TEACHING DISOBEDIENCE.

Parents who are very eXact1ng IN
regard to the Difference paid to their
authority sometimes directly teach a
disregard of the commands of the
other parent.
not do that!''
The masculine sense of superiority
is irritated; and the father proceeds
Immediately to violate the wife's
mandate, in order to demonstrate
his own independence, or the mother
does that which the husband has for
hidden, and perhaps in SO doing
teaches the child lesson of deceit as
we'll as of disobedience.
Friends and neighbors often unin-
tentionally inculcate rebellion against
parental authority.
MY mamma does not allow me to
eat between meals" said child, to
whom an apple had been offered.
"What nonsense'' exclaimed the
giver. what harm would an apple
do you? If you were my child,
would let you eat apples whenever
you wanted
Up to this time the boy had not
questioned his mothers wisdom, but
now he felt unjustly treated, and be-
gan surreptitiously to violate this
judicious regulation, and the spirit of
disobedience grew by exercise, until
the once docile child became rebel
lious and difficult of control.
Parents and friends often cooper
ate in teaching a disregard of the
parents commands The child goes
to pay visit and is commanded to
come home at FIVE O'Clock, but in re-
atty does not come till bed time, and
at once makes her excuse thus: Mrs.
B. coaxed me to stay; she said she
knew you would not care, and if you
wanted to whip any one, you could
whip her, In truth mother had no
objection to her daughters remain
ing with her friend, and so she laughs
and the affair is passed lightly by.
She, however, is not so well pleased
when the same reasoning is used I'M
der circumstances where she had
great objections to her commands
being disregarded; but how was the
girl to judge when such a practice
would be eXcusable and when not !?
The immediate question of remaining
or going home was not the one for
mother and her friend to consider,
but the inviolability of the parents
command. The illustrations above
given are but suggestions of the man
fold WAYS in which the lesson of dis
obedience may be taught, and to the
thoughtful mind they will also be
suggestions in the art of teaching

SHROPSHIRE SHEEP.

In nothing perhaps are the effects
of good feeding, care and breeding
more plainly seen than in the Shrop-
shire sheep. A writer for the Western
Agriculturist gives history of the
origin and development of this breed
from which we take few facts Orig
inally these sheep were quite small,
black, brown or spotted faced and
wearing horns, 1.-THE wethers weigh
ing from II lb. to II Id. per quarter,
and the ewes 9 lb. to II Id. after be-
ing fed with clover and turnips The
f1eeces weighed h." This it ap-
pears was the foundation of the
Shropshire. But it contains other
blood. 1t was crossed with the
Leicester, Cotswold, and Short
wooded Southdown, making a very
uncertain mixture; but finally it set
tied down to a fixed type, and was
favorably noticed at the meeting of
the Royal Agricultural Society as far
back as 1853. This result was
achieved by first crossing and then
by careful selection and breeding.
The weight has been doubled and the
fleece more than trebled The breed
is now popular all over England, and
none stands better in this country
for the production of both mutton
and wool The pedigrees of rams
have long been carefully kept in
herd book.

ELEVATED ROAD FOR BOSTON.

The West End Street Railway COM
pany of Boston, which last winter
secured from the Legislature the
right to build elevated roads in Bos-
ton, has made public the routes over
which it proposes to run. The road
will start at Dudley street in RoX
bury, and run through the centre of
the city and across the Charles river
to Sullivan square in Charlestown, a
distance of about five miles. The
cars will be run by electricity, and
the whole system will be separate
from the street service, instead of
having the street roads on the ele
waited structure by means of connect
ing inclined planes, as was originally
intended. The suburban lines will
be concentrated at the termini of its
IL" road and passengers given a
transfer. Branches to South Boston
and also to Park sqaare are a con-
centratio of the Cambridge, Brigh-
ton, and Brooklyn lines and are pro-
vided for in the plan with loops to
the railroad stations. The line goes
partly through private property in
the very centre of the city, and while
landing passengers within a minutes
walk of Washington street, does not
touch the narrowest part of that
thoroughfare, and thus avoids one
of the chief objections. The plan is
generally commended as being the
best under the circumstances, and
will give Boston a rapid transit from
the centre to the suburbs, for which
the people have so long clamored.
The company do not say when work
will begin, but by the legislative
charter they have about year and
half more leeway before FORGETTING
the charter

