Controlling the Children With Threats
Trap-DoOrs and Bears.

Controlling the Children With Threats of
Trap-DoOrs and Bears.
Some time ago there was plan suggested
among certain bright women of San Fra n
cisco for establishing a training-schOo for
nurse-maids. 1t was not put in operation,
but how much need there is of such an in
stitution in every large city, where our busy
mothers of families must often leave their
little ones to the care OF irresponsible per-
sons, is illustrated by the following account
of San Jose lady's experience In this line,
related by the News:
A lady who was very particular about
the habits and morals OF her children en-
gagged a nurse who came TO her highly rec
commended. The girl proved a perfect sue
cess. The children. who were noisy little
ones, became quiet and obedient, and their
mother marveled at the change.
One day she noticed them tiptoeing about
the house, and calling the eldest one to her
she asked her why they walked in that
manner.
''Nellie told us to, so we wont make any
noise"
but how is il you remember SO well what
Nellie tells you?"
"We're 'fraid Of the trap-doors." lisped a
younger child.
flush, SISSY She said we wasn't to tell"
" Trap-doors?" said the mother, curious
to know; what did Nellie mean?"
The child, being commanded by her
mother, reluctantly told.
" She said that there were lots and lots of
trap-doors; that she made them herself an
if we run an jump we'd fall through into a
great, deep dungeon, an nobody wouldn't
never fiIid US again"
+" &c." said the mother, "this is NeIlie's
method of keeping you quietl How did she
get you to sleep at nightp"
Bears" painted the youngest one; "big
bears that are under the bed and will come
out an eat us all up If we don't 90 to sIeep. I"
The nurse is now looking for employment.
Imagine the moral influence of such train
ing upon young minds just developing.
Children have been made towards aud fools
ere this by just such terrorizing methods of
ignorant or vicious nurse-girls.

voyage of life; therefore, in faithfully dis
charging the duties of a relationship sane
toned by God and the laws of the highest
state OF civilization, she scars above her sis
ter who barters those sacred rights simply
for the privilege of earning her own living
and spending her own earnings, thereby
tacitly admitting to the public that she has
found marriage failure and its duties too
irksome.
If the present law had always been OBJ
served, not only would many a wife now
engaged as q teacher in the public schools
be attending TO her household affairs and
her place be filled by another obliged to
work for her support and perhaps that of
helpless ones, but many weary wornOut
teacher in the department to-day would
have escaped the handicap of a shiftless
husband.
All honor to the public instructors, but do
not underrate the mother. She is mans
first teacher, and the lessons she imparts
are never forgotten; the language she uses
may not stand grammatical test, but the
memory of the most learned scholars has
time and again recalled her wise counsels
and loving messages with pleasure. In
after life the rich store-house of learning
has nothing more precious to them than the
halo that clusters around the instructions
received from a loved mother in the days of
childhood.
Wives and mothers, do not place too low
an estimate upon the browning glory Of
womanhood, nor neglect your self-impOsed
duties for the sake OF coin, ambition or in
dependence. G. A. H.

The commencement exercises of the Pres

The exercises were simple, and consisted Of

Mackenzie and sermon by Rev. I. c..
Easton, pastor of the church.
His subject WAS Inspiration and Modern
Rationalism,H which was spirited defense
Church against the assaults of the modern
school of teachers, led by German free
thinkers, and the recent utterances of DR..
Briggs of New York. After this DR.. Alex
ander announced that the faculty of the
seminary had decided TO grant diplomas for
a full theological course to Alexander
Eakin, Donald NJ Ross, Il. NJ tent and A.
Hatir; to George Z. Seroggin partial dip

who had omitted Hebrew and Creek and a
special diploma to Rev. j. II. Cornwall of
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. who
had taken one years course. in special
studies of p0st-graduate's term.
BY combination OF unforeseen circunl-
stances the diplomas could not be prepared
in time for distribution to the graduates
last evening, but they will be properly
signed and delivered to the proper persons
to-day. DIR. Alexander said the past year of
the seminary had been one of great salts
faction TO the faculty and to the students.
The next term will begin at Montgomery
Hall on the third Tuesday of September.

