-Tbe whip is the parent of stubborn

The whip is the parent of stubborn
ness in high-spirited animal, while gen.
tleness will obtain obedience and at the
same time attach the animal to us. 1t is
the easiest thing imaginable it win the
affection of animals, and especially of
horses.
The great mass of American farms
are owned in fee simple by those who
occupy them as personal working farm
ers, combining in some degree the func-
tions of the British landlord, land ten
ant and farm laborer. The farms, as a
rule, are of comparatively small size.
The rural population is making its
power felt nowadays. 1t does not fol-
low that everything originating in the
country is right and everything origina-
ting elsewhere is wrong. 1t does show,
however, that the country is force en-
titled to due consideration and that it
means to have it.

COLONEL RICHARD t. AUCHMUTY.

COLONEL RICHARD T. AUCHMUTY.
Last week there died in Lenox, Mass,
a man whose name has not appeared in
general pint as often as that of some
others, but who has done more to de-
serve the respect of his fellow citizens
than most public men whose names one
sees in print daily. The man is Colonel
Richard T. Auchmuty. Wherever he
was known he revealed himself as a fin
ished American gentleman. His native
pride, inherited from one of the old
Dutch families of New Amsterdam, never
kept aloof from the common people,
while it preserved him from ever pass
ing beyond the line of genial yet dignitied
courtesy. The work that has established
his claim TO remembrance was his found
ing the New York Trade School in 1882:
Previously to that time he had observed
that large per cent. of our skilled me-
chanIcs were foreign born, and that by
the breaking down of our apprentice
system and by the jealousy of labor
unions the supply of skilled workmen
was very small. To remedy this state of
affairs he established the school alluded
to above, giving to it personally over
100000, and securing for 1t half mil
lion from j. Pierpont Morgan. Up to
1890 over $500 young men had passed
through Colonel Auchmuty's school to
the advantage of themselves and their
fellow men.
The story of his life is not marked by
ANYTHING especially interesting. He vas
born in New York in 1881 He received
thorough education aen1 adopted the
profession of archi ecture. When the
civil war broke out he entered the coun-
try's service as captain and served on the
stats of General Fitz John Porter and
General Meade. In June, 1865, he came
home suffering from a wound, bringing
with him his horse, Mrs. Gaines"
which died last summer, aged 36, the
last equine survivor of the great conflict.
About year ago Colonel Auchmuty met
with an accident which resulted in the
amputation of one of his legs. Since
that time his health has been failing.
His loss is deep one, and is felt most
by those who knew him best.-Sunday

Nurses, Weakness For Tea.

A paying patient in London hospi-
tai, while bearing testimony to the
kindness, attention and self denial Of
the nurses, remarks on the one weak
ness they all appear to possess. And
this is intemperance-not indeed in
slcoholic liquors, but in tea. In sea-
son and out of season, morning, noon
and night, was the cup Of tea resorted
to. 1t seemed to be quite as much the
correct thing when two nurses met for
one to invite the other to come and have
a cup of tea as in some circles it is for a
city clerk to invite his friend to come
and have a drink. This excessive tea
drinking is no doubt due to the long
hours and harassing work Of the nurses.

BOoHI

On afternoons, when baby boy has had splen-
did nap
And sits, like any monarch on his throne, in
nurses lap,
In some such wise my handkerchief hold be-
fore my face,
And cautiously and quietly movo about the
place;
Then with cry suddenly expose my face to
view,
And you should hear him laugh and crow when
say "Boohl"
Sometimes that rascal tries to make believe
that he Is scared,
And, really, when he first began, he stared and
stared and stared,
And then his under lip came out, and farther
out ii came,
Till mamma and the nurse agreed it was q
'cruel shame
But now what does that same wee toddling,
lisping baby do
But laugh and kick his little heels when l say
"Boohl"
He laughs and kicks his little heels in raptur.
Gus glee and then
In shrill, despotic treble bids me do it all
adenl"
And LOT course do it, for, as his progenitor,
II is such pretty, pleasant play as this that
am forl
And it is, oh, such fun, and l am sure that
shall rue
The time when we are both too old to play the
game of "Booh!'

Importance of a chlld's Diet.

The food of children should receive special
attention. During the age Of growth the
digestive organs are taxed severely to sup
ply the enormous amount Of nutriment
necessary for the building up of the body.
Comparatively few parents realize the i'm
portant part which diet plays in the pro
duction of physical robustness.
A child who is puny, pale and sallow is
likely to become an adult of inferior men
tai and physical capabilities, and excessive
fairness in childhood is quite as much to be
feared. Either condition invites disease,
and parents should know that much may
be done to avoid both excessive leanness
and excessive fairness by an intelligent and
persistent attention to the child's diet

"A well-to-do farmer, who has by
slow degrees learned the lesson of show
to make the farm pay" says: 1--WE never
really prospered until we learned to live
out of the garden and cellar instead of
the grocery store" Good food in
abundance and. of great variety, grown
on the farm, should be the first object
of every farmer.
There are some people who think a
horse would stop if they did not keep up
a constant jerking on the reins. and
Others who think farmers would not
know when to pillow or what to plant If
they failed to remind them of their du-
ties, observes our friend of the Mirror
and Farmer. Still, an occasional jog to
to the memory may do good.

With a simple grace to WI ich we YIELD
Grows the wild rose.
Ii claims a friendship still unbroken,
II grasps the sleeve In sava ge token,
1t looks language all unspoken,
The fresh wild rose.
A maiden's cheek its blush might wear
II modest hangs in beauty there.
Ubnoticed, yet so wond'rou fair,
TIE sweet wild rose.

And glow till winters chilling dead.

GA few days ago." said Mr.. Castle,
Il heard or saw printed that letter
from Mrs. Dominis, the recent queen,
would be published in San Francisco,
saying that l framed a Constitution for
her to promulgate, or something to that
effect"
"What did you think of the state.
ment?" queried the reporter
swell, l paid no attention to the
rumor, and was rather astonished at
seeing the letter re-published in last
evenings STAR"
did you have any hand in that Con
stitution scheme of LiliuCkalani's,
Mr.. CASTER"
"Did | have a hand in it! Well /
should say not OF course the whole
story is utterly and absolutely false and
silly; and probably the readers of that
curious production have guessed with
out difficulty that the author, be it Mr..
English or the lady who signed, while
knowing the story to be false caused its
publication in the United States"
"What do you think was the object.
81 do not think" replied Mr.. Castle,
81 am positively certain it was pub
lished for the purpose of injuring and
discrediting the Annexation Commits
sion, feeling sure that l would net be
there to nip the lie in the bud anC
that it would do its evil work before
the antidote could be administered"
"Do you think it will have any seri-
Gus effect in the United States2
"No, | don't think Pm mistaken in
asserting that such nonsense will moi
very seriously affect the annexation
sentiment now rapidly growing there
and | might add this is not the frs

appears, is not merely going to take

turn out the government and make
himself President of the Hawaiian Re-

contemplates other changes, and his
coming will be awaited with great anx-
