ashamed of making treaties only to
break them, or grudging the time,
money, and paper it wasted, passed an
act to the effect that no Indian tribe
should hereafter be considered as a
foreign nation with whom the United
States might contract by treaty" When
a nation breaks treaties with powers
weaker than itself when it practices
a systematic course Of oppression and
wrong, ignoring the most common ties
that bind humanity together, it is gov
erned by thoughts that are ''evil in
themselves, and that continually"
After the act which declared that the
United States could not treat with In
dians as foreign nations, it negotiated
still more treaties, but called them con-
ventions or agreements and not treat
ies;' but the difference is only in name.
And the Supreme Court has recently
decided, "That in case of fraud by lob
byists against the Cherokees, the Uni
ted States had no jurisdiction, the In
dian tribes being independent foreign
nations" To the act of 1871 was added
proviso that no treaties already made
should be, by this act, invalidated.
This probably covered the recent decis-
ion of the Supreme Court Still the
nations word has been false; agree
ments and conventions are, in effect,
treaties. The deeds of the nation have
been in accord with its broken faith,
evil thought, and meaningless word.
But the life of the world, through its
more perfect ultimation into the body
of humanity, has given to the Indians a
new start in the race. In this era of
universal rights, the Indians have not
been left out. The quickening infu-
ences of the human-an and of the divine
through the human-love has begun its
resuscitating work. May the wave that
has brought to them returning life, not
recede until it has gathered into itself
the debris of centuries, leaving behind
new landmark from whose highest
point the future of the Indians shall
stretch out into fields that shall be kept
green through the irrigating influences
of charity and mercy.

sTIMULANT WITHOUT FOOD,

At one time Mr.. Cough said he was
before large audience, and trying to
convince them that alcohol was not a
food, but merely a stimulant. A keen,
intellectual looking fellow arose, and
wanted to know how it was possible for
a thing to be stimulant without being
a food. For a moment Cough felt
concerned, but the next moment his
answer was ready. Cant have a
stimulsnt without foodp" he asked
" You sit down on a hornets nest and
see."

of man, and remarkable provision in
the Christian Scriptures to supply mans
spiritual wants.
If the Bible were not mysterious
man would soon outgrow it. II man
could perfectly comprehend and fully
understand everything revealed in it,
the revelation would no longer interest
him. From it he could learn no new
truth, acquire no new thought, and re-
ceive no new stimulus. Its study
would not educate, improve, or develop
him. 1t would no longer interest
or attract his intellectual, moral, and
spiritual nature. But the mystery of
the Bible, while it is old, makes it al
ways new. To the mind of man it is
ever fresh and refreshing.

TIMOTHY DWIGHT, PROFESSOR OF SACRED LITERA-
TURE IN THE THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL AT YALE.
The man who will be chosen President of
Yale College at the meeting of the corpora
ton to be held in few weeks, is Timothy
Dwight, grandson of the Timothy Dwight
who was President of the college from 1895
to 1917, and now Professor of sacred itera-
ture in the theological school. No other
candidate is now mentioned al Yale. Among
other reasons given for the preference to be
shown him is that he has expressed opinions
regarding the management of the college
which show him to be peculiarly well quail
flied for the place.
Professor Timothy Dwight comes of FAM
~ which has given eminent scholars and
thinkers to the world. His grandfather is
said to have been the best President Yale
ever had. He was born at Norwich, Conn,
hfty-eight years ago, is well preserved and
vigorous. His accomplished wife presides at
his home IN New Haven, which is the center
of a large social circle.
The life of the student and the instructor
presents in itself few materials for the biog-
rapher, but is fruitful in consequences which
have large share in determining the history
of the future. There is no question that DR..
Dwight's elevation to the Presidency of Yale
will imply the continuance of its superior
influence among the leading centers OF
American culture. By the way, eX-Presi-

silence in the room became almost painful
1t was broken by the clear sharp bell of the
clock striking the last hour of day which

suddenly and looking toward his friends,
said with a quick, nervous laugh: Gentle

A Tale of Canvasbacks.
[From the Pall Nan Gazette.l


&r. Bateman was passionately fond of
canvasback duck, which he imported into
England. The canvasback was to be the
piece de resistance of this particular Sunday
feast of which Mr.. Irving spoke. For days
before Mr.. Bateman had spent hours in close
combinations with the cook respecting the
preparation of the birds. The evening
came. The guests were sharp set. They
had hors d'euvres in plenty to increase their
zest for the ducks. At last the great mo-
ment arrived. Horror on horror In
stead of being hot and frizzy-(that is the
word Mr.. Irving ed)-the canvasbacks
were cold and flabby. From that moment
the spirits of the guests fell, and fell from
boiling point to zero. They quatfed bumper
after bumper, and drank bottle after bottle.
OF no avail. The horrible miscarriage Of
the canvasbacks weighed on the host and
guests. They babe each other adieu tear
fully, and went home to their wives or their
lodgings. Time went on, and whenever Mr..
Irving met Mr.. Bateman he always tried to
discover the reason of the great canvasback
fasco. But without avail. Mr.. Bateman
the two men met at the club. "Bateman,
have you heard the newsP asked Mr.. Irv
ing, in a sepulchral tone of voice, to his host
of that memorable night. mo, what is itY'
1.-The cooks dead, " replied Mr.. Irving, more
mournfully than ever. 'Then I'm ID
glad of il, replied Mr.. Bateman. WHY
exclaimed the other, rather shocked. HE
cooked those canvasbacks over gas" And
Mr.. Bateman marched off never to recur to
the subject again.

