Un.iustly Treated.

That as the General Verdict az Regard
to the Remo0oJ Of Dr.. LaphoH1.
The removal of DR.. l. A. Lapham,
one of our most respected and most
scholarly citizens, from his position as
State Geologist, is meeting with severe
comments on all sides. The Doctor
holds warm place in the hearts of
great many people, and though quiet
and unostentatious gentleman, in no
wise calculated for currying political ia
yor, it yet seems to majority of peo-
pie as though his fitness for the posi-
ton he occupied, and it is not saying
too much to say, that no man in the
State was SO aoelJ fitted, should have
ensured his continuance IN it. The
Madison Journal says:
Zone thing in this matter, however,
seems certain and that is, that Dr. |.
A. Lapham has good cause to complain
of the treatment he has received.
Justice has not been done TO that gen
'tleman. He has been accused Of inc
Efficiency. without proper knowledge of
what has been done. He has made
voluminous reports that have never
been published, SO that very little can
be known, whether his labors have
been efficient or not. DR.. Lapham has
n high reputation as a scientific man,
mot only in this country, but in Euro
pc. He has made this subject speci-
atty, and his high reputation as Ge-
'ologist should have insured to him fair
treatment. His reports should, at
least, have been made public; and he
should have received praise or censure,
upon full knowledge Of what he has
done II his work was we'll done,
then a change in the head Of the Com
mission is not wise. We feel called
upon to say this much, in behalf Of
DR.. Lapham, in whom the whole peo-
pie Of the State have had the utmost
confidence, both as to scientific attain
ments and integrity. No man has q
purer or a better record, as man of
Science than hiss DR.. Laphsm, and his
friends desire only that he should be
treated fairly, and that common justice
shall be done him MiJUaukee aaG

Sabbath and the magistrate no sense of

points to the south; where the place of
honor is on the left hand. and the seat

to take off your hat is an iusolent GEES

During our brief visit to Grand
Rapids last week, we passed few
days at the Rabin House, conducted
by E. S. Reynolds 4 Co. We knew the
house by reputation, but were much
surprised at finding a hotel kept on
such a scale in place like Grand Rap
ids. Mr.. Reynolds is an experienced
landlord, and knows just how to keep
a hotel. The house is large one, con-
tanning fifty sleeping apartments, the
rooms are we'll furnished and comforta-
BILE, and good beds, a first class table,
and everything as regular as clock-work
make it desirable place to stop.
We are tolG that Mr.. Reynolds is to
take charge Of the Blair House at
Mcmillan, soon. If true, Grand
Rapids will lose, and Mcmillan gain
a number one landlord. - WhHehad

How Shall the Children Get Money

How SHALL we put children in posses
sion of The moneys upon which they are
to exercise themselves benevolently?
Let them earn it," is usually the first
| answer to this inquiry. Very good, but
how shall they earn it? If by honest toll
of any kind, all right. Such labor will
degrade no child, and the lesson that hon
est toll brings its rewards cannot be too
early learned. These earnings may be
by service rendered parties other than
the parents of the child. In such cases
the matter stands purely on a business
platform it is subject to business condi-
tions, familiarity with which cannot be
made too early in ones life.
But sometimes bargains for work and
compensation are made between the child
and its parent. In some cases the only
opening for earning money is here. In
such cases arrangements must be delicate
ly made No child should claim tinan-
cial reward for any service done its par
ents. All the service needed by the par
ent which the child can possible render
should be held as freely subject to the
parents call. Why should not the boy
black his fathers boots, or shovel the
snow from his fathers pavement? So
completely is the boy under the father S
control and bound by love and gratitude
and tilial subordination, that no such wish
should start Il query in the youthful heart,
but when expressed it should be prompt
ly, fully, freely met.
And yet, while care is taken that the
mercenary spirit does not come between
the parent and his child, it still is practical
bic so to adjust service and compensation
that parental authority and tilial duty
shall by no means suffer. A clear under
standing of the principles here stated will
guide any thoughtful parent to proper
settlement of the details of business ar
rangement with his child. Cases are men
toned here where child earns money by
doing without butter, or cake, or coffee
or by getting gup promptly in the morning
or by folding a napkin; or by pulling out
gray hairs, and by many similar devices.
If abstemiousncss is needed, or if medi-
cine is to be taken, or if orderly, punctual
habits are to be formed, far better allow
them to stand on their own merits and to
be acted upon accordingly, Habits of
self-mastery must be learned in these
minor moralitieS, and better let them
bring their own rewards than to append
an extraneous pecuniary consideration.
The discovery of a gray hair in ones head
and other accidental matters, to which re-
wards are sometimes appended, cultivate
a ,ooking for happy hits, for lucky vent
urcs in short, it fosters the expectation of
profit without toll, and so makes a big
contribution to the rampant speculative
spirit of the day.
The rule applying to all these methods
of furnishing the child with money should
be, let him do genuine work for which he
earns genuine wages. Weld together,
even in childhood, the two great ideas,
"toil'' and triumph. "-Reg. G. A. Peytz,
in .Su,,day School Times.

