 The children who frolic by the shores of the frozen sea and dance with the Northern Lights even have mechanical toys among their playthings. One is wooden doll representing a man dressed in skins.
 He holds a drum in one hand and a stick in the other The arms are made of whalebone, and by pressing them to- gether at the shoulders the figure can be made to move as if beating a drum.
 Strange Mechanical Doll
 Then they have little toy kaiaks, or canoes. in which are seated dolls with paddles in their hands. By pulling string the doll is made to move its head from side to side and make a motion as if padding.
 The girls are fond of playing cats cradle. Two little girls will sit in one of the underground houses, or in one of the huts made of frozen snow, and. by the light of a stone lamp, fed by seal oil, will play at this game for hours. making all sorts of complicated figures with the string.
 The favorite figure, and a difficult one, is the representation of reindeer which, by moving the finger, is made to run down hill from one hand to the other.
 Lieutenant Ray who was in charge of the government station at Point Barrow. says that the children are so polite that they would take pains to mispronounce native words in the same way as he did so as not to hurt his feelings by ap- bearing to correct him bluntly

Banks and Publicity.

From the Financial Review
 The Bowery Saving bank of New York, one of the richest banking institutions ip that city, advertlses for depositors. This Yoliey Is being llberally discussed in Boston, MNere the old style policy has been in force. .9wever, one Boston savings bank has op -nly advertised for depostors and what this bank has dared to do the older and more conservative institutions will probably approve one by one as the financial value ef adyer>a Using Is realized
 One institution. whose deposits reach $3O, ,OO0, 0OO does not care for any increase beyond the normal increment that comes to 1t from it's regular depositors and thinks 1t hardly in the spirit of the his- toric precedent to advertise. However, the fact that the younger banks are un- affected by this precedent and are break ing away from custom one by one shows that competition has crept into the bank ing business. as into any other branch of our financial and commercial systems. Publicity cannot hurt a bank that IS wisely and successfully administered.

Then the player balances the ball on the toes of one foot and with a kick and jump throws it to the other foot, which catch es it and throws it back. Some of the players are so expert that they will keep this up for a number of strokes without letting the ball Tall lo 'he ground.
 The children of this tip-end of Uncle Sams land also amuse themselves in winter by sliding down the steep banks of frozen snow which form under the cliffs along the shores of the frozen sea. They use no sleds or toboggans, not even boards, in this sport, but slide down the steep declivities on their i,nees
 Kneeling down and sitting well back with their hands grasping their ankles, they go shooting along down great steep hills of snow, laughing and shouting, and now and then losing their balance and getting a tumble which send" them roll ing in heap to the foot of the snow hill.
 Both boys and girls at Point Barrow are fond of playing football, but they seem to have no order or system. They simply get an old mitten or old boot, and stuff 1t with bits of waste deerskin or rags, and then kick it about with merry shouts and in great confusion
 The children are very fond of dancing, and if they can get hold of and old tin can which some whaler has left they are happy Beating the tin can for drum, they improvise dances for them- selves and invent songs to accompany them.

The Methods of LorenZ.
The Tide of Public Opinion Now Set
ting Against Him.

There seems Just now to be a dis
position to underrate the good done
by DIR. Lorenz in this country, just as
sensation-loving people were inclined
to overrate him some time ago. 1t is
charged that the "Lorenz method
lot only does not invariably cure but
sometimes results in the death Of the
patient. The same might be said of
any other sort of surgical or medical
treatment.
Little doubt can be entertained of
the success of DIR. Lorenz in treating
certain cases Of hip disease. 1t is also
true, in all probability, that methods
similar to his were in use by physi-
clans in this country some time ago.
He himself did not claim to have
originated an entirely new method.
He is not responsible for all the fail
ures of his imitators and of those who
use his method without his skill.
Moreover, it is exceedingly likely
that some of the cases brought to him
for treatment were of such a nature
that nothing could cure them. The
head of a Washington hospital re-
Gently complained that a large per
centage of the patients brought to
that institution came there only after
nothing more could be done for them
by physicians; and that thus the hos
pital was discredited. 1t always is a
consequence of a great sensational
cure that incurables are brought to
the physician for treatment, and are
disappointed if he is unsuccessful.
This Is unreasonable. DIR. Lorenz is
undoubtedly great surgeon, and re-
sponsible for some marvellous cures ;
bat he is no magician, and does not
pretend to be.

