There are already established abroad
certain schools for mothers, in which the
duties of motherhood are taught, together
with all the t~echnicalities of work con-
nected with those duties and various of
the moralities of the situation, including
not only the proper training and treat
ment Of children in other thar physical
matters, but n training also of the mo-
thers themselves in tho difficult arts of
knowing how to refuse, to prohibit and
punish, without injuring either the moral
nature of the children or themselves.
Unless we are willing to let the state
take charge of the children eventually
and relieve the mothers of their dear
duties, as some social reformers, so called,
nave dared to suggest, there are plainly
things in which these mothers should
perfect themselves in order to do Justice
to the children and to the future careers
ofthose whose charge they have assumed.
Were such schools established among
ourselves, it would not be the material
part Of the work and duty, in which we
should advocate effort half so much as
the immaterial, that immaterial which,
under certain views, becomes the one
material.
All very well as it might be that the
mother should go to school, in order to
learn how to cut out the little frocks and
pinafores, make the little hannels, knit
h little socks, and that with the least
effort and vas conceivable; very well,
too, that she should be taught how to
give the bath, to keep the skin whole
some, to judge of the food requisite and

ment of the little sicknesses before the
physician can be summoned, and to
make herself a competent nurse for such
occasion; and indispensable MS it is also
that she should be informed as well as to
the food and sleep and exercise necessary
for herself in order TO perform her
WI part wholesomely-it is still more
absolutely necessary that she should be
taught also how to treat the child's pro-
pensities toward wrong doing, and to
encourage all its tendencies toward well
doing; what to do If the child's imagina-
ton runs to lying, how not to intimidate
into lying, how to foster in it generosity,
purity, truth, steadfastness, sweet tenn
per, love of humanity and alteration of
God.
And when the mother has learned how
to encourage the germ of those qualities
already existing, to create them possibly
In their absence, has learned how to
teach the child its rightful relations to
the universe, she will have learned also
how to repress and control and sweeten
her own temper, how to be transparent
and truthful as light herself, how to love
her race in trying TO perfect this young
member of it, how to be unselfish in the
daily practice of the art, and in giving
the child God to adore, will have found
God herself. -Harper's Bazaar.

THE OLD TIME PULPIT.
The Preacher Talked Plainly and Hearers
Made Known Their Sentiments

III AhtlE
The people did not come simply to be
taught, they came to be interested, to
be moved, to hear evildoers, ever if In
high places, denounced unsparingly.
With the gradual awakening Of mems
minds which came with the Sixteenth
century, the power of the pulpit increas-
ed amazingly. The nation wa divided
into two schools Of thought; the expo
nents of each side endeavored to per-
suade by means of the pulpit, while they
coerced by means of the stake and the
prison. "Have at them, Master Latimer,
have at themi' cried the people who
filled st. Paul's church yard to the
preacher, as they made a passage for
him to reach the cross. They had no
idea Of being listeners only-'passive
buckets to be poured into"-they in
tended to show which way their SYM
pathies went in the great question then
agitating England, to mark approval or
disapproval of sentiments delivered.
Thus, when shortly afterward Bishop
Bonner was preaching from the same
spot, some one in the crowd threw a
dagger at him as emphatic mark of dis
appreciation. 1t is easy to note In the
language OF the sermons of that time
how unrestrained the preacher was.
Latimer, when he was preaching, scat
tered denunciations, epithets, invective,
and sarcasm about him in n way which
n modern audience would not appre-
ciate. He attacks the judges for unfair
ness, for taking of brides; the citizens
of London for their selhshness, their
greedy extravaganza; their brother"
he cries, shall die in the streets of cold,
he b lie sick at their door, and perish
for hunger!" The ladies before him are
reproved for their vanity, laying out
their hair in tussocks and tufts and for
the general people he has such epithets
as ''you velvet coats, you upskips, you
hodipoles, you doddypecks."
The preachers of that time could, more
over, employ that dangerous weapon,
humor, which a modern preacher had
best avoid. The people her were used
to humor and understood 1t. Latimer
was preaching once on the want of in
terest shown in church services, and
blaming the clergy for 1t, he said: "a
neighbor met a gentlewoman of London,
and said: Mistress, whittier goest thouY
Marry said she, L am going to st.
Thomas Of Acres, to the rmo Icould
not sleep last night, and 1 am going now
thither; 1 never failed of good sleep
there" Sometimes his humor is holder
still. Preaching m day Of Elias stop
ping the rain, he suddenly stopped and
said: 81 think there be some Elias about
at this time which stoppeth the rain; we
have not had rain a good while. Tenn

Jack pemn.s, Quoted Him.

In a crowded car on Geary street
n rather understood man trod on q
big mans toe. He Immediately apollo
gized, but the big man would accept nc
excuse and grumbled and growled, and,
as the smaller man made no attempt tc
resent it, he gradually reused himself to
n furious heat.
"Who are you, sirrahY' he demanded,
shaking his fist in the other mans face;
"'who the devil are you that goes
around stamping your big feet on every
n within reach? Who are you"-
my name is Jack Dempsey" quietly
answered the other, looking up.
The big mans jaw fairly dropped and
he hastily left the car, mumbling apollo
getically. The small man was not the
noted fighter, but he scared the bully
just as much as IL he was.-San Fran.

