HER WAY OF Doing IT.-Our lit
tie girl Of six years was much broken
up at parting with her uncle, as he was
leaving us one evening to take II train
for his distant home, after L short visit
of few days, and went to bed weep,
ing over her trial.
When her mother came up to her,
she said
Mamma, I want to say my prayers
tonight"
"Why tonight ~ asked her mother
tenderly.
"Oh, because 7 am not happy, and |
thought if l could talk to God for i
second l would feel better"
She was asked il that was the way
people generally did when they were
unhappy.
She answered, ~ don't know about
other people; it is the way | do"

1t is not generally known how easy
Il matter it is to explore the bottom of
a well or cistern or pond Of water by
the use of a common mirror. When
the sun is shining brightly hold mir
ror so that the reflected rays Of light
will fall into the water. A bright spot
will be seen at the bottom, SO light as
to show the smallest object plainly.
BY this means may be examined the
bottom of wells fifty feet deep, when
half full, or more, of water, The
smallest straw or other objects can he
perfectly seen from the surface. In the
same way one can examine the bot
toms of ponds and rivers, if the water
he somewhat agitated by winds or rap
id motion. If the well or cistern be
under cover, or shaded by a building
so that the sunlight will not fall near
the opening, it is not only necessary
to employ two mirrors, using one to
reflect the light to the opening, and
another to reflect it down into the wa
ter. Light may be thrown fifty or one
hundred yards to the precise spot de-
sireable, and then downward.

Parents are called the natural guard
dams of their children but there are
parents who seem unnatural in their
childrcn's guardianship. Not to speak
of those monster mothers or fathers
who kill their children in order to OBJ
tain paltry sums of insurance on their
lives, it must he admitted that many
fathers and mothers are sclllshly re-
gardlesS of the feelings and Interests OF
their little ones in the ordinary duties
and trials Of life. On 4 recent rainy
and windy sunday evening, a father
of the "beltcr classn in the commune
ty was walking along Il city street to-
ward the church. BY his side toddlcd
II little girl, apparently not above six
years of aye, holding an umbrella,
which she could barely keep in its

side unh"r the weight Of her burden
in tile driving storm, her umbrella
hit auainst her sironG-limbcd father,
vino wus stalking along by himself,
without any apparent thought of her.
"J,uoll out, there ~ he said sharply,
"Dun't hit me in that way. Have Il
care Of YOURSELF" lie spoke as il he
were asserting himself against Il bully
| ing stranger. The child Shrank away
from her father, and tried harder than
ever to take care of herself, and OF her
umbrella. and of him. Poor child !!
1t was a hard lesson she learning OF
the duty of little ones to look out for
themselves and for their parents, with
ont word of cheer from anybody.

Many man when he begins to ac-
cumulate wealth commences ut the
same moment to ruin his soul, and the
more he acquires the more closely he
blocks his lberality, which is, so to
speak, the very mouth of spiritual life.
Instead of doing more for God, he does
less. The more he saves the more he
wants, and the more he wants of this
world the less he cares for the world to
come.

THE COUNTRY'S TRADE.
Resume for the Past week as Gathered
by Z. q. Dun C Co.'S Mercan-
tile Agency.
The Monetary stringeney has Caused no serf-
Gus Trouble at any Point-The General
Condition Satisfactory.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-R. G. Dun s.
Co. 8 weekly review of the country's
trade says that wheat is quoted at $3.50
cents at Chicago, S1.O234 here, and only
about 81. 03 at Liverpool for same grades,
SO that no free and natural movements
to the seaboard, or hence to Europe, can
take place. Similar obstacles check the
movement of some other products. Ex-
those of last year at correspond
Ing dates, but imports are coming
forward in large volume, the anxiety
to get goods entered here before the new
tariff goes into effect beng great. In
the half of September the increase OF
imports over last year at New York has
been per cent. but the decrease III eX-
ports since has been 10 per cent. the
moveme mt during the past has been TO-
wards natural adjustment of prices and
wheat is 31ac lower with sales Of 81 ,OoO,-
600 bushels. Corn is 20 lower with
sales of u 200 200 bushels. Cotton 7sc-
lower. with sales of 800 900 bales, and
lard and hogs shade lower, but oats
have risen a fraction. Oil is nearly
cent. and butter and some other farm
products are higher. The interior money
markets are generally close, with
strong demand, which an unprecedented
volume of business naturally causes. at
Boston the stringency affects trade some
what, but WOODS are III
much better demand. Sales
reached 1893, 900 pounds. Wool
also shows improvements in Philadel-
phia. and cotton manufactures are
fairly active. The iron trade is very
active, and nail workers have advanced
prices to 81 per keg. Chicago has q
large decrease from last year in re-
ceipts of grain, but the increase in lard i,
cheese, hides aud wool, dry goods and
clothing sales exceed last years, with
prompt collections, and the boot
and shoe trade also, though
for week more the quotations

