In their protest against the Chinese
exclusion law the Chinese Civil Rights
league of New York declare that law to
be ''monstrous, inhuman and unconsti-
tutional." 1t was curious gathering
the meeting of the league members. 1t
was attended by hundred Chinese in
American dress. The president of the
meeting was DR.. Thoms, a Chinese physi-
clan who has an honorable reputation
for medical attachments in Brooklyn,
where he lives. White people call him
to attend them sometimes. He said in
his Introductory speech that the Chinese
were victims, and had been treated in
the United States with an inhumanity
not equaled by that received by the Jew
in Russia, yet the people of the United
States were among the first to protest
against the czars treatment of his
Hebrew subjects. Wong Chin Foo, the
learned Chinese who writes and reports
in the English language for the New
York Sun, said: "You have never known
the Chinese to kick till now. Show me
a Chinaman willing to work for as low
wages or live in such novels as the
Italian or Polish jew"

stili He Was Happy.

At one of the sessions of the st, Louis
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church Rev. DIR. Shumate, of Glasgow,
No., related the following anecdote,
which brought down the house: "Some
Methodists of an emotional type were
holding an old fashioned meeting in a
grove. Under the inspiration of hearty
singing and fervent prayers they became
shouting happy, and jumping up and
down like plantation negroes at revi.
val made the woods ring with 'hallelu.
iahs.' One man who was more demon
strative than the rest, and who wished
particularly to emphasize the fact that
religion agreed with him, kept waving
his arms in the air and exclaiming,
GLORY to God; I'm happyr
"In one of his sky sweeping gestures
he struck the limb of tree, knocking
down hornets nest. Some of the hor-
nets crawled up his pantaloons and
stung him. Clutching frantically at his
breeches he yelled: Brethren, there is
something on me, Yes, there is-there is
something ON me. But, glory to God, Pm

After all the time there was to make
ready for the visitation of cholera, which
was morally certain in the great seaport
of this country, the plague found the
port of New York not ready for it. There
was no place on land on which to quar-
antine passengers from the infected
steamers; consequently they were kept on
board, with some Of their fellow passen-
gers being ever and anon attacked with
cholera. 1t is possible, indeed probable,
that some of the immigrants that We're
stricken with the plague on shipboard
in New York harbor would have escaped
had they been taken off the vessel to
comfortable quarantine camp imme-
diately on their arrival. Now, however,
the warning note has been sounded. II
the country has not been thoroughly
cleaned up and rigid sanitary regulations
are not established everywhere before
the coming of warm weather next year,
then there will be criminal carelessness.
1t is possible for this whole country to
escape with only light visitation of the
pestilence next year. if indeed it be not
possible to keep it out altogether. There
will be no Worlds fair if the cholera
gets foothold in America next summer.

A Question for Women's Clubs.

The New York Herald has sprung an
important question on the industrial and
domestic world both. 1t is practically
this: If husband is too poor to keep
hired girl, which will conduce most to
the highest domestic happiness-for the
wife to do her own Homework, or to
earn money enough herself to pay girl
for doing the homework? Mrs Mildred
Atkins Warner says emphatically that
it is better for her to earn money and
hire somebody else; then she will not be
tired to death evenings. She will have
at least little time to greet her hus-
band with smile, and make both hus-
band and children look up to her as
something else than a mere domestic
slave. She will have time to go in for
the aesthetic side of civilization, higher
education, pretty clothes, etc.
There is one point, however, which
Mrs. Warner seems afraid to meet fully.
She says it would be reflection on a
iie'Ai . oDiiioy w ouPpoiu Iio Idullly IL ~
should be known that his wife earned
money. Therefore she is of opinion
that a money earning wife should earn
it at home ON the sly, unbeknown to
the public, as it were. But really,
now, what is the use of humbug, or
must women be always trying to hum
bug somebody, whatever they go about?
1t is to be considered that the conditions
of life and society are so changed that
we now need to satisfy our civilized
longings at least four times as much
as the people of half century ago
did. 1t is not always within reach
of the best of husbands to supply these
needs Is it anything against him, or
her either, that his wife earns money if
she wants to and needs to? And if at
all, then why not squarely and openly?
We pause for answer.

Indian Schools.

At last the government has found out
what to do with the Indian, 1t is to edu-
cate him and give him industrial train
ing and farm, and then let him scrab-
BILE for himself or starve. He does not
starve,
In April, 1873, seventeen Indian war
riors, who had been captured while ON a
raid, We're sent to the government school
for freedmen at Hampton, Va, perhaps
to punish them in the worst possible
way, This was the beginning of govern
ment Indian schools, An appropriation
of 1900 had been made the previous
year for educating Indians, The APP
preparations have increased almost stead
lily from year to year till for 1892 Sc, 291,-
$50 were set apart for this purpose, From
the seventeen braves sentenced to the
freedmen's school at Hampton in 1878
there are now 4,660 pupils in the various
Indian schools that receive government
aid.
There are now in operation and to be
opened Immediately seventeen national
training schools for Indian youth. All
are open to boys and girls, thus instill-
ing into the plastic youthful redskin
mind the idea of coeducation and equal
capacity of the sexes. The institutions
are in the four quarters of the Union
from North Dakota to Arizona; from
Carlisle, Pa, to California. The pioneer
government school especially for these
students was established at Carlisle, Pa,
in 1879. The Indian schools are the
especial pets of the interior department,
and the fostering care bestowed on them
has not been in vain.
The largest Indian school is that at
Carlisle, where there are now 1000 pu-
pills. The second largest is Haskell in
stitute, Lawrence, Kan, with 600 pupils.
The instruction is practically the same
in all. The true idea of Indian educa-
ton is of course primarily industrial
training. AT Haskell the student spends
half the day in getting book learning,
the other half in learning how to work.
The farm occupied by the institution
was gift from the citizens of Lawrence.
1t contains $50 acres. The red youth do
not learn as rapidly as white children,
but they do learn, with painstaking care,
and retain what they receive. They are
quieter than white children. Even when
the boys play ball they do it in silence
not splitting the air with yells. They
excel in the athletic training naturally.

