John Robb, of Kingston, suggests
to the Ontario Minister of Education
that all public school children of Canada
should wear outer garments of the same

The Committee of the Executive of
the United Synagogue in London has

OUR YOUNG READERS.
WHAT BABY WRITES.

The baby sits Mt the table there
with pen in her dimpled hand,
And she reads the funny crooked lines
As II she could understand.
She Is writing tory same as mamma"
And she laughs in baby glee;
II could read what the baby writes
what would the story be?
How the oldest doll was naughty and cross
And left her work undone,
And would not study her lesson. book,
But wasted her time in fun,
And would not mind her little mamma,
But was rs naughty as she could be;
How she went to walk one day on the beach,
And was drowned in the deep blue sea.
How kitty came to mammals house
From nobody knows where
And the baby made her little bed
In the very best rocking chair.
So sad story as this, indeed.
think you have never heard;
That kitty, though all were kind to her
She killed the baby bird
How baby chicken fell one day
Into little pool;
And they put him into the dollys bed,
And wrapped him in cotton wool;
And went on a rocking horse to town
To bring him the doctor quick
With bitter powders and little pills,
For the chicken was very sick.
How there was once little nest
Up in tall green tree;
little straw round like a cup,
Just big enough for three
Three little darling baby birds
In cozy little heap;
And the wind rocked the cradle up and
down,
And rocked the babies to sleep.
How an angel came one night next door,
Straight down out of the sky;
And went straight back, and all the folks
Heard something cry, and cry;
And twas baby sure enough,
She wore long white dress;
And brought baby basket down,
And they called her little Bess.
These are the stories the baby writes
At least fancy So
As over and over the blotted page
Her hurrylng fingers CO.
She sells them to mamma when they're done
And what does she get9 you say.
A thousand kisses, heartful of love-
And that is the best of pay

Cloth Evening Dresses,

A Partisan fad that has found some
favor In fashionable circles in this
country is the use of cloth in com
bination with sheer gauzes and other
materials for evening wear. The
principal material used is maize
colored cloth. The trained skirt
is of cloth and is finished in front
and at the sides with narrow
founce headed with jet embroidery.
The corselet waist is fitted to the figure
with perfection of cut, and is trimmed
with jet and worn with guimpe of
black jetted net. The new cloths for
evening wear are lustrous broadcloths,
as light in weight and soft as Suede
kid. They are shown in the most fas-
cinating array of rich colors and deli
cate tints. Fashionable tailors also
show plates in which white cloth is
combined with satin and sheer mate.

What Became of the Pet of the House,
hold and the Dried Beef.
Two things were suddenly missing
one day.
One of them was the baby.
He could not have gone far, for he
wasn't a year and half old.
Grandma thought he was upstairs
with mamma.
Mamma thought he was in the kitchen
with Hannah.

him to sleep in his crib,
Grandpa came In just as they missed
the baby, and without q word to scare
any Of them, took his cane and hurried
down through the garden rs fast as he
could, for the river ran just below. To
be sure. baby had never walked quar-
ter part as far,
Mamma went out to explore the barn,
Hannah hunted through the lower part
of the house, while grandma toiled up
into the chamber and the attic, all call
ing Baby! Baby"
The other missing thing was the piece
of dried beef, all there was in the
house.
Hannah was sure that she laid it on
the kitchen table. Passing through
grandma's bedroom, Hannah heard n
little noise like a mouse gnawing, nib

pose to them as man with mother
in-law, for men usually like to pose as
something and he was tired of being
simply good fellow" So he began
to take a great many of his dinners
downtown and stay out late at night,
telling Alice and her mother that his
business worried him terribly and
needed his constant attention. lie

troubles, but he talked about them
great deal and got lot of sympathy at
home.
One day Alice's mother went down to
her home on business errand. 1t was
rather mysterious affair, but Alice
was too much taken up with baby to
notice her mothers nervousness, and
nobody else paid any attention to her.
At night she returned, pale and tired,
with little oilskin bag pinned securely
in her pocket.
he telephoned Alice that business was
pressing, and then he went to the thea
ter with some Of his friends,
The next day the old lady prepared
for another expedition. She hated to
bother Alice, so she set off alone with
out telling her plans. She was not used
to the city and after many mistakes
and much walking she reached Jacks
office. She was shown into his private
room. 1t did not look as though he
were suffering for want of money.
There were soft rugs and luxurious
chairs and the box of cigars on the
table was Of the very best. Two of his
| friends were with him and the air was
dense with smoke. A bottle of wine
stood open and it must have been that
the fumes of that had made him little
dull, for he could scarcely comprehend
that his mother-in-law stood before
him.
When at last he did understand it and
she had whispered her errand flush OF
shame went from his forehead to his
very toes. She was sorry for him.
She, whose name he had made jest
with these friends of his; she was afraid
that she had been burden an extra
expense to him. She knew his business
worried him, and she had mortgaged

