NEyEh sNuR. a CHILD.

That was what our b ster said in his
sermon n few weeks ago, and If those
four words made as much impression on
the congregation Us they did on US, that
sermon will prove of more real practical
value than. most that are preached, and
the children of generations yet unborn
will have good reason to rise up and
call the preacher blessed. We have no
idea of giving report of that sermon,
or even a synopsis of 1t. What we have
quoted is in itself q sufficient topic for
consideration, and enough to furnish
food for thought through one sitting.
Never snub a child" Mind that,
YOU fathers and mothers who will read !!
Think for moment what effect hasty,
thoughtIess word may make on the
child's disposition The little one may
come to YOU when you are worn out by
toll, tried from mental labor, engaged in
reading or in conversation, or busted
with some perplexlng task,
and trouble you with an innocent
question. 1t you are vexed, don't
don't speak hastily; answer the question
as we'll AS you can-some questions that
children ask are not easily answered.
and send the child away kindly. Its
pleasant face will diffuse light and love
over the whole household, and do you d
| better service than you may be aware of
| A frown. rebuke, even the slightest
| check, will show its effect upon the
! child's countenance, and you may be
sure it goes deeper than you can see, and
lasts longer than you may think
| No opportunity to cultivate child's
selfrespect should be neglected. Thai
| is the foundation to true manhood, and
| he who builds on any other builds on {
| quicksand. Better than the education o.
the schools or fortunate business connec
tions, high birth or influential friends
These are all well as adjuncts, but alto
gether they are less to be desired thar
the selfrespect which begets confidence
energy, seli-reliance.
| If you want TO try an experiment, TAKE
dog and subject it for six months Il
the same treatment some children re
ceIve, and observe the effect. Our wore
for 1t. you will give it such disposition
that ii will be known all over the neigh
borhOOd as an animal to be avoided
Somewhat like effects are produced OF
all other animals. There are, of course
differences. Some will be more easily
affected than others, as their natural dis
positions differ, but a harsh word il
never without injury; and if this is thu
case with animals, whose appreciation
of praise or blame must be comparative
" small, what must be the result when
finely organized child is the subject?
Many brutal instincts may, in a meas
ure, be overcome by kindness; and, Oh
the contrary, humanity becomes dull b.
uudeserved reproof, even when it is no
formulated in words. The world woul'
be better if there were more kind,
words, and many child grows up to b
hard-hearled, unloving man who,
, reared in an atmosphere of kindnes:
would have nourished the seeds atfeC
| ton planted in his youthful days, and i
his maturity been blessing to all abou
him.-Rural New Yorker.

Coffey county has grappled with the
exodus problem in a manner which will
fairly test the question Of the negro refu-
gees adaptation 10 Kansas soil. Within
the past week one hundred and fifty EEK
odites" from Texas have arrived at Bur-
lington, bringing with them thirty head
of oxen, eighteen or twenty wagons, sew
eral teams of horses, household plumber,
&c. They want land, but have not much
money left after paying their fare and
freight, and number of the citizens
have made arrangements to put them
onto body Of school land, containing
one thousand acres, on the west line OF
the county, and give them q chance &c

MANUFACTURES OF GLUCOSE
New York Tribune


Glucose manufacture is making an ex-
citement in the maize districts of the
west, the factory at Bugalo and its re-
markable success being the prime stimu-
liant. Half dozen establishments have
been planted within q month in Indiana,
Illinois and Iowa. Cyrus Mccormick
and others have, it is said, put $3.50, 600
into one at Chicago. 1t is to have ca.
pacity of 10000 bushels day, which is
the equivalent of 800 tons of sugar. A
bushel of corn, costing about forty cents
produces thirty pounds of grape sugar
or three gallons of strip. This sugar
winch costs them net two cents q pound
thew can sell at from three and one-hali
TO four cents, while the three gallons Of
sirup can be sold at from thirty-five tc
forty cents a gallon. This new industry
promises to dispose of the ''over-produc
ton" question, and 1t will probably
henceforth not be cheaper to burn corr
than wood in central Iowa

