Praise Children.

There is old superstition that praise is
too good thing TO be given to children,
that it is too rich for their mental and
moral digestion. Some parents are so
afraid that child will grow proud, that
they never praise him, and this course is
often disastrous. 1t is apt to produce
too much self-assertion for self-asser-
ton is legitimate outgrowth of the
Withholding of commendation to which
one is entitled--or to engender n self
distrust or melancholy hopelessness Of
disposition.
Praise is sunshine to child, and there
is no child that does not need it. 1t is
the hign reward of ones struggle to do
right. Thomas Hughes says you can
never get mans best out of him with
out praise. Many a sensitive child, we
believe, dies of hunger for kind com
mendation. Many child starving for
the praise that parents should give, runs
off eagerly after the les. gning fattery
of others.
To withhold praise where it is due,
is dishonest, and in the case of child
such course often leaves stinging
sense Of injustice. Motives of common
justice, as well as a regard for the fu-
ture of the child, should influence the
parent TO give generous praise for all
that deserves it. OF course there is
difference in the constitution of chill
dren. Some cannot bear so much praise
as others, and some need great deal
1t should never be indiscriminate. We
remember wonderful woman who
taught school III one village until she
had educated n part of three genera
tions. She was one of the most success
full of teachers. But her success lay in
her gift of praising with discrimination.
A bad boy who was IA good scholar got
praises of his brilliancy sand wiehed il
between her admonitions for his bad
behavior, and SO was won to better
life and we recall good girl who
had no gift of learning rapidly, but who
was saved from utter despair by the
praise she got for her untlrng industry.
Into the discouraged hearts of the chill
dren the praises of the teacher came
like sunlight. And the virtues, like 9th
er good fruits, can only ripen in the
.- Hearh and Home.

An English correspondents, in refer.
ring to the laborers' revolt il the coun
try, gives the following amoag other in
stances of the condition of the Agricul-
tural iaborers there
"a short time ago letter came to
me from Buckinghampshire, asking il
something could not be doue to draw at
tention to the condition of the farm-boys
in that county. A poor boy named Geo.
Knibbs, the letter said, was found dead
on the roadside on n cold, biting morn
ing in March, 1870. He was only nine
years old, and had been at work three
years for farmer at Beckhampstead
The only witness was fellow laborer, a
little boy eleven years old. They were
sent out in the morning of an inclement
day to drive in heifers to the town OF
Winslow, a journey of seven or eight
miles. The youngest child wanted to
take some food with him, as it was sup
posed he had had no breakfast, but the
farmer told them they need take no food
as they would be home by eleven clock.
4 journey of sixteen miles, and to drive
six heifers half the distance, was too
much for the poor things. Rain and
sleet fell on the journey. They delv-
cred the cattle at public house in Win
slow, where they were directed. They
got half pint of beer with three pen
ny-worth of brandy in it to warm them,
which they drank between them They
did not venture TO ask for food, and
none was given. They trudged mile
or two on their way back, when the
youngest said he would go to his Aunt
Emmas, and the eleven year-old boy
went on and got home cold and wet
The poor lad kuibbs fell on his face,
and was found some hours afterward,
when he had been long dead. The poor
father wandered about at night till twelve
o'clock, looking for his boy, and sat
up for him TIL two o'clock in the morn
ing. Next day he found out where the
body of his son had been taken. The
letter received informed me that the
farmer who employed the poor man stop
ped ont of his wages the time employed
ln looking for his dead child. This is
only fair illustration of the condition
of penury and dependence i'll which the
greater portion of the Buckinghamp-
shire laborers really are. The Telegraph
has begun to examine into the condition
of the Scotch agricultural laborer The
Scotch field is fruitful oM. Farming
is carried ont more scientifically there,
as a rule, than in England, but the con
dition of the patient laborer equally
needs revising there The conservative
Gio5e reports that the wages of agricul
tural laborers are about to be raised all
over the country. Public opinion is ac
the force Of ngtation.

A strike by the above workmen stopo a
supply of sG7S, 600 per week, or about
two millions every three weeks, now being
paid to their families a strike for two
months would waste larger sum of

lamity, charitysss munifcient that even

waste of more money than he could save
by his labor for year.
But this is not the whole Of the ac-
count These thirty thousand working
men are nearly all tenants, very few of
them awning houses of their own. If
they board their rent is part of their
weekly charge With their families, av-
eraging three to each workingman, they
number one hundred thousand people to
be provided with sheter-a number near
ly as great as was burned out of homes
by the great conhagration Not much
less than one-third of the population of
the city are connected by some tie of
dependence with this mechanic and build
ing class. They have the most direct in
terest as tenants in reducing rents, and
this can only be done by the rapid re
building of the city If general strike
should delay the rebuilding of Chicago,
for every day the work is so delayed the
workmen engaged in it will find an extra
dollar per month added to their rent
next winter.

The COnversatiOnshaus, Baden.

