18 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. POKTLASD', MAY G, 1900. i - NORTH END CHILDREN "WHAT IS BEIAG DOXE FOR THEM IX THE FBEE KIXDDRGARTEJu Boys' Brigade of Third-Street MIs- xioa "Will Soon Give Exhibition Successful Sunday School. Few people know of the good -work that la quietly being done among the children of the 2Corth End by the Free Kindergar ten Association. A few weeks ago they began work In the Third-Street Mission, the Rev. J. E. Snyder having kindly of fered them the use of the boys' reading room for that purpose. There are now 46 mildren enrolled, with 10 more In pros pect that will soon be added to this num ber. The visitor who is guided by the gay yellow sign-board near Davis street, marked "Free Kindergarten," will find a Hight of stairs leading from the street tip i to cleanliness, and glad, well-ordered :work. There is assembled one of the hap ' ptest crowds of children that can be seen within a radius of 20 miles; a good share of the Spring sunshine seems to have t yound its way into their faces. Many of them are considerably under the kinder garten age, chubby little tots of 2 and 3 years toddle around with the C-year-olds In the march, or raise their baby voices bravely up to the song of morning greeting; for Miss Barin, their teacher, thinks this is better than for them to &q left alone, unguarded, down in the streets below. Their first lessons were in color and form. Bright-huod balls, each showing tone of the seven colors of ttie rainbow, iwere given them to play with. In this rway, through merry little songs and igames, they became acquainted with the Tvarlous colors, and are now able to tell j readily the color of the girls' dresses or 'hair ribbons, or the prettily tinted papers ithey use In their work. By means of the j3all they become Intelligently acquainted 'with the meaning of the word "round," .and are soon able with needle and thread to outline the circle on a sewing-card. The next step is to model the ball out of clay. This Is great sport for the young sters, hut it is fun that has a lesson Hiidden behind it. By this means and many others, right conceptions of color end form are acquired. On sunny days, Miss Barin hrin gs out a glass prism and with eager, wide-open eyes they see the miracle of separating into seven brilliant colors the sunbeam of ' white light that enters at the window. Or by the aid of a small looking-glass -she sends a flash of glittering sunlight dancing about on the floor. It Is the "light-bird," and what a gay scramble there is for it "What laughter and bump ing of heads, and splinters in rosy fingers. First one pair of dimpled hands and then another clutches It. only to find It Jump ing from them high up toward the ceil ing or out of the window Into the street. "Neither children nor grown people can have every pretty thing they see," Miss Barin finally says, with a wise smile at their flushed, disappointed faces. And how could this hard life-lesson be brough: homo to unthinking childhood with less bitterness or more kindly grace? From which it will be seen that the children of the Free Kindergarten are absorbing something of the philosophy and the ethics of life, as well as information of a more simple and practical sort. Th many delightful ways In which the little homely truths of every-day life are brought home to these childish minds can. not be enumerated here, but a glance at the walls of the kindergarten-room, hung with pretty. Instructive pictures, and bright with all manner of decorations made by these baby fingers, goes far to tell the tale. Over there on the wal. fir Instance. Is a valentine showing a do-.e carrying a letter in its bill, with a tender love mes sage Inside, all on a softly-tinted back ground. Thirty or more of these were ie on St. Valentine's day, each one of which was carried home to a careworn mother, or a sick little sister, or. some body else to whom It brought a gleam of gay kindergarten sunshine. And there Is the George "Washington corner, which dates from the 22d of Feb ruary, Framed In bunting and the Stars and Stripes, are pictures illustrating the life of the man who was the father of his country. Any child in the room can tell all about him, and how they all marched on that day, each with a little flag In his hand, which had to be held up proudly and bravely in the air, and could not be seen trailing In the dust or treated with aught hut reverence and respect. And there in the window are boxes planted with nasturtium seeds that will isoon 6end down long, trailing vines of aioom toward the street pavement below. Fhese and the tiny trillium garden that Jbelongs to each child were planted ahout two weeks ago, for the Easter programme was more elaborate than any that had ure- ceded It. It filled a whole week with hard but fascinating work for the little hands. On Monday preceding Easter the time was spent In cutting a trillium lily out of white and green paper, and mount ing it on brown cardboard, and while they worked they sang a song about the little white lily that sat by a stone, drooping and waiting till the sun shone. But their favorite song Is the following, for by tapping their finger tips against the kindergarten table they make a very clever imitation of the sound of the pattering raindrops: To the great brown house -whore the flowers dwell, Camo tho rain with Its tap, tap, tap. And whispered "Violet, Snowdrop, Roso, Tour pretty eyes you must now unclose Prom your lone. Ions "Winter's nap," Said the Rain with Its tap, tap. tap. From the doors thoy peeped with a timid grace. Just to answer this tap, tap, tap. Miss Snowdrop courtesied a sweet "Good Day!" Then all camo nodding- tholr heads so gay, And they said. "We've had our nap! Thank you. Rain, tor your tap, tap, tap." And on Tuesday they learned a song of the hen, while they modeled clay eggs which were left to dry for the rest of the week. Wednesday, Miss Barin gave hem an interesting talk about the lily, and they worked on their sewing cards, on each of -which was mounted a fluffy, downy little chicken, loosing at its broken eggshell. Thursday the boys brought in great bunches of trllliums from the woods, and the children learned, by dictation, how to make a trillium lily out of quar tered steel lines or various ji! fcrTiaay vas the day of the "Easter Rrij jacn ooy ana girl had a cup of It water, in which thev ttpw aiinirui t h an egg apiece, covering these with krees of bright mas r.aiirn nn .it hpers of rabbits, kangaroos and other titresung quaarupeds.

