What are you doing for the home edu-
cation of the boys and girls? The school,
public or private, may be never SO good,
but the practical home training is even
more important. What do we educate
our children for? To be good and use
full men and women, of course. We de-
velop and train their latent powers that
they may know how to use them in the
business and conduct of life. We want
them to be both ornamental in society
and useful in their day and generation.
We want them to be fitted to bear the re-
sponsibilities and honors of private and
public life. To this end, why not lead
them at once to take up the little cares
and labors, such as they can, in the home
life. Give them them share in the bus
mess of the household. Let them labor
for wages and buy and sell on their own
account aud be responsible for certain
things. Teach them to apply their school
lessons in actual experienced Maxim.

W. B. Hall g. Co..

The dry goods men of Bridgeport, have had
six story building built over and around them
without disturbing their business, but their
landlord has notified them that, if they will
move out, he will make the inside look
well as the outside. They cannot find any
place to move to and have decided to hold
half priced sale and close out all goods in the
front store before August I. 1t will be good
place to trade for the next three weeks. The
Farmer of the 11th thus alludes to the firm
The Sanford building at the corner OF Main
and Cannon streets, now approaching COM
pletion, will stand for century. 1t rests on
nc ordinary foundations. Besides the ponder
Gus brick and mortar, sealed hewn stones
deep and firmly set, it has an auxiliary sup
porting power, W. B. Hall & Co.'S establish
ment, which for 10 years has not only stood
alone, but shown a capacity to support 9th
ers. Such store is a power in many senses
in a community. First it is progressive, new
er following q policy simply because there
was a time when that policy met require
ment. Conditions change. This firm chang
es with them, except that it adheres always
to low prices tor best goods, policy which is
one of the firms strongest and never deviated
from. Secondly, it is inventive, presenting
its customers with ways that are new, leaving
old ruts and customs and maintaining path
way shaped by the signs of times. Ii there Is
q new weave in the market, they are bound to
have it and usually first, new textures, new
colors and shades of colors in goods which
the ladies thought they were familiar with,
but found to their surprise that they were not.
W. B. Hall s. Co.'S store is the literal tounda-
ton stone of their particular corner, for the
reason, besides all that is stated, that they
more than strive to please, they lead in every
essential. Just now, when a majority OF that
class of ladies who buy without regard to
what their neighbors may do are at the water
ing places and the mountains, the firm is as
active in offering novelties in silk dress goods
and all the other matters essential to the
maintenance of a first class dry goods store as
If those ladies were in the city. The explana-
ton is, the store is q democratic institution,
the line being drawn taut enough at the polit-
ical part thereof to show conclusively that the
proprietors seek to confer the greatest good
on the greatest number and their scale of pri-
ces all around bears out the idea completely.
The store, also,i an everyday in n-thc-y year in
stitution; excepting Sundays and holidays,
its doors never close save for reasons. Hence
it caters to all without regard to race, previ-
GUS condition, etc. A visit there now is syn
onymous with pleasure, because of a semi
confusion attendant upon change. But the
goods offered are none the less select and de-
oi,olIo

NUMBER 80.

The cabinet of ex-Town Clerk Peck
grows so slowly, though steadily, that
even many of his neighbors fail to rea-
lize what treasure trove is being gath
cred, in spite of the fact that Mr. Peck
keeps it open for inspection, with his
own quaint Interpretation to explain the
articles. Nevertheless, here is most in
teresting exhibit of early New England
life of the day of the flint lock, tallow
dip and wooden plow, made by one whose
youth knew its fading glories, as well as
its limitations. Mr. Peck has been a tire
less collector, now at auctions, again
from some old garret and oftimes from
some rubbish heap where his experienc-
ed eye discovered a relic, as when he
found the iron implement on which Will
liam Blakslee once fashioned the bowls
of silver spoons. To the children of to-
day, as well as to many of their elders,
many of these articles, once in daily do
mestic use, are as rare and unknown as
the implements used by the Children of
Israel in the Wilderness. How many,
for instance, have seen and understood
the sample of the first railroad by which
this interior wilderness was first brought
into quicker communication with the
seaboard and outside world. How many
know of the spoon-like dish that was
once filled with fat of some sort, in which
was placed cotton wick, that, lighted,
dimly revealed the surrounding darkness!
Or the wooden plow, with its homemade
metal point, Yet these, with pewter
plates, finder boxes, spinning wheels,
tall clocks, andirons, winkum bottles and
many another antiquity are here to Illus
trate the Pilgrim days, now almost
memory in the rush and glare of steam
and electricity. Mr. Peck has Indian Gu
riosities as well, arrow heads and the
rude stone implements of the Aborigine
and has been loaned, by Mrs w. B. Prin-
die, an Indian peace pipe, sent from Ten
nessee by w. r. Blackman as a humble
tribute of affection to his grandfather,
Suction Shepard. Here are also the dane
ing slippers worn by Sueton's sister, Miss
Jerusha Shepard. There are foreign GU
riosities as well, but nothing so rare and
costly as the fine japanese sword pre-
sented by James O'Connor, guest of the
Grand Central, together with a sword en-
tirely formed of Chinese coins, two wal
rus tusks from Alaska and bracelet
formed from q silver dollar by the Indi-
ans at Sitka.

If you will take your stand on bus-
ness street of any great city and watch
the passers-by, you will be surprised to
see how many men there are who put into
their legs the brain energy which they
ought to put into their business. 1t is
not rapid walking, but hurried walking
that wears men out. A man may form
a habit of rapid walking and walk his
five miles an hour without knowing it.
Another man may walk no faster, but
you see by his face that he is putting his
mind on his pace; that he is the essence
of hurrying. His nerve energy is all 60
ing into his legs; his brain is all alive
with the question whether he is going to
get there in time. His neighbor gets
there perhaps just as quick, but without
thinking about it. A man ought to learn
to walk with his muscles and leave his
brain free to think on things worth think
ing about. Hurrying is walking with
your nerves instead of your muscles

A singular complaint comes from the
fire insurance companies. 1t relates to
large losses in the farming districts on
live stock, due to lightning. Most of the
animals killed were near wire fences at
the time and it is supposed the metal
strands act as a conductor of electricity.
Insurance men believe, however, that
many cattle reported killed by lightning
were in reality killed by injuries received
in coming into violent contact with the

Many of our funeral customs, through

TRADE rs FAIRLY GOOD.

General Improvement Noted, with Conf
dence in the Future Unstinted.
r. G. Dun & Co. S weekly review Of trade
says:
some improvement In the business s1tua-
ton is still noted. There is more actual
trade in most of the leading branches, and
more general confidence as to the future.
But the monetary situation does not grow
clearer. A speculation IN products is
springing up which threatens to make
trouble when the crop movement becomes
large. Distribution of circulars in enor-
nous number from Minneapolis and
Washington, professedly by the Farm
ers' Alliance, advising all farmers to hold
their wheat, does not yet affect actual
receipts, but stimulates spectators to buy
largely, in expectation of boom, and much
money has already been locked up in car
rying accommodating stocks. With the ut
most freedom in movement Of wheat, the
recovery from Europe of the $4,000, 600
gold shipped this year would be difficult,
but with wheat exports checked for some
months scarcity of money would be felt in
all markets and In all branches of industry.
The condition of trade is generally more
favorable than a week ago.
