Reading to the Children.

A child's tastes for reading and the
style of books he or she learns to admire
are governed largely by the parents
Nearly all children enjoy having some
one read to them. Now, if before they
can peruse interesting books for them
selves their taste becomes cultivated
through the selections they hear, there
will be no danger of their wandering
astray into those bypaths of literature
that are not healthful, mind invigor-
ating resorts. Some skeptic probably
observes that we would advise reading
the "Iliad" to a 4-year-old listener. In
deed mol That would be very silly, be-
ing far beyond the comprehension Of the
infant mind. but there is poetry as
worthy and as pure as Homer's that lit
tie folks learn to appreciate and love.
Then in prose, what child will not de-
light in Andersen and Grimm's fairy
tales, and later ON Robinson Crusoe,"
"Swiss Family Robinson" Arabian
Nights" "Gulliver's Travels" "Nicho-
las Nickleby" and David Copperield2"
Scott, Dickens, Thackeray, Cooper, Irv-
ing and Hawthorne are all as delight
full to the youths and maidens in their
teens as to the aged bookworm. Read
ing aloud around the evening lamp is a
family delight that has laid the founda-
ton In many youthful minds of knowl-
edge of the best and noblest works in
English literature Philadelphia Times.

winter Amusement In Boston.


The most intellectual amusement Of
this arctic season has been punging.
with hard G, not soft one.) Small
boys and girls engage in it chiefly, and
It is a great education for the mind as
we'll as for the body. It trains the per-
ceptive faculties beautifully. You see
an elegant pung coming along, with q
projecting runner behind, which you can
easily stand upon. You have only an
instant in which to look at the driver
and guess whether he is the sort Of man
who will let you "catch on" You guess
that he is; he has q whip, but he looks
mild and gentle.
You scramble onto the rear of his We
hicle. Swish! slashi whackl "Git off o
there! Git off, durn yer Swish! whackl
You find out that you have made ter
rible error of judgment A few expert
ences of this sort, with whacks from nice
looking men and, on the contrary, some
beautiful rides on the pungs of men of
very dark and forbidding countenances,
teach you that things are not what they
seem and make you a much better judge
of human nature than you would other
wise be.
Moreover, punging is excellent exer-
else and develops both strength and
agility. It also cultivates fertility OF
resource. One small boy rode all the
way to Newton Highlands on a series Of
hospitable pungs, and then had to find
some way to ride home, and as most OF
the pungs were going the other way
this taxed his ingenuity pretty sharply.
But he got home just the same. And 1t
was immense fun.--Boston Transcript.

Women In the Pulpit.

There seems to be no objection what
ever to woman taking control of Sunday
schools. benevolent institutions, church
fairs, festivals and all other means of
caring for the focks and filling the eccle-
siastical exchequer. but when it comes
to women in the pulpit these is trouble
at once. This is only another Of the rel
les of barbarism.
| In old times if the church, could get
control Of the women and little children
they felt pretty sure of their ability to
manage the rest of the human family.
Half a century ago a woman doctor
was scarcely recognized in reputable cir
cles, and woman lecturer was mon
strosity. Contrasting that date with the
present and taking note of the change
in sentiment from one decade to another,
it is scarcely too muehto expect that by
another 60 years we shall see a most
wopderful revolution in matters Of this
sort. tits safe topredict that before the
end Of the first decade of the next CEN
tury the woman preacher win be no
more of q novelty than the woman doc
tor now.is. Woman Is specially fitted
for such work, and even were she not so
it would be, only the strictest kind of
justice togive her some of the honor as
well as. most of the hard work of the
church. When once it dawns fully upon
the minds of the people of this genera
ton that there is no sex in intellect or
moral achievement. the first and most
difficult part of this knotty problem viii,
have been solved.
By all means open the pulpit doors to
women,a as well. as those of the Sunday
school room. the hospital and the, exscu-
tive committee.-NewY York Ledger.

Educated washington women.

The first thing which strikes woman
from New York or Chicago on settling
in Washington is the fuency with which
every one she meets speaks French. In
half the drawing rooms she enters she
might as well be in Paris. She goes into
a bookshop, and half the things she sees
are in French. It is really embarrassing.
She feels at once the need of brushing
up her vocabulary and fortifying her
store of irregular verbs. Washington
women speak French as a matter of
course, and very good French too. A
woman without the same accomplish
ment feels almost as i'll at ease as if her
gown were cut badly. This is only one
of many gaps which her money will not
fill, and In sheer desperation themorti-
fed stranger calls in teacher.
knowledge is the fashion.
A small matter that, you may say,
but significant of other things. The
butterfly woman from New York, whose
society stock In trade consists of skim
ming from the latest novels and plays,
gowns from the Rue de la Paix and a
reservoir of superficial gush, is amazed
to hear Washington women talking
about prison reform, our public school
system or the Behring sea, controversy.
And they not only talk on such subjects
naturally and without any suspicion of
posing, but they know what they are
talking about. 1t is no longer sufficient
to throw out smilingly earnest remark
about some book of Ibsen's and trust to
fate that the woman you are talking to
is as ignorant Of it as you are. Oh. no;
the odds are against you in Washington.

