A white card had been allpped under the door noleleaaly alg nai agreed upon between mother Itcnouf and me, to Inform me that my patient hnd at taut fallen into a profound lum ber, which aeetned likely to continue aome boura. The morning waa more than half gone before mother Itenout opened the door and came out to at, her old face looking more haggard than ever, but her little eyea twinkling wttn aatiafactlon. "All got' wall," h aald. "Your lit tle main'zell doe not think of dying yet." I did not atay to watch how Tardlf re- toived thia new, for I wa Impatient myaelf' to co how ahe wa going on, Tb'iuk heaven, the fever wa gone, the delirium at an end. Th dark gray eye, opening languidly aa my finger touched her wriat, were calm and intelligent. 8 he waa aa weak aa a kitten, but that did not trouble me much, I waa aura ber natural health wax good, and ahe would nou recover her lout trengtli.

"Book!" echoed my mother, I recollected (t one that the booka ahe might aetect, aa being lulled to a Bark peaaant, would hardly prove Interesting to my patient. I could nut do better than go down to Barbet' circulating li brary aad 'look out loin good work there. "V11, no," I eald; "never mind tho booka. If you will look out the other thing, thoae can wait." "Who are they for?" aaked my mother "For my patient," I replied. "What aort of a patient, Martin V ah Inquired again. "Her nam 1 Oilivlor." I aald, "A common name. Our poatman'a name ta Olllvler." "Oh, yea," ahe anawered; "I know aev era) famillea of Olllvler. I dare aay I ahould know thia peraoo If yoo could tell me her Chrlatlan name, le It Jane, or Martha, or ltachel?" "I don't know," I anld; "I did not ask." The packing of that hamper Intereated me wonderfully; and my mother, rather mated at my taking tbe auperlnterideuce of It In perton, atood by me In her ator cloact, letting mo help myaelf liberally. There wa a good apace left after I had taken aufflclent to mpply Mlaa Olllvler with good thing for aoio weeki to come, If my mother had not been by I .hould have filled tt up with booka. "Uive me a loaf or two ef whit bread," I aald; "the bread at Tardlf I roarae and hard, aa 1 know after eating it for a week." "Whatever are you doing hera, Mar tin?" exclaimed Julia' unwelcome voice behind me. "He haa baen living on Tardlf'i coarae faro for a week," anawered my mother; "ao now he haa compaaalun enough for bia Bark patient to pack up aome dalntlea for her. If you could only give hi in one or two of your bad headache he would have mora aympathy for you." "Have you had one of your headache, Julia?" I Inquired. "Th wont I ever hd," she amwrd, "It waa partly your going off la that raeh way, and the norm that cam on after, and th fright w were In. You muat not think of going again, Martin. I aball take care you don't go after we are married." . ' Julia bad been uaed to apeak out aa calmly about our marriage aa if it waa no more than going to a picnic. It grat ed upon m Jut then; though it had been much th aiiuie with myaelf. Ther waa no delightful agitation about the future that lay before ua. We were going to aet up bouaekeeplng by ouraelvea, and that waa all. There waa no myatary ia It; no problem to be lolved; no dlicovery to be mad on either aide. There would be no Blue Beard' chamber In our dwell ing. W had grown up together; now we had agreed to grow old together. That waa tbe aunt total of marriage to Julia and ma.

"Julia, my love," aald my mother, "re member that we wlab to how Martin thoae pattern whllat It I daylight. To morrow la Hunday, you know." A little tinge nf color crept over Julia' Untie face. We then drew near to the window, from which we could aee Hark o clearly, and Julia drew out of her pocket a very large envelope, which wa burallng with Iti content. They were tuiall crap of white allk and white aatln. I took them mechanic ally Into my hand, end could not help ad miring their pure, luatroua, gloeay beau ty. I paaaed my finger over them aortly.

