SINCE her appointment as superinten-
dent of Indian schools Miss Estelle Reel
has accomplished wonders by the intro
duction Of manual methods in agency
SCHOOLS scattered throughout the West
ern States and territories. Early in
her career as superintendent she be-
came convinced, as she herself express
es 1t, that among all children, Indians
and whites alike, the shortest road to
the brain is through the hand" In
perfunctory way manual training had
been In operation before Miss Reel re-
ceiyed her appointment, but since then
1t has received close attention and the
results have been gratifying in the
extreme. In the early days of the re-
public most Indian teachers sought to
lift the aboriginal mind TO the plane of
Christian enlightenment by means of
texts and sermons, catechisms and in
functions, and too commonly their eff
forts ended In the sad realization that
the seed was sown on stony ground.
Half a century ago some teachers be-
gan to realize that the chief need of the
Indian Is for practical education involy-
Ing manual training and actual intro
duction into the arts and industries of
their Caucasian neighbors, ana the eff
forts OF those teachers who adopted
this plan We're always more or less
fruitful. 1t was not until the advent
of Miss Reel that the system was given
"a really fair trial. The result has been
so satisfactory that doubtless the work
will be still further developed In fu-
ture. Observers of educational prog
ress are impressed with the increasing
ly practical character of instruction In
our own schools; the kindergarten has
passed the experimental stage and be-
come an important educational factor:
manual training has been substituted
for the dreary grind of word drill, to
the immeasurable benefit of pupils, and
nature teaching is rapidly replacing the
husks Of dead knowledge In every uni
versity and in all the better normal
schools and high schools, as well as In
many Of the primary schools through
out the country.
In speaking of the benefits accruing
from this system of education Miss
Reel said recently: "The benefits of
this educational revolution to the chill

dren and youth of America have been
very great, yet the advantages Of the
modern method are incomparably
greater to Indian children than to their
Caucasian contemporaries. Allowing
for exceptional cases, the Indian child
Is Of lower physical organization than
the white child of corresponding age.
His forearms are smaller and his fin
gers and hands less flexible; the very
structure of his bones and muscles will
not permit so wide a variety of man
ual movements as are customary
among Caucasian children, and his
cry instincts and modes of thought
are adjusted to this imperfect manual
development. In like manner his face
is without that complete development
of nerve and muscle which gives char
acter to expressive features; his face
seems stolld because 1t is without the
mechanism of free expression, and at
the same time his mind remains meas
urably stolid because Of the very alb
sence of mechanism for its own express
sion. In short, the Indian instincts and
nerves and muscles and bones are ad-
tusted one to another, and all to the
habits of the race for uncounted gener-
atlons, and his offspring cannot be
taught to be like the children Of the
white man until they are taught to do
like them.

Ellis Island has been used as an i'm

after Congress relieved New York State
of the supervision Of the European i'm
migrants entering through this port a
wooden building 750x250 feet was
erected on Ellis Island ms station at
an expense of between 100000 and
100000. 1t was opened on New Years
Day, 1891. On the night of June 15,
1897, the big nondescript building, de-
scribed at the time as veritable tin

THE WEST AND ITS AIR.
Nhy Ii Is Dry, aud Its Effect ON Those
Tint BrenIhe It

Beyond doubt one of the most I'M
portant assets of the new West Is eli
mate, When an inhabitant of the At
lantie seaboard, or of the shores of the
Great Lakes, or of the lowlapds of the
South, can no longer withstand the
penetration of cold, damp winds, or
the malarlous breath of swamps, his
West. Throughout It's length and
breadth il is one vast sanltarlum. Its
pure sweet air and its sunny skies are
instinct with the breath of life. They
put new heart into the dropping inyu-
lid, prolonging his life, and, II he be
not too far gone at the outset, restor-
Ing the old vigor to the shattered body.
The faces of the permanent sojourners
within their influence they paint with
the brown badge of health. 1t Is too
early as yet to observe the fun effect
Of the climate on the population of the
arid West, but the sufficient results are
apparent to warrant the assertion that
these influences will breed great race.
The superior climate of the arid West
Is due to fundamental conditions that
differ widely from those of eastevn
America. Viewed from the standpoint
Of the broader climatic effects, the east
ern half of the United States Is one
wide plain. The moisture-laden winds
from lakes and gulf, as from the great
ocean itself, meet none but Insignificant
barriers
But In the Far West the mountains
are the supreme factor in the making
Of the climate. The coast range stands
eternal guard along the margin of the
sea, while little farther inland the
Sierra Nevada lifts Its giant peaks to
intercept the clouds that escape the
outer barrier and to condense their
moisture into snow. Down the center
Of the continent, from Canada TO Mex
leo, the Rocky Mountains tower far
into the sky, repeating upon the east
ern edge of the arid region the process
Of condensng and storing the winters
rain and holding 1t against the sum-
mer's need. Between the three great
primary ranges scores of shorter ones,
or isolated mountain groups, reach
their long arms into the desert. The
1ryness, purity and lightness of the
atmosphere are due to this mountain
topography, and to the high average
altitude throughout the region.-From
The Conquest of Arid America.

