A Boston paper has been getting to-
gether several opinions from persons
supposed to be informed in the matter
upon the question, ''Is the American
Child Spoiled?n They are specially
interesting because every contributor
to the symposium, in one way or an
other, attests his idea that the children
of to-day are having too much done for
them. Very many persons share and
often express similar opinion. Said
an old man, speaking on this matter
very lately: "Children are taking the
journey of life these days just as they
are taking their railway journeys-in
Pullman cars. Every luxury of educa-
tion is provided for them, every pill Of
knowledge is sugar-coated, every dose
of learning has the bad taste taken out
or is compressed into tablets that can
be swallowed at gulp. And the pro-
cess isn't going to make the sturdiest
kind Of men and women, in my
opinion"

In roasting meats the best cooks tel
us there are many things to be taken into
consideration which hasten or retard
the process, such as the age of the
meat, condition of the fire, etc. But
aside from allowing fifteen or twenty
minutes for every pound of meat, we
may be assured when the joint begins
to smoke the roast is about done. The
old rule for roasting is ''white meats
we'll done, dark meats underdone. !" To
rapidly eoagulate the albumum(to keep

This administration is certainly con-
trary, if it is nothing else. 1t has been
kept SO busy finding fault with and try
ing to undo everything that was done
by the Harrison administration that it
has done nothing itself. One of the
latest cases of fault finding is con-
tanned in the annual report of the first
Assistant Post Master General, which
declares that the experiment Of free
mail delivery in small towns and viii
lagos is a failure and recommends that
it be suspended at the close of the cur
rent year. The report very graciously
admits that that the free delivery was
when first established in the small
towns and villages received with satis-
faction and delight, but it then makes
the remarkable statement that as soon
as the novelty wore off the residents
found it more convenient to call at the
village postoffice for their mail than to
have it brought to their houses by the
carriers. | have not the data to dis
pute the assertion that the village free
mail delivery is a failure, although l
believe that the residents of the vii
lagos in which the experimental SER
vice now exists will, through their
Congressman, successfully do SO.

ranged to have her little nephew with
her on these visiting days to keep guard
over the decorum of the young couple
in the drawing room while she attended
to her household duties.
Now. it happened during one Of these

This is the way one of his apologists
puts it: "The President has no idea
that force Of arms will be necessary.
Had he anticipated such a necessity,
instead of two American vessels In the
harbor Of Honolulu there would be
half a dozen. In other IOrds, the
President was determined tnat the
corrupt Hawaiian monarchy should be
restored, if it took the whole strength
of our navy to do it. Before these lines
are read the infamous course began by
the hauling down of the American
flag will probably have been completed
by the wiping out Of Republican gov
ernment and the seating of a queen by
force and under the personal orders of
President of The United States.
The indignation felt by Republicans
is fully shared by many Democrats, and
more than once the remark has been
publicly made, "Cleveland ought to
be impeached for this.n Not few peo-
pie believe that the money Of Claus
Spreckels, the Hawaiian sugar king,
has been an important factor in bring
ing about this disgraceful document.
Spreckles spent week in Washington a
short time ago and he made no secret
OF his belief that the administration
would restore the queen, but everybody
thought at that time that the idea was
too preposterous to be even seriously

mighty effort he managed to hold her
above the waves, ana so fought his
way, inch by inch, to land. Spent
and breathlcss, he dragged his weary
limbs upon the beach, that slender fig
ure still clasped in his arms, and sank
down upon the sand, insensible.
Half an hour later the fury of the
storm had subsidized, and party from
the hotel, armed with lanterns, set
forth in search of the missing girl.
They found her, quite unconscious,
lying clasped in Laurence Dale's arms

Mrs. Branscombe, tall and stately,
cold and cruel, living exponent of
fashion and conventionality, took in
the situation, her lip curling with
silent scorn. In n glance she COM

diamond from her finger and tossed it
contemptuously upon the table. But
Mrs. Branscombe's temper was at

"Leaver' she commanded. "My

peace, having sent forth her edict.
Preparations were made for hasty
wedding the next dav in little

as yearly income, the same to take
effect as soon as the marriage was
performed. Through the key-hole of

into her eyes.
"She sees that she must submit"
was Mrs. Branscombe's verdict, "and

The hour appointed for the cere-
mony came. The bridegroom, "in

Branscombe unlocked the door of the
room. One swift glance, and she fell
