The Railroad to Ketchum.


From information direct from railroad
headquarters. it appears we shall have
the railroad here in the early part Of the
season. We are promised the railroad
within forty miles of us in season to re-
ceive freight and passengersfo for our sum
mer operations OF 1882 We are not at
liberty to name the point at present. 1t
will continue to the upper waters of
Wood river as rapidly as possible. The
Timber Department of the railroad COM
pany are pushing the tie and bridge part
of their business in this section with as
much vigor as circumstances will per-
init. They have about one hundred
men at work ON Wood river and its iri-
bntaries, and would have had more, per-
haps double the number, had not few
articles been published III different pa
pers about the country to the effect that
choppers could not make a living chop
ping at prices given. Such reports be-
long to those who do not want work.
The facts are, for the number of hours

lated by the railroad company's agents.
Messrs Coe Carter Mr. L. FL Russell
is their manager here, and no better
man conld hahe been sent into the coun-
try. as he is familiar with every part Of
the business. He is in charge OF the
large supply store here. where every
necessary article for camp life is kept
and supplied to the men. Any one can
work, as they advance supplies to all
who viii engage TO make ties. We con-
graduate the company in sending SO
good man here. Mr.. Russell's stay
will probably be two years, or until the
railroad is completed through our rich
mineral country. The U. p. don't let
up never until they complete their
work.

place" and then take the work out of her
hand and do it yourself. This will encourage
the girl not to try to do the thing next time
she is set about it,
Never permit your son to have any amuse-
ment at home. This will induce him to seek
it in places whore you will not bS annoyed by
the 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 first class
housebreakers all on account of this judicious
treatment in early childhood.
Never permit your children to contradict.
Let them know that that is your peculiar pro-
rogatiye.
In Gliding your childreh'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 a girl. 1t is always
pleasant to children to be constantly remind
ed of their obligations.
Don't let your son indulge in any kind of
outdoor games. Keep him to his books. 1t
will make great man of him some day, If he
should happen to live.
Your girls should never be permitted to
romp. Let them grow into interesting in
valds, by all means.
Be gentle aud courteous before company
but If You have temper, let your children
have a taste Of 80 often convenient. A
mother should never practice 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 d 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 dis
appointments
When your boy gets comfortably seated in
the easy chair, take it from him. This will
induce him to appreciate a good thing when
he grows older, and stick to it--a seat ID u
crowded horse car, for example.
Tell your children they are the worst you
ever saw, and they will no doubt endeavor
to merit your appreciation.

remarkable discoveries Of Jenner, Pasteur,

the possibility Of combating tuberculosis in

chicken cholera and anthrax, is due to the
very rapid increase of certain minute organ

hope that incubation with its weakened

its toothless mouth irrespective of need of

reputed very irritable. Tickling the baby's
feet, creeping the fingers like the motion of
mouse across its breast and up into its fat,
sensitive neck wrinkles, is another mode Of
amusing baby. OF course the child laughs,
aud the idiots who torment it forget that it

to similar process from the hand Of some
mischievous but torturfng friend and yet we
all know that this laugh from man is a hys-

Near tie close of the summer season, in a
pleasant summer retreat, a new conner found
the entire company of the little hotel prepar-
ing to give a Jss6 III honorof young lady
who was about TO leave them. The young
man had brought a band aud caterer from the
city, marques were erected on the lawn, the
house was wreathed with flowers everybody,
from the wlite-haiied gAndmothers to the
little children, had some little farewell gift
ready for Miss Betty The stranger was
curious.
"This Miss Betty is very beautiful, no
doubt9" be asked his friend. -

me before, but believe she is homely.n

brilliant, witty? Highly inteilectual?"
No, indeed she never said a fine thing
10 her life. But she is the best listener
ever knew. Neither is she learned or clever
or fascinating; but really she is the most
loveable girl in the world.
:" Not patrician, but Caesar himself.
What is the charm, then?n
Betty's friend looked perpexed, 81 don't
know, he hesitated, unless it is that she
never thinks of herself
This is true story. The charm of this
woman was absolute absence of all self-con-
sciousness. She was neither vain nor modest
She simply forgot that there was such per-
son as Betty Gordon, and with her warm
heart and quick .sympathies threw herself in-
to the lives of Others. 1t was peculiar,
powerful attraction, and brought the little
world about her to her feet
This uneonsciousncss Of self is recognized
in our best classes as the finest development
of good breeding. Among the English no.
bilily, the mau of highest rank is likely to be
the most unassuming, direct and simple in
his manners. lie assumes the virtue of
modesty if lie has it not.
American young people are not apt to be
selfish, but are usually generous and consid-
crate. But they are often intensely selfcon-
scious. They are themselves SO engfossed with
the monster l. that they imagine the world is
equally interested. II this self-conscioasness
they continually speak, move and eyea think,
like actors before an audience. -ZjoR's
