PerniciOus Literature.
From journal of Education.

Too much can hardly be said of the in
fluences of pernicious literature upon the
children of school age. The Philadel-
phia board of education has recently dis
cussed this question with much vigor
and wisdom. During one month recent
ly there were 237 arrests in that city, of
boys between the ages of and 10,
charged with larceny, burglary. and
other misdemeanors. 1t is currently be-
lieved that the dime novel and similar
literature plays no inconsiderable part
in producing these characters. 1t is not
generally known how large revenue
comes to news dealers from literature,
which, to put put it mildly, is not whole
some. 1t is not the North American
Review, the Forum, the Atlantic, Har-
per's, Scribner's, or the Century that
furnish the sinews of war to the news
agent, but other and undesirable books
and periodicals. There is earnest need
of immediate attention and systematic
effort of the creation of a taste for good
reading. In this the public school must
play an important part, and it cannot
arouse itself any too quickly. The
Bethlehem, Pa. Times well says: every
town or school or family ought to make
it its business to place in the hands of
rising generations, wholesome, hearty,
helpful books. Indian fights and stage
coach robberies are notexactly the prop
er thing for young human nature's
daily food. But teach boy to revel in
SCOTS romances, or Dickens carica-
lures, or let him learn to love Noah
Brooks. and J. L. Trowbridge, and w.
H. G.. Kingston. Then let him have
plenty of these books always at his
elbow, and ten to one he will fling away
.sblood and thunder" novels and am
billions then and there. There is no time
to be lost in this matter.

BASE BALL.

Games for the Past Week have been Inter-
esting and Lively.
The games of the league during the
past week have been characterized by un-
usual interest on the part of the public.
UP to last week Wednesday Boston had
made such phenomenal record that the
whole country had become excited and
when the first defeat came Wednesday
the question was, show many will they
lose?" They fell back but not enough
to be behind yet. Cleveland stands the
same with Chicago next and New York
fifth. 1t is too early yet to predict what
the final result will be, but it is certain
that no league club is playing any bet
ter than Boston. The standing of the
league clubs is given below:

Does a Two-Year- Old Baby Pay?

esting age? Sometimes | think not.
thought so yesterday when my own baby
slipped into my study and "scrubbed'
the carpet and his best white dress with
my bottle of ink. He was playing in the
coal-hod ten minutes after clean dress
was put ON him, and later in the day he
pasted so cents worth of postage-stamps
on the parlor wall and poured a dollars
worth of the choicest "White Rose' per-
fumery out of the window, ''To see it
wain.'
Then he dug out the center of nicely
baked loaf of cake, aud was found in the
middle of the dining-room table with
the sugar-bowl between his legs and
most of the contents in his stomach.
He has already cost over 800 in doc
tor bills, and l feel that | am right in at
tributing my few gray hairs to the mis-
cry | endured walking the floor with
him at night during the first year of his
life.
What has he ever done to pay me for
that?
All! hear his little feet pattering
along out in the hall. l hear his little
ripple of laughter, because he has es-
capped from his mother and has found his
way up to my study at forbidden hour.
But the door is closed. The worthless
little vagabond can't get in, and l won't
open it for him. No, 1 won't. | can't
be disturbed when I'm writing. He can

open the door. In he comes with out
stretched little arms, with shining eyes,
with laughing face. l catch him up into
my arms, and his warm, soft little arms
go around my neck, the not very clean

baby voice says sweetly-

Does he pay?
Well, guess he does!

A TarantuIa.

F. B. BoswOrth has on exhibition a
tarantula which extends over circle of
five inches in diameter. 1t was captured
in bunch of bananas in A. Ii. Bisselrs

huge spider, deep brown in color, Gov
cred with hairs varying in length on
different parts of the body. The legs
are of deeper color with five joints. The
body is two inches or so in length, dark
below, lighter above. The bite is sure

There are now cables on almost ever

There are now cables on almost every
sea and ocean bed, the total length of
wire laid being nearly $4,000 nautical
miles. There are nine cables connecting
Europe and America, the first of which
was laid dating from 1858. So great,
also, has the advance been in the opera
tive aspect of cable telegraphy, that
practically no more difficulty is felt in
repairing submarine lines than in attend
ing to defects in those on land. 1t is
seldom any serious arrangement of the
Geographic system takes place. When
it does it is of comparatively short dura-
Jion.

The Wind Blew Chill

A fine rain came Sunday which was
needed to lay the dust and start the
grass. The top of the ground had be-
come dry and vegetation was retarded in
it's growth in consequence. Monday was
characterized by strong westerly wind
which drove the dust in clouds. The
temperature fell all night and Tuesday
M orning snow flew for an hour or more,
and the wind was cold as December.
Such are the vagaries of our Vermont
climate.

PALMER ELECTED sENA TOR.

