The Mother at Home.

The mother is the heart of the
home. She it is who determines its
characteristics and diffuses through it
that subtle atmosphere which every
sensitive person can feel when intro
duced into the home circle, and from
which can quickly be inferred the rul-
ing spirit of the home. There can be
no doubt that the most effective train
ing for children is the training
of example. and this truth the
mother needs constantly to bear in
mind. How can the impatient,
querulous, fault-6nding mother teach
patience and kindness and good
temper? How can the vain
mother teach humility? How can
the mother. greatly absorbed In
keeping up with the pomps and van

OF . happy life? How can the selfish
mother teach generosity or kindness,

CHINESE SAILORS.

They Work for Fifty Cents . Day and
Consider Themselves Well Paid.
The Pacific Ocean is vitality differ
ent from the Atlantic, and Pacific
Ocean travel offers almost as many
new things as one of the countries of
Europe. When you step on the deck
of an Atlantic ship you are in England.
As soon as you land your baggage in

you are in China
The ships are manned entirely by
Cinnamon, with the exception of the
chief officers. and you drop into the
land of the Celestials the moment you
lose sight of San Francisco. The
Storage passengers are all Chinese.
Your food is cooked by Chinese cooks,
and your rooms are cared for by
white-gowned. Acknowledged men in
pigtails. The walters, the sailors and
the coal beavers are Cinnamon, and
the American or European officers do
not number dozen all told.
These Chinese sailors wear q dress

and consists as a rule of but two gar

gown and pair of pantaloons which
are as full as those of zouave and
which flap loosely about their yellow

Some of them wear shoes and some
of them do not. and the skin of their
feet is of the dark, rich bronze of their
faces. They have sailors caps which
fit closely down about their almond
eyes, and each one has big knife,
which he carries in case attached to

THE AMERICAN BRONCO.


Wonderful Picturesqueness Of the Hofse
Of the Western Plains.
Some years ago Idrove up to q stage
station in the San Pedro Valley in
Arizons, and the Mexican stock tender
had had hard time in rounding up his
stage stock. His herd pony had been
run until, as he stood there under the
shade of brush corral, covered with
foam and dust. with his belly drawn
up almost to his spine and gasping oc-
casionally as though it was his last. I
felt sure / should see him die before
l left the station. l was afterwards
told by the stage boss in a bluff, mat
ter-of-course way, in answer to my in
quiry, that he had pulled through all
right; you can't kill them critters;"
and now am perfectly positive that
you can not.
As a saddle animal simply. the
bronco has no superior. The ''lope y"
is term which should never be ap-
piled to that motion in any other breed
of horses. l have watched a herd of
cow-ponies being driven over the
prairie where the undulations of the
backs in the moving throng were as
regular and easy as the rise and fall
of the watery waves. The fox-trot,
which is the habitual gait of all plains
men, cowboys and Indians, is easily
cultivated in him, and his light, supple
frame accommodates itself naturally
to the motion.
This particular American horse lays
claim to another quality, which in my
estimation is not least, and that is his
wonderful picturesqueness. He graces
the western landscape, not because he
reminds US of the equine ideal, but be-
cause he comes of the soil, and has
borne the heat and burden and the
vicissitudes of all that pale of romance
which will cling about the Western
frontier. As we see him hitched to
the pillow or wagon he seems living
protest against utilitarianism; but, un-
like his red master, he will not go.
He has borne the Moor, the Span
ish conqueror, the red Indian, the
mountain-man, and the vaquero
through all the glories OF their ca
reers; but they will soon be gone, with
all their heritage of gallant deeds.
The pony must meekly enter the new
regime. He must wear the collar of
the new civilization and earn his oats
by the sweat of his flank. There are
no mo- worlds for him to conquer;
now he must till the ground.-Fred-
eric Remington, in Century.

A Precocious Criminal.

