Err on the Side of Kindness.

People grow tender as they grow
old. Young mothers are apt to be too
severe in their ideas Of discipline,
while grandmothers are proverbially
too iudnlgent i; yet Of the two ex-
tremes the latter IS probably the least
harmful. It is the fashion nowadays
to treat infants according to iron-clad
rules laid down by the medical frater.
nifty in regard to feeding, dressing, b.
thing, etc. Now it is not disputed
that these rules are excellent general
guides, but We do insist that they do
not admit Of a cast iron application in
the case of any child. Each mother
must apply the rules according to her
own judgment, consulting somewhat
the child's comfort and instincts. She
should permit what she knows is real
ly harmful to him simply to quiet his
cIamor , but on the contrary, there
may be times and circumstances when
it would be far worse to let a child cry
an hour or two than to break all the
rules in the catalogue. Children recov
rr from the effects of grief more readi
ly than older people ; but crying does
hurt them, no matter what the auto
Gratis cay. If young mother il, in
doubt as to what course to pursue, it
is always better err on the side of kind
ness than on the side of sever;ty.-The
Housckeeper.

From Far-nh .Ianan.

A student from Japan entered Western
Maryland College, this city, last Monday, and
will remain three years. Her name is Miss
H. 7. Herati, and she is the daughter OF a
wealthy Japanese physician in Toxic. She
was sent to Western Maryland College by
Rev. Frederick c. Klein, graduate of the
institution, but for the past few years mis-
sionary at Yokohama. Miss Herati had been
at the mission at Yokohama several years
before coming to this country, and when she
completes her education will return to the
same place to aid Mr.. Klein in his missionary
work After she graduated at the Normal
School in Toxic she heard that Mr.. Klein
wanted japanese teacher. She went to the
mission and accepted the position, and be-
came converted to the Christian religion. She
also obtained fair knowledge of the English
language.
Miss Herati arrived in this country several
weeks ago, at San Francisco, and on her way
east stopped at several of the large cities.
She is delighted with the country and people,
and thinks she will be contented here. Like
the Japanese in general, she is small IN
stature, with pleasing form and figure. Her
wardrobe is extensive, and includes dresses
such as are worn in her native country as we'll
as some of the European style. Her native
dresses are embroidered in silk by hand, in
designs of fish, birds, trees and other devices.
She does not take to the European styles
much, and will dress in japanese fashion at
the college.
For embracing Christianity and joining the
mission her family cast her off, and gave then:
selves no concern about her when she started
for America.

been injured some by the drouth.

HARVEST Home SERVICES.

At Grace Lutheran Church, this city, there
were harvest home services last Sunday. The
altar and pulpit were decorated with fruits,
flowers, sheaves of wheat, oats and rye, and
eornstalk seventeen feet high. Rev. II.
W. Kuhns, the pastor, preached sermon
appropriate to the occasion, and the choir
rendered excellent music.
At the service DIR. Kuhns took up a collec.
ton for the benefit of the Lutheran churches
at Charleston, South Carolina. Of the five
Lutheran churches there, four were damaged
by the recent earthquake. When Grace
Church here was burned in 1888, without
solicitation the Wentworth Street Lutheran
Church, at Charleston, sent SIS to help the
congregation to rebuild. Wentworth Street
Church was damaged to the extent of about
50, 900, and Grace Church will reciprocate,
and will send little aid to the other churches
besides.
Dr. Kuhns preached harvest home sermon
at st. Johns Church (Leister's) in the after
noon. Tomorrow afternoon at q o'clock
be will deliver a harvest home sermon at
St. Benjamin's Krider'sl Church.

NEW WINDSOR ITEMS,
| Naturalization.

The last ofthe summer guests have departed
to their several homes, and although while
here, they took in and enjoyed many OF
the dances and other amusements, they have
missed the greatest performance Of the sea-
son, the elimination of mirth and revelry. :.
On Friday night last, the colored bellies and
beaux assembled in Norris pavilion to par
ticipate in grand promenade party which
by way of novelty and grotesqueness ecllpsed
all other shows ever held here. At $50 the
Fairview Band, arrayed in full regimental
costume, marched in and struck up the open
ing march with more power than brilliance.
This promenade was one of the features OF
the evening, as the "high stepping would
have done credit to cake walk. The mem
bers of the band deserve great credit for the
vigorous style in which they rendered their
selections, each man seeming to feel that the
entire responsibility rested on his own Shout
ders. Dancing was not INDUCED in, as it was
Objectionable to some of the church members,
but instead a nondescript performance was
gone through with, which was laughable IN
the extreme. The scene beggars description,
being comparable to nothing ever seen,
but through the whole evening, although
wound up to the highest pitch of excitement,
good order prevailed and no unseemly distur-
bance could be complained Of Quite num-
Der ofladies enjoyed the fun after having paid
the ten cent admission fee. The sidewalks
were also thronged with spectators ofthe scene.
At lf-past ten refreshments were served
and the performance closed at reasonably
early hour. The managers deserve great
credit for the manner in which every thing
passed off, and the participants certainly en-
loved themselves to the fullest extent of their
ability.
The repairs and decorations of the Presby.
terrain Church are now completed, and it will
be re. dedicated on Sunday next. DIR. Jos.
7. Smith, of Baltimore, will preach the dedi-
catory sermon. This is now one of the pref
test and most comfortable churches in the
county, having been extensively repaired, re-
painted and frescoed, a new bell has been
hung, new windows put in and the old I'M
comfortable benches have been replaced by
comfortable modern seats. All are invited
to attend the dedicatory and all other meet,
ings, and although the usual collection will
be taken up, no begging need be feared as the
repairs have been paid for.

to such employment as best suits his taste and
circumstances, and is therefore more profta-
BILE, without governmental interference and
direction. With this condition protective
tariff is sure to interfere. 1t is in its very
nature an interference with the natural laws
of production, and must as inevitably work
evil as would an interference with the course
of the winds and clouds. 1t stimulates pro-
duction under unfavorable circumstances; and
such production must always involve waste
of energy and means, and can, therefore, not
benefit a community. LUX.
