IN LITTLE FOLKS EYES.


How strange 1t would be il the pixies can't
down,
And set up shop In tho midst OF our town:
And sold TO us spectacles, through which the
guisc
or all things would seem as in little folks eyes
In little folks eyes, oh, what dreams will come
true.
How long is n lifctimel What things one win
dol
How wealthy one is with purse OF small size;
For pennies are dollars--in little folks cycs
How easy IL is from all danger TO flee
To harbor of safety, on somebody's kncei
How quickly soft kisses and low lullabies
VIII clear away troublc-in little folks eyes.
Such wee clouds Of darkness make everywhere
night,
Such wee glints OF sunshine make everything
bright
And birthdays come slowly, for time seldom
flies
But crawls toward the futurc-in little folks
eyes.
What great world OF singers we'd have before

If these magical glasses were sold for song
oh, clowns are so funny, and sages so wise,
And hearts arc so honest-in little folks eyes!

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

It Is Politically us Well rs Conn rcially
Important to this Country.
The assertion is sometimes made that
the Nicaragua canal will not benefit us
in regard to the increase of the number
of our ships, and this assertion is based
ON the fact that Fra nee failed to add
single ship to her carrying fleet by the
completion of the Suez canal, built by
French engineering, French enterprise
and French capital. This fact is brought
forward as a lesson in history which we
must bear in mi nd when we are asked
to consider the Nicaragua canal ques-
ton as an element in the develo pement
of our commerce.
At the present day the Suez canal is
chiefly devoted to the carrying .rade of
England, and England owns fighting
interest in the stock.
We hold in regard to the Nicaragua
canal that the United States will, no
matter who builds it, take the same
position that England could not fail to
attain in the use of the Suez canal. En-
gland possesses an immense, fourishing
and steadily increasing commerce in the
east, while the commercial possessions
of France there are comparatively
| small.
Like England in the east we have ex-
tensive possessions in the west on our
Pacific shore, California, Oregon, Wash
ington and Alaska, all very fourishing,
while their productiveness is steadily
increasing. 1t must, without fail,
stimulate our ship-building trade when
by shorter and safer transit the
mutual commerce will receive most
powerful impulse. All the European
ocean faring nations are even more
| interested in the Nicaragua canal than
in the Suez canal, because by passing it
they will avoid the stormy ocean of the
extreme southerly coast of South Amer
lea, the sail ing round which is great
deal worse tn an sailing around the Cape
of Good Hope.
There ought to be no doubt that our
government will assist the enterprise.
1t is in duty bound to do so. Even in
the view of national defense we must
have shorter waterway for more rapid
and safer navigation between our ex-
.tensive eastern Atlantic and western
Pacific shore, and so dispense with the
delay and danger of IA long, round
about way of sailing around the whole
South American continent over the two
grand oceans of our globe.

surer, teacher, and an untiring worker
In all. By her efforts, supplemented
by those of her noble husband, DR.. j. S.
Meyer, this wonderful work was organ
lied and carried on from mustard-seed
beginning of four students six years
ago to it's present proportions of lis
pupils, two large buildings here and the
Wesley hospital on the South side,
nearly 500 young women sent to labor
in the vineyard, besides the remarka-
BILE record of having aided 81 and COM
pletely equipped IS of the 81 deaconess
homes in existence.
This was accomplished in large
measure, in it's beginning at least, by
the same bright idea that Miss Willard
later turned to account in securing by
penny banks the great sum of money
to build the Woman's temple.
Small collection books were scattered
broadcast through the land, each con-
tanning a clipping from one Of Mrs.
Meyers papers read before preachers
meeting, when she was agitating the
deaconess movement. The clipping
read:
"Can o twenty-five thousand dollar home be
built out of nickels2 That sum would give US o
home, large enough for q few years, In .
healthy location in this CITY, yet near enough to
the crowded and degraded localities TO Aurnish
abundant opportunity for practical work.
There are one million women In the Methodist
Episcopal church OF the United States to-day.
Some one pleads for penny q day from each Of
these women for the cause OF missions. would
not ask that-three hundred and sixty-fve
cents every Sear-but five cents from
each, not once day. or once year, but
once life timc-flve cents. the despiscd nickel,
that VIC hand out SO readily for street-car fare
or the daily paper-and fifty thousand dollars,
twice tho amount asked Tor, would be In our
hands for this buildingl"
There was, as in Miss Willard's case,
a generous response, and since by solic-
itations, lectures and procuring other
subscriptions the present property be-
longing to the home, amounting to s64,-
600, was acquired. The services of all
the teachers, resident and nonresident,
including the principal herself, Mrs.
Meyer, and the business superintendent,
her husband, are gratuitous.
OF the teachers and directors, eight
are resident and thirty are nonresident.
A word may here be said of Miss Eva
Gregg, a young woman who entered the
school little over two years ago, after
graduating at the Iowa Wesleyan uni
versity at Mount Pleasant, Ia, and who
Is such an untiring worker in the cause
and proved SO efficient that last year
she was made assistant principal