The Boys' Brigade. A Temarkahle work is being done among the boys of the North End by Rev. J. E. Snyder, who Is In charge of the Third Street Mission. He has a Boys' Brigade comrr-sing from 40 to 50 members of vari ous ags between S and 16. This meets everj Monday night. A good many of the boys are bootblacks and newsboys, and Just at present they are all very much micrc sicu in certain oiue and white sailor suits that have just arrived. These are rthelr brigade uniform, mid -trr wwr. iet Sunday night, when the boys marohod in a uouy io me nrsi -tresnyterlan Churoh to attend sen-ice. Plans aro bAintr Tr.n for a free exhibition to be given Tuesday Evening at the Mission, by this Boys' Brigade. There wIB be a drill, with guns and swords, besides recitations and music. Mr Synder to of opinion that more good Is being, doae, through, this brigade than by any other means he has tried. He has observed a very marked improvement since it was organized. Just now most of the men who' were loafing about the city during the Winter are gone to other towns, so that at this season the work of the mission naturally centers in the boys. There are no fewer than 200 children en rolled In the Sunday school, which meets at 2 o'clock. This Is remarkable, con sidering that it was started In December. There are 24 classes, and the children are so regular, so punctual In attendance, and preserve such exceptionally good order that Mr. Snyder Is of opinion there is not a Sunday echool In the city that is bet ter behaved. Mr. Snyder has tact and potent personal influence In dealing with the men and boys. He very wisely avoids boring them with too much religion. A man can spend most of his time for a month at the men's reading-room without having a religious talk forced upon him. Moreover, he carefully abstains from giv ing set sermons to them on Sunday, but Instead talks .to them on some practical subject in plain, everyday language. His aim is to help them materially, as well as morally, to benefit them by giving them the advantages which more fortunate peo- - - eLuo f ulU rr SCEXE pie have. Moreover, he is of great as sistance to them in helping them to find work whenever they need It. Not a day passes without his sending from five to ten men to respectable employment. Many kindly disposed citizens are helping him In this practical side of his work by ap plying to him for labor of various kinds. The good that is heing accomplished by this means is almost Incredible. FROM EGYPTIAN TOMBS. Plants nnd Flowers of Old Efrypt XilUc Those of Today. Most interesting, says the New Tcrk Herald, Is the fact. In connection with the vast collection of plants and flowers taken from ancient Egyptian tombs, by a French man known as Mariette Bey, that exactly similar plants are still to be found grow ing In the Valley of the Nile. The closest examination falls to reveal the slightest difference between the plants that flour ished IX) centuries ago and those which tho traveler eees today; exactly such flowers as the boy Moses and the children of Joseph picked still bloom unchanged, even In color. There are to be seen in tho Bey's collec tion blue sprays of larkskpur, which loving hands laid upon tho bodies of those who died 1000 years before Abraham and Sarah went down Into Egypt. In the tombs of later date have been found, together with hollyhock and chrysanthemums, tho various fruits, vegetables and grain for which the land has ever been renowned, as figs, dates, olives, grapes, pomegran ates, onions, beans, barley and wheat Around the necks and upon the breasts of those who died at the time Solomon reigned In Jerusalem, about 1000 B. C, were found garlands of celery, which does not appear to have been used at that time as a vegetable by the Egyptians. All these plants, when they were pre pared for the funeral ceremonies, were subjected to great heat, by which their form and color were preserved. Stories are told of wheat having been raised from these ancient grains, but it stands to rea son that the immense and protracted heat completely destroyed their germinating power. The unscrupulous natives have sold to the travelers ancient wheat In which modern grains have been mixed, but only the modern grains can germi nate. CHINESE TABLE DELICACY. Pennut Duds and Gtnprer Jelly Are "Worth AVclRht In Gold. "The Chinese have a strange Idea of table delicacies," said a gentleman en gaged in mission work to a New Orleans Democrat reporter. "A few days ago 3 received a small Jar filled with a peculiar brownish paste, which was sent me as a present by a young Chinaman who used to have a laundry here, but Is now living in San Francisco. A letter which ac companied the gift explained that the paste was a combination of peanut buds and ginger jelly. "That sounds like a joke, but It isn't If you will break open the kernel of a peanut you will find at the base a little cone-shaped formation usually sur mounted by two microscopic leaves. It Is the life germ of the nut. and. it planted, would develop into a tree. As my friend, Wong, explained to me, the nuts are first roasted and then these minute growths are carefully extracted. They are so small It takes many thousands of them to fill a teacup, but when a sufficient number are collected they are put In a mortar and ground Into a fine flour, which Is subse quently mixed with the ginger jelly and rubbed down to a smooth paste. "That sent me was about the consist ency of cream cheese, and It had a pecu liar aromatic taste that was rather pleas ounce. It Is one of the queer seml-confec-tlons that the Chinese like to nibble at between courses, and as It costs $10 an ounce, it is literally worth almost Its weight In gold. I have eaten a little of the preparation, but I