Gottingen, Germany, Sept. 10, '9(


The 81 st Congress which adjourned
last week has been almost the longest
eyer held and in many respects the
years. Although the first session of
the 5Oth Congress lasted until Octo-
Der %, the present session by reason
of its long and delayed session had
far exceeded it in working time and
the amount of legislative work ac-
tually accomplished has been extra
ordinary, viewed In the light of pre-
vious Congresses and of the unusual
character of the measures considered
In figures the business of the session
is expressed as follows:
Bills and joint resolutions intro
duced in the House 12,4O2, in the
Senate 1850, or a total of 16, 972
against / 5, 59S in the first session of
the last Congress, which in this mat
ter far excelled all previous records.
Reports made in the House 1915, in
the Senate 1917. No account being
taken in the Senate of other than
written reports. Bills passed by the
House 1892, of which the Senate has
passed $40. All except few Of these
$40 have become laws or are await
ing the presidents approval. By the
Senate, 100, of which 4S6 have been
sent to the president, making a total
number of about 1885 acts or laws
against 1870 for the whole of the
last Congress. Of these acts COG
House and 275 Senate bills were for
pensions for individuals.
Besides the Mckinley tariff bill the
following measures enacted into laws
may be named as the most impor-
tant: The bill providing for the
ounces of silver, the customs admin
istrative bill, the dependent and dis
ability pension bills, the antitrust
bill, the anti-lottery bill, the provision
for a worlds fair in Chicago in 1892
to celebrate the 4OOth anniversary of
the discovery of America, the admis-
sion of Wyoming and Idaho to state
hood, the meat inspection bill, the
land grant forfeiture bill, the original
package bill, the bill recommended bv
the international maritime confer
ence to prevent collisions at sea and
the provisions Tin the naval appro-
priation bill) to add to the new navy
three line of battleships, one protect
ed cruiser, one torpedo cruiser and
one torpedo boat.
The bills of general interest. the
Blair educa tional bill and the inter
national copyright bill have been de-
feated in the Senate and House re-
spectively after full consideration by
test votes. In addition to the bills
mentioned there are a great number,
including the Edmunds land court
bill, the woman suffrage and prohi-
bition amendments to the constitu-
ton, and all sorts of financial mea-
sures which have not vet been acted
upon by either branch of Congress.

PRESS COMMENTS.
The Swedish Colony.

Reports from the Swedish colony
in the town of Peru. VT, are very en-
couraging The colonists seem salts
fed with their land and with what
they are doing. They have found
that they were not wrong when they
refused to trust the agents of some
of the Western states who represent
ed the land in Vermont as so poor
that "a rabbit had to take his
luncheon with him if he was going to
cross a field" That the Swedes are
accounted desirable settlers may be
inferred from the efforts which the
Western people are making to divert
them from the Eastern farms offered
to them for almost nothing by the
states of Vermont and New Hamp-
shire This Peru colony, which, how
ever, spreads into other towns ad-
jacent, brought with them their
Lutheran pastor and have their ser
vices every Sunday as if they were at
home. The pastor farms like the
rest during the week and conducts
the worship on Sundays. The peo-
pleseem exceptionally intelligent, and
easily adapt themselves to their new
surroundings. One of the boys, a
lad of only seventeen, has already
been made ''tallyclerk" in the mill,
and is giving great satisfaction in the
work to which he was appointed be
cause of his undoubted honesty. On
the whole, this experiment is proving
itself most highly successful, and it
is to be hoped that the many aban-
doned farms, the number of which is
constantly on the increase in the two
states mentioned, may be soon
worked by these settlers, who give
every promise of becoming in every
way excellent citizens New York

The work of Congress will not be
finally weighed and valued until
years have elapsed. 1t is not the end
that crowns the work, nor even the
early results, when that work is the
making of laws for a great nation.
The highest prosperity comes some
times only through straights and
strains, and the laws which lay
broad and deep foundations for last
ing welfare are not infrequently try
ing or vexatious in their first effects.
1t rarely happens that the first an
swer of the people to the laws framed
in their behalf must be given within
month after the adjournment OF
Congress. In such hasty judgments
there are apt to be errors. But the
republican party has performed what
it deemed its duty stoutly and brave
", and knows well that its own
future may be staked upon the result.
