THE USE OF MONEY.


No father ought to rear his children in
utter ignorance of his own life, his aims
and resources. If he does they have
nothing by which they can gauge his
ability to grant them what they ask. If
they are given the money asked for, or
less they take all they can get and
spend all they take, whether it be five
dollars or a hundred. They have no
means of knowing the essential differ
ence to him, or whether there is any. 1t
is not enough to tell them, in general
way, things can not be afforded, for they
can see no difference whether father af
fords any thing or not, except that they
have to work little harder to geti it
If fathers took their children into
their confidence and explained to them
that a certain amount of money could
be spared them each year, or quarter or
week, as the case might be, and no
more, and they then economical on it
and CAME out with surplus, they would
learn more of the value of money, and
see something of the order and beauty
of economy; they might rise from econ
omy to sacrifices, and often prove help
full burden-sharers instead of burden
makers.
How different the son or daughter
feels towards the father when they
know the particular, definite burden he
is carrying and realize why the thing
can not be afforded. How it develops
the manliness or womanliness Of a
child when it feels fathers load
after being made personally acquainted
with it from fathers or mothers lips
not in fault-fnding, complaining way,
but in a straightforward, confidential
manner, that draws the child and parent
into very close relationship.
Making a confdant of child in this
way educates it to the comprehension of
relative money values and gives a
knowledge OF finance not otherwise OBJ
tainable. The child would thus be bet
ter prepared to meet either poverty,
competence or wealth. But above this
it would know its father and the family,
and be educated in social sympathies
and in executive power.
A man who instructs his wife and
children to be economical, giving them
no standard Of what economy is rela-
lively to his possessions, blunts percep-
ton, represses self-knowledge and self
control, and fails to find out the good
qualities and helpfulness of those who
ought to be, and would be if allowed,
his best and most cheerful helpers.
Fathers do not know what there is in
their children till they give them an
opportunity of knowing their financial
conditions,
If poverty is your lot, the children
should be taken into your confidence to
help you; if competence or wealth, that
you may help them to know the worth
of money by being made to make cer-
tain allowances supply their wants and
net them surplus. In either case they
learn the use of money--Farm, Field

RAN FOR HER LIFE.
How a Fat Woman Got Out of the Way of a
Cavalry Charge.

With their sabers flashing and their
norses going at gallop, tifty-four
cadets of the United States Military
Academy chased fear-stricken woman
from the parade ground the other even
ing, says a West Point dispatch to the
New York Times. They didn't mean to
do it, but they were trying to execute an
order given by their commanding officer,
and the woman, who was not good
runner and who evidently thought
cavalry never charged except in battle,
happened to be in the way. Her life was
spared, but she will never forget the
experience of this day; neither will her
husband. This is how it happened:
The mem bers of the first class of the
academy, all expert riders, gave an
exhibition of the cavalry company and
battalion school short time before sun
set on the parade ground, Captain
Dorst, of the Fourth Cavalry, the officer
in charge of cavalry instruction at the
academy, was in command, and just as
the cadets came charging down the
horses thoroughly warmed to their
work, they were ordered to wheel. In
an instant the line began to sweep to-
ward that portion Of the ground which
was occupied by several hundred people,
and general scattering ensued. A
short portly woman of middle age stood
with her husband, who was smoking a
cigar, placidly gazing at the column.
They were some distance from the other
spectators, and by the time they real
lied that the programme was not being
strictly followed all the others were out
of danger and watching them. The
moor woman didn't utter a word, but
she started bravely for the nearest
shelter. Fear and a desire to make
quick time left their imprint on her
face, and the artist who could have
caught her expression as she bore down
on the safety line would have won i'm
perishable fame. Fast as she could go,
the horses gained rapidly, and it really
looked at one moment as II she would
be run down. By a superhuman effort
she managed to get out of reach and
then fell against bystander, who con-
siderately supported her until she had
recovered her strength.
Her husband stood near where she
left him, and the cavalry swept past
him on either side, giving him the
biggest fright of his life. Altogether
it was very exciting episode, due to
a slight miscalculation of time, distance
and the running ability of unprofes-
sional spectators