don't think I'm apt to acquire a taste for IL" Tonsrh FowI-Toubu Yarn. An old Southern "mammy" gives this in fallible recipe for making tough fowls tondor. She could not explain the reason why her method effects such a desirable change, but experience, she averred, had proved that Its transforming power would stand a test by the sceptical. Hunt for the rustiest nail one or more) you can find; wash It perfectly clean ana then drop It Into the pot where you have got the fowl boiling. The fowl can be taken out afterwards and baked. The nails will come out the same as they went In. make not the slightest taste, but for whatever reason, they render the meat tender as .the flesh, of Spring, chicken. NEW EAST SIDE PASTOR TVEST3IEVSTER, CnUItCH SOW HAS REV. MR. TEMPLETOX. Another Change Made and a Third One Discussed Bishop Dnb SpenUs Today. I Rev. H. C Templeton, the new pastor '.for Westminster Presbyterian Church. who arrives today. Is highly spoken or by his former associates and friends. He has been called to fill the vacancy caused by the departure of Rev. T. C. Moffett. who was pastor for one and one-half years at Westminster. Mr. Templeton comes to his Portland field with very good recommendations as a minister and a scholar of wide attainments, although quite a young man. In 1S36 he graduated from the State University at Eugene IX A FREE XORTH EXD KIXDERGARTEX. I with high honors, and from there he pro ceeded East and attended Williams Col llege. Returning, he filled the pulpits of , several Preshyterlan churches. While flll j ing the pulpit at Milton Church, ho re ceived a call which was declined. For ! one Summer he occupied the pulpit of the i Presbyterian church during the absence of Rev. William S. Gilbert, and there he gained a reputation for strength In tho pulpit. Chaplain Gilbert says of him: "I regard him as a young man of great promise. He belongs to the pioneer family of Templetons living at Brownsville. I be speak for him a hearty welcome by the people of Westminster Presbyterian Church." At the church the services will be at 11 A. M. and 7:30 P. M. All members and friends of the church are Invited to bo present at both the services and give the new pastor a hearty welcome. HlKhop DoIih Today. Rev. R. Dubs. D. D.. LL.

The Interdenominational State Sunday Sctiool Convention will be held this year in Portland, from June 13 to 15.

A congregational meeting will be held in connection with the morning service at the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church today, to elect a ruling elder and to take final action upon the pastor's resig nation. Mr. Blair tendered his resigna tion as pastor of the church one week ago, but the church did not accept It, and asked him to withdraw the resignation. He was Induced to leave the church work on account of another threatened attack of nervous prostration, and also because of jus wues neaun. last year he was obliged to take a six months' vacation for the same reason, and It will be neces sary to do so again this year. The pastor and his family will start East tomorrow to attend the General Assembly at Chat tanooga, Tenn., and will return on the 1st of June. Miss Denton as Missionary. Miss Mary'F.

A boy scholar In a Philadelphia grammar school has, says the Record of that city, set his teacher wondering whether he is one of the unsophisticated students of the age or a real humorist. At a recent monthly examination one of the ques tions in physiology the pupils were called upon to answer was: "What Is the patel la or knee pan?" The answer of the young Innocent or Joker was as follows: "The patellas or knee pants Is trousers which extend from the waste to the knee, and were worn by grown-up men during george Washington's administration. They are not worn by men in the pres ent Time except bicycle riders and men who play golf, but are only worn by small Boys. Every Boy Is glad when he is old enough to take off his patellas or knee pants and go Into long pants which ex tend from the waste to the ankel." He saw the hole in the sack when he was filling it. But it was such a little hole that he thought it wouldn't mat ter. Out of that little hole he lost his grain while taking it to market. It's thatway wlth holes in the health. None are so small but life can leak out of them. 1f "I've got a little touch of indigestion" says one man. Another says, "my stomach feels a little out of sorts." It is just such little things which if neg lected mean the total loss of health. The one medicine for disorders and diseases of the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It increases the activity of the whole digestive and nutritive system, clears away obstruc tions, stops the loss the body sustains by undigested or partly digested food, puri fies the blood from the poisons resulting from imperfect digestion, and increases the secretions or the blood-making glands. "Golden Medical Discovery" has a wonderful record of cures of so called "hopeless" cases. Mr. Thos. H. Rudasill, of Henry, Lincoln Co., N. C, says: "After having suffered from inaction of the liver and all the troubles usually attending such a condition for over twenty years, and hav ing deluged my system with floods of medicine from every available source, and being only temporarily benefited thereby, 1 applied to your institution for treatment You instructed me to take a course of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery, which I am now doing. Although un able to strictly follow directions I have derived more actual benefit from the few bottles I have taken so far than from all ths other remedies together. Allow me to thank yen for your prompt and courteous attention to my case as well as for ths good received from it,' .
