GOVERN YOUR TEMPER.
Parents Should Exercise a Greater Con-
troll Over the Disposition of the Child

"a still tongue denotes wise head
is an old and true proverb. What
tongue and temper have not done toward
the downfall of man cannot be told.
A fiery temper causes hasty, venom
Gus tongue, and to bride your tongue
you must first curb your temper. This
proneness to anger on our part renders
us unfit associates for the gentle, and
really refined people will shun anyone
thus afflicted. This thing we call tenn
per is like unto tiny spark in hay
NOW. At first it hardly amounts to
anything, but it grows larger, unless
checked, until the NOW is destroyed
So it is with us. The spark of ill-tem-
per finds lodging place and grows till
it seems utterly impossible to quell or
root it out, and the mind as we'll as the
body is lost.
Exhibition of temper toward one
another in the home shows lack of
breeding and is indulged in only by
those who do not care for the beautiful
in life and who only see the rough un-
slightly side. Curb your temper and
your intellect will expand, but let it
run at will, you will be considered
monomaniac, and as one unfit for peo-
pie ofgentle breeding to associate with.
This giving way to temper has been the
cause Of ruin to many bright being,
and has blighted the affections of
hundreds who would have otherwise
been true friends to the ones so sadly
afflicted.
Everybody likes to see a child have
spirit, but temper and spirit are differ
ent articles. Often is the case when
nothing can be done to meet the appro-
baton of a person who has in the least
tried to control this bad habit. He has
reached stage of surliness that people
think he had best be let severely alone.
Temper must be curbed in children.
There has been, and yet is tendency
in parents to let their children have
their own way. Something occurs
that does not exactly meet the ideas of
the youngSter and he at once proceeds
to exhibit phase of his character and
development of which the parent is
ignorant, that of an exceedingly hot tenn
per. The parent must then of neces
sity break this habit, no matter in
what manner, or the child is sure to be
ruined. A curbed temper and bridled
tongue go far to make the pathway of
life continuous round of pleasure.

milan for his rejection of their services
was fear of being entangled in inter
national complications with the United
States. Had he accepted the services
of Genl's Price, Shelby, Hindman and
other veteran soldiers who had seen
service in the civil war of the United
States he might to day be ruler
of Mexico. Almost surrounded by the
enemy, with his army going to pieces
by desertion, he abandoned the capital
retiring to Queretaro at which place he
was captured together with his faith

France in requesting his captors to
spare the life of the ill-fated emperor
without avail.
The Princess Charlotte could not
be induced to listen to the entreat-
les of her husband and her rela-
tives to leave the country and remain
abroad until the revolution was settled.
But, ever by his side for three
weary years in a foreign country, this
noble woman remained true to the VOWS
of her youth, and braved the dangers of
a soldiers tent, rather than partake
the luxurIes of a European court with
out her husbands presence.
After Maximillian's execution his
wife was allowed .9leave the country
and among her royal relatives in Aus
tria and Belgium she met with loving
and tender care; but the scenes of

MAMMALIAN AND CHARLOTTE.
Their Trials and Misfortunes as Rulers
of Mexico.

Maximillian was born in Vienna Aus
tria July 6. 1882 and was the son of
Archduke Charles.
Having received a thorough military
education, he married Princess Char
lotte, daughter of Leopold 1st. King of
the Belgians, in 1857. 1t was said at
the time no other couple, in all the
brilliant courts of Europe were more
admired for personal accomplishments
and virtues. The princess being noted
for her beauty and considered one of
the best matrimonial alliances of her
day.
Napoleon III, of France, dreaming of
union of the latinraces and by intrigue
with a defeated political faction in
Mexican politics, obtained the rein Of
government in Mexico, rendering Maxi
MILAN the Imperial Mexican crown.
Not without grave fears was it accepted,
but after considerable deliberation
Maximillian and his wife accepted the
throne of Montezuma in 1864. Mexico
since it's conquest by Cortez in the six
teenth century, has been one of the
most turbulent and unstable govern
ments known to history; revolution and
internal strife have ever drenched its
soil with blood. The royal robes were
hardly assumed by Maximillian ere he
found himself involved in war with his
subjects, minority alone espousing
his cause. Revolution after revolution
swept the country. Refugees from the
late confederate states of America
sought Mexico's protection, after thei1
defeat by the north, and offered theil
services to the Emperor; but with fore
thought bordering upon imbecility hi
refused their succor until it was to(

