Hints for Mothers.

When your daughter performs task
in an ill fashioned manner, always say.
There! l might as well have done it
myself in the first place, and then take
the work out of her hand and do it your
self. This will encourage tho girl not to
try to do the thing next time she is set
about it.
Never permit your son to have any
amusement at home. This will induce
him to seek it in places where you will
not be annoyed by his noise.
There is no place like home. Impress
this truth upon your children by making
home as disagreeable and unlike any
other place as possible.
Never neglect the lock on the pantry.
Some boys have probably turned out
tirstclass house breakers all on account
of this judicious treatment in early child
hood.
Never permit your children to contr a
diet Let them know that that is your
peculiar prerogative.
In Gliding your children's faults, never
forget to mention how much better the
Jones children behave. This will cause
your little ones everlastingly to love the
Jones children.
Take frequent occasion to tell your
children how much more favored their
lot is than yours was when you were
girl 1t is always pleasant to children to
he constantly reminded OF their obliga-
ito
Don't let your son indulge in any kind
of outdoor games. Keep him to his
books. 1t will make IA great man of him
some day, if he should happen to live.
Your girls should never be pei mitted
to romp. Let them grow into interest
ing invalids. by all means.
BE gentle and courteous before CON-
pany; but if you have Il temper, let your
children have taste of it as often as
convenient. A mother should never prac
tice deception upon her brood.
Talk slightingly of your husband to
your boys and girls. This will make
them respect their father.
Tell your child he shall not do thing,
and then let him tease you into giving
your consent. This will teach him what
to do on subsequent occasions.
Make promises TO your children, and
then neglect to keep them. This will
lead your children not to place too much
reliance upon your word, and shield
them from many disappointments.
When your boy gets comfortably
seated in the easy chair, take 1t away
from him, This will induce him to APP
preclate a good thing when he grows
older, and stick to it-a seat in q
crowded horse-car for example.
Tell your children they are the worst
You ever saw, and they will doubtless en-
deavor to merit your appreciation Bos-

italians In the lrgratine kepublic.

Thousands of Italians are settling in
the Argentine Republic. The American
Consul at Buenos Ayres writes: ''Ihey
are the poems of the Republic--its day
laborers, its hod carriers, its brick max
ers, its artisans, its skilled workmen, its
handicraftsmen. its operatives in manu-.
featuring establishments. 1t is the Ital-
ians sojourning in the country, and not
Argentines, who are developing the mar
vellous resources of the River Platte,
building its cities and opening its waste
places to the busy hand of industry. As
they advance the incident 'gaucho' is be-
ing showed further and further back into
the pampa. The Italians now number
about one-half Of the population Of
Buenos Ayres and probably exceed 5O0.-
600 souls In the entire Republic. And
the news Of the thrift and success which
have attended those who have already
made their homes here is bringing out
Thousands Of additional immigrants from
the provinces OF Piedmont, LignAna,
Lombsrdy, Tuscany, the Nespolitan
States, Sicily aud Venice. by every

who profited by it; the pursuit of the

He Came Back.

Gov. Daval, of Florida, was the son of
poor Virginian. stern, strong, taciturn
man. The boy was huge youth of fif-
teen. At the cabin fire, at bed time, ac-
cording to the custom of putting on a
back log, the old man said, between the
whiffs of his silent pipe; i.
"Tab, go out and bring in that gum
back log and put 1t on the fire."
Tab went out and surveyed the log. He
knew it was of no use explaining that it
was too heavy, nor prudent for him to
return without having it on his shoulder.
His little sister, passing, was not sur
prised that he requested her to bring out
the gun and powder horn as possum or
coon might have passed. or the brother
might have seen bear signs. She brought
the gun and Tab started, He found the
way through the woods into Kentucky
in 1891. After an absence of eighteen
years he was elected to congress. A
man of immense size and strength, he
started for Washington, going by way OF
his old home, to see the old folks who
had long since given him up for dead
Entering the little cabin door near bed
time, he saw the identical gum log. He
shouldered it, pulled the latch string and
with his load stood before the old man
pipe in mouth, as quiet as usual.
"Here is the gum back log, father"
"Well, you've been long time getting
it--put it on the fire and go to bed," was
the reply.-San AntOnia Herald.

The large square in front of the cathe-

so many people at the religious services
that the crowds at the great funeral ser
wees in the cemetery were only moder-

It is probable the real number Of vic.
tins will never be known. Names have
been falsely entered in the lists OF mis-
sing by persons wishing to obtain cards
of admission to view the bodies in the

tive trade has been done in such cards.

The duty of apportioning the State for
Representatives in congress under the
census of 1880, the districts to stand for
ten years or the five next congresses,
will devolve upon the incoming demo
cratic legislature. This is a most graft
flying fact in view of the studied unfair
ness of republican legislatures in so ger
rymandering the State in both congress
sional and legislative apportionments as
to virtually disfranchise and deny repre-
sentation to large portions of people fol-
republican party advantage; which is
seen in the two-to-one republican delega
tions in congress from this state.-Roch'

By the unthinking, Burdock has been
considered a weed, and the luxuriant
growth, unpleasant smell, etc., has rem
dered it, to those not knowing its value,
a nuisance, and yet the root has long
been acknowledged by savants as most
invaluable as diuretic, aperient and
blood purifier. Burdock Blood Bitters

A means of getting rid of mutilated
currency has been discovered in the St.
Louis churches, where the coins are
dropped into the collectors box. Promi-
nent ministers there are reported as say
ing that the effort to pass mutilated
money has been productive of more profit
to the church than when all sorts of sill
yer bric.a-brac were passable. A man
now who holds punctured half dollar,
after essaying to pass it off for merchan-
disc and being unsuccessful, finally re-
sorts to the collection box, and, with the
shortsightedness peculiar to roguery, he
drops half dollar or quarter where for
merly nickel or dime sufficed. The
money, when it accumulates, is sent to
the United States mint, where it is re-
ceived and paid for as bullion, entailing
loss Of five per cent.
