Personal Courage OF Alexander IL
Stephens.

Those who have seen Hon. A. II.
Stephens and marveled at the atom he is,
would not be likely to think of him IS
combatant, since he appears, as poor
man, to need moro than the little
strength he has to fight against death,
ever threatening him. Nevertheless,
he is and always has been testy and pug
nacious when his motives have been inn
pugncd or his honor questioned, and it
is no fault Of his that he had not repeat
edly taken part in several duels. He
has challenged Herschel V. johnson,
Ben II. Hill and other politicians, but
they declined TO accept his challenge.

drew the plucky little fellow down, and
forcing his head back on the floor with
his left hand, as though he had ocen

crying, "Apologize, or I'll cut your

A bud OF richest promise grew

And hoped ,twould yield flower rare
Ere autumn leaves might fall.
The autumn came-I sought the bud
Expanding to a flower;
When 10! hideous worm had crept
And nipped its petals as they slept,
And LEFT it dying there.
A beauteo,is form of infant grace

One tender breath upon my cheek,

RUST IN WHEAT.-The examination
of diseased wheat straw, by the aid of a
good compound microscope, demonstrates
most conclusiveiy that the rust consists
entirely ofminute fungi, resembling small
mushrooms or toads,ools, and propagating
theirspecies by proper seeds. tits shown
by the microscope that the fungi begins
to grow inside of the straw, and immedi-
ately on its bursting or splitting it pro-
trudes outside. The quantity of seed
they contain is very great. It is this that
forms the fine red dust which floats in
the mir like vapor, in badly rusteT fields
of wheat. 1t resembles the smoke, or
more properly, the seeds of that we'll
known fungus, the puff ball, and may be
carried by the wind from one farm to an
other. These seeds are so exceedingly
small that they can pass into the plant
through the stomato or mir vessels Of the
leaves, and are carried with the descend
ing sap into the stem.

How TO MAKE CutLDREY MIND

How TO MAKE CHILDREN MIND
"llow is it your children mind so we'll ="

Seems TO me Pm forever scoldinp and

still as disobedient and hcadstrong as

bother with yours. 1t must be all in the
child's disposition. Some children have
more spirit than others, and are harder
to break in"
III don't think mine have any lack o.
spirit" the lady answered with quiet
smile. "They inherit restless, active
temperament, but / have always been
firm with them--frm, not harsh | aim to
impress on my children that dsobcdence

Don't do such thing and when they

heavy Onc) follows promptly and inevita-
bly,. The two things. disobedience and
punishment, are so absolutely connected
together that the child inevitably thinks.
OF the one every time it mcditates the
other. Why don't child put its fingers
into the fire? Because it knous that if it
does it will get burned. And in the
same experimental manner my children
know that ii they disobcy they will get
punished and they avoid daobedence
accordingly"
"Ah. this is all very fine. Your chill
dren may mind while they're under your
eye. But how does your system work in
your absence? DO your children mind
when you're not looking ut them 2"
MY dear madam, all beings that are
guided by experience, rather than by
precept, are essentially creatures Of habit,
and children especially 80. Habits are,
indeed, nothing more or less than accu-
muatcd experiences. Drive sheep into
certain pen every night for month,
and thereafter they will 20 there without
any driving. Have yourself called every
morning at FIVE fn- few weeks, and
you'll find you will wake without calling.
And in just the same way, by teaching
your children to obey implicitly when
you are present you will get them in
such habit of obedience that they will
seldom think of disobeying in your ab-
scnce: Experience will form the habit,
and the habit will remain long after the
experience has been forgotten or is, at
best, remembered in dim and misty
fashion.
"At least, such has been my expert
cnce with my own children; and if your
method of discipline has resulted in chill
dren that won't mind, suppose you try
my system for while. Put yourself in
your child's place, and try so to shape its
experiences that from each one of them
it may learn only lesson of the advan-
tagcs of obedience and good behavior J."

st. Paul was II city of at least LOG, 900 inhal1-
itants yesterday. From daylight to long after
dark the trains that entered the city were
loaded down with strangers rushing to see Rar-
US at the State fair and take in the other sights
OF the metropolis of Minnesota. They came in
droves from half q dozen to ten hun
dred strong. Men with bronzed faces dressed
An homespun; comely women, Hastily attired
boys and girls all the way from the yewling to
the cooling and billing age; old men with state
ly danes hang ing to their arms or independ-
emily walking by their sides; young men
with their sweethearts; parents with
their children, all contributed to make up n
dense mass OF humanity that tugged and
struggled to gain an entrance to the city. They
were packed into passenger cars like behring's
in box, and laid into freight cars
az thick as sardines. They filled the
on the tops of cars. No personal discomfort
seemed to deter them from the pursuit OF their
object. They wanted to come and they came
in spite of everything. They looked over the
city an hour two and then started out for
the fair.
At night they returned to the city as fast as
the limited railway accommoda tions would al
low. They found plenty to eat, and
with appettes sharpened by the
days exctements, they enjoyed their
evening repasts. Then they saw the city by
gaslight. Every street thronged with
sight-seers up to long past midnight. They
thronged the ice cream saloons and
the gin mills, visited the thea
ter and other points of interest,
and spent their money freely. 1t was the day
of days for then and finding the city in holt
day garb, prepared to receive them,
they entered into the enjoyments OF the day
with their whole hearts. And, late a.
night, with tired limbs they sought
rest at such places could afford lodging for
wearied and not over-particular humanity.
The day was woarisome one, but was not
destitute of its enjoyments.
1t Is estimated by competent judges that
there were between 10000 and $4,000 strangers
in the city yesterday.

Il Ltt3te Gtri 'SHce6 from DrOlcIeiUy by II
Trout.
Whitehall Times
One of the most remarkable evidences that
fishes possess reasoning power, is related to us
by reliable gentleman, which we hasten to
lay before readers Our informant has on
his grounds an artificial trout pond, which
contains at least 5000 spotted beauties, weigh
ing from a-half to two pounds each. Tue gen
tleman has little daughter five years of age,
who may well be called the queen of the speck-
led beauties. This little miss has succeeded
in training the fish, SO that she can go to the
edge of the pond, and with handful of
crumbs feed them from her chubby fat hand
The fish have learned to jump out Of the water
and snatch a worm from her fingers. They
seem exceedingly fond of her, in fact, they be
said to perfectly adore their little queen On
Thursday last the little one was standing near
the edge of the pond, where the water was quite
deep. While reaching over to drop few
crumbs to her subjects, she suddenly lost her
balance and pitched hesdlong into the water.
She says that she went way down." when she
felt something underneath her, and she quickly
rose to the surface, where she put her little
lungs to their utmost test and called Justify for
help. Her cries quickly attracted her parents,
and they were Mortified at seeing the little girl
floating upon the surface of the pond. The
father rushed quickly to the waters edge and
reached out for his treasure and as he raised
her from the water Il perfect solid mass of trout
were found beneath her. These faithful sub
jects of the little queen. as she fell, quickly
raised her, and thus showed their love for their
mistress by bearing up her body until aid ar
rived thus preventing her from meeting a
watery grave, which she would otherwise have
done. Parents who have little ones can mag
inc the parents love for these trout, when they
mber that their sagacity saved the life of
their little daughter