rare smile. 4'But God blessed the seed
and caused the harvest and not l. You
see," turning again to the visitors, 1--WE
saw such need for better Bible educa-
ton on the part Of our young people.
During the three or four years of my
travelling Sunday-school work in Illi-
nois and other states, / became greatly
impressed with the astonishing, and to
me alarming, ignorance of the Bible on
the part of our church people, Sunday
school teachers and Christian workers.
My own knowledge of the Word of
God was superficial enough, but when I
saw people looking for Jude in the Old
Testament or for one of the minor
prophets in the new, / realized the
great need of more thorough and com
prehensive Bible study on the part Of
those who were or might become re-
hgious teachers"
"Then, too" remarked Dr. Meyer,
who had come in at the dismissal of the
noon class, "she had seen how many
of the workers in the field, both at
home and in foreign lands, had failed
through lack of knowledge of ways to
act and how to meet emergencies They
had met with many things they did not
expect, and grown faint-hearted be-
cause of them Here may be secured
thorough training in Bible study,
nursing the sick, house-to-house vista
ton, Sunday-school work and all the
many branches of religious teaching"
Producing here the annual report of
the school, he showed with great pride
what he considered all the work of his
wife, keeping himself generously in the
background.
The report showed over 1000 calls
made in the work, more than that num-
Der of tracts distributed, and over 12, 2,001
children taught in the Sabbath school,
over 5000 in the industrial school, be-
sides numberless cases Of distress and
destitution relieved the count of which
they left with the All-seeing Eye.
The young ladies in the school are re-
| quired to be over twenty years of age,
to furnish few articles necessary to
the equipment of their rooms, to pay $s
a week for board, lights and fuel, the
house being heated by steam and Lit by
gas. This, excepting S. or $40 for the
years books, is all the expense neces-
sary, no charge being made for tuition.
In addition to this, each lady is ex-
pected to assume her share of the gen.
eral light house work of the home, the
time allotted to each girl being one hour
daily, except in case of sickness or great
emergency. Those who desire Co be
excused from the hour of house work on
account of health, or for any reason, pay
IS weekly instead of So.
The students of the school do not
wear uniform, only the deaconesses
and the nurses being required to do so.
Deaconesses are of two kinds-nurses
and visitors or evangelists. Both are
educated fully in Bible doctrines. The
training usually occupies two years
the course beginning in September and
ending in May.

canvas hinges from stem to stern, and
the daring Captain writes by an in
coming ship (when he is hundreds of
miles from shore) that he finds the
'Sapolio' in q sea-way is scrubber
GOODNESS and pluck could be given.
The start was made at 4:30 Wednes-
day, July Goth, the destination being
Palos, Spain. Capt Andrews has in
structions to scour the seas until he
discovers that port and the starting
point of Columbus. 1t is believed that,
sailing in a fourteen foot boat without
SO much as hot cup of coffee to vary
his diet of biscuits and canned goods, he
will, single-handcd eclipse the record
of that Spanish-Italian advcnturer who
almost failed to cross the great ocean
with three ships, $50 men, after secur-
ing the Queens jewels to pawn and
having the blessing of the Church
thrown in. This Columbus is sailing in
a boat which had never been in water
until the hour when he started on his
1000 mile trip. He has been spoken
in mid-ocean several times, scorning all
assistance and confident of ultimate
success. His effort should interest all
Americans as n test of pluck, endurance
and good seamanship. That it is not
foolhardy affair is proved by his for
mer success and by the notable trip in
which he battled for siXty-two days
without reaching the other side Thou
sands of people saw the start, his pres
ence at different points on the ocean
has been NOTED by large numbers of
vessels, and his landing on the other
side will no doubt be made u matter of
public demonstration and rejoicing AS
he sailed from the pier he said, ''In
sixty days / will be in Spain," and up
to the last reports he had made better
time than he anticipated. Every day
during the voyage n bottle will be
thrown overheard noting the location
and other information about the trip.
If Capt. Andrews succeeds in reach
ing Spain and joining in the October
celebrations which will be held in
honor of the discovery of America, he
will then return in one of the great
steamers and arrange to exhibit his
boat and the log which he writes up
day by day, Mt the Worlds Fair in Chi
cago, where he will be one of the fea-
lures of the magnificent display which
the manufacturers Of Sapolio are now
perfecting. The assurance, we might
almost say the impudence, of these ag-
gressive manufacturers in securing a
Columbus of their OWNS probably with
out precedent in advertising.

