Guatemala they received 500 from
their mother, divided the money be-
tween them, and parted company, the
elder brother returning north. Lewis
movements from that time are inter-
esting, as the United States govern

extricate him from his difficulties. In
Guatemala Lewis remained as clerk in
a coffee store until the proprietor asso-

small sums of money. The boy then
became canvasser for bicycle firm

the American consul. The latter took
a liking to him, adjusted his difficulty,
and procured him employment, but
young Parker skipped out to La Union,
worked his way to Panama, and slowed
his way in the steamer Punta for Cal
lao. Thence he went to Lima, where
he worked ten months. He returned
to Callao boarded British freight

| hear and speak. The eyes must do
duty for the useless ears, and their
anxious expression is ample proof of
their endeavor to fill the place of both
senses. There is a pathetic solemnity
in the tense, strained attitudes of MANY
of the congregation, and in the wonder
fully expressive symbolism by which
the preacher conveys his meaning.
For the sign language is a foreign
tongue, SO far as its resemblance to
English goes. 1t does not consist. as
many imagine, in spelling out the
words letter by letter; that ia done
only In the case of proper names. All
ideas are interpreted by signs or mo-
tions which are descriptive as far as
porsiblc of the thought. Thus the lay
ing of the hand on the heart denotes
love; the arching of the two hands
together, as If encircling a globe. indi-
Gates the world; power is expressed by
a commanding wave of the forearm
with the fist clinched, and the ide. of
glory is conveyed by raising both
hands above the head and sweeping
them back and forth horizontally. with
the fingers Quivering. in semblance of
of shimmering light. 1t Is wholly
impossible to comprehend without Sec
ing them the effectiveness of the al
most innumerable signs which take the
place of sounds. 1t is, of course. true
that this sign language cannot be
nearly so rich as spoken tongue.

conveying delicate and slightly differ

their entire happiness and comfort.

The prison population of India, large
as it is, is only SO per 100000 inhabit-

had finally given it up, and found
it more profitable to bring his help
down by rail. He paid much bet
ter wages, and got much better
service. We know that the owner
of the Hygeia Hotel, at Old Point
Comfort, Va, where scores OF col
ored domestics are employed,
thought seriously, several years
ago, of bringing white Swedish
help from Minnesota Many of
the Swedish girls are employed in
the South. In the Northern cities,
female colored help is refused in
many families, owing to its low
moral tone. At the same time, ex-
cellent colored help is sometimes
obtained. But cases of this kind
are rare.
Those who are educating the col
ored people, believe that in due
time their standard of morals and
industry will be raised. 1t is a.
gigantic work. The negro must
advance or the people of the
South will be subject to hurtful
overfows of barbarism. When the
character of colored domestics is
criticised, it is with the knowledge
and belief that the negro can and
will advance under a proper sys-
tenn of education.

ENGLISH SENTIMENT.

Public Opinion (London) quotes
freely from the American papers
on the question of annexation. 1t
tries to furnish the opinions on
both sides of it. 1t makes no quo
tations from the British journals,
because they take little interest IN
the subject. 1t is very certain that
Lord Salisbury's Indifference about
the annexation movement would
provoke criticism and vigorous de-
nunciation by the opposition Press,
if the British sentiment was against
annexation. The fact. that the
British Press discuss the matter
with little interest shows what the
national sentiment is.
No doubt the average intelligent
Englishman would say, if he were
familiar with the history of the an
neXation movement: brother
Jonathan seems to make a great
fuss over taking up group of ISL
ands. It's quite evident that they
belong to him, and he has been
saying so, for so years. Why
doesn't he take themIOur own
Government will annex much larg-
er territory at a Cabinet meeting,
and all the people will know about
it will be in dozen lines of the
newspapers"
John Bull must not forget that
he is the father of vast progeny of
annexation children. His family
numbers many hundreds. With
the United States it is the case of
"the first foreign-born baby" and,
of course, a great fuss about it is
natural enough. One of the trou
bles is. about the kind of colonial

or territorial baby clothes it should
wear, in due course. The question
is also raised, whether or not it
shall be kept on a territorial bottle,
or have little trousers of its own,
made by the Statehood tailors.
These minor questions are always
perplexing.
The practical sense of the Amer
leans will arrange all details, and
next winter the Queen of ''perfdi-
Gus Albion" may wire to President
Mckinley: Congratulate YOU,
but you have been long time
about it."
