In one of the Greek cities there
stood, long ago, statue. Every trace
of it has vanished now, but there is
still il existence al epigram which
gives US an excellent description OF il,
and as we read the words we can dis
cover the lesson which those old Greeks
meant that the statue should teach.
The epigram is in the form of cor
versatiOn between a traveller aud the
statue.
what is thy nams, o statue?"
81 am called Oppor tunity."
"Who made thee?'
"Lysip u.s."
why art thou standing on thy
toes?"
ITO show that l stay but moment"
why hast wings on thy feet?"
"TO show how quickly L pass by"
but why is thy hair so long on thy
forehead
THAT men may seize me when they
meet me.'
Why, then, is thy head SO bald
behind?''
ITO show that when l have once
passed, l cannot be caught"

The Plea of the Indian.

Imagine yourself in the midst of half
dozen youths and maidens On the
verge of manhood and womanhood, en-
dowed with q high degree of natural
intellect and physical ability, and see
ing them 'Otally destitute If educa tional
advantages and a knowledge of me-
chanical arts. That is what 1 saw.
Some may ask, ''Why are they not as
signed to some distant Indian schoOl?'
The answer, as l learned, is that these
untu.ored children are held even more
dear to the hearts of their parents than
many children of the whites, and it is
deemed one of their greatest blessiu gs
to have their offspring where they can
at all times be in communion with
them. While they are DESTROYS of hav-
ing their boys and girls secure an edu-
cation, they earnestly oppOze having
them so far from their lonely freSides
as to be unable to occasiOna' ~ see their
faces.
During our conversation. White Bull
said, Il am a poor man. [ am willing
to work and earn something; but there
is no work here for me. l want to be
and act like the white man; [ want my
children to learn to read and write,
and grow up like white children: but
we have no boarding-school. There
is but one day-school on the entire re-
servatiou. What can we do? Our
agent can only give US what the Great
Father sends to him-that is but little.
Why can't our friends in the east ask
The Great Father to help US? L could
tell you many things OF how badly we
are treated, but they would not help
Us. All 1 want for my people is that
we get what is due us."-GOdey

America a Sea-POWer.

La the isthmus the United States has
asserted a special interest. In the pre-
sent she can maintain her claim, aud
in the future perfor IN her duty, only by
the creation of that sea power upon
which predominance in the Caribbean
must ever depend. In short, as the
internal jealousies of Europe, and the
purely democratic institution of the
levee en- masse-the general enforce
ment OF military training-have pre-
pared the way for great national arm
les, whose mission seems yet obscure,
SO the gradual broad ening ard tighten
ing hold upon the sentiment of Amer
lean democracy IF that conviction
loosely characterized as the Monroe
doctrine feds its logical, inevita BILE
outcome in great sea power, the
correlative, in connection with that of
Great Britain, of those armies which
continue to flourish under the most
popular institutions, despite the walls
of economists and the lamentations of
those who wish peace without paying
the one price which alone has ever
ensured peace-readiness for war

The Services of the West to Education

The susceptible of Americans to
new ideas is a notable element in the
prosperity of the country. The people
are willing to try ANYTHING that is
new. This is especially true of the
west, where the enterprislng iIh bitants
are always seeking shortcuts TO wealth
and to knowledge. This adventurous
spirit often leads to superfciality, but
it has also been very fruitful of new
met hods of school education. TIE
kindergarten idea was taken up and
developed in the west, There manual
training was first tried on d large scale
with satisfactory results. And it was
teachers in the west who first brought
about the intr oduct,on of ''hterature''
in the lower grades as the best means
of interesting uudeveloped minds. In
fact, they demonstrated the truth that
1t is better for the child to feed upon
ideas, upon thought, upon real stories,
and the lives of real people, and the
stimulating sentiments of all the ages,
than upon the inane sentences and
jejuue and successful effort to be child
lsh of the reading books.-Harper's

Newspapers in Schools.

papers as text books IN the public

duced novel plan for teaching the
young idea how to shoot" 1t is not to
be assumed, of course, that he
will permit the promiscuous use of
journals to test the value or utility of
the innovation, but by the exerc's SO of
wise discrimination in his selections he
expects and hopes to prove that the

agency he so warmly espouses, prac-
teal impetus which no other study can
impart.
For several years past many of the
teachers Of the more advanced grades
in the Washington public schools have
encouraged their pupils to discuss the
topics of the day which are touched
on by the daily and weekly press, and
it is said the experiment has been very
satisfactory, but Kansas City is the
first great center of population in the
United States that has boldly intro
duced newspapers as regular text
books, and the whole country will
watch with interest the outcome of the
novelty

energy and enterprise of Mr..
Desky, and will be opened
with a grand meet next month,
and all the young men-and
perhaps also the lovely girls
will want to try their luck on
it. In anticipation of increased
sales on bicycles we have
quietly laid in a good stock of
Tribune Bicycles than which
there is none better in the
market. The Tribune is now
recognized in the United States
as the best; it is the favorite
with all the society people and
business men all over the
Union, and our own American
Minister rides one. Recent
adviceS announce a cut in
prices of low grade, but the
strictly high grade wheels still
sell readily at the former list
price. We have made better
arrangements with the manu-
facturers, whereby we are en-
abled to sell the Tribune bicy-
cles at list price-$1OO, and
invite all intending purchasers
of wheels to come and inspect
our stock before going else
where. We have ladies' and
gentlemen's road wheels, racers
and all models manufactured
by the celebrated Black Manu-
featuring Co. We also carry
the Columbus, Columbus

OF this country, it would have
been a subject of congratulation,
To- both the Government aud the
people, that such splendid
steamship rs the China should fly
the Hawaiian flag. liz, however,
the granting of Hawaiian registry
TO that or any other foreign vessel,
is a breach of faith with the Unit
ed States then it cannot but be
regarded as a great blun'er.
It's being such breach l,as in
the taking advantage OF the pros
pect of annexation to obtain in
directly, for foreign shipowners,
a great privilege from the United
States which is impossible to be
had directly. The shipping laws
of the United States afford benefits
to American shipbuilders, and for
outsiders to be given such benefits
in spite of those laws by Hawaii
while seeking admission to the
Union might, it is easy to imagine,
create disagreeable complications.
So far as particulars are now OBJ
tainable, however, there appears
70 have been no undue advantage
taken. The owners of the China
were shrewd enough to take
action before transfers of registry
had been forbidden.
