A WHALE.

Perhaps you would Ike 20 hear

Maine this summer. We were sitting
on the deck of the steamer when,
away in the distance, we saw large
jet of water shoot into the air. The
people all hurried to the side deck.
and when the fountain of water had
stopped we could see the whale. 1t
looked like large. black rock pro-

until it was lost to sight.-Helen

U. s. Supreme Court So Decides-Jus-
tees Harlan and Day Dissent.

Washington, d. C. - In deciding
the case of Berea College VS.. the
State of Kentucky the Supreme Court
held that the States may legislate to
prevent the co-education of the white
and black races. The case was
brought to test the validity of the
Kentucky law of 1894 prohibiting
white and black children from at
tending the same schools. The high
er State court took the position that
the white and black races are natur-
ally antagonistic, and that enforced
separation of their children is in the
line of the preservation of the peace.
The opinion of the Supreme Court,
handed down by Justice Brewer, af-
firmed the finding of both the Ken
lucky Circuit Court and the Court of
APPEALS. Justices Harlan and Day

INDIANS.

AS ! spent two months OF the past
winter in California, I thought
would tell you OF some of my expert
ences on the way out. On the second
day after we left Chicago the scenery
became so very interesting that l
spent most Of the time on the obser-
walton platform at the end of our long
train. In the morning, after we had
crossed the Canyon Diable, we COM
menced to see the mud huts and
adobes Of the Indians. Every once in
while we would catch glimpse of
the Indian women in their shawls
and Navajo blankets. Some of them
would have their pappooses strapped
to their backs. We would wave to
them, and while some just stared at
us, others would wave back. Outside
of the adobes were their mud ovens,
where they cooked their meals. Fur
Their on we would see the male In
dams blowing in the fields They
would stop just long enough to wave
their hands, and then take up the
plows and trudge on. Whenever the
train stopped to get water, the Indian
women would come down to the train
to sell their pottery and bead work.
They would come to our platform
and lift up their wares, saying, "Ten
zentz; TWENTY-FIVE Zentz," etc. AS
they had very pretty things, almost
every one bought something. About
noon we stopped for about forty min
utes, at Albuquerque, most interest

BABIES TO SELL.

Dear me! What do you call
that?"
The missionary shaded her eyes
from the setting Indian sun and
peered down the road.
At first, tent woven of straw
seemed to be walking straight to-
wards her, but soon she saw three
pairs of brown legs were beneath.
She watched with growing interest.
Straight on they came, and halted
under a spreading banyan tree on the
mission premises. Then the tent be-
gan slowly to come down, and settled,
as if for the night.
Dear mel" said the new mission
airy again, II wonder if, they are going
to stay here. l must see what they
want--in the morning" And so
when morning came and the mission
airy felt very brave, she walked out
to call on her new neighbors.
A big man with no shoes or stock
ings or hat or shirt was cooking
breakfast in tiny brass pot placed
upon few stones. A little girl was
securing her shining white teeth with
a piece of charcoal.
"Salaam," said the man, putting
his hands together at his forehead
and bowling almost 20 the ground.
"Salaam," said the little girls shyly,
and then running towards the tent
she pulled away the straw door and
looked as if to say, won't you go
in?'
The missionary stopped and put
her head inside, and what do you
think she saw? The dearest, littlest
mite of a brown baby lay on the
ground blinking it's eyes in the light;
and over in the corner, on pile of
weeds, lay the poor sick mamma.
The little girl carried the baby OUT
side in her arms. "It's nice, fat
baby" she said, kissing it.

LILY OF THE VALLEY.

Once upon time, a long while
ago, there lived in tiny house near
large garden a fairy mother with
ever and ever SO many fair children.
All the children were dressed
alike, in green slippers and stockings,
white suits and white pointed caps
with dewdrop shining on top.
One evening the fairy mother said:
."You may take your small ivory buck
cts and fill them with dew from the
flowers in the garden, but be sure to
come home before the sun rises"
Of they started, running and
swinging the buckets in their hands;
instead of working, they began to
teeter on the grass blades and play
hide-and-seek among the flowers.
And do you know, they played and
played all that night, and forgot all
about the dew and the ivory buckets,
till the great red sun could be seen.
1t was past time for going home
and too late to gather dew.
What would the fairy mother say?
"We'll hang our ivory buckets on
these stems, and tonight come and
fill them" they said.
Then they went home, and they felt
very sorry when they saw how sad
their fairy mother looked.
AS soon as the sun went down, they
hurried to the garden. First one lit.
tie fairy, then another and another,
tried to pick his bucket from the stem
where he had left it, but it was of no
use. All the buckets were tightly
fastened to the stems and turned up
side down.
They have been fastened that way
ever since, and perhaps if you look in
your garden you will find some of the
fairies ivory buckets. Emma L.

Among the captives carried away
from the land of Israel by the army
of the King of Syria was little girl,
who became handmade to the wife of
the captain of the Syrian army. Now
when the little captive maid found
that her master suffered from a ter
rible Illness, she remembered the
great prophet in her own land, who
was able to heal people of disease.
And she told her mistress that if
only her master could see the prophet
who dwelt in Samaria he could be
cured. So the Syrian captain went
to the land of Israel asking to be
cured. Now the King of Israel feared
that he had only come to seek a
quarrel. But when the prophet
heard of his visit he sent and told
him to wash seven times in the River
Jordan and he would be cleansed.
But the Syrian captain was too proud
to do as the prophet babe, saying,
"Are not the rivers of Damascus bet
ter than the waters of Israeli" And
he went away in rage. Afterward
his servants persuaded him to do as
the prophet had said. And he went
and dipped seven times in the Jordan.
and was at once cleansed of his dis
ease.
Do you remember the names of
the Syrian captain and of the prophet
to whom he was sent by the kind
hearted little captive maid Wash