The election of Gen. John M. Palmer,
Democrat, TO the United States Senate by
the Illinois Legislature to succeed Hon. G.
B. Farwel, Republican, is a happy ending
of prolonged contest, the balloting having
been continuous daily since January 18th.
General Palmer was named by the Illinois
Democratic State Convention last year as
the party choice for Senator, and made a
vigorous canvass. The result was that the
Democratic majority on the legislative tick
ct was about 10000. Owing to an unequal
division of the legislative districts, however,
the Legislature stood 101 straight Demo
crats, 100 straight Republicans, 2 Farmers
Alliance Democrats and / Farmers ALI
ance Republican. The Alliance men voted
through the prolonged struggle for A. j.
Streeter, Farmers Alliance man, whilst
the Republicans voted for Oglesby, the eau
Gus nominee Upon the last ballot the AL
lance Democrats voted for Palmer and
elected him

,JOBBERY AND ROBBERY.

AS general rule there is ample reason
for finding fault with the deeds or omissions
of every expiring legislature, but the Fifty
first Congress, which expired last week, has
distanced all previous records for scandal
oas jobbery and spoliation. 1t has sacked
and looted the Treasury with as shameless
front as corsair ever showed in emptying
merchantman or treasure ship.
After the elections of last November had
set the seal Of public condemnation on the
responsible majority in House and Senate,
the Republicans grew perfectly reckless and
resolved to distribute favors lavishly on the
petted claimants who furnish their cam
paign funds
The result is that the legislation oi the
Fifty first Congress not only expends about
S200,000000 more than did any preceding
Congress, but also mortgages the Govern
ment for five times that sum, TO be paid in
the near future.
A pleasant carnival it certainly is for the
pension sharks and for "poor men" like
Gould and Huntington, who get the cash,
but it is by no means pleasant for the toll
ing millions who must pay the taxes. Make
no mistake aboat it, every penny OF these
wasted millions must be sweated out of
wages and industry, thereby increasing the
cost of living and clappng new mortgages
on farms. II Federal taxes were levied di-
rectly, as local taxes on real estate are as
sessed and levied, the Republican party
would not carry three States in the Union
at the next national election.
And one Of the worst features of this prof
ligacy is that it will provoke wild and dam
gerous schemes of reprisal.

A PROUD RECORD.

The Democratic minority in the Fifty
first Congress made a magnificent record
IL resisted the passage Of the Mckinley bill
with vigor and intelligence which deserv.
ed, if i, did not win, success. In its fight
against the force bill il exhibited the high
est qualities of genuine Americanism and
earned the everlasting gratitude of the coun
try, delivering it from the greatest peril that
had threatened it since Its beginning
In It's resistance to the subsidy steal,
which was pressed by as powerful aud un-
scrupulous lobby as ever swarmed within
the halls Of the National Capitol, it present
ed an inspiring spectacle of untlinching in.
tegrity and honorable fidelity to the inter
.sts OF the people.
The Democrats in the House covered
themselves all over with glory in their long
and dauntess resistance to the usurpations
and tyrannies and brutalities of the burly
monarchist from Maine, Thomas b. Reed.
All in all, from first To last, the Demo
cratic party in the Fifty first Congress was
one which the party and the whole people
may contemplate with pride for all time to
come. No parliamentary minority ever
commended SO persistently and successfully
against such fearful odds. Ii the Democrats
in this Congress had been less patriotic, less
,urageous and less honest the Republican
majority of that bo iy would have succeed
ed in destroying local self government in
the States and in turning the treasury over
to the tender mercies of the Gould Hunting.

i. A USURPER OF PO WEI.

The American House of Representatives
has not boosted Sir Thomas Moore in its
Speakers chair; but noteworthy men have
been speakers. Trumbull, Sedgwick and
Macon have each served for three terms
Henry Clay was Speaker six terms, Andrew
Stevenson, of Virginia, served four terms;
Polk, Winthrop, Colfax, Blaine, Kerr Ran
dali, Carlisle are not obscure names in the
history of their country or of their parties.
Nor were any of them deficient in partisan
fire on occasion; but as Speaker, one and
all at least commanded admiration for his
abilities, and none failed to win the com.
mon encomium of men at the close of the
terms in which they presided over the de-
alterations of the House. None os them
failed to impress their contemporaries with
sense of personal and official dignity in
the Speakers chair. No one among them
lowered its prestige or made the country
ieel that its national assembly was not wor.
thy of the respect of mankind
This fortune was reserved for the petty
man whom the Republican party elected
Speaker of the Congress now dead. To him
belongs the distinction of lowering the
character of the House, degrading its ira.
ditions, and making the Congress of the
United States place of sullen submission
To usurped power and unconstitutional
menace. For him history will write a new
chapter in legislative annals Low in breed
ing, vulgar in department, bull dogsh in
tenacity OF wrong, revolution might have
been precpitated had not Democrats whom
he insuIted and habitually robbed of con
s;itutional power and parliamentary privi-
lege proved their patriotism by their pa.
iience. For him is written the first time
the humiliating but well-earned refusal OF
his fellow members to vote the Speaker
Unanimous thanks on retiring from an office
high and respected until he degraded and
corrupted it.
The party that elected the despised and
vulgar Reed will find his bloody instruc-
tons coming back TO torment them. The
precedents he endeayored to establish con
tain no principle. His rulings will go to
the oblivion that awaits their author. They
will serve to remind the republicans of the
Congress in which the country and the
Speakers chair were lowered by "Tom
Reed"
