A Word for the Little Ones.

I hate to see children forced to do
things that are dioagreeable to them.
merely for the purpose of making them
obey. Where any good end is to be an
swered it is different. Little ones often
object to what is good for them, and
when frmness is necessary, people should
of course be firm, But, if a little, pow
erless creature has a strong fancy or a
great repugnance, parent or guar
dian abuses his power in ignoring it.
Why should your little boy be made
to eat the fat of his meat, if he loathes
it. or anything, no matter what, that is
repulsive to him? Itmay be necessary
to refuse some things at the table, but
seldom, if ever, to force things upon
them.
Why make child, either girl or boy,
miserable by forcing it to wear articles
of clothing of which its taste does not
approve or at which other girls laugh /?
I think little girls suffer more from this
than from any other thing. Almost all
of us have some such memory. I know
of lady whose childish life was made
very wretched for year by an obsolete
old bag in which she was forced to carry
her books to school; and another whose
mother forced her to wear some old lace
which, though costly, was laughed at
by ignorant children who made her
world, and declared that she actually
wished herself dead, until that lace was
banished from her wardrobe.
If you can afford it, it is wiser to give
your boy the particular top or knife he
wants, and your girl the very doll she
covets or the blue ribbon she admires.
And, at any rate, you need not uselessly
force them to anything from which they
shrink or which makes them unhappy.

Preferred the Hospital.

Zach Chandler was not only strong
man and expert boxer, but he had the
sand to back his muscle, and it didn't
take all day to rile him. Just at the
close of the war, and the day before the
grand review in Washington, the Sena-
tor came out to Bladensburg to visit the
Michigan cavalry. The boys were In
high spirits, and many of the Sixth were
interested spectators of boxing match,
or rather of a series of set-to's with
the gloves. Zach took his place in the
circle unknown to all and attracted no
attention until one of the boxers was
driven back upon him. Leaning for
ward the Senator whispered:
Young man, saw a dozen good
chances for your left in there"
"Say, old coon, maybe you're on the
box /! " called the other, as he overheard
the remark.
Zach peeled off his alpaca coat, put
down his hat, and took the gloves from
the one who had been worsted. The
other man was the best boxer In the
regiment, and there was intense excite
ment as the two squared of. Not a
pass was made for a minute, and then
the Senator found an opening and sent
left-hander SO straight and solid that
his opponent went down like log. He
got up slowly and in dazed condition,
and, removing the gloves from his hands,
approached the Senator and asked:
Say, did you hit me with brick
hospital ?"
"No, I struck with this" replied
Zach, as he held out his left.
The man surveyed it, felt of it, run his
hand up and down the Senator's arm,
and turned to the boys and observed:
"That settles me. I prefer the brick
hospital l"-Detroit Free Press.

Ailments Of MorkingMomerl.

In a paper read before the Kings
County IN. W Medical Society, DR..
-Chace gives the results of professional
experience of two years among working
women. One hundred and fifty of this
kind of patients had come under his
care. The cases were all recorded and
tabulated. s7t 1sa 5aa
These records do not, except in very
limited degree, confirm the peculiar no.
tions concerning the ills Of working
women. teH i'7t a i4ia
1T is not denied that thess girls often
feel severe fatigue from standing hour
after hour, but DR.. Chace maintains that
their health depends upon other matters

The saleswomen included in this in
vestigation are divided into three classes
those who are reduced from compare
tive afduence to poverty, and must work
to live; those who have good homes,
and do not need to work, but who de-
sire an increase of pocket money for
purposes of dress and, lastly, the poor
girl, whom want, both of self and rela-
tives, forces to work for the benefit of
the household in which she has her
home.
The tables show that of eighty-two
patients, suffering from the three dis
eases to which this class of employees
seem especially liable, seventy-tWo are
divided between the two classes who are
compelled to work. Of the middle class,
those who work for pocket-money, but
ten were found suffering from the causes
alluded to. Again, it is affirmed in the
report that none of the evils reported
for all classes were such as would neces-
sarily result from long continued stand
ing: Is .s-.. .........
The girls wages are from So to 81
weekly, the average being about Sc.
From this sum the two poorer classes
pay for board. lodging, dress, medical
attendance, car fares and ferriages, and
also contribute certain amount to the
support of Others The middle class
have comfortable homes, wholesome
food and healthful sure lndings which
they get Independently OF their wages,
and they can afford vacations. Some of
them work ten and some eleven months
in the year J; q few not over six months.
OF fifty girls of the independent class,
not one had been FRUSTRATED by illness
of a serious character or lasting more
than three days during the two years
they were under observation. They
worked during the same hours and per-
formed the same labor in the same way
as their poorer sisters. They were not
i'll, DIR. Chace said, because their hygi-
enic environment was better, and be-
cause they were not subjected to the
prolonged strain upon the nervous sys-
tenn inseparable from those who work
for bread under adverse circumstances.

