article by Dr. D. A. Sargent on 'sPhysi- cal Education in Colleges treats Q subject of prime importance to the welfare of the youths in our higher educational institutions. Finally, there are two articles on "The Standard Oil Company Senator Camden of West Virginia, defending that corporation against it's assailants, and John c. Welch set ting forth the reasons for condemning it as a dangerous monopoly.
 Haaper's MagGsizae for February is a fine number. It opens with frontispiece en- graving from George H. Boughton's Royal Academy picture, The Frozen Fountain. MT. Wirt Sikes, our consul at Cardiff, describes ''The Wild Welsh Coast" and his article is well illustrated by Harry Fenn. Under the title of 'tGerman Political Leaders" Professor Herbert Futile contributes a valuable article on the German Parliament. George M White contributes an illustrated article on ''The Local Associations of Whittier's Poems," full of interesting "reminiscences of the old poet. The two serial lnovels-Black's ''Shandon Bells and Miss Woolson's '.For the Major"-are continued. Ernest Ingerson contributes 8 short story based on romance associated with the old Russian fort in Alta California, described in his article ''In Red wood Logging Camp" in the January num- Der. ''Eugenie's Fete Day. is bright little sketch by 4 Working Girl. Phil Robinson compares the treatment of fNature-especiaIly of birds-by American and English poets. Poems are contributed by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps and Julia c. R. Dorr. Southern Riv- CTS, by M. V. Moore, though having no espe. cial value as a poem, is very curious and interesting review of the Indian names given to southern rivers.

 'tAnd now I only ask the good genius who
 has so often guided, counseled and comfort ed me but an easy and sudden death at my
 appointed time, be it far or near. The stoics
 contended that happy life was possible
 within the stomach of Phalaris' bull That IS saying too much. The only acceptable death is noble death, which is not 8 patho- logical accident, but valued and determined end before the Eternal. Death in action is the most desirable of all but there are other ends not less illustrious. If ever I have occasionally desired to be Senator, it is because I imagine that before very long that office will afford those holding it fine op- portunities of being shot or beaten to death modes of decease, after all to be preferred to long illness that destroys you by a slow piece-meal process. Gods will be done! I shall henceforth not have much to learn, and can pretty clearly discern what amount of the truth can be grasped by the human mind in the present stage of it's development. But what would be source of desolation to me would be to have to go through one of those periods of disintegratien in which man who has had strength and virtue is but the shadow and the wreck of his former sell, and often, to the delight of fools, destroys the la- borious structure of his life. Such an old age IS the worst gift the gods may confer on man, and if such a fate be in store for me, I protest beforehand against the weaknesses which softening of the brain might induce me to commit or to subscribe. It is Renan, sound in brain as I now am, not Renan, half decomposed by death as I should be were I to molder slowly out of existence. whom I wish people to hear and believe. I protest against and repudiate beforehand the blas- phemies which the darkness of my last hour might wrest from me against the Eternal. The life given me without my request has been to me blessing. Were it once more offered to me would gratefully accept it. The age wherein have lived will probably not rank as the greatest, but doubtless it will be held as the most amusing of ages. Un- less my concluding years have cruel pains in store for me, in bidding farewell to life I shall have nothing but thanks to offer to the Cause of All Good for the charming progress sion have been permitted to make through reality"
 Here M Renan brings his spiritual auto biography to close. The reader will see that his chief preoccupation seems to be to prevent his last hours being disturbed by the wrangle which took place over Littre's death bed. Yet, in spite of the absolute way in which M. Renan affirms his convictions, the concluding chapter of his confessions will lead many to regard him as one "Perplexed in faith, but pure in deeds" but who may yet live to grasp the truths which the ab- sence Of grief, sorrowing and suffering, which has marked his life, has thus far pre-. vented his raalizinp

A Monster Made of Gold.

" I have just returned from Paris. See what I have brought my wife," said whole sale jewelry dealer, extending a small ali gator to the reporter. The monster was of Roman gold with ruby eyes and fiat link in it's nose. Four small diamonds were em- bedded perpendicularly down the back of the neck, the last one almost meeting 8 like row of jewels which ran out into his tail, gradu- ating in width. Other rows were set on eitker side, making the entire back mass of dia, monds. While examining this fine piece of work the reporters finger came in contact with small spring in the alligator's tail, when the gem encrusted back raised itself by hinge at the neck, disclosing the face of a watch about as large as gold dollar. The merchant then pressed another spring, which laid open the interior, a perfect system of minute works with stem-winder attached.

 The Re0ae des Dealz 1fo7ades has concluded the publication of a work of considerable in terest to all students of the history of hu- man thought and of the working of the hu- man mind. Of equal interest with Dr. New mans '.Apologia pro sua vita' the 'fSouve- nirs d'Enfance ct de Jeunnesse" of M. Renan have the additional charm that proceeds from more intimate relation of the authors moral and material existence. No one that has read them can help feeling that he knows M Renan as though he had lived with him all his life, and he has toward him 8 sympa- thy which cannot be regarded as warm friendship or admiration, but that kind of liking which is elicited by the mixture of al most childlike simplicity with intellectual gifts of the very highest character. M. Re- nan makes no secret of his humble birth and percentage, of his early life in small Breton village, of the studious disposition fostered by the comparative delicacy of his constitu- tion; and this part of the work has all of the usual characteristics of autobiography It rises to higher level when he describes with critical power-the more remarkable that it seems almost unconscious-the discl- pline and mode of life of the religious schools where candidates for the priesthood receive their training; discipline so strict, so unvarying, so unwayering in it's steadlness
