A Curious Salvage Case.

Perhaps the most curious salvage case
on record is that of the ship Two Friends,
which stranded on the coast of Cuba and
was abandoned by her crew. Another
ship, the John Blake, met similar fate,
and her crew, in attempting to find q
landing place, came across the Tive
Friends, which they managed to get of
and to navigate to England without fur,
Their mishap. The judge who tried tbs
ease decided that salvage services had
been rendered, but of only ordinary diff
entity and merit, inasmuch rs the crew
of the John Blake salved the Two
Friends in order to save their own lives
The owners of the John Blake of courst

Educate children to High Ideals.

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, alas! poison the
lives of the little ones at the fountain.
A grand life, a brave example, SPLEEN
did instance of fortitude, of self abnega-
ton, of courage against odds is never in
vain. 1t is an object lesson that flames
out from the sky, as the planet amid the
host of lesser stars. Whether it be an
arctic or an African explorer, the leader
of 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 in
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.

Powerful Indian Air Guns.

Tho Indians along the Mirida river
hunt with blow guns made out of the
young stalks of certain kind of palm,
from which the pith is removed. The
arrows employed as proiectiles are sim
ply splinters of reed. sharpened at one
end the other end being wrapped with
enough silk cotton obtained from another
kind of palm to fill up the bore of the
blow gun. The arrows are about ten
inches long and very light. They are
tipped with the famous and deadly
"woorari' poison.
Used by one of these naked savages
the blow gun is weapon of great accu.

on a treetop being brought down by the
skilled shooter with reasonable certainty

a COSMOPOLITAN SCHOOL.

a Queer Mixture Of Children In One OF
New Yorkss Big School Buildings
Until about year ago the principal
of ward school No 90, New York, did
not realize what a 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 thore were in his school
no less than twenty-seven different ma
tionalities, speaking about twenty-five
dialects. He found that of these sixteen
were in the primary department alone.
So not long afterward he arranged q
novel feature to one OF the school enter
tainments. At q 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 were
astonished. They recognized half q
dozen flags well known as the banners
of European nations Italian, German,
Spanish, French, Swiss and the like.
Then they saw nearly q dozen others,
recognizable from theirshapes and colors
and designs as the banners of barbaric
or semibarbario countries, known to us
IN vague way as heather.
When these children, none being un-
der five years of age, first come to this
school they are foreigners to the 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 the
stamp Of America, and that so out 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'Neill
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 Of
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
