WHAT is THE KINDERGARTEN .

Matter Worth Studying.
For he heaigarr.
To the superficial observer, tho games
and occupations OF the kindergarten
seem nero amusement.
10 n who looks below, they arc
built upon tho deepest philosophy.
The kindergarten (child's gardenJ as

The first period OF Il child's lie is OF
supreme importance to tho physical do.

unfolding, and especially training OF
sense perceptions, us well as OF tho
moral and spiritual munitions and rs
pirations. This il the epoch in which
he is most susceptible to impressions,
and most influenced by his environ.

The world is beginning to realize that

Parents who thinl, deeply over the
future OF their children are coming to
tho conclusion that sacrifice must be
made and money spent generously at
the beginning as well rs in college days.

out results that give him confidence and
ability TO surmount obstacles.
In the study Of nature the child grad

all the good, the true and tho beautiful.
while through the morning talks sto.

Let us give this matter more careful

DUN'S REVIEW.
The Advance In Corn Discussed-HOw the
Short Crop VIII Affect Railroad Traf-

Short Crop VIII AFFECT Railroad Traf-
fc.
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-R. G. Dun &
Co. S weekly review of trade says:
The advance in corn discloses q general be-
lief that the injury to this most important crop
has been great as to affect materially the
traffic of railroads, the demand of manufact-
ured products and the cost of meats for the
coming years. Unless the markets deceive
and are entirely deceived, our country will
have to face real calamity in the loss of some
thing like 50), 600, 900 bushels of corn and this
loss consumers have to share through the adj
vance of IA cents in two weeks and cents
since Friday of last week. Neither official nor
unofficial statements as yet preclude the hope
that the loss may prove less serious, but at cur
rent prices .5000J0.000 bushels would cost
as much as 2.0JO0OO,00 bushels would cost
fortnight ago. Wheat has risen 81. cents in
the fortnight and ga cents during the week,
although western receipts have been 5,223, 12S
bushels against 3,l62-694 last year. Atlantic
exports are still about half as large year
ago, 1895, 49, bushels against 2.734sSi last year
Pork products are little stronger, as is nat
uraL Cotton has twice risen and again de-
clined sixteenth with increasing prospects
of a large yield closing without change
for the week.
The sales of wool would have been large. ac-
cording to reports from the different markets,
il there had been sufficient stocks available,
but amounted to 1923 400 pounds at the three
eastern markets, against 922O,7O0 pounds two
years ago. Country holders of wool do not at
present appear anxious to let somebody else
speculate it's price and said to be keep
ing back supplies quite generally, although re-
ceipts at Chicago were 4OGO.50l pounds for the
week, against ,127 ,099 for the same week last
year.

CURIosITIEs ABOUT SUGAR.
A Necessity of Modern Life Which Was I'm
known to the AncientS.

A Necessity of Modern Life Which Was I'm
known to the Ancients.
Sugar the modern commodity which
WI class among the Indispensable ne
resSities, was wholly unknown to the
ancient nations. The word ''saccha-
rum" occurs but once in the Latin
translation of the Bible, and the equiv
alent to our word sugar is first used
10y Pliny. whose writings are almost
contemporaneous with the ministry of
Christ. He calls it honey collected in
from reeds, and says that the Romans
first became acquainted with its use in
Ara bia Felix. Stains, in his account
of the old Saturnalia ceremonies, men
tions vegetable honey as being used,
and winds up his account by saying
that the same honey is boiled from
Elosian reeds Dioscorides. the Greek
physician who fourished in the first or
second century of the Christian era,
and whose great work, DE Materia
Medica," treats of all the then known
medicinal substances and their proper
ties, says that the name of sugar has
been given to the honey which is pro-
duced by reeds without bees" and
Strabo, writing concerning it, says:
''They (the people of Arabia Felix
make honey without bees from reeds
and it sometimes resembles salt" Ar
rian, in his Circuit of the Red Sea, -
alludeS to the sap which flows from
reeds, thickens like honey and is sweet
to the taste" Seneca. whom Cham
bers' encyclopedias says was born at
Cordaba few years B. c. writes con-
corning the use of burned sugar
among the people of India, and con-
cludes by adding: I'm my opinion the
use of sugar spoils the teeth" Nearchus
says that sugar cane was first made
known to the western countries by the
conquests of Alexander the Great. The
first of the sugar canes were brought
from the east of Sicily in the year las,
and two years later were introduced in
Spain. In 1908 the Spaniards brought
some of the seeds or plants to the West
Indies, and from these the present
sugar industry has grown. According
to the London Economist, 5.107, 900 tons
of sugar were consumed by the inhab-
itants of the world in 1s93.-Atlanta
Constitution.