EDUCATING; INDIANS. Wert Vkf lei School Gives The s Tlewesgh d Practical Tntataf, Waahlngton, Sept I. A study ot the results that have been attained at tha Indian school at Hampton, Va., gives a fair Idea ot what modern Indian edu cation will accompli? when conduct ed under the most favorable circum stance. Tbe Hampton school Is not primarily an Indian school, but rather on conducted Is the Interests ot th colored race. Special arrangement wu made by th Indian Office, through tbe sanction of Congrese, whereby not to exceed 120 Indians are sducatod st this school every year, and for which Congress appropriates $20,040. A study of tbe report of th superintendent of tbe school for the past year, Insofar aa it applies to the Indian students. Is rather Interesting. Among other facto brought out are the following: ' There were at the Hampton school last year 11 Indians 64 girls and (8 boys. They were chosen from 21 dif ferent tribe, the (tteldaa of Wlin In and tbe Sioux of North and Bot Dakota predominating. A plan has lately been devlied to encourage the Indians to keep cows and study prac tical dairying. A number hsvs besa taking special training In the car ot cattle and the making of butter and cheese. ; ' There will go from th Hampton school to the Oneida reservation with in the next year a number of boys and girls who have definite plans as to what they will endeavor to accomplish. Tbe Hampton Institute pursues similar plan with all Indiana, adiptlng th work of the school to the special condi tions at their respective homes. As far aa possible Hampton Is mad a miniature world where the young people learn to deal with problems similar to those which they will meet In the outside world. Work In the va rious trades I made more and more a part of each boy's course. Tbe grad uating class In carpentry haa taken for half a year one-halt a day each week at bricklaying, painting and tin smithing; tour hours at wood turning; six hours at designing a mall house: and the remainder ot each week la spent at the carpenter bench. The ahoe department made 385 pair of shoes; tbe harness department fixed 56 sets of harness;; the bricklayers have laid 450,000 brick, beside making all repatra to brickwork and plastering on the grounds. The machine shop turned out 172 gears, machined 700 trucks, and did considerable work for the electric light and power plant ot Hampton City, besides building s sli horse power vertical engine. Th woodworking machine ahop baa built and sold 71 trucks; the tailor shop made 302 uniforms. The manual train ing department gives Instruction to every student In the school. No boy graduates from Hampton without hav ing worked In wood, Iron and aheet metal, besides having taken a course In agriculture; no girl graduates with out having received instruction in woodwork, enabling her to mend and make small furniture, or without hav- In tmen tanirht ta emir And ...,. meala and to make her own dresses and underclothing. Ail pupila receiv ed Instruction In agriculture the past year. The head ot the department year. There are three courses In cooking at Hampton an elementary one In home cooking tor gtrla who are not likely to go very tar in the school; a more advanced class, and the normal course for post-graduate students who Intend to become teachers ot cooking. Besides the routine of the cooking classes, the tirla are taught to care for tbe dining room, to aet a table proper ly and wait on the table. In the sewing department the stu dents show real enthusiasm, and a spirit ot cooperation that ia striking. In addition to the regular aewlng courses, classes In basketry and lace making were conducted during th past yets). The head of the depart ment considers that as . training tor the hand and eye, baaketry Is in some . respect superior to aewlng, because tnacurate or alovenly work can readily be detected. Tbe study ot mathematlca la one of practical character. Bach student keeps a cash book, showing what the school owes him for work, what he owea the school for board, etc., and each month an account la rendered by the student to the treasurer's office. These two statemnta ahould agree, and If they do not means are taken to discover on which aide the error occurs. Articles are manufactured by the students, and the cost of materials, time, etc., Is kept ot record; Details for memorandums concerning trana actions on the farm, In the workshops, in the commissary and kitchen are sent in tof the classes to put In proper shape. In this way the Indians are taught to make practical application of thetr mathematical education. Thorough Instruction In vocal music Is given to the pupila. Negro Murderer Extradited.