Russian Railways.

The cars on Russian railways are con-
structed after patent furnished by the
Government. They are different from
English cars, though they have COM
partments, in having passage way Ill
the middle running the entire length
OF the car, the doors leading into the car
being at the side, and one near each end
on opposite sides of the car. They are
now having cars with doors in the end
introduced. The different classes of cars
are finished differently, the first class be-
ing finely upholstered, the second hav-
ing poorer quality of cloth, and the
third having no upholstering at all. They
are heated in winter by two wood stoves,
one at each end of the car, but are very
cold. The compartments will seat from
TOUR to SIX persons, but in the first-class
cars a passenger can hire whole COM
partment, the seats of which are capable
OF being arranged so as to make COM
Portable bed. The engines are mostly
fred with wood. Only the workmen
and peasants travel In third-class cars.
The cost of travelling in Russia for 100
miles is six paper rubles In the first class,
four in the second and two in the third.
In Finland the rates are nearly the same,
but are on a specie basis. Since 1860
the Government has exacted tax of %
per cent. on passenger fares, which is
added to the regular rates. Children
under years go free, and from 5 to IL
at half fare,

A Domestic Romance.

''Aee. you going to give me that
$2.5(?"
Arthur Ainsleigh turned quickly but
quietly from the landscape on which his
eyes were fixed-a bit of green meadow
fringed with hills, on whose tops the
rays of The setting sun were just resting,
bringing out the bright tints Of the heath
er, and giving to the whole scene a rich,
warm coloring such as one sees in the
works Of the old masters that gem the
galleries of Europe-and looked tenderly
but firmly at the beautiful girl who stood
by his side.
'sNo, my darling" he said, taking her
small hand gently into his, 81 cannot
stake you SO high as that. Let it be a
dollar, sweetheart, and the money is
yours.
The girl started back as if stung by
serpent, the sudden movement revealing
each graceful outline of her 1.-the figure
end. showing the perfect symmetry of
her ashes-of-roses polonaise, which had
two rows Of pleating down the front and
was shirred up the back-stretch and
pretty well around the lower turn.
Looking at the young man steadily
for moment, she said in low, tremu-
lous tones that showed far more plainly
than the CHASTITY paleness of her face the
terrible emotions that were racking her
soul: You are mean, hateful thing"
and, bursting suddenly into o fit of
wild, hysterical weeping, she left the
room.
They had been married but four
months, Arthur Ainsleigh and Ethel
Quirk, and already the black clouds of
domestic discord were showing their
forbidding outlines on the edge of the
erstwhile rosy horizon, while the jagged
bolts of jealousy were lighting up with
lurid glare the empyrean so recently
unlocked by a cloud, and the hoarse
mutterings of discomfort and waning
love reverberated in hollow and mourn
full tones throughout the dome of the
ideal palace which these two young
hearts had so short time since built for
themselves.
It was asimple matter thathad brought
about this discord. Ethel wanted five
pairs of stockings at 30 cents per pair,
while Arthur had decided that two was
all she needels
For nearly an hour not a sound broke
the silence that reigned in the boudoir
from which Ethel had departedin anger,
save the soft ticking of marble clock.
Arthur still sat modify on the tauteatit,
absorbed in thought. The door was
softly opened and Ethel came in. Ar
thur did not hear her. Stepping softly
across the room she knelt beside him,
and, throwing her soft, warm arms
around his neck, said in voice broken
with emotion: =" will take the dollar,
darling"
Arthur looked up suddenly and saw
that Ethers eyes were suffused with
tears. Kissing them gently away, and
splitting the salt water out of his mouth
while her bead was again resting trust
fully on his shirt-front, he said: 81
knew you would see [ was right, and
handed her the dollar.
This happened on the 18th of Deem
Der. On the 18th Arthur spent SIG. 40 to
pay bill for billiards and drinks that
he had sawed-off " for.