Josh Had a Chill.

When the cholera came to San Fran
cisco in 1851, Josh Ravens, well
known citizen of those days, suffered a
bad attack of cholera scare. He pur-
chased the first day a large bottle of
cholera preventive" recommended to
him by some one, and put it in his coat
tail pocket, but while seated in the office
of friend, discussing the plague, Ha-
vens suddenly arose, turned pale and
rushed for the Office of DIR. Hastings, a
well known physician of that time.
Doctor" said he, sis local chill sign
of cholera?' Where is your local
chilli" inquired the medico. Josh indi-
Gated the neighborhood of his pistol
pocket. The doctor placed him on a
surgical table and made an examina-
ton, but the ''local chill" was found to
be due to the cholera medicine, on
which the terrified Ravens had incau-
tiously sat.--San Francisco Argonaut.

Nothing in 1t.

That is to say, from the commercial
point of view. Lieutenant Peary thinks
there is no money to be made by the
conquest of the north pole, and if a
short northwest passage through to
Asia does exist it will not be of any
practical use. Nevertheless, from the
scientific standpoint, the north pole ex-
petition is exceedingly interesting, and
Peary will go again if he can arrange
matters. So he says.
There is no doubt but he has estab-
lished the northern coast of Greenland.
1t can be predicted almost with GER
tainty, too, that the Nineteenth century
will not close till the dream of a thou
sand years-the setting foot upon the
north pole itself-shall have been &C
complished. This conquest remains yet
before the indomitable Anglo-Saxon-
let us say the American Anglo-Saxon-
as the accomplished task on which the
sun of the Twentieth century shall rise.
One feature of the long stay in the
arctic regions is remarkable. That is
the absence of illness, accident or phys
ical suffering among the explorers.
Heretofore the story of the arctic trav-
eler has been one of fearful suffering,
attended in all cases with loss of life.
This time there was no illness, and only
one man was lost, who, the party have
made up their minds, lost himself by de-
sign. He told them if he did not return
in four days not to look for him. Never
theless they did wait and search week,
delaying their trip southwark as long as
they dared. They left food for year
and half at the camping ground for
him. Many persons, including men,
bers of his own family, believe him yet
alive.
OF course next summer trip will be
made to find him. A white man lost at
the north pole will be a fact with ro-
mantle interest attached to it. This in
terest will draw adventures 70 the
north Greenland coast till the fate of
Verhoeff is definitely ascertained. The
man who finds him will be the hero of
the hour, as Stanley was after he found
Livingstone in Africa.
One other fact useful for north pole
explorers was ascertained beyond ques-
ton. 1t was that the best way to accom-
plish exploration is to travel light, with
as little luggage as possible, having the
rear covered by frequent supply stations.

Eyaporated PUN plxin.

Pumpkins, when stored in cool place
and where they will not freeze, may be
kept in good condition for use for some
months, but not SO long as when dried
or evaporated. When one wishes to pre-
serve a few beyond their natural limits
it can be readily done by cutting them
into rings or thin slices and pairing off
the outside and inside, leaving only the
edible part to evapofate. These are then
placed in an evaporation or closet fruit
dryer, or where no appliances for the
purpose are ut hand, may be dried by
exposure to the heat of the sun. In the
latter case, as with fruit dried in the
same manner, the process Isl longer one
than by artificial heat, and, further
more, requires protection from flies by
some kind of thin covering.

When Seward Was Little Known.


William II. Seward used to tell o
story that seemed to give him great Joy
to repeat. When he was member OF
the state senate the first time he re
ceived message from one of the most
distinguished politicians in New York
asking for an interview. Mr.. Seward
felt pleased to be honored thus, and
which consisted of blue broadcloth
coat, cut swallow tail fashion, light col
ored trousers strapped over the CATERS
a very high dickey collar and stiff stock
and bell crowned beaver hat, he went
to call on the distinguished man. He
was received in the parlor, and the poll
tician, while courteous, was cold and
distant, treating him with the utmost
formality. Mr.. Seward said, II thought
perhaps you had some special business
with me-"
mo, sir; l do not think of any-ir
fact, ] supposed you were paying me
call of mere respect"
"But | received message from YOU
81 do not remember to have sent one.
am expecting this afternoon visit
from Senator Seward. Maybe my re.
quest has miscarried. l did not catch
your name"
"Why, am Senator Seward, gen.
eral."
The politician arose from his seat,
went toward Seward, put his hands on
his shoulders and said: "Well, senator,
you will pardon me, know. supposed
you were a young beau who had called
with a lurking desire to meet my daugh.
ter. Let me apologize by saying that
you have indeed an old head on young
shoulders"
Then he abandoned his formal man.
