And then what happens?' she
asked, for she was now fully interested
IN the fate Of one who was rash enough
to attempt to learn.
Nothing, only that the dress is torn
at the bottom, and--well, yes, perhaps a
pretty ankle is exposed, but an athletic
girl does not mind that, for she is
usually the picture of health"
But supposing she isn't?"
Pm not supposing any such thing in
the case in point, but if that were the
case she better not ride"
"Gou are entirely too confident, and
as you are an old friend of the family,
and do you think that'll do?"
"What, that top button on your
shoe?"
She pettishly replied, cob! no."
"Ah, yes; l have been obtuse.
"You are asking me to estimate a

''Thank you"
but then you must learn to mount
it. Remove the brace, place your foot
on the center Of the loop, give Il series of
vigorous pushes with the other foot. a
light spring, and you are in the saddle
and will soon have control of the

'I'm much obliged to you, Pm sure, -
she said, as we re-entered the ball room
and glided away in the diagonal.
Now, l want to wager that this same

NOTES FOR PARENTS.
ave Patience with the Questions and
the lJoise of Children.

AVE Patience with the Questions and
the IIoise of Children.
Have patience with
The questions of childhood.
Here is child to whose recently
opened eyes and active senses a world
is exposed, but not one of the manifold
wonders before it can understand. Ed
ucation must, therefore, guide and ex-
plain observation. This begins very
early; long, indeed, before the first eff
forts at speech. The aimless thrust
ing out OF limb by contact with
some external object, excites a double
sensation; that of muscular action and
that of the external object; and the
two, in future, suggest one another.
The lips and tongue may be said to be
the first inlets of knowledge, in that
they are the first vehicles of sensa-
ton. As it is natural for child to
carry all objects of which it wishes to
form a judgment to it's mouth, it in
this way receives impressions not to
open it. The great limitations of its
knowledge, at this time, may be in
ferred from the fact that it is very
long before it can locate the sensa-
ton of pain. If pin gets askew and
pricks the delicate skin, it makes no
attempt to cry out. Through such
considerations as these we may under
stand the mental position of the child
as it develops, in regard to external
nature. With the gift of speech the
urgent desire for knowledge breaks
into the verbal expression. Happy is
that mother who, approaching her
mission as the one divinely com
missioned to guide this little one,
sees in the eager questioning nothing
but desire that urges the child on in
spite of himself. 1t is healthful i'm
pulse, but one that can be checked by
petulance, irritability and indiffer-
ence.
Have patience then with
The noise of children.
1t is unreasonable to expect children
to cease importunate questioning; ii
is quite as much, if not moro so, to
ask them to keep their restless bodies
quiet. Development and growth
come through exercise. Muscles to
grow must, therefore, be used, and
the stimulus to this is constant. In
the same manner are the lungs de-
veloped, and a due rate of chest ex-
pansion preserved. The noise at
tendant upon this process is at times
discordant, and CRATES upon the
nerves; but it is conservative proc
oss, and within judiclous limits
should not be interfered upon. Baby

heard proelaiming that we are travelling
the wrong road. Slowly, indeed, but
surely the world is coming to under
stand that the evils they see and suffer
are not the result of the working out of
natural laws, and therefore beyond the
power OF man to remedy, but aye really
due to the transgression Of those laws,
and to be cured by obeying them.-Ex.
The truth is simply this, when it
comes to any comparisons between the
two countries: England is doing her
very best to quietly disencumber herself
from the burden Of aristocracy, and we
IN America (and especially in New
York; are doing our very best to make
a plutOcracy aristocratic. Foreigners
come to US and marvel that they never
meet our distinguished" people any
where, except in their libraries and stu
dos. 1t is doubtful if the late General
Sherman, one of the most brilliant sol
diers that ever lived, was eyer even in
vitedI to Patriarch's Ball in his life, and
it is equally doubtful if he would have
gone if invited for among his many v1r-
tues General Sherman was surely man
who abhorred gilded braggadocio.-

THE NINETY AND NINE.

There are ninety and nine that live aud die,
In hunger and want and cold
That one may rcvel in luxury,
And be Tapped in its silken fold;
The ninety and nine in their novels bare
The one iii palace With riches rare.
They toll in the fields the ninety and nine;
For the fruits of our mother earth;
They dig and delve in the dusky mine
And bring its hid treasures forth
But the wealth released by their sturdy blows
To the hands of the one forever flows.
BY the sweat of their brows the desert blooms,
And the forest before them falls
Their labor has builded humble homes,
And cities with lofty halls.
But the one Owls cities and homes and lands,
While the ninety ana nine have empty hands
But the night so dreary and dark and long
At last shall the morning bring;
And over the land the VictoT's song
OF the ninety and nine shall ring
And echo aiar from zone to zone,
Rejoice for labor shall have its own

