Hundreds Of young men who have

The advice invariably given TO ev.
eryone who asks, is do something.
The fact that the young fellow sets
about to do something is more i'm.
portant than what lie does. The
next thiny, do what he likes to do,
sui ject to modification. The young
fellow cannot always choose and he
may need to train lis tastes il a
different direction. A great ambi
tiCn he may have in his breast for
some Intellectual pursuit, and be may
have but little capacity. He may
rush into water too deep and be
drowned with the million and one

something. 1t Is often asserted that
there meyer was better time Tor an
educated and capable young man to
start. Long years Of toll and obscu-
rity must stare the man Of average
capacity IN the face, as be contem-
plates law, medicine and any of the

Your Boy.

want him TO be brave, manly boy
a boy whom the world will respect
a boy who will respect himself
don't be always asking him if his
throat feels sore and if his lead
aches, and It be is sure that lie has
not been sneezing.
Don't teach him to believe that q
few drops Of rain on his back msy
be fatal. Don't fill him with terror
of the good north wind and of the
braclng cold Of winter. Don't talk
to him when he's eating and enjoying
the food his system Graves about
dyspepsia and liver complaint. Let
him eat; let him play; let him climb
tees; have him taught to swim; to
row, and to skate; let him drive q
horse, and harness 1t too.
Don't tell him he cannot DO any
thing that he undertakes to do.
Don't throw cold water on his plans
for doing big thinge, even if you
know that be will fall give him q
chance to try. Let him have place
where be can saw and hammer and
wb;ttIe TO his hearts content, with
out being warned that he will surely
cut Off his fingers, and without being
reprimanded continually about the
clatter be is making.
1t is absolutely necessary that a
man should first be boy. And the
nobler, brsver. more manly the boy
is the better the man will be. And
it is an unfortunate fact that great
many men are spoiled in the making
-spoiled physically. morally. and
Intellectually.
A boy wants freedom and scope
In which to develop himself. Cramp
him when he is young and he will
be cramped all his life. Teach him
to bear trials with courage. Don't
fill him with silly dread of sick ness.
More than half Of the diseases from
which We suffer are purely imagin-
ary, and every physician knows it
and aims to keep the mind of the
patient employed so that be will
have no time to think Of himself.
Too much coddllng has ruined
many and otherwise fine boy. Tue
mothers-God bless tbem-mean
well, but they are not wise always,
and their boys grow up dyspeptlc
and weak and languld for lack of a
little courage which has been cons
pletely educated out Of them if they
ever possessed it. Why Is it that
the boys of poor parents the boys
who had to work hard for their bread,
the boys who went cold and hungry
and barefooted-why is it that they
are and have been the successful
men Of age?
Don't coddle your boy. If he is
sick nurse him as tenderly as you
please, but don't coddle him and
make him sick for the sake Of nurs-
ing tim to be manly and indepen-
dent, to have courage for any fate,
and nine chances in ten are in his
grasp for success in life, for it is not
the timid, hesitatlns, apprehensive
man who rises, bat the man who
sees the opportunity and who says

THE NATIONAL CHARACTER.
In our own co1ntry the money

tie moral standard so low. This
happy effect must come from the
improvement Of the national char =

better. We are the masters of the
greatest country on the globe, we
have the most perfect system OF
government in the world, to which
all nations are being drawn. We
have nothing from without to fear
Lnot even Haly), and within we have
but two great dangers.

other the devil Of party spirit.

Duluth senator objected to such treatment,
however, and succeeded III getting the bill
referred to the committee Of the whole.
III the afternoon the first matter of inn
portance to come before the senate was
senator Donnelly's mortgage taxation bill.
= =, +, o6, which was on its final passage.
There was no debate whatever. Senator
i4eavitt attempted to get an amendment be-
lore the senate, but Senator Brown OBJ
Jected and the roll was called on the bill.
The result showed % votes in its favor and
% against it:
When the house met to-day Mr., Gal
lagher moved to have his bill providing tor
a three-cent street railway fare taken from
the table, but after a lurid discussion, ex-
tending over halt an hour, the motion was
voted down.
The sensation Of the morning was caused
by Mr.. Trip OF Hennepin, who sent UP
resolution to enforce the rules OF the house
against the admission of lobbyists to the
floor for the rest of the session.
Mr.. Penney, on behalf OF his bill, made
strong speech in which he pointed out
the cruelty of the present law, which pro-
vides that executions shall take place be
tween midnight and sunrise, and further
law prohibiting the publication of reports
or executions was concerned, it had never
been observed by any of the newspapers Of
the state
After lengthy discussion, in which the
objections Of the people of Saltwater to
have all the executions take place at the
penitentiary were enlarged upon at con-
siderable length, the bill was defeated by
vote OF 36 yeas to A nays.

SENATE.

The routine business of the senate was in.
ordinately dull yesterday. Nearly the
whole day was spent on general orders and
it happened that no bills of particular in
terest to the general public We're discussed.
1t was the same way with the calendar.
Senator McMillan's automatic coupler and
brake bill-the measure which provides
that all cars and engines in the state must
be equipped with couplers and brakes with
in four years-was referred to committee
consisting of Senators Mcmillan and Morse,
the latter having discovered provision
which he thought needed modification /:
will be reported back to-day. and being first
on the calendar is likely to be passed. This
was the most important bill on Yesterdays
list. The bill providing Tor the revision Of
the statutes under the direction Of the at
torney general went through without OBJ
lection.
In the afternoon there was little more
animation in the senate over J. w. Peter
sons bill amending the law regulating the
sale and manufacture OF baking powder
and prepared foods, syrups and the like.
Alter the bill had been amended by pro-
visions requiring that all ingredients be
shown on the labels the bill was recon-
NEEDED for passage.
The joint resolution petitioning congress
~ SIst olioi d tlSSttl teiGSSIdpllW WAS IaVOrdDly
considered. This was one of Donnelly's
pet schemes. Another bill of some inter
est was that Of Senator Leavitt's, providing
for the assessment and taxation OF tele-9
phone and telegraph lines. The Currier
bill from the house was substituted for this
1t having practically the same provisions
and was then recommended tor passage.
The question of increasing the compensa-
ton of employees of the house came UP,
Mr.. Feig calling up his resolution OF March
"a. This resolution provides for increasing
the pay of the reading clerk, Robert Dakln,
one OF the best and most efficient officers Of.
the house, to So per day.
Mr.. Lomen offered an amendment raising
Mr.. Dakin's pay to $40 per day. and in sup
port of his amendment Mr. LOmen made
quite an effective speech.
The amendment of Mr.. Lomen was then
passed by vote OF % to 2 the directors be-
ing Messrs. Knudson and Lewis.
Mr. Knudson called up his resolution au-
thorizing the purchase of copies ofthe stat
utes for the use OF state officers and it was
adopted.
Mr.. Doyle. in behalf of the Goodhue
county delegation, reported back III. f.
1856, a local bill fixing the salaries of the
county officers. On his motion the bill was
passed under suspension of the rules.