day his thoughts ran on. though his
work never faltercd. If only the Win
throps hadn't turned their place into a
summer resort last year, verything
might be as it was in those delightful
days, which seemed now like past Ar
cadia. Never had the meadows and
orchards looked so beautiful-never
had the wild flowers and ferns grown
as they had when he and Hetty, free
and unconstrained, wandered together
to the woods, or, mounted on their
fleet horses, dashed down the road for
"a canter. Every day was full of
Hetty. His work was planned to give
Ghe evenings to her, and he had hoped
chat she, child as she was. was learn
ing to care for HIM. The Stantields
lived the simplest of lives, and
: Hetty had been brought up to
Aend Il hand to all kinds of domestic
duties. But now since summer board
ers invaded their beautiful country side
all was changed. Innocent, industrious,
simple-hearted Hetty no longer cared
Sor such quiet, even round of duties
and pleasures, as had hitherto been her
- lot. How soon she had become inti-
mate with the Carriers and Walls. How
quickly She had learned new ways and
those coquettish turns of her pretty
head, and that little trick she had OF
dropping her eyes and raising them,
which seemed nowadays more con-
scious than of old! Then how quickly
she had learned to dance! And what a
belle she had been at the parties at
Winthrops'! And here it was June
again, and already the seasons raid
upon Winthrops' had begun. But
Hetty still fingered in the city with her
new friends, the Walls. And handsome
Arthur Vail was, he supposed, her
faithful shadow, and in the same city
was that cool, cynical Philip Carter
who had paid the little country girl so
much attention. He supposed they
would all come back-Hctty among
them-but why did he want her to
come? He surely did not enjoy heart
ache and maddening doubts and con-
stant pain-oh. why couldn't he give
her up? His work was farmers and
if Hetty longcd for a more varied and
changeful life, and cared for men more
polished and vcrsed in the worlds ways
than he, why couldn't he let her go, and
settle down to his loved domain and
,be content?
Now, mother, your lawn is i'm
proved, and Jake must run over it with
the mower, and the grass sha' MT get so
tall again." he said.

with contrary winds, high seas and ter
rifle storms, he reluctantly consented to
give up his efforts after sttuggle of
siXty-two days, and returned to Ameri-
ca on n bark which kindly consented to
take him and his sea beaten boat back
to New York.
The captain is very interesting char
acter. He is man of fixed purposes,
very hard to turn fromthe object which
he has in view. He has made the sub
jcct of small boat sailing such study
that he is prepared to meet every arg,,-
ment against the risks which spring to
the minds of his critics, yet the New
York Herald put the case in nutshell
when it said: THE fact that Capt. An
drews can cross the ocean in cookie
shell merely proves that small boats are
safe when Capt. Andrews sails them.
Amateurs should remember this when
the wind begins to sing"
The captain himself says that "half
the people who are drowned lose their
lives because they do not realize that a
boat cannot sink. An iron vessel might,
or ship loaded with heavy cargo,
but row boat, sail boat or ordinary
wooden vessel may capsize, but will,
nevertheless, float. The passengers on
the great ocean steamers run some risk
when they go tossea, but all around the
deck they see wooden boats hung up on
which they are taught to depend for
their lives if the big steamer goes down.
These boats are often crushed against
the great vessel or are capsized in
lowering. / am alone in a wooden boat
entirely under my own control, and, in
my opinion, far safer than Others" An
ingenious theory but hardly fair one
Capt. Andrews is by trade piano
maker. He built the "Sapolio" at At
lantic City in the presence of hundreds
of people, and exhibited it on the Long
Pier for several weeks. 1t is n canvas

AS he looked into her eyes the celor
flashed into her face. Il thought
thought you were dead" she faltered
and turned away. Nathaniel was not
yet sure whether he We're on earth or
in heaven, but he was Il man, and the
sight of Hetty's agitation decided him
to follow up his advantage. He seized
her hand. "Hetty, did you care?" he
demanded.
"Of course / cared; haven't we been
friends all our lives?" she asked, re-
proachfully, and trying to withdraw
her hand.
But he held it fast. "Tell me, are
you to marry Arthur Vail or Carter?"
he questioned, eagerly.
Tell me, are you to marry Miss
Eleanor?" Hetty asked, saucily, for
answer.
"Oh, that is nonsense-you know
very we'll that | never cared for anyone
but you, Hetty; but you are so changed,
you seemed so tired of our country
life" A sharp pain in his ankle made
him pause. He knew now that he was
still on earth, yet even the pain
seemed as nothing to Hetty's reply:
II thought you had tired of me; you
know | am not clever or wise, and
there were others who could talk to
you so much BETTER" faltered Hetty
with downcast eyes.
Nathaniel's eyes opened wide in
genuine astonishmcSt: why, Hetty!
l supposed you always knew that
loved you, but l thought you liked
fhnca ,t1 FoI L.. Il .J
can't care for me now, just let us go
back to those old days when we were
such good comrades, and perhaps in
time you might care for me; do you
think you could, Hetty?"
Again the lovely eyes were DOWN
cast. No, couldn't" murmurcd the
girl.
''Oh, Hetty"
"Bccause-oh, Nat, you are so stupid
for such u great splendid fellow-bs-
cause love you already"
'Oh, Hetty!" But in what differ
cnt way that same exclamation can be
uttered!

home, as he had met with an accident

in her fern hun. to the spot where
Nathaniel lay helpless.
