How - ss,sct Reading l1ats.r - -.
Young FOlkA.
A very grave matter indeed has
become the quality Of the reading
furnished to our young people In
families where newspapers enter free
ly, even the casual reader who takes
them up and chances them over care
lessly can not fail to get D knowledge
of the world that II it does NO harm
does no good either. There are fam.
lilies, Indeed, where tho children are
allowed certain columns OF a single
paper only, but such prohibition il
often as dangerous as it's opposite. A
notion prevails In many minds that
the young must have reading furnished
to them where the subject has been
written down to their comprehension,
forgetting that all our growth comes
from struggle upward, and that It IL
really q great deal better after the
taste FOR reading has been once formed
to have the book or the subject just
one degree advanced beyond the
moments taste or fancy. Much Of the
formation of taste in this matter de-
wolves upon the mother. the aunt, the
elder sister; and If they see to it that
models of purity and wholesomeness
are presented and observed, rather
than those which are facilitating to
the mental fiber. and thus noxious, q
habit will be formed that In time will
instiuctively reject all that IL not dis
tinctively ennobling, and does not
feed the better portion of che
mind and nature. Puerilities are
much In vogue to-day; but their
influence is vicious because it is weak
ening, and in so much degrading.
Children can be trained to care
as much for one Of Parkman's
histories, with all It's tale of daring
and doing, as for any paper-covered
story Of cowboys adventures; as
much for tho Midsummer Nights
Dream, with it's wit and poetry and
PathOs and music, as for any tawlry
story In which boy and girl love has
parts as much for the sounding sem
tences OF the Old Testament and of
Osslan as for any senseiess Jingle;
and while they will derive now as
much pleasure from one as from the
other, and eventually more. the better
kind will give pleasure on q loftier
plane, and will cause the mind to
reach up instead Of down. 1t is high
time that the heads Of families looked
into this subject in some measure,
especially since the eager mind OF
childhood must be fed, and will de-
YOUR whatever comes In its way IL
nothing Is furnished it with design.
Such oversight is not so easy a task
that 1t can be despised as too trivial
TO be undertaken, for in the myriad of
publications for children and those
just escaping childhood'' it Is a serious
effort to keep az couraaat; and so doubt
ful Is the charaeter of many OF them,
II not as to intention, yet as injurious
quality without intention, that in the
supervision one has to become &C
quainted With q mass of rubbish in
order TO eliminate 1t, and finds 1t q
work OF time and thought not always
pleasurable. Harper Bazaar.

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL.
Pearls Of Thought.

Beware of silent dog and wet
rat.
The sting of reproach is the truth
of it.
Envy shoots at others aud wounds
herself.
Vows made in storms are forget
ten in calms.
Zeal without knowledge is like
fire without light.
Youth and white paper soon make
an impression.
A goose quill is more dangerous
than lions claw.
What we call time enough always
proves little enough.
History is not fable agreed upon
but truth disagreed upon.
A little seeing saves much look
ing; a little speaking saves much
talking. rt
He who waits to do a great good
at once will seldom do anything at
all.
Remember that impertiIence isn't
wit any more than insolence is
brilliancy. ,- .
Gratitude is the music of the
heart when the chords are moved
by kindness.
Fortunes are made by taking OPP
portunities; character is made by
making them. .a
Don't indulge i'm the luxury of
strong opinions in the presence of
your elders.
Ifyoung men will not believe in
themselves no man or woman can
believe in them.

days that have passed since the found
ing of the "eternal city" Of Rome;
yet LOCO, 900 days ago, Rome was Z
city of the future. One million days
ago, Xerxes, Miltiades and Leonidas
were yet unborn; the beginning of the
Christian era was farther in the future
than the Crusades are in the past
What, then, shall we say of IS, 600, 900
gears?
To take another examples: Suppose
one were to travel every day as far as
from here to the sun; that is to say, q
distance which an express train would
cover in about 175 years. Then. while
the journey to Neptune would take
about month, it would require 600
years to reach the star called Alpha
Centauri.
But awful as is the distance OF this
star, it is as nothing compared with
that of the other heavenly bodies.
Sirius, one of the nearest of the fixed
stars, is at least four times as far
away; while many, perhaps most, of
the stars visible to the naked eve are
quite four times as far away as Sirius.
And when we come to some of the
stars which only the telescope reveals.
we find that whereas light, travelling
at the rate of 100000 miles min
ute, comes to us from Alpha Centauri
in considerably less than four years,
it can not reach us from the telescope
stars in less than thousands, and hun
dreds of thousands, of years
Another illustration may be taken
from the motion of the heavenly bod
les. Look, for instance, at the bright
star Sirius. Year after year it ap-
pears the same; of the same size, the
same brightness, the same distance.
And SO, no doubt, it has appeared for
centuries past, and will continue to
appear for centuries to come. And
yet it is asserted that Sirius and the
earth are shooting apart-at times
over twenty miles a second. Let us
stop moment and see what this would
mean. In one minute, Sirius :recedes
as far as from New York to Winnipeg;
in sixteen minutes it travels distance
equal to the earth's circumference;
and in less than three hours q space
is covered equal to that between us
and the moon. Yet, to double its
present distance, it would have to 90
on thus receding for over 100, 600 years;
and to become invisible to the naked
eye. that speed of separation would
have to continue over LOCO, 900 years.

Feeding Poultry in Winter.

Feeding should be done in q manner
so as to avoid waste. Waste material
communicates the soil and renders the
yards filthy and unfit for the occu-
pancy of the fowls. On very cold days
the morning food should be given
warm, and in troughs or on clean
boards, the food unconsumed being re-
moved Immediately after the birds
have eaten. 1t is not advisable to feed
soft food more than once a day. unless
the food consists of chopped hay.
scalded and sprinkled with ground
grain. If whole grain is fed, it should
be scattered so that the hens must hunt
for the grains. which teaches them to
scratch during the entire day in ex-
pectation of finding more. AS we
stated before, the best results from
feeding are obtained when the food
consists of two meals day, in which
tender clover hay predominates,
which. if fed warm, will be eaten
readily, and provide a larger proper
ton of the several ingredients neces-
sary for egg production than will corn
or wheat, which are deficient in lime,
but provide warmth. All the benefit
to be derived from grain can be OBJ
tanned if it is given in the ground con-
dition with chopped clover. and tho
whole provides a balanced ration that
promotes laying, even in cold weather.
