DO CONSEQUENCES AFFECT DIsOBE-
DIENCE?

1t was a rule in the Winthrop family
that the children must be at home by six
o'clock, the supper hour. Whenever this
rule was transgressed, an explanation
was expected. One night Fred Winthrop
might have been seen running up the
street with Jack Thorp, his boon COM
panion, just as the half past six o'clock
train went by. He was running because
he knew he was very late, and he went
into the house expecting reproof, per-
haps punishment. 1t so happened that
supper was unusually late that night,
and the family were just seating them
selves at the table as Fred entered Mrs.
Winthrop was in excellent spirits, and
took no notice of Fred's hardness, she
was so occupied in giving her husband
an account of her afternoons expert
ences. Fred was surprised, but bOy-like,
he said nothing. Two nights later he
came again at the same hour. But this
time his reception was quite different.
1t had been one of those DAYS when
everything goes wrong. Mrs. Winthrop
was tired and anxious to get the children
to bed early, as she had promised to 90
out in the EVENING" with her husband.
Supper was nearly over when Fred en-
tered. In his haste he had neglected to
wash his hands and face, and as he sat
down he Jared the table in an exasper-
ating way. 1t was not in pleasant tone
of voice that his mother said: "What
does make you so clumsy, Fred? And /
shouldn't think you'd come to the table
with such hands; moreover, you are
more than half an hour late, and don't
deserve any supper. What have you to
say for yourself?' 81 went to the pas
ture with Jack" said Fred, shortly.
las punishment, you must go without
cake the rest of the week, and tonight
go to bed as soon as you have finished
your supper" said Mrs. Winthrop, rising
from the table," 81 don't see why
have to be punished tonight. was just
exactly as late Tuesday, and you didn't

Mrs. Winthrop left the room, but
Fred's words haunted her. She Iemem.

supper was late, too, and his hardness

had made no impression on her. Some
mothers would have paid no more atten-
ton to the matter, but Mrs. Winthrop
was thoroughly conscientious, and meant
to deal Justly with her children. Fred
is right, she thought. Why is il any
worse for him to be late this, time than
the other? 1t is simply more inconven-
lent for me. Then she remembered that
at dinner Fred had Jared the table in
the same way, and received no reproof.
Furthermore, she recalled many in
stances in which she had failed to notice
a disobedience, If no unpleasant conse-
quences had followed. She fastened
back to the dining-room.
''My dear boy" she said to Fred, at
wasn't any worse fer you to be late to-
night than the other time; so please con-
slider your punishment for that night in
stead of CHS, and forgive me for seeming
unjust. We both need to remember that
disObedience is the same, whatever the
consequences.
How many mothers remember this and
act accordingly? A child was once told
that he must not get through wire
fence, because he would almest certainly
tear his clothes. He tried it, and sue
ceeded in getting through without in
jury. Running to the house, he said:
Mamma, l can get through wire
fence, without tearing my clothes, for
just did" 'Well, you'Ie smarter than
thought for" said his mother. Later in
the day he came in. with an ugly tear
down the leg of his trousers, showing
that his second attempt had not been as
successful as the first. This time he
was punished for disobedience. But was
not the disobedience really greater the
first time than the second?-ChriStidn at

IRISH AND ENGLISH.

There Is no anomaly in the political
world SO striking as the attitude of Irish
men in America toward the parties of
the day Their own island, as they all
frankly admit, has been emptied of pop
latiOn and brought to the verge of econ
omic exhaustion as the result of English
rule and English policy. 1t is the only
country in Europe which has not felt
the impulse of the modern industrial
movement. Its industries have been
paralyZed, its manufactures have been
destroyed, its commerce has been driven
from the seas. its cities have been drained
of their surplus population, and its peo-
pie have been forced back upon the soil
either to perish in famine times or take
refuge in Australia, Canada and the
United States. Under English rule and
free trade the island has been reduced to
the extremity of misery Irish history
during the present century has been, as
Mr. Depew said in two of his finest cpl
grams, "a mOnotOny of horrors 1.-The
paradox of nations Irishmen come to
America with resentful feeling against
England. They have an overmastering
conviction that the ruin of their beauti-
full island has been wrought by English
legislation and economic policy; yet no
sooner are they here than they ally
themselves in solid voting mass with
that political party which is in sympa-
thy with English free trade. In Ireland
it is enough for them to know what En-
glish policy is, and they vote against it
to man. In America they are well
content to do precisely what Englishmen
want them to do-to mass themselves
against the Republican party and to vote
with the democracy against protection.