Says Richard Harding Davis, writing
from Pretoria to the Boston Herald:
There are many boys in the Boer
army. Four Of them are sons of Reitz,
the Secretary Of State. His father told
me proudly of how the youngest, who
was fifteen years old, covered British
Tommy and. called upon him to hold up
his hands AS his comrades had al
ready surrendered, the Tommy threw
down his gun, and said to the boy:
81 don't care I'm blooming well sick
Of this war, anyway. Amt you?"
"Oh, no." protested young Reitz, sim
ply, "for father says that wlren the war
is over he's going to send me back to

Where the Coin Goes To.

The amount Of gold turned into coin
each year by the mints of the world Is
mere nothing to the huge quantity
used In gliding picture frames, painting
signs, binding books, designing on fur
niture and on pottery. The worlds en-
tire stock of gold is about l,1O0 tons,
but of this only 100 exists In the form
Of coin.
This stock Is increasing by about
three and n half tons year. -Four tons
and a half are minted, but ton Is lost
by waste. This is II small item com
pared with the 120 tons which jewelers.
and gllders use up every year, and none
Of this vast amount Is recoverable.

for the arts. She uses 80, 700 pounds n
year. Great Britain is good second.

Mark Twain on the stump.

Mark Twain was never much OF
politician. Indeed, what he doesn't
know about politics would make a very
large library. On one occasion, how
ever, the humorias took part in a CAM
paign so far as to make little speech.
It was in 1880, and Mr.. Clemens, who
was visiting friend at Elmira, n. Y,
was called on to introduce Gen. Hawley
to Republican meeting. In the course
of his remarks Mr.. Clemens said:
"Gen. Hawley is a member of my
church, in Hartford, and the author of
Beautiful Snow Maybe he will deny
that, but l am only here to give him a
character from his last place. AS a
pure citizen l respect him, as a per-
sonal friend of years l have the warm
est regard for him, as neighbor whose
vegetable garden adjoins mine, why
why, l watch him. As the author of
Beautiful Snow he has added a new
pang of winter. He is a square, true
man in honest politics, and | must say
he occupies mighty lonesome position.
So broad, so bountiful is his character
that he never turned a tramp empty
handed from the door, but always gave
him a letter of Introduction to me. Pure,
honest, incorruptible, that is Joe
Hawley. Such man in politics is like
a bottle of perfumery in n glue factory
it may moderate the stencil, but it
doesn't destroy it. l haven't said any
more Of him than l would say of my
self Ladies and gentlemen, this is

Holland Has Been Long at War.

There are not many people aware of
the fact that for the last twenty seven
years a war has been going on be-

Acheen, in north Sumatra. Since 1875
up to the present time this war has cost
the Netherlands something like $780,
100000 and over 100000 lives have been
lost on the two sides. After all these
years of fighting the end Of this punt
tive war is no nearer than when it first
commenced.

The return Of New Years day In.
yites many people to the most somber
reflections. Undoubtedly most OF us
can find abundant occasion for these,
but there is such a thing as pushing
self-examination and self-condemna-
ton to the point Of Encouragement.
The best temper with which we can
enter upon the new year is that Of
faith. faith in God and faith in our
selves through His help. 1t is about
as certain as anything can be that the
new year will bring us new expert
ences. Our courage, our capacity for
endurance. oursteadiness Of character
and power Of resistance Is to be tested.
At the end Of the year we are going
to be nobler men and women than we
are today, or we shall have deterior-
ated morally, and forever afterward
there will be narrowing opportunities.
While we think Of the latter alterna-
tive 1t is well to strengthen our hearts
by the former. Let us believe that we
are not going to fail and we have taken
a long step towards success. When
another New Years day comes around
we are going to be able to reckon solid
gains in character won through the
trials and temptations and emergen-
cies of the years experience. Boston

The report states that patients In
smaller hospitals come in personal con-
tact with their uperintendent, are less
