Reading for children.

The wise mother will teach her chill
dren without their suspecting that
they are learning lessons, writes Ellis
abeth Robinson Scovil in an exhaus-
tive article on 1.-THE Best Reading for
Children,' in the February Ladies'
Home Journal. The charm of Little
Red Riding Hood" and 1.-The Three
Bears" may be equaled by true stories
of the wonders that lie all about US.
These have revealed themselves to
many patient, sympathetic observers
who recorded their observations for
our benefit, so that we have only to
profit by their labors. The fairyland
of science has domains as fascinating
as ANYTHING in the realms of fiction.
Why not make the children free OF
it? fell them of the habits Of birds
and plants and animals; of the wond-
erful SNOW crystal and the black dia-
monds of the coal.
1t is not difficult to begin, it is only
difficult to know where to stop; the
supply of subjects is ineXhaustible.
AS we watch the development of the
active, intelligent minds we feel the
importance of supplying them with
food that shall nourish as well as amuse
them. Itseems pity that the retentive
memories, on which it is now so easy
to make an indelible impression,
should not have imprinted upon
them facts of real interest and value.
These may be told at first in the
simplest language, and illustrated ny
reference to familiar things. Chils
dren are full of curiosity; all their sur
roundings are new and strange. They
are constantly asking questions anu
inuuiring into the reason of every
thing that strikes them as being un-
usual. They should receive intelli,
gent answers; explanations that viii
satisfy them as far as possible, when
the subject is really beyond their grasp.
Nothing is more exasperating to the
inquiring mind than to be told, "4ou
cannot understand that now, you must
wait until you are Older" or given
one of the other time-hOnored excuses
served to conceal the ignorance OF the
that elder.

uuently commences as follows: 81
beg your pardon for thus insulting you
i'm begging your company at my house
for dinner. The house is small and
very dirty. Our habits are very rude,
and you may not get anything fit TO
eat; and yet hope that you will con,
descend to be present with us at e
o'clock on December g." Upon arriv-
ing at the house you find it spotlessly
clean, tasty in arrangement, and the
host and hostess affable indeed. The

courses, the best the market can afford.
All the standardization of the host is
the method adopted TO pay you honor.

81 only epeat here what has been amply
verified again and again that neither by
| force, or by threat of force, or by any
action of mine, was the fall of the mon
Rrchy precipitated. From the hour on
which ! entered on my duties maintained
| the determination to call on the naval
| commander for aid only in the event that
| American life and property were in dan
| ger.
"If President Cleveland sees fit to make
a point against my official conduct that
months before the events of last January
| | had advocated annexation, he deliber-
ately and purpOsely cOnCeals that what l
said in my dispatch in November, 1892,
was a confidential statement to the de-
! partment of state of the true condition
of affairs in Hawaii a report of facts
which by the established rules and prac-
tice Of diplomacy ! was in duty bound TO
make known to my government AT that
date my opinions were so privately held
that both i'm Honolulu and California 10
was believed that the American minister
was averse to annexation"
The balance of Mr.. Stevens reply is de-
voted TO "a rehearsal of the events Lending
to the revolution, as already published,
and the subsequent landing of the troops.
He concludes as follows:
There was never more prepOsterous
assumption than this assertion of the
president, Gina. he queen, on Jan. H. had
ample force TO sustain her and to enable
her to carry on the government. That the
Hawaiian monarchy was overturned by
United States force was and is put forth
for the sole purpose of bringing discredit
on the preceding administration at Wash
ington and on the action of the foreign
relations COMMITTEES of the United States
senate in favor of annexation. Itremains
TO be seen if the American congress and
American people will approve the con
spiracy to make war on the provisional
government at Hawaii, and use military
forces of the United States or the diplo-
matte pressure of the United States for
the restoration of a semi-barbarous queen
IN wanton defiance of the best American
Bpinions and antecedents."

columns, safety is largely a commercial
question In the past the development
OF railways throughout the country was
demanded at the cheapest cost; that
eheapness ignored such questions as the
danger at crossings or the possibility Of
collisions. because low charges on pr
duee and supplies were the first consider
alton. As traffic increased charges dc
cllned, leaving no margin for the pay
ments on the cost OF safeguards. Mr..
Prout trutlffully says that our compa-
MES sooner or later roach point where

But consideration Of the question Of
economy alone will postpone for years
the general matter OF proper safeguards
against casualties.
The article under review deprecates

ltiie Of Impartial publicity of the facts

OF the board Of trade IN England. This
is a remedy we have ourselves advo'
Gated. But to make amends for the ah-
sence Of more stringent statutes against

companies pay high for loss Of limb and
