SUNSHINE AT LAST.

1t was such disappointing morning
Pat, pat. went the rain against the win
dow, and splash, splash in the street be-
low. The grass bent before it and the
clouds of dust that for week had taken
possession of the streets. dancing hither
and thither ,hinging themselves into peo-
pies eyes. and ruffling tempers. were laid
low. The rain was very much needed.
everybody wanted it, but not that day.
That is the way with so many of our
blessings, we would rather have them
some other time.
To begin with. there was to be an ex-
cursion down the river, and all three of
of the children-Rose and Mary ard
Carl-were going. Itseemed quite use,
less to explain to them that no one could
go day like that. and the treat was
only postponed. They felt as if the OPP
portunity of life time was gone for
good. Mrs. Shaw was disappointed. too,
because she had planned to enjoy most
delightful day of rest and quiet when
the children were gone. In the laundry
Nora was grieving. because it was wash
day and the clothes would have to dry
in the house. She never could make
them so white as if the sun shone on
them. So the whole house was out of
sorts.
20, mother, what shall we do! What
shall we dol" cried the children in cho-
rus. viewing the dismal outlook.
Mrs. Shaw smothered little sigh.
Suppose you cut out pictures she sug-
gested briskly
I'VE haven't any to cut" said Rose.
"Or scissors to cut with" added Mary.
20, dearr' said Carl.
just wait minute before you make
that exclamation. Carl" said Mrs. Shaw
pleasantly. "for I'll lend you all three
some scissors, and l have some papers
magazines and cards with lovely pictures
on that have been saving long time
for YOU"
Soon they we're seated on the floor and

Something for All.

The late Robert Louis Stevenson had
happy way of applying religion to life
and showing how it should work out in
practice. Talking one day to the child
rem at a school in Samoa about the par
able of the talents, he told them there
were three they all possessed tongues,
that they must use to be cheerful and
make those happy who we're round
them. Faces. that they must keep as
bright as a new shilling, SO that they
might shine like lamps in their homes.
Hands, that they must keep employed
in useful work cheerfully done; and il
they spent their lives in doing these
things for the good of others, they might
he be told at last: "Inasmuch as ye did
it unto one of the least of these, ye did

we want for building character, a
building not made with hands, that
will stand forever. First, look with
me at a house that is made with
hands. that the carpenter builds. Then
look at his various tools. Here is
saw, which suggests the preliminary
preparation of the timber by the saw
yer,then is transferred to the carpenter
who uses hand saws of various kinds,
according to the work which hewishes
to bring out, and according to the
kind of wood to answer his purpose.
But how can a kindergarten use
saws Many a child, is brought to
her in the rough. First, she studies
his nature and his needs, then with
most delicate handling and discern
ment, for she has child of God to
deal with, she applies her saw of tact,
which means everything. Tact means
peculiar skill with each individual
child, for no two children are alike,
and much depends on her to develop
the grand possibilities lying dormant
in every child.
Tact means much when taking the
children as whole. For they are a
class of social beings learning the
lessons of courtesy, kindness, unset
fishness and helpfulness to each
other.
The surface of wood is smoothed
by planning. According to the work,
different kinds of planes are used;
the jack plane, large and rough, for
taking away the rough of the saw;
and the smoothing plane, for the
smooth finished surface.
Discipline is the plane so necessary
to train and educate the mind of the
child that he may learn self.control,
which enables him to surrender his
immediate desires for the good of
others, and in the end for his own
good. The jack-plane first, to smooth
the toughest parts of the child's
character. Many faults must be
overlooked or ignored at first, for too
much watchfulness will Illustrate the
object to be attained. The smooth
ing plane for the finer work comes in
later.
And the teacher must here use the
wise of firmness if she would succeed
in helping the child to understand
that she means what she says, and he
can rely upon her words. Decision
in her voice and manner will com
mand obedience. If she makes a
promise, she always keeps it if she
would gain the child's confidence.

