Sound Talk to Parents and Children.

There is new law prohibiting the
sale or gift of tobacco to persons under
Is, and it would be good plan to in
vestigate the sources where so many
small boys get tobacco. The city of
Oakland, Cal, has found the produc-
ton of hoodlums so alarming that the
ancient curfew still rung in some New
England villages at 9 o'clock in the
evening has been resumed there and
boys out after that hour or caught
smoking by the police are run in. The
Troy Times thinks this policy COM
mendable and says:-
1t would be a good thing even in the
virtuOus city of Troy if fewer youths
of tender age representing both sexes
were to be seen roaming about the
streets evenings. The children would
be benefited by little more restraint
imposed upon their movements and
associations, and community in gener-
al might profit from their seclusion.
1t is unquestionably true that many
boys and girls become demOralized
on them by casual acquaintance form
ed in the streets, especially after dark.
And yet young sons and daughters of
reputable parents may be counted by
hundreds in the thOrOughfares of every
city, at hours when they ought to be
at home and under the watchful eye of
domestic authority. 1t is impossible to
walk far through the principal streets
of Troy late in the evening, when the
weather is propitious, without witness
ing scenes of youthful recklessness and
sometimes of depravity which augur
ill for the morality of the growing gen
GRAFTON. AS to the practice of smok-
ing, it is an abominable one under all
circumstances, whatever the age of
those who indulge in it.

Hiram COnfesses Disappointment.
Montpelier Argus.

The result of the election last Tues
day cannot fail to be gratifying to dem
Ocrats so far as the state vote is con-
cerned, but we confess that it is not all
we had hoped for as to members of the
legislature. The republican majority
for the state ticket has been materially
reduced; but instead of having nearly
or quite doubled the number of mem
bers of the Legislature we had in 1884,
the gains have not more than offset the
losses, if they have that.

There could not have been doubt
in the minds of intelligent men about
the election of Legislature which
insures the reelection of Senator Ed
munds, so that one is surprised that
any attempt was made to compass his
defeat. The fact that nine-tenths of
the republican members of the legisla-
ture are in favor of Mr.. Edmunds shows
the extent of the failure of those who
proposed 70 defeat him.

The boy yesterday did not appear to show
any effects of the experiments of DR.. Val

DR.. Newell said yesterday that he had
not lost faith in the treatment, and has
not abandoned it by any means. He has
simply discontinued it for a few days TO
enable his boy to recover his natural
strength, which was diminished by several
accideuts nccurring within q few days,

The little fellow appeared slightly pale

was excellent. DR.. Newell says he is per-

sation of the heart which followed each
treatment was owing to the lads weak
ness.
When Harold grows stronger he will
probably continue the treatment. The

Happy Tenant Farmers.

A writer in Chambers Journal holds up
Lord Tollemache, of Peckforton Castle,
Cheshire, as landlord who has found
plan of dealing with his tenants that salts
fies his farmers, his laborers, and himself,
and which is working with encouraging re-
suits. This proprietor set out to establish
cottage farms upon his estate, for the pur-
pose of attaining three results: To satisfy
the natural and praisworthy desire of the
laborers to have a cow, and land to main
tain it; to train the rising generation of
laborers' children from infancy in dairying
the agricultural pursuits; and to secure a
supply of high-class laborers for his large
tenant farmers. All of these results are
in progress of accomplishment. The cot
tage- farms consist of house-inclosures- the
houses being built in pairs and fitted with
conveniences-of about half a rood of gar
den land each, with tract attached, in
cluding pasture, of about three acres, and
are leased at fixed rent of fifty dollars a
year, for twenty-one years. The laborers
thus housed are declared markedly superior
to those of their class in most countries.
f'Their wives are robust, their children are
unusually intelligent and the social atmos-
ph9re of the neighborhood is exhilarating.
In every house visited the furniture was
good and excellently cared for Neatness
and cleanliness were evidently habitual
And it is the proud boast of the neighbor-
hood that the >laborers of the Tollemache
estates are unexcelled in England" AS a
consequence of this system, while dread
and perplexity prevade the shires, the
happy dwellers upon Lord Tollemache's es-
tate are at peace. Every large farm is
occupied, and the obtaining of one is the
great object of those living outside"

c.omunumiatic Organ,

The Belgium lie Peaple is one of the
most astonishing journalistic productions of
modern times. 1t is the organ of the Brus-
sells Socialistic, and is managed on purely
Communistic principles. The editor, the
manager and the reporters who constitute
the staff of the little journal receive exactly
the same pay as the compositors. All per-
sons concerned whether workmen or jour
nalists, are paid at the rate of $1.03 per
day. The paper is sold for the fabulous
low sum of 2 centimes, five copies for two
cents. At first the circulation did not ex-
coed $4,000, and this occasioned loss; but
since the riots the sale has risen to $4,000
copies, and this means daily net profit of
s5. The repartition of the profits is
equally characteristic. Half is put aside
to form a reserve fund, a quarter is to be
spect in Socialistic propaganda and only
the remaining quarter is added to capital.
With this the capital advanced is to be re-
imbnrsed, and this small sum is also to sup
ply the interest; but, according to the rules
of the association, such interest shall never
exceed 3 per cent.
