Training Children.


We believe every parent should keep
in mind first the physical, next the
moral, then the mental well-being OF
the child.
The best physical culture is proper
food, fresh air, and plenty Of sleep. AS
to neral culture, obedience should be
expected and received. Manliness,
self-respect, and truthfulness can be
taught before a child is 8 years old.
Promptness should be inculcated, neat
ness encouraged, bravery in bearing
bumps and bruises praised. A baby
can be taught to be generous, or selfish
as a pig. He can be a help and comfort
just as certainly as plague and tor
ment. AS truly as there is forest hid
den away in an acorn, so truly all the
virtues and vices of manhood are latent
in the little one. We shall appreciate
the child's SORROWS and hurts by remem-
boring they are our own tragedies in
miniature.
For the mental training provide inter-
esting occupation. 1t is as natural for
the mind to grow and TO develop as for
the body, and, unlike the latter, it can
find food for itself. Yet there come
times when mischie would be avoided
If the hands were provided with en-
ployment. Philosophers studying men
tai science, delight in watching the un-
folding of a child's mind ;-memory,
Judgment, reason, comparison, Undue
tive faculty are there as the bud holds
every petal OF the rose closely folded in
its keeping.
The reflex influence upon the char
acter of the adult, giving out so much
as it does, is deep and strong. Patience,
perseverance, temper are put to the
test. But for the love born with the
child many parent would give up in
the endeavor to guide him Alright, and
most Of the failures in successful train
ing come from too lax or too severe
discipline in early years.
Fathers and mothers make a great
mistake in that they do not think to en-
JOY their children while they are little.
They work 80 hard to care for and gov
ern them, their babvhood has fitted be-
fore they know it. IT'S like losing the
beauty of thought in the labor of trans
latiOn.
After all has been said about theories
and practice, the happiest. best children
and families are those where love is the
home atmosphere. When children are
welcome and the time of the parent is
not absorbed in business or gayety
when children are healthful, happy and
good, the browning gift of gifts is to be
the God-appointed guardian of their
early years and culture. Well did our
poet sing:
ga dreary place would be this earth,
Were there no little people in it,
The song of life would lose it's mirth,
Were there no children to begin it.

Winter Care of Cellars.

There is much too little ventilation of
cellars in our northern climate. They
are stored with vegetables of all kinds
from which toul odors are constantly
arising. This is bad, not only for the
health of families living above, but also
explains losses of butter, pork and other
meats kept in such places. The house
wife generally keeps milk and cream
out of the cellar during winter; but it is
always the season when pork, often as
nearly pure fat as the butter, IS put into
the barrel. All kinds of grease absorb
odors readily. A little charcoal put in
to bag and immersed under the brine
will tend to keep the pork from spoil
ing, but the only sure remedy is thorough
ventilation and careful watching of the
surface OF the brine, SO that the tirst ap-
pearance of souring may be checked.

A Novel Dice Trick.
From the Boston Globe.


Several young men were in South
End resort, last evening, shaking for
the drinks, when suddenly one of the
fellows, young man who is reckoned
as one of the coming lights of the politi-
cal arena, said ''Let me take that dice
box a minute"
1t was handed over to him, and, tax
ing out four of the five dice which were
in it, he handed them to the barkeeper.
the remaining dice on it, and taking his
hat from his head covered the box and
dice with it.
''Where is that dice now?" he asked
one of the men standing about.
"On top of the box, of course was
the reply; "that is, ii you haven't SHIFT
ed it since you put the hat down."
81 have not" said the young politi-
clan, and he lifted the hat again. and
sure enough, there sat the dice on the
box, just as it had been before.
He sat the hat down again, and took
his hands away from it, while he asked
the same question he had in the first
instance.
"on top of the box. of course, repeat
ed the man who had been questioned.
Certainly"
Would you bet that it is on the top
of the box ?''
"Of course I would"
''I'll bet you a dollar that it isn't
where you say it is.
Gall right, ard the men put up their
money.
The first man lifted the hat, and there
sat the dice as before ''What did l tell
you?" exclaimed the second. give
won. There is the dice on top of the
box"
''Hold on minute" exclaimed the
young politician. "When you come to
think it, wouldn't it be rather a diff
fcult task to set up g dice on the top of
dice box, when there is only a very
narrow edge to set it on? If you will
look carefully, you will see that dice is
resting on the bottom OF the box, instead
of the top. guess the money is mine,
Mr.. Stakeholder"
"That's So" exclaimed the other man
who had bet, sit is the bottom of the
box, isn't it ?"
Its very simple CATCH" said the
winner to the writer, but it's sure to
catch SO people out of every 100.

