Don't Decejre Children.
IArthur's Home Magazipe.l


Nothing can be greater mistake than
to consider young people destitute of I'M
Outstanding; their understanding should
rather be appealed to and consulted. Do
we not all remember how, when young,
we were imposed upon? how our elders
sought sometimes to put us off; how they
gave Us evasive answers or explanations;
how they told US some plausible story as
an excuse or as a reason? And do we not
remember that even in our youth and sim
plicity we were quite capable of seeing
through their man9uvers? Do we not re-
member how, when any one endeavored to
keep US in ignorance of some proceeding
of which we were made accidentally cog
infant. we could divine very correctly the
real motive for sending US out of the way
with some false excuse? Now, in case of
this kind, which comes within the pale of
parental authority, the will Of the parent
alone ought to be sufficient to control the
child. But there should be no sitting of
truth and no relaxation of duty. If, as
often will happen, it is not expedient or
proper for children to know a particular
fact or incident they should be told SO
with frankness and kindness, but at the
same time with frmness. We are apt to
overlook the intelligence of these little
people and address ourselves to their stat
ure. We forget mind. which is invisible,
in the presence of matter, which is seen.
The treatment of children must always,
for their own sakes, differ much from that
of fulI-grown men and women: our man
ner of addressing them must also be differ
emit: but there does not seem to be any rea-
son why we should not give them full
credit for the amount of intelligence they
do possess; and we may every day see
children with more discrimination, great
er good sense, and better regulated moral
department than many whose tall figure
or ripe age has invested them with the
consequence of men and momen.

wo.nans.ood i'm E7ome and state


Mrs. Mary L. Eastman, at Woman's
congress There is nothing in the state
which we do not put into it. If the word
womanhood means anything the state
as well as the home needs it, and if the
state is the larger home it needs it all
the more. Take the wife out of the
home and you remove an element which
can not be restored until you bring her
back. What poor, lonesome house
keeping nation this of ours has been
and is. There is something wanting.
Study the question, and if you can find
some reserve force that will help it, don't
hesitate to urge it forward. We will
have no ideal government until it is
perfect type of the ideal home. Men
want women to pledge themselves to
all sorts of things before they viii
open the door, even so much as q crack,
but women must be let in unpledged in
The condition as that in which the ghost
Of Hamlet's father went to his long ac-
count. The sooner women are let in the
sooner they will be able to do good
work. They are bound to get in sooner
or later. It is only question of time.
It will be simply just on the solidity Of
the human family. We are not unique
or great only to the extent that our
grandfathers saw a principle but did not
have the courage to carry it out. With
women enjoying the same round Of priv
ieges as are accorded to men, a govern
ment will be q reflex Of both. In the
sacred name of home, of which the state
should be an expression, withhold no
element which can contribute to the
success and good of the state.

"OId HiIdey."
lSt Nicholas. l

You must know that Old WiIdey was a
wild duck, that four years ago, came one
fine day in December to the mill-pond,
among the other ducks, and swan with
them until they got almost to the place
where grandfather fed them, then it was
afraid to come any nearer, and would fly
away again: and thus it happened that
every night, when he called the tame ducks
to the shore to feed them, Old Wildey came
little nearer and little nearer, till o~e
night she came to the grassy bank and
looked at the other ducks eating up the
grains of Indian corn that grandfather fed
them.
But, as she was wild duck and did not
kHow that Indian corn was fit to eat, she
just stood looking at them eating it.
Well, one night she walked up among
the other ducks, and turned her head to
one side, and looked at the grams of corn
with one eye; then she turned her head to
the other side and looked at the corn with
the other eye; then she took single grain
up in her bill, and held it a moment, and
swallowed it; then she carefully picked up
two or three more grains, and ate them
and flew away. This delighted Us grand
children very much. The next night she
seemed to have found out that cora was as
good for wild ducks as it was for tame
ones; so she walked up among the other
ducks, and when grandfather threw them
down the corn she ate it up as fast as she
could. In the course of few weeks, when
grandfather called the ducks, she would
be the first one that would come to be fed,
and before spring came she would eat out
of his hand. So 1t went on until the early
part of May, when the leaves were out and
the meadows were dotted over with golden
dandelion, and blue in spots with tufts of
violets. Then we all noticed that Old
Wildey would occasionally leave the other
flock and fly away out of sight. and after q
while return again, until one day, about
the middle of May, she disappeared and
we saw her no more. However, about the
first of November, flock of seven wild
ducks we're seen on the lake, and when the
tame ducks came home to be fed, one of
the wild ducks left the flock and came up
and ate corn with them. 1t was Old
Wildey! And so it has been ever since.
About the middle of May, when the ice be-
gins to break up ia the Northern lakes. Old
Wildey leavs her winter home to go North;
and every autumn. about the first of Novem'
Der. she returns to her old home IN Penn
sylvanis. Each year, grandfather and
grandmother and the aunt5 and grandchil
dren, wonder if Old Wilde3 will come back
! This time, when Aunt Hannah came il
and told grandfather that Old Wildey h2d
come, he put aside his newspaper, and
went to the feed room for some corn, and
called out, "Come along home my, duckie,'
when Wildey just flew out Of the water ant
ate the corn out of his hand. Although Sh,
had been away for six months, she had no
I forgotten the voics that called her. or the
hand that had fed her during the winter.

