HE SUNDAY SCHOOL IN INDIA-Mr.
w. ID. Stanes, Christian planter at
Salem, South India, writes of the Sun
day School at that mission station
"Our Sunday School consists of so
boys and girls, classified according to
their capacity. The subjects taught
them are portions of the Old and New
Testaments, Bible stories, hymns, and
Christian lyrics. Nearly half our peo-
pie are little children, varying from
three to eight years of age. Our older
ones have made iair progress in their
knowledge of the Scriptures" The i'm
portance which Sunday School work
has assumed in the Tarancore Mission,
India, is shown in a paragraph by the
Rev. |. 81. Hacker: sin this district
more than 5000 children gather to-
gether in various little companies on
Sundays to hear especially the story of
Jesus Christ's love and pity to the sons
of men," The following statement
from the report of the Madagascar Mis-
sion shows the growth of the Sunday
School movement in that island: "The
Sunday School movement in Antanan-
arlvo, commenced three years ago, has
proved a complete success. The en-
ergy thrown into it at the beginning
has been kept up ever since-yea, has
steadily increased, and the work has
now assumed an Importance hitherto
entirely unknown. All our churches
in Antananarivo have now their Sun
day Schools, and the total number of
children learning in them at the pre-
sent time is more than 1000. The in
huence of this movement in Antanan-
arivo is now beginning to make itself
felt In the surrounding districts, and in
many of the towns and villages Sun
day Schools have been commenced,
and goodly number of children have
been brought under religious instruc-
ton"
In India there are 2,208 children in
the Sunday Schools of the Baptist de
nomination.
For these facts we are indebted to
the Sunday School Chronicle (London)
and the Sunday School Times Of Phila-
delphia.
From Tientsin, China, the Rev. Il.
Bryson, of the London Missionary So
ciety, writes that Sunday School was
commenced on June 21st and has an
average attendance of between 20 and
80. Mr.. Bryson continues: "The hour
spent in Sunday School, when teachers
and scholars talk Familiarity face to face
about the life of our Lord, is felt to be
the happiest and most profitable of all
the week and could you have listened
yesterday to the senior Chinese teach
er catechising the whole school at the
close of the lesson, you would have
said that this part of the exercises
could not have been more thoroughly,
devoutly, and suggestively done in any
school in England"

IT WAS John Wesley who said that
if he suddenly learned during the after
noon that he must die at midnight ne
would simply keep the engagements he
had already made, attend one by one
to his routine duties, and at bedtime
commit his soul to his Makers keeping
and retire to rest.

MIR. MCALL reports of his work in
France that in Paris alone there has

owe now see around us the fruit Of
years of toll and watching"

We notice from the Nelos and Courier
that the Sailors Home" in Charles

made for aid from all the maritime

rebuilding.

The two leading articles in the Gen.
tral Presbyterian of last week were en-
titled "What Think Ye of Christi"
and "The Earthquake" The two
leading articles in the Independent of
New York of the same date were on
the same subjects and had identically
the same titles. 1t is very common
thing for 1.-TWO great minds to think
alike" but it is rather remarkable that
they shodld both be thinking at the
same moment, several hundred miles
apart, on two unconnected subjects,
and proceed to head their thoughts in
precisely the same words. The Inde.
pendent, we may remark, has been
steadily improving for more than
year past (Which is a very high com
pliment), and if it goes on this way,
we shall hold it in still higher esteem

AQUA PURA.
The steam Pumping Station To he
Located aG n IVenIieIh Avenue.

