Educate chlldren to nlrh raenl..

We are too ready to impart instruc-
ton to children from low moods and ON
a low plane, because we do not ourselves
habitually dwell in the latitude of the
uplands. Motives of policy, Of vanity,
of seeming instead of being right, enter
into our own lives and, alasi poison the
lives of the little ones at the fountain.
A grand life, brave example, splen-
did instance of fortitude, of self abnega-
ton, of courage against odds Ia never in
vain. 1t is an object lesson that flames
out from the sky, as the planet amid the
host of lesser stars. Whether il be an
arctic or an African explorer, the leader
of a forlorn hope, the missionary living
among the island lepers, or the army
nurse, leaving home and luxury TO min
lister to the wounded and soothe the
dying, the noble ideal is uplifted before
the eyes of those who are yet in the i'm
itial stages, and whose characters are
not yet in the mold of destiny.
This thought of the lofty ideal gives
the chief value of our annual Decoration
Day, giving us pause amid the pomp and
ease of peace, that we may think not OF
the pageantry of war, but of its suffer
ings, its fever and thirst, its rigors Of
cold and furnace heats, its weary
marches, fierce battles and the patriot
ism which alone condones its hitter woe
and the mourning that follows In its
track.-Harper's Bazaar.

A COSMOPOLITAN SCHOOL.
Queer Mixture of ChIIdren I'm One oe
New York's Big school Buiidinwa.

a Queer Mixture of ChIIdrcn In One of
New Nerk's Big school Buildings.
Until about ycs ago the principal
OF ward school No %, New York, did
not realize what queer lot of pupils he
had, although he had sometimes laughed
over the strange collection of names
upon the rolls. A year ago he took q
census and carefully traced out the
exact part of the earth from which the
parents of each of his pupils had come.
He found that there were in his school
no less than twenty-seven different ma
tionalities, speaking about twenty-five
languages other than English and its
dialects. He found that of these sixteen
We're in the primary department alone.
So not long afterward he arranged q
novel feature TO one Of the school enter
tainments. At certain place in the
programme each child arose, holding
in his or her hands two flags. One'was
the American flag, the other the flag OF
the nation from which the father had
come. The visitors TO the school wero
astonished. They recognized half .
dozen flags well known as the banners
OF European nations-Italian, German,
Spanish, French, Swiss and the like.
Then they saw nearly dozen others,
recognizable from theirs shapes and colors
and designs as the banners of barbaric
or semibarbaric countries. known 10 us
in vague way as heathen.
When these children. none being un-
der five years of age, first come to this
school they are foreigners to tho very
core. They speak the language of their
fathers, and perhaps have never even
heard the sound of an English word.
They are OF the country from which
their parents came both in customs and
ideas. Their clothing alone bears tho
stamp of America, and that so ont of ac-
cord with their faces and expressions
that they seem i'll at ease, and even more
poorly clad than they really are. They
enter the primary department. And
here it may be said that, although the
youngest are five years old, the ages OF
many extend upward toward eighteen
and twenty years.
1t is the business of Miss Rose O'Neiil
and her seven assistants to teach these
children the English language, and then
to make American children out of them.
Go into the school at the beginning ot
the school year, and you will think the
task hopeless, impossible. Come back
at the end of six months, and If you
close your eyes and listen to the reading
exercises You will not be able TO dis
tinguish Chinese child or Arab child or
Tunisian child from the few pure blood
ed Americans who form the curiosities
of the school. Then you will wonder
how the miracle has been performed

The Indians along the Mirida river

arrows employed as projectiles are sizn-

enough silk cotton obtained from another

Although very few of the gentlemen

privilege of that place visits the sane

house or senate every day, and does
more or less work there. The rooms in

respondents here who are doing excel
lent work for leading democratic pa
pers. who are at the same time repre-
scnting with equal ability several re-
publican papers. They are equipped
for the kind Of service rendered and
they render it with utter Indifference
as far as their own personal feelings arc
concerned in the matter. Moreover l
have been informed that the pa
pers thus represented consider them
selves better and more fairly represent
cd than they would be by men OF
strong partisan prejuGices. 1t is sing
ular thing, but it is true, and the aver
age reader will find it hard to under
stand how such things can be. AS an
illustration of this fact it may be said
that during the turbulent, exciting ana
revolutionary scenes in the house Of
representatives during the Fifty frs'
congress, when all presidents were
laid aside and new rules for the govern
ment of that parliamentary body were
established. the speaker was criticised
most severely by certain republican
correspondents who represented dc mo
cratic papers, which several dcmocr attic
correspondents who represented repub-
lican papers were equally severe in
their criticisms of Mr.. Mills, Mr..
Springer, Mr.. Brec linridge aud other
leaders of the minority.
While the statesmen in both houses
of congress have an idea that ncwspa-
per men make and unmake men, 10
such belief is cherished in the press
gallery. The most experienced newspa-
per men believe that while they can be
helpful in building up good men and
useful in pulling down bad men, they
are utterly powerless to injure Il truly
good man, If they should so desire. A
statesman who attends to the duties
whcrcto lie has been sent, needs never
fear the most virulent criticism OF any
writer on earth. But l have noticed
that those gentlemen who are most
kindly disposed towards the gentlemen
of the press remain longest in public
life. For example: Senators Allison. OF
Iowa; the late Senator Plumb, of Kan
sas; Senators Cockrcl! and Vest, of
Missouri; Senator Ransom, of North
Carolina; Senator Frye, of Maine. arc
all gentlemen, especially well disposed
towards the news gatherers. young as
well as old. Mr.. Reed, of Maine; Mr..
Springer, of Illinois; Mr.. Crisp, OF
Georgia; Mr.. Henderson, Of Illinois.
these, and many other public men who
have served their people long and well,
are and always have been good and
kindly news-givers. Therefore, their
constituents read many good things
concerning them, but never see any.