unsoldered and free, doubling over each
other. The Danish cross, called Princess
Waldemar, is also Acknowledgment ex-
actly from that found in Denmark. 1t is of
very curious shape and bears at each point
an enameled figure in red, green, and blue.
The barbaric style of jewelry is considered
the most beautiful lust now; so silver
mountings are replacing gold. Really the
models should be in bronze, as those copied
belong principally to the bronze age, but no
woman would fancy this ultra-faithful re-
production.
The new fans of Grape powdered with
shining spangles, having all the colors of the
rainbow, are very effective in the evening
1t looks as if the powder OF crushed jewels
had been sifted over them. A lovely example
is delicate painting on black of Christmas
Eve in a French village. The rubies of the
lights, the diamonds of the virgin, the sapp-
hires of the moonlight, form a sparkling
whole most elegant for evening wear. An
elegant fan is of black gauze apparently
spangled with diamond dust. In the center
is the monogram of the owner in imitation
diamonds. The effect is superb. 1t is the
latest note of elegance, and all our bellies are
having their monograms thus worked in
their gauze fans.
Colored wells are not so much worn; they
are not considered to be generally becoming,
and are also bad for the sight. Fine wells
spotted with white or black and white wells
spotted with black are worn crossing the face
exactly where they are most becoming. Some
ladies cover the upper lip, but the line Just
below the nose is that most generally adopt
ed. The veil is put on first, in order not to
spoil the effect OF the bonnet
Gloves OF kid are VOID, though not so
much as during the winter, when hardly
any other were seen; but with bright
weather the giants de Suede have made a
struggle for supremacy over the beautiful
embroidered silk gloves which are so great
success; but as the season advances the
Suede glove must conquer on account of the
heat of the sun, which, when it becomes
very hot, spOils silk-gloved hands.
Embroidered handmade linen is an irish
novelty. 1t is made in white and cream
color, and the designs are worked in polished
fax thread.
Gold and silver hairpins in a variety of
styles are worn. Some of them are exceed
ingly ornate, others quite plain.
There has never been larger choice of rib
bOns, nor have they for years been so much
used for trimming as this season. They have
all picOt or fTinged or fancy edge of some
kind, and though there is large choice of
all widths, the one most used in millinery is
certainly narrower. All stripes go down the
ribbon, not across. Some of them are gradu-
ated and there is much beauty apparent in
the amalgamatiOn of the colOrings. Gold
picOts are new idea introduced on a ribbon

have came in again, especially in wide rib
bons and plain corded ribbons.

The Century Plant.
Ito Child.)
In my garden grows a plant
Very stiff and very stately,
And its curving leaves grant
That my eyes admire greatly.
But though may watch and wait
All the years that God shall send me,
Watch IL early, tend il late,
Not bloom that plant shall lend me.
Once within a hundred years
Doth ii burst to blossom only,
And forgotten will be the tears,
And no more shall be lonely.
All delight in earthly bloom
Will be less than nothing to me,
When those splendid flowers perfume
All the walks and haunts that knew me.
So ! find my love is more
For the rose that blossoms yearly,
Than for all the hidden store
That this stately plant holds dearly.
Better is it, child, to show
Daily love and tender sweetness,
Than 70 hide in deepS below
All that gives your life completeness.
Better far to fill the air
With a common, fragrant pleasure,
Than to stand aloOf and rare
With an unseen glowing treasure.
Bloom to-day, and If the frost
Shall tomorrow nip your beauty,
Then you win not, dear, have lost
All that lies in active duty.
Yet, il God commands you, wait
With splendor in your growing,
Stand with meekness in your state
Till the bud is ripe for blowing.

A good deal has been heard from the
uncles, grandfathers, cousins, and school
mates of the lady Mr.. Cleveland is accredited
with selecting for his bride, but little, except
at second hand, from the lady herself. AN
important quotation from letter to Buffalo
lady is at last made public. The recipient is
to be bridesmaid, and to her the bride
could write freely. The letter shows at once
the kind, warm heart of the writer, and that
the President is a lover of the loving kind.
Miss Folsom writes: II wish all you dear
girls could have such devoted sweetheart as
i have. Grover Cleveland is the
finest man in the world" This confirms the
hopes OF an anxious nation that this is a love
match, and that Miss Folsom has the appre-
citation of her love common to girls about to
marry their first choice.