the moral environment was at
its darkest period. Evil has occasion
ally preponderated, and the contrary
has yet to come to pass. Brotherly
love has never been mans ruling i'm
pulse; as far as we can see only a general
average is maintained. Great benefits
are attended by great injuries; wicked
ness is as great to-day as in the time of
Moses. Speedy punishment has sought
to suppress crime-yet, criminal i'm
pulses still remains in man. Human
nature remains the same, consequently
it is with the human heart, and not
with outward circumstances that re-
form must begin.
The millennium has become deeply
rooted in the being, and no disappoint-
ment or delay will extirpate it; each
new generation has taken it up with
new enthusiasm; the signs of the
times are interpreted; old prophecies
are recalled; old theories with a new
dress are brought forward through
such an era are we passing; the nine
teenth century is nearing its end, and
many look forward to an awakening,
such as marked the closing scenes of
the eighteenth.
War and bloodshed are threatening
all Europe; China and Japan are slay-
ing each other. Gladstone the great,
has retired. The mighty Car is near
ing his long home. Science has reached
that point where she almost discloses
the secret of life. Christianity is all
most free from forms and dogmas
The social relations of man with man
and man with woman are being ex-
pounded. In the political field the
movement is in the direction Of pop
ular self government. Monarchy is
criticised and deposed; dictatorship
limitation, abdication are in line
Many find the restraint of Republic
irksome, and other grades of emanci
patton urged; such as Nihilism, Soci
alism, Communism. Capital in the
hands of corporations and individuals
is trying to control commerce, manu-
factures, and workingmen; the latter
on the other hand, are striving fol
their rights. Every where there is al
uneasy stir as of impending change.
Change will come, whether of tht
kind expected we shall know later. II
may be in the line of Henry George:
theory, or of Mr.. Bellamy's fantastic
dreams. 1t will come step by step; W.
will feel no strangeness, only the pas
will seem strange as we look back
If our spirit is good we can not d'
evil. No revolution is effective Wher,
only the form is overthrown. Betweel

A FAMILIAR SUBJECT.
From Present Indications the Social
Problem a Hard One to Solve.

Every body is ready to think or say
something about new social admin
stration. Pluto and Aristotle began it,
in their discussion on the fall of Adam,
and from that day to the present, the
leading points of the subject have been
written on; but the fact is,. it is so inter
esting and of such speculative value,
the subject always remains fresh,
otherwise it would be dismally stale.
The reformed dispensation is ever to
come-it never is hereto some in all
ages it is close at hand. Mankind loves
the excitement of prospective change;
aye, more than he might love the
change itself. Sometimes this sum
shine seems actually to appear, but in
moment it is gone and the old familiar
cloud closes in; still there has never
been likelihood that the cloud would
entirely disappear; if we look at the
present social situation the chances are
less than they have been in the past.
Still, likelihood has nothing to do with
the speculations of optimism. Hope is
a divine instinct in man. History of
individual and race prove this, "when
hope has failed to reach the expected
it has led to changes"-a hopeful
nature is source of energy and good
achievement. Hope with a purpose to
back it has pulled the human race out
of many a mire, while the best that
pessimism has done is to avert temp
orary inconvenience.
1 believe if optimism were abolished
pessimism for self-peservation, would
turn to optimism. The story of the
deluge describes an age, when man was
utterly swamped in sin. When Christ

THE PURITY OF THE STAGE.
The Average Character of the Stage Vul-
gar and Unfit to be Seen.

