For English Children.

In the majority of the schools here some
entertainment in which all can participate
Is given during the days Immediately pre-
ceding or following the holidays In many
instances the teachers devote much en-
ergy to collecting funds, and are able
TO arrange excellent festivities.
In several of the polytechnic insiitu-
tions also special efforts are often direct
ed to organizing some kind OF merriment
for the little people of the district. and
the lady members vie with each other
in making presents and dressing dolls
TO be distributed from a Christmas tree.
Among the best OF the seasonable enter
talnments are those given under the aus
pices OF the Childrens Happy Evenings
Association.
The presidents OF the different branches,
as Countess Cadogan, in Chelsea, the
Countess of Dartre" in HoNton, Lady
Llangattock in Old Kent Road, the Coun-
tess of Gosford in Clerkenyell, or Lady
Margaret Rice in Bethnal- green, arrange
some really splendid parties.
In Bermondsey and some other squalid
quarters of the Southern side, the Guild
OF Play" associated with the Farncombe
Street Settlement provides mirth and
merriment. There is one great ''revcl" 10
which the paying public are hidden. and
there arc few prettier sights than the old
English singing games az they are played
by these youngsters, who enter into them
with so much zest. But with the money
earned at these displays plenty can lie
done for the further enjoyment of the
little performers and tnelr afflicted neigh

bors who form the Guild of the Poor
Brave Things" One OF the most pathetic
parties given during thc season is that Of
the Children's League OF Pity. On this
occasion all the little guests of their
| more happily-placed young hosts and
hostesses have either been the victims
of suffering and iil-usage or are under the
National Society for the Prevention OF
Cuelty to Children. 1't
Santa Claus works perhaps on the larg
est scale through the Ragged School
Union. The great Guild hall entertain
ment to some 1000 children is one Of the
events of the civic year To this come the
lord mayor, the lady mayoress, and the
sheriffs in full state; the menu is sump-
tuous, the entertainment that follows ex-
cellent, and new pennies, picture books,
and warm comforters are distributed as
parting presents.
Prior to this feast, which is usually
held about January 3. the union seeds out
hampers TO every one OF the GO00 or
1900 registered cripples on its books. who
thus enjoy large share of the Yuletide
rejoicings, though they may be unable TO
leave their homes. The Robin Society is

The Indian New Woman.

Falling Star. a princess OF the Abe
MAXI tribe OF Indians in the northern part
of Maine, is an aboriginal new woman %
She has strenuously advocated the rights
OF her sex for some years and now comes
to the front with scheme to line the
pockets OF her tribal sisters.
She is working on n plan to establish
a cooperative store for the sale Of In
dian goOds-baskets, wampum. birchbark
lovelties. and the like-in one OF the
large Eastern cities. She has Boston and
New York in her mind. She would prefer
New York il she can make satisfactory
arrangements to secure quarters and II
she finds prospects for trade there prom
Using.
This handsome young Indian woman
has recently spent several weeks in New
York canvasslng the wholesale trade in
novelties and toys, and received such as
surances from dealers that she is prepar-
ing 10 start a small store in New York
as an experiment. She has gathered n
choice stock of goods OF Indian manufac-
ture from Maine and from the Indians Of
central New York State as samples, and
these are now being inspected by whole
sale dealers. Falling Star has written to
friends in this city that she thinks she
can venture 10 take several OF her young
Indian women friends to New York with
her to assist in disposing of the wares.
Falling Stars idea is that the white
middlemen, who at present have practi-
cally a monopoly of the trade, can be
dispensed with. She says that these mid
dlemen buy the goods from the indians at
ludicrously low prices and then sell them
at absurdly high rates. making an alto
gether disproportionate profit She be-
lieves that the Indians themselves should
reap the benefit Of their work. and plans
to dispose of the goods directly from the
Indians to the wholesalers. getting a fair
price from the latter. Should the scheme
prosper she might establish retail stores
in some of the Eastern cities, she says.
Falling Star is in great demand as an
artists model. She has classic face
of the thoroughbred Indian type, for there
is not drop of white blood in her. Her
figure is also perfect. according TO the
artistic standpoint. but her modesty is
such that she poses only for the face and
head-New York World.

Chinese Proverbs.

The Chinese say that a grave and ma
iestie outside is the palace of the soul.
This iu intended 10 indicate that men Of
influence and ability should be careful in
regard to appearances. The house OF a
man 10 a high position will suit him we'll
in convenience and in its ornamentation.
The Chinese study appearances and those
In high stations will not expose them
selves to the gaze OF the vulgar.
A man OF rank cannot take walk for
exercise OF an evening, however inviting
the country lanes and woods may be, nor
can he visit the shops in a city alone.
He must have his impairment OF
riders, runners. and chair bearers. The
high class Chinese are slaves TO eti-
euette and cannot enjoy The simplicity Of
nature.
Another proverb says water cannot re-
main on the mountain. nor vengeance in
. great mind This ir an excellent ex-
ample Of folklore. The man OF sesu
mind remembers injuries and sights OF
all sorts, and studies to punish them
whenever there is an opportunity. The
man OF noble mind forgets them. To him
they are but raindrops on the ducks
back. The ducks back In abe Fnglish
proverb is the mountain side in tie Chi

OF the principle that an injury should be
reconpensed with Kindness. He objected