A nice little girl is one Celina Doise-

monster who has just appeared before

France, on the charge of deliberately
killing two children. She herself is
but child, not yet thirteen years of
age; but in the spring of last year she
was placed in service by her parents,
her duties being those of a nursemaid
She had two little boys to take charge
of aged respectively three years and
six months, and it seems, from the eve
idence given, that this youthful crimi-
nal, being ola lazy disposition, did not
like having to take care of them. So
as q means of relieving herself of her
little charges. she killed them both,
the elder one, Paul. by twisting q pill
low-case about his head and sitting
upon him till he ceased to breathe. the
younger one by stuffing a handkerchief
into his mouth and kneeling on his
chest. Both the children were thus
got rid of the same day. The murder

THE KIRMEsS.
The Popular Divert'sement Soon to be
Given in This City.

The Popular Divertsement Soon to be
Given in This City.
"The Kirmess," according to a re-
cent issue of the Nevada (Mo) Daily
Mail, was originally q religious iesti-
val, celebrated in Flanders, Belgium,
but is now exclusively secular enjoy
ment. The mo lern "Kirmess" is a
dance of nations" or, more properly
speaking, dance in the costumes and
after the fashions of the peasantry Of
the various European and Asiatic
countries.
For several years past the "Kirmess"
has been one of the most interesting
incidents of the society season. These
exhibitions have been given mainly
for the benefit of sectarian institu-
tions, and there is nothing in the
"Kirmess" to off, nd those who would
exclude dancing from the list of diver
sions permitted church members. The
"Kirmess" opens with march by the
dancers, led by the queen of the festi-
val, and each group has a separate
leader or matron acting as sort of
captain. After the march each group,
representing the various countries,
practices the dances peculiar to the
country.
THE STATESMAN learns that at an
early date the" Kirmess" will be given
in this city for the benefit of the Cum
berland Presbyterian church, Mrs.
Paul F. Thornton being the patroness
of the occasion. The entertainment
will be under the charge and direction
of a lady now visiting in this city,
who has had considerable experience
in training the dancersin other cities.
THE STATESMAN predicts general
success for the promoters of the en-
tertainment.

A HORRIBLE FIND.
A SAN MARCOS BALE OF COTTON
SUPPOSED TO CONTAIN A
DEAD MAN
A Searching Investigation Made by the
Officers and dead Body
Found.

Yesterday morning the sharp tingle
OF the telephone bell in central police
station startled McCashin, the ur-
bane day clerk.
1t was evident even from the sound
of the bell that communication of
more than usual importance was to be
transmitted, and Mr.. McCashin has
tened to the phone.
The message was from Mr.. Pray, the
agent at the International depot.
His voice was tremulous rs he spoke
the words:
"a bale of cotton from San Marcos
smells as if dead person was COM
pressed in it, and it has been set aside
at the compress to await an examina-
ton by the coroner and competent
officers"
Mr.. McCashin's face blanched as he
received the news, and he hurried to
notify his superiors.
Coroner Calhoun, Marshal Lucy and
Constable Davis were soon on their
way to the compress.
There they found Superintendent
Reed and his able assistants standing
off some distance from very ordinary
and commonplace bale of cotton.
"There's dead man in that bale"
feebly articulated one of the attend
ants, as he pointed to the bale.
Coroner Calhoun looked at Capt.
Lucy, and Capt. Lucy looked at Coro-
ner Calhoun, and neither never word
said.
Constable Davis suggested that the
bale be opened.
"Who will de itY" asked Coroner
Calhoun as he cast an appealing look
at Capt. Lucy.
Some discussion followed, during
which it was suggested that the UNI
dertakers had better be called in.
One gentleman feebly suggested that
az the bale was fearfully odoriferous,
that it be rolled in the river and moth
ing said about it.
1t was finally concluded, however,
to cut it open, and Officer Davis was
selected to do the job.
coroner Calhoun got out his note
book and the by ISLANDERS solemnly
sloJd by to await the result.
"From tho smell l judge he is a full
grown man." whispered one as the
ropes were severed.
"I'm satisfied terrible murder has
been committed" said another.
The bale was finally torn apart and
the expectant crowd with mouths
agape, beheld poor little dead mouse
which had been caught in the cotton
press at San Marcos.
Coroner Calhoun quietly stepped be-
hind box car and kicked
himself, Captain Lucy suddenly
remembered he had a man to meet,
and Constable Davis kindly offered
Superintendent Reed SIS if he would
60 off and kill himself
And thus ended the story of dead
man in a bale of cotton at the COM
press.
