twenty to forty dollars per month. Strange that educated colored young
men and women will not "work!"

Dr. Roy, in his lantern lectures, sometimes meets with pleasant
incidents. Recently, at East Saginaw, before the General Association of
Michigan, coming to Fisk University on his programme, he had brought on
his canvas pictures of the Jubilee Singers, Jubilee and Livingstone
Halls and of Jowett, one of the students, and when he came to present
Mr. Ousley and his wife, a venerable man jumped up and remarked, "We
received Mr. Ousley and his wife at the Zulu Mission on their way to
East Central Africa. So also Miss Jones. Within two weeks I have
received from Mr. Ousley his photograph." This man was Rev. Dr. Rood,
for forty years a missionary among the Zulus, just now back to this
country. After the lecture, Mr. Rood told Dr. Roy that Mr. Ousley was
one of the most level-headed men in the mission, and so had been made
the treasurer of the mission--a good tribute to one of Fisk's graduates.

Our readers will remember an account in our last month's magazine of a
communion service held by Rev. T.L. Riggs at one of the out-stations
where he was obliged to use the back of a hymnbook covered with a napkin
for a plate, and a tin cup for a baptismal bowl. It gives us pleasure to
say that Mr. Riggs has received from Mrs. Farnam of New Haven, a
beautiful and complete traveling communion service closely packed in a
small morocco case, with the needful linen, which also goes in the case.
One piece fits into another in such a way that the whole service takes
up scarcely more room than is required for the largest piece. Mrs.
Farnam also sent suitable bags for the different pieces, so that Mr.
Riggs, when he goes on horse-back can carry them in his saddle pouches.
This is certainly the right gift in the right place.
