To Parents.

Parents who have children six years
old and who intend to have them enter
the first grade of the public school,
please start them next Monday, as a
beginners class will be organized at
that time. If it is inconvenient to start
your child at that time, let him enter
school at the beginning of the Fall
term. Better organization is possible
if the parents comply with this request.

with all this they are only children
and need much care and instruction,
which we believe they are getting
from those whose hearts are in the
work.
On Monday morning we started out
again, making circuit. of about
twenty-five miles, taking two days to
it, Bro. Sheets going with us, being
also accompanied by a native boy,
who carried our Victuals and bedding
ON his head. For the night we stop
ped at a large krall, where there
are four baptized members, three
sisters and one brother; also several
in the inquirers' class. Here we
we're very kindly received, and moth
ing was too much for them to do to
make US comfortable, The head
man soon ordered one Of the young
men to go and bring us a nice piece
of fresh beef having killed a young
OK that day. So we made prepare
tions to cook our supper, having a
pot with us. Soon they brought a
little rice to cook with our beef, and
wood to make fire; then cleaned
off a nice spot, laying down some
nice dry grass for our bed. After
supper was over and waiting for
our congregation we lay down on
our bed for little rest and soon
went off into a little dose When
some OF the people began to gather
We had them sing a few hymns until
about forty had gathered, both Bro.
Sheets and spoke. of course through
our interpreter, after which Bro.
Doner spoke a while and closed our
service. Some Of the young people
fingered around the fire and VI
got them to singing. which continued
for about another hour. When We
soon lay back on our pulpit. drew our
blankets over rs and had a good

During the day we visited a school
taught by one Of the native teachers. |
The school house vas constructed
Of poles plastered inside with mud

the purpose. In one corner of the
school house Bro. Doner cooked our
dinner, being a pot of porridge which
we relished, eating it out OF the pot.
On Tuesday morning we turned
our course homeward visiting another
school. Here there was only rude
structure erected of poles, covered
with grass. and tall grass set up
around three sides for the wall, the
other side being open. All were
seated on the ground except the
teacher who sat ON a little store box.
Although the old people cannot read,
some of them are very anxious to
have their children go to school.
/ must not forget to tell you Of
another place we came to where they
were busy cooking beer, where we
also had a service, after which Bro.
Doner asked them to bring US somea
thing to eat; so one went and brought
dish with some cooked corn and
beans and set 1t down before us. So
we concluded to brace up our appe-
tite a little and taste it at least,
which our finer appetite very strong
~ repulsed. So the writer excused
himself and preferred to go over to-
the fire and examine the earthen
pots in which the beer was being
cooked. This is the busy season for
this part Of their work. as they are
getting ready for their garden dig
gings which must usually have plenty

also had q little taste Of missionary
life in Africa, Of which Bro. Dcner
had his foregone conclusions and
plans to give Us a pretty good inf
tiation.

HUDSON MEMORIAL BRIDGE.
Structure Will Mark an Advance in
Concrete Constructions.