For centuries man has been accuS-
toned to convene to witness and en-
Joy some sort of entertainment. There
is a native charm in the spectacle of
novel exhibition of skill, the sight of
a daring feat, or the performance of
trained body. Even to the shedding
of blood and the awful sight of torture
and violent death, does this natural
element of humanity extend, as wit
ness the contests of the gladiator of
old, the bull-ring, and the fiendish
tortures applied to victims by the early
Indians on our own frontiers.
We are forced to pause little when
we are brought face to face with some
of the evils with which conscientious
and upright persons had to contend
during those periods of recklessness
and barbarity. While it is natural to
attempt to contribute to the enjoy
ment of the soul, yet, with most of U.S.,
there is feeling of antipathy or even
of repugnance, toward an exhibition of
degrading scenes, loud and reckless
acts, or unnecessary bloodshed, as
often happens at bull or cockfght,
or pugilstic encounter.
The days of chivalry are over, and
we turn to the stage for an opportun-
ity to while away a pleasant or profit
able hour, as a means of relief or re-
taxation from the pressing cares of
life. Comparatively few persons in a
large city have resource to any other
kind af amusement. The Importance,
-then of witnessing only healthy per-
formances is obvious People will pay
for their curiosity, and they will pay
all the more, and willingly too, if they
can be convinced that the effect of the
performance is elevating in tone and
character
The stage, in administering to the
comfort of man, must furnish sooth
ing sense of qualification and inspira
ton in order to retain his patronage
Itmust be pure and free from all that is
trifling and immodeSt in order to up
hold high sense of culture and refine
ment among it's visitors. The theatre
is not crowded simply because of love
of society, or of a desire on the part O.
the people to come together. Their
must be an object of attraction, ant
that object must be one of purity an(
culture, or it will fail of it's design t.
live on in delighted memory; it will
refuse to take root at the very soul O.
man; and his resolves, motives AM
efforts toward better life will b.
choked up as with weeds.
Notice the character of the averag
entertainment presented on the stag
today. and it will be seen that there

THE CRUCIAL TEST.

1t is easy enough to be pleasant
While life flows by like song,
But the man worth while is the ole who
will smile
When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with years,
And the smile that is worth the praises of
earth
Is the one that shines through tears.
1t IS easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray.
When without or within no voice of sin
Is Turing your soul away.
But it is only negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire,
And the life that is worth the honor of earth
Is the one that reSists desire.
BY the cynic. the sad the fallen,
Who hath no strength for the strife,
The worlds highway is numbered to-day;
They make up the items of life.
But the virtue that cOnquerS passion,
And the sorrow that hides in smile,
1t is these that are worth the homage of earth,
For we find them but once in a while.

DR.. A. jacob, who was Americas
leading representative at the Berlin,
London and Copenhagen congresses,
has this to say of the purposes of these
gatherings: "a man not being ubiqui.
tous may not take with him many
things new, but what he carries homo
Is new stimulus and encouragement.
In these congresses you see a great
many men whom you thought you
knew, but since you listen to them,
and watch them while you listen and
take their measures, you know better.
You see and hear the living objects
of your admiration. the molders Of
professional thought in all countries;
discoverers, teachers, laboratory work
ers, practitioners; those who, after
hard work, create books by sponta-
neous generation ont Of their brains,
and those who compile them out of
their pigeon holes; the eagles, the
bees and the moles-also the parrots
and that class of envious cuckoos who
transfer other birds eggs into their
own nests. You find there is room
in our great army for many men,
and many classes Of men. You
gather encouragement from learning
that even truly great men are still
men, and human, and that some de-
gree of greatness is within the grasp
Of any man, in town or village, who
will work for it intelligently, bravely
and honorably. All this is what a con-
gress will teach those who consent to
learn.
There is another lesson that Is
taught by congress: The separation
into nineteen or twenty sections proves

America will be well represented in
the mass conventions, for among the
leading speakers of the congress is DR..

He also is chairman of the American

to him, of 81. ?. Bowditch, of Boston;
S. C. Busey, of Washington; G. Cush-

who will attend. The official list COM

however, held in midsummer, and the
six hundred American practitioners,

Socially, they bring together the
