The last meal of the day is followed by Divine worship in the chapel, in which some of the children manifest remark able interest. Only cynic would be dis posed to sheer at the fact that groups of children have been seen in quiet hooks holding a little prayer meeting of their own. The Christian Endeavot movement is largely responsible for this expression of early piety, in the con temptation of which it is nothing sur prising that praying and singing boys and girls are never so scarce among the inmates of the home as to necessitate adults conducting the evening meeting without help from the children. Dr. Klopsch conducts a service on Sunday, when clerical friend is apt to drop in and talk to his interesting congrega ton. While care is taken not to bore the inmates with instruction, secular or religious, recreation, not teaching, be- ing the leading object of the institution, opportunities are improved of telling stories and gratifying the desire for in formation.
 The day ends when each caretal1er marches her little flock to it's proper dormitofy. All kneeling, a prayer is said simultaneously after the young woman in charge. Many of the children fall asleep immediately after getting into bed, but others, such is the force of habit, remain wakeful until the same unreasonable hour as in the life at home ia, ha of when weary, but sleepless, that home sickness comes to some of the children |, as a rule, upon those who need the be- nefcent influences of the home the most; for it is found that children be- longing to well-ordered families are in a condition to derive the fullest ad vantage from their stay. In almost every case of evening homesickness it is found that morning brings that elas tic freshness of spirit which forgets care and enjoys the present. Bad cases of homesickness are rare and seldom call for an earlier return to New York than after the usual term of the visit
 A day with the boys and girls at Nyack is a memory to be cherished long and lovingly. Perhaps no other city than New York could send an equal number of children representing so great a' a'variety of race and nationality: but this element of interest is of less fm- portance than the common responsive appreciation on the part of the little ones of the familiar kindness with which they are treated.

slze and massive woodwork suggest the comfort of colonial days This struc- ture near the entrance to the grounds. is the chapel, so called because religious services are held in it, and, may ven- ture to say, not less sacred than it is also the place of assembly for entertain ments. A portion of the building is set apart for dormitories. Back of it is the swimming pool, covered by a tent, where, at stated times, parties of boys or girls are instructed how to be at home in the water, arrangements for an abundant supply of which are indicated iE the distance by an engine and pump ing apparatus. ca Saturdays, Dr. Louis Klopsch. patron of the home, superin- tends the sports in which the inmates delight, and distributes prizes to the successful competitors.
 My fair companion and I return to the piazza of the main building. She pulls the bell and the children troop up to be ranged in line for their march to the chapel, where an entertainment is to be given, a daily event of the fore noon. The procession of boys is headed by "Frenehy," whose accomplishments include the ability to drum with ae- curacy. His paper-decked hat and bare legs and feet don't seem to impair at all his sense of the dignity Of his office.
 Within few minutes all are seated in an orderly array, the girls on one side of the chapel, the boys on the other My informing young woman has charge of the proceedings. I sit on the platform awaiting developments. A tall and graceful earetaI1er, wearing a crown af lovely blond hair, takes her place at the piano. Each child is provided with sheet containing religious and patriotic songs, such as are comnfonly sung in schools and churches of all the denomi- nations: My Country "ris of Thee" I never heard sung with greater vim. A tiny girl, so poorly clad but pretty as a pieture-she is about six years old volunteers to speak a piece. She does it well and is admiringly applauded. Then a boy, somewhat older than she, raises his hand in sign of his willing

DIDN'T OBEY ORDERS.

A Gountryman Fooled by an Ambiguous
 Sign.
 It was in the days of the old flat rails when the electric street cars went pumping along with most uncom- fortable, jerlly motion, that an old gem tleman boarded a Jefferson avenue car at Brush street and seated himself for a trip up the avenue. He was evidently from the country, for he had a thick coat of tan on his face and hands, and whiskers encircled his throat. His open-eyed wonder at everything that went on and his nervous glances at the door when the car got up it's speed pro- claimed that it was his first experience at riding on an electric car.
 As the car went further up the avenue it's speed was increased, and in conse- quence its rolling motion incree sed. This the old gentleman did not relish, for he bore an expression of mingled breathlessness and fear, and chung des- perately to his seat.
 Finally, as the car neared the middle of long block and was getting up a vicious roll, he glanced around back of nm ana then SeCBleQ Ddck III HIS seat in the most contented manner imag- inable But as the car flew on he again grew nervous, and finally jumped to his feet and attempted to rush to the rear platform As he raised his foot the car would give a. roll and throw him back, making it impossible for him to bring it down. Then it would come down in a hurry and the other foot would go high in the air. So he continued to dance about until the ear drew up at the cor ner when he flew out of the open door, nearly knocking down the conductor
 .'WalI. you derned fellers don't pay much attention to yer orders, do ye?"
 "Why, what's the trouble?" answered the conductor.
 Look back there," said the old man, ''ef that ere sign board don't say: Cars stop goin' up am down. then ain't a foot high. never see sech q teeter-totter in all my days" and he stall1ed off down the side street.-De- troit Free Press.

