The sea was gloomier than ever
One day Zarra accompanied the little
fleet of fishing boats to their work 1t
was early on beautiful morning In
July. The fresh morning breeze gently
famed her cheerful countenance. A
heavy fog hid the entire coast from
view. Suddenly bright ray pierced
the dense fog like the shaft from the
bow of some god. Other rays followed
and soon food of light burst through
the fog. Beautiful : scarlet streaks,
patches of violet with trembling rose
colored edges, here and there a flaming
band of orange yellow, and azure blue
clouds, all combined to make SYM
phony of colors without comparison.
A breath of wind dissipated the fog
and the sun shone forth in undimin-
ished splendor and sparkled with many
hued colors on the surface of the sea,
which a gentle breeze had set in mo-
ton. Flocks of noisy sea gulls circled
above the ships, sometimes hoverlng
over the boats, sometimes skimming
along the surface of the water, their
wings dipping into the spray.

waves with the graceful motion of a

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

A Japanese boy has carried off first
honors at the Kansas City high school
Six years ago he could speak no Eng
lish. and he has supported himself at
school.
An official report shows that at the
cad of last year there were In Japan
81 agricultural schools, six fishery
schools, 20 technical schools, so COM
mercial schools, seven mercantile
schools and 50 industrial schools.
In 1902 the Central China Religious
Tract society issued 100000 volumes,
which, with the exception of gifts TO
students at the examinations, were
all sold. The books follow the Ch1-
nese to all parts of the world where
they have emigrated.
'All the churches in my district are
self-supporting this year." writes Rev.
J. Macgowan, of Annoy, China. "The
Chinese are money-loving people
almost as much so as the English
but when their hearts are touched
they can be as lavish as though
money had no hold on them whatso-
ever"
According to figures gathered by
DR.. Erskine White, secretary OF the
PRESBYTERIAN board of church erec-
ton, there are being erected in this
country some Is churches daily. The
Methodists are credited with building
three churches a day, the Baptists
two. the Lutherans ~. the Roman
Catholics IL, the Presbyterlans one,
the Episcopalians one, the COngrega-
tionalists three in four days, and the
remaining denominations ~ between
them. The average cost per church
building, including all churches, Is IN
the neiohborhood of $1,000; the aV-
erage daily expenditure for church
buildings being from $4,000 to $780,
900.
REQUIRED work is still the rule IN
the freshman class at Williams, but
recent regulations provide for choice
after that wear on the group system
whereby election in the large Is
maintained. and consistency in tend
ency and aim as well. The Yale cor
poration has just voted to extend
the elective system into the fresh
man year by allowing the student to
choose five out of eight courses OF
study. After 1904 advanced mathe-
MATES and modern language attain
ments will be taken as substitute for
Greek in the entrance examinations.
The corporation also voted that after
1906 retirement from teaching by pro-
fessors will become compulsory on
their reaching the age of 6s years.