4 Deadly Neanon.

The Supreme Court of California has
set aside the verdict IN a murder case
because the court below refused to give
the jury a definition of the term
ideally weapon. The testimony III
the case went to show that the deceased,
when he was shot, was about to strike
the defendant with pick handle. The
Judge charged the jury" that, if they
believed from the evidence that the de-
ceased assaulted the defendant with s.
deadly weapon, they should consider the
intent with which such assault was COM
mitted and, if they should find that
there was reasonable ground of appre-
hension that the deceased designed to
commit a felony OF do the defendant
some great bodily injury, and that there
was imminent danger of such design
being accomplished, and the defendant
acted alone under the fear that such de-
sign would be accomplished, then they
should find that the defendant was justi-
fed in killing the deceased" The
Jurors, after deliberating some hours on
the case, asked the Judge to instruct
them as to what is meant in law by the
term "deadly weapon. The Judge
said it was for the jury to determine
what is deadly weapon, and the court
could not assist them. The prisoner
being convicted, this point was taken
to the Supreme Court, where It was
held that the court below erred in re-
fusing to say what was meant in law by
the phrase " deadlyiweapon, AID q new
trial was ordered. The Supreme Court
undertakes to give a definition of a
deadly weapon, but it is so general in
its terms that it is difficult to see how it
could be of any assistance to a jury.
"a deadly weapon" says the California
Supreme Court, is one likely to pro-
duce death or great bodily injury "a
definition which is no more definite than
f.he term itself.

Surgeons Preaching.

In the vast throng the eye soon rec
ognlzes the central figure of the whole.
Ii he were not there, the pastor of this
immense flock, one might speculate, ig-
norant of his absence, Is not that per-
haps he, i or the other? But, being
there, no doubt can exist. The one fig
ure comes out, to which all others are
setting-a full, palid face, with thick
iron-gray hair and fringe of dark
beard. AS the clock overhead shows
the half-hour the pastor comes forward,
and at once the confused sound ceases
the shutting of feet, the frou-frou of
dresses, the nervous cough that runs
over the area like the rattle of file-fring
and a profound stiffness greets the
first words of prayer. The voice is worn
with much service, even husky in the
higher notes, but admirably managed
and modulated SO as to reach every cor
ner of the wide arena. We feel at once
that we are in the presence of born
orator. Without book or scrap OF pa
per, there is, from the first, confident,
easy flow of well-chosen words. Some
distinguished orators put you in a cold
perspiration till they have fairly warmed
to their work but, with Mr.. Spurgeon
all is easy and self-conscious power
which inspires confidence in the listener.
1t is part of the preachers system not to
spare himself in any way, but to give
the whole service the emphasis of his
own unaided powers. His reading of
scripture is accompanied by running
commentary that is kind of prelimina-
ry sermon, and he gives out each verse
of the hymn with appropriate feeling
and action. There is no organ, and it
excites certain feeling of disparity of
means to end, when an elderly precentor
leans forward from the tribune and
sounds a tuning fork to lead off the
psalmody-the assemblage is so big and
the tuning fork so small. But the sing
ing itself is disappointing. There is
not that grand outpouring one might
expect from such an assemblage.
A great deal of the charm of Mr.
Surgeons discourse-and there is
powerful charm about it, causing time
to flow on unperceived, and the risk of
losing train to be disregarded- due
to the ease and certainty of delivery,
and the good old English in which it is
expressed. If the preacher in former
days sometimes sacrificed good taste to
force of expression, time and experience
have toned down such exuberances.
But much of the ancient fire still smoul-
ders beneath the surface, and, perhaps,
the expectation of the breaking forth of
some sudden flash of electric nature
still further increases the before-men-
toned charm. But, really, the time one
likes Mr.. Sturgeon best is when he met
aphorically descends altogether from
the platform, and, taking his audience
by the button-hole, SO to speak, recounts
some telling little story or epigrammat-
ic saying. AL the Year Round.