WHAT THE LITTLE SHOES SAID

I saw two dusty little shoes
A-standing by the bed;
They suddenly began to talk
And this is what they SAID;
..We'er Just as tired as we can be-
We'ev been most everywhere;
And now our little master rests
1t really is not fair.
He's had his bath, and sweetly sleeps
,Twixt sheets both cool and clean'
While we are left to stand outside;
Now don't you think it mean?
We've carried him from nom till night;
He's quite forgot. that's plain;
while here we watch, and wait and walt
Till morning comes again.
And then heel tramp, and tramp, ana tramp
The liyelong summer day,
Now this is what we'd like TO 90
just carry him away
Where he could never go to bed
But stand DIP all the night
sJnwashed, and covered DER with dust
indeed, twonld serve him right"

and he loves force. 1t is the boys
who want to play the blacksmith Oh
mailer games in the kindergarten, as
best suited to their sturdy natures
1t is the teacher with the hammer Of
energy that can meet that latent force
and turn it to account, who will be
most successful. The energetic boys,
the boys with push will make the
true men this world demands.
Look in the tool -chest again. Here
are pinchers to draw nails--a very
essential tool in the kindergarten. 1t
is the drawing out method. Find
what is in the child by drawing it out
of him. This examining child's
mind as if it were sponge, and must
be stuffed with knowledge, is not
true education. That has been done
for centuries, and we hope will soon
be relic of the past. Draw out
what is in the child, then you are
sure it is his own. Next put him on
the right track by teaching him to
apply what he does know by doing.
Through doing what is wise and
right, he builds up the character
which is to make him what he can be
in time and for eternity.
The gifts and occupations in the
kindergarten are the tools by which
the child learns to apply his knowl-
edge. The amount of work he does,
the mat he weaves, or the clay birds
nests he models is not the aim OF the
true kindergarten. The visible re-
suits are not works of art she has to
show. It is through the doing of
these the child develops his power
and unfolds his nature through les
sons of self reliance, helpfulness, per-
severance, kindness and love.
In the screw-driver, we have con-
centration. To gain the interest and
attention of little children, the teach
err must concentrate her thoughts to
the point to make it telling. If she
wanders off, the children's minds
will wander, and she loses them.
Another important tool is the au-
ger, which signifies perseverance
Ground now, round now, ever round
it goes" we hear the children sing so
often. Keep at it until the hole be
smooth and true. Persevere and the
goal will be reached, the victory will
be ours.
The chisel is patience. Here a
little, and there great deal. Over
and over, and over again, the chill
dren must be told. The bad habits
will creep in, and the teacher with
her chisel of patience, must pare
them off to bring out a good pat
tern.
The square, an instrument fol
drawing straight lines and tracing
right angles, is a perfect standard by
which we NAV measure our lives and
actions. Deviate to the right or to
the left, it will not be straight. sc
we aim to keep to the mark and be
true, and thus help the children to
go in the right direction.
The compass, for measuring dis
tances and drawing circles, is love
by which we circumscribe our lives
For love is our motto in work or in
play. Love, not fear, will win the
children's hearts, and they will love
to obey. Fill the atmosphere of the
kindergarten with the sunshine oil
love, and the child garden will bios
som into beautiful flowers, that will
some day bear good fruit.-Kinder-
garten Messenger.

What does the preacher do first
asked grandma.
He takes text, and then he 'splains
it. can't do that
0, yes you can, Eddie. said grandma.
Here is good text for you to explain:
Be ye kind one 10 another"
There's nothing to 'splain about
that said Eddie. "You just be kind to
everybody, and that's all there is of it. /"
"a good text, though, for my little
preachers first sermon. | should like
to have him preach from it for week.
Preach week? Why, grandma, |
can't" exclaimed Eddie.
Cant you be kind to everybody you
meet for one week."
Eddie looked thoughtful.
Would that be preaching?" he asked.
ut would, and the very best kind. A
good preacher has to preach in that way,
or peor lie will not listen to what he says
in the pulpit
WELL said Eddy, with sigh. II sup
pose can try; but l wasn't thinking
about that kind of preaching"
you'll be showing everybody what
that verse. in the Bible means, you
know" said grandma.
1T is not kind 10 the teacher to whis-
per in school, said Eddie the very next
day, and he did not whisper once.
Its not kind to Bridget to play along
the road and keep my dinner waiting,
either" and he hurried home from
school.
Its not being kind to mamma when
don't do errands promptly" he said;
and he did quickly and we'll whatever
he was bid.
Every day and all day he thought
about what was kind, ard tried to do it.
The end of the week came.
How do you like preaching" asked
grandma.
Why, like it; but. grandma, guess
everybody must have been preaching
about that text, for everybody has been
SO kind to me. "-Maafoa1er.

