management of servants, the housekeeping in its
various details are eminently practical. Much at
tention is given to the interesting topic of social
etiquette, and its illustrations of art neede-work
are acknowledged to be unequalled. It's literary
merit is of the highest excellence, and the unique
character of its humorous pictures has won for it
the name of the American Punch.

A Kind Voice.

There is no power of love so hard to
get and keep as kind voice. A kind
hand is deaf and dumb. 1t may be
rough in flesh and blood, yet do the
work of a soft heart and do it with
soft touch. But there is no one thing
that love so much needs as sweet
voice to tell what it means and feels;
and it is hard to get and keep it in the
right tone. One must start in youth
and be on the watch night and day,
at work and play, to get and keep
voice that shall speak at all times
the thoughts of kind heart. But this
is the time when sharp voice is apt tc
be got. You often hear boys and girls
say words at play with a sharp, quick
tone. as if it were the snap of a whip.
When one of them gets vexed, you will
hear a voice that sounds as if it were
made up of snarl, a whine and bark.
1t is often in mirth that one gets
voice or tone that is sharp, and sticks
to him through life, and stirs up ill-will
and grief, and falls like drop of gall
on the sweet joys of home. Watch il
day by day, as pearl of great price,
for it will be worth more to you in
days to come than the best pearl hid
in the sea. A kind voice is to the
heart what light is to the eye. 1t is a
light that sings as well as shines.
Train it to sweet tones now, and it will
keep in tone through life.-Elihu Bur-
TItt.

Classical Learning.

Prof. John Stuart Blackie, in the
University Quarterly, says: "Of the
disciplinary value of classical learning
SO much Wanted 1 make little account,
and that for four reasons. In the first
place, l can not but think that this
particular virtue has been very much
overstated by the interested class of
purely classical teachers In the Sec
ond place, it is certain that the dis
ciplinal value of language depends
much more on the teacher than on the
tongue. The mere learning of a
language is a very poor discipline when
it is impaired by man who has not a
firm historical, philosophical and phi
Illogical hold of it. In the third place,
for the important branch of education,
which consists in the accurate observa-
ton of facts, and a habit of just gen.
eralization, it is certain that the na-
tural sciences afford a discipline as
superior to any linguistic training as
mathematics is in the domain of nee
essary sequences. Lastly. have failed
see any purely disciplinary virtue in
Greek or Latin which is not found in
an equal degree in German and not .
few other well-organized spoken In.

County VS.. District Uniformity Of Text.
Books.

A few weeks since The COMMONWEALTH
called attention to the law enacted BY
our last legislature, permitting Q county
uniformity of textbooks, which article
We find attracted 90 much attention that
we again refer to the same subject.
Under the provisions of this law the
school Districts of any county may 1t the
annual District meeting, August 18th, or
at any subsequent annual meeting
thereafter signify their desire for uni-
formitv of textbooks throughout tho
schools of the county, and when such
desire has been expressed by majority.
of the Districts of q county Q committee
will be chosen and list of books recon-
mended.
The fact that our lawmakers who gave
tho subject careful consideration made
the law permissiUe and not compulsory,
should receive the careful attention Of
the voters of Districts before they vote
for county uniformity. Ever since the
organization of public school system in
Kansas, the District has formed the
unit in all matters pertaining to the
management of the school. Under the
provisions of law passed in 1879 the
school Districts throughout the state,
adopted series of books to be used for
five years. At the expiration of this
period, which was last year, many Dis
tricts changed books and introduced q
new series; while others readopted the
same books that had been in use for
eve years. As result of this independ.
ent action the Districts of county have
several different series of books.
For these Districts to pass from this
system to county uniformity, signifies .
heavy expense that must fall on rich
and poor alike. School book publishing
houses and their representatives would
enjoy such q change, but the people
must consider their own interest.
You may conceive of benefits to be
derived from county uniformity that
would justify this expense. Ifso, then
it is clearly your duty to vote for county
uniformity. But if on the other hand
you are not willing to take so important
a matter from your own District oficers
and place it in the hands of q commit
tee who may have NO financial respon-
sibility it will be we'll for you to vote
against change should the question
como up for consideration at your annual
District meeting.
The education OF our children, tho
management of our schools, tho best
methods of selecting and furnish
ing text books are questions
that are at best perplexing. There is q
spirit of unrest that pervades the entire
body polite in relation to the question
of public schools. We may even 60
further, and say this spirit of unrest
of dissatisfaction with things that are
seems to be one ofman's inherent p1in-
ciples.
"'Tis said that frail inconstant man
Is ne'er content with what he n;
Each thinks he can in others EcaA
A happiness more pure than his"
In considering this question of rnifor.
nifty and change of books, the Districts
should be guarded by reason rather than
influenced by spirit of unrest.-ao

