A Sample.

The governments of Belgium and
France have control of the telephone
service there. The telephone rates be-
tween the two great cities, Paris and
Brussels, were complained of as too
high. Agents were appointed by the
two governments to investigate the
matter. The result is a reduction of
tolls, by one-half, for a five minutes
conversation. If the system had been
owned by private corporations they
would have raised the price, probably
more than half as much again.

The ordinary probate judge of
Glasscock county, Ga, died short
while ago, and an election for the posi-
ton was ordered for Monday, June 20.
The democrats for the past two weeks
have been exerting every power to carry
the election, and asserted that the re-
suit of this election would be indicative
of the standing of the third party in
the Tenth tom Watson's) district.
About one week before election Cor
don, Northen and Black made their
now famous speeches at Gibson, the
county seat, where they endeavored to
turn the tide in favor of the democratic
party, but in this they signally failed,
as the gallant little county stood firm
for reform. The democrats selected as
their standard bearer Mr. Seaborn
Kitchen, one of tie most popular men
of the county, and one having large
family connections. Mr.. ]. c. English,
the peoples party candidate, was elect
ed by a handsome majority of nearly
two to one on full vote. Hurrah for
Glasscock! It is said the city of Augusta
sent large amount of money to infu-
ence this election for the democrats,
but it was of no avail, for the sturdy
farmers stood firm for their rights and
principles. Peoples Party Paper.

Encourage Them, for tho Influence for
Good Which They Exert 10 Inestimable,
A public man iwhose influence has
been powerful for good in this country,
said lately:
MY father was un uneducated, hard
working farmer. Yet some of his
methods of training his children showed
keen insight and rare wisdom. He
had the habit, for instance, of tellingus
as we ate our breakfast any story OF
kindness or courage or self-sacrifice
which he had heard or read the day be-
fore; or, failing these, he would repeat
noble thought tersely expressed, or
fine line of poetry.
There's bit of gold, boys he
wonld say, to carry with you. Don't
let all your thoughts be base metal
1--WE used to laugh at this 'old-fash,
ioned' custom. But it would be impos.
sible to measure the influence which
these great ideas had in elevating the
daily current of our thoughts. We
could not give ourselves up wholly to
trivial or mean things with this great
thought ringing in our minds like the
call of trumpet"
A busy mother upon whom much OF
the actual labor of her household de-
volved, said once:
II have no time to search in books for
great thoughts to widen and lift my
children's minds But try to bring
into our family life the high, liberal
charity taught by Christ. try, too, to
keep the childrens attention fixed upon
some subject outside of their own lives.
zone day it may be new book, the
next a political crisis in our own coun-
try, or great flood in China. These
things serve to turn their thoughts from
personal gossip or squabbling."
There are many homes in which some
idea like these is at work, tightening
and uplifting the whole family life.
Thsre are others in which the members
resemble parts of a machine at work.
They earn money, they eat, drink ane
sleep; but the life, the ennobling prin.
ciple, is lacking.
However young or insignificant the
reader of these words may be, he can
do his part toward bringing the sun
shine of broader life into his home.
The mere habit of speaking of things
instead of people, if persisted in, will
be like window opened into close
and sitting room.
The atmosphere of our thoughts, as
well as that breathed by our bodies,
becomes foul and poisonous if kept toe
long shut in from outside influences.
Open the windows, then. Take the
lives, the work, the thoughts of your
brother men into your own, and you
will be able to serve better Him Who
is Father and yours. -Youth's Compan-

AN ESSAY ON BONES,

The Remarkable Composition of an
American Schoolboy.
Bones are the framework of the body.
IL had no bones in me, should not
have SO much motion, and grandmoth-
er would be glad, but like to have
motion. Bones give me motion be-
cause they are something hard for mo.
ton to cling to. If had no bones, nv
brains, lungs, heart and large blood
vessels would be lying around in me
and might get hurried, but now the
bones get hurted, but not much unless
it is hard hit
If my bones were burned should be
brittle, because it would take the an
imal out of me. If l were soaked in
acid / should be timber Teacher
showed us a bone that had been
soaked | could bend it easily. !
would rather be soaked than burned.
Some of my bones don't grow close to
my body, snug, like the branches of a
tree, and l am glad they don't, for il
they did could not play leap-frog and
other nice games l know.
The reason they don't grow snug to
my body is because they have joints.
Joints is good things to have in bones.
There are two kinds. The ball and
socket, like my shoulder, is best,
Teacher showed it to me, only it was
the thigh bone of an OK. One end was
round, smooth and whitish. That is
the ball end. The other end was hol-
lowed in deep. That is the socket and
it oils itself. 1t is the only machine
that oils itself.
Another joint is the hinge joint, like
my elbow. 1t swings back and forth
and oils itself. 1t never creaks like
the schoolroom door. There is another
joint that don't seem like a Joint.
That is in the skull 1t don't have nc
motion.
All my bones put together in their
right places make a skeleton. If |
leave any out or put any in their
wrong places, it amt no skeleton.
Cripples and deformed people don't

A GAME WITHOUT A NAME.
The Funny Game Aunt Addle Invented for
the Amusement of the Children.

The Funny Game Aunt Addle Invented for
the Amusement of the Children.
Here is a new game for you. 1t can
be played only in family where there
are several children and some grown-up
person who knew all the children when
they were little. This person may be
the mother If she is busy an aunt will
do very well.
This is the way the game was played
in one family. An aunt and five chill
dren played it. The aunt was called
Aunt Addie. The names of the children
were Minnie, Alice, Jimmy, Bobby and
Archie. The aunt sat by the window
and embroidered while she played, and
the children stood in row before her.
Zone of you," said Aunt Addie,
when you were baby, used to cry
when you heard slow, sad tunes like
the "Old Hundred" and "Old Dog
Tray" When we sang something
lively, like Captain Jinks," you would
laugh. Now which one was it,"
Bobby" shouted two children,
that's the kind he likes now"
THAT was an easy one" said the
aunt, there is another:
lone OF you hated to wear hats. You
would cry whenever one was put on,
and after you had ridden little way in
your carriage you would pull 1t off and
throw it away. The nurse would pick
it up when she saw it, but sometimes
she did not see it, and several hats and
caps were lost. Which of you was it?"
"Jimmy's always losing his things"
said Minnie. II guess it was Jimmy"
NO" said the aunt, ut is your turn
for the other guess, Jimmy. Only two
guesses each time"
at was Minnie" said Jimmy.
mo" said Aunt Addie. Now here
is another. There was one of you-only
one-who was always good and only
cried when he felt sick"
"Archie," guessed all the children at
once, and they were right
These children and the aunt played a
long time that day, but ! have told you
enough to show you how. Try it and
see if you can think of name for the
new game.--N. Y. World.
