Women Do Not Understand Politics.

'The reason you were not elected,
dear, was because you did not look
at the moon over your shoulder"
said the superstitious wife of de-
feated candidate to her husband.
''That's all you know about Ameri
can politics. I might have got down
on all-fours and looked backward
between my legs at the moon for
two solid hours, and it would not
have done me any good. I ought
to have chartered another saloon,
and hired a man to stuff the ballots
box" w

Family Libraries.

Every family should be supplied with
books, and each household should, as far a.
their ability will allow, procure family
library. There is no estimating the value
of few we'll selected books. Children
should be induced to begin early to improve
their minds, and nothing draws them more
to study than good. sound, periodical litera-
ture, and we'll selected books-books adapt
ed to their age and progress and their educa-
tion. Money cannot be better expended.
Instead OF toys and perishable gifts, purchase
books for your children. Every few months
add something new to your library, and be
sure to preserve your old works. Let there
be In the house bookcase, shelves, some
place where the books and papers are de-
posted, have them carefully preserved, and
soon little handful will swell into armfnls,
and the midds Of the children will expand
with the increase Of the library, until agood
store will be found In the house, and much
knowledge will be gained by the growing
children.
Good books, taste for reading, will keep
the children at home and make them happy
In the family circle, whom otherwise they
will be strsying of hunting society, looking
for something to engage The mind and sasis-
~ the cravings Of . hungry intellect. Games
and worldly amusemenis are substituted for
boolss and intellectual culture, where there
Is no library It home, no food found for the
inquirlng mind. Let parents think Of these
things. Much, very much, depends on the
early training Of the child In regard to study
- well as to other things.

Poor Way to Make a Living.

Discussing the eagerness with which gov
ernment Offices and clerkships are sought for
the New York Observer has the following
remarks on question Of vital Importance to
parents and teachers, to-wit: How shall we
make our young men and women self-re-
specting and industrious:
Washington is besieged with applicants
for places In the Pension Office. Several
hundred additional clerkships having been
provided for. Numbers Of the applicants
are women. who are said to manifest intense
anxiety in regard to their success. 1t Is pit
liable to read the accounts of this struggle
for positions, which are By no means envis-
BILE, and at best precarious. Individual mis-
fortune frequently leads to sore extremities.
But the wholesale rush for Government Of
fees of the lowest class In Washington and
many other cities reveals most depressed
condition of affairs with large numbers.
Very few Of these persons would enter into
this contest for public places II they had
other resources. As mass, they must be
either unwilling or untitled to engage in any
one of hundreds Of occupations which are
constantly In need Of workers. In the i'm
| mediate vicinity of New York, men Of means
are compelled constantly to labor beyond
their strength, because they cannot obtain
assistance At high wages. Itmstters little as
TO what 10 wanted to be done, the employer
As rule finds 1t difficult to obtain those who
are able and willing to lott well. Emigrants
may be poured out upon our shores at the
rates of hundred thousand every month
and not one man or one family need suffer
for the want Of work and pay.
Whence this growing desire for the uncer
tain work and small pay of public offices
Doubles. IL IL one Of the results Of univer
sal education, training boys to write and
cipher, without preparing them for any def
mite sphere In which to earn . livelihood
They grow up with an acquired distaste fol
manual labor, and with an ambition to live
In some way which will crafty their notions
Of social standing. We are compelled ts
look In this direction for the cause Of thin
unnatural conflict for place in this land o.
supsrabundant opportunities.
Parents have great responsibility in thi.
matter. Children ought not to be left te
their own crude fancies In deciding upor
their life work. While they may no: safely
be compelled, they should be carefully in
6uenced and guided. Their natural abili
ties should be estimated, and they shsuld bs
encouraged and stimulated to persevsre In
some definite direction in which these maj
find employment. They can be taught thai
success 10 the result Of industry and patiencs
IN the pursuit of any honorable calling fol
which they are reasonably fitted, and they
can be taught TO dread the career Of one who
Ii ever on the lookout for temporary EN-
ploymsnt or chance to make living.
