Some HINTS to Mothers.

II you wish to cultivate a gossiping,
meddling, censorious spirit in your
children, be sure, when they come
home from church, visit, or any other
place where you do not accompany
them, to ply them with questions con-
corning what every body wore, how
every body looked, and what every
body said and did; and if you find any
thing in all this to censure, always do
it in their hearing. You may rest as
sured, If you pursue course OF this
kind, they will not return to you I'M
laden with intelligence; and, rather
than it should be uninteresting, they
win by degrees learn to embeliish in
such manner as shall not fail to call
forth remark and expressions of won
der from you. You will by this course
render the spirit of curiosity-which is
so early visible in children, and which,
If rightly directed, may be made the
instrument Of enriching and charging
their minds-a vehicle Of mischief,
whisa shall serve only to narrow them.

applicants were before him.
Crittcnden asked him what he could
do.
''I'll fight, run foot race. or write a
letter with any of these kids for the
job" answered the brigand's son.
Write letter." said Crittenden.
Jesse complied, and proved to write
better hand than any other applicant.

kill, as the boy and his mother were to
learn that the formers employer was

We must admit, says tho Popular
Science Monthly. that bird IS ava IN

No machine that we may hops to de-
wise, for the same weight Of machine
fuel and directing brain, is half 50
effective. And yet this machine, thus
perfected through infinite ages by u
ruthless process of natural selection
reaches its limit of weight at about
fifty pounds! | said, ''weight oil
machine, fuel and directing brain.
Here is another prodigioLs advantage
of the natural over tho artificial
machine. The flying animal is its own
engineer. The directing engineer IN
the former (the brain) is perhaps nm
ounce, in the latter it is one hundred
and fifty pounds. The limit OF the n.y.
ing animal is fifty pounds. The small
est possible weight of tlying-machine,
with its necessary fuel and engineer,
even without freight or passengers,
could not DO less than three or FOUR
hundred pounds.
Now. to complete the argument, put
these three indisputable facts together;
/. There is low limit OF weight,
certainly not much beyond fifty pounds,
beyond which it is impossible for AN
animal to fly. Nature has reached this
limit, and with her utmost effort has
failed TO pass it.

effective than we may hope 10 make;
therefore the limit Of the weight Of u
successful flying machine can not be
more than fifty pounds,

Shakespeare,s Jew.

It is In antonio personally that the
attitude of the medieval Christian
towards the jew is found. Tho unex-
planned melancholy OF AntOnto, his
fidelity in high-minded friendship, and
the dignity of his bearing under the
cruelty TO which he is exposed have
p obscured TO us the other side of his
I. character as the Rialto merchant We
zee more of BGssGB5o's ADio7io than of
ShyIoek's, the man who had interfered
with the usurer in every way and
personally maltreated him, and was as
I like to do the same again; the proud,
hardshearted and insulting magnifico
whom ShyIock hated for himself.
A,stoaio is every whit as heartless to
the Jew in the hour of his triumph as
ShyIoeE was to him when the balance
leaned the other way. His cruelty is
lacking only in the physical element; it
is not bloody, but it goes to the bono
and marrow of SdyIoeRs nature mono
the less. There is no sign that Shakes
peare saw any wrong in all this It
j was thus that the Christians looked
upon the Jews. and they thought such
treatment right Shakespeare differed

stance, in his delineation of the jew oil
Malta-in one point only: he was able
to take Shylock'S point of view, to
understand his motives, to assign
the reasons with which revenge
justified its own notions; in word, TO
represent Shglock'S humanity, The
speeches he puts into the jews mouth
are intense and eloquent expressions of
the rationale of that ''lodged hate" in
his bosom; they are true to fact and to
nature; ON our ears they come with over
whelming force, and it is impossible to
our thoughts that Shakespeare could
have written them without sympathy
for the wrongs that they set forth with
such fiery heat. But when from this it
is argued that Shakespeare, in writing
this play, made deliberate plea for
liberation, and carried it as far as the
necessities of his plot and the temper of
his times permitted, then it is needful
to remind ourselves of what Booth calls
''the baseness of Sbylock's nature"
Shakespeare did represent him as base,
with avarice, cunning and revenge for
the constituent elements of his charac-
ter; he did not hesitate to let exhibition
of these low qualities approach the
farcical, as he never would have done
had he thought of the jew as in any
sense heroic. ShyIoc5 had suffered i'm
suit and wrong, but there was nothing
in him individually to excite commiser-
alton. From beginning to end he shows
no noble quality. Modern sympathy
with him, apart from the pity that
tragedy necessarily stirs. is social sym
pathy, not personal; it is because
he is an outcast and belongs to
an outcast race, because every mans
hand is against him and against all his
people, that the audience ofthis century
perceives an injustice inherent in his
position itself, antecedent to, and indie
pendent of, any of his acts; and this in
justice is ignored in the play Atlantic
