He,Cou,dn't Say .when."

My father was afflicted with a curi- ous malady." said well-known elec- trical man. ''He was not habitual stammerer, but he had great difficulty in pronouncing the word when It was absolutely impossible for him to speak the word when the odor of bour- bon whisky was adjacent. Many times have tried the experiment with him of holding the mouth Of 8 whisky bot tie over glass. and as began pouring remarking to him: Say when, pop. He would open his mouth, catch his breath, pant and contort his face. but would make no sound. Finally, after many efforts, he would gasp out: II c-c-cuc-cuc-can't sus-sus-sus-say whu- hu-whu-whu'-by this time the glass would be full and the experiment. failure. This peculiar affiietion chung to him all his life. It was very curious. assure you. "-Electrical Review.

A PARENTAL DIFFICULTY.
How to Meet the Individuality of the Childish Members of the Household.

How to Meet the Individuality of the
 Childish Members of the Household.
 The home-circle is a unit of love and harmony, composed of varying dis positions. No two faces are exactly alike. No two spirits perfectly rcsem- ble each other. The parents have doubtless felt this difficulty many times: "How can we best adapt our training and government to agree with and develop cur children's diversified natures?'
 The problem, as stated above, is not easy of solution. Some children need very little correction, but any amount of stimulus. Others overflow with abounding vigor, but the vigor some times takes wrong directions and mars their prospects The grand-father's temper will assert itself in John, need ing strong restraint; while Mary, lov- ing and patient, is too easy-going and must be urged forward. The more gifted and original the family is, the more probable is it that these marked contrasts will be found One child's mental and moral food will prove an others poison. And wise, loving care of our little ones and growing boys and girls is much exercised as to how
 it must best adapt itself to changing needs
 The easiest way to do this is to make a study of every member of your fami- ly circle. Keen-sighted love is intni- tive and can more easily discern the hidden depths of Johns or Mary's heart than any other method. Such . study of your boy and girl will lead to the understanding of them; and when this much is accomplished, the greater part of the problem is solved. 1t is safe to assert that where training is at fault the parents lack, not love, but knowledge. They love we'll, but not wisely. For it should be remem- bered what a gulf there is between the love of benevolence, which ever seeks the highest good of the object it loves. and the mere impulse of passionate affection.
 A parents heart often sacrifices itself in teaching the child that it must obey, but the lesson is necessary for the ad- vance of character in the child. This is the love of benevolence.
 Another fond mother, ardent but mistaken. will say: "Oh, let him have this. or do that. for can not bear to hear him cry!" This is the impulse. unguarded and unsalutary, of passion ate affection. It is really a selfish feel ing, since it prefers present comfort to the child's future good.
 Gently, yet firmly, must the child be taught the great lesson of obedient service, that its highest liberty is to surrender to the loving mastery of the father and the mother. This process is the work of years, not days; when guided by gOod-natured common sense it can not easily fail: and the law of love ever being supreme, our children shall grow up as trees rightly planted. out of their very diversity producing a rich harmony of concord, unity and affection.-N. \. Ledger.

UNSUNG.

As deep from sight are hidden The jewels thas are best, So the poet'n dearest treasures Are hiddon in his breast; And though full sweet his measure, He is harp unstrung: For of his souls rare music The best is left unsung. Perhaps too vague it's meaning, Perhaps too short it's stay To catch the subtle beauty
 Of the ethereal lay; For. howsoever sweetiy
 The poets voice iras rung, Far better in his bosom
 Are songs that lie unsung. And so are all men poets.
 For Tn each heart a string, When rightly touched. full sweetly With melody will ring: And in each soul, however
 Discordant be the tongue Are strains of rarest beauty That eyer lie unsung Methinks this sweet soul music. Too low for mortal ears, May be faint. far echo
 Waited from higher spheres Unclouded realms elysian
 From whose bright shores has sprung The melody harmonious
 That here must lie unsung. Walter H. Jewet', in N. Y. Independent

He Would Have Proposed, Hut for an Ac-

 cident.
 Yes" meditatively said the bachelor to the other man. ''I would have been this time if it had not been for the med dlesome intervention of q soup bone. Some months ago l was very much impressed with little typewriter girl in our office. She was bright, pretty. had dainty figure. and wore such neat toilets that half the men in the place were daft about her.
 II was too bashful to ask her if might call on her, and one night over my late cigar l evolved business method of settling my fate. l would go early to the office next morning -she was usually the first clerk down. would send the porter out upon an err rand. and then dictate letter to her asking her to marry me.
 Wasn't that brilliant schemea But she was not there, and did not come in until nine o'clock. Late in the day heard her tell another girl what had detained her.
 ''rhe cook at her clearinghouse had gone out to buy meat for break fast: she entered the butcher shop just as the butcher. in anger, threw a soup bone at his assistant: the cook inter- cepted the soup-bone, was felled insen- sible, and being unknown to the butcher was carried of to the hospital. .The boarders waited for their breakfast, and my romantic intentions were chilled beyond ssuscitation-so here am, dismal bachelor, the vic- tim of contemptible, mean, little five-cent soup bone.