Disgusting and Disguised.
From the Kansas City Press

From the Kansas City Press.
To prevent mistakes in transmitting,
the grain commission men have a well
established cipher, in which words that
are not liable to be mistaken by the tel
egraph operator are used in place of the
quotation figures. Some of the Kansas
City firms use the cipher in correspond
ing with their out oi-town customers
and others do not, as the general run of
customers are not familiar with the CT
pher.
A Kansas man was in Kansas City q
short time ago and made large pur-
chase OF wheat with leading commits
sion house on a 4 per cent. margin. He
requested the firm to telegraph him the
quotations next day and clerk of the
firm was instructed to present him with
a cipher key, but neglected to do so.
The Kansas man now tells the story
of his speculation with great gusto.
The next morning he received tele-
gram:
"Opened disgust"
He was somewhat surprised, and
failed to make any sense out Of the
message. A little later he received an
other message:
Disguised"
He did not know what it meant, but
it was signed. So he telegraphed back
to the commission firm:
$50 am |"
A little later came telegram:
"Disgusting."
By this time he was getting mad, and
sent another message:
Il should say it was disgusting. What
do You mean?'
Before he had fairly got his answer
on the wires there came another mes
sage:
''Disheartened."
So was the Kansas man; so he waited
and did not answer. But when another
message came in Dishonest ne sent
back word:
81 won't dispute it, but I think you
are crazy also. Sell all my wheat at
once"
A little later he received message:
Sold just in time. Now disgor.e."
To say that the Kansas man was mad
would be putting it mildly. He took
the train that night for Kansas City to
see what 1t meant, and when ne found
out he treated all around
Disgust translated is 99a cents; dis
gusted, 995 cents; disgusting, 100 cents;
disheartened, 1909 cents; dishonest,
1909 cents; and disgorge, 99a cents.

THE DEMON WHO TURNS TO THE
LEFT

There are all kinds of people abroad in the
street,
OF every condition and class
Some jostle and crowd us whenever we meet,
And Others go peacefully past
But there's one we encounter wherever we stray,
OfWhom we'd be gladly bereft,
Oh, why doesn't Providence call him away?
The demon who turns to the left.
II e seems to take pleasure in lodging about
To him It's the highest delight
To fill your soul with a horrible doubt
If he'll turn to the left or the right,
In manner that battles your reason complete
With movement both subtle and def
He II manage to knock you clear off of your
feet
The demon who turns to the left.
There's the woman we all of US frequently
meet,
Whose parasors aimed at our eyes:
And the chumps Wsho persistently tramp on oul
feet,
They're all pretty hard TO get by.
But there's no other lunatic running around
Who so sadly of sense is bereft-
No other transgressor has ever been found
Like the demon who turns to the left

,yersey Cattle for Reef

In some recent experiments by the
Michigan Agricultural College, the sur.
prising result was found that Jersey
beef, though costing more per pound tc
fatten, was enough better, SO that foi
those who appreciate the difference be.
tween good beef and poor, it would pay
to fatten it. This is contrary to the
common impression among farmers
The small size of Jersey cattle has
turned attention from this breed for the
butcher, but it had in these expert
ments a smaller percentage of waste
meat than any other, and was especial
ly fire favored in all parts. These ex
periments have not been tried fal
enough yet to be conclusive Individu
al pecularities of form have much to dc
with the amount of waste in animals
and the flavor of neat Is, as every one
knows, greatly dependent upon what
the animal has been fed.

Feed for Breeding sows.

Sows that are to farroW in spring are
now carrying their young. Much of
the value of the litter depends on the
feeding of their dams. A diet of corn
fattens the SOW, but does not give the
material for producing vigorous. healthy
offspring. Skim-milk and fine wheaton
middlings make the best feed. Oatmeal
is also excellent, and it need not be sift-
ed. The SOW needs the husks of the oat
to keep her digestion good, and to pre-
vent laying on too much tat. But if
there Is plenty of bone and muscle
forming food given her the sow's in
crease Of flesh will do no harm. It is
constipated bowels, causing fever, that
makes fat breeding sows destroy their
young. If the pigs are ali right they
will quickly work down all superf1uous
fat in their dam.

Winter Flowing not Profitable.

In many places during the present
winter the weather has been open
enough to admit of winter blowing.
This practice is, however. scarcely ever
advisable. If the land be dry enough
to admit the blowing to be done. the
probability is that it is always deficient
in vegetable matter. It is idle, on the
other hand, to pillow undrained heavy
land, for after blowing it will absorb all
the more moisture and be all the longer
getting into condition for tillage in the
spring. Besides this delay, the freshly
plowed surface will lose more by vast
ing and blowing away of surface soil,
which is always finely pulverized by
frost

NEW YORK, May 24-The week closes with
depressed market on nearly all lines of south
ern vegetables and receipts have aggregated
very large. Potatoes have been in heavy supply
for so early in the season. The present low
prices. however, will tend to bring them into
general consumption and stop the importations
of foreign receipts of which have avera red
from IS, 900 to 10000 sacks weekly, and of which
there is still a large stock on hand; but as the
new will be preferred now and come into gen
eral use, it must result in very firm market
from this time. Wedo not think it advisable
therefore, TO hurry forward potatoes that are
not matured or OF a size to meet the demands
of the trade, as small are not wanted and retard
sale by checking consumption. Prime Rose