HINDU BABIES.
When They Are Girls There Is Trouble in

When They Are Girls There Is Trouble in
the Household. 1872.
A Hindu baby girl is an unwelcome
addition to the family; her birth is sup
posed to be no blessing, but curse and
sign of divine wrath. Rukhmabai
says that when the new born baby is a
girl ''the father crashes his teeth and
stamps his feet. The mother is sorely
disappointed, and although her tender
ness may bring its sure wealth of love,
she curses both herself and the child.
There is, moreover, notion that wo-
men who bear only girls are sinful, and
this intensifies the grief" Another
Hindu woman gives the same testimony.
Ramabai (high cast Hindu widow says
that in no country in the world is
mother so laden with care and anxiety
in anticipation of the birth of a child as
as in India. All her hope of happiness
depends upon the sex of the unborn
child. A wife who bears daughters and
no sons is frequently put away By her
husbands husbands sometimes threaten
their wives that, II the coming child Is o
daughter, the offending mother will be
henceforth bauished from the society Of
her lord and master; new wife will be
installed in her place and the offending
wife will be made into the servant and
drudge of the household Ramabai does
not merely make general statements to
this effects, but gives several special
instances that have come within her
own knowledge, among her own friends
and acquaintance, of this punishment
having been melted out to mothers who
gave birth to girls Mothers try tc
avert the bad luck of having daughter
by superstitious ceremonies previous to
the birth of the child.

THE THIEF DISCOVERED.
The True Story of Very Bright and
Cunning Colt.

Cunning Colt.
Marks father has six colts.

The fences are down, but the apple
trees are large and tall, and Marks ia
Their thought if he gathered his apples
early the colts could only get the wind

the lower branches.
But the big red Baldwins and the
russets kept growing less and less on

all the apples were gone, even those
that were out of reach of the colts.
"Thieves are at work in that or
chard," Mark heard his father say one
day. But they do not come in the
night, else there would be tracks in the
dew; still, every day, there are bushels
of apples taken"

may be needed Taking the tin-plate in
dustry as an example, it was found that the
only thing lacking in the United States was
men skilled in the work. The industry was
new and there we're comparatively few
wOrkmen in the United States who knew
anything about it. The ruling of the Treas
ury Department that the law should not be
construed to prevent the engaging of skilled
laborers in Wales under contract to come over
and work in our new tin-plate factories
cannot be considered as inimical to the
interest of American workingmen. No
American laborer will be displaced by the
employment of the men from Wales, as none
are now engaged in that industry. But
when the industry is established Americans
will learn it. Other industries have been
built up In the United States by the employ
ment at first of men who had learned their
trade in foreign countries. 1t is expected
that free-trade journals will attempt to con-
vince American workmen that the establish
ment of new industry by the aid of foreign
skilled labOrers is a blow at American labor.
Nothing seems to inspire our free-trade
friends to higher order of Intellectual
endeavor than an apparent chance to prove
that the establishment of new industries | n
the United States will prove Improbable.

PROPOSED JOINT DEBATE.

The Ohio Republican committee have had
in contemplation series of joint debates in
which Mckinley was to be ptted against
Campbell, Foraker against Hill and Sher-
man against Cleveland. The Chicago
Herald objects to this scheme partly be-
cause Mr.. Cleveland is not trained stump
speaker and partly because the Ohio Demo-
cratic platform is not acceptable to the
national Democracy. The silver plank call
ing for free coinage is especially objection
able TO Eastern Democrats. One can readily
believe that this proposition for joint de-
bate emanated from Republican rather than
Democratic councils. The Republicans are
Solld on the tariff and silver issues. They
are content to abide by the decision Of the
people on the present tariff, and also to con-
slider the existing silver act finality until
experience shall show that it will not ac-
compllsh lis purpose. The Democrats are
divided on both issues. The New York Sun
says that State cannot be carried on platform
demanding free silver coinage and a tariff
fer revenue. Such prominent Democratic
papers as the New York Times, Boston
Herald and Providence Journal while ac-
cepting tariff for revenue, positively reject
free silver On the whole joint debate
would not be profitable to the Democrats.

THE SILVER SURPLUS.

A New York dispatch says there are only
about 100000 ounces of silver bullion in
sight and out of sight. This is less than
two months purchase by the Government
Last year we were importing silver; this
year we are shipping it. Under the old law
of coming $4,000 900 worth of silver month
the supply exceeded the demand. There
was gradual increase of the surplus. which
naturally served TO prevent an advance in
the market price. The increase in Govern
ment purchases from little more than 2.000,-
600 ounces to 1900, 900 turns the scale in favor
OF demand. There is want now for more
silver than we are producing. The example
of our Government seems to be followed to
an extent by European Governments. The
dispatch says there is a good demand for
silver on the Continent for coinage purposes.