ring factions, each eager to serve his
country for the money there may be in
It for himself and his supporters. A
few resolute men we'll equipped with
guns and ammunition and under good
leadership could easily wipe out the ma
rauding gang Of political disturbers
whose acts Of brigandage are retarling
the growth Of the country, agitating
those who have invested their capital
there with assurances that they would
have fair prospect of getting good re-
turns and precipitating generally disrup-
ton and demoralization.
The native Honduranean of the lower
order is represented to be not much
above the brute creation, being lazy,
slothful and shiftless, with not enough
pride or self respect to keep himself
clean. The upper classes are tolerably
we'll bred, but such finished adopts in
duplicity and Misrepresentation that
they are, as a rule, utterly unworthy of
belief. This is the statement made to
reporter by a gentleman who has only
recently returned from Honduras, who
is familiar with the people and their
habits and who is man of large means
"If you should ever go to Honduras"
said he, "go there without a, cent. If
you do this, you will come away no poor
er than when you put feet upon their
soil, but if you go there with money you
will inevitably be robbed. The people
there will either steal from you outright
or through the mockery of the tribunals
which they term courts"
The height of ambition of the average
Honduranean is to have few silver
coins in his pockets. When this meta
morphosis takes place in his condition,
he works no longer, interests himself no
further in anything which might cause
him to exercise either his hands or his
brains, but sleepily and drowsily con-
soles himself with the cheap rum which
is the native drink. This stuff, made
from sugar cane juice, is strong enough
TO burn hole in bar of railroad iron.
The banana is the diet of the poorer
classes They gorge themselves with
this fruit, which can be easily obtained
for almost nothing, and wash down the
primitive nourishment with glass or
two Of the sugar cane liquor. The COM
bination would kill an ostrich.-New

Harrison Reed, modest young farm
er residing near Kokomo, Ind, started
to Delphi Tuesday, expecting to be mar
ried that evening to young lady of that
place. While at Logansport, where he
had to change cars. the county sheriff
called on him to serve as juror in an

officer would accept no excuse, and Reed
was held there four days.

ney, and when he arrived at Delphi he
found the family in high state Of in
dignation, the expectant bride refusing
to see him and ordering him off the
premises.

without his bride and now threatens a

Political influence Of Onicehold ers--The
Three Per Cent Ballot Bill.
BosroN, May AIN the senate Mr.. Fitz
gerald favored the substitution Of a bill,
for an adverse report, TO prevent the exer-
else of undue political influence by office
holders Mr.. Kittredge thought the COM
mittee's report should be accepted. Mr..
Fitzgerald said IL his bill was not adopted,
Il will be made an excuse for repeating the
law now in force In Boston, and the Re-
publican party will be responsible. Mr..
Butler said the substitute bill was ridic-
ulous, because it says no officeholder shall
take part in a caucus, no matter what
kind Of an Office he holds. He thought
such bill was nonsense. The adverse re-
port was finally accepted-23 TO 8-strictly
on party lines, except Mr.. Ratshesky, no.
Without any debate the house ordered
to a third reading the bill to prevent
foreign corporations from issuing stock Vt
other securities upon the property or fran
chise of domestic corporations.
The senate bill to authorize the Lynn
and Boston Railroad company to extend
its track was also ordered to a third read
ing without debate.
The house committee on cities reported
reference to the next general court on the
proposition that in city councils every
meeting OF the committee OF the whole
shall be open to the public.
The committee on cities reported a re-
vised charter for Waltham. The form is
nearly the same as was presented by the
committee of the citizens. Two forms are
reported for appointment and removals
One makes the power Of appointment
absolute in the mayor. The other requires
confirmation by the aldermen. A super
intendent of waterworks Is added to the
list in the original bill. Members of the
police forco are to continue to hold Office
according to their tenure. The act is to
submitted to popular vote at the next city
election.
Mr. Coakley attacked the senate bill to
incorporate the Bristol County Co-opera-
tive Land and Building association as q
land scheme against the policy of the state
to prevent the purchase of land by COM
panies OF spectators. After debate, by a
large vote the bill was rejected.
Messrs. Myers, Mccarthy and French
were appointed on the committee of con-
ference on the trip to Chicago for June II.
Mr. Malone hoped the house would kill
the bill to require half of the towns Of the
state to be represented in any political con-
vention Of any party casting less than
three per cent of the total vote He
thought IL was bad bill and onerous on
any small political party. Mr.. Roe agreed
with him, but thought the section was
good which provided that nomination
paper shall not be accepted unless IL is ac-
companied by the written acceptance of
the candidate or candidates nominated by
It. He moved to strike out all Of the bill
but this section. This was done without
further debate, and the bill thus pruned to
very small and inoffensive proportions, and
was passed to be engrossed.
