Since her appointment as superinten­

bas accomplished w uud« rs by the Intro­
duction of manual methods in agency
schools scattered throughout the West­
ern States aud territories. Early in
her career as superintendent she be­
came convinced, as she herself express­
es it, that “among aU chddren, luulaus
and whites alike, the shortest road to
tbe bralu is through the band.” lu a
perfunctory way manual training bad
been lu operation before Miss Reel re-
jreived her appointment, but since then
it has-revelled cluse attention aud the
¡results have been gratifyiug in the
extreme. In the early days of the re­
public most Indian teachers sought to
lift tbe aboriginal mind to the plane of
Christian enlightenment by means of
[texts and sermons, catechisms and iu
[junctions, aud too commonly their ef­
lfort» ended In the sad realization that
[tLe seed was sowu on stony ground,
hlalf a century ago some teachers be-
Igan to realize that the chief need of tbe
■udiau is for practical education Involv­
ing manual training ami actual iutro-
Ljuctlou into tbe arts aud industries of
[their Caucasian neighbors, auu tbe ef-
ports of those teachers who adopted
kbls plan were always more or less

Is really fair trial. Tbe result bas been
L satisfactory that doubtless the wflrk
Lili be still further developed iu fu­
ture. Observers of educational prog­
ress are Impressed with tbe increasing­
ly practical character of instruction iu
kur own schools; the kindergarten has
massed the experimental stage and be-
kume an Important educational factor;
kianual training has been substituted
jor the dreary grind of word drill, to
■he immeasurable benefit of pupils, and
kature teaching is rapidly replacing tbe
Busks of dead knowledge iu every uni­
versity aud in all the better normal
kcbools and high schools, as well as in
■tauy of the primary schools through-
Hut the country.

During the evening it was suggested
as an additional means of eutertalu

Young Sweeney, who is quit«

of a young operator uamed Cook. In a
few moments it w as seen that the young
man was completely under Cook's In
fluence. The company became annoy­
ed and suggested that the spell be
broken and the victim released. This
was attempted, but tn vain. The young
man cut up all sorts of antics, in hi»
efforts to release bis patient tbe opera

In order to provide greater isolation
for the hospital aud furnish a basin for
the anchorage of the steamers used in
trans|>ortiug the immigrants, a uew
islaud, about three acres in extent, has
been made southwest of tbe main isl­
and aud parallel to it The two are
connected on the Jersey City side by a
crib. The hospital is being built on
tbe Jersey City end of this new rect­
angle of land. The physician's house is
to staud on the southwestern extrem­
ity. The other buildings are on the ,
main island, the restaurant, laundry [
and bathhouse adjoining the main ■
building on the northwest end and the
power-house occupying the north side ]
of the island.
All of the buildings and the landing
piers and ferry slip are to lie connected

permitted to walk upon tbe broad prom- '

the consent of the officials.
Ellis Island has been used as an im­
migration station since 18111. Shortly
after Congress relieved New York State

T im » Many Fried Messes.
Dr. Jacobi, writing in the Medical
Record, says that in the United States
there is one physician to every t»00 peo­
ple—proportionately twice as many as
in Great Britain, four times as many as
Erance has, live times as many as Ger­
many has and six times as many as
Italy has. And Dr. Jacobi might have
gone on to show that we take an inter­
est In patent or proprietary medicines
and In various other forms of extra-pro­
fessional treatment which is almost
non-existent in Europe.
There must be some explanation of
this American craze for doctoring. Cer­
tainly It is not that we are a sickly and
an ailing race. On the contrary we are
exceptionally hardy and eudurlng.
It may be that our backwardness In
the art of cooking lias a great deal to