William Sparks and Heman BraInard
were exchanging fish tales, when Heman
suggested that he should show his friend
how to catch black bass. The offer was
accepted. "Well, then" said Heman,
"before we go 1 will let you into the
secret. We must have at least two dozen
shingles of the ordinary length and about
four inches wide. The lines should be
about three and a half feet long, passed
through a hole in the center of the
shingle."
"What do you bait them within in
quired Billy.
Il was just going to tell you that.
Bait the hooks with live frogs, so that
they can swim about in the natural way.
Attach one frog to each hook, and when
the line, shingle, hook and frog are all
arranged just drop them overheard and
the big bass will go for the frogs"
The day for the fishing expedition ar
rived. The hooks were all baited and
put into the water together, and Heman
proposed that they should row away and
fish for perch awhile, and then row back
TO pull in the lines. The water was q
little rough, but the instructor said that
was just what the occasion demanded,
and he anticipated great sport a little
later.
Said he: LAS we row down you will
see shingles bobbing up and down, and
as you reach out after one it will disap-
pear, and then you will see it on top of
the water again, perhaps fifty feet away,
and so on until we get them"
They decided what to do with the bass
and hen rowed back. The shingles were
coming in sight again, and as Heman
pulled the oars Billy held his breath and
gazed forward.
he thought he saw a shingie dive, but
it was only his imagination, for there,
placidly and unconcernedly on each and
every single sat a baited frog.-New

The firsA steamer that ever crossed the
Atlantic was the Savannah. which sailed
from h southern city whose name she
bore, and reached Liverpool twenty-five
days later. This was in 1919. She de-
pended on her sails more thdh Oh her en-
gines, however, and when the wind was
favorable and all her canvas could be
spread her paddle wheels were hauled on
deck and folded up like an umbrella. 1t
can be imagined that she was very little
like al o steamer of the presentday,
and her success was so questionable that
when she returned to the United States
her engines were taken out of her and
she was converted into a sailing ship.
Nineteen years later, after other ex-
periments, it had been demonstrated
that e navigation was a practicable
thing, and a regular line of steamers was
established between England and Amer
lea One of these steamers was the
Great Western, which made seventy
voyages across the ocean. The quickest
of these voyages was accomplished in
twelve days and seven hours.
From that time to this there has beena
constant effort, stimulated by competi-
ton and by improvements in machinery,
to lessen the duration of the voyage. The
old side wheel, or paddle, steamers were
abandoned about fourteen years ago, and
the modern type of vessel is the screw
propeller.
The most recent steamers are ''twin
screws"-that is to say, instead of having
one propeller, each steamer has two, and
in this way it is expected that a higher
power can be utilized. The twin screws
are also an element of safety, since zach
screw is worked by a separate engine,
and should n engine be disabled the
other would have power enough to pro
pei the ship into port.
The distance from New York to Queens
town is about $500 miles, and up to 1880
the fastest passage was a little over seven
days, which was made by the Arizona.
Since then it has been successfully re-
duced by the Alaska. the City of Rome,
h Servia, the Oregon, the Umbria, the
Etruria and the City of Paris.-Youth's
Companion.

Nearly all tine railroads in India are
under the government and many of the
roads were built by the government,
guaranteeing . per cent. to the stock
holders on the condition that the profits
above 8 per cent. shall be equally divided
between the government and the stock
holders. Over others OF the roads tho
government has a sort of a control and
the result is that the tenure of place on
the railroad is much the same as that Of
the civil service of England. Men ex-
pect TO stay a lifetime when they enter
the railroad service and there Is no dan
ger of their discharge during good be-
havior. There are no strikes in India,
and n position on the railroad is consid-
cred very desirable by tho natives.
The laws are, on the account al the
government owning the roads, almost al
together in favor of tho road, and our
farmers would rise in indignation Mt some
of them. III al American has a COW
killed on the track Of n road running
through his farm tho railroad
pays well for it. In India the owner Of
cattle found trespassing on the railroad
is liable to n penalty Of 49, 80 for each AMI
NAL. Any man who drives any animal
across IN Indian railway except Mt GER
tain appointed times and places is liable
to n fine of SIT, and any man who enters
n car reserved for females can be fined
S35. The man who tries to get on n train
here after it is started will be fined 81,
and any one who attemps to defraud the
railway company in any manner is liable
TO n fine of ~Sl6.-Frank G. Carpenter.

