Toys OF the civiIizer.

an her playtime the girl at the Indian
school is a somewhat touching little hg-
ure. She is surrounded by the toys of
the East. she nurses a doll who would
look down upon her with most unfilial
contempt-a fine lady doll from Paris.
She holds the unresponsive, cold, little
creature with the pink bisque cheeks and
the blue glass eyes close to her own cop
per cheek The round outline os the
fair face, the rough contour of the dark
one, the yearning in the black eyes the
slmper on the red lips, these are some
how pathetic, and they appeal to the
sentlmentalist as symbolic. The East is
Fest and the West is West, when the
Indian child tries to play with the Paris
doll. And 1t Is not the unresponsiveness
OF the little savage that makes the bar
rler between the two, but something
hard, cruel and self satisfied and unap-
preciatlve in the toy that civilization has
offered her in place of the playthings it
has taken away.
The idea of manual training is pcob-
ably wisely not absent even in the DIay-
things of the girl. The boys football and
top-spinnlng have 10 such Ia Mt. But the
Indian girls sew for their pretty little
pets. They have toy tubs, toy clothes
horses, toy ironing boards that mademoi-
selleS the frilled garments may ALWAYS
be kept immaculate and crisp They
have tiny sewing boxes that her lady
ships belongings may be kept in fair
repair, and one of the Quaintest sights
Ill the Santa Fe school is that of the
small Indian damsel withdrawn from tbe
games of the companions in the sunshine
seated on the floor of the deserted play
room, her doll across her lap, her fingers
busy fashioning a little gown, and her
lips grooming tuleless chant of the far
off wigwam.
"On the subject of needlework there is
one complaint at least to make. When
ever the Indian tribes have developed
any skill at all in weaving, moulding aud
coloring they have achieved results dis
tinctly interesting and frequently beau-
tiful. Their basketry, their pottery, their
! blanket and beddwOrk. have real value
as works of primitive art as well as eth
biological exhibits.
The same thing cannot be said of our
own fancy work. The cr0cheted mats
and ties of our diligent manufacture are
1 Interesting in no sense, unless as exam
pies Of the aesthetic degeneracy of civil
cation. Yet Indian girls are Taught to
make the ugly trivialities of the East.
| When they who have it in their blood to
weave Il basket of beautiful shape and Of
fine firm texture, or to bead mocassin

mat such as might stand beneath a
photograph album on country hotel
table. it Is held that something admirable

The Training of Children.

The following article WAS written by
Rev. DR. Talmage just before his deaths
I'VE want some counteracting influ-
enee upon our children. The moment
your child steps into the street he steps
into the path of temptation. There are
foul-mouthed children who would like to
besOil your little ones, 1t will not do to
keep your boys and girls in the house
and make them house plants; they must
have fresh air and recreation.
God save your children from the

the street! | know Of no counteractlng
influence but the power of Christian cal
tufe and example. Hold before your lit
tie ones the pure life of Jesus; let that
name be the word that shall exercise
evil from their hearts. Give to your in-
struCtion all the fascination of music

whence Comes ELECTRICITY

at time when electricity is rapidly
transforming the face of the globe,
when it has already in great measure
annihilated distance and bids fair to
abolish darkness for us, it is curious to
notice how completely ignorant ~the
plain man" remains as to the later de-
velopments of electrical theory. Some
recent correspondence has led me to
think that vague notion that electric
ity is a fluid which in some mysterious
way flows through telegraph wire
like water through pipe is about as
far as he has got, and if we add to this
some knowledge of what he calls 'elec-
trio shocks" we should probably ex-
haust his ideas on the subject. Yet
this is not to be wondered at. Even
the most instructed physicists can do
nothing but guess as to what electric
ity is, and the only point on which
they agree is as to what it is not.
There is, in fact, a perfect consensus
of opinion among scientific writers
that it is not a fluid. e., a continuous
stream Of ponderable matter, as is a
liquid or a gas-and that it is not a
form Of energy, as is heat. Outside
this limit the scientific imagination is
at liberty to roam where it listeth, and,
although it has used this liberty to q
considerable extent, no definite result
has followed up to the present time
