A NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Sta
Bile.
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
Senator Stansords $4,000 stable
is rapidly approaching completion,
and the contractors expect to have it
ready for the Senator'S horses and car
riages early next month. The stable
is a model one. For months past the
Senator's representative here has been
Overrun by cranks and inventors, with
all Sorts of new ideas for the comfort
or discomfort Of the horses. It has
been the hardest thing TO convince
these people that Senator Stanford is
not building dime museum for the
exhibition OF freaks or crank inven-
tions. Men who have an idea that
horses would be better if they slept
in beds have come to Senator STAN
ford, to ask him to put folding beds in
his horses stalls. One man had an
idea that the Senator wanted to buy
his patent hv-drlv1ng machine, and
erect it over each horse, to keep the
flies off Of him. Another crank wrote
a letter stating that it would be q
good idea to paper the ceiling with fly
paper, and the horses would not be
bothered. There are inventions and
improvements in the stable which are
great innovations. Tine editice Is an
imposing one on l. street. The walls
are twenty-five inches thick, being
built with large air chamber in the
center, so as to prevent the least bit
OF moisture or dampness from pen
etrating the walls and giving the
horses cold. There will be ten stalls,
all fitted upin hard wood, elaborately
carved and embellished. At each
trough is running water. The ar
rangment for letting the feed down
from the bins above is g. new inven-
tion, and agood one. One of thegreat
objections to having carriage house
near the stable proper is>the odor ab-
sorbeG. To obviate this, the carriages
are run into the stable and on to a
large elevator and carried up stairs
to sealed room, where they will be
free from odor or dirt. The stable is
decorated in hard wood, and is fin
ished in elegant style.

Mothers and Their Bows,

There are many responsibilities rest
ing upon a mother; they come in every
form and variety but Judging from
observation and experience the one
that presses near her heart and is
heaviest to be borne is how best to
raise her boys. Walking down the
street few mornings ago, | met q
friend. the mother of two little boys.
In speaking to ME of young man
she had just seen and admired she
said: II never see a nice, steady
young man but l wonder if my boys
will grow up to be good and clever"
There was O. depth of feeling in her
tone and look that sent me On my
way thinking--yes, thinking OF the
anxious hearts all over the world
with the same wonder in them as to
the future Of their boys. Parents
have so much more ambitlOnfor their
boys and girls; they dream and plan
for their future and mark out the
work or profession of their boys
when very young, and it is singular
thing, but is certainly true, that not
one out often ever fulfills his parents
desire, and hence SO many disappoint-
ments as to our children's success in
life. So we come back to the first
query, 'fHow shall we raise our boys?"
I have always been a close observer
and have watched different methods
with much interest. One mother will
tell you she believes there is nothing
like kindness; a boy must not be driy-
en-, you must appeal to his honor and
win his entire love and confidence and
you have gained the fight; and yet, us.
ually, you will find such boys indulged
and utterly spoiled and selfish, hay
ing their own way while young, and
utt erly unbearable when grown for
thev are always wiser than their par
ents; SO that rule doesn't work. Again
one will tell you there is nothing like
being strict with boy; you cannot
hold them in with too tight rein.
Often the result of that management
is to make q boy behave we'll before
his parents, and as soon as from under
their observation deceive them in ali
possible ways; so that rule doesn't
work always. Solomon thought he
had solved the problem when he said:
"Train up child in the way heshould
w, ttuu WAlcIl AlS IL cfA LAG WALL uOV AS-
part from it," The boys in Solo
mons days must have differed some
what from our boys, for we know
OF boys who have been carefully train
ed that have sadly departed from the
way they should go. Boys parents
have made it the study OF their lives
TO raise their children in thefear ofthe
Lord, and have as far as human judg-
ment goes done the very best they
knew how, and yet failed. It is q
hard question to Settle, and parents
must study the subject for themselves.
There might be q few hints thrown out
to inexperienced mothers by those
who have finished the work and can
look back and see their mistakes. The
trouble begins very early; the birth Of
q boy baby is usually hailed with an
extra amount Of delight, and the little
idol becomes il 8 very short while q