investis CATION of grand juries and officials
are formal and farcieal. They are made
when expected and are always provided
for. The people Who travel in the steer
age can tell OF the steerage fare. 1t is the
man who goes to en- asylum as a lunatic,
to prison as convict and to the inebri-
ates' home as drunkard. who can learn
the inside facts regarding public institu-
tions. The most fragrant rlscality, the
most immoral relations and the most
brutal treatment may characterize the
management of a place of confinement
and the world be in ignorance of it all.
The mission of the reporter under such
circumstances is the mission of human
ity. 1t is entitled to the support of the
public and has always received it,
and always will SO lorg as decency,
justice and kindness are predominant in
civilized society. II MIR. Warren was
guilty Of any contempt it was purely
technical ir' character. 1t was, if any at
all, contempt that in no way refec ted
on the dignity or disturbed the peace of
the court. 1t was a contempt without
intent and incidental to the performance
of work of great public importance. 1t
was IN an act to facilitate and not TO in-
pede justice. The judicial officer who will
visit the outrageous punishment inflicted
by Judge Clark on the Herald repre-
sentative obstructs the public desire to
know all about the conduct of public in
stitutions. and places a premium on
official delinquency, neglect and inhu-
manity by making dangerous and expen-
sive the only kind of inspection that in
spects, the only exposure that is made
fully, freely and fearlessly. By his re-.
marks made IN and outside of his court
room aud IN the exorbitant punish ment
inflicted, Judge Clark has evidenced a
vlndictiveness entirely unwarranted by
the offense and absolutely unbecoming
in judge OF the superior court.
And the dignity of the court that he
seems to prize so expensively has been
more degraded by the spectacle of his
honor chasing around to the various de-
partments and conspiring with the other
judges to make any writ OF habeas cor
pus that the defendant might apply for
after sentence, made returnable only to
his own department.. He has exhibited
an interest and evinced an anmosity
and general inclination to "cinch" the
Herald representative that would not be
warranted in the case of a hardened
criminal guilty of heinous crime, un e.
worthy of the court undignifed in a

ADJUSTMENTS

Orpheum.-The programme for this
week, inaugurated at this popular house
last night, is fully up to the standard of
those which nave made the Orpheum the
most popular pleasure resort OF Los An
geles.
The farce Turn Him Out, or Little John
L., given as q curtain raj ser, is not quite
as spirited as some others that have been
given on the boards OF this theater, nd
did not arouse much enthusiasm among
the critics in the upper regions. Never
theless some of Mr.. Macintosh Moke' S
unfortunate experiences with the tamale
peddler had the privilege of raising the
mirth of the audience.
Mr.. Meyer Cohn, the baritone who has
delighted the hahitpes OF the Orpheum
for the last three weeks. appeared again
in his ballad, illustrated with steIeopticon
illustrations on the subject of his songs.
Jules Levy, the world renowned cor
mist. played several popular selections.
He is always incom parable, but last
night he actually excelled himself.
The hit of the evening was Amann.
who imrersonated several celebrities.
such as Gladstone, Napoleon /. Bismarck
Ben Harrison and Grove: Cleveland. in a
manner hitherto unknown on the Ameri-
can stage. These lightning changes are
done without the use of any of the paints
and colors employed in the facial make
up of the actors.
Falke and Lemon made their initial
bow in q musical comedy full Of novelties
in the way of quaint and original instru-
ments and new gags. They were very
kindly received. 1t was also the first APP
pearance of the Salambos. a pair of elec-
| trical wonders, who emit fire at will from
| anything they touch and do many very
wonderful things lin which flames and
sparks play the principal part.
