The Training of Children.

Sunday School Journal.
tIf Joshua were alive today he would
doubtless be considered by some as old
fashioned and behind the times. The
modern practice in many families is 10
allow the children to grow up about as
they please, with no restraint upon their
passions and no training in the right way.
Indeed, there are not wanting those who
assert that it is better to lei the children
grow up and choose for themselves what
they shall believe about religion, forgetting
that this is the surest way of all others to
make them irreligious.
Solomon truly says: "A child left TO
himself bringeth his mother to shame.
The very people who thus neglect their
children in religious affairs are careful for
them in other respects. They do not let
them 90 without food or clothing until
they are old enough to choose for them
selves. They feel that it is their duty to
choose for them lest they starve or freeze.
They do not allow them to grow ur in
ignorance until they can choose for them
selves what studies to pursue. They as
sumo that it is their duty to educate as
we'll as to feed and to clothe them. And,
as religious duty is the most important
part of education, why should this alone be
neglected?
"The example of Joshua is worthy of
imitation by all people, and especially by
all Christian parents. The command to
train children for God belongs to the new
dispensation as well as TO the old No
parent can neglectSit without fearful peril
to himself and 10. his family; nor can any
parent transfer this obligation to another.
The Sunday school teacher may supple
ment the home teacher, but he can never
become a substitute for him.

A Few Bulls.

We hear great deal about Irish bulls,
but as a matter of fact this species of blum
dering wit is by no means confined TO our
friends the Hibernians. During the Fe-
MAN troubles some years ago, Il Canadian
paper published what it claimed was toast
offered at a Fenian meeting in Montreal.
1t read "Here's to Stephens. May he
live till he sees chapels built ten miles long
and seven miles broad, and may they be
slated with the shoulder blades of English
men, and the walls whitewashed with their
blood"
"Bull Run" Russell, well known in this
country during the war as a correspondent
of the London Times, in one of his letters
from. Egypt, writes, GAS there were no
other asses to be found, the Duke Of
Sutherland, Colonel Tuesdale, Colonel Mar
shall and were Obliged to trudge on foot.
1t was an English lady who requested
painter to paint her portrait with Il book in
her hand, reading aloud, and her servant
in a corner, where he could not be seen,
but within easy call.
A professor in Edinburgh university
was making II chemical experiment before
his class, when an explosion took place and
the vessel was shattered to pieces. Hold
ing up fragment Of the glass, he said
very gravely, "Gentemen, have made
this experiment often with this very phial
and never knew it to break in my hand
before.
There are men still living who can recall
the ridicule heaped on General Taylor for
sentence that occurred in his famous
message to the Thirty-frst Congress. 1t
was as follows 1--WE are at peace with
all the world, and seek to maintain our
cherished relations of amity with the rest
of mankind"
Mr.. Buchanan matched this in a speech
in which he said, II do believe, gentlemen,
that mankind, as well as the people of the
United States, are interested in the preser-
walton of the Union.
John C. Calhoun, in commenting upon
the Clause in the Declaration of lndepen-
dence to the effect that all men are created
equal, said, "Only two men were created,
and one of these was ii woman.
recall that as boy l initiated my
schoolmates and all initiated our great
grandfathers by writing in the fly leaves of
our text books, ''Steal not this book, my
honest friend" without being stuck by the
absurdity of an "honest friends stealing
anything.
All literature is full of these queer blum
ders. Dr. johnson, in his dictionary, de-
fines "a garnet" as ''the highest room in a
house." then he defines cockloft as ''the
room over the garnet.

A Railroads Variety store.
From hampers Young People.

From Harper's Young People.
Did you ever stop to consider where all
the little things used on railroad come
from? Where the engineer gets his oil
cans and oil and vast, the brakeman his
flags and lanterns, the station agent his
envelopes and pencils and glass TO replace
broken panes, the car-cleaner his brooms
and sponges aud soap? The men might
buy all these things themselves, hut that
would be very expensive way, for some
of the great railroads spend S5,0O9,OOO a
year for those apparently little things.
Every railroad has an officer called the
purchasing agent, who buys all the articles
that are constantly needed He has moth
ing to do with buying the locomotives or
cars or rails; it is only the "little' things
that he has to spend sometimes s5,O9O,0OO
year for.
On the first of each month the head of
each department and every station agent
make what is called requisition upon the
purchasing agent for the supplies that they
will need for that month that is, they
make ont list of the articles and send it
to headquarters. The purchasing agent
looks over all these lists, audits them, as
it is called, and strikes out some of the
items when he thinks that too much has
been asked for When the list is cut
down to what he thinks is right he puts
his initials upon it, and it is sent to one OF
the principal officers of the road, who also
approves it. When it comes back to the
purchasing agent approved, he sends an
order to the supply department, and the
goods are shipped to their destination.
Tho variety OF things that the purchas
ing agent has to buy is shown by two
acquisitions taken at raudom from among
thousands received by one agent in this
city this month. One was for dozen red
globes for signal lanterns, $50 barrels of
oil, 100 barrels of signal oil, 20 gallons of
turpentine, 10000 seals and wires for seal
ing freight-cars, coil of rope inches in
circumference, dozen brooms, ] dozen
sponges. 100 pounds of waste for cleaning
chimneys, 3 gallons of soft soap for clean
ing cabooses, 4 kegs of nails, 500 envel-
opes, 1000 paper clasps, gross of pens.
gross of pencils, and 10 yards of flag bunt
ing. Another requisition from an Office
in the interior of New York State where
there must be great many clerks, called
for 10000 large envelopes, 10000 small
envelopes, 500 small pads, 5000 letter
heads, 10 gross of pens, 500 application
forms, 500 monthly report blanks, 10
gross of pencils, 10 gross of clasps, 100
large sticks of red sealing wax, 500 heavy
manila envelopes, ) dozen oil cans, B dozen
lanterns, 10 signal lamps, 3 dozen red
globes, 2 dozen white globes, 3 large lamps
for station, 2 dozen brooms, 4 feather-dust-
ers, $50 pounds of waste, 0 kegs of nails,
J dozen large chamois-skins, 10 panes of
glass 16x20, 5 coils of small rope, bale
of coarse wrapping $50 fence pick
cts, and 100 feet of barbed wire.

Reporters sometimes report speeches
they do not hear, anA ,i work they make
of IT, An enthusiastic lrishman was once
hoaSed by "A wag into reporting a speech In
parliament by Edmund Burke on the mer-
its Of the potato as an article OF diet. The
wag repeated the speech apparently from
his notes. and the reporter, never doubling
his good faith, handed in report. The
next morning all London was laughing
over the speech, which made Mr.. Burke at
tribute the superior virtue OF the Irish peo-
pie 10 the fact that they eat so many pota-
toes.
Another reporter Jared better who made
up speech from his own imagination. IL
was bold act, for the speech was from
the throne, George III being the monarch.
The ministers were indignant Mt his inn
pudence. and were eager TO punish him
with the seyercst penalties Of the law.
But the good natured monarch interposed,
with quiet Joke at the expense OF the
minister who had prepared the speech read
by the king 8 hope the mans punish.

NAM Kind. of nnnnnn..

There are as many kinds Of bananas a.
there are kinds Of apples medium sized
ones such n we see in the north; big ones

the biggest nnd handsomest bananas you

mistake The smallest bananas are In
nearly all cases the sweetest and juciest,
the tiny tic" banana being the best Of all.
The rind should be thin. and there should
be no ridges or corners on it. The larger
the ridges the coarser the fruit.