OUR HOUSEHOLD FOES.
A Correspondent Who Thinks Equa
Suffrage Is Near at Hand.

A Correspondent Who Thinks Equal
Suffrage Is Near at Hand.
Editor WomGn'S Column, Morning Call:
In considering the enemies to the cause of
universal suffrage the foes in our household
must not be overlooked. These are what
Mr.. Thackeray calls mems women. Hitherto
they have escaped attention, not that they
have been, unobserved, but it has seemed
unjust to punish slaves for doing their
masters dirty work. Although our eman-
eipatiOn proclamation has not been officially
announced, il is so near that we may safely
begin to take steps toward removing OBJ
Stacles in our path. For quarter Of a
century mems women have been mainly in
Strumental in keeping the cause of woman
suffrage in allegiance. The time has come
when ali women must be held morally re-
SpoHsible for their actions. No true woman
will oppose woman suffrage. Ii she is ln-
different about her own rights she will do
nothing to prevent me from getting mine.
The woman who works against woman
suffrage openly or secretly works for coin or
at the dictatiOn OF master. Ii she chooses
to shield men behind her skirts she
must take the consequences, and may the
Lord have mercy on her. Theneef0rth no
scorn can be too great, no language too
severe, no punishment meted out with too
unsparinG a hand, to fends in the form OF
women, who, to further their own base in
terestS or to retain the favor of tyrannical
and unjust men, lnJure ana Detray innocent,
helpless women. Such women must step
down from whatever pedestal schemerS may
have placed them On-Step down and out.
Politics must be purged of their influence,
the halls of legislation made fit to receive
the representatives of the mothers Of the
nation.
The signing of the emancipation procla-
nation OF the women of the land will be
comparatively easy task. President Lin
coin had the most frightful difficulties TO
encounter in freeing the black man. He
took not only his own life in his hand but
also the life of the Union. Neither has
President Harrison to encounter the diff
Guilty which President jefferson met with
such promptitude and dispatch. He broke
the law and gained an empire" Instead of
breaking the law, President Harrison has
the good fortune to find it his duty to en-
force it. WIN he have the moral courage TO
do il? Does it not appear Irresistible that
men in this enlightened age dare not set
their wives and daughters free when the
laws of the land peremptorily com mand
them so 10 do? Nj. b.

The follow ing quotation is from an article

1t is because married women do possess

Anna Margaret McCutcheon, wife of a
street-car conductor, who recently sued her
for divorce, alleging cruelty, frequent in
toxication and infdelity on her part, fled
her ans wer and a cross-c0mplaint yesterday,
in which she declares that she was all that
wife should be, while he had many quail
ties that were not desirable in husband.
His chief eccentricity. according to her state
ment, consisted In tearing off and burning
up her clothes. To this he added fire.
Quently manifested penchant for smashing
crockery and furniture.
On several occasions, she SAYS, he has also
threatened her with death, and has, on the
whole, made her life a burden of misery.
Anna forcibiy denies his statement that on
certain occasion mentioned in his complaint
she beat him while at the table, and she in
dlgnantly declares, in spite of his assertion
TO the contrary, that she was not in the habit
OF coming home at early morn with a
freshet on" Their unhappy welded life
began at SOnoma on January IL 1884.
Peter Cannon, a cigar. dealer, is plaintiff
in suit for divorce against his wife Mary
Ann. Commissioner Hoge has taken the
testimony in the case and will soon file his
report The evidence showed that she
deserted him and children for man named
Poole, who owns property aud lives in the
neighbGr hood of the Cannon house. Their
Intimacy became known TO Cannon when
he intercepted letter sent by her to Poole.
The epistle was loaded with confessions
OF love and passionate yearnlng for Poole.
The writer declared that she would die If he
went away, and avowed that she constantly
petitioned heaven to protect him from the
snares of this wicked world. The couple
have six children and property estimated to
be worth $4,000.
