GOOD LANGUAGE.
A Wonderful Help in the Thorough Educa-
ton of Child.

ton of a Child.
As soon as a child begins to lisp its
first broken sentence its education
should begin. Habits are formed which
will exist to a greater or less degree
throughout life.
Such being the case the conversation
of the older members of the family
should be carefully guarded, lest the
| little ones hear and learn ungrammatical
expressions and slang, which, sad to
say, is so rife among our young people
of the present day.
The servants with whom the chill
dren spend much of their time, should
be chosen with reference to this mat
ter.
/ A mother should feel it her duty to
point any grammatical mistakes made
by them, and insist upon their language
being correct, respectful, and devoid OF
slang at all time.
| 1t is exceedingly difficult to break
children of habits once formed, and care
in this direction will save much trouble
and annoyance.
One way to cultivate the use of Ian
guaBo, ana at JH0 odIIlO IlLhO W AO"A "a
the occupations and companions OF her
children is for the mother to encourage
the daily narration of what they have
seen, heard and enjoyed, and the telling
of their little experiences.
The study of pictures, moreover, in
which every child delights, may be used
as great provocation of language.
Children always love to look at pictures,
and can almost always be induced to
talk about them. This study teaches
them observation, and how to accurately
describe whatever they see.
/ When stories are read to children they
should be obliged to reproduce them,
using, as far as possible, the language
of the book. The memory is strength
ened in this way, habit of attention
formed, and the power of expression in
/ creased.
If such plans as these are systemat-
ically carried out they will prove won
derful help in the thorough education OF
child. The constant, careful teaching
and kind suggestions of parents will ac-
complish a work which can never be
performed by study, and in after years
such early home training will show
itself in ready command of language,
and an easy, graceful power of CONVEX
sation.-Old Homestead.

They Do Not Differ Materially from the
Old English Saws.
AS might be expected, very many Of
the proverbs here given are familiar in
English also, and in many cases in other
languages as well. For instance, nobody
will have much difficulty in supplying
the English prototypes of the following:
every dung-hill dog is bold when on
mis- own dung-hill rolled;" The moment
when the cat departs, give back to mice
their merry hearts, Let dogs that
sleep their slumbers keep" "No risk
has he run; no prize has he won:"
brothers in trade, or good, or i'll, are
seldom brothers in good-will;" ''Out of
sight; forgottenqu ite; Examine not the
horse'seye, which with your thanks alone
you buy:" Three things do no good till
they're knocked on the crown, wedge,
tether stake, and lubberly clown"
''Who makes most haste, time most doth
waste;' "a rolling stone no moss can
own;" ''The hap which l rue, is good
fortune to you He who to church the
nearest lies, viii furthest be from Para
dise;" Gone bird in hand is twice as
good as the two plumpest in the wood"
"Who loveth me, my dog love he;' "If
on two stools man will sit, ere long his
limbs the floor will hit" or "Rome's
building was a work not done between
sunrise and set of sun" 1t would be
easy to go on multiplying examples

Who Can Hest Be spared.

Young men, this is the first question

to know the probabilities of your getting
such a position? Inquire withinl What

1t Is Secured when Physical and Mental
Labor Are JudiciousIY Mingled.
Work either of the muscles or the
brain, is one of the conditions of human
happiness. Without it there can be no
wholesome enjoyment. The idle man
either seeks a substitute for the healthy
excitemens of labor in vicious indul-
gence, or degenerates into being only
a few degrees above the lower animals.
His soul and mind, in the one case, be-
come degraded and debased by false
uses; in the other, they rust within
him, and he is left to the governmental
the mere instincts which he possesses
in common with the brute.
The truest life-that most accordant
with our nature-is one in which phys
ical and mental labor are judiciously
mingled, alternating with such recrea-
tion as tends to refresh and renovate
both. Neither constant bodily toll nor
ipcessant study is advisable. When the
muscles are tired give them a recess
and do little headwork. When both
head and hand are weary, try amuse-
ment-light reading of a wholesome
Sind, romp with your chill
dren, if you have any, a social even
ing with a neighbor-any thing, in fact,
that may properly be termed innocent
relaxation. This is rational life. 1t is
a sort of life that may be warranted to
wear well, and it will not be clouded
with fits of the blues. He who lives it
will be younger in feeling at three
score than the fast man, whose career
has been a gallop after excitement, at
thirty-five.
If you belong to the working world,
and eat your bread in the sweat of your
brow, do not fancy that you have, there
fore, no opportunity to enrich your
mind. Labor, thank Heaven, is not so
ill-paid in this country that the tOiler
can not afford to throw down his tools
now and then and cultivate his intel

ABOUT STREET LIGHTS.
Facts Regarding the Origin of the Modern
Street Lamp.

Street Lamp.
By law of William and Mary, passed
in 1890, every householder who resided
in certain parishes, or in the city OF
Westminster, whose house adjoined OF
was near the street, from Michaelmas
unto our Lady's Day yearly, shall every
night set or hang out candles or lights
in lanthorns on the outside of the house
next the street, to enlighten the same
for the conveniency of passengers, from
time to time, as it shall grow dark, until
twelve of the clock in the night, upon
the pain to forfeit the sum of two shil-
Iings for every default" Arrange
ments, might, however, be made with
two or more justices of the peace fol-
the establishment of lamps in the street
at certain intervals.
This law seems to have prompted
similar legislation in the town of New
York, in 1897, in an order requiring
every seventh house to hang out lamp
all other American towns in this re-
spect by nearly sixty years.
The next town in order of time and
the first in New England. is Newport.
Here, however, street lamps were hung
out of shop windows and houses, and
this was due to private enterprise. In
1751 the town petitioned the General
Assembly of Rhode Island to pass law
for the protection of these lamps, as
wilful and malicious persons would
often break them.--N. E. Magazine.