"Pm Just Going To-"

Few sins of omission are more mis-.
chievous than the habit of lazy good in
tentions. Even the ill-minded person who
U,taders into doing right, but does it, has
more credit than the amiable well-wisher
who does nothing.
II suppose you mailed my letter in
time, Bob?' said his father.
"N-n-o-o, sir" he answered. 81 was
just going to run over to the office with it,
and the stage drove off"
"Then l must send telegram, and
that will cost several dollars"
Il am so sorry" said Bob; 81 willtry
to be more prompt next time.'
But one day, soon after, when he was
coming home from the mill, he stopped to
see Rodney Browns gray squirrel.
Your horse seems little restless" ;"
said Mrs. Brown, opening the window :;
"had you not better fasten him to the
post?"
"Yes'm was just going back to tie
him." said Bob.
But at this moment bit of white paper
fluttered over the ground; the horse took
fright and ran down the street, breaking
the wagon and losing most of the flour.
80 dear!n SAID Bob; II wish | had
started a little sooner"
That was the way with him most of the
time; he was little late at table, at
school, and at church; and people soon
began to see that he could not be trusted
| to do errands.
What kind of a man will the boy make
who is only "just going to" do things?

A Joke That Missed Fire.

CooLEY's Oldest boy is little too fond
of playing practical jokes. The other
evening he went up into the third-story
back room in which the hired man
sleeps, and fixing piece of stout twine
to the bed-clothes he ran it downstairs
into his own room, with the intent to re-
move the covers from the hired man as
soon as that individual got into bed. The
Cooleys had just taken down their win
ter stoves, and they had the parlor stove
standing temporarily at the head of the
third-story stairs. The man discovered
the string just as he was re firing, and,
comprehending the motive of the in
tended trick, he quietly united it, and
fastened it to the stove. The boy mean
time had gone to bed and forgotten
about the string. But about ten O'Clock
Mr.. Cooley, who was upstairs getting
apples in the garret, caught his foot in
the string as he was coming down the
steps. He fell, and pulled the stove
over after him, and the next moment
Cooley, a pan of apples, and about forty
pieces of stove, stove.pipe, CRATES and
brick lining were rafting downstairs
with noise like volley of musketry,
As Cooley lay ON the landing, with pile
of apples and cast-iron heaped upon him,
Mrs. Cooley and the boy and the
servants came rushing out to ascertain
what on earth was the matter. AS they
approached, Cooley said:
Terrible, wasn' t it? Awfulest earth
quake we ever had in this country"
"Was there real earthquake?" asked
Mrs. Cooley. q didn't feel shake"
: "Didn't feel itr' exclaimed Cooley

German courtesy would be ridiculous If
it were not sublime.
In all the sociable little Reidens towns
the ministers, being allowed certain

How many charming young married
women there are among us who would
be glad to amuse themselves, happy to
dance in muslin, if Mechlin be denied
them; how many that would adorn socie-

bright youth and pleasant laughter; yet
they are not asked, because they give no
dinners in return, because the rich mans
wife, who is blazing with diamonds of the
Golconda and the gold of Ophir, would
wonder at the simplicity displayed in the
cheap gown of the "young person" op-

there is no sncbbishness; there is class

asked to amuse and to be amused; you can
enjoy yourself quite as well, though you
be only Lieutenant's wife, as though
you were a Countess from before the del
uge; and the consequence of this liberal
view of things is that youth and gayety
and fresh toilets and bright faces are
generally to be found at German balls,

such festive occasions. What you are,