Although the London men about town
are the best dressed in the world, there is
little or no alteration Of the male beauty
here. It. is one Of the most difficult
things imaginable to find out the Eng
lishmen who are considered to be on the
summit of fashion in the matter OF
clothes, unless one knows them person
ally. Portraits of society women of all
kinds and ranks are to be seen in pro.
fusion here, but never a portrait of a So
ciety man unless he happens to hold some
public Office Of prominence. English
swelldom has q great deal Of sameness
about It.
To begin with, the swell must have a
title or be a military man, and as all
titled Englishmen have something to do
with the army, the militia, the yeomanry
IT the volunteers, all swells of the first
water are military officers of some kind.
Before a young titled Englishman can be
qualified TO become a credit to his fam
lily and the British a~ristocracy he must
have been to Eton, to Oxford and have
held a commission in the Guards. 1t
doesn't matter how long he holds the
commission Then, again, the personal
appearance of the most admired men Of
this type is apt to be wanting in variety.
They run about six feet in height, have
broad shoulders, deep chests and COM
paratively mall waists, for which three
latter things the tailor may be partly re-
sponsible. They, almost without excep-
ton, shave all their face but the upper
lip, where they grow as big and curly a
mustache as possible. -Blakely Hal in

Lord wol.cle, on tn, German Army.

The German nation may be thankful

land, according to Gen. Lord Wolseley.
He writes: 81 take the German army as
the highest existing typo of the military
system and organization, which the
changes effected in armies by the French
revolution have led up to; and much as
/ admire that army as n soldier l admire
1t still more as a citizen. Great as 1t Is
for war, 1t is infinitely greater as a M,
tional school for the moral, mental and
physical training Of the people. Design
ed exclusively for war, it has become
the most important of peace institutions.
In 1t all Germans are trained to strength
and taught the first principles of personal
cleanliness and of health. There they
learn to be honest and manly, and are
taught the excellence of those virtues
which serve to make men good subjects
and law abiding citizens. 1t Is the school
Of the nation, in which deep love Of
fatherland is fostered and cherished, and
where all classes learn that there Is honor
in obedience and nobility in self sacri.

Ono of the earliest of the famous buc-
cancers was Capt Cromwell, who had
been a common sailor in New England.
In 1646 he was in command of three
fast sailing brigantines, filled with armed
men, and was driven into the harbor of
New Plymouth by a storm. Cromwell
and his men so6n afterwards came to
Boston, and while in this city presented
Governor Winthrop with an elegant Sc
dan chair, captured in one of his prizes.

relerraphlnr to n Moving rrnin.

The idea of ~telegraphing to moving
trains had its inception as early as 1858;
but of the many forms suggested all
were impracticable in that they involved
n mechanical contact between the train
and the stationary conductor. Obviously,
it is not feasible to make a circuit, either
through a sliding arm projecting from a
car OF by so modifying the track of q
railroad that its rails may be utilized as
electric conductors. But that this may
be done by induction there can be no
doubt, for its feasibility has been shown
in daily practice upon the lines of the
Lehigh Valley railroad for the past two
years. A moving train may now receive
messages passing along a neighboring
wire almost as readily as New York com
m~unicates with Philadelphia by ordinary
methods. Nor does the great speed of
the train interfere with successful COM
munication. If it could attain the veloc-
ity of n meteor, signals upon the wire
would fly across the intervening space,
inductively impressing themselves upon
h metal roofs of the cars with the
same certainty as if the cars were mo-
tionless upon n side track; and 1t is not
even essential that the train and the line
be separated by a clear air space, for
non-conducting or non-magnetic sub
stances may be ~interposed without i'm
peding transmission During the memoir
able blizzard of March, 1888, the capac-
ity of the system, in this particular, was
subjected to N instructive test on the
Lehigh road.-Charles L. Buckingham

An interesting anecdote is related in
the life of Lord John Lawrence in regard
to that most famous diamond, the Koh-
i-noor. When the precious gem was
committed to the care of Lord Lawrence
he stuffed it into his waistcoat pocket
and went on with business. Dinner time
arriving, he changed his clothes and
threw his waistcoat aside. Six weeks
later n message came that the queen de
sired the diamond to be sent home at
once. The matter had entirely escaped
the memory of the absent minded lord,
and he at first avowed that he had for
warded it long before. When the facts
CAM back to him he was badly fright
ened, but allowed no misgivings to APP
pear, and took the first opportunity to
slip away to his private ROOM.
Oncet there, with his heart in his mouth
he sent for his native servant and said to
him: Have you got n small box which
was in my waistcoat pocket some time
agoy" Yes, sahib," the man replied,
81 found 1t and put it in one of your
boxes" Bring it here" said the sahib.
Upon this the old servant went to a
broken down tin box and produced tho
little one from IT, open IT,, said Lord
Lawrence, land see what is inside" He
watched the man a~nxiously as fold after
fold of cloth was taken off, and great
was his relief when the brilliant gem
appeared. The servant seemed perfectly
unconscious of the immense treasure no
had had in his keeping. There is moth
ing here, sahib," he said, ''but a bit of
glass" Thus, through the indifference
of a native servant, what might have
been n serious loss was turned into a
happy recovery.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.