l,ess to take part. He sings we'll and earns the handclapping which rewards his performances Then in chorus the whole company vociferates "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," waving in the refrain their sheets of words, which, by the way, are printed in red, white and blue.
 The children listen with wide-eyed wonder to "Frenchy's" rendering of the ''Marseillaise" in the original. He is husky, but characteristically intense, and carries all before him. The boy who stands at the piano as he sings ren- ders a sentimental song in a sweet and sympathetic way. A city rector has al- ready found him out, and he wears the cassocl and cotta when at church in New York. The concert ends-I don't know that I ever enjoyed one more with a chorus, of which the first line is: ''I sailed up the bonny blue Hudson" 2" and the concluding hurrahs are for the patron who brought them to ''our home on the hill." "John Browns Body" $ just the thing for the dismissal melody. When all have marched out comes echoes of "Frenchy's" drumming on his way to headquarters.
 Miss Collins is home in time to ring the .order" bell about noon, when the children wash and spruce up bit pre- paratory to dinner. The domestics and caretakers are kept busy as bees serv- ing this substantial meal of meat and vegetables, with pudding as dessert. Two proeessions, one of boys and one of girls, are formed, going to and return ing from the dining tent. The drum Is very much in evidence on these occa sions. 1 notice that the dignity of the drum major is not an undivided posses sion. handsome Italian boy does eff fective work this time, and there are others who in turn are found compe- tent to dispute skilled mastery of noise with the irrepressible "Frenehy."
 Till supper time caretakers and chil- dren follow their will in lawn, wood and orchard. Iris touching to see tot who has known so little of sympathy and love timidly place her hand in that of the young lady she calls teacher odiN lcoh r illO ucI LdCS, liltIC doouA CG ly finding responsive smile and loving word. In day or two the new arrivals will have learned, like their predeces. sors, that all here are friends, and will with confidence and without reserve bestow as well as receive that wealth of human tenderness and affection which social degradation cannot destroy.
 Additional to what has been said of the dieting of these young visitors, it is interesting to know that in spite of the temptation of good milk, preference has been shown for hot coffee as the breakfast beverage. Milk, either hot or cold, having been rejected in favor of the fragrant berry, weak decoction is served, plentifully enriched with milk and sugar The stimulation of coffee being called for, it is given with the wholesome modification indicated. variety of cereal foods is served morn ings. The children don't care for hot drink in the evening, when each one IS given a pint or so of milk, of which 200 quarts. a day are consumed. At supper

 Can you fix up a drink to knock 3 man into the middle of next week % he asked of Michigan avenue saloon keeper during Hull of business.
 ''What's the case?" was asked
 @Why, there's an impecunious dead- Leat out on the corner who's always striking me for a drink. He saw me come in, and he'll show up directly. He'll call for whisky. Pour it out for him and make it four parts peppersauce. :" "I'll do it." was the reply, and the thing had hardly been fixed when the man came sauntering in. He saw his friend, as if by accident, and, after 8 word about the weather, he said;
 "Come, pard, Pm as dry as cotton cloth"
 "Oh, certainly. Take whisky, sup pose?"
 Always Whisky always hits the angle of the ribs as nothing else ever can."
 The barkeeper pretended to draw from a keg under the counter, and he set up a glass rich with the fiery stuff- The vag held it up to the light, smacked his lips, and with Here's hoping" he got outside of it. Everybody looked to see him jump clear from the floor or to fall on his back, but he did nothing of the kind. Hesat the glass back, shiy- cred little, and said to the barkeeper: ssSay, old man, you shouldn't keep that stuff on ice in March weather.