Australia Dissolves the Tie Binding Her to
England.
LONDON, March 3I.-The Australian
federation is i'll session. Although its
members have protested a desire not to
layishly copy the constitution of the
United States, they have SO far followed
that instrument faithfully, and in some
respects the debates strongly remind one
of the jealous interest displayed in the
convention that framed the American
institution The larger states have
shown the same unwillingness to agree
to an equal representation in the upper
house to the smaller states, using the
same argument in respect to population,
but have yielded the point for all that.
The federal union will have charge Of
the customs and the excise, and, almost
in the language of the American consti-
tuition, all rights not delegated are to be
reserved to the states. At the same time,
while practically declaring Australia in
dependent, the speeches overflow with
loyalty to the queen, and if these utter
ances mean anything, the tie to Great
Britain will remain unbroken, perhaps
or the reason that it will not be felt.

AN HEIRESS GONE.
Peter Rumpf's Servant Girl Mystic
riously Disappears, and Foul Play
Is Suspected.
She Had Large Estates in Germany
Which Have Not Been Divid-
ed--Other Heirs.
She Was Dogged by an Unknown
Man--No Clues Obtainable--The
Police Notified.

Has Mrs. Mary Grundler been alb
Quoted and then murdered? This is
the question that is asked in whisper
in the neighborhood of 3l9 West Third
street. Seven weeks ago Mrs. Grundler
applied at an employment agency for
work and was directed to Mrs. Peter
Rumpf, at $40 W Third street. Spokane.
Little is known of her past history.
She spoke but little English, and was
very reserved and conservative as to her
family relations.
She is said to be well connected and
her relatives in Germany have been
notified OF her disappearance.
y little over year ago she left her
husband and five children and came to
this country by the advice of her father.
Trouble with her husband caused her
to seek divorce, which is considered
crime and a lasting disgrace on the good
name of any family in Germany. The
fruits OF their union were four girls and
one boy. Mrs. Grundler before leaving
provided for one boy and one girl and
left the other three to the tender mer-
cies of her husband, the youngest of
whom is now cared for by friend at
Stuttgart, Germany.
Leaving her native home and friends.
she landed at San Francisco and from
there came to Spokane. She seldom
went anywhere. Tuesday afternoon of
election day she told Mrs. Rumpf she
was going to dry goods store on How
ard street to buy some thread, and was
given fifty cents by that lady with which
to buy stamps at the postofTice. Since
then she has not been seen, and her
friends firmly believe she has met with
foul play.
The fact has also been revealed that
she applied to German lawyer in this
city to sign certain papers, which would
be forwarded to her solicitors in Ger
many, authorizing them to proceed with
her divorce case. Proceedings would
have been taken before, but her father
compelled her while in Germany to
abandon the case and come to America
so the gOssips OF the village would think
the matter settled.

Lower Freight Rates.

The following appeared in the Press
dispatches of April Z:
1t is announced at the department to-
day that the secretary has decided that
domestic goods taken from ports in the
United States by the Canadian Pacific
to Revelstoke, B. c., may be transferred
from cars at that point under supervis-
ion of customers officers to American
yesse Is for transportation down the Co.
lumbia river to Kettle Falls. Wash.
1t means that the Canadian Pacific
has at last gained entrance to this city,
that it will be solicitor for freight ship
ments, and that the beginning of the
end of unjust and oppressive freight
rates is near at hand Wherever the
Canadian Pacific has entered into COM
petition with the american lines it has
revolutionized freight rates. It has to
d. this in order to get business.

Encore. encore"
Though the dangers past,
And the woman is safe
On her feet at last
Though the ropes are swinging
High over the net,
And swinging and clinging
And trembling yet,
So near to the gas
And its dazzling light,
Right over the mass
At a terrible height
The people are calling
Their sickly refrain;
The leap was appalling
They'll have it again!
When once they see danger
They're bound to want more!
"Encore. encore!
Encore! encore!w
"Encorel encoren
She has heard the cry,
And she's climbing once more
To the platform high,
So near to the gas
And its dazzling light.
Right over the mass,
At terrible height!
From bar to rope,
And from rope to bar,
With many a hope
That the ends not far,
She's swinging and clinging,
Not dare to pause,
While the people are singing
Their song of applausel
There's a grasp for breath
In the poisonous air,
\ warning of death,
And look of despair!
There cry near the roof,
Then a thud on the floor!
And the people 90 silently
Our at the door
Go silently shrinking
Away from the Isgrii,
Not speaking, but thinking
Of somebody's fall
OF a woman who died
In response to the roar,
Encore! encore!
Encore! encore"
