FINE SCHOOL FOR INDIANS
New $4,000 Structure on Rosebud
Reserve, Known as st. Mary's
School, Dedicated.

Sioux Falls.-Members Of the Epis-
copal denomination in the southern
part Of the state are very proud OF a
new Indian school, erected by the Epis-
%copalians, which was dedicated a few
days ago on the Rosebud Indian res
ervation. 1t is known as st. Marys
school, and replaces a similar school
which was destroyed by fire a year
ago last August, causing a loss of $780,
900. Through the efforts of Rt. Rev.
Frederick Foote Johnson, of Sioux
Falls, Episcopal bishop Of South Dako-
ia, and his assistants, ample funds
were secured to rebuild the school on
a much finer scale. The structure
composing the main building of the
school is constructed of concrete.
Bishop Johnson presided at h ded1-
cation exercises, and this was n Of
his last official acts in that part of the
state preliminary to assuming his new
duties as %coadjutor bishop of the do
cese of Missouri, to which he was
eletcd some months ago. The new
school serves as a home and school
for Indian girls.

THE sPONGING SEASON
How Valuable Utensil Of the Bath
room Is Brought From the
Oceans Depths.

From October until July the spong-
ing season in the Bahamas is in full
swing. There are several thousand
men and boys engaged in the fishery,
each schooner carrying a crew of
from five to seven. The sponges are
found all over the banks, which vary
in depth from two to four fathoms.
Arrived on the ground, the small
boats, of which each schooner carries
two or three, put off, manned each
by two men, n OF whom SOULS,
while the other, armed with a 30-foot
pole bearing at the end a double
hook, lies extended over the bow and
examines the bottom through a
sponge glass;" or bucket with a glass
bottom. Laying this upon the sur
face, he sees everything below as
clearly as if no water interviewed.
The sponges when found are
hooked up, and as soon as the schoon-
er's deck Is filed she sails away to
? rancho" where she deposits her
evil-smelling load in a crawl" or in
closure Of wattles in shallow water,
where it remains for a couple of
weeks, during which the crew are
fishing for a fresh cargo.
On their return all hands enter the
crawl and beat out the now rotted
feshy parts of the sponges, which
when first gathered present the APP
pearance of round masses Of dark
india rubber, freely perforated.
When the feshy part has been
thoroughly removed and the market
able skeleton washed the heap is laid
on shore in a secluded spot n the
schooner starts again for the sponge
banks. At length. when enough
sponges have beer gathered and
cleaned to load the vessel they are
sorted by the crew into glove, reef,
lambs wool, grass, etc, and each
kind ia separately strung in rings of
from one to two dozen.
In this way they are sold at auc
Ion in the sponge exchange, when
the first step of the preparation for
the is carried out by the
sponge merchants. The sponges are
exposed to the sun to improve their
color. They are then clipped and
all Irregularities and pieces of shell
or rock are removed.-Harper's
Weekly.

running with a ~telegraphic dispatch.
It was addressed to Genera French.

most extremity" l answered. l knew
that he was thinking of his father.
But a more serious danger he had not
thought OF. What if. hard pressed, the
German should throw his companion
overheard, as SO much ballast, and fly
to safety? Well, though the chance
was slim, we could but do our utmost.
And a few bullets through the gas
bag should bring the great dirigible
slowly to earth.
My musings were interrupted by a
rush of wind. Could it be possible
that we were away? The earth seemed
to rush downward. h am grew
rapidly remote. We tipped n
swung on every vagrant breeze, but
gradually ascended until the strong
gale from the east caught us n

When the FIaq Looks Good.

81 have been in countries where the
laboring man had meat once a year;
sometimes twice-Christmas and Eas-

upon their heads q burden that no
man would like to carry, and at the
same time knitting busily with both

out meat; and when l thought of the
American laborer l said to myself:
After all, my country is the best In

we dipped and swung to every breeze,
In front, almost immobile to appear
ance In its steady fight, the dirigible
ran northward.
By noon we had gained little, II at
all. Cody turned to me.
I'm going to drop" he said.
There's a south wind, a cross-current,
500 feet below. See those geese RI
ding in 1t?"
l looked down. Under us, riding
easily upon the wind, a V-shaped flock
Of large birds were bearing steadily
south. Cody depressed the steering
plane. We sank with fearful sudden
ness. THEY'VE seemed to leap for
ward. In ten minutes our gain was
evident. The dirigible was not more
than a mile ahead and rapidly in
creasing. She seemed in terror, be-
gan to swing aimlessly hither and
thither. Five minutes more! Cody
whooped exultantly. Then
The motor, which had whirred like
an electric fan, chugged loudly and
~irregularly. We seemed to stop, hung
poised, swooped downward. The mo-
tor had ceased. We rushed down-or
rather the earth seemed to leap up at
us. Cody raised the steering gear.
That saved us; he guided her gently
to the ground. Near by stood a little
village of stone, ringing a low hill.

pointing to the dirigible, now rapidly
lessening in the north. NO chance
