CO\TIM Ol S HOLIDAY WITH LIBER-
TY AND PLENTY AT CHILD REX'S
HOME IN NYACK.
FOR CHILDREN OF POVERTY.
CmnoH nml a Public Entertainment
Each Day—Homesickness Anions
the Children.
Children are coming and going every clay.
The ring- of their laughter and their childish
shouts of merriment roll down the slope to
meet you. The din ceases only when they
ore all kneeling- in the chapel and when
the lights are out after taps. Then, often,
the wail of some homesick waif is in the
air until midnight. But all this is mostly
very beautiful to see and hear, these busy
days, at the Christian Herald children's
home in Nyack, N. Y., an institution the
like of which is not to be seen else where.
It is for the children of the poor in New-
York, and ten days is the time Riven each
little visitor to enjoy a country vacation,
and every day some t^o hundred boys and
girls share the abundant hospitalities of
the home. The season lasts from about
the. middle of Juno to October 1, so that
about two thousand New York children
are given—absolutely given, without a
penny of expense to their parents or guar-
dians—a ten days' deliverance from the
crowd, heat, squalor and vice of the city
into the liberty, plenty and healthful at-
mosphere of a most delightful place. Few'
of them are under G or over lu years old.
and each child undergoes examination by a
medical officer of the institution before be-
ing admitted. Candidates are, as a rule,
introduced by clergymen representing in
the aggregate all the denominations, and
are taken from various places of reiuiey.-
vous to a Hudson, river steamboat for
transportation. Many of the urchins have
never been out of the city before and their
delight at what they see for the first time
is unbounded. The glorious sail up the
loveliest of rivers is followed by a two
miles' drive, a demonstrative welcome, a
good, hearty meal, a si ason of play and
rest among the cool and wooded hills of a
spot lovely for situation.
Beyond the pretty town of some four
thousand people the way h ads up hill lur
the greater part. Here and there houses
peep out from their wooded (derations,
their luxurious vegetation and orchards
scarcely distinguishable, in the expanse «»f
the scenery, from surrounding primeval
woods. , .
You hear the home before you reach it.
Two hundred children sporting under the
trees without restraint make plenty ot
noise. But here at last is the inscription
over the gat- way at the entrance ot the
grounds of the institution. A sweet faced
young woman receives in the absence oi
the matron, Miss Helen Collins, who, site
explains, is absent buying supplies, and
graciously places In r time and information
at your disposal. Sitting on a piazza over-
looking the river from Siig Sing to Tappan
Zee you learn, under th* pleasant est con-
ditions. that the home owns seventy acia s
of land, meadow, orchards and wild woods
This is the principal building, you are in-
formed. and you inspect its spacious dor-
mitories, well furnished parlor, with its
open piano and generous variety of booh*
and music, its kitchen, store rooms and
dining room, for the matron and her staff
of care-takers, with gratified interest. You
note that there are thirteen seats at table
for these young i>eople— the principal her■-
nelf is scarcely past her youth. Indeed, the
atmosphere of the establishment is youth-
fid. so to speak, ami small wonder that the
visitor's eyes rest on the central figure of
groups seen here and there., where beautv
dispenses her smiles and kind works and
fond caresses. That surely was a happy
thought which provided a litre** organ tor
A.

eases of homesickness are rave and seldom
call for an earlier return to New York than I
after the usual term of the visit.
A day with the boys and girls at Nyack
is a memory to be cherished long and lov-
ingly. lVriiaps no other city than N« w
York could send an equal number of chil-
dren representing so great a variety of
race and nationality, but this element of in-
terest is of less importance than the com-
mon responsive appreciation on the part
of the little ones of the familiar kindness
with which they are treated.

Joyfully grind out its liberal equipment o:
tunes heard on the Bowery. Trees bear
nuisv burdens of adventurous boys. Some

barn 1 for them, and on benches built
for the purpose girls renew, under these
Improved conditions, their acquaintance
with the absorbing game- of jacks. Those
youngsters are hurling quoits and thes • are
"ringing the sticks." throwing with laugh-
able inaccuracy from hands unacquainted
with rural sports, the circles provided tor
their play. This graceful little Italian girl
brings a burden of wild flowers tor the

his store of blushing fruit collected in Ins

imbr.vo Frenchman, though born on the

soaelous tent raised to a level with the
ik use at a short distance and directly
overlooking the Hudson is the children's
dining room. Near by floats the stars una

neat and comfortable, and s t up in an old
house. Its considerable sine and massive

cause religious services are held in it. ami.

tainments. A portion of the building is » t
apart for donnilories. Back of it is the
swimming pool, covered by a tent, where
at stated times parties of boys or girls are
instructed how to be at home in the water,
arrangements tor an abundant supply of
which are indicated in the distance by an
engine and pumping apparatus. On Satur-
days l>r. Louis Klopsch. patron of th •
home, superintends the sports in which the
inmates delight and distributes prizes to the
successful competitors.

