Weeds grow unasked, and even some
sweet flowers
Spontaneous give their fragrance to
the air.
And blood on hills, in wales, and ev-
erywhere,
AS shines the sun. or fall the summer
showers.
But wither while our lips pronounce
them fair!
Flowers of more worth alone repay
the care.
The nurture, and the hopes OF watch
full hours.
While plants most cultured have most
lasting powers.
So flowers of Genius that will longest
live.
Spring not in Minds uncultivated
soil.
But are the birth of time. and men

And all the culture Learning's hand
can give,
Fancies, like wildfowers, in a night
may grow;
But thoughts are plants whose stately
growth is slow.

Twenty-Five miles out of 1ndianap-
oils and seven miles west of Danvills,
Ind, the attention of the passenger
over the Big Four is attracted by
commanding structure of brick AID
stone. occupying an elevated positiSn
half a mile to the south. The building
is strikingly metropolitan, and its sub
stanial character is relieved of sever
ity by graceful arch, angle and sharp
" slanting gable. 1t stands on the
summit of an abrupt hill. surrounded
by great oaks, beeches and elms of tho
original forests. This is the Hadley
Industrial School for Girls.
The climb up the wide country lane
and steep slopes of the homes lawn
is amply compensated for by the beau
tiful view over the wide stretch of fer
tility as far as the eye can reach. Here
in this ideal extent of field and wood
land of the country's heart, one hun
dred and ten acres of the richest farm
land in the state has been devoted to
the care and education of the needy
and worthy girls Of Indiana. Eleven
years ago, Addison Hadley and wife,
Martha. realizing the need of an in
stitution for girls where they might
be given industrial training that would
fit them for useful and independent
lives, generously contributed the farm
on which the home was later erected.
Until quite recently there was no or
phan asylum for this sort of training
outside of penal institutions, and it
seemed that the dependent child must
become a criminal to secure the doubt
full advantages the state institutions
offered In 1896 the new twenty-two-
room building was opened with twelve
girls. The officers in charge consist OF
a man and wife, who superlntend the
house and farm. matron is in
charge of the culinary department, and
a teacher holds both day and evening
sessions during six months of the year
in the homes school-room. These Of
flcers are subject to board Of man
ayers in all matters pertaining to the
home. The running expenses are de-
frayed by the income from the prod
ucts of the farm and voluntary sub
scriptions from benevolent individuals.
Although the donors of the school are
members of the Friends church. the
school is undenominatonal Most OF
the girls over seven years of are are
professed Christians, and evince live
ly interest in church work.
The school Is for girls Of good char
acter, whose surroundings are unfavor-
able to the development of their high
err nature, and its purpose is to instill
into them the principles Of truth, the
ideas of purity, usefulness, temperance
and Christianity. They are ad-
mitted between the ages of six and
twelve years, and may remain until
eighteen years old. or when prepared
to maintain themselves by some honor
able employment.
At present in the school are thirty
six girls, who, with the aid OF five
grown persons, are learning the art of
living to some purpose. They range in
age from the dimpled lisper of six to
young womanhood of fifteen. They are
plump and rosy, and among the entire
number there Is not one unintelligent
face. The training is thorough and
sensible, their treatment is motherly
and wise, and the surroundings are
wholesome and uplifting.-Indianapo

The foreign ministers at Pekin have
prepared a list of high Chinese, officials
whose execution they demand as a
punishment for their completely in the
Boxer outrages and the attack on tbs
legations. OF the expediency OF this
demand, in certain instances, there
may be some doubt; but of its substan-
tial justice, assuming that the officials
did what they are reputed to have
done, there can be no question. While
the attempt is being made to distribute
responsibility and to exact penalty fol
these crimes, neither the foreign min

they represent can afford to be indif
ferent to certain other crimes, still

ITALIAN CHILDREN.

Italy is the first country in the world
where systematic effort has been
made to enlist the children in the
work of protecting the wild birds from
harm. DR.. Vitelanio Tonta recently
pointed out to the leading Italian
teachers that little children could cas-
lily be taught to love birds and that
this lesson, once learned, would never
be forgotten, whereas, If the lesson
were not taught until the children
were grown up little heed would be
paid to it except by those persons who
were naturally sympathetic and fond
of dumb creatures. In Germany France
and England, he said, there are many
persons who are interested in birds and
who are doing what they can to pre-
vent them from being killed for the
sake of their plumage, but in order to
do really effectual work more thor
ough crusade is needed and 1t Is only
from the ranks Of children that cru
saders Of the right type can be OBJ
tanned.
The Doctors suggestion has attracted
a good deal of attention and many
think it would be well for teachers
throughout the country to carry 1t
into effect, which they could easily do
by simply impressing on their pupils
the fact that 1t is wrong to be cruel
toward birds or any other innocent
creatures.
