 One of the lovellest things, (and the adjective is used in It's fullest, deepest sense) in Kindergarten teaching Is the constantly recurring lesson of kindness to all living things. The true kinder gartner teaches, beside ,truthfulness, courtesy, thoughtfulness, respect for the rights of others. and generosity, the kindred lesson of reverence for life, not human life alone. but for that of bird and bee and flower.
 '"rhe dear God who loveth us.
 He made and loveth all,"
 Should be painted in clear and beauti- ful letters upon the wall of every room where little children are taught, for it Is one of the most ennobling lessons that they can learn, and 1t is greatly needed to offset some other teachings of the street. and, unfortunately, too often of the home.
 It Is not here laid to the charge of mothers and nurses that they sit down deliberately to teach disregard for life, callousness to suffering, or positive cru city. But some of them repeat day af- ter day and year after year, and teach the little ones to repeat, nursery rhymes that are crude, unwholesome. and, in many cases, of entirely evil influence.
 The time has passed when parents endeavored to terrify their little ones into being good" by teaching them to lisp such awe-compelling words as these:
 There is g. dreadful hell,
 And everlasting pains,
 Where sinners must with devils dwell
 In darkness, fire, and chains!" Impressing upon the little, fearful heart, that there was momentary dan ger of being overtaken by such fate. Happily, the idea of God as loving Father, quick 'to forgive the penitent, is more widely taught than that of an angry Judge waiting to punish baby peccadilloes with an almost eager severity. But such teaching was given conscientiously, by those who believed the child to be prrne to evil as the soarks to fly upward, and it was a solemn duty te drive 1t, even with whip and spur if necessary, in the right direction.
 There has always been some good nursery literature, little stories and songs that told of heroism, of gentle

The production of pure spirits from sugar-beet molasses is new industry in Nebraska. for which great future Is predicted. The method of distilla- ton from molasses Is common In France. and 1t was from that country that an expert was brought to a dis tillery at East Omaha recently to ex- pertinent with the molasses from the sugar-beot, which previously had gone to waste. IL Is claimed that the ex- perlments made at Omaha, which were highly successful. were the first of the kind in this country. In some dis tllleries the molasses from the sugar. cane had been utilized to make spirits, but nothing of the kind had been done with the sugar-beet product. This mo- lasscs In it's raw state Is of a deep- red color somewhat similar to the pure juice of the grape, and Is of the con- sistency of ordinary syrup. When ap- piled to the tongue a sweet taste Is first noticeable, which is immediately followed by an alkaline flavor that renders 1t very undesirable for culinary use. The secret of the French system Is the conversion of the alkaline salts by 8 chemical process, which trans forms the molasses into a sort of glu- cose that is perfectly adapted for dis tillery uses It Is believed that the new use of this molasses will give a decided impetus to the sugar-beet h. dustry, as an excellent grade of spirits can be made from the molasses, supe- rior, it is claimed, to the spirits distilled from corn and rye.

Styles for the First Dozen Years.


 There is fancy for dressing little girls of eight and ten in black satin gowns, made in Mother Hubbard or Kate Greenaway fashion and trimmed with rich lace. Their party gowns are made of the richest materials, satin being much in demand. White wincey is an old material lately revived. It washes well, is soft and pretty and es. pecially adapted for house dresses for young girls. A dainty gown can come from scarlet hop sacktng,a braided in many rows of narrow black soutache. The little skirt is braided from hem to waist, and the bodice has upper sleeves and yoke braided, the rest being plain scarlet.

 analysed samples of molasses sold by

This practice was defended on the ground that the zinc precipitated foreign matter and left the molasses a clear amber color. The analysis show ed, however, that some of the zinc re-. mained in the molasses, to the great danger of the public health. An order was immediately issued by the board that zinc should be no longer used by the manufacturers. The latter declared that its enforcenlent would drive them out of business. Nevertheless the order seems to have been needed until recent ly, when fresh complaints were made to the health authorities that zinc was again entering into the process of clar- flying.

