THE USE OF MONEY.
Why Children Should he Taken Into Con-
fidence BY Their Fathers.

No father ought to rear his children in
utter ignorance of his W life, his aims
and ~esource If he does, they have
nothing by which they can gauge his
ability to grant them what they ask. If
they are given the money asked for, or
less, they take all they can get and
spend all they take, whether it be five
dollars or a hundred. They have no
means Of knowing the essential differ
ence to him, or whether there is any. Il
is not enough to tell them, in a general
way, things can not be afforded. for they
can see no difference whether father az
fords any thing or not, except that they
have to work a little harder to geti it.
II fathers took their children into
their confidence and explained to them
that a certain amount of money could
be spared them each year, or quarter or
week, as the case might be, and NO
more, and they then economical on it
and came out with a surplus, they would
learn more OF the value of money, and
see something of the order and beauty
of economy; they might rise from econ
omy to sacrifices, and often prove help
full burden-sharers instead of burden
makers.
How different the son or daughter
feels towards the father when they
know the particular, definite burden he
is carrying and realize why the thing
can not be afforded. How it develops
the m~anliness or womanliness of a
child when It feels fathers load
after being made personally acquainted
with it from fathers or mothers lips
not in a fault-fnding, complaining way,
but in a straightforward, confidential
manner, that draws the child and parent
into very close relationship.
Making a confdant of a child in this
way educates it to the comprehension Of
relative money values and gives a
knowledge Of finance not otherwise OBJ
tainable. The child would thus be bet
ter prepared to meet either poverty,
competence or wealth. But above this
it would know its father and the family,
and be educated in social sympathies
and in executive power.
A man who instructs his wife and
children to be economical, giving them
no standard Of what economy is rela.
lively to his possessions, blunts percep.
ton, represses self-knowledge and self
control, and fails to End u the good
qualities and helpfulness Of those who
ought to be, and would be il allowed,
his best and most cheerful helpers.
Fathers do not know what there is in
their children till they give them an
opportunity Of knowing their financial
conditions.
If poverty is your lot, the children
should be taken into your confidence Ia
help you; If competence or wealth, tina,
you may help them to know the worth
of money by being made to make GER
tain allowances supply their wants and
net them a surplus In either cas- they
learn the use of money.-Farm, Field
and Stockman.

IhE sHApOWLESS LAND.

We sat in the shadows Of trees,
Where murmuriug waters were heard;
we caught the perfume OF the bloom from the
breeze,
We heard the soft hum Of the lahoring bees
And song OF the twittering bird
No weird rustic beauty was there,
But cloudless blue skies and green sod;
And hues Of sweet violetS placidly fair,
And tints Of ground ivy-its fragrance so rare
Seemed borne from the gardens Of God.
Beyond where the violetS green,
Beyond where the iyies were spread
A peopleless city was dimly in view,
The tenants were hidden from sight-yet we
knew
The shadowy land of the dead
Aloof from their burdens Of care,
Just under the sod and the sand,
The tenants lay silent and motionless there;
Their spirits adrift in a far region-tWhereo
Afar-away, shadowless land.
But where can this vague region be'
This region Of shadowless skies,
They say it is over a limitleSs sea
But how can we cross the expanse and be free'
Or how can we know where it lies'
How far through the shadows and gloom,
All pent in the sod and the sandt
How far through the dark, dismal shades by the
tomb!
How far 10 the region Of brightness and hloom'
How far TO the s~hadowless landy

FEMALE CRIMINALS.
A Comparative study of Crime in france
During the Past Year.


Maitre Proal, Of the Bar of All, has
published a comparative study OF male
and female crime in France during the
last year. His object is to refute the
theory Of the anthropological criminal
lists, headed by L~ambroso, who hold
that more closely resemble the
pr~ehistorical types Of the human race
than men. In the period named there
we're 4,29S convictions for felony, in
which 3,672 Of the prisoners were men
and 626 women. OF "a cases Of poison.
ing, two-thirds were committed by
women. One hundred and se%venty-siK
men were convicted OF arson, as against
SO OF the 29j cases Of murder,
PAS were by men and Al by women. in
Is cases of homicide and vitriol-throw-
ing by women actuated by revenge the
accused were acquitted, extenuating
circumstances being admitted, and are
not technically to be held guilty.
Women, it may be said, are prevented
by their want Of muscular strength from
committing murders OF a brutal kind;
but this objection would not apply 10
theft. OF 46,2sj persons convicted for
theft, So, 6s7 were men and 10, sos WON.

in excess OF men, and ladies are more

fact that in France women are
nearly as often in business as men.
they are much less oftener guilty OF
fraud than members Of the other sex.
OF these latter, 1886 we're convicted,
while only 6sl women we're charged
with the same offense. NJ. Proal's con