THEY BEG FOR PRISON.
Siberian Exiles Prefer Stone Walls and Bars

to Savage Huts.
10 be condemned to reside at Vjlinsk,
in Siberia, is in itself a terrible punish
ment The climate is exceptionally
rigorous, the soil sandy and sterile.
Here and there, when the summer IS
favorable little barley can be grown
on or near some marshes. Small shrubs
and pines are the only vegetation, and
there is scarcely any population.
Villages worthy Of the name are scat
tered at distances of two or three hun
dred miles from each other. These
villages are connected with one another
at every ten miles or SO by jurtas, or
sleeping huts: but there is nothing
north of Vilinsk except real desert
stretching on to the ocean.
The only communication possible with
the outer world is by the Yakoutsk road,
and this is practicable in summer and
autumn to good riders. Even in the
best season the traveller may be drowned
in the marshes, or lose his way in the
midst of thick forests, or be devoured
by the bears that abound in this dis
triCt.
What has given historical Importance
to so inaccessible place is the con-
struction of a political prison on its
outskirts. This was built to receive
Polish prisoners captured during the in
surreCtiOn of 1868 When these Poles
had died, or had been removed to other
parts of Siberia, the celebrated Russian
author TcherniChevsky was incarCcrated
in this Jail for thirteen years, but he did
not die there. Internationally was ul-
timateIy sent elsewhere, and died at
Astrakhan in October. 1859.
Vilinsk is so small place that the po-
litical exiles, though not numerous,
have great difficulty in obtaining lodg-
ing with the Inhabitants. In 1889 there
were only seven exiles at Filinsk
Consequently the eXiles are sometimes
obliged to ask permission to live in the
prison.
The authorities, probably because it
is less troublesome and less expensive
prefer sending them to live in various
oulous- This is the name given to the
little villages inhabited by the abort
gines, which rarely consistof more than
ten huts. To live in an oulous the exile
must take with him provisions for at
least one year, as nothing whatever can
be obtained on the spot

bread, and white bread is an unknown

Yet the authorities seem tothink that

the security Of the State, and can even
at Vilinsk render themselves guilty of

A RUSSIAN TRAGEDY.
Mother and Five Daughters Put Thcm
selves to Death.

selves to Death.
Tne Moscow police were notified by n
woman who cooked for the Dobroverof
family that she had been unable to
enter the house, and that all day no one
had been seen coming out. The door of
the Dobroveroff apartment was accord
lngly broken open, and in the first room
entered, the dead body of woman
about sixty-four years old was found
stretched on the bed. 1t was the body
Of the mother Of the family, who had
been dead several days. On a table
near the bed stood the image Of saint.
The door leading into the next room
was closed, and all cracks were carefully
filled with small pieces ofcottons When
this door was broken open CHASTITY sight
was revealed. On the floor were
stretched five dead women; four had
laid themselves along the wall, placing
cushions under their heads, while the
fifth had thrown herself in the middle
of the room at the feet OF her sisters,
and lay with no cushion under her head
and with q handkerchief covering the
face.
They were the five daughters of the
woman in the first room, Their ages
ranged from twenty to thirtytwo years.
The youngest is said to have been very
beautiful, and there were evidences
that she was not as reconciled to her
fate as were her other four sisters. On
a trunk near by was note signed by
the five sisters 1t read: "We beg that
no one be accused of our death"
Four names were written in firm
and steady hand. The fifth betrayed
emotion. 1t was the name of Amelia,
the youngest sister. Two sealed letters
addressed to woman friends contained
thirty roubles to pay some small debts
owed by the unfortunate sisters. The
cause of death was apparent; In the
room was too heaters, in the bottom of
which still smoldered few pieces of
charcoal.
Another sorry sight was revealed in a
third room, where lay twenty dead
bodies-seventeen were cats. three dogs.
The pets had all been dosed with strych-
nine to prevent their falling in the
hands Of inconsiderate masters.
The pitiable story revealed at the in
quest was that the daughters when told
that their mothers disease was incur
able, placed forty roubles in the hands
of friend, whom they asked to attend
to the last rites of their beloved dead.
It would be too narrowing, they said, to
look after all the details themselves. 1t
was near the Easter season, and they
filled a basket with provisions, cakes
and eggs, and asked to have them dis
tributed among the poor.
From the time their mother died the
daughters touched no particle of food,
but, buying a quantity of brandy, they
induced the cook to drink herself tipsy,
and then allowed her to go to the the
ater with her lover. VIII le She was
away they deliberately prepared them
selves for death. Each was dressed in
white chemise and a black skirt.
The only reason given for their sui
eide was their abject misery. ry.-Berlin

BE Careful in Speech.

Carefulness and exactitude in speech
are sometimes characterized as aifecta'
ton and mere pedantry, but, say what
some people may, it is unquestlonably
the unfailing mark of culture No one
thoroughly and lovingly acquainted
with the literature of his language can
regard propriety in its use with con,
tempt. The purity and harmony and
rhythm of his native tongue are as pre-
cious to him as the perfect rendering and
Interpretation of music are to the
musician; and to the preservation OF,
the English language in its integrity
it should be the duty and the pleasure
of every individual lover Of 1t to con-
tribute. N. Y. Ledger.
