INDIANS MAKE FINE MODELS.

If Indian chiefs, like ether poten-
tates, had their court painters, the

Christian Nai-che, who was right
fully the chief of the Apaches until the
willy medicine man usurped his posi-
tion, has also been among Burbank's
sitters, and carved him remarkable
cane, about which twines a green
stained serpent, as trifing token Ct
esteem. Court painters across the
ocean get jeweled canes from royalty.

preaching is of little use without prac-

above the primary grade, the teacher
was one day reading 4 story the sub
iect of which was borrowing. She sup
plemented the reading with some re-
marks of her own, which she closed
with this parting admonition: above
all things, children, when you have oc-
casion to borrow, never forget to re-
turn the borrowed article. Do not put
the person who was kind enough to ac-
commodate you to the trouble of send
ing for it," While she was still speak
ing, a knock was heard at the door.

she had finished her sentence. pupil

Bribing Sturgeon.

The recent autobiography of the late
Rev. Charles H. Spurgeon contains an
account of what might be termed al
early business venture, and its in
fluence on his character. Spurgeon was
brought up on Watts hymns; but not
altogether willingly. His grandmother
coaxed him with money to learn them.
At first she gave him penny, but when
she saw how easily it was earned, the
old lady reduced the prize to half
penny and then to a farthing. There
is 10 telling how low the amount per
hymn might have fallen, but just at
this time his grandfather made dis
covery which seemed more desirable
to Spurgeon. He discovered that his
house was overrun with rats, and Of
fered his grandson a shilling a dozen
for all he coIA kill. The occupation
of rat-killing gave him more money
than learning hymns. But" Mr.. Spur
geon Enthusiastically says, 81 knew
which employment has been the more
permanently profitable to me.

SETTLEMENTS FOR WOMEN.
English Women Try a Scheme to Add
to Their Incomes by Sell
ing Eggs, Etc.

An Important eXpe rimen, will short
~ be made in England, with the object
of forming settlements of women in
different parts of the country for the
cultivat ton of the land, and thus en-
abling them to add to their incomes by
the sale CT fruits, flowers, vegetables:
poultry, eggs, honey, etc. The idea
was started by the countess of War
wick, and an institution will be opened
in connection with Reading college in
October, where they may be trained
specially for the work. 1t will be
founded for the definite purpose Of en-
abling women over the age of 16 to OBJ
tain a thorough training Theoretical
and practicaD in the lighter branches
of agriculture, viz: Flower and fruit
growing and packing for market, es-
pecially bush fruit, tomatoes, mush-
rooms, ETC., bee and poultry keeping
and dairy work. The council of Read
ing college has consented to provide
the necessary courses of instruction,
and to recognize the countess of War
wick's hostel as place of residence for
women students. The full course of in
struction will extend over two years.
but those who wish to do so may join
the short courses and special classes.
1t is hoped that the inclusive fees for
instruction and board will not exceed
$3.50 a year.

Spanish Cruiser in New York Waters
Extraordinary Precautions Taken.
New York, Feb. 19.-The Spanish ar

miles south of Sandy Hook lightship, af-
ter a 13-days voyage from the Canary