oh, I said all sorts of nice things!
And what do you think he answers? He
says that in the first place he never
paints on satin, he has gone far beyond
that, and in the next place it would
take him week to do anything that he
would be willing to have shown at q
fair. and that he is very busy just now
on portrait of his father, and even if
he was not, would not have the patience
to paint::a square for a crazy-quilt. Did
you ever hear of anything SO discour-
teous, mother? and the worst of it is
that he told that Mr.. Marshall that he
considered it almost insulting to be
asked such favor, when he never
touches anything but canvas. and gets
three or four hundred dollars for even
a small study. Mr.. Marshall told Della,
and of course she came straight to me
with it,
Mrs. Stormouth did not speak for
a moment after her daughters TRADE
ended. Then she said, in a gentle
tone:
IF l remember Alright, dear. you
told me this morning, when l said
thought it little unkind of you not to
learn a few pieces of music such as
Lila liked, that you considered it al
most insulting to be asked to play such
trash, after the education you had re-
ceived. Don't you think that it looks
very much as if you were throwing
stones from glass house when you
accuse Will Beardsley of selfshness and
rudeness?'
Kate was silent. Her mothers gentle
words were evidently having their ef-
feet upon her.
"You and Will are both perfectly
right in cultivating your talents to the
utmost" continued Mrs. Stormouth,
''but in doing so do not forget that such
cultivation is not possible for all, and
that you owe it to those around you to
descend from your pede tails once in
awhile. We lose nothing by cultivating
the graces of Christian character, and
when we accuse others of being faulty
we must look within. and in nine cases
out of ten will find that we are throw
ing stones from glass house
Kate rose and left the room, and the
next time her mother saw her there
was smile on her face. She was COM
ing from the attic with half a dozen
pieces of dusty music in her hand.
II am going to move out of that
glass house this very evening"" she
said, brightly. "And if you see me
moving back at any time, please stop
me, mother"
That's my good little daughter"
said Mrs. StOrmouth, as she kissed her
tenderly. Il felt sure my little lecture
would do you good, dear"
The next time Kate saw Will Boards
ley she spoke to him as pleasantly as
ever, and did not allude to the crazy
quilt, which. after all. was not finished
in time for the county fair. But it lies
at the foot of Katie's bed, and she sell
dom uses it without thinking of that
glass house, out of which she moved SO
long ago.
81 wonder what made you lesrn
those pieces you used to dislike so
much. Kate?" said Lila, one day. ut
is very kind of you to play them, and /
en- Joy them so much"
Kate said nothing. She wanted no
one except her mother to know her lit
tie secret. Florence 3. HalLoWeU, tn ~.

How q Car Conductor Was Cured o.
Knocking DowE."

| How q Car Conductor Was Cured o,
Knocking Dowr."
A Sixth avenue car was lodging
falling spikes and oil drippings from
the az road above, or an uptown trip.
A weary load of uncomfortable pas
sengers was inside. Into the car at
Varick street came youth with light
blue eyes and a halo of mildness and
trustfulness all around him. He had a
Brooklyn (E. ID. air about him that
would seem to be easily imposed upon.
The conductor had not these character
istics, for the ways of the "knocker
down. were not unknown to his cellU-
loid soul. The youth found two or
three square inches of unOccupied at
n sphere in which to stow himself, and
while he stood by the side of Herald
reporter handed dime to the con-
ductor who was edging his way
through the crowd and playing fitful
melody with the register bell. He
briskly pocketed the dime and passed
on, apparently so absorbed with the
multitude of his cares that he forgot to
hand back the change.
The youth thought nothing of this at
first, but presently he began to yearn
for either his five cents or at least
thank you As block after block
was left in the rear, the youth saw that
he had been imposed upon. Then the
Long Island mind evinced itself and he
set about getting square" The car
had thinned out somewhat. and as he
spread himself over one corner, he took
out note book and pencil. He made
q very conspicuous object of it and at
tracted everybody's attention, that of
the conductor included. He took out
his watch and noted down the time.
Then came long gaze at the number
of the car and that went down on the
book. Another long gaze at the con-
ductor, who was becoming interested
in the proceedings, and the youth made
no secret of the fact that his number
was being placed upon the paper. The
street name upon lamp-post was
copied, the book closed with a slap and,
along with the pencil, was put away
Then he touched the arm of the con-
ductor and said:
"Are you about ready to give me my
changer
"Oh yes, yes. How much did you
give me?" The red flag of guilt flut-
tered in an unmistakable way from the
ramparts of his face.
Il gave You silver dollar" The
expression of guilelessness which accom-
panied this assertion would have done
Young Mems Christian Association
book-keeper in a savings bank very
proud. The conductor did not say
anything, but he thought faster than
Snowden can skate. He counted out
the ninety-five cents into the youths
hand, and wondered what right a fell
low had to look like flat unless he was
one.
The youth had gone as far as he
wanted to. and when he stepped off the
car there was an effervescent grin on
his placid and mild features.
Then the conductor went to the front
door and talked to the driver in . con-
versational style which. in all well-con-
Quoted family papers, is represented by
series of dashes-N Y. Herald.
