LESSONS OF AN INDIAN CHILD.
Cultivation of the Fingers Rather
Than the B1 ain.

Soon after breakfast mother some
times began her beadWork, says Zit-
kala-Sa, according to q writer in the
Atlantic Monthly.
Untying the long tasseled strings
that bound a small brown buckskin
bag, my mother spread upon mat
beside her punches of colored beads,
just as an artist arrangeS the paints
upon his palette. On a lapboard she
smOOthed out double sheet of soft,
white buckskin, and drawing from a
beaded case that hung on the left of
her wide belt n long narrow blade,
she trimmed the buckskin into shape.
Close beside my mother l sat on a
rug, with n scrap of buckskin in one
hand and an aWl in the other. This
was the beginning of my practiced OBJ
servatiOn lessons in the art of bead
work. From a skein of finely twisted
threads of silvery SinewS my mother
pulled out single one. With an aWl
she pierced the buckskin, and skill
fully threaded it with the white sine;W.

FLOWERS IN CHURCH.
Effect of Their Beauty and Grace
Upon the Congregation.

We have ali heard the story Of the
traveller who was making journey or
foot through q wild region, and was
asked how he determined at what
houses it was safe to ask for a nights
lodging. oh" he said, Il always
asked at the houses where there were
flowers in the windows, and l never
made a L.'stake," says a writer in the
Christian Endeavor World.
He might have chosen his church
home in much the same way, and with
as sure success, for the churches that
make much use of flowers, and espe-
cially where the flowers, in their
choice and arrangement, show evi.
dence of the loving work of many
hands and not merely of the perfume
tory services of paid fiorists-these are
quite certain to be homelike churches,
in which Christianity is & matter of
daily, heartfelt living.
The presence of flowers is a stand
ing evidence before the eyes of the
congregation that some one, or some
set of people, have a love for Gods
house, and have cOnsecrated some time
and thOughtfulness to its service. The
knowledge of this is in itself an incen-
tive to worship, quite aside from the
pure influence of the flowers them
selves and their effect as tokens of
Gods wisdom and love and the beauty
Of His holiness.
If no further reason is needed for
engaging in the work of the flower
committee it may be found in the per-
sOnal gains that come from the serv-
ice to the committee workers. There
is much that is elevating and ennob-
ling in the very handling of flowers,
and the arrangement of them does
much to cultivate artistic perceptions
There are many social features of the
work which are very pleasant, and the
taking of flowers to the sick and the
aged brings the committee Il world of
delightful experiences. Altogether,
this is branch of our Christian En-
deavor work that should not be neg
lccted. There should be a flower COM
mittee in every society, and it should
be an active. enterprising one. 1t
should carry out with conSecrated per-
the good old ways of working
and always it should be on the lookout
for new things to do for the kingdom
Of God.

BOERS SURPRISED.

When the war between the British
and the Beers was begun President
Kruger said that if Great Britain was
determined to crush the two South
African republics it would have to pay
for it's victory price that would stag,
ger humanity. Apparently there was
in his mind no thought that the re-
sistance of the Beers might prove sue
cessful. This view is borne out by the
assertions Of Mr.. Weinthal, the Chica-
go Record correspondent at Pretoria.
MI Weinthal says:
"The continuous howlings of the
London war press instilled the thought
in the minds of the Beers that they
We're to be wiped from the face of the
earth. Yet only finally, when they dis
covered that the great legions had not
arrived and that war was certain, did
they decide to take the offensive, even
then never dreaming that the British
colonies were absolutely defenseless
along their borders. They did not re-
alize their own strength against mod
ern implements of destruction till they
met their enemy at Dundee and near
Ladysmith with such wonderful re-,
suits"
The Beers, Of course, were brilliant
ly successful against the British in tho
war of 1881, but on that occasion tho
number of British troops encountered
was small. The leaders of the Boera
doubtless realized at that time that
Great Britain could have defeated
them had not the Gladstone govern
ment been magnanimous in consenting
to make peace instead of sending out
n large army for the continuation Of
the war. But now the Beers are op-
posing q formidable British army,
commanded by generals of reputation
and equipped with the modern appli-
ances for destruction. That army at
the present time is being successfully
held at bay by the forces which it was
expected to overwhelm with ease. Nor
is there any certainty that Butler or
Methuen or Gatacre or French will be
able to advance in the near future.
Having learned their power the Beers
will be even more formidable foes to
encounter henceforth to say nothing
of the thousands of Cape Dutch whom
their victories have attracted to them.

AMERICAN CAPITAL IN RUSSIA.

According to present plans not less
than $15,000,000 of American capital
will be invested during the year in
manufacturing plants in the Russian
empire-chiefy at st. Petersburg and
Moscow. The Westinghouse Electric
Company, of Pittsburg, will put up a
complete establishment at st. Peters
burg, costing not less than $2,500,000
Crane Brothers, of Chicago, and the
Standard Pump Works will invest q
similar amount in a pump factory at
Moscow to manufacture American in
ventions; the Singer Sewing Machine
Company will duplicate one OF its big
gest factories at Moscow, an invest
ment of between $4,000 and $3,000.-
600; the stockholders in the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, Of Philadelphia,
will establish a 100000 plant on the
railway between st. Petersburg and
Moscow. 1t will not have any official
connection with the Baldwin company
and will bear another title, although
owned by the same men. A firm of
car builders, n bridge building COM
pany and a manufacturer Of patented
shoe making machinery are also nego-
tiating for sites near the cities named
with the encouragement of the Rus
sian government. All of these enter
prises are going to Russia through the
instrumentality of NJ. Routkowski, the
financial attache of the Russian en-
bassy in Washington, who has brought
the former named and several others
into communication with the officials
of his government and secured for
them valuable advantages. Thomas
Smith, the consul of the United States
in Russia. has also been instrumental
in promoting the movement. Repeated
attempts have been made to induce the
Cramps to open a shipyard at Cron-
stadt, or It some other of the Russian
ports. but thus far they have not de.
cidcd to do so.

An estimate indicates that, despite
the fact that 350,OO0 people perished
during the late war, the population Of
Cuba will approximate 100000. The
last census, taken in 1887, gave the
island population Of 1851 ,687. These
figures are not regarded as reliable
for Spanish census officials expended
most of their governments appropria-
tion on their own salaries, and merely
distributed blanks to be filed in by
volunteer enumeratOrs. The United
States census, however, has been con-

a result, tribes of Indians that have

Early in the last session of the Cen
eral Assembly law was passed pro-
viding that Justices of the peace
should maze a report to the treasurers
of the counties in which their offices
are located. The law also provided
that they should be paid mileage at
the rate of one cent a mile. Later the
county reform law was passed, which
provides that they shall not be allowed
mileage. Recently number of letters
concerning the matter have been re-
ceived at the Attorney Generals office
and last week Attorney General Tay-
lor gave an opinion in which he holds
that the county reform law repeals the
first and consequently the justices are
not entitled to mileage when going to
and from the county seat to make
their settlements.

To print the news in q series of ac-
tual photographs is the purpose of the
new Stereo Revue, the latest and most
ingenious invention of journalism. The
reporters are sent out armed with
cameras of the most approved type
and they are present at all events Of
passing interest. The cameras are
adapted to take double or stereopticon
pictures, and on the return Of the men
to the office the exposures made by
them are developed and otherwise pre-
pared. and from these a number of
sets of double pictures on transparent
films are printed on a single roll,
which constitutes one issue of the
Stereo Revue. Every subscriber re-
ceives an apparatus for viewing these
pictures when lie pays his first sub
scriptiOn. and each week he also re-
ceives An installment of the pictures.