Structure Will Mark an Advance in
Concrete Constructions.
Ont Of the most interesting of the
proposed bridges around New York is
the Hudson memorial bridge, which will
cross the western end of Spuyten Duy-
vii creek, says the New York Post
COMMUNICATING the discovery Of the
Hudson River. it will serve as an eN-
tension to Riverside drive and to the
new subway from Ningsbridge.
Several plans have been worked out
by private individuals and by the de-
partment Of bridges. One of the first
called for Il steel arch bridge with q
span of 400 feet, but with this particu-
lar span it was found impossible to OBJ
tain proper foundations for the piers.
Another had Il span of $50 feet, but the
general design was rejected by the mu-
nicipal art commission. Finally the
bridge department took hold of the
problem, and after many preliminary
studies drew up a set of plans for Il
REINFORCED concrete bridge, which was
approved by both the art and bridge
commissioners.
4 REINFORCED concrete bridge of the
dimensions called for would be Il notable
advance in concrete construction, as no
structure like il has been erected. The
arch necessary to span the Spuyten
Duyyil creek will be one of the longest
in the world, even Including those built
of steel. 1t will have a clear span Of
T25 feet, which is nearly three times as
long as the new concrete bridge over
Walnut lane. Philadelphia, and within
175 feet of the span of the Niagara
bridge, over the Niagara river. The
arch will be built of concrete re-e1l-
forced with steel rods and expanded
metal. 1t will be about seventy feet
wide and twenty-five thick at the abut-
ments and fifteen feet at the crown.
On this massive arch concrete col
umns viii rest, supporting two floors.
The lower one is designed for four sub
way tracks, gas mains, water pipes, etc.
The upper one is for pedestrians and
carriages. 1t will have a clear width
of eighty feet, with a fifty-foot road
way in the ente and IL ~fifteen-fOot
sidewalk on each side.
Al each end of the main arch will
rise enormous concrete piers, ITO feet
wide. 30 feet long. by $50 feet high, to
which the bridge approaches will be
connected. These approaches Will also
he built of concrete and consist of seven
seali-circular arches. The arches are
to have los feet span and there will be
three on the Manhattan approach and
four on the Spuyten Duyvil. The
bridge. With its approaches, will be
nearly l,5o0 feet long.

WAsHINGToN's INAUGURATION.
Historic Scene When He First Took
the Oath as President.

Htstortc Scene When He First Took
the Oath as President.
Of all h monuments that have been
erected to American heroes and states
men none seems more fitting and appro-
pirate than the great bronze statue OF
George Washington on the steps of the
subtreasury building at Wall and Broad
streets, New York City. This splendid
likeness Of the Father Of His Country
marks the exact spot where he stood
when he took the oath Of Office on April
80, 1850. Furthermore, it marks the
exact financial center Of the nation
whose destinies Washington SO ardent
ly proclaimed to Congress and the as
sembled multitude on that faroff day.
When Gen. Washington, on his way
from Philadelphia, came up the bay
In a handsomely decorated barge all the
vessels in the harbor except one were
decked with flags. and there was a con-
tinuous roar Of saluting guns The sin

grim and sullenly silent. There was a
leelllS VI llulSldtleu tllOlS u1e CrO"uS
on shore when this was noticed, but at
the moment when the Presidents barge
came abreast the warship the Calves
tons yards were manned as if by magic
and her rigging burst INTO a bloom Of
fluttering flags as her guns crashed out
the presidential salute. Arm in arm
with Gen. Knox, Gen. Washington walk
ed across Battery park. \ carriage
was in waiting to convey the Presi-
dent to his lodgings in Cherry street,
but he preferred to walk. leading a
civic and military parade up Broadway.
AT dawn on the following day the
national salute was fired at Bowling
Green. Gen. Washington arrived with
n military and civic escort at Federal
hall at noon and was led to the Senate
chamber. AS he entered Vice President
Adams said:
"Sir, the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatlvcs Of the United States are
ready to attend you to take the oath
required by the constitution, which will
be administered by the chancellor of
the State Of New York"
II am ready to proceed" said Gen.
Washington.
The Vice. President, Senators and
chancellor then led the way to the
open outside gallery, and thereon the
spot where the statue now stands-the
oath Of Office was administered. As
Gen. Washington stepped upon the bal
cony the multitude in the street burst
into cheers. Gen. Washington wore a
suit of dark brown cloth, white silk
stockings, silver shoe buckles, and at
his side there hung a steel hilted sword.
His commanding figure lowered above
those who stood about him. As he
kissed the Bible and said II swear"
Chancellor Livingston raised his hand
and shouted, "Long live George Wash
lngton, President Of the United States!'
A few minutes afterward and while
the crowds still shouted in the streets
be delivered his immortal inaugural ad-
dress to the assembled Congress.
