town. 1t is impossible to reach Merritt

village. 1t was the only town the
newspaper men were not able to visit
and see the exact situation for them
selves. The condition of the sufferers
at Virginia is particularly unfortunate.
Most of them are without shelter,
clothing is scarce and food, despite the
supplies that have been sent from
Duluth, is still scanty. Everything
possible is being done for them and
railroads reaching the range are carry
ing all supplies and provisions free. On
the whole range about $500 people are
for the time being dependent on
charity. In Il large measure the women
and children have been brought to
Duluth.

committee WAS appointed and it was
decided not TO appeal for outside aid

planted in their nature-and this is an
aim which cannot possibly be consist
ent with that other aim of turning

Of the parental will. Discipline implies
ready obedience to orders of which the
reason is not understood, but it should
always rest on the belief that these
orders will be given for sufficient rea-
sons, and not for the mere satisfaction
of those who give them in seeing them
implicitly obeyed. The first lesson a
superior-either in a family, or a
school, or an army, or a state-has to
learn is that there is no such thing as
property in the character of a human
being; that when the individuality of a

The wish of some parents to WELD as

perform on piano, always eliciting
exactly the particular vibration that
they desire and expect, is clearly not
the true object of family life. On the
contrary, character, far from being an
instrument to be performed upon by
others, should always be new source
of life and originality, which no one
should be able to govern despotically
from outside, and which, even from in
side, is in great degree mystery and
marvel to him who has most power
over it.-London Spectator.

evidence before the Pontefract bench
Two golfers, who were charged with
drunkenness, went to the doctor ten
minutes after they were seen by the
police. The doctor made them walk
up and down the surgery, which they
did in a straight line, and then they
stood erect with their eyes closed and
held their arms at length with extended
fingers. The witness affirmed that the
latter was severe ordeal for persons

signs of shakiness the charge against
them was dismissed.-London Truth.

a collection of amusing letters which
from time to time were forwarded to
her through the mail by persons wholly
unknown to her. The last week or
