How to Spoil Children.

A timid mother is a terrible plague
to youngsters trimming over with ami
mal spirit. She will not allow the girls
to skate lest the ice should give way;
nor to row, because young men injure
themselves in those dreadful boat
races. They may not have pet dog
in case it may go mad, nor any aconite
or monKshood in their gardens for fear
they should get poisoned. The timid
mother forbids her daughter to visit
amongst the poor, as she might take
the smallpox, and she must not walk
alone for fear of tramps. Her boys
cannot propose either work or play
which she does not prove to be encom-
passed with dangers horrible and hith-
erto unthought of. In childish days
they were not allowed a rocking-horse
for fear it would over-balance, nor a
swing in case the rope might break,
nor pocket-knife lest they might cut
their fingers. The coddling mother is
very nearly allied to the timid one,
She is always tying comforters around
her children's throats, and applying
flannel to mysterious places where 1t
will not stay. She contends that every
one either has cold or is taking one.
She is constantly discovering obscure
signs of some deadly disease in her
children. She takes for granted that
all daughters have weak spines, so
their beds are destitute of pillows and
there is reclining board in every
room. When the coddling mother
takes her girls to a picnic, she will not
allow them to sit on the grass, nor in
lhe sun, nor under tree, nor on a
rock. They must return with her be-
fore the dew begins to fall and are new
er allowed to look at the moon except
through a window They are taught
to be always Analysing their sensations,
and lose half the pleasures ofevery-day
life. Gradually they come to the be
lief that they are incurable invalids,
and existence is thoroughly embittered
! for them.

The Albany Railway HorrOr

The Inter Oceans Clinton la. spec
ial gives the following particulars of the
accident at Albany, H.; When with
IN a few feet Of the bridge, the engin-
oer must have noticed suspicious APP
nearances, as he gave two or three
Il ihort, sharp whistles, as signals of dam
u ger. Then imm ediately followed s.
6rash, which was heard three miles in
Either direction, as the whole train
went down into the rushing waters.
xThe Meredosia is at a very high stage
q from the overflow of the Rock river
Motions beyond, and an unusual tor
N rent had undermined the trestle so
that 100 feet of it gave way as the en-
cine passed upon it. The engineer is
believed to have bravely stuck to his
throttle when he might possibly have
saved his life by jumping. The ex-
press messenger, Daniel Ellithorpe, and
the baggage man, Samuel Flanagan,
had Just gone into the passenger coach
before the accident and they, with the
brakeman, Henry Meyers, and the con-
ductor, Thomas Fuller, all escaped by
climbing on top of the passenger car as
it was sinking, and leaping thence to
the top Of the sleeper. Three of the
passengers in the rear ear escaped by
climbing out of their berths, up through
the rear end of the car in their night
clothes, but afterward recovered all
their garments. One of the gentlemen
ran back to Albany in his night clothes
in the rain, and reused the neighbors.
Meantime the passenger coach, with its
eleven occupants, settled into the
stream and hoated off across the water
thirty rods, to an island, where it lodged.
One man CROPPED his way, and with the
help of train man, pulled out lady
and girl who were the only female oc-
cupants of the car except one other
| child, a girl two years old; who was
! drowned. The mother and daughter
we're rescued with great difficulty, and
we're IN a badly burned condition. The
daughter had two or three ribs
broken, and was otherwise badly
hurt internally. OF eleven passen-
gers in the car only five have been
found. The lady is believed to be
named Wilson, and was travelling to
Des Moines to meet her husband at
Savanna. General horror is felt over
the dire disaster, the worst ever known
in this immediate region. The pile
driver arrived from Freeport this after
noon and is busy at work. The sleep
ing coach is being rolled out of the way
and piles are being rapidly driven. 1t
is expected to have the track repaired
tomorrow. No bodies were found up
to dark tonight, though the citizens of
Albany have been dragging the river.
An engine and a freight caboose passed
over the trestle only twenty minutes
ahead of the express. The scenes OF
| the accident are graphically described
by the rescued passengers, who can hard,
] ly account for their escape. 1t is
\ simply remarkable that any one es-
Acaped.

The lumber of the future is to be
made of straw 1t is to compete with
that of the better class, as there seems
to be no necessity of introducing knots
and shakes into the artificial material
1t is manufactured III any desired
length from twelve feet upward and as
much as 30 inches in width. The cost
is such as to compete with better OF
finishing grades of pine, and the local
ity of competition cannot vary much, fol
straw is usually cheap where lumber is
cheap. The samples made by s. M
Hamilton, of Kansas, hold nail a
well as wood, is susceptible of high fin
ISL and can be polished to any extent
desired. 1t is water proof, and, there
fore, must be durable as pine or oak
while it is as well adapted for roofing
purposes as for fine interior work.

A man in Connecticut, of a cautious
disposition, awoke from his slumbers
the other night and detected the smell
of burning wool. He cried out to his
wife that the house was on fire, and
the pair began explorations. Every
room in the house was visited, but no
signs of fire were discovered. They re-
tired in an anxious frame of mind and
awaited results 1t was discovered that
the suspicious smell proceeded from a
porous plaster that the man had applied
to his back during the day.

The Popular Demand

So great has been the popular de-
mand for the celebrated remedy Kid
ney-Wort, that is it having an immense
sale from Maine to California Some
have found it inconvenient to prepare
it from the dry compound. For such
the proprietors now prepare itin liquid
form. This can be procured by the
druggists. 1t has precisely the same
effect as the dry, but is very concent-
rated so that the dose is much smaller.

Alexander III.

At one time the late Gar was pre-
walled upon to wear clean breast
plate under his tunic, but though one
of the lightest kind was made for him
he could not bear its weight, SO the ex-
pedient vas adopted of causing his
tunics to be padded with cotton wool
stepped in a preparation which har-
dened it, AMI rendered it, if not bullet
proof, at least kniie-proof, and difficult
for even a bullet to pierce at a long
shot. An attempt was made some
time ago to poison the Gar by sending
him petition covered with some nox-
ious powder since which he ceased to
receive letters, papers OF petitions.
For similar reason he gave up smok-
ing, though he used to like "A cigar,
and he drank no wine but from bottles
uncorked in his presence. In the i'm
perial kitchen the Cars food was pre-
pared by French cook, who piled all
his avocations under the eyes Of two
police guards-not that the cook him.
self could incur any suspicion, but be-
cause some conspirator might have got
at the ingredients he was preparing.
The food was always cooked in the sim
pllst way, without sauces, and it was
tasted by two officials before it was
3seryed at the Cars table. Everything
that Alexander II. ate or drank was
tasted in his presence, and all the at
/tendance in the dining room was per
formed by servants of trie / fidelity.
