a PREPARATORY FOR YOUNG
CRIMINALS.
Judge Winston's Views.
Biblical Recorder. }

vatIop, / feel, ought not to be with
held from my fellow cltiz rs.
Statistics will show if crime l.
generally increasing or decreasing
1t Is no purpose OF this communities
ton TO enter the writer In the list
as maintaining either the former OF
the latter. But It's purpose is t.
call attention TO this alarming fact
-"OuT boys are our breeders q
criDse." "Our boys are fAtng our
criminal d0chetS."
Under seven years OF age boy
cannot commit a crime. From
seven to fourteen his act is criminal
only if it be shown that he had
intelligence enough to understand
its meaning. so that from fourteen
to twenty-oBe years is the period
of legal criminal responsibility With
youth, Therefore, human life aver
aging sixty years, about one seventh
of the crimes ought to fall to the
lot Of boy hood. My experience,
however, leads me to assert that at
least Cne-t third of all crimes is
brought home to It's door-indeed,
il the fourth and fifth judicial
districts, during the year 1891, fully
halt the convicted criminals were
boys. IN one county seven out Of
nine c0uTlcted were boys. True,
one must not lose sight Of the fact
that in cur State large proportion
Of the criminals are negroes. Bot
the depravlty Of the young negro
as compared with the older ones, is
more striking with the whites.
Tive thoughts suggest themselves:
~ " hy are these Things so? %
What can be done with the young
criminal?
The answer to the first thouoht
lies not far away. Lack of nroner
home Influence and restraints casts
the boy into the whiri of lite with
false notions, or none at all, respect
Jug the part he is called upoa to
act. That mother, who. living in
town. is old shicned enough to
keep her boy off the streets. will
have her reward: and the country
mother, who keeps her son from the
little crossroads dogeery, at the

Lavishness of speech is not always fault, nor is exactness in speech always a virtue. It is the spirit that prompts the speech, rather than the speech itself, that is the measure of character in any personal utterance. A man whose whole nature is for the time being under the sway of an overmastering feeling-and there are times when this ought to be the case with any man-is likely to speak out in no measured terms in ex- pression of his strong feeling. To re- strain ones self in a moment of enthusi- asm or admiration or gratitude, or of righteous indignation, so as to speak on- ly in the language of scientific accuracy as to ones emotions and impulses, would be unworthy of true man. It is we'll to speak out heartily in expression of commendable feeling, without weighing ones words as though they were in care ful analysis of matters of fact. It is not well to be on guard over ones tongue 50 as never to express ones emotions with enthusiastic lavishncss of speech. Hearts praise without any show of calculating restraint in their utterance. Wrongs go on unhindered, which might be checked by unmeasured and unrc strained words of strong and righteous feeling against them. Exactness of speech is duty in it's time and place; and so is lavishness of speech -[Sunday School Times.

San Francisco's Kindergartens.

The Golden Gate Kindergarten associ- dergartens with an enrolment of about 5000 children between the ages of two and half and six years. Sixteen of these kindergartens are permanently en- dOwed. Mrs Leland Stanford sustains seven kindergartens. She has set aside
 $100,000 for their maintenance. Mrs George Hearst sustains three and propo- ses to establish others. Mrs Charles Lux sustains two; Mrs B. F. Norris, Mrs A. J. Pope, Mrs Cyrus Walker, Mrs G. w. Dowda, Mrs K. $. Hart, T. Fuller Shat tuck and Alexander Montgomery each sustain a kindergarten. A society of young ladies called the "Helping Hand Society," sustains three schools. Sever al commercial organizations also SUD- port schools,-the Produce Exchange, the Merchants, the Insurance, the Real Estate. This has interested the business men ot the city in the work, who regard it as question of political economy.
 The work had it's origin in the Bible class of Mrs Sarah B.Cooper of the First Congregational church and she has en- listed some 60 or 70 of the representative men and women of San Francisco in the great work. They take personal in- terest in it. Over $260,O has been giv- en Mrs Cooper for the support of these kindergartens, to which she has devoted her time and energies for nearly B years Her daughter, Miss Harriet Cooper, is the deputy superintendent of the work. A free normal training class of 34 young women will graduate in May. This is part of the great work. In speaking of the great good accom- plished, Mrs Cooper says in her report:
 ''During the 12 years, we have had nearly 5000 children under our care and training. The children who were with us in the earliest years of our work are now from 15 to IS years of age. We have fol- lowed these children as closely as possi- ble since they left us and, after the most rigid investigation, we do not find our children among the juve- nile offenders. Their names are not to be found upon the police records; and this, too, in the face of the fact that our are located in the districts where criminals are made."

Josiah b. Smith of Delaware county, N. r., believes in the virtues of curry comb and brush. After replacing the worn out tools at an expense of 40 cents, he tells the Cultivator readers that it is his candid opinion that "40 cents invest ed in this manner has already been worth more to me than $20 invested in hay at $10 per ton. This is no new ex- pertinent with mel bought the new tools because the old ones, used under the same methods, were worn out. If any of your readers engaged in dairying have never tried the currycomb and brush, let them, every stormy day ,or off, tener if convenient,giv each COW care ful grooming.

Origin of the Chrysanthemum.

It was Christmas Eve. The night was dark and the snow was falling fast as Hermann, charcoal burner, drew his cloak tightly around him and the wind whstled fiercely through the trees of the Black Forest. He had been to carry a load to a castle near by and he was now hastening home to his little hut. Al though he worked very hard, he was poor, gaining barely enough for the wants of his wife and his four little child ren. He was thinking of them when he heard a faint wailing. Guided by the sound, he groped about and found little child, scantily clothed, shivering and sobbing by itself in the snow.
 "Why, little one, have they left thee all alone to face this cruel blast?'
 The child answered nothing, but look ed piteously up in the charcoal burners face.
 ''Well, 1 cannot leave thee here; thou wouldst be dead before the morning.
 So saying, Hermann raised the child in his arms, wrapping it in his cloak and warming it's cold hands in his bosom. When he arrived at his hut, he put down the child and knocked at the door, which was immediately thrown open and the children rushed to meet him.
 "Here, wife, is guest to our Christ mas Eve supper" said he, leading the little one, who held timidly to his little finger with it's tiny hand.
 ttA nd xua1onmo ha ic cold ho "Now, let him come and warm himself by the fire"
 The children all pressed around to well come and gaze at the little new conner. They showed him their pretty fir tree decorated with bright colored lamps in honor of Christmas Eve, with which to make fete for the children.
 Then they sat down to supper, each child contributing of it's portion for the guest, looking with admiration at it's clear blue eyes and golden hair, which shone so as to shed bright light in the little room; and, as they gazed, it grew into sort of halo around his head and his eyes shone with heavenly lustre. Soon two white wings appeared at his shoulders and he seemed to grow larger and larger and then the beautiful vision vanished, spreading out his hands as in a benediction over them.
 Hermann and his wife fell on their knees, exclaiming in awestruck voices, "The holy Child Jesus!" and then em- braced their wondering children in joy and thankfulness that they had enter tained the heavenly Guest.
 The next morning, as Hermann passed by the place where he had found the fair child, he saw cluster of lovely white flowers with dark green leaves, looking as though the snow itself had blossomed. Hermann picked acme and reverently carried them home to his wife and children, who treasured the fair blossoms and tended them carefully in remembrance of that wonderful Christmas Eve, calling them s'chrysan- themums ;'' and every year, as the time came round, they put aside portion of their feast and gave it to some poor child.
