ting to-day of the international None
tary Conference Sir Guilford D. Houlds-
worts, one of two delegates represent
ing the Indian Government, protested
against the obstruction offered by the
British delegates at this aud previous

the situation in Great Britain had
greatly changed since November %,
the date of the first meeting Of the con-
ference, and he suggested the confer
ence adjourn for a week to enable the
British Government 10 reconsider the
whole question. He gave as the reason
for the change in the situation in
Great Britain the statement in favor Of
bi-metallism made by Archbishop
Walsh, Of Dublin. The resolutions
were adopted by the agricultural con-
ference held q few days ago in London,

SECURING QUARTERS.
They made a Raid.

CHEYENNE, WYo., December 10
Twilight was just gathering Sunday
evening when two heavily armed men,
dressed like cowboys, rode into the
town OF Gillette bent on making raise
at the point Of their weapons. The WIS.,
itors forced their ponies into Tony
Christians saloon and dance hall, aud
Tony trembllngly handed the robbers
$3.50 and four pistols. Five other men
and q couple of women in the place
were also robbed. After taking a
drink and treating everybody,
the visitors rode to the street.
One of them proposed to
rob the postofiice, and rode inside the
little place. He found girl behind the
window, and when she told him there
was no money on hand he believed
her and rode out. The pair raided an
other saloon and grocery store. By the
time the robbers were ready to leave
Christian had a small posse organized.
The highwaymen did not care for a
fight and rode off in q hurry, going
south, with bullets flying after them.

The Habit OF Obedience.

The habit of obedience is the first
one the child forms. Is it too much to
say that it is the most important habit
of its whole lite? If the baby has 4
wise and an intelligent mother, ii eats
sleeps, wakes, takes the air, and per
forms all the functions of life by rule
The mother is the voice of God to heI
child, and in so far as she succeeds IL
having her child hear her voice anC
obey it she deserves TO be the voice O
God TO her child. Beginning thus il
the very earliest stages of infancy t
train the child i'm habits of implicit
obedience, there is no hard afterworE
to be done. The child's will bent il
the direction of the mothers will new
er needs to be broken. Contests may
arise us the years 90 on, but they viii
have but one termipptiOn, submission
To the mothers will. They should
have but this one termination. AS the
child grows. the mother teaches 1t t(
heed the internal voice, which Is M the
heart Of 'every man that coneth into
the world.'
The son of Quaker lady came to
her one day, asking advice rs to whal
he should do in difficult situation
"What does the voice within thee
say" said the mother; ''follow thai
voice, it will not lead thee wrong
That voice may deal only in negatives
as did the demon of Socrates, but Il
carefully needed it never leads astray
If the training of Il child has been
neglected in this respect, the best way
we know of to bring it into right rela
tiOnS to obedience is to secure the
child's attention. and then issue the
word of command but once. Do no
repeat it, but look steadfastly at tn,
child until he obeys.
We knew a lady years ago who uscC
to practice her children in obedience
without their knowledge, simply to
keep them up To the ideal standard
When they We're engaged in occupf
tions particularly delightful to them
she would call them To her and send
them on errandS, which having per
formed they were permitted 10 return
to their occupations again. This dlscl
pline was, Of course, only occasionally
exercised, but it answered Il most adj
mirable purpose. A happier family OF
children than these were we have not
seen.
God promises in His word to guide
us with His eye. The mother who has
right conceptions of her duty to hel
children, and right methods Of per-
forming them, will not only "guide
them with her eye" during childhood
and youth, but through the perils OF
young womanhood and young mail
hood until they are settled in all ways
of right living.

In its present mood Of inattention to
business the House is liable to pass

claimed that niue d, the Government

though i is difficult to see why settlers
should have taken up for agriculture
lands so wet as to be, in the language
Of the grant, unfit for agriculture, 2
The pending bill provides for the
payment to the States of the whole
purchase price of lands thus sold up to
the aggregate sum of 100000. II
is an absurd bill on its face. Ifthe
claim of the States is good up to ST.
100000 it is for good as many more mil
lions as the Government may have re.
ceived for lands that did not belong tc
to it.

Of swinging damages against the Uni

getting the,money back which he was
obliged to pay because of the Geneva

better Of this plan Of settlement. As

Some experiments conducted In 1880 q

yersity on the removal Of tassels from .
part Of the growing corn, yielded very
beneficial results. A gain Of fifty per

showing led to further tests at the Ohio
station at the Ohio State University.
Thirty-two rows OF corn, running over
quite uniform land, were selected upon TO
make the trial. On August /, the tassels
were pulled from each alternate row.
It was found that the unmerchantable
corn from the four plots from which thu
tassels had been removed averaged
twenty-six per cent, while the average
from the other four rows was twenty-one
per cent. understandable. The caicula-
