Ignorant savages swept Away by Strong

sionary for twenty-five years in the
south Sea islands, upon Religion and
Rum in the South Seas. After giving
! deeply interesting account of the
progress of missionary work among the
natives. fourteen thousand of whom
had been converted from savagery to
civilization, he said in part:
after God had produced such re-
markable change in these people. they
are being swept away by liquor

of their own accord they give up their
native drinks and pipes and tobacco.
when the traders introduced their
liquor. the church asked me about it.
After two weeks of prayer they all
said they would be total abstainers,
and would keep liquor of the island.
For three years there has been no fall
ing back.
''Now that life and property have be-
come safe, the traders. chiefly French
and German, come down on all sides.
Many murders and suicides occur
among the traders from drinking, as
well as among the natives. Britain has
forbidden her traders to give the ma.
tives liquor or firearms. France and
Germany will agree to do the same If
America viii but agree to it also but
America holds back.
"A slave trade is springing up which
has taken away seventy thousand from
one group alone. The natives plead
with England to annex them. but Eng.
land will not, because France threatens
to fight and unload her convicts there
Meanwhile we attend to our work.

How the Children Helped Their Father to
Irrigate His Farm.


An English writer on inventive gent.

gust Pirch, who is the happy possessor
Of a dozen fine healthy children. Mr..
Pirch, so the story goes, had tract Of
land that could not be used for the
want of water. since il was far from
any availa bile stream or other body
which might prove of use in the fertili-
cation of his acres. and how to irrigate
the land without spending a large sum
Of money was mystery which for a
long time Mr.. Pirch could not solve.
He figured out the cost of we'll. and
found out that his resources would per-
init of his digging a sixty-foot well
and the purchase of a cheap pump. but
how to make the pump work was a
question. Suddenly his inventive mind
suggested solution He remember

had seenin a neighboring town. lie knew

In five minutes the children were fly-
ing backward and forward through the
air. The pump worked up and down
gaily as You please, and a fourteen
inch stream of water flowed from the
we'll Mr.. Pirch's scheme had worked.
The children do not know that they are
working. as the swing is some distance
from the well. and is connected with il
