The Ministering children's League.


The meeting of the Minisicring Gill.
dren's League will be recommended on
next Saturday afternoon, at o'clock at
st. Anne's Chapel. The Annapolis
Branch of this League which is not con-
fned TO any particular denomination was
put in operation early last Spring, for the
purpose of interesting young children in
Christian benevolent work. The plan of
operation is, that once each week the
children of the League and their teachers
meet together, and while they endeavor in
some way TO instruct or entertain the
children. the latter, are engaged in some
sort of needle work, the results of which
are sold at the close of the season. and
the proceeds devoted to some charitable
object.
The present object of the League in
Annapolis is the establishment of day
nurseries for white and colored children
separately, where the young children Of
women who 60 out to work by the day,
may be properly fed and cared for during
the absence of Their mothers. A very
encouraging beginning of the fund for
this purpose was made last spring, and ii
is hoped that before the end Of the present
season, enough money will be- in hand TO
begin the nurseries. The object must
commend itself TO all and we venture to
express our earnest wish for the entire
success and prosperity Of the League.

The way TO break up the bread trust is
for every woman to know how to make
her own bread. If every girl would re-
solve to marry no man who drinks intoxi-
cants and every other man would resolve
to marry no girl who cannot bake bread

Greenland whale fishing. The whales
are receding farther and farther into
the ice, where it is impossible 20
follow them. So far as can be
judged, there are probably no fewer
whales now than there were forty years
ago, but they are more inaccessible, as
they are being yearly frightened farther
back by the noise OF the steam engines.
Notwithstanding the greater difficulty of
penetrating the ice at such a time, a
s'close season" is welcome 10 the whale
fisher, for the whale will only appear in
the neighborhood Of field ice, and in open
seasons the ice is constantly broken up

are later in appearing than in others; but
the usual time is about May 20, and
from that time the fishing is prosecuted
till about the end Of June, when the
whales disappear.

lighting collieries and street lamps, but
for a good many years back they have
been principally employed by jute manu-
facturers for lubricating purposes. Since
the discovery of the great Russian petro-

The Clergyman and the Boys.

In Kansas town one of the churches
gave an Ice cream and strawberry festi-
val, the price of admission to which was
a dime; but the dime covered the privi-
lege of plate of ice cream in addition to
the admission. The idea in charging an
admission fee was TO exclude certain
boys who might possibly be rude, and
who were not likely TO have money
enough in their pockets to make them
large purchasers. Several boys hung
around the door begging for admission
without pay, but were refused. An
elderly clergyman who happened to see
the refusal quietly handed two of the
boys dime each, and told them to 90 in
and lie happy. Presenting their dimes
at the door, the boys were surprised TO
be refused again. Thedoorkeeper gruffly
remarked: ''G'way, boys, g'way: we
don't want no boys here" The elderly
clergyman, who is fond of bit of quiet
fun, then collected all the boys he could
find in the immediate neighborhood OF
the church. They numbered seven in
all, including the two originals. Several
Of them were barefoot, and none wore
full dress suits.
Being well known TO the people Of the
church, the old clergyman thought he
had right to invite such guests as he
pleased 70 the festival. So he marched
the boys in and paid their fare. The
dOorkeeper snarled as politely as he
could and said: ''We don't admit boys,
sir" Said the clergyman: These boys
are my guests; you will admit them IL
you admit me-" The whole party passed
In. Then the clergyman saw the boys
seated at a table and supplied with ice
cream. In order not 20 embarrass them
by his presence he retired and looked at
them through window while they en-
ioyed the feast. instead OF raising a
riot, as the church Leople had feared
that such boys would, they behaved
themselves as properly as any Of the
other patrons Of the festival. The clergy
man said that his little joke was worth
all the money It cost him; and that he
not only had the pleasure Of seeing the
youngsters enjoy their ice cream, but Of
teaching the cold hearted church people
useful lesson. Some day those boys
may be as important and as prominent
in society as any members of the church,
