YouthfuI OFFENDERS.

The establishment of an institu-
ton for correction for miner offenses
committed by children who are
brought before the Court, is being
agitated in different cities. 1t IS
but the part of movement towards
the recognition of the fact that the
law with its present facilities is in a
measure powerless TO perform it's
work. Criminal associates and
criminal association are coming
more and more to be regarded as q
most harmful feature of the present
arrangement for the detention of
those who are guilty of minor and
petty offenses. Were it practicable
the thorough development of this
movement in the actual practice of
applying corrective measures in
minor offenses would undoubtedly
work wonders in the generation of
that class of offenders who are in
the earlier stages of descent. The
moral ticket-of leave which the sen.
tence of court hangs over the head
of many unfortunate people who
come before its bar, is phase of
the application of criminal law for
which the courts are by no means
ponsible.-ReqiSteT

Don't loaf in another persons of

ness hours. They frequently, in

business privately, which they can
not do with lot of loafers about.

As soon as child begins to lisp
its first broken sentences its educa-
tion should begin. Habits are
formed which viii exist to a greater
or less degree throughout life.
Such being the case, the eonversa-
tion OF the older members of the
family should be carefully guarded,
lest the little ones hear and learn
ungramatical expressions and slang
which, sad to say, is so rife among
our young people of the present
day. The servants with whom
children spend much of their time.
should be chosen with reference TO
this matter. A mother should feel
it her duty to point out any gra
matical mistakes made by them,
and insist npon their language being
correct, respectful and devoid of
slang at all times. 1t is exceed
ingly difficult to break children of
habits oncc ssrned, and care in this
direction viii save much trouble
and annoyance. One way to culti-
vate the use oflanguage, and at the
same time to learn of the occupa-
tions and companions of her chill
dren, is for the mother to encour-
age the daily narration of what they
have seen, heard, and enjoyed,
and the telling of their
little experiences. The study of
pictures, moreover, in which every
child delights, may be used as
great provocation of language.
Children always love to look at
pictures, and can almost always be
induced to talk about them. This
study teaches them observa-
ton, and how to accurately describe
what they see. When stories are
read to children they should be
obliged to reproduce them, using as
far as possible the language of the
book. The memory is strengthened
in this way, habit of attention is
formed, and the power of express
ion increased. If such plans
as these are Systematically carried
out, they will prove a wonderful
help in the thorough education of
a child. The constant, careful
teaching and kind suggestions of
parents will accomplish a work
which can never bo performed by
study, and in after years such early
home training will show itself in a
ready command oflanguage, and an
easy, graceful power of conyersa-
tion.-Anon.

life he went to Writ county, but
later settled in Jackson county,
whore he has since lived and where
he died. He was talented lawyer
and man of business sagaeity,
which enabled him TO amass consid-
cradle property. In his political
affiliations he espoused many beliefs,
but in all of his wanderings he was
in earnest, believing that he was
right in every case and accounting
bis convictions in fearless and out
spoken advocacy of his convictions.
he has held many positions within

serving as a Judge of the Circuit
Court, member of the Constitute

He was a progressive man, aud
contributed considerably, toward

IngersolI ON Finance.

What Ingersoll says on secular
subjects is not of much moro i'm
portance than what he says on re-
ligious subjects. For example, in a
late interview, he said: "I am a
silver man. believe in gold and
silver and free coinage. want a
dollars worth of silver in a silver
dollar, and then the moro silver dol
lars we have the better. Gold is
the money of the creditor; the debt
or wants silver and / want both. I"
But if the gold and silver dollars
are of the same value, why should
gold be the money of the creditor
and silver the money of the debtor2

a steady Hand.

Whom Doctor Garland, success
ful New York surgeon, began prac-
tice, he went into an Office with an
old doctor, who, of course, was al
ways wanted by patients One day
man called in great haste when
the older doctor was away.
"Where is the doctor? / want him
at once Ny boy has been badly
hurt. .
'sThe doctor is out, replied young
Garland, "and will not be back for
two hours, but / am at your service. .
"You. said the man almost con-
temptuoasIy "What can you do2
This is case for an experienced
surgeon"
Il win doNay best, replied GAR
land, steadily. aThcre is no time
to lose if the accident is serious.
Will yoe accept my service for the
want of better2''
Theszsssn looked at him a. mo-
ment and the said.
"Well, come on. L would rather
have the doctor, though. He has
experience"
"Well i shall have some ifI cure
your boy said Garland with a
slight smile. "You cant blame a
man for being no older than he is,
can your"
When the young doctor arrived
at the house everything was in con-
fusion. The injured boys mother
was almost in a panic, but Garland IS
coolness and self-possession soon
calmed her somewhat. Then the
young doctor gave the necessary
orders with sharp distinctness and
confidence; and, with that deftness
which man of action in emergen-
cies always knows how to use, he
set about the task of restoring TO
consciousness the injured boy.
While he was at work, the father
walked the floor anxiously, bemoan-
ing almost audibly the misfortune
of having an inexperienced surgeon
at such time. He had almost re.
solved to go out and find another
doctor when the young surgeon
crossed the room to a table, and
poured out into a teaspoon some
necessary medicine. He then took
the spoonful of medicine and carri-
ed it back to the lounge with u
steady hand, SO that not a drop of
the liquid was spilled. Instantly it
flashed into the fathers mind, "If
that young fellow can do that, he
must have his wits about him and
be steady. l believe 1 can trust
him with tho case"
The father lost his anxiety from
that moment, assisted the doctor in
all that was necessary, and his faith
in the young man was so great that
he allowed Garland to conduct the
case until his son had fully recover
ed.
The doctors success as a surgeon
dated from that case, and was owing
really to the simple fact that he
once carried spoonful of medicine
across room without a tremor of
the hand.

The farmers organizations of the
country have brought the politici-
ans to realize the fact that the fa..-
mer may and will probably be an
important factor in the fortunes of
the Office seeking fraternity, and it
would be amusing if it were not RI
diculous to note with what zeal these
aspiring statesmen pat the farmer
on the back and declare their over
shadowing interest in him and his
calling. The purpose and genius of
the Farmers Alliance is all right
if developed in its true spirit it is
bound TO produce a wonderful revo-

and the scope of its work is as wide

Keep Then. a,Hon,e.

Parents often wonder who or
what has ruined their boys. They
have been in school every day, but
the lessons of department. and NOR
ality inculcatod there seems to have
been wasted on barren ground.
The truth is boys are allowed to be
on the streets from the time school
closes until late at night. The
street corner is the best place in the
world for teaching vice, profigacy
and crime. Nearly all the bad Ian
guage, and idle, vicious habits which
boys acquire, are learned on the
street late at night. Teachers may
be ablo to accomplish a little in
counteracting these little influences,
but much of their labor is in vain
until parents cooperate with them
by keeping their boys off the streets
at night.