THAT LITTLE TICKLING

In your throat, which makes you cough
once in awhile and keeps you constantly
clearing your throat, arises from catarrh,
and as cayarrh is constitutional dis
ease, the ordinary cough medicines all
fail to hit the spot. What you need is a
constitutional remedy like Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. Many people who have taken
this medicine for scrofula, dyspepsia,
loss of appetite, and other troubles, have
been surprised that it should cure this
troublesome cough But to know the
actual cause of the cough is to solve the
mystery. Many cases of consumption
can be traced back to the neglect of some
such slight affection as this. Consump-
ton can be controlled in it's early stages,
and the effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla in
purifying the blood, building up the gen
eral health, and expelling the scrofulous
faint which is the cause of catarrh and
consumption, has restored to perfect
health many persons on whom this
dreadful disease seemed to have firm
hold.

MAPLE SUGAR BOUNTY.

The Internal Revenue Bureau is pre-
pairing to give effect to the law which
authorizes the payment of bounty upon
maple sugar. Mr.. Sewell, chief official
agent, left Washington the l4th for
New Hampshire, to consult with the col
lector of Internal Revenu as to the best
method of procedure. Upon the return
of Mr.Sewell the regulations for the de-
tail will be issued. The applications for
license to manufacture maple sugar I'M
der the provisions of the act of October
l, 1891, arranged according to the states,
are as follows: Maine, 2: New Hamp-
shire, 40; Vermont, 2517; Massachu-
sets. IA; New York S57; Pennsylvania.
1913; Maryland. So; West Virginia, 49,
Ohio, pa; Illinois, %; Michigan, 81;
Minnesota, ); Iowa, B; Wisconsin, S.;
total, 1850.
1t will be noticed that the number of
applications is but little above 1000.
The estimate of the Internal Revenue
is that there are some 20, 600 producers of
maple sugar in the United States, but
for great many reasons a large number
of the smaller producers in New Eng
land have failed to procure license. The
correspondence which has been received
by the Internal Revenue Bureau at
Washington indicates that many of these
producers have declined to ask for Ii
cense to secure the bounty for the reason
that they feared that the regulations
would be too troublesome, and that there
would be too many delays in having the
sugar weighed and inspected to enable
them to realize any considerable profit.
The impression is that the greater por-
ton of the maple sugar in New England
and in all the States will not be subject
to the cents a pound bounty for the
reason that it will not come up to the
adequate degree in the pOlariscope test.
The bulk of the sugar, it is expected, will
show by test that it is entitled to II cts.
per pound only.
The early sugar which is shipped to
the market often commands 10 cents a
pound, whereas that which is kept back
few weeks cannot bring over 10 cents.
Some of the smaller producers have fig
ured that it would be better for them to
get the higher price for the first sugar in
the market rather than to delay and to
secure smaller sum while getting a
few dollars bounty. The bounty on the
total product of some of the smaller pro-
ducers could not exceed $25 for the sea-
son. The number of applications is
much less than had been expected. Mr..
GTout of Vermont estimated, in the
speech in which he made such an earn
est appeal for the inclusion of maple SUI
gar in the bounty provision, that there
were 100000 maple sugar producers in
the United States. The Internal Rev
enue Bureau considers this estimate ex-
travagant. 1t is admitted that not more
than one in five of the producers, partic-
ularly in New England, have applied for
