Z. correspondent is informed tha: laun.
dered, not ~'laundried, Is the correct form
of the past tense and past participle of the

might be proper enough. But there is nc
such verb, Launder holds the field IA the

both the verb launder and the noun laun.

A MOTHERS MISTAKE.
The Serious Error Of stufins Young Heads.
The Doctors Severity.

The Serious Error Of stufiing Young Heads.
The Doctors Severity.
Our Elizabeth was young woman of many
theories One upon which she acted was this:
A baby, from the time he really sees things,
is observing constantly; why should he not
actually learn things that will be of use to
himi She felt that he had 50 much to learn
before he really could be said to know any
thing that she must guide his observation so
that no time would be lost. Before he was
years old he knew great many things; he
had talked distinctly and accurately from the
time he was IS months old, and he asked
questions which would have appalled, phil
osopher. At 20 months he knew literally .'his
letters from the red and white blocks he had
been taught to study. He knew the names
of his fathers chessmen and could put the
rocks and some Of the other pieces in their
proper places on the board. He knew all the
pictures in a large natural history; he had
fayorites among them, and could turn at will
to the ''ichneumon, the caterpillar hunter,
the "honey bee, worker, drone.n
About this time he looked up from his crib
as he was lying down for the night and said
to the nurse girl. Lizzie, / don't want to be
lost into q manin Poor little fellow, it
seemed almost as if he felt the weight Of in
creasing cares.
He was just % months old when he was
taken suddenly and alarmingly ILL., The doc
tor who came at the hasty summons said;
'sYour child is very III; nothing but absolute
quiet and good care viii bring him out all
right"

Electric RAILWAYS.

The Electric World says that, one year ago,
there were barely a score Of electric roads in
this country, and about another score we're
projected. aToday there are over fifty roads,
aud nearly seventy more are building or
under contract. There is still plenty Of room
for Improvement in the methods adopted, but
the roads work and are certainly good enough
to advertise the method as a success. Wemay
well apply to this the language that Professor
Bryce in his recent noble work on the "Amert-
can Commonwealth" uses about some Of our
political conditions; "The Americans surpass
ell other nations I'm their power Of making the
best Of bad conditions, getting the largest
results out of scanty materials or rough
methods.
"Many things in that country work better
than they ought to work or could work In
any other country" After all, there is no
better way of reaching perfection than
through experiment. and failure, and every
one Of the successes in electric railroading In
this country has been won by the very finest
qualities Of grit, self help and shrewdness.
Our motor engineers know something now
about electric roads, and have laid the foun-
dations Of an enormous industry by their
genius and perseverance.
