ANY proud child feels degraded by IL. IL
should BIZ a case OF dire necessity wh hen you
find fault with a child before strangers.
Ard to destroy child's pride IS to do him
an irreparable injury. Take advantage u
some intimate hour when parent and child
are alone together, and then let the parent
tenderly explain how the child has behaved
IN the day before or that morning, and
why the child's conduct was wrong, and
how il should have behaved and show the
child that the parent respects Il and loves
il and believes in its capacityto DO all good
things This will have ten times the effect
Of punishment, when the child Is IN q state
Of excitement and the parent usually an
gry.
Get in the habit Of explaining tae reason
Of things TO your child. Let there be A.
little confusion ia its mind a. possible.
Above all, keep the fact Of your love up
permost in the chi!d's mind end iet 10 I'M

Were not the subject 50 serious there
would be something irresistibly comic in
the predicament in which the senate
finds itself in dealing with the election
bill. Tine measure has been so botched
by thimblerigging in committees that no
one knows what it really contains,
further than that it is bundle of incon-
gruities, including some provisions that
were stricken out by the senate, and not
containing some that were inserted.
Senator Hoar has no less than twenty
seven amendments to propose, but no
one can tell where his amendments. or
those of any one else, fit in. and Republi-
cans and Democrats alike all go stumb-
ling about in the dark. 1t wouldn't be a
bad idea 10 side track the thing again

TRUE AND FALSE SOCIALISM.

Cardinal Manning, in answer to a
stupid allegation that he is Socialist"
has been discussing the subject of social
ism in an epigrammatical way that is
very telling. He says that it is much
easier to define what socialism is not,
than what it Is, and that modern social
ism identifies social evils with society
itself, and kills the patient to cure his
maladies."
Distinguishing true social science
from socialistic abuse, the learned and
practical prelate lays down the doctrine
that 'the correction of social evils
should be conservative of the life and
health of society" Illustrating his the
sis from the recent history of his coun-
try, he cites the Poor law, the alb
clifton of the Corn laws, the laws OF
succession to real property and the in
come tax as Just social laws, founded
upon the first principles of human soci-
ETY., as strictly conservative of the com
mOnwealth. ANY one, he says, who
calls such legislation socialistic in the
opprobrious sense does not know what
Socialism means. Nor would further
conservative application of the principle
of such legislation be epen to the charge
of dangerous or revolutionary Social
ism.
The lucid and candid discussion of this
absorbing topic by the surviving English
cardinal demonstrates his worthiness to
wear the controversional mantle that
rested with so much grace and dignity
on the shoulders of his late colleague,
Cardinal Newman.

We are sorry 10 note the regularity

the golden rule in politics is an irides-
cent dream is confirmed. In the good
old days of the grand old party such dis
tinguished Democrats as John Martin.
Tom Fenlon and George W. Click were
each made chairman of the judiciary
committee, and once or twice a Demo
crat has been made chairman of the
ways and means committee. Today
such a lawyer as w. c. Webb is made
second on the judiciary committee to a
farmer, while Sam Wood is made clerk
of the committee. As Sans clerical
ability is about equal to that of an old
COW, this means that sam is TO be chair
man of the committee, and will probably
furnish the committee with its law. 1t
is the first time the house. solely to be
unfair, has been compelled TO go outside
of Its own membership 10 set chair

restaurant in Sixth avenue a few nights

$1.95. He had not a penny of change,
and he handed his waiter a two dollar
bill with which to pay his check With
out waiting for the five cents change he
started to leave the place. His wife and
himself had got as far as the door when
the waiter overlook them and rendered

1t is little wonder men are so cross
when they get sick. When a woman
gets sick, she finds consolation in wear
ing a very pretty tea gown, and in look
ing pale and interesting There is no
such comfort for the men. They are
unshaven, their clothes are uglier than
ever, no ore likes to be around them,
they are so disagreeable looking, and
they become the crossest things ON earth.
Maybe if they could frizz their hair and
wear pretty wrappers, they would be
better natured than they are.

A Wool and Snow Dietary.

4 seasonable yarn comes from Beaver
Falls, Pa. Farmer George Wilson, who
lives in Franklin township, is the nara
tor. Three of his sheep were missed
during the snow storm the night before
Christmas, and were not found again
until last Friday, when a farm hand
discovered them in hollow, where the
snow had drifted to a depth of twenty
feet \ hole was shoveled into the drift,
and the sheep were found safe and sound,
after their twelve days fast. 'One Of
the strangest things of the whole affair
was that they had not particle of wool
on their backs. Their hunger had
driven them to eat every roll of wool on
each others backs. They had also eaten
such a quantity of snow, which, together
with the heat from their bodies, made u
veritable chamber or cave. The cave
was twenty feet in circumference by five
feet high. At last reports the animals
were all doing well, though they seem
to be things of great interest to the other
sheep, which recognize their fellow, but
are unable, apparently to account for the
entire absence of wool.

most effectually in an encounter of
