ROCKEFELLER'S
GIFT ACCEPTED
In Fact, Half of 1t Had Been Spent
Weeks Ago.
COMMITTEES STATEMENT
COULD NOT SIT IN JUDGMENT
UPON JOHN D.

D OSTON, Mass. April PA state
- ment was made public today by
the prudential committee of the
American board of commissioners for
foreign missions, which yesterday voted
to accept 100000 offered to the board
by John d. Rockefeller. Two weeks
ago the prudential committee adapted
the report of a subcommittee recon-
mending the acceptance of the money,
| but in view Of the strong protest made
by the Congregational clergy final ac-
ton was deferred until yesterday. when
Il supplementary report was made by
the subcommittee. This report. to-
sether with that of two weeks ago. was
ADOPTED. The supplementary report,
Whlcn was made public today. takes up
4 the objections of the protestants and
asserts that they are not sufficient to
prevent the board from accepting the
money.
One Point Raised.
One of the principal points raised in
the report is the claim of the commit
tee that the American board cannot
/ now legally return Mr.. Rockefelers
! money because the decisions of the
highest court are to the effect that
trustees who have once accepted a gift
ana assumed certain obligations have
no power TO return the gift and to alb
solve themSelVeS from those obligatiO
The cOmDlittee holds that by returning
I the gltt, as suggested by the protesting
cIergymen, the American board Will be

tact that the board already has used

The committee says:

/ The committee also contends that the

The Squirrel.

A squirrels natural term OF life Is
from fifteen to twenty years, and In To-
calities where they are little disturbed
they multiply with extreme rapidity.
Indeed, in the early history OF the
United States they were so numerous
in certain localities as to be almost a
plague, and large sums were annually
paid in bounty for the scalps. In the
west large hunts were organized by tho
early settlers in order to try to reduce
their numbers, as now 1t is found nee
essary to do to prevent the jack rab-
bits from becoming a scourge. to the
farmers. On these hunts thousands OF
SQUIRRELS wer killed, and yet from all
accounts their numbers were not great
ly reduced.

She had golden hair. sweet, dimpled

now she ruled her mother a good deal,

THE TOY GYMNAST.

ticular doll is kept sacred. It is played
with only on the feast-day, and for
the rest Of the year it is put carefully
away. These festival dolls usually
represent some person of note, and
this year it is not difficult to guess that
many of the puppets have borne the
names of Japan's great generals. The
Japanese dolls house is very faith
full representation of a Japanese, in
terror, complete even to the little cup
boards, perfectly appointed. The Japa-
nese children are very: fond of the
dolls theater, and their taste for leger-
demain leads them to prefer Juggling
and conjuring toys to any others. The
same taste is shared by young China;
but, generally speaking, the Chinese
children prefer less intellectual amuse-
ment than the Japanese. The business
spirit of the Chinese empire is re-
fected in the rising generation, and
small limitations of commerce play a
large part in the Chinese ch,ldren's
lives. The owners of little toy carts
organize mimic trading expeditions.
The boys also play at war with ships
and soldiers. The less active Chinese
girl has many beautiful little toys of
lacquer, ivory and porcelain.

CANDLE As ENTERTAINER.
Various Stunts Which the Boy or Girl
May Make tho Tallow Wick
Perform.

Grown people as we'll as children will
get a great deal of pleasure out Of the
following tricks, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer:
1. Put nail l.. the end of a candle and
set it in glass jar filled with water. The
nail will hold the candle steady, and Il
will burn until nothing remains, al
ways rising above the surface of the
water by reason Of the decrease in
weight.
2. Take a small picture cut from q
paper or book, and wrap it light round
a candle. Light a match or another
candle and hold the flame near until it
becomes transparent. Unwrap the pic
ture and every one will be surprised to
find it printed on the candle.
3. Put a candle unlighted into q
basin full of water. Let several try to
take it out with their mouths, not touch
ing the candle with their hands. Every
one will fail. Then you put your face
in the water, and when your mouth is
near the end of the candle draw in a
deep breath and the suction of the water
will draw the candle into your mouth.
4. Allow some drops from a lighted
candle turned upside down to fall into a
basin of cold water. The grease will
form flowers. String these on the end
of wire, and green leaves made from
paper, and a very interesting plant will
be the result.
5. Heat a piece of wire and stick It
through the middle of a candle. Make a
wick at both ends. Balance the candle
on two tumblers. Light the wicks, and
the dropping, of the candle grease will
make the candle seesaw, getting faster
and faster as it grows hotter. This Is a
very pretty experiment, and will cause
a great deal of amusement to young and
old alike.