heavy, but the stringeney does not much
affect general trade. st. Louis notes a

these high promontorles brings one into
new relations with the scenery, and
opens up new vistas of mountains. The
foliage of many chestnuts, of vines and
olives, together with sloping fields of
grain and little gardens makes verdure
soft and varied, but no ferns and flowers
clothe the banks to the waters edge as
in the Scottish lakes.
We are just passing quaint little viii
lage that occupies one of the many
capes. Every turn about one of these
long points brings US seemingly into an
other lake. On some projecting point
above each village is the church, some
times apparently SO inaccessible that
verify a man may be said to work out his
salvation by going there to mass. In
other places, high up, we see road
winding up to the church, crossing deep
ravines by arches of strong masonry.
The church bells add charm to Como,
like perfume to flower. Every even
ing ana morning, for a half hour or so
there is far, sweet Ginning from over
our heads, from across the water, from
up and down the lake. And when it
comes to full moon on Como, such as
we had last night, then the idea of there
being any other lake in the world but
Como
FADES FROM THE THOUGHT
and you realize all that artists have
painted and poets have sung of Italy
The moon was made for Como, and Como
for the moon. 1t is no ordinary cold,
white moonshine, but moonlight that has
soft, subdued fire in it such as shines
through an opal and leaves a track of
subtle, palpitating fire on the water.
Nor is the moon fiat, round disk, but q
glowing ball swung in infinite depths of
blue ether. But it is really unsafe for
anybody to seriously describe moonlight
on Lake Como; 1t is so utterly bewitching
you cannot be quite sure what you really
saw, and you don't dare tell what you
thought you saw.
We have been noticing a fine road
built along the lake side, and 1t is liter
ally built, for this land is not hospitabie
TO roads. This is cut from the rock in
tunnels in some places and in others
built up from the water IN solid ramparts
of stone. Many of the tunnels are so
long that openings cut through the rock
| are necessary to light them. We have
been amused for some minutes by watch
| ing white horse on this road who seems
to appear and disappear suddenly in the
walls of rock. All the women are wash
| ing to-day; at every village there is a
row of them on their knees at the lake
side scrubbing clothes
ON SMOOTH BOARDS. -
More and more misty and dreamy
| the lake and the mountains seem as the
afternoon advances. We are near to
| Cadenabbia now, full of content and
scenery We chose TO stop at Caden-
abba, because being more in the shade
the-way, every Italian district has its
own peculiar manufactures, and the
| characteristic product of the lakes (be-
sides olive n God things aud silks, such as
one sees at Torrento) is the red umbrella.
1t is Of cotton. and the bright red is an
oil color. They add very picturesque
feature to a rainy day, and tourists have
fancy for buying them.

