bright little three-year-old son This boy

the amen is heard. When he was about
two years old he was at praise and pray
er meeting one day with his father His
father was asked to pray, and Immediately
the little fellow dropped his head and as
Suined the devotional attitude which he
had been taught to do. As his father pro
ceeded with his prayer. he became more
and more earnest, and finally good Meth
odist brother who was present became 50
wrought upon that he interjected at the
end Of particularly fervent period a de-
vout amen" Immediately the little fel.

father expecting him to stop and sit down.

4 PLEA FOR GIRLS.

Parents put saw and hammer, gmlet and
screw driver. in their sons hands at ten
der age. They look upon tools as boys
birthrlght. But little girl is told in hor-
rifed tone to put them down" to mot
touch; y that she will cut herself or pound
her fingers, and get hurt generally But
the time is not far of when there will be
a room in the house set apart for the work
bench, and that bench and its tools IL be
as free to the daughters as TO the sons.
In their fashionable brass hammering and
wood-carvng the girls have "got taste"
of it. We may expect to see the carpen-
ter come to give lessons a. regularly as
the music-teacher Why not? Eight chill
dren out of ten would like it better
dozen years hence certain trades will be
largely occupied by women. We shall see
young women at study and work in archi-
tects' offices, in wallpaper designing
rooms, mixing paints and stains and finish
es and fresco washes. We shall see the
student at the Harvard Annex emerge from
her long cor panonship with the ''higher
mathematics" with the ''plans and eleva-
tions" of house in one hand and ..bill
of lumber" in the other Hide A,cake.

WHAT THE GREAT PREACHER THINKS OF TIE
POWER AND INFIrENCE Oh TuF PRESS.

WHAT TIE GREAT PREACHER THINKS OF THE
POWER AND INFLUENCE oF THE PRESS.
The estimate placed on newspapers and
the power and influence Of the press by the
Rev. L. Dewitt Talmage j. given in the
columns Of the MHnedpolis Iribune in his
usual FRANK and characteristic manner a
follows:
Every newspaper reporter in New York
j. nay personal friend. | have been betray-
ed By about every class of men in the
world. but never by newspaper man. and
| believe there is a spirit Of fairne>. abroad
in the newspapers that is hardly to be
found anywhere else. There l. no man.
however poor. if done an injustice, that
cannot get himself set right by the news
papers Perhaps by our own indistinctnesS
We are reported as saying just what We
did not say. and there is a regular riot of
commas and >emicolOns and periods. aud
we get used to talking about the blum
dering printing press Or sometimes we
take up a paper full of social scandals and
divorce cases, and we talk about the filthy.
scurriloG> press, but | could preach a
whole sermon on the everlasting. blessings
OF a good newspaper. A good newspaper
is the erandest temporal blessing that God
has given the people Of this century. In
the first place all the people read the news
papers. and the newspapers furnish the
greater portion of the reading for the pco-
pie. They don't read books. The old peo-
pie look for the deaths, and the young look
for the marriages. the business man reads
the business and financial columns, and
those who are unemployed read the want
ads. Crest libraries make intelligent men
and women, but newspapers lift the nations
into sunlight. My idea of a good news
paper is mirror of life itself. Some PEG
pie complain because the evil of the
world Is reported as well as the good. Tie
evil must be reported as well as the good
or how will we know what to guard against
or what to reform: There is chance
for discrimination ss to how much space
shall be given to reports of prize fights
but the newspaper that merely presents
the ir and the beautiful and the bright
side of life is a Misrepresentation, That
family is best qualified foI the duties of
life who have told to them not only what
good there is in the world, but what evil
there is in the world, and is told to select
the good and reject the evil"

4 BAD PRACTICE.

Ot the practice of kissing children
when one has a sore throat, a Dussel-
dorf physician says; Speaking mildly
| would call this practice horrible. al
though the term "murderous' was on
my tongue. Yes indeed, dear madam.
''murderous You will remember.
perhaps, that fourteen days ago YOU,
with great shawl wrapped around
Your neck. made IA visit TO Mrs. S,
and. as the little Hans came running
into the room, did you not snatch the
little one III your arms and, apparently
overlooking with tenderness for him,
kiss him to your heart's content? Then
Won began to relate what a horribly in
famed throat you had so that the iav
before YOU had declined au invitation
to the concert. lou had no designs on
the life of that child, and vet YOU killed
him just rs surely a though, instead of
your tender kisses, Won had given him
strychnine OF arsenic. Your tenderness
was fatal. Two or three DAYS later the
boy began TO complain of a sore throat.
and. when the physician came. the one
word "diphtheria" made all clear. To-
