A FAMILY OF THIKTY-rHREE CHILDREN
Think of father climbing out of bed at
daylight and calling to each of his thirty or
more children to get up and then assigning
them their several duties for the day. Such
man was Antoine Louis Descompt Laba-
die. With his father and two brothers this
somewhat remarkable son of Gaul emf
grated from France and settled in De-
troit in 1850. Nineteen years thereafter
he married Angeique Campau, and
the two went to housekeeping over the
river. Labadie lived happily with his wife
for five years. when she died, having borne
him seven children during that time. He
had traded extensively with Indians, and
had treated them with such uniform kind
ness and consideration that upon the death
of his wife they entreated him to marry a
maiden from out their tribe. This he did,
choosing the daughter of Sauteuse Chief
as the records of the Catholic Church al
Sandwich have it, Seventeen children his
dusky bride presented him, and then her
spirit fed to the happy hunting grounds
Aboriginal and Norman blood mingling
in the veins of the seventeen descendant s
of this last union helped to build up a har-
dy and rather industrious community, and
still Labadie faltered not. He was welded
to Miss Charlotte Barthe, and the fruits OF
this union were nine children, the Oldest
son being the father of Gregoire L. Labadie
of this city, and of Captain Charles f. Lab
adie of the firm of Labade & Parent, Wind
sor. The latter still holds a portion of the
old homestead in Walkerville.
| Old citizens say that it was not an uncom-
mon thing for the old French settlers to
raise families of eighteen and twenty chill

who lived on the present site of the Water

The New SALT WoRKs-The Rochester
Democrat and Chronicle says that the salt
well at Wyoming is being pumped con-
stantly. Fresh water is supplied from
springs above the well, and the yield of
brine is now equal to astream two inches in
diameter, and weighs 73o by the salometer.
1t is expected that, as the cavity in the body
ofrock-salt enlarges, the quality will Improve
up to ninety or pinety-five degrees. The
present yield is superior to Syracuse brine
in strength and purity, and would, if evap-
GRATED, make two hundred barrels of salt

in small way at once. Lumber for the

The Effect OF Scandal ongering on
Children.


One of the greatest defects of this age
is the 'fastness" of our boys and girls.
And every bit OF it is traceayle back to
the homes, where idle news carriers drop
in continually. and are permitted to unfold
their budget of gossip and scandal. Chi
dren hear more than is believed, and the
wlnks mods and hints they catch at inter
walls excite their curiosity, and to satisfy
this, chances are not wanting. But to
prevent betraying what they hear, they
also learn to be very sly, so that, in time
they are able to build block houses, make
kites, or even pretend to study their les
son, and yet hear every word that is said
Is tia wonder that, by the time the reserve
and purity Of the mothers mind is worn
out, the daughters is in just the same
condition, with the difference that, while
the mother has family ties that serve as a
check, and has the judgment Of maturer
years, the daughter is hampered by none
of these, so that, as she stands on the
treshold of life, she is like boat tossed
upon the sea without a pilot, save her
own desire, and the crew, instead of be-
ing all good influences of the past are
ust the reverse. It will be a miracle il
she sails through safely, and If she should
sink we must accept the penalty, and
know that it is the work Of our own hands

He Died While Reading Cicero.

The following letter, descriptive OF the
last hours of William Ellery, one Of the
signers of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, who died at Newport, r. l., in
1920, has never before been published. 1t
was written by an intimate friend of the
family, and has recently come to light:
"MARcH IA, lS20.-Old Mr.. Ellery

in its common form never came near him
His strength wasted gradually for the
last year, until he had not enough LETT to
draw his breath. The day on which he
died he got up as usual and dressed him
self, took his old g-bottomed chair
without arms, in which he had sat for
more than half a century, and was read
ing Tully's Offices in the Latin, without
glasses, though the print was as fine as
that Of the smallest pocket Bible. DE-.
w. stopped on his way to the hospital,
as he usually did, and on perceiving
that the old gentleman could scarcely
raise his eyelids to look at him, he took
his hand and found that his pulse was
gone. After drinking little wine and
water, DR.. w. told him that his pulse
beat stronger. ooh, yes, Doctor, have a

finding him becoming extremely weak
wished him to be put into bed, which he
at first object to saying that he felt no
pain, and there was no occasion for his
going to bed. Presently after, however,
fearing that he might possibly fall out of
his chair, he told them they might set
him upright in the bed, SO that he could
continue to read. They did so and he
continued reading Cicero very quietly
for sometime. Presently they looked at
him and found him dead, sitting in the
same posture, with the book auder his
chin, as man who becomes drowsy and
goes to Sleep"

Going After the Cows.

'7s Where in the world can Jennie be.
She crossed the meadow an hour ago
What ails the girl that she fingers soy'
The sun goes down in the crimson west,
The tired day prepares for rest.
And the laggard moments slowly pass,
But bring no news of the truant lass.
"What ais the grip" The sober COWS,
Stopping along the lane to browse,
May look in vain from side to side,
And wait for the voice of their pretty
guide.
For far behind, by the pasture gate,
Jennie and Jamie forget tits late
Forget the COWS, and the milking hour,
And everything else save Loves sweet

The whip-poor.w with his plaimtiye call
The gathering dews, and the darkening

All warn in vain as the minutes fly.
Twice and thrice does mother go

And the ring of the cow-bells clear ant

But presently came the laggard feet
Of Jennie and Jamie. Oh! shyly sweet

TrOcaderO.

Trocadero was once desolate, windy
plateau, across which one did not care
about wandering alone late at night To
right and left OF it, as one stood fronting
the Seine, one saw dull-gray masses of
tall, old fashioned houses, some of which
looked as if they might contain a m ysrery.

Here and there a long flight of stone
steps led up to some high balcony, or
descended into subterranean recess. Be-
You'd Trocadero were the peaceful domi-
Giles OF Passy, elegant villas, where artists
actors, and literary men, made their
homes; and from the breeze swept
height one could see away across the
plains, over the tops of broad forests, set
down between pretty villages and towns,
to the line of hills On which the Prusslans
placed their cannon in the siege Of 1871.
Many she'll did the Germans land on
Trocadero, and in darker days of the
Commune an iron hail fell there night
and morn. Who that passed few days

remember the excursions which the care
| less foreigner made to Trocadero, for the
pleasure of being shot at, and of watching
the Missing iron globes as they drowned
| their terrors in the Seine9
A massive flight of stone stairs led in
those days from the top of Trocadero to the
Seine embankment; and down these steps
shells, which had just arrived from the
| Versailles batteries, plunged headlong,
as if delighted to take a bath after their
long and somewhat exciting journey.
Through this leaden shower, Silas j

Mrs. Jane Arthur Higginbottom tranquil

Teaching Children to Pick Things up.

owe know man who isquite particular
about keeping everything in its proper
place. We heard him say, that he ac
quired this habit through the training Of
his mother. When boy, even as far
back as he could remember, his mother
always made him pick up and put away
his play things after he hal got through
with them. He was often allowed to get
out all the materials he wanted for good
time In bad weather the kitchen was
often at the disposed Of himself and
brother; but they always understood that
every thing was to be cleared up at the
close of the play. No doubt there is a
difference in children. for we have known
boys of the same family, of nearly the
same age, brought up in all respects as
nearly alike as possible, yet one of them
was always careless, and became care
less easy man, while the other was ex-
tremely particular in all the details of his
dress, sports, and work. Still, granting
this difference which many would call
natural difference, we believe persistent
training in early childhood would make
an orderly man out of the most careless
