Sunday-School Workers in Session at the

The Sunday school institute opened
last night OF the Baptist church with
a song service. conducted by Mr.. Ward.

paper, suggesting practical methods OF
securing attendance and attention in the

1.-THE scholars future, an argument for

The Ancients told the horoscope OF
OF their children's future by the stars
under which they were born. They
were often mistaken. We know better.
The star of fate that indicates the
future of the child is this early training.
The Sunday school teacher therefore
holds an important place in the infir-
ences going to determine his future and
all the more so as the bible, the source oi
all morals, history and and religious in
fluences is being more banished
from the day schools. Hence the Sun.
day school teacher should be faithful in
four particulars, /. 9.
l. Beget reverence and love for the
word. ......-
2. Give correct and harmonious in
depreciation for each book Of, as well as
for the whole bible.
3. Make it plain.
4. Do all prayerfully. Il
This evening Mr.. Ward gives a nor.
NAL lesson on the life OF Christ, using a
large colored chart. Every Sunday
school teacher should hear it. The
Sunday school superintendents will
then suggest ways to increase interest
and attendance OF pupils. Mr. Wards

The Admirable Policy OF Letting Oth<

The Admirable Policy OF Letting Other
Peoples Business Alone.
In many ways the United States
hes educated the world in politics,
and l, for one do not hesitate to say
that it's scheme of government is the
best that has ever been established by
a nation, says London Truth. But in
nothing do we owe more to the Ameri-
cans than for their having afforded us
the great object lesson of state pur-
suing the even current of its way with
out that meddling in the affairs of
other sta ties which has been the bane
of European powers. Here we have a
country, rich, powerful, industrial and
commercial, yet never troubling itself
with what happens outside its from
tiess, or annexing foreign lands on the
plea of philanthropy, or on the ground
that in some centuries its area will be
too small for its population, or in order
to create markets for its goods. And
what is the result? No one dreams of
attacking the United States or of pick
ing a quarrel with it. The lesson
to be learnt is that state should rest
satisfied with promoting The well-being
Of her own citizens and leave it to
other states to promote the well-being
of theirs. Can anyone conceive the
United States annexing jungles in the
center of Africa in the wild ezpecta-
ton that the inhabitants of the jungles
will be civilized and then cover their
nalzedness with American cotton goods
and cook their food in American pots
and pans?

Some Of the Speedy Acquaintances Formed
by Them.
Squirrels are charmed by a woman's
quiet manner and gentle voice. They
will learn to feed out of her hand, and
even to search her pockets for nuts
and bread crusts. A lady who was in
the habit of feeding the squirrels that
nested in her garden kept a china jar
of nuts on the mantlepiece. More than
once she was surprised to find the jar
emptied Of its contents. at last she
discovered that the squirrels came into
her room, lifted oil the lid and helped
themselves. A writer in the Argosy
tells what happened when the cage
door of a pet squirrel was left open.
A day or two afterward young
lady who was staying at the house
told US that our squirrel had run up to
her IN the gravel walk; and next morn
ing Charlie made his appearance at
the dining-room window. His visits
were repeated forseveral days. No at
tempt was made to capture him. He
ran about the room as if in search Of
something; and at last jumped on
canary's cage which hung in the win

upon my fetching it from the loft
where it had been put away Charlie
ran in, gave himself swing on the
roller, and ate the nuts we placed in
the tray.
1t is to be supposed that Charlie told
his friends that we were lovers of an
imals, and might be trusted; for other
squirrels frequently visited us, in the
house and in the grounds. Those were
the happy days-for quiet country
ladies-of croquet playing; and we had
q levelled ground in part of the fir
wood near the garden, where we often
spent the summer afternoons.
There the, squirrels were quite at
home, and would run up our mallets
and sit upon our shoulders, or even on
Che crowns OF our hats.
Some of our visitors they made &C
quaintance with Immediately, others
they always avoided. A little toy
terrier, with a bell attached to its col
lar, which the cunning little creature
used to try to silence, that it might
steal upon our favorites unheard, was
their peculiar aversion; but our own
pet Skye, st. Barbe, would let them
climb over his back and frolic about
him without stirring an inch.

A VIRGINIA MARVEL.
Crest Natural Icehouse on Stone Moul
tain. in Scott County.

Crest Natural Icehouse on Stone Noun
tain. in Scott County.
In the north side of Stone mountain,
six miles from the mouth of Stony
creek, in Scott county, Va, has been
discovered a natural icehouse on a
grand scale. One of tue old settlers
first discovered it about 1880, but
owing TO the fact that the land on
which it is situated could not be bought
he refused to tell its whereabouts and
would only take ice from it in case of
sickness.
He died, says the ST. Louis Republic,
without revealing the secret to even
his own family, and but for party OF
'seng' diggers entering the region it
might have remained a secret for gen.
erations, as it is situated on an unfre-
quented part Of the mountain.
The ice was only protected from the
rays of the sun by a thick growth of
moss resembling a texture. and like
the moss that can be seen dangling
from the oaks of Louisiana and Texas.
Its formation was after the fashion of
coal vein. being a few inches thick
IN some places, while several feet in
Others. The formation indicates that
1t had been spread over the surface in
liquid state and then CONCEALED. BY
what process it freezes or was frozen
is matter OF conjecture at this stage
of investigation. Some think that il
was formed IN the winter, and had
been protected since by the dense
growth of moss which covers it, while
the more plausible theory is that be-
meath the bed is situated a great
natural laboratory whose function is
formation OF ether. and the process Of
freezing goes steadily on through the
heat as well as the cold. The growth
OF moss resembles the hanging moss
around Hudson bay and indicates
rigid tempera ture. The bed covers
one acre and il it proves inexhaustible
It VIII be valuable, since it is located
near the Three C's railroad.