not the strength Of character to be
firm herself and breads to seq her idol
punished when she knows he deserves
it, and so she goes on bearing from
day to day with the faults that are
gaining in proportions until her life is
4 burden, and soon the boy gets
beyond her control and Is his
own master. There is SO much
depending on a mother. Firmness
at the very earliest age is the most es-
sential requisiteto good management;
then implicit Obedience comes next
The great trouble comes from over IN
diligence OF mothers; if you ever hear
a mother say to a child, II will tell

down that that boy is ruined, TOR ne
has q miserable weak mother that
feels land let's the child see) she
has to call in assistance to enforce
very feeble discipline. Boys cannot
stand too much kindness or indul-
gence; in that they differ from girls:
kindness mingled with firmness and
indulgence in moderation is the better
plan. The very best are those who
are raised in this way, and parents
will find a great deal OF their success
depends on making companions OF
their boys; don't let them fear the ap-
proach OF their parents, but welcome
them with open hearts. Where father
and mother gain the entire confidence
OF boy by treating him as a COM 4
panion, showing their readiness to en-
ter into all his pleasures and SYM
pathizing with his troubles, at the
same time firm in their discipline and
judicious in their indulgence, even e1.
ercising strict watch over him, they
may feel pretty we'll assured they are
raising a boy that will give them pleas
ure in after life.-AtlantaC Constitution.

The Hidden Luxury Of Affluence.

which she said her fathers mother
had brought from Europe when New

Her corset was of pink satin, edged
with lace, and covered over with en-
broidery in white silk, so delicate that
only q close inspection revealed its
artistic workmanship. About It. al
most to her throat, was a yelling az
lace, ending at the sides in little sleeve
let's of lace, each decked with a nink
bow OF silk, With childlike gratifica-
tion she perceived my surprise at and
admiration Of these beauties, and this
led her to invite me to examine her
treasures IN bureau drawers and clos

A Virginia Lieutenant Brave and
True Enough to Rescue q COL
Ored CO1nrade.

Zone young soldier, at least, has
made reputation during the Apache
campaign" said an army officer to a
reporter. II mean Second Llenuen-
ant Powhatan H. Clarke, ofthe Tenth
Cavalry, who has been twice publicly
complimented by General Miles recent
ly for gallant service. He deserves
credit not only for his bravery, but
for the manly way in which be has
performed unpleasant duty. He Is a
SON Of Powhatan Clarke, of Balti-
more, formerly from Virginia. You
can imagine how distasteful it is for
a young Virginian to be compelled to
serve with a colored regiment. In
nearly every instance such officers do
everything in their power to be as
signed to some other regiment. And,
in failing, they never cease to express
their dissatisfaction. Young Clarke,
who was graduated from West Point
on y two years ago, never made q
murmur, and has repeatedly shown
the stuff he is made Of.
You urer,ember his rescue of awound-
ed colored corporal was made the
subject OF 81 front page illustration of
Harper's Weekly, lately. That was
not exaggerated particle. The cor
poral had been wounded, and his COM
panlons had fallen back, leaving him
exposed to a terrible fire and unable
to move. Clarke rushed out, and,
Notwithstanding the bullets which
plowed the ground about him, al
though d stripping, shouldered his
wounded companion, though black,
and carried him beyond danger. This
is only one of the instances of his he

ut is astonishing" continued the
officer, chow many youngsters are
coming into the army possessed With
the same indomituble pluck and reck-
lessness. They seem to have no fear
OF danger, and are ready to do their
duty, no matter what the conse-
quences may be. It is such officers
that furnish an example to their men,
and of whom any country would be
proud. Young Clarke's recent exploits
would hav been rewarded with :, Vic
toria Cross it performed in the British
army. Give the youngsters credit for
their deeds, say /. I happen to know
that Lieutenant Clarke is as modest
as he is brave. His father did not
even know Of his rescue of the colored
Corporal until he saw the illustration
in Harpers, and even then he could
not induce the boy to talk of it. He
desired to turn it off as q simple mat.

Now that Tom and Joeare going to get

sigh went out to the barn in search OF

Mother Goose.
Lewiston (Me.) Journal.

Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
Mother Gooses maiden name was
Elizabeth Foster. She was born in
Char !estown, Mass. in 1855, and mar
ried Isaac Goose, in Boston, in 1868.
She was his second mate, and began
her maternal life g. step-mother to ten
children. She added six more to that
number. Think OF in! Sixteen gos-
lings to single goose! Is it any won
der that she poured out her feelings
in the celebrated lines:
There was an old woman who lived in a
shoe;
She had so many children she didn't know
what to do!'
Yet her family cares sat lightly upon
her and she survived Father Goose
many years. Still, she staid by her
nest and led and fed her flock until
they were able to swim by themselves.
One of her daughters married Thomas
Fleet, a printer by trade, with whom
she went to live and insisted on being
nurse to his children. and there she
lived and sang from morning until
night,
"Up stairs and down stairs,
And in my lady's chamber
Thomas Fleet sold songs and bal
lads at his printing office. and one <tfay
happy thought struck him. So,
while she sat in her armchair, or
shuffled about the house lost in sweet
dreams, he carefully wrote down what
he could Of her rhymes which fell from
her lips. Soon he had enough to make
q volume. These he now printed and
sold under the title of "Mother
Goose Melodies for children, r. Fleet,
Printer, Pudding lane, ITO. Price,
two coppers.' The Rev. J. M. Man
ming, d. d., formerly pastor OF the old
South Church, Boston, at a. festival
not many years since spoke very tru-
ly, to my mind, when he said: "Not
Homer, nor Shakespeare is so sure of
immortal fame as Mother Goose.
Considering the love in which her mel
odles are everywhere held, their free
dom from every thing which might
corrupt or mislead the lnfantile mind,
their practical wisdom, their shrewd
mystery and motive of human con-
duct, one is IN all soberness forced to
admit that her maine, is among the
brightest of the jewels which adorn
the brow OF the Old South. Let us
hope that the day is not far distant
when a memorial statue will be erect
ed to this venerable lady in one OF the
parks Or squares OF Boston.

Train tho Girls.

w oIudAS dCUIual.
When g. girl is ten years old, she
should be given household duties to
perform according to her size and
strength, for which u sum Of money
should be paid her weekly She
needs little pocket money, and the
knowledge how to spend it iudicious-
ly, which can so we'll be given by q
mother to her little girl. She should
be required to furnish a part OF her
wardrobe with this money. For in-
stance, if she gets ten cents a. week,
she should purchase all her stockings,
or all her gloves, as her mother may
decide; and doing this under the moth
er's supervision, she will soon learn to
trade with Judgment and economy. OF
course the mother will see to it that
the sum is sufficient to do this, and
yet leave trifle for the child to spend
as she p]eases. This Will suppl y a
healthy stimulus; it will give her a
proper ambition and pride in her la
Dor, and the ability to use money
properly. AS she grows older these
houshold duties should be increased
with the proportionate increase of
money paid for the performance OF
them. We know OF a lady who divid-
ed the wages of g. servant among her
three daughters. There is systemat-
ic arrangement OF their labor, which
is done with a thoroughness and
alacrity rarely found, either with q
hired girl, or a adaughter who feels that
she has to do it with nothing to
encourage or stimulate her in the
work.

Daisy Aprons.

These exceedingly pretty aprons are
made OF one breadth or dotted nnulI.
which has dots large enough for the
daisy centers, and a sufficient distance
apart to prevent the flowers from ap-
pearing crowded when the petals are
worked. Dots the size OF an old fash.
ioned rhree-cent piece and one inch
and a hall apart work very nicely, but
larger dots will look we'll if there is
more space between them. Make a
hem quarter Of a yard deep in one
end of the null, and around each dot
within it outline daisy petals with
blue wash silk. Work the dot for the
center with yellow silk in plain satin
stitch. Work two Or three daises on
a piece Of the null for small pocket,
and fasten it ON one side of the apron
with bow Of blue ribbon. Make q
hem one inch and O. half deep in the
top Of the apron and run in blue satin
ribbon for belt

ment I wish you'd bring it. They say
it's extra for rheumatism"
Four days later in the great farm
house kitchen Kitty stood at the long
table making pies. Aunt Sabrina,
stalked majestically back and forth,
arranging and rearranging the piles of
cups and plates in the old martial
way. Life was a battle for Aunt Sa-
brina, but she welded her weapons
with a brave, undaunted heart, and
this morning the ghost OF q smile play

in his easy chair almost forgot his

her bright, inspiring face. II
