an imperial form of COVE vernmcnt, shared
as n republic in the deliberations and
results of tho conference. The recon-

transmitted to congress nt the last ses-

which sat in Washington last winter,
reached very gratifying result.
The regulations aud suggestions have
been brought to the attention of all the
governments represented, and their gen

Wrong Ideas of Moral Training.

Moral training has yet to be organ
lied and systematized before it can
be carried on with efficiency on a
large scale, and this will not be done
until its importance is more fully
felt than at present. 1t is taken for
granted, in a loose kind Of way, that
a good character will come of itself to
most people. No one supposes that
knowledge comes Of itself, that mems
tai power can be gained without
trouble, that a trade or profession
can be successfully pursued without
previous systematic preparation, Yet
all or any Of these are more possible
than that character worthy of re.
spect and admiration should spring
up without either care or knowledge
OIL the part of the builder the way
in which to combine them.

Mr.. Surgeons "Salt-cellars" con-
tain much wise and witty counsel for
young men. Here are two para,
graphs worth Remembering: "Charac-
ter is mans best capital. 1t is the
backbone Of success, especially with
those employed by Others. Young
men, see that you do not impoverish
yourself by wasting this precious
stock-in-trade of life" "Chins with
out boards are better than heads
without brains. Young men, when
wise, are to be preferred to those
without sense, who have not even
youth to excuse their folly. When
Queen Elisabeth had sent some
what young ambassador to a foreign
court, and the king complained of it
the ambassador replied: IF her Mai.
esty had known that you measure
wisdom by boards, she should hav,
sent you a goat"

But such a caution as this seems hard
ly necessary to any person in the full
possession of his faculties. Yet it is
astonishing how many people there
are including good business men,
who attach their signature to papers
or documents whose contents might
have a serious bearing upon them
selves or their affairs, with scarcely a
glance at their contents. Carelessness
in falling to acquaint themselves
with the contents Of paper before
signing it has worked incalculable
harm to thousands of well intentions

Modern cOnveniences save work
and make work. A large house means
great care and little house should
be well supplied with closets and
kept in perfect repair to make it a
comfortable place to live in. In any
case water should be brought into the
house and good drain be laid from
the kitchen sink. Then with the
usual sanitary requirements fulfilled
regarding dryness and ventilation, a
sensible woman ought to not make
herself too unhappy with longing for
a grand house to take care of.
She may well study how to make
the most of what she has. Fresh
paint and paper, windows that will
raise easily, doors that hang straight
and well laid walks about the house
will do much to make the most dis
cOntented woman satisfied. The

to often run up as nigh as 1899 in the

digging wells 100, 200 or even 800 feet

thanks to copious springs which