ENGLAND ALARMED.

The Marquis of Lorne, son-in-law OF
Queen Victoria, and late Governor
General of Canada, before departing
from his decapitated position, pub
fishes in the Contemporary Review,
an article on Canadian Home Rule, "
in which he shows fear that Canada
may secede from the mother country
and set up for herself as did the old
folks in l776. The marquis declares
that "should the provincial feeling be
developed stronger than the feeling OF
loyalty to the general government, the
American civil war may be repeated
in Canada. The equality of strength
among the various members of the
confederation would be the best guar
antee against this" The conclusion
drawn is that 1.-The experience of the
American States show that while
purely local matters may be left to the
control of local assemblies, it is all
important that no province should be
organized in such strength as to be
able to formulate policy leading to a
conflict with the rest of the country"

NORTH MINNESOTA.

The st. Paul Chamber of Commerce
does not need to consider Col. New
toms communication upon the i'm
provement of the Fox and Wisconsin
rivers, one-half as much as it does the
building of one or two railroads up in
the north part of the state, in which
st. Paul shall own a controlling inter-
est. Something of this kind will be
demanded by that city long before it
can be had. A great city depending
upon the easy conscience of money
making railroads to always play tunes
pleasing to the prosperity of its bust
ness, is preaching doctrine that will
produce no converts. The rollicking
idea of st. Paul tapping roads built by
others, coming and going to other
places, in the interest of those places,
for the purpose of holding st. Paul's
business, is ice so thin it will hold no
one. st. Paul forcing roads belonging
to others, to choke off trade from out
siders and giving it to Der, can have
no long duration. The great North
Minnesota will be IN the hands of the
railroad owners, and they will most
probably make use of their property to
the best advantage. Roads can COM
pell country to do business where
they say, and the North now begins to
want to know what lines of transporta-
ton, and what wholesale city or cities
it must prepare to make love to. The
North of Minnesota is fast becoming of
age, and is fast making preparations to
strike out for the point where it can do
the best, whether it shall be in the
state or outside of it. Supporting
home institutions is pretty to talk
about, but it will not be done little
farther on, unless there are dollars and
cents in it to the advantage of those
who do the patronizing.

A MINNESOTA FARM,

We have known for long time,
that there were quite a number of
large farms in Minnesota as we'll as in
Dakota, and that they would after a
while begin to show up what was be-
ing done upon them. Our papers are
all fond of telling us of the large guam
titles of wheat sent to market in their
localities, but often forget to mention
the extent of what is raised upon any
one farm. The following, from the
Mooohead News, let's us know what
there is in that direction:
e. G. Sprague, the great Clay coun-
ty bonanza farmer, adjoining the city
of Moorhead on the south, has thresh-
ed $4,000 bushels Of wheat up to the
present date, and is only partially
through. His average has been 261s
bushels per acre. How is this for the
Red River Valley, aye?

COMING TO TIME.

The Minneapolis Journal, which has
been curling its under lip at the repub-
lican party all the fall, because it was
not pleased with the proceedings of
the late Legislature last winter, final
ly becoming rational, gives the follow
ing good advice:
1.-THE Republicans of Minneapolis
and Henepin county, whatever griev-
ance they have against Gov. Hubbard
for his course in the senatorial election
last winter, if they have any regard
for party should cast aside ali personal
feelings and give him the best support
in their power this fall. It is possible
that every vote will be needed to in
sure him fair majority. The efforts
of the active republicans, during the
days of the canyass that remain,
should be directed to the getting out
of full vote. That is all that is re-
quired. Minnesota is safely and
strongly republican, and the interest
of every man in the party requires that
it should be kept so. We cannot af-
ford to allow the opposition to gain
even a temporary advantage by our
DEFAULT