Western points the reported trade Is
good exceeding last years, but every
where money is in strong dem and, and
at almost all places. A light bus!-
ness also appears at South
ern points. Galveston hopes for
relief as soon as cotton moves. Atlanta
reports cotton going forward every day,
and not much trouble caused by tIght
money and Savannah reports close mar
ket with receipts of 81 200 bales of cotton,
Is, 500 barrels of rosin, and $3.50 Of tur-
pentine. The consumption of iron is enor-
nous, the largest ever known, but new
business in bar iron is not heavy, ana
the demand for rails is light, with some
sales at IS, and reports of others even
lower. Pig iron is weaker, though
quotations do not change. The great IN
crease in the sales of wool marks a re-
vival IN the manufacture, and cotton
manufacture is active, the decline III
raw material helping. The dry goods
business is growing in activity, even IL
wooden goods.
The Improvement of freight is heavy,
and railroad earnings continue to show
an increase, though the failure to adjust
the question of rates raised by the inter-
state commission is still disturbing FAC
tor.
The general condition of business
is so satisfactory that the monetary
pressure only hindering, that the failure
at Boston causes no apprehension. Il
speculation does not prevent the adjust
ment of prices to a condition of immedi-
ate trade the monetary difficulty will 10
soon overcome by marketive products.
Business failures during the past seven
DAYS number 1870, as compared with l55
last week, and 2O3 the week previous 10
the last. For the corresponding week oil
last year the figures were 1875.

es penetrate all sections of these states, reach
ing nine-tenths of the chief cities. 1t is the
short line TO Helena aud Butte, Mont, Spokane
Falls Tacoma and Seattle, Wash, and Port

of Montana and Washington. Pullman sleep

and Pullman palace sleeping cars via Chicago.
Milwaukee & st. Paul and Northern Pacific
from Chicago through to the Pacific Coast With

Northern Pacific line necessitated the inaugu-
ration in June, 1890, of second through train
to the Pacific Coast, thus enabling this road to
oifer the public the advantage of two through
trains daily to Montana and points In the
Pacific Northwest, carrying complete service
OF sleeping cars, dining cars and regular day

morning runs via the recently completed air
line Of the Northern Pacific through Butte,
Montana, making this the shortest line TO tine
latter point by l20 miles.
Colonists for Washington, Oregon and British
Columbia points should take no other line than
the Northern Pacific, rs by this line only can
all portions of the state of Washington be

When the Democratic nominee
for congress against Mr.. LaFollette,
in the third congressional district,
gets thoroughly warmed up to his
work and is explaining to the farm
ers of this district how protection
robs them, and how "Mr. LaFollette
has sold them out to the terrible
robber baron eastern manufacturers"
it will be we'll for him to take from
his hat, where we hope he will have
pasted it, the extract In another col
umn from the tariff speech of MIR.
LaFollette, and before his farmer
audience expound and explain it.
In the paragraph quoted Mr.. La
Toilette has shown from history the
effects of the tariff upon wire nails.
how the Democrats howled when
the tax was put on; how they de-
clared with President Cleveland
that it would enable the robber
manufactures to increase the price
of wire nails To the consumer by
the amount OF the tax; how the
duty was laid aud the industry
ihrived under protection until in
five years the price went down to
half the amount of the tariff tax
itself.
Judge Bushnell should explain
the Democratic position on the wire
nail duties AT TINS time. Is he for
the protection, or does he believe
with other free tlade Democrats
that we should go back To free trade
in wire nails and pay the Foreigners
S6 key for them?
Mr.. Bushnell will find that going
before the people on the general
Democratic proposition mat "the
tariff is tax" aud mat 'ananufac-
turelo are thleves," viii not answer.
Mr.. LaFolletle has given nlm, in
the wire hail paragraph, subject
matter Tor days flow of horid
rhetoric aud free trade philosophy.

Jack Carkeek claims he has been

We have been requested to an
nounce that Mr.. Thos. II. Davies,
janitor at the High School, has been
appointed truant officer, whose duty
it is presumed is to see that the
pupils of the city attend school reg

neglected to comply with the school
law providing for compulsory edu-
cation, it would seem that the "truant
officer" as he is termed, will have
but little work to perform, unless i t
might be to respond to prosecutions
by parents for interfering with the
personal rights of their chlldr5s.

he was persuaded oy the company
to go to Chicago to st. Luke's hos

He further states that while at the
hospital he was not furnished with
proper food or medical care, aud for
this he claims $4,000 more. The