A New Free Lodging House.
Plan to Prevent Waste and Economic
Charity.

The plan recently mfolded by the
Washington branch of the Salvation
Army is one which should receive
the cordial cooperation of every good
citizen. The army purposes to estab-
ish lodging house in which home
less men can be accommodated for a
few cents, if they have If to pay; for
nothing at all, if they are penniless.
This lodging house will be maintained
Iii part by contributions from charit-
able people, collected by the benef-
ciaries. They will be asked to collect
clothing, furniture, and other articles
Of no use to the householder, and
these articles will be repaired by the
army and its employees and bestowed
upon needy people.
Anybody who has had much to do
with the poorer classes in Washington
knows that there is an immense waste
III the giving of the ordinary person,
especially when it comes to clothing.
The clothing east off by the well-to-
do is often somewhat dilapidated, and
without repair quickly goes to pieces.
If repaired or remodeled before given
to the poor it would do twice as much
good
1t is also true that the destruction
of the poor is their poverty, when it
comes to furniture buying. They buy
necessary articles on the installment
plan, paying, In many cases, consid-
erably more than the articles are
worth, with the result that by the
time the table or chair or bedstead
l. paid for it is too rickety to use.
The better made furniture of well-to
dc people would often be twice as
valuable, with a little repairing.
Thrift, in a word, is a necessary ac-
compartment of philanthropy, and if
the Salvation Army can teach the
poor to be thrifty it will have done
a great work.

comes but slowly. For this very rea-
son, perhaps, German thought and
character have had strong influence
on the life of the American people.
The essential kinship of German
and English thought became first ap-
parent in this country when the great
wave of university reform-it was
nothing less-broke over the American
colleges Longfellow was its prophet
at Harvard, as he was in American
literature. Before the young poet
came to be professor of modern Ian
guages at Harvard, the college was
practically in the same form and
spirit as it was half a century before.
His influence broadened it and gave
ii Roadway in its progress toward that
catholic and liberal spirit which is
one of its Distinguishing characters
ties today. The other colleges fol
lowed Harvard In welcoming German
thought, more or less cautiously, and
the influence Of Heidelberg, of Leip-
zig, of Gottingen, was found pecu-
harly congenial and necessary to the
r.pening scholarship Of America.
In the everyday life Of the people
German character has been no less
factor. The genial, simple habits of
the Fatherland, he absence Of
asseticism, the love of children and of
home, of flowers and of land, have
served to mellow the sharpness of the
American spirit, and quiet its rest
lessness. They have given perma-
Eence and solid, if sometimes stolid,
virtues to a developing civilization
which might otherwise have been as
impermanent as the waves Of the sea.
Other immigrants might herd to-
gether in the cities; the German
sought fresh air and the virgin soil
Others might be lured by high wages
OF love of adventure; the German inn
migrant wanted a home. Others
might be forever restlessly seeking Of
fee; the German was content without
the show of power if he could secure
the reality. And all this has been a
very necessary element in the develop
ment of the American people as
whole. The Anglo Saxon furnishes
the motive power of our progress; the
Teuton is the steadying weight which
prevents disaster.

stitutes a bourne of pilgrimage to almost
every American tourist who visits Eng

siderable interest In this country. The

is that the head of the house OF Gre

friends exhibited newspaper, which had headed

Law Is Constitutional.

Is the law OF Congress authorizing the con-
strnetion OF the union station, tunnel, and via
duct unconstitutional, as 1 have read in the
papers? RAILROAD
NO; Congress has exclusive jurisdiction
over the District of Columbia. The
ground on which certain persons affect
to question the legality of the act is up
on the fact that Congress decreed that
direct taxes should be used to pay the
railroads for the property on the Mall
and for other items of the work. The best
lawyers think this question would go
back to the law of 1878 and would involve
the constitutionality of that statute.