THE GREAT GLACIERS OF ALASKA


The Strickine is perhaps better known
than any other river in Alaska, because
OF it being the way back to the Cassiar
gold mines. 1t is about $50 or 400
miles long, and manageable for small
steamers 10 Glenora, $50 miles, flowing
first in a general westerly direction
through grassy undulating plains, dark
ened here and there with patches of ev-
ergreens, then curving southwark, and
receiving numerous tributaries from the
north, it enters the coast range and
sweeps across it to the sea through Yo-
semitic valley more than 100 miles long
and one to three miles wide at the bot
tom, and from 5000 to 5000 feet deep,
marvellously beautiful and inspiring
from end to end.
To the appreciative tourist sailing up
the river through the midst of it all, the
canon, for distance of about 11G miles,
is a gallery of sublime pictures, an un-
broken series of majestic mountains, gla-
ciers, falls, cascades, forests, groves, flow
cry garden spots, grassy meadows IN
| endless variety of form and composition
furniture enough for a dozen YosemI-
tes-while back of the walls. and thou
sands of feet above them, innumerable
peaks and spires, and d0nAes of ice and
snow tower grandly into the sky.
of the river you come to the first of the
! great glaciers, pouring down through the
| forest in a shattered ice-cascade nearly
to the level of the river. Here the canon
is about two miles wide, planted with
| cottonwoods along the banks of the river
| and spruce and fir and patches of wilo
rose and raspberry extend back to thu
| grand Yosemite walls. Twelve mile!
| back to this point a noble view is opened
among the Skoot river canon-a group o
glacier.laden Alps from 10000 to 12,OOC
feet high, the source of the largest tribu
tary of the Stickine.
Thirty-five miles above the mouth o
the river the most striking object of al
comes IN view. This is the lower eX
banded part of the great glacier, meas
uring about six miles around the snout
pushing boldly forward into the middle
of the valley among the trees, while it
sources are mostly hidden. 1t takes it
rise in the heart of the range, some thirty
or forty miles away. Compared will
this the Swiss mer de gldce is a small
| thing 1t is called the lice mountain,
and seems to have been regarded as
| motionleSs mass, created on the spot
like the rocks and trees about, with
out venturing to guess as TO how o
when. The front of the snout is abou
three hundred feet high, but rises rapid,
back for a few miles to Il height of abou
one thousand feet. Seen through gap
in the trees growing on one of its tel
minal moraines, as one sails slowly
along against the current, the marvellou
beauty of the chasms and clustered pir
nacles shows to fine advantage in tn
sunshine; but tame indeed must be til
observer who is satisfied with SO cheal
a view.

AN OUTSlDE WHITEWAsH

If people knew how easily whitewash
is made, and how valuable it is when
properly applied. 1t not only prevents
the decay of wood, but it is greatly con-
ducive to the healthfulness of buildings,
whether of wood or stone. Outbuild-
ings and fences, when not painted, should
be supplied once or twice a year with a
good coat of whitewash, which should
be prepared in the following way:
Take a clean. water-tight barrel, or
other suitable cask, and put into it aneth
er half-bushel of lime. Slakeit by pour
ing water over it boiling hot, and in suf-
ficient quantity to cover it five inches
deep, and stir it briskly till thoroughly
Stacked. When the shaking has been
thoroughly effected, dissolve it in wat
er, and add two pounds of sulphate OF
zinc and of common salt. These will
cause the wash to harden and prevent
its cracking, which give un
seemly appearance to the work
If desirable, a beautiful cream color
may be gwen to the above wash by adj
ding three pounds of yellow ocher; or q
good pearl of lead color by the addition Of
lamp, vine or ivy black. For fawn color
add four pounds of lumber, either Turk
ish or American-the latter is the cheap
er-one pound of Indian red, one pound
of common lampblack. For common
stone color, add four pounds of raw um
| Der and two pounds of lamptlack.-

explaining their vote, protested against

gates, call of the roll was had, resulting
ayes, 1888; nays. Is.
Nearly all OF the delegates from the
second and third districts refused to
vote, which accounts for too small a vote
in the negative.
Mr.. Morrill,, of Brown county, offered
the following resolution, and moved

Resolced, That the following named
gentlemen be the nominees for presiden-
tial electors of the Republican party OF
the state of Kansas, to wit:
John Schilling, W. A. PETER, Jas. D.
Snoddy, r. w. p. Muse, H. Richie.

the resolution was adopted without an
opposing vote.
| A series of resolutions were then pre-
sented, the presidential electors were
elected, and the convention adjourned

A DREAM.


There are many churches TO which the
significance of a dream recently related
by Hartford deacon might well be COM
mended. 1t was of two brethren who
met in heaven, when one of them Incl
IDENTIFY remarked that he came from earth.
The other Immediately caught at the
idea, and remarked, with much interest:
"Indeedi l also came from earth" He
replied rs that so? Pray, from what
portion of the earth did you come? He
answered; From the United States of
America" The other replied; All! did
you? | also came from there. How
happy am to meet you, and make your
acquaintance. Now, pray, tell me from
which of the states you came" He re-
Piled: II came from the good old state
of Connecticut-thel land ofsteady habits"
More interested than ever, he exclaimed :
lis it possibleI If you will believe
me, also came from that state" Here
he proceeded to inquire further. Eek,
cuse me, but may l ask further, from
what place in Connecticut you came 81
Certainly" he replied, 81 came from
Hartford More astonished still, he ex
claimed: How strange! Why, came
| from there too, and lived there during all
my soiourn on earth, and yet we never
made each others acquaintance" The
inquiry then arose: "With what par
ticular church in that city were you con
nected 2" He answered: with the
Rev.-'s church" He exclaimed
astonishing! Is it possible? / was ;
member of the same church, and yet W.
never became acquainted Or even spok,
to each other" The two brethren i'm
plored each others forgiveness, and ask
ed God to help them to set aside earthl!
distinctions, and to live more in fellow