The Importance or more properly speak
ing, the necessity of a supplementary
pumping station to be operated by steam
and located at desirable point up the
river. is cOnfessedly apparent TO the powers
that be. Moreover, citizens and taxpayers
who are interested in fire protection under
all circumstances and who appreciate the
benefits to be derived frou securing absO-
lutely pure water for domestic and culinary
uses, have no hesitancy in pronOuncing for
the project. The only question now TO be
settled is that of location. and that is a
problem which the special committee from
the city council, composed of one alderman
from each ward, and the board Of water
commissioners are now coping with. Yes
terday they visited the proposed site at
Twentieth avenue north. where the sub
merged flexible pipe is to be laid the coming
season, and We're manifestly pleased with
it. Then they crossed TO a point on the
East side, directly opposite, and inspected
that also. For reason, perhaps best eX-
pressed by Mayor Pillsbury in Calculating
his opinion relative thereto. the Twentieth
avenue site will probably be selected. Mr..
Pillsbury said that the East side pumping
station now has available power TO run
three additional 10, OCO, 00O- gallOn-per- day
capacity pumps, which affords all the water
facilities that will be likely to be needed
for many years to come on that side of the
river, whereas the power on the West side
is now nearly all utilized by the pumps IN
operation. The new pumping station will
then be needed TO furnish the water which
the proposed extension for the coming few
years will require. These extensions will
reach out their arms of connecting mains
into the Eighth ward and other more dis
tant points. The proposition is to put the
steam pumping station into daily operation
for the purpose of supplying the domestic
service. Analysis has shown that uncOn-
taminated river water is the purest obtain
able, and it will be a matter of no ordinary
qualification TO the housewife TO know that
she can have an abundant supply OF aqua
pura for culinary use.

he can not appear in court as complaining

Elmer Bailey was arraigned in the NUM-
cipal court yesterday, on the charge OF dis
posing of mortgaged property, but the county
attorney dismissed that action, and at once
brought another, alleging that the property

Political Notes.

Il Fl. Nunn's apparently harmless little
amendment TO the Union league rules OF
etiquette for the management of Republican
conventions. which compels delegates 10 vote
vive voce for nominees, has provoked a good
deal Of hard kicking among some of the
wheelhOrses who imagine that they draw the
Republican coach. II Mr.. Nunn's amendment
is lived up TO the 'silent vote" which per
mits delegate 10 vote contrary to his n
structions without his constituents finding al
out, will be entirely done away with. At to-
nights conference at Window hall an effort
viii probably be made TO undo the work Of
the audacious Num-, who it seems desires
TO destroy one of the cherished prerogatives
of pure and holy Republicanism.

G. \. Pillsbury d Co. had sold a tract of
pine land tributary TO the Mississippi river
for the munihcent sum of 81, 500. 600.
These reports, in q measure, were mis-
leading, although founded on fact From
Mayor Pilsbury the information was
CLEANED Yesterday that a colossal pine deal
had actually been cOnSummated, but il is
only a stunpage deal and not a land deal.
Parties representing an immense capital.
and hailing from Chicago and Michigan,
have purchased One-third of the stumpage
on the entire tract Of pine lands owned by
the Pillsbury company, and means about
COO. O0O. 600 feet of logs The title of the
lands proper remain with the Pillsburys.
The main object in retaining the land
is explained in the fact that all the
smaller timber is left untouched, and
i'm the course of score or two of years
Will in turn become valuable for numbering
purposes. Furthermore, the expense con-
nected with holding il is nominal, as taxes
are light on such property. The tract Of
land from which the vast amount of timber
is to be harvested lies nearly on the eastern
shore of the Mississippi and is all tribu-
tary to it. They are in ST. Louis and CaSs
counties. The project cOntemplates the
erection of mills in Minneapolis. and hence

Isl For PoIicy,s Sakel

George A. Brackets vigorous researches
into exposition lore has so thoroughly
exhausted his physical structure that he
found 1t impossible to return home with
the other members of the committee. He
stopped off in New York, and will go TO
Washington to rest up, and recuperate
from the serious effects of his oyerwork.
He will arrive at conveniently good time,
however, to put up all fences and care for
the Republican primaries to be held on
March 20. That he is a candidate for
mayor there can be no doubt He has
studiously avoided committing himself upon
the matter but cannot counsel silence much
longer. Hence, it is barely possible that il