NEW QUARANTINE STATION.
It is to be Turned Over TO the City
Within Three Weeks.

| Within Three WeekS
Mayor Schwarz, Clerk Of Council Re
barer, City Engineer VIM and the health
and cemetery committee Of council, CON
sisting Of DR.. r. B. Harris chairman, DR..
L. A. Balligant and William r. Reid went
down TO the quarantine station yesterday
morning on a visit Of inspection, and to
obtain general idea of the progress of the
work. They returned 10 the city in the
afternoon delighted with their trip and
thoroughly satisfied that Savannah Will
soon have the best quarantine station or
the South Atlantic coast.
DR.. Harris says the work at the new
quarantine station is rapidly nearing COM
pletion and in two or three weeks the sta
ton will be ready TO turn over to the city.
The apparatus for discharging ballast
is all in position and working nicely. A
double drum cylinder engine supplies the
power and permits the unloading Of two
vessels at one time. With the new appli-
ances a 400-ton vessel can be unloaded In
twenty-four hours. whereas it has fire.
quently taken from a week TO ten days
heretofore.
Vessel are now unloading at the wharves
without interruption. In fact, the new quar-
antine station is just about completed, aud
the repairs TO the old quarantine are nearly
completed, some WORK remaining to be done
npon the wharves The old quarantine sta
ton has been rebuilt entirely, and work is
now going on upon the last tramway.
Everything is very satisfactorily built at
the quarantine station. The residence of
quarantine officer is very solidly built of
the best material, and nothing short of
cyclone is expected to move it. 1t is already
complete with the exception OF little paint
ing.
The new wharves are built In the most
solid manner, and could hardly be stronger.
DR.. Harris, in referring to recent unlock
editor test Of their strength. said that while
the Norwegian bark Thos. s. Falok was
unloading ballast at the wharf she became
overbalanced and fell over broadside upon
one OF the piers. Big means of tackle she
was hoisted up, when she fell again upon the
pier. The heavy collision did no damage
whatever to the wharf, and hardly moved
IL out Of plumb
The grounds at quarantine are beautifully
laid of and present handsome appear
ance.
The new quarantine station is all that
could be desired, so DIR. Harris says, and he
is very enthusiastic over it. sit is the finest
quarantine station on the South Atlantic
coast, said the doctor. 1T is as good as
New York's. So far as facilities are con-
cerned, there will be nothing equal TO it on
the Atlantic coasts
Five vessels can now unload rapidly at
one time, three at the old station and two at
the new, and much valuable time will be
saved by this means. When the new sta
ton is ready to be turned over to the city,
which will be in about three weeks, DR..
Harris will invite the board of sanitary
to go down with him to in
spect the station.

THE RICE PROSPECTS.
The Heavy Rains Telling on the Over
ripe Grain.

The Heavy Rains Telling on the Over
ripe Grain.
The recent heavy rains have caused the
rice planters to look very blue, and they
now take a most gloomy view of their pros
poets. They had already come TO the con-
clusion that their losses would be heavy be-
fore the last rainy spell begun, and now
since the falling Of several additional inches
Of rain in the past week they are Respondent
indeed.
A rice planter who at the opening of the
season said that he calculated TO clear S1S,-
900 ON this seasons harvest, now informed
a buyer that he will be satisfied now If he
makes expenses.
Said the merchant: 1--WE are all at sea as
to the amount OF loss, but one thing is
certain, and that is, that the damage to the
rice crop from the continued rains is very
heavy. 1t is impossible to place any
estimate upon the amount Of
loss until the planters have
an opportunity to shift the stacks in the
field and thresh some of the damaged rice.
Rough rice does not show the damage, and
not until the rice is placed upon the market
can the percentage of loss be estimated.
1T is worthy OF note that all the rice
that has been marketed here so far is of re-
markably fine quality, averaging from
strictly good to prime, and very little of
the lower grades has appeared. The rice
marketed 30 fer is of the very best quality"
Referring TO the character of the damage
the merchant said: 1.-THE loss will be more
in the depreciation of the quality of the
rice than 10 the quantity. Tie rice in the
stacks is almost certain to mowburn, to
some extent at least. Something more than
half the crop has been harvested, and
that which has been left standing is
rapidly becoming overripe, which will
greatly injure the quality. The late rice
is now ripe for cutting and will become
overripe if allowed to stand. The recen
cool weather will have some good effect in
preventing rice from mowburn in the
stack.
"If we have few days of dry weather
now the planters will be able to dry out
their stacks, thresh the rice, and put on the
market, and in a weeks time a fair esti-
mate Of the losses can be made"
AT the opening of the season the prospects
OF the rice crop were very fiue, both as to
quantity and quality, and crop Of
CSC, 900 to 675.000 bushels was confidently
predicted. Rains began soon after the
opening of the harvest and have continued
almost ever since, dlssipating the planters
bright prospects. The reports of damage
to the crop has caused the prices of rice to
hold firm and there has been a slight adj
vance recently.
Reports from Carolina say that the dam
age to the rice crop there has been very
| great. The Louisiana rice crop was re-
| ported to be of the very best, both in yield
| and quality, but that section has expert
| enced some bad weather recently, which
| may effect the crop considerably.
