The Training of Parents.l

So much has been said upon the
training Of children that it has
come to be an old story, and parents
are apt to listen with ill-concealed inn
patience to any suggestions on the
subject
That the children rule the house
hold ia the majority of American
houses to day can scarcely be denied.
In no other civilized nation is this
disagreeable feature of domestic life
so marked OF course, parents are TO
blame for allowing the reins of gov
eminent to slip from their grasp so
easily. The rebuke contained in a
short article which appeared in the
Century for May, entitled son the
Training of Parents" by Frank r.
Stockton, is a timely and wellmerited
one. 1t is TO be hoped that it will
show over-indulgent parents the error
Of their ways The writer treats his
subject in half playful, half sarcas-
tic manner, but beneath the dry hum
or may be detected the truth of the
lesson he seeks to convey-namely
that in the United States the children
have literally taken into their own
hands that authority which was once
the prerogative of the parent"
There is just one ray of comfort to
be found in the present state of affairs,
however, and that is expressed in Mr..
Stockton's closing words, which are as
follows: Zone Of the most important
results in the training under con
slderation is its influence upon the
trainer. When child has reduced its
parents to condition of docile obe-
dience, and sees them, day by day
and year by year, pursuing path of
cheerful sdbservlence, it can scarcely
fail to appreciate what will be suspect
ed of il when it shall itself have be-
come a parent SGch observation, if
accompanied by accordant reflection,
cannot fail make easier the rule of the
coming child and ia conclusion, we
would say to the children of the pres
ent day, train up parent in the way
he should go, and when you are OLD
you will know how TO 60 that way
! Yourself. -

baskets or crates Water eress is not
only a desirable relish to use with
meat, but with plain bread and butter.
1t requires no addition but salt. Con
sidering the ease with which it can be
grown, the permanency of the plan
tation, its continued productiveness
throughout the year, and its many
points of excellence, it seems strange
that ii does not receive more atten-
ton.
Every kitchen garden should con
tain variety of sweet herbs. The
list should comprise sage, sweet mar
joran, summer savory, and thyme.
They are all desirable for seasoning
pork, which is the meat chiefly used
by farmers. All these plants are
raised from seed which can be obtain
ed from any dealer The seed should
be sown in rows from ~ to Is inches
apart AS these herbs are chiefly used
during the winter, the leaves, with a
portion of the stalks, should be gather
ed before the appearance of frost,
dried in the shade, and carefully pack.
ed in paper bags.

Value of Small Frnits-

Many farmers spend their lives
without the comfort that is derived
from fruit, because their homes are
situated where the climate does not
admit of the production of apples,
pears, peaches, and the best varieties
of grapes-at least without consider
able protection.
1t does not seem to occur to many
of these persons that they can produce
excellent fruit where they are, and
that they can have their tables album
dainty supplied with it during the en-
tire year. Such, however, is the
case. Many of the small fruits do best
in places where apples, pears, and
peaches can not be raised. The finest
of all fruits, produced in any climate
is the strawberry. 1t will grow any
where within the boundaries Of the
country, but is produced with the least
trouble and expense in regions where
snow affords protection to the vines
during winter The strawberry will
flourish anywhere that grass does, and
a soil and climate that are suited to
grass are als9 adopted to the straw
berry. This most desirable OF all the
fruits can be raised as easily as any
Of the common field crops. With very
few exceptions, every year is "bear-
ing year" for the strawberry plant.
1t is necessary to wait but single
season to obtain a full crop from
plants. Vines set out this spring
will be in their prime next summer,
and they will produce in addition to a
crop of fine fruit sufficient number
of young plants to occupy five times
the area of land originally set out.
The cost of obtaining plants for the
first start is very small
Raspberries and blackberries are
raised almost as easily as strawberries,
and new plants are propogated very
readily, They will afford fresh fruit
from the tiae Strawberries commence
to fail till September.

Raising His Price.

During the carpet bag reign in Mis-

lature was made up of negroes unable
to write their own names, most of the
steals were characterized as public
improvements Whenever anything
of the sort was to be voted on a white
member would pass along the word,
accompanied with So bill. By and
by one of the colored Senators began
to smell rat, and he opened with:
Now you look heah | doaR go

800 of de money am divided up be-
tween you white men, but desiah to

Ex.Minister Forry's Character.
Brooklyn Eagle.

Of Ferry, the lately disposed French
Premier, correspondent writes: HE
always shook mems hands with
hearty grip; he could laugh long and
loud even when not amused; if con-
versation tagged he could light it up
suddenly with few cracking jokes,
but ne generally preferred to sit silent,
smoking penny cigars for he was not
rlchl, slipping absinthe, and taking
mental note of what was being said
around him. Now and then, especial
ly if a talker appealed to him, he
would nod with a grave closing of the
eyes, which is the supreme pohteness
in the art of listening. He never
squandered his knowledge in small
talk, SO that his public speeches always
took his most intimate friends aback.
Gambetta once said to him: You
are one of the most secretive Of chat
terboxes, the truth being that Ferry
used commonplace ideas in private in
tercourse, just as some men keep half
pennies for beggars."

HAWTHORNE is SAID to be more
widely read in the south than in any
other section; James and Howels are
favorites at the Hub, but no good I"
in New York; Western romances,
even of the Bret Harte school, are
read in the East, while Eastern
novels are in demand froca St. Louis
SO Chicago. Fifth avenue stories,
society sketches are popular with the
uncultivated natives Of the real west.
The west, too, affects the classic, and
above all, the two English authors
whose works find the readiest sale
among them are Thackeray and Dick
ems, with the former as a favorite.
Dickens and Thaekeray have more
readers to day in the west than in the
east.

A Good Word for Stevens.

London Truth.
No doubt there are many people in
this country, and still more in Ireland,
who can not forgive the man who dis
established the Irish church. But
confess am sorry for James Stephens.
He was always a straightforward, and
Qrom his own point of view an hon
orable man, and for many years he
mas been Grom any point of view
perfectly harmless. To impute to HIM
any connection with the dynamlters
is an obvious abSurdity. To say las
rost people do that Feniansm is
played out indeed, 90 a great deal
too far But this, al any rate, is be-
yond queston-poor James Stephens
is played out. He is a poor, broken.
invalid man. He might, therefore,
well have been left in peace in the
humble Fresc home which he had
made for himself. Neither France
nor England was in the slightest de
gree interested In worrying him. HIS
expulsion was an act of useless
cruelty.

special 10 the Gazette.
TENARKANA, TEN, Sept. 20. Returns
received as to the result of the election
on the county seat question in Bowie
yesterday, up to date show very close
race. All the precincts in except one.
Pine Hill, give TeXarkana seventy-cight
more than enough TO elect, but IL Is
feared that Sand Hin, which has about
$40 votes will offset this and possibly
defeat TeNarkana by about twenty votes
The people here, however, are vet quite
hopeful OF the result and do not propose
to give in until forced TO do so
in ease the official complete returns
run against them. This is the second
time this city has made the effort TO Sc.
cure the courthouse, the first time being
in September, 1880, when she came within
about 400 votes of securing the necessary
two-thirds. TcXarkana votes more than
half the number cast in the entire county,
pays more than half the taxes and fur.
nishes four-fifths of the litigations which
engage the courts. These facts, II would
seem, properly considered, should entitlc
her TO the courthouse, and II She has
failed this time there can be no question
that ut the next election she will be strong
enough TO make success certain.
