There is one element in the home
instruction of boys to which too little
attention has been given, and that is
the cultivation of habits of punctual-
ity, system, order and responsibility.
In too many households boys from
twelve to seventeen years are too
much administered to by loving moth
ers, or other female members Of his
family. Boys lives during those years
are halcyon days of their existence.
Up in the morning just in season for
breakfast nothing to do but to start
off early enough not to be late look
ing upon an errand as taking so much
time and memory away from enjoy
ment; little thought Of personal APP
pearance except when reminded by
his mother to spruce up" a little /;
finding his wardrobe always where
mother puts tin fact, having moth
ing to do but enjoy himself.
Thus his life goes until school ends.
Then he is ready for business. He
goes into an Office where everything is
system, order and precision. He is
expected KEEP things neat and order
", sometimes kindle fires, file letters,
do errands-in short, become a part of
a nicely-regulated machine, where
everything moves in systematic
grooves, and each one is responsible
for correctness in his department, and
where, in place of ministers to his
comfort, he finds task-masters-morc
or less lenient, to be sure-and every
thing in marked contrast to his pre-
vious life.
In many instances the change is too
great. Errors become numerous f.;
blunders, overlooked at first, get to be
a matter of serious moment then
patience is o%vertasked, and the boy is
told his services are no longer wanted.
This is his first blow, and sometimes
he never rallies from it. Then CONES
the surprise of the parents, who too
often never know the real cause, nor
where they have failed in the training
of their children.
What is wanted is for every boy to
have something special to do to have
some duty at a definite hour, and ia
learn to watch for that time to come
to be answerable for a certain portion
of the routine of the household to
be trained to anticipate the time when
he may enter the ranks of business
and be fortified with habits of energy.

Very Thankful.


To prevent his neck from being
unlawfully broken by a mob, threats
of WHICH were made several days ago,
Sheriff MCGOWAN ran johnson, the
rapist, out Of the city last Monday
afternoon. The prisoner was care
fully handcuffed, but being a cripple
and suffering considerably from the
pistol ball wound inflicted by Ser
geant Kunholz the day he was
captured. When the sheriff conveyed
johnson from the Jail he believed
that an examination of his case was
about to be entered into by a magis-
trate, but ON seeing the hack turn to-
ward the suburbs he asked what it
meant. The sheriff informed himthat a
mob had made severe threats against
him, and that he had decided to re-
move him to another place. johnson
exhibited a grateful heart, and gave
expression to many thanks for this
timely movement. He had heard of
the demonstration made Sunday night
by a crowd of se~yenty-fve people
gathering around the Jail, and
he had been quite uneasy in
his mind. The sheriff drove john
son to Springdale, four miles from the
city, and at that point he boarded a
train with his prisoner. He declares
that he is now in safe quarters, and
that there is no danger Of an escape
or Of injury by a mob. The sheriff
feels hat it would be his duty
to defend the Jail against mob
violence at all hazards, and he
feels that it would be taking too many
chances to have it to do in the inter
est of so vile a character as johnson.
He does not wish to be injured nor
iniure any good man for SO brutal a
wretch as the villainous rapist.
johnson has a mother and brother at
New Albany, to whom it is said he
has written for assistance. For the
present his whereabouts are to be kept
hidden from the public. Doubtless
an early trial Of the case will be ar
ranged by the Criminal Court.

Hack Drivers g

A hack driver, named John Hines,
alias Skinny" had a row with an
other of the same calling named
George Griffin, on Vance street, near
Wellington, this morning about one
o'clock. It was all about which one
should have a load, both having run
for it, and both arriving nearly to-
gether. Hines cut Griffin badly about
Lhe face and in the breast with a knife,
then drove his hack to Mr.. Donohue's
stable near the railroad crossing on
the Raleigh road. The police got
after Hines but he made himself scarce
and was not caught. Griffin bled freely,
and being conveyed to his home had
bis wounds dressed.

Twelve sets of telephones have been
sent out to Sir Garnet Wolseley for
use at the seat of war in South Afri-
ca. The great advantages of the tele-
phone over the telegraph is that the
general can carry on confidential talk
with the officers of the district sta
lions, or a soldier can creep out to-
ward the enemy's lines and whisper
back the information as to positions.
A fine wire-the thinner the better
is all that is needed. This soldier

weighing only a few pounds. This
