A Child's Own MuSeum.

In Babyhood, for September, appears
n happy suggestion for the babies who
have begun to grow. 1t is headed
Treasure Boxes and Museums. The
writer is Margaret Andrews Allen.
She thus writes:
''When we walk with our children in
the country roads or on the seashore,
the walk is often changed from a pleas
ure to a toll by the number of treasures
they wish to bring home. think there
is way in which we can-at least in a
measure-avoid this difficulty, and in
crease rather than diminish the child's
pleasure.
''When the desire for accumulation
comes on-and it is pretty sure to at
tack each child, like measels or whoop-
ing-cough-provide some shelf or cup
board, or even box, which will do for
a beginning, if we have nothing better.
Tell the child he can have that for
keeping one of each kind of thing he
may bring home from his walks or find
in the yard or garden. It shall be all
his own--not to he meddled with by
other persons. 1t will be his little mu-
scum, like the larger ones he may have
seen. But the fact that it is all his own
will be its greatest charm, as all the
memories of our own childhood will
testify.
IF the child has little set of shelves
some slight classification might be at
tempted, after he has a number of
things. Nothing elaborate, but simply
what the child can do himself Our
skill or that of his older brother might
be called in to play now to print label
to be pasted on each shelf. We might
put for instance, Things of the Sea-
and Things of the Land, which is sure
ly classification within the compre-
tension of a child. Any other simple
classes might be made, according to
the child's desire. Some little children
in Central New York years ago could
have told you how much they enjoyed
just such shelves.
different kinds of grains and
grasses, seeds, insects, cocoons, stones,
shells, and many other things, as fancy
or opportunity may dictate, could form
a part of the collection. A child will
soon learn, if we take pains to guide
and assist his early efforts that each
specimen must be small and neatly
arranged to make the whole a success.
MY little boy has had a museum of
this kind for u year, and takes the
greatest pleasure in collecting for it
and arranging and rearranging his
specimens. l am often surprised to see
with what delight he seizes upon any
information about his treasures. He
no longer cares to bring into the house
unwieldly loads of plumber, but small
specimens for his museum satisfy him
entirely

Protecting the Chinese.

The persecution of the Chinese at Seattle
and other points in Washington Territory,
caused the President, the eth, to issue a
proclamation in which all parties participate
ing in such proceedings to dispense and
yield obedience to the duly constituted au-
thorities and the laws on or before II O. clock
noon of the Sth. At the same time ten
companies of the U. 8. troops were ordered
from Vancouver to Seattle to enforce the
proclamation if necessary. While all
was quiet at Seattle, the great ex-
element worked up against the Chinese,
caused fears of another outbreak. Re-
ports from Vancouver state that indict-
ments have teen found against thirty-two
citizens of Tacoma for participation in the
outl ages against the Chinese at that place,
and that the authorities feel confident of
proving the charges upon which the in
dictments are based. Among the indicted
are said to be the mayor and police Judge
OF the city and the editors q the two lead
ing newspapers.