Ohio has come nearer than most States to placing her county seats at the geographical center of the coun- ties. Columbus, the capital, is almost exactly in the center of Franklin county, and the county is close to the geographical center of the State. There are more than twenty counties, each with its county town in the center of the county, and as many more with county towns only few miles from the center.

A herd of eight hundred head, just off the range, were sold at an average price of s5 each recently, and a few days ago, at a sale of fine stock near Portland, splendid matched team big bay horse brought only $2250. Half a dozen years ago such horses would have sold readily for S10O to $150 each.

G. A. Haig, an English expert in the matter of the speed of vessels thinks it possible to construct steamship that would cut the waves at speed of fifty miles an hour. That is better time than is made by the ordinary express train, but MT. Haig says that all that Is re- quired to attain that speed at sea is a ship with engines of 100000 horse power He thinks that such engines could be slowed in the Campania, while another English expert says they would require an engine room 1000 feet in length.

Foreign medical journals describe the new substance known as "IzaI," which exhibits very remarkable disinfectant properties, having the advantage, too, of being non-poisonous even in highly concentrated form where the higher an- finals are concerned, and is also non- irritant. It is a product obtained in the process of coke formation. For sur gical practice in hospitals the method is to keep the fluid diluted down to strength of in 50, bottled ready for use, the subsequent dilution to 1 in 200 being being effected at the actual time of operation; the sponges which are used are cleansed in soda and water, and then rinsed several times in fresh water until they no longer cause any tur- bidity in it, after which they are placed in a jar of sizap-1 in 200-and kept there at least twenty-four hours before use.

Golf, that ancient and royal game of the

to consist in knocking gutta pcrcha ball

knows that there is more to the pastimc
than this. Much skill and great deal of
physical vigor and endurance are required.
There are many reasons why golf may
never become q game for the people. The

with to knock it may be within the reach
of the amateur of moderate means, but

Construction of Theater Stages.

The stage construction and machinery
of majority of theaters are antiquated,
and the system followed from time I'M
memorial is susceptible of much improve
mcnt.
A novel plan of stage construction was
offered and seriously entertained for the
new Paris Opera House. This was to di-
vide the whole stage into small platforms,
each supported ON pistons moving up and
down in hydraulic presses. A lever put
in motion by the stage manager would
thus elevate or depress any section of tho
stage TO the height or depth required
This system, which was rejected by the
Paris Opera House because the space be-
low the stage was lost, being filed with
pumps and apparatus, and was actually
adopted at the new Vaudeville, but never
came into use, has since then been intro
duced into number of smaller theaters
with absolute success. Its great advan-
tago consists in reducing the risk of fire
by substituting simple iron construction,
iron supports and iron machinery for the
innumcrablo wooden traps under the
stage.

can heart Zimmerman was for years the
greatest amateur wheelman in the United
States, and when he went abroad to race
for cash it was believed he would sweep
everything before him. He was long
time in getting fit, and in his first race
abroad, in Italy, was outgeneraled by the
Italians, two of whom effectually pocketed
him, while the third spurted and won the
race.
In Belgium, July 1, Zimmerman,
Harry Wheeler, his swift Fidus Achates;
Medinger, the great French racing man;
Houben, the Belgian, and other good rid
ers started. Zimmerman again was peck
eted, and although he defeated Medinger
he was beaten by Houben, who crossed the
the Belgians saw that their champion had
beaten the world famous Zimmerman, they
nearly went mad with joy. After to- race
Zimmerman's modest comment was: I'VE
held Houben too cheaply. He's good
rider, and he beat me simply because he
went too fast" Zimmerman ut once chal-
lenged Houben to race him for $4,000 q
side, but the Belgian could not raise the
money. Houben was equally modest.
Il think beat you by 1uke," he said,
land am by no means sure l can do it
again."
Since then Zimmerman has become the
idol of Paris by defeating several of the
best riders in Franco. Edwards, the Eng
fish rider who has beaten Modinger and
Louvet, two of the swiftest Frenchmer,
was Zimmernan's first victim, and Bar
den, another fast Englishman, was easily
disposed of. If Zimmerman remains fit,
he will without doubt defeat Houben when
they meet again and win nine out of ten
of his match races in Paris.
