Caring for Little Children.
lFrom the New York Tribune


"We only charge FIVE cents day now
for taking care of little children; the
price used to be ten CENTS said Mre.
Walcott, of the Wayside Day Nursery,
to Tribune reporter. 80 yes, it's very
cheap indeed; and we don't expect to
get rich at it." added the motherly lady
with a hearty laugh, in which some of
the little ones joined without knowing
why they laughed. eve give them
luncheon of bread and milk, and at sup
per we give them molasses and bread;
sometimes crackers and milk, beef or
chicken soup, and sometimes eggs, as
they are getting cheap. The only dona-
tions we receive are from private
sources. The other day a gentleman
gave us some money and we had straw
berries for lunch. Saturday we are all
going to have ice-cream, and in q few
weeks, when we get money enough, we
are all going down to Coney Island" AS
she led the haxen-hsired girl into the
work-rOom to take her afternoon nap,
Mrs. Walcott said: "They generally
sleep an hour or two after lunch. OF
course that keeps them out of mischief,
but ordinarily they are well-behaved.
In day or two they become accustomed
to the place, and instead of crying to go
home they follow me all over the house,
just as if were their own mother.
Sometimes children are left here by
mothers who do not go out to work by
the day; they want to get rid of the noise
and confusion that child will naturally
make at home"

The Value of Humble Bees.
From an English Paper. I

Clover does not seed in New Zealand,
because there are no humble bees to
fertiLze the flowers. Various attempts
which have been made to introduce the

a consignment of humble-bees, which
were transported in torpid state in a
chilled room. If successful in acclima-

OIHER TOPICS.
There are subjects of importance which r
would gladly touch upon did space permit. T
limit myself to saying that while there ghonld
be the most rigid economy IN governmental
administration there should be no seIf-defeat-
ing parslmony either IN our domestic or for
elsn service: Official dishonesty should be
promptly and relentIessly punished. Our obIi-
CATIONS to the defenders of our country sbonId
never be forgotten. and liberal system of
pensions provided by the Republican party
should not be imperiled by adverse legislation.
The law ablishing labor bureau through
which the interests of labor can be placed in an
organized condition I regard as a salutary
measure. The eight-hour law should be en-
forced as rigidly as any other. We should in
crease our navy to degree enabling us TO
amply protect our coast ines, our commerce
and to give us force IN foreign waters which
shall be respectable and proper representa-
tive of country like our own.
The public lands belong to the people and
should not be alienated from them, but reserved
for free homes for all desiring to possess them.
and, finally. our present Indian policy should be
continued and improved upon as our experience
IN IFS administration shall from time to time
suggest.
l have the honor to subscribe myseif. sir.
your opeu1eIt servant, JONI A. LOGAN.
To the Hon. John B. Henderson. Chairman
of the Committee.

days ago that came out of the ground
in Pennsylvania a dirty, greenish-
brown tluid, with n smell that could
knock an OK down. The oil retiners
took it and put it through lot Of
chemical processes that | don't know
anything about, aua after taking out a
large percentage of Kerosene, good
share of naphtha, considerable benzine,
a cart-load or so of tar, and a number
OF other things with names longer than
the alphabet, left us this mass of nice
clean wax known as parafline. There
isn't any taste to it, and no more smell
than there is to a china plate. We
will take this lump, cut it up, and melt
in boilers. This piece will weigh 200
pounds. We add thirty pounds of
cheap sugar and flavor il with vanilla,
wintergreen, peppermint, or any es-
sential oil. Then we turn it out on q
marble table and cut 1t into all sorts of
shapes with dies. After it is wrapped
in oiled tissue paper and packed in
boxes it is ready for the market. You
can imagine that somebody is chewing
gum in this country when tell you
that lump like this one will make l0,-
900 penny cakes, and we use one up
every week. There are dozens OF man
ufacturers using almost as much Of the
wax as we do.

arrival in Buenos Ayres fortune seems
to have smiled upon his every cndeayor
and although his former record is wei
known he is treated as reputable per,
son and is regarded as one 6 the me 81
successful men of the place.
Almost Immediately on his arrival in
Buenos Ayros Winslow succeeded in
borrowing money sufficient to establish
his newspaper, the Daily Herald, and
the enterprise has been Il success from
the start, aud is now published in
French and Spanish as well as in
English. Winslow's religious homlies
in the Sunday edition of the Herald are
said 10 be as good reading as the lati.
tude OF Buenos Ayres affords He hos
become the owner of handsome block
Of bull lings, drives the best pair OF
horses in Buonos Ayres, which, by tho
way, is city of half 4 million people,
aud lives i'll handsome house on the
outskirts. He has a telephone from
his business office to his residence, and
does most Of his editing at home in his
elegant library.
Soon after his arrival in Blenos
Ayres Winslow succeeded in marrying
u young woman and went to England
on his wedding trip, but remained
their but 4 short time for fear of an
application from the Uaited States for
his extradition. Since he has been in
Buenos Ayres he has been to Europe
twice on important missions for the
government. He has the rntrte at the
presidents house, where he even takes
precedence of the presidents min.
lsterial advisers, whG are obliged to
wait until his business is done before
they 90 in to do theirs. 1t is believed
that he is 50 powerful that he would
have no difficulty in breaking down any
person who should undertake to q
pose or oppose him, and no one cares
to do it. He is n member ofthe princi-
pie club of the place and is personally
intimate Tith the American minister.
Winslow has eXperienc. only one re-
buff since his arrival ia BIenos Ayres,
which was his expulsion from a church
on account of the disclosure of his base
treatment to his first wife, whom he
abandoned to penury in Massachusetts
1t is said that he has not manifested
any disposition TO pay OFF the amounts
realized out of his fJrLeries in Boston
His credit in Bucnos Ayres is said to
be exceedingly good, and prominent
merchants are always ready to lend
him all the money that he wants.