The central attraction of Baden is, OF
course, the Conversationshaus so call
ed, | pre- sume. because no one is expect
ed to speak there except in a whisper.
Why gambling hall should be styled
a conversation house is beyond conjec-
ture. The name must be the result of
some Teutonic vagary in which irony
was uppermost The Conversationshaus
contains n number of drawing, dining,
reading, concert, and gaming rooms, all
elaborately gilded and frescoed and
luxuriously furnished immense mirrors
on the walls rejecting every form and
face. The gambling saloons, opening
into each other, usually have six roulette
and rouge-et-noir (trente-et -quarante)
tables, at which all the gambling is done.
They are open from an early hour of the
morning to midnight, but the playing
does not begin until eleven o'clock in
the forenoon, and does not end until
eleven in the evening The place is as
public as Broadway or City Hall Park.
Every body goes in and goes out, bets
or bets not, just as he pleases. There is
no one to question or interrupt, to invite
or dis Jur0 t, any respectfully dressed
or uect utIy DenaVlnB Stranger, VINO from
curiosity, inclination, or any other mo-
tive, may see tit to enter. If he carry
cane or umbrella, or wish to leave his
hat-hats are not worn at the shrine of
the tickle goddess-he will find in sort
of vestibule very polite lackeys, in livery
much resembling court costume, who
will benignantly inform him that it is
contrary to the rules of the Direction to
take either of those articles, or go cover
ed, into the charmed presence OF the
challengers of fortune. These bedizened
servants are stationed in all the saloons,
ready and anxious to do any ones bid
ding, with the expectation, of course,
of receiving certain douceurs for their
trouble. They are the most obedient
and obsequious of underlings; they will
do any thing the mysterious Direction
allows and it is far from narrow on
most subjects-in the promptest and
most satisfactory manner. The Direc-
ton pays license OF about S75,
year, and defrays, moreover, all the ex-
penses of the establishment, amounting
to as much more-which shows that the
business is at least profitable. - Har-

OSTRICH FARMS. The sraising of Il

! OSTRICH FARMS. The sraising of the
ostrich in tame state for its feathers is
now carried on extensively in Africa.
The birds are kept in Enclosures, and fed
on lucerne, with which the inclosure is
planted. Every eight months they are
pluched, some extracting the quill at once,
and others cutting the quill little above
its insertion, and then removing the
roots a couple of months later. The
latter method is said to give better re-
suits with less injury to the bird. The
yield is about fifty dollars per annum for
e.ch bird. In breeding it is found to
be best to allow one female to each male,
though in the wild state five females are
attached to single male. There are
usually two broods in a yer, and the
male and female sit on the eggs by turns,
the male generally taking the largest
share of this duty. The female takes
chief charge of the brood after it is
hatcbed. The young are reared on
chopped lucerne, and as they get older
"a little grain is given them; They also
require abundance OF water, and iber-
al supply of pulverized quartz and small
bones. When grown, no food suits them
better than chopped lucerne or tre oil,
with an occasional supply of cabbage,
fruit, and grain.

The GERMS OF DISEASE. An article
says, that as the result of a series of ex-
periments on the low forms of life by
heat, DIR. Grace Calvert demonstrates
that the germs of disease will withstand
a temperature of 300 degrees Fahren
heit. Exposure to such heat as this
INJURIES the fibers of all kinds of cloth
so seriously that they are unfit for fur
ther use. 1t is therefore evident that the
mere agency of heat cannot be depend
ed upon for the destruction of the germs
or corpuscles attached to the clothing of
persons who have suffered from any con-
tagious disease. The necessity for a
change in opinion regarding the power
of chlorine gas to accomplish this pur-
pose is urged in a recent report of the
New York Board of Health on the dis
infection of clothing and bedding. and
sulphurous acid gas prepared by burn
ing sulphur for the disinfectior frooms.
The latter substance, especial seems
to have the power of utterly destroying
the germs Of smallpox, while chlorine
frequently fails altogether, or only ac
complishes the object in an imperfect
manner.

The RoUMANIAN JEws.-The official
correspondence in relation to the perse-
cution of the Jews in Roumania has been
transmitted to the L. S. Senate. Under
date of April 10, 1872, Mr.. Peixotto,
American Consul at Bucharest, writes
that all the foreign representatives at
Bucharest, except the Russian, had
signed an address to the Government of
Prince Charles, saying they had learned
with profound regret that after having
condemned several Israelites to severe
.lalties, the prosecution of whom was
abandoned by the public ministry itself,
the court Of Assizes of Buzio had acquit-
ted vi the individuals who were charged
with committing the gravest crimes
against the Jewish population of Vilcoon.
Secretary Fish, under date of May 13,
1872, approves of Peixottos action in
taking part in the remonstrance, and
adds You will not be backward in
joining any similar protest or other
measure which the foreign representa-
tives there may deem advisable, with a
view to avert or mitigate further harsh
ness toward the Israelites resident in or
subjects of the PrincIpahty."

feeble tread in her arms she carried
