The Training of Children.

How often we hear fond mother
say, when Johnnie or Susie gets to
be little older, then l can govern
him or her better" What a mis-
taken idea. II children are not
taught to mind when small. how can
they be SO taught when they get old
enough to exercise their own will?
How soon an infant of i few weeks
old learns to cly for some one to
walk the floor with or dandle it I'D
and down at arms length, il it has
been handled that way for a short
time. II children can learn to like
that kind of usage. why can they not
learn to lie quiet in their crib, II
kept warm and well fed. as we'll?
When they begin to creep or walk,
they can easily be taught to let this
or that alone by proper management,
and it is much bett r for the child to
learn to mind when small. Every
one who has any heart at all cannot
help loving a little innocent child
that behaves nicely at home, for il it
does then it will be apt to be good
away from home. But I have seen
little ones whom it would seem as il
no one could love they behaved SO
badly. The child is not to blame for
not behaving we'll if it is not taught
to do so. The parents are to blame,
and the child has to suffer for it.
Be gentle, yet firm, ana fulfill all your
promises to the children ii you ex-
pect them to love, honor. and obey.

Cremating Garbage.

The consumption of garbage by
cremation has been begun in quite
number Of places in this country, and
the one which is an object-lesson to
our other cities In Massachusetts and
New England is the double fire sys-
tenn now in use in Lowell and in
other parts of the country. The
cremat0ry is brick structure forty
feet long, ten feet wide, and twelve
feet high, with stack seventy-flve
feet in height. The top of the
furnace is reached by platform, and
the garbage is collected in carts and
dumped down the slopes into the
feed holes in the top of the furnace.
After the furnace has been charged
two fires are lighted. The flames
pass from the first fire to the garbage
piled on the CRATES, and the gas and
smoke attending the combus ton then
pass to the second fire, where they
are consumed. All the products Of
the burning of the garbage must pass
through one of these fires. We have
not room for detailing how this sys-
tenn is managed, but the results are
such that 1t works successfully
wherever it has been tried, and its
adoption in many Of our large cities
is apparently only q question OF
time.
