The girls were from every part of the
country, but chiefly from the district sur
rounding Washington. Most of them are
poor; some of them have had the advan-
tages of wealth and social position, but
have been overtaken by misfortune and
compelled to earn their own living. Many
of them are studious and work hard to
educate themselves. l am told that
several of them are excellent musicians,
while others are proficient in elocution.
There are also several artists, and one
who is a fine botanist.
But are they never tempted to take
some of the millions of money that they

1--WE look upon it only as so much
paper" said one of the. girls to whom l
had put the same question in a different
form. at becomes of value to us only
when we receive it in payment for our
work. We never think of it here as
money"
Even if they did look upon it as money,
and were tempted to fill their pockets
with it, they could not get out of the
building with it. So perfect is the system
of checks and balances in the bureau of
engraving and printing that a piece of
blank paper, such as is used to print
securities on, could not be taken without
being missed inside of ten minutes, and If
it were not found no one in the division
where it was lost would be allowed to
pass out of the building until it was dis
covered and made safe again. OF course,
where such vigilance is exercised there is
no temptation to steal.-Washington Cor.

The brain work on a watch" said a
jeweler yesterday, "is about all in the
making of the machines and instruments
used in the manufacture of the watch.
Each factory has its inventors, who are
constantly at work on the machinery,
which is improved every year. The ma
chimes are very costly, but they are easily
used, and after a little practice the EN-
ploye can feed them, and thousands of
screws or wheels are turned out in an hour.
There are at least twelve watch fac.
tories in this country, -four of which-the
Elgin, the Waltham, the United COM
pany at Waltham and the Waterbury
factories-turn out 1000 watches in a
day. Many of them are sold in this coun-
try, but many find a market abroad. The
American watches excel the English time
pieces. In England matchmaking is just
what it was 100 years ago. There is no
money back of the manufacture. There
are no factories there as in this country,
where one machine will cost as much as
the whole shop in England. Watch
making, or, more properly, watch repair.
ing, is a good trade, and 1t would be bet
ter if some of our educated young men
had acquired it. The increasing demand
for watches makes more workmen neces-
sary to keep them In repair. Watch
makers serve seven years without pay in
learning the trade. But after they nave
mastered the business they can command
excellent wages."-New York Graphic.

1t is to be regretted that New York
boys have such poor opportunities for
physical development. A few days ago
twenty of them from one public school
applied for examination to be admitted to
tho Naval academy at Annapolis. All were
found-so it is ~stated-well enough up
in their studies, but not one large enough
and strong enough to pass the physical
examination. 1t is not likely that the
fault of their physical deficiency was due
entirely to the schools, as some Of our
bowling newspapers tell us. The fault is,
many of the parents of these boys nave
themselves deteriorated by working in
doors at mechanical or s~edentary occupa-
ton, and by living in narrower apart.
ments with less fresh air than they would
nave had in the country. Having less phys
ical strength themselves, their offspring
also have less. We must not blame our
schools for this. But we may blame them
because they do not provide the best
physical as well as the best intellectual
training. Herald Of Health.

A RepIy to Atheism

New YORK. July 29.-The Rev. N.
b. Thompson preached this morning in
the Grand Opera House hall on The
Death of Courtlandt Palmer, the Free
thinker" He discussed Mr.. Palmer's
belief and reviewed the difference between
the death of a Christian and an atheist,
saying: He was overcome by death and
did not, as does the Christian in dying,
overcome death. By his death he gains
nothing. The Christian gains everything.
To do good Is a sublime ambition, and to
do good vas his religion. | don't know
what particular features of good his re-
ligion consisted of. Idon't know that it
was of a pronounced public character, but
| do know that it was truly good, and it
was eternal; for a kind word spoken, a
good act done, a shake of the hand en-
c%ouraging sympathy is a good that be-
gins here in life and goes on without end
into eternity, If atheism be true, fit be
a fact, as stated by Col. Ingersoll at the
funeral of Mr.. Palmer. that death is the
silent haven where the voyage of life
must end, then what a sad commentary
is life upon human affections. How
cruel that fate, irresistible in its approach,
by which the ties of human affection are
snapped and the cold verdict of the grave
is, oh, fools too long. -

In company with O friend | visited an
en~campment of Indians ut the Pipestone
quarries. Minnesota. and witnessed one
of the national feasts of the Sioux. The
Indians belonged to the Yankton tribe
and numbered about sixteen lodges, or
eighty people, including in their number
bucks, squaws, papooses, boys, girls, old
and feeble warriors, not counting the
large number of dogs. To many the In
dian cur would appear a worthless piece
of property. but at the feast in question
the most gaunt and hungry looking dog
of all played an important part. <
trench about three feet in length and one
foot in depth had been dug and into this
the lean old dog was placed and'covered
over with sticks, on which dirt was piled,
leaving the head only protrude. Two
days was he confined in this artificial
oven. At the expiration of the two days
the master of ceremonies, or medicine
man., pronounced all mystical rites prop.
erly observed and that 1t was time to
carry out the completing act. This was
done by removing the dirt and piling on
more sticks, covering the animal com
pletely. Fire is now applied to this heap
of ~brushwood and the once respectable
cur made a roast dog.
Upon our arrival the roasting had Just
been finished and the whole camp were
crowding around the smoldering embers
to get a portion Of the much priced
Medicine dog" which, when eaten, is
supposed to prolong life and to instin into
the ordinary savage the qualifications for
a warrior. While we were not altogether
welcome guests, courtesy seemed to forbid
the savage from ignoring US, which many
would have preferred to the dainty piece
of roast dog, offered first to me and then
my friend.
The medicine dog feast seems to be of
both medical and religious character, an
ancient custom to which the Indian clings
with tenacity.-C. j.. Crandell in Detroit
