a pretty fable of the pansy is current
among children. The flower has FIVE
petals and five sepals. In most pansies,
especially Of the earlier and less highly
developed varieties, two Of the petals
are plain in color and three are gay.
The two plain petals have single
sepal each, and the third, which is the
largest of all, has two sepals. The fable
is that the pansy represents 8 family.
consisting of husband, wife and four
daughters, two of the latter being step
children of the wife. The plain petals
are the stepehildren, with only one
chair; the two small gay petals are the
daughters, with chair each, and the
large gay petal IS the wife. with two
chairs. To find the father one must
strip away the petals until the stamens
and pistils are bare. They have a FAM
eifn1 resemblance to an old man with
flannel wrap around his neck, his
shoulders appraised and bis feet in
bathtub. The story Is probably ot
French origin, because the Frenchca

81 Professor Bray Of the Niles
Memorial College. Birmingham,

would say-and stands therefore
with his work IN a relation to rs
that constitutes an especial claim
for sympathy, financial help, and

Prof. Bray asks the women Of
our Church for FIVE hundred dol

able IN comparison with the value
of the work to be accomplished.
No class Of our population can be
by Christian training made more
Of an asset to the community; no

more a menace than the negro
girl. Our more privileged and
better-born white women set the
pattern by which. as far as mere
externals GO. many Of these negro
girls attempt to order their lives.
They initiate the grotesque fash
ions in dress and accentuate pecull
iarities Of uanner. but fail to ac-
quire a refinement that is inbred,
the moral principle that is stronger
than nature, and the taste that
education has developed. Through
such work as that being done at
the Miles Memorial College we
have every reason to believe that
negro girls are being made par
takers of the better things Of our
Southern life-its ideals and sdu-
Gated capacities.
Possibly many eyes will rest up
on this paragraph, and many
thoughtful young women will
breathe a regretful sigh because.
they have no money to give In re-
spouse 10 this worthy appeal But
they can give something that IS
better. Bv means Of an attitude
OF sympathy toward these less
favored negro girls they will open

A humorous story is told of the Queens
sojourn at Biarritz. The Queen, during
one Of her walks, met nursemaid and
baby. Her Majesty stopped and made some
pleasant speech about the baby whereupon
the nursemaid- an English woman so
overwhelmed with awe and confusion that
she turned and fled, leaving the baby with
the Queen, who had to send her gentleman
in-waiting in hot pursuit. When the maid
had been induced to return the Queen asked
her to whom the baby belonged. ssDr. NJ, -
replied the nurse, naming the English doc
tor in Biarritx- 'eThen tell DR.. NJ that

A recent circular issued BY the Treasury
Department proposing to ship free of charge
to persons desiring them nickels and PEN
MES in certain quantities on receipt of tbs
face value has suggested some inquiries in
regard to the cost OF these coins to the
United States, and how it IS that they can
afford to ship them at par value, paying ex-
press charges upon them. The result OF
these inquiries has been the discovery that
the nickel costs at the mint less than three
quarters Of a cent, while it is put in circula-