MR.. WASHINGTON HESiNG.

THE EAGLE has received numerous
letters asking it to republish the tes-
rimony in the famous whisky trlals,
and in the Judge Blodgett investiga-
tion of 1879, relating to Mr.. Wash
jngton Hesing, Charles B. Farwell,
Mr.. Hesing, ST., and other matters.
A contributor has sent in the re-
mort of the assignee of the Germanla
Insurance Company in which the
Hesiugs were interested, and also
short hand report of the testimony
of Mr.. William Woke anent that
matter to the Blodgett investigating
committee. Certain bankruptcy pro-
ceedings of 1878 have also been called
to mind, AMI many nauseating mat
tiers of less public character of later
date.
But so long as Mr. Washington
Hesing confines himself to impersonal
matters. THE EAGLE will not be per-
,sonal. 1t will not crafty anyone's
malicious desire to besmirch anyone
else. or to drag anybodys record to
light.
In case Mr. Hesing becomes too
personal, things might be different.
But so far he has confined himself
almost exclusively to asking, "Whert
lie Was At?"
In case il is ever necessary to de

How HOLLOW are the royal preten-
sions of friendship among the ruling
powers of Europe is we'll illustrated
in a cynically worded dispatch that
comes from st. Petersburg. Owing
TO defects in the new supply of rifles
turned out by the Government facto-
ries in Russia, half of them were re-
jected. The rearming of the Cars
infantry will thereby be delayed, it
is stated, three years. These details
throw a new light on the recent visit
of the Cars oldest son to the court
of Germany where he was given an
apparently most cordial welcome.
And the situation is still more
brightly illuminated by the closing
words of the dispatch referring to
the defective arms and their result
on the military forces of the Mosco-
wife monarch. They were that a
knowledge of this state of affairs is
believed to have influenced the Car
to assume a more friendly attitude
toward Germany" Royal amenities
in Europe to-day are things apart
from ordinary human actions.

ANENT the superstition that the
number l3 is an unlucky one, the
New York Sun calls attention to the
numerous repetitions of the number
on the new 25-cent piece. On one
side of the coin there are no less than
ten repetitions OF the number -.
There are 13 stars, - letters in the
scroll held by the eagles beak, 10
marginal feathers on each wing, ID
tail-feathers, 13 parallel lines in
the shield, Is HORIZONTAL bars, 10
arrowheads in one claw, - leaves on
the branch in the other claw, and -
letters in the words quarter dollar. !"
1t remains to be seen whether any
body will be afraid to take this coin
on account Of its bearing SO many
marks of ill-luck, but the probability
is that most men will esteem them
selves unlucky if they fail to get a
good pocket-full of them.

The progress of the campaign
clearly demonstrates the fact that
the people are for Carter H. Harrison
and that they want no one else for

They are sure of this much: That
Harrison stands for lower taxes and

This is what they want, and this,

West is in debt. He is q hardworking
man, not greatly given tO meddling in
politics, usually preferring to vote as
his party leaders diSect, and never de-
sorting his party without the strongest
provocation. He is anxious to pay his
debts and will make any reasonable
sacrifice to do so. Although the earth
yields its increase as bountifully to his
efforts as it ever did; although his
fields laugh with harvests and his
granaries overflow. he finds his needs
not "a fully supplied as in former years,

In Mr.. Cleveland's address, the peo-
pie have been given a little foretaste
Of the pension legislation that is soon
to come. Cleveland proved in his
former administration that he was an
inveterats enemy 20 pensions, and now
he thinks that one among the first and
most prominent things to be overhaul
ed, is the pension law, and, when that
overhauling takes place. many people
will then begin to realize what '.hard
times" are. In addition, the money
being taken from them, who are in great
need of it, and circulating through the
country, thus increasing the business
enterprise of the country, it will be
placed in the Treasury vaults as con-
demning sin of Democratic rule.-Pied-
mont Herald.
The foregoing Is q fair, sample of
Republican logic. The Herald says less
pensions means more hard times. If
this statement is correct, we suppose
that If Congress should pass a law,
giving q pension of 800 a month to
every man, woman and child in the
Union, that the country would boom
with prosperity. How Is it. Bro. Her
