 THE KINDERG ARTEN-


 Our friends, the mothers. contrive in one way or another to waste a good deal of precious time in the course of q year, but when they rise in the de- fense of the kindergarten they deserve all the encouragement and boosting possible.
 The kindergarten is the basis of all good citizenship and every dollar that is spent on this blessed institution re- turns in benefactions a hundred fold. It teaches s'self government and inde- pendent thought and better still. it teaches that {" love of things both great and small" which causes q child naturally cruel. to respect ani, nal life. If the child at the kindergai- ten learned nothing more than to de- sist from throwing stones at dogs and cats, treading on inoffensive insects and pulling wings from flies. he would still be benefited to a lasting degree We love the kindergarten because it teaches love and humanity in a prac- tical way. and because all it's lessons are brought home with immediate re- suits Parsimony in withholding money from such a school is a public blunder amounting to a criminal stu pidity.

VIEWS OF THE ELEVATOR MAN
Nothing Monotonous About His Job
 One Who Wanted a Skull.


 Nothing Monotonous About His Job
 One Who Wanted a Skull.
 ssWho says my jobs monotonous r the elevator man in the department store snorted. That floor walker? Did he say it? Oh, fudgew Deftly the man turned his silver wheel, and like a rocket the car shot, with a smooth, luxurious movement upward. He re sumed: Down and up, up and down this shaft 1 go, like one o, them mon keys on a stick that children play with. The shaft is 160 feet long. To ascend and descend it, takes me more than a minute. I make 45 trips an hour That is to say I travel in an hour IA, 400 feet, and in my nine hour day I travel 29,6O0 feet, or 43,200 yards, or 20 miles. Ain't that wonder full? Nothing monotonous about that is there?' !
 T study human nature in this gay little cage of mine, with its mirrors an tufted cushions an polished metals an hear everything, nothing escapes me, an' my think-tank near slops over with good thoughts. Do you see that hollow place in the floor? Well, that's a lesson in the vanity of women. Stand in it and look ill the mirrors. You can see yourself in about nine diff ferent points O. view at once, can't you? You can see the back O your head and the fit O your coat. You can see your profile. an dear knows what else besides. It's fine view that you can get from that hollow place, an about 10000 women are aware O the fact. So they crowd Into my elevator an they pretty nearly fight to stand in that one spot. Thus they wear down the floor there, an a patch has to be put ln 1t there every six months.
 An elevator, like a locomotive, gets cantankerous when it needs a rest You halt it then. You give it a couple of days off. If you don't it shows a very nasty disposition in stoppin' an startin. You turn the wheel to start it, an zing-zing -zing!-it shoots up so fast that everybody in it falls on the floor. They scramble to their feet. laughin' or mutterin', according to their temperaments, an then when you % 10 stop it, it pulls up so sudden that the passengers heads, by jings, bump 'iiC SVliih " eil, they WOIlI stand Tor that, you know, so the elevator gets the rest it's lookin' for. It demands this rest about once in three months.
 Passengers put queer questions to me sometimes. They seem to think q department store sells everything.
 Which floor is your skulls on?' a farmer says to me one day.
 'Skulls?' I says. What kind o' skulls? For I thought, you know. he meant oars.
 Why, human skulls, soung feller', says the farmer.
 :. Go way back says I. sThis ain't no morgue. This is department store, where we sell 1aces an silks an trimmings. You won't get no skulls here'
 Well the farmer boarded me again week later. Mail order department. young feller,' he says. T want to get my skull exchanged.' An he opened up his carpet bag. an there was q skull in it, sure enough. He'd got it through our mail order department, an that departmental. sell you anything, by sosh."

INDIAN INDUSTRIES.
Revival of Unique Art in the Western Reservations Is Now Being
 Encouraged.

A general idea prevails that North American industries have small trade and smaller artistic value. It is not correct, says Youths Companion.
 Two devoted missionary workers in Oklahoma, by encouraging the making of beadwork, have rescued an almost lost-art, and created so large an out side market that IT Indian women earned collectively over $1, 100 during the past year.
 In almost every large city Indian shops are springing up, and the large department stores have sections for the exclusive sale of Indian work. Ev- cry museum is dusting off its Indian baskets and blankets and pottery, and collectors are eagerly buying up the older specimens on the plains and meSaS.
 The art of our Indians is unique. The Navajo blanket, for instance, repre- sents the best weaving in the world to- day. It will withstand the tread of elephants, it is impervious to water, 1t will keep a man warm in the bitter est weather, and in it's earlier forms the colors are imperishable.
 A second example of beautiful na- tive art is the old Indian canoe. Mrs. Candace Wheeler declares that some of the canoes she has seen on Puget sound, canoes hollowed from huge red woods, exquisitely carved, stained in marvellous tints and classical designs. are so perfect as art specimens that they deserve to be preserved to pos terity in glass cases.
 Moreover, experts affirm that Indian leather, as manipulated by the elder workers, is only comparable to that made in ancient Cordova It is fact that the United States has ignored for many years native arts and crafts which, wisely fostered, would have add ed immensely to the artistic and eco homie wealth of the whole nation,

Origin of the Sabbath.

The Sabbath as q religious institu- ton is far older than the Penta- teuchal legislation. It, too, can be traced back to a Babylonian proto- type, not, however, as a day of rest from labor, but as kind of atone ment day, when by various rites and by observing certain restricted reg ulations the anger of the gods could be appeased On this old institu- tion the Hebrews ingrafted their re- ligious ideas and produced the unique institution of day observed as a respite from the weeks toll, and which, being an ''inauspicious'' occa- sion, dies irae, is viewed as a "de- light. t."-Independent

 VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 The four Otis and the other high class vaudeville stars who are making such a fine showing at the Jacques this week, continue to attract many people to the house, and the show is voted on all sides as an uncommonly attractive illustration of vaudeville. The Liy- ingston family of acrobats, one man and two ladies, give remarkable ex- hibition of tumbling and head mount ing, and the act is made additionally attractive by reason of the young la dies working in long skirts. Miss Ina Allen, robust and handsome yoEng woman, is a capital contralto, and she introduces some highly entertaining vocal selections Another capital sing CT is Miss Adams, of Kelly and Ad- ams, and her Irish songs never fail to catch on.

The Proper Fad.

Max O'Rell cables the following
momentous item from Paris. and the
society folks can pay such attention
as they choose to the latest caper OF
u modern society:
\ few weeks ago | cabled YOU the
forthcoming revival Of hand-kissing in
Paris and the disappearance Of the silly
high hand-shake which ought to have
died a natural death long ago. The new
custom is now going on smoothly. 1T
is now no longer good form for a Paris
ian to shake a lady's hand. Instead, he
is practicing himself in a complicated
ritual Of kisses suited to all degrees OF
friendship and acquaintance.
The spot that is kissed marks the
point Of favor he has reached. II a
mere acquaintance he is confined to the
tips Of the first and second fingers.
As the friendship rlpens the kiss grad
ually steals past the knuckles and long
the back Of the hand
The palm. too, may be ventured,
| would imagine at some risk Of tick
ling its owner. but complete felicity
is only reached when the man ma!
firmly grasp the lady's hand and busy
himself with the wrist. So far the
wrist seems to be the kissing terminus
there is no travelling beyond it in pub
lie at any rate.
