lans, tor at that time there was good
reasons TO believe that some Of these
might Starve to death. The property
that the missionaries found in these
houses was sold for the benefit of the
native Christians. As soon as the
siege was raised, the allies were scour-
ing the town for every available bush
el OF rice and everything upon which
they could sustain their soldiers.
| did not realize that $50, 900 wealthy
Chinese had lett the city, while only
so, 600 soldiers had come in, so that
the usual amount Of provisions would
be ample TO support all. The mission
aries did not go out to loot or to sell,
but they took possession of two large
places where they stored such goods
as they could collect.
II took every white man we had to
stand by the guns. Without the mis-
sionarles the lsgationers would not
have been saved, and without the ma
tive Christians none of us would be
alive to-day. 1t was all for mutual
protection. The native Christians
could not have lived an hour outside
our walls. How can they say that the

important in the series of such events
that mark the last days of the present

PROF. MOORE'S ADVICE.
Among other things he said: 90 The
purpose of education is ethical. IN
tellectual training you will find easy
Out ethical training more difficult.
HOlr nurture will have to contend with
nature and with advice environment.
Education has been thought to be the
salvation OF man, and, indeed, it oup ht
to be. But ifit is ever so TO be, its
mission must be more largely ethical
and less exclusively intellectual. Let
your teaching be qualitative rather
than quantitive. Seek to beget prac.
teal efficiency. which YOU will find a
very rare thing among any people (;
thus work IN your instruction toward a
rational and dethiCal ideal. A people
receives its rank far more from char
acter than from knowledge or wealth.
To imagine that the mere getting of
lessons assigned, that pushing through
school, college or university children
who have acquired d certain know
ledge OF Languages, sciences or handi-
craft, that these will make benefcient
leaders in religion and civilization, is
to cherish delusion. If in school

valuable Archaeological Specimens from
Alaska at the Exposition.
The Ethnology Building of the Pan
American Exposition will be full of
fine chronological and archaeological
specimens, and it will be the center of
interest for a great many visitors. One
Of the most unique exhibits in the
building IS from Alaska. This exhibit
IS now Installed. 1t occupies the place
which had been assigned TO New York
State Archaeological display.
While this Alaskan exhibit is not Of
greater scientific value than smaller
material collected from New York
State, II will doubtless be of greater
interest to most of the visitors TO the
Exposition on account of the distance
from which it comes and on account of
the fact that the archaeology of New
York State IS very similar to that Of
large portions OF this country, while
the archaeology of Alaska is unique.
Il will occupy a quadrant Of the ground
of the ground floor in the Ethnology
building.
The southern quadrant Of the ground
building IS devoted to an exhibit
from Mexico, and the eastern QUAD
rant to the exhibits from the other
Southern Latin-American countries.
Canada and the United States are re-
presented in the balcony. All of the
wall cabinets and wall space of the
balcony are applied for, and most Of
the exhibits are in the city.

THE KITCHEN.

Then came little bit of admonition
from an old negro to violinist not
10 play a certain rag-time tune be-
cause 1t gave him "de ticklin' OBJ de
heel,' and made him want to dance.
Ihen there were several other
negro poems, including a pathetic one
OF the revery Of an old man before the
hre. But the most pronounced hit of
the afternoon was achieved by the re.
port OF a kitchen conversation between
the cOlored lady who presideS over
that domain, and the mistress of the
house. 1t was at this point that the
colored lady visitors Shuffied uneasily
in their chairs. Who know?-perhaps
they were queens of some kitchen and
recognized the picture. Certainty the
white ladies in the audience who en-
ployed the type described by Mr.. Dun
bar recognized the picture. 1t was a
graphic and realistic bit Of a mono
lOgue, which left no one in doubt as
TO preside over that particular kitchen.
And the climax came when the indig-
nant and inSaulted servant, amazed
that any one should object if she took
a tritle of food to her home, declared
with emphasis that Though | works
for you, mum, wants you to know.
mum, dat IS a perfeck lady l is. "
There were other poems, and they
reall beautifully real by Mr.. Dun
bar, who IS an exceedingly modest
gentleman, or quite and reserved
maner. There is an air Of refinement
about him which Immediately singles
him out for special attention, yet there
IS no mistaking his undoubted African
descent. He is very popular with his
blind hearers, and deSerVedly so, for
he gave them an afternoon Of pleasure
which they will long remember. The
hundred or more visitors also became
extremely enthusiastic, and after the
reading a number of them crowded
around him to congratulate him. And
every one found him to be just what
he seemed-a perfect gentleman as
we'll as a true poet.
Mr.. Dunbar's home is in lie Droit
Park, and he is now permanently in
the Library. lie will be asked to
read again soon.

II was called, when De Cullud Band
ZONES Marchin' Down De Street, -
ANY one who ever saw negro hand
and ITS followers would recognize the
accuracy of the picture. But the
most surprising thing about il was
that Mr.. Dunbar, who but a moment
before had read in perfect English a
serious bit Of sentiment, now re-
Iapsed into The happY.go-lucky, ioy-
Gus, lazy negro with a broad Southern
dialect, Just such a shiftless, rag-time
shnifilng negro as you can see trailing
along behind any band, white or
:, egro. The transition was surprising,
put II was complete. No one ever be-
lore read negro dialect piece with
such feeling and accuracy, such perfect
JOY. Mr.. Dunbar seemed to enioy il
all as much as his hearers.
