induce their wives (if they are good ones it
will not be easily done) to take short
holiday away from home, where they cah
have the luxury of not knowing what is
for dinner before they see it, and go 70

the cry OF the children.
Without going SO far ns Lacordaire, who
in his lettors to young people 6xes the age
of seven as the period for weaning boy
from the delights Of houe. life, we still
think with him that time does come when
ho should prosecute his studies and meet
the trials of life away from home. The
shelter of the pare ntal roof, if never quit
ted, becomes cnervating. 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 "matcrua feelings" in
keeping their child:en at home when they
should send them forth into the world,
where alone they can be taught the virtue
of selfindependonce. 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 life's blessings has be-
come curse.-London Queen.

OHURCH ~ IS SESSMENTS.-l nave Ueen
Of late led to question more seriously than
ever tho justice and truth of the statistics
that prorate among our membership tho
amount of our contributions for benevolent
purposes. Somehow or other tho thing
never did seem to me to be exactly right
or true.
IF certain amount has been raised for
missions in an association having so many
members, some statistical mathematician
proceeds to lecture them because they have
given only so much "per member"
object in the first place because the
rtatemcu: is not true. They have not Civ
en- "pcr member" as large number have
not given at all.
object in the second place because it is
not true. Those who did tho giving gave
much larger sum than Is stated.
1 object in the third place, because it is
not TRUE. The careless or stiugy men,
bcrs who have not given a cent have credit
for giving as much as those who gave most
literally.
I think the effects oc this plan are most
injurious. 1t seems to mortify those who
give. 1t encC -rages those who do not give
to continue in their course of stinginess
These are complimented for what they have
not done, and there is cultivated in them
a disposition to claim full share of credit
for what others have done.
An additional objection might be found
in the fact that such statistics seem not to
recognize the duty of giving according to
ones means. 1t clearly puts every one on
the same plane. think the entire effect
of thi, thing is injurious. 1t docs not
serve to develop any liberality in tho nom
giving class, nor to encourage larger con-
tributions from the giving class, but the
rather to incline them to measure their gift
by common average.
If, indeed, every member had really Civ
en- the paltry sum pat as the average, or if
any needed amount should be made up by
such contribution actually given per
member, even then there would be large
class derelict in duty, because they would
not give 'as the lord has prospered them
God has not given money or talents or
opportunities to men on the plan of an
average per member" He has given to
one five talents, to another two, and to an
other one.
While am not in favor Of this 'long
division business in our statistics, am not
opposed to statistics altogether. l think
there are statistics that ought to be given
and which we do not get. Let US have
statistics that show how many of our men,
bers give and how many do not give. 1t
will require some pains to get at these fig
ures, but they ought to be obtained. Each
church ought to know not only how many
but who of its members give or do not give
for the cause of Christ. A Church should
not only know the facts in each case of not
giving, but express the sanctions of its
judgment on the case. The church of Je.
sus Christ is a workshop-not a hospital

A $3.50 PICK UP.
A Sneak Thief Secures a Neat Role
From a South Omaha Butcher.


An enterprising sneak thief made $3.50
IN very short time at the stock yards
yesterday afternoon. Fred Wasson, the
butcher at the yards, was running across
the street when his pocket book fell un-
noticed by him from his pocket. Shortly
afterwards a man was seen to pick up the
wallet and take his departure in the
direction of the city. Wasson boarded a
freight train intending to come in and
notify the police before the arrival of the
thiet. When nearing the city Wasson
observed the man who had picked up
his money hanging to the
steps on one of the cars.
He started down to catch him when the
fellow dropped to the ground and was
soon lost in the weeds in the vicinity of
the Paxton-Verling iron works. The
police were notified and officers Whalen
and Kurdish spent some time in looking
through the woods and weeds in the
vicinity, but found no trace of the thief.
Wasson is actually loser 500 in cash which
was in the wallet. There was also a
check for $94 drawn by George Garfield
on the First National bank, but the pay
ment of this has been stopped. Wasson
can furnish no accurate description of
the thief,

time. Towards that end the unionists should
at once identify themselves with the rest OF

those of negro minstrels. The boys were
boisterous enough and when carriages con-