FADS AND HOBBIES.
Absurd Sometimes. but They Often Serve
Good Purpose

Absurd Sometimes. but They Often Serve a
Good Purpose.
Blessed indeed, is he that hath
hobby of any kind. Somebody has said
that a fad is the most effectual anti
dote to the miseries of everyday life
that can be found, and will keep even
the arch-enemy, old age, at bay longer
than anything else. Let it be music,
painting. or the study of, and conse-
quent interest in, anything scientific
or even a thing of elementary intelli-
gence only. Collections of all kinds
add an immense zest to middle-aged
Observation-Disclosures of books and rare
bric-a-brac, down to collections of
pressed flowers or insects. Interleav-
ing book of history or story with
suitable photographs will be found an
interesting and satisfactory occupation
for idle hours; and although school
girls diaries have been laughed out of
existence, anyone might compile a most
interesting story of his life by adding
to simple narrative of passing events,
pictures from illustrated papers, pho
tographs. clippings from newspapers,
and odds and ends of drawings, all of
which would be most valuable in the
years to come. not only on account of
association, but as furnishing trust
worthy data in regard to events.
A woman who had fancy in this
way kept for years, for the amusement
of herself and her children, a sort of
illustrated log book or consecutive his
tory of their domestic life, as well as
of their connection with the world
at large. as it was completed on the
library shelves. She had complete his
tory of their lives extending over pc
Rod of twenty years and more, when
suddenly an important lawsuit cropped
up in the family. Charges were made
against her husbands administration
of certain estates. and it would have
been hard to refute them without the
aid of her record; and she had the sat
isfaction of seeing the books brought
into the court to afford complete vim

He VIII Go to Montgomery at the Proper
Time and Set Up Rival Government.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 10.-A special
from birmingham says the Kolbite and
populist committees have been in ses-
sion there for two days. Late this
evening the meeting, which had been
held behind closed doors, adjourned.
Capt. KOlb made the statement after
the meeting, so it is learned on re-
liable authority, that he proposed to
go to Montgomery when the time
comes and be sworn in as governor. 1t
is the plan of the Kolbites to set up a
dual government. Part of the scheme
is to invite all populists elected to the
regular legislature to go into a rump
legisla ture which the Kolbites will set
up; other members of which will be
populist legislative candidates whom
Kolb claimed were counted out.

TIMBER ON PUBLIC LANDS.
McRae's Bill to Prevent Free Use Reported
from the Committee.

from the Committee.
Washington, Aug. 1O.-One of the
most important measures of this con-
gress from the public lands committee
is Mr.. McRae's bill to prevent
the free use of timber of
public lands, which that committee
agreed upon yesterday. The bill
repeats the acts of 1891, regulating the
cutting of timber, and that of 1898,
governing prosecutions for violations
of the law, and provides that hereafter
it shall be unlawful to grant permits
sion to any persons or corporations
to cut timber free of charge Moth
ing in the act is to prevent
the secretary of the interior
from permittin under proper restric-
tions, the use of stone and timber free
to bona fide settlers or mineral pros
pectors for firewood, fencing and
building purposes. The committee
struck out the clause revoking all per-
mits already granted by the interior
department.

The Strikers Must Leave Their Ho1ses-A
Gloomy Outlook for Them
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The Post prints
the following from Pullman: Pull
mans tenants will be evicted- Vice
President Wickes said so yesterday.
The company claims that it must find
houses for its new employees to live in,
and as the strikers have been camping
in the Pullman flats without paying a
cent of rent for the last three months,
they must get-out- This move is the
forever discomft the employees The
company's houses cover about 5000
people at present. These 5000 consist
of the striking workmen and their
families There are about 1 600 new
men in the shops that have families
and that desire to live near their work.
The old employees must make way for
the new.
This will be a death blow to the ten
ants who have been the strikers They
have very little money. When their
scant supplies of household furniture
are set out on the broad street it will
be impossible for them to move them
away. Even now they cannot afford
to buy a pound of coal to cook the

poets are gloomy indeed for
the poverty striker occupants of the
company's barracks-like rows of
houses But Mr.. Wickes' assertion as
to the company's intention of begin

positive and unmistaka BILE. 1t meant
volumes to any one who understands
the condition of the Pullman strikers
