Miss Misao Tsuni Hirate San, who
is the daughter of Japanese noble
man, came to this country four years
ago at the age of nineteen years. She
is now about to return home to work as
q Christian missionary among her coun-
trymen, notwithstanding the strenuous
opposition of her father.
One of the oldest uses of the Nicene
Creed is that which it is applied to by
the women of ancient Nic@e, where
the creed was in great part originally
formulated. They recite it after put
ting eggs in pot'to boil as a measure
of the time needed to cook them. 1t is
said that they do this without any idea
of irreverence.-The Churchman.
The building which Elder Alexan.
der Campbell, the founder of the Chris
tian or Campbellite denomination, first
preached in is still standing at Bethany.
w. Va. The Campbellites of Martins
vile, Ind, have decided to remove the
edifice intact, and place it on their as
sembly ground at Bethany Park, near
Brooklyn, where it can be preserved.
The latest report of the work of the
''Slum Evangels" in London shows that
the number Of workers has increased
from two to eighty. They give their
whole time to house-to-house vista
tions, to nursing the sick, feeding the
hungry and doing gospel work. Though
they were coolly received at first, they
succeeded in winning welcome from
those among whom they labor. In one
year more than hundred young wom-
en- were rescued and six thousand chill
aren were cared for.
Maria Housington, Springfield,
Mass, left $1,000 for the American
Board of Foreign Missions, $1,000 for
the New West Education Commission,
$500 to the Woman's Board of Missions,
$500 to the American Missionary AS
ISOLATION, and $500 to other missionary
work. All these bodies are largely en-
gagged in benefting women. The
women teachers who represent the New
West Education Commission in Utah
have manifested courage equal to any
recorded in the annals of woman's
heroism.
Miss Lillian Blanche Fearing, the
only lady in this years graduating
class at the Union College of Law,
Chicago, is entirely blind. During
the course her mother was her con-
slant companion, and read from the
books to her. Miss Fearing was one of
four students whose records were so
nearly equal that the committee ap-
pointed to award the scholarship prize
of fifty dollars decided to divide it
equally among the four. The blind
student has already been admitted to
the Illinois bar by the Supreme Court
at Springfield, and gives promise of
fession.
To speak in general way, neither
Elihu Yale nor John Harvard gave
enough money to the founding of a col
lege to support modern young gentle
man through his college course. Many
a senior has spent this year more money
than the $500 or the portion of half the

respectively devised to the institutions
which bear their names. But, as Lord
Coleridge said when he was on visit
to this country and was told that Wash
ington once threw a silver dollar across
the Potomac: Men could make dollar
go farther in those days than now."-

Our city school buildings should be
models of architecture. New York
should present to the world object les
sons that every body could copy. OF
course it would cost Let it cost We
can better afford to be extravagant here
than anywhere else. Look at many of
our churches. They are standing OBJ
ject-pictures to the whole country, the
best the world has ever seen. But we
can not say this about our school-houses.
In many respects they are the worst,
considering the vast number of children
to be cared for in them, and the results
demanded of their teachers. Y.
