more take vacation iu he. home than a
merchant in his counting-room or prime
minister in his council chamber. Illus
bands, then, should occasionally try and
induce their wives (if they are good ones it
will not bc easily done) to take short
holiday away from home where they can
have the luxury Of not knowing what is
for dinner before they see it, and 30 to
sleep without listening with one ear for
the cry OF the children.
Without going SO far MS Lacordaire, who
in his letters to young people fixes the age
of seven as the period for weauing boy
from the delights Of homc life, we still
thiuk with him that time does come when
he should prosecute his studies and meet
the trials Of life away from home. The
shelter of the parental roof, if never quit
ted, becomes cncrvating. Boys are too
much at home who never meet their equals
or encounter rivals and hard struggles.
Some mothers believe that they are exhib-
iting the proper maternal feelings in
keeping their child;cn at homc when they
should send them forth into the world.
where alone they can be taught the virtue
of self-independonce. Nothing is better
for young man than to love his home;
but if by staying too much at home his ac-
tivity and enterprise arc checked, then ono
of the greatest Of lfe's blessings has be-
come cursc.-London Queen.

The Lauer Trial.

SEcCldl 10 tue blObc
OMAHA, March 13.-The state rested
this morning in the Lauer murder trial
after presenting a strong case. The facts
that the shooting occurred on a bright
moonlight night and that Mrs. Lauer,
when shot, was standing beside large
base-bUrner containing bright fire, were
brought out with great clearness; also the
fact that Lauer had been most cruel to his
wife. Strong circumstantial evidence
was also introduced, and it was
shown that Lauer's demeanOr
throughout the days succeeding the
tragedy was that of extreme indifference.
Several witnesses for the defense were eX-
amined to-day, introduced to disprove that
the room was sufficiently lighted for Lauer
to have distinguished his wife. The de-
Tense will probably occupy two days more.
The interest in the trial is intense. En-
trance to the large courtroom can not be
gained within quarter of an hour before
the court opens, owing TO the crowd of
spectators. of whom a large number are
ladies. Lauer maintains great indifference.
Neither the sObs of women nor the telling
evidence of man bothers him. 1t is not
known whether Lauer will be placed on the
stand or not.

Mysterious suicide.

Special to the Globe.
CURRIE, Mimi, March 13.-Charles
Grant Turner. musician and composer of
local fame, was found dead in bed at
filings hotel yesterday. At the coroner's
inquest. held last night, it appears that he
contemplated creating a sensation by COM
hitting suicide. He gave the key of his
trunk to a young lady, and also letter, in
which he told her what to do
with his effects and where to
bury him. The letter was TO
be opened in an hour after her arrival
home. 1t was, but as he had made similar
threats before she did not think he would
do so now. There is no doubt but he took
laudanum to create a sensation and that he
expected that she would come to his relief
before it was too late, but failed. He also
requested the hotel keeper to call him at
1870 a. m, who did SO, but did not notice
ais condition.