In line for their march to the chapel, where
an entertainment is to be given, a daily

boys is headed by "Frenchy." whose ac-
complishments include th ability to drum

bare legs and feet don't seem to Impair at
all his sense of the dignity of his office.
Within a few minutes all arc seated in an
orderly array, the girls on one side of the

religious and patriotic songs, such as are
commonly sung in schools and churches <u
all the denominations. "M> Country, "ids
of Thee," I never heard sung with greater
vim. A tiny girl, so poorly clad, but pretty
as a picture—she is about years old vol-
unteers to speak a piece. She docs ii well
and is admiringly applauded. Then a boy
somewhat older than she raise-* his hand in
sign of his willingness to take part. He
sines well and earns the lmndclapplng
which rewards his performance. Then in
chorus the whole company vociferates
"Columbia, the i"-em of the Ocean." waving
In the refrain their sheets of words, which.,
bv the way, arc printed in red, while and
blue.
The children listen with wide eyed won-
der to "Frenchy'8m rendering of tho "Mar-
saillaise" in the original. He is husky, but
characteristically intense, and tarries all
before him. The boy who stands at tie-
piano as he sings, renders a sentimental
song in a sweet and sympathetic way. A

he wears the cassock ami cotta when at

"I sailed up the bonny 'due Hudson." and
the concluding hurrahs are for the patron
who brought them to "ouv home on the

thing for the dismissal melody. When all
have marched out, comes echoes or
"Freiichy's" drumming on his way to head-
quarters.
Miss Collins is home in time to ring the
"order" bell about noon, when the children
wash and spruce up a bit preparatory to
dinner. The domestics and care-takers are
kept busy as bves serving this substantial
meal of meat and vegetables, wi'.li pudding
as dessert. Two processions, one of btfys
and one of girls, are formed going to and
returning from the dining tent. The drum
verv much in evidence on these occa-
sions. * I notice that the dignity of the
drumma.lor is not an undivided possession.
A handsome Italian boy noes effective
work this time, and there are others who
in turn tire found competent to dispute a
skilled mastery of noise with the irrepres-
sible "Frenchy."
Till supper time care-takers and children
follow their own will in lawn, wood and
orchard. 'TIs touching to s-e a tot who
has known so little of sympathy and love,
timidly place her hand in that of the young
lady she calls teacher, and look up into her
face, there assuredly finding a responsive
smile and loving word. In a day or two

their predta . -sors. that all here arc friends,

social degradation can not destroy.
Additional to what lui< been said ot the
di' ting of tins, oung visitors, it is inter-
esting to know ihat in spite of tho tempta-
tion of good milk, preference has been
shown for hot coffee as the breakfast bev-
erage. Mill-. «::hcr hot or cold, having
been rejected • favor of the fragrant berry,

given a pint or so of milk, of which two

NOHTIIKKN SEA COW.
Very Different Vniuuil From Sea Con
or Manatee of the South.
Alaska News.
Many persons have seen the skin of the
sea cow owned by Uncle Dick Willoughby
of this city, but it is safe to say few have
ever given a thought to the character of
the animal, its mode of existence, food and
how it came to be extinct. On numbers of
the islands to the westward this curious
mixture of mammal and fish coukl former-
ly be found in great numbers.
Since the time of Steller the animal life
has undergone a considerable change on
the island. Fox- « (or. more correctly,
"fjellraekor" iSv\a dish) existed then in un-
usual numbers. Not alone did they ea' :
everything that could be eaten at all which
was left outside, but they forced them-
selves into the houses during the day as
well as night and carried away everything
they could', even articles that could b. of j
no use to them, such as knives, >ticks. i
sacks, shoes and socks. Frequently it be. i
came necessary to drive them away with i
sticks, and at last they became through j
the slym ss and cunnlngness with which i
they managed to consummate their thiev- j
ing. and the cleverness with which they j
combined their efforts to attain obi cts
which they alonb could not accomplish,
really dangerous, mischief making annuals
for the castaways. Since then thousands
upon thousands have been taken h i by
fur hunters. Now they are so rare that
during the stay of the curio hunting party
on the island not a single animal was sec:..
The remaining ones are said not to have
the formerly so eoinmonlv seen black blue
coat, but the white, which is not so verv
cosily. On the neighboring Copper island
there are still considerable numbers ol
black-blue foxes.
Steller and his fellow traveh rs killed h.« iv
in 1741-4- 700 sea otters. This animal,
known for its very costly and fine fur. is \
now entinlv driven from Bering island,. i

Steller's sea cow took the place, in a cer-
tain way. of the hoofed animal among the .
sea mammalia. It was of a nut-brown > olor ;
and covered with hair which had grown to- j
gether into an outer hide, much like the
bark of an old oak tree. Its b n.gth was. a j
