supplemented his generosity by pur- chasing for us another large tract of land adjoining, Little by little the Wldows' mites flowed in, helping us lay the foundations of our home for convalescents. No, indeed. We are an independent institution. although observing the rites of the Episcopal Church. At no creed do we draw the line. All are welcome, provided they
 bear the marks of pain and suffering,
 We would be only to glad to take care of many more than we do, but it is often hard to do even that. The significance of our profession" glanc- ing down at his worn serge robe, Ties in the fact that we strive to be first rate architects of the body. There is also the advantage that nearly all serv- ice is rendered voluntarily. And no salaries are paid, unless it be to the cook. That ceems to be a necessity" And a rueful smile lit his. face. That old Viking of the AmeSican Navy, Dr Edward N. Jenkinson, is our body guard. And there are manS others"
 A couple of trim little lads in khaki, giving a military salute as thS paused brought forth an allusion to Number of groups of boys who were eAgaged at road making and building.
 These are the :===-T5ers of our Junior Republic which has been in existence since 1891. This building, St Paurs School, was presented by the general who gave the land. Our sys- tenn is similar to that used at Georges Republic, modified to meet the needs of the boys. Here homeless lads, from every. walk and station in life, are moulded into fine men, being taught the art of self-reliance and mastery over themselves. We save them from re- formatories and the evils of street ex- 1stence, and the discipline is conducted by the boys personally During the spring, summer and early fall the boys are instructed in Horticulture, gardening road making, surveying and fowl rais- ing. Whenever special talent Is shown given trade is taught, such as print ing, book binding and wood carving. Punishment? Oh, yes, but administered by the boys themselves. It is the miniature of a small town, for our numbers are comparatively few. How ever, self-government is our aim"
 While watching a knot Of boys who were laying a roadbed, the practical value of this method of training was at once evident. With more of the cau- tion and exactness of a paid laborer each boy laid the stones in ulace. while, an older lad stood by as timekeeper and bos. With plummet and line they worked sturdliy and without looking up, and later, when the whistle blew, fell into the line under the watchft eye of young patrol. Each one re- ceives his reward or fine according to his merits, and the decision is left to q. young judge, who is elected to that position by the vote of the boys. The dignity with which he presided over his small court was worthy that of. an old time politician. From various parts of the farm came trooping in the working corps of daferent departments, and the tactics used suggested army discipline.
 As the early shadows of departing days were showly creeping toward the east, the last glance at Priory Farm and it's maker, Brother Gilbert, carried with it the impression of what one man can do who has faith and works with a, definite and ennobling goal in view. -(Brooklyn Eagle.)
