A CRADLE THE DEEP.

We have got {. cradle in the house,
And We have something in it,
\ freakish, hayward, winsome BARN.
Not bigger than minute.
Although no diadeln he wears
But his ringlets soft and brow,
His every smile and k'own we heed.
As if he wore 4 crown.
No scepter in his hands he holds,
But then his pinky fist 50 small
He, like royal monarch, wields
And We are humble subjects all.
And when his tiny feet he stamps
1t aught, caprice or whim displeasr.
The brightest gift in babylon
We bring, him to appcase.
And when he wills to close his eyes.
We 60 on tiptoe through the house:
Even papns heavy-bootcd foot
Falls softly as mouse.
We have got Il despot on throne,
Reclining like Il ginglet:
For We have cradle in our house,
And we have something III it.

FamineS i'm India.
Pail Mall Gazette


The time is rapidly coming when the
for all to find some theory explaining
how it is that famines are becoming 50
much more frequent and more fatal in
India. The statistics of mortality from
famine fever last year in the northwest
provinces, published in the Government
Gazette and copied in some of the Lon
don papers, must, we should imagine,
make even the most sanguine doubt
whether we quite understand she great
problems we have to solve in the direct
administration Of India. Little was
heard in England of the famine in the
northwest provinces during the years
Of 1889. But it was most serious,
nevertheless and the figures now given
represent merely the latter effects of
that period ofdire scarcity and dearth.
Those figure are by themselves enough.
For the official statistics record that the
death rate from fever was actually 81
per 900 above the average through
out the northwest provinces. This
represents the decease of no fewer than
zoe, 900 persons from this cause alone.
In certain districts one-tenth and in
others one-twelfth of the whole popula-
ton persisted from the epidemic. More
frightful still land mere the statistics
seem scarcely credible), it is estimated
that 75per cent, of the people-that is
to say, 24,000,OOO persons suffered
from the epidemic in one form or an
other. The sanitary commissioners, it
may be observed, ascribe the severity
and great mortality Of the epidemic Ito
the vast number Of persons who have
been brought to low state of health by
the high prices and distress Of the two
previous years.

Advertising.

Speaking of advertising the New York
Sun Gays: But the tricks of frauds and
swindlels cannot detract from the value
of advertising in newspapers which re.
ally have extensive circulation, and
which have a strong hold on the conf
dence of the public by reason of their
intrinsic merit. There is no method of
advertising comparable with that which
such journals furnish, and it is fortunate
for merchants that it is within their reach.
They get the benefit of the power of it.

The Merry Days of Old.

In reading of the middle ages one is struck by
the accounts given of eats of strength, SC. of the
life actors of those times. The suits of ar
NOR worn, would certainly indicate the posses
sion of greater physical strength than is develop
by men in these latter days. What wrought the
change? Men lived in the merry days more
outdoor life than this advanced civilization of
ours can afford There is a greater consumption
of brain matter, and that increased demand on
mental and physical power necessitates the use
of pure vegetable, stimulant tonic, such as the

Harper's Magazine for February is as
rich in illustration and as varied and
entertaining in its reading matter as any
number that has ever been issued. One
of the most interesting articles that have
ever been written about General Wash
ington is that contributed to this num-
Der by VIM. F. Crane, treating of
"Washington as Burgher," i. e., in his
relations with his fellow-townsmen of
Alexandra. The illustrations, num-
Der of which are drawn by Frank Mayer,
are exceedingly interesting. The Hon.
John Bigelow contributes an illustrated
paper entitled "a Visit to San Marino,"
from which it would appear that the
title of republic" as applied to this
province of Italy, is a misnomer. The
Editors Easy Chair renders graceful
tribute to Oliver Wendell Holmes,
apropos of his recent reception in Boston,
and discusses, in thoughtful essay, the
reaction against Dickens due to that
authors personal characteristics.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
Punctuality and Attendance.

I noticed an article in last week.
REGISTER on "Punctuality." While
the article named may apply to some
city schools and partially to country
schools it by no means portrays the
causes and effects of this ruinating evil
in their true light.
I say it can only be q partial success
because it may mitigate but never en-.
tirely rid the body educational of the
evil.
The habit of being behind time and
irregular in attendance is caused direct
ly or indirectly by the parents of the
children.
If the parents be careless and uncon.
cerned about this important matter
nearly all children can find some matter
more attractive for an hour or a day or
so than the routine of school life. The
school life of person may be compared
to chain and each day to link of the
chain. Every day out is one link out
and every time you are tardy one link is
weakened, so that at no very distant day
it may be broken out.
Some parents can find an hours work
each morning and every now and then a
days work and keep them out of school
to perform this labor. And by this
means they themselves weaken or break
one, two or three of the links and if
their child did not learn when at school
they lay it to the faultiness of the teach
er when they themselves broke out half
of the links of his school life.
There is no exercise attractive enough
to overcome the carelessness and ignor-
ance of parents on this important subject.
have closely observed the habits of
the parents of those children coming late
and irregularly to school and feel con-
ident that nine times out of ten it is the |
parents and not the child's fault.
And those parents fully alive on this |
point almost universally have their chill.
lren there all the time and in time. |
Therefore I do not believe there is any
way of overcoming these two perDicious |
wills of school work only by educating
md instructing parents up to proper
ofregularity and punctuality.
