HELPING THE pEop1E AT HOME.

Having Some One Else to Care for is Much
 to the Credit of the American Girl.
 There are very few of us earning our living who have not some one else to care for, and that is much to the ciedit of the American girl, writes Rutll Ash more in very sensible article on "The Girl and Her Money" ,n the August La dies Home Journal. Sometimes 1t is the people at home; sometimes It is a younger sister who is to be helped with her education, but always d helping hand is needed You laugh ut the idea of making will, but no mater how lit tie you have, if it is nothing but your gold watch, you ought to attend to its disposition. And if thsce are people depending upon you, old people, stop the soda water, stop ae candy and have your life insured. You will not die any the sooner, and you will feel that the mother or the young sister you love so dearly will not, when you cease to be here, depend upon tbs hard chari- ty of strangers.

Make the Child a Moral Vertebrate-Devel-
 op an Gaseous Shaft.
 The first and fundamental thing that the home has to do for the child in the way of education Is, then, to help make of him little moral vertebrate, writes the Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst D. D., in vigorous article on "The TSaInin1 of a Child" in the August Laeies' Home Journal, There needs to he de- veloped an osseous shaft cunning up and down him that shall form the aXls around which his growing personality shall gather itself to compactress and fixity. That will make the boy mean something, and make him mean more and more till the end of time, and clear on into eternity It is the only thing that will make him worth calling per- sonal integer,
 To learn to obey is the hardest even as it is the most valuable lesson a child can ever acquire. It is not only valuable for what it is ia itself, it is also valuable for what 1t serves as the basis of. 'One of the first things tcl1 us of Jesus has to do with this sahe matter. It is related to us that He was | subject to His parents; and the nara | tive immediately after goes on to re- mark that He grew in wisdom and in favor with God and men. The close juxtaposition of the two seems calcu- lated to teach that obedience was the seed kernel out of which His intelli- gence and holiness waxed.

Within that home, now desolate by the
death of its owner, is the grief-stricken
widow, woman of fine appearance and
kindly face, who, with fearful eyes, is
awaiting the arrival of the mortal remains
of the one who in life had been all the
world to her.
There Is nothing that / know at this

of my poor husbands death. There is no
reason for surprising that he took his life,
for he abhorred the idea of suicide, and
often did l hear him declare that any one
who committed suicide was coward. and

and the only recourse that Messrs. Miller
and Hughes, the deposed members, have is
in the Supreme Court, to which they will
appeal as soon as the necessary prelimi-
naries can be arranged.
The litigation, which was brought to a
close by Judge Tricks opinion, was begun
Immediately after the late election and
affects large portion of the municipal
patronage. When Messrs. Peirsol and
Wilson were declared elected they pro-
ceeded with the Mayor to GUST the old
board, consisting of Messrs. Miller and
Hughes. The latter gave way after a
meeting of all interested parties hao been
held and a promise made by
the newly-elected board that no removals
would be made of ineumbents in salaried
Offices until the courts had been given a
chance to pass on the merits of the case.
Then Messrs. Hughes and Miller imme-
diately began suit to regain possession OF
their seats, alleging that the election by
which Messrs. Davie, Peirsol and Wilson
should be allowed to serve out the term for
which they were appointed.
Messrs. Peirso1 and Wilson and Mayor
Dayie, who was made party to the suit,
demurred to the complaint, and it was
agreed that the case should be decided on
its merits by the court sitting in bank.
Both sides employed eminent counsel
and the arguments on both sides were both
long and strong. Now that the court has
finally passed on the matter it is under
stood that Louis Schaffer, the incompe-
tent Chief of Police, Chief Lawton of the
Fire Department and his two assistants,
and Superintendent Of Streets Harrison
will be at once removed and men ap-
pointed who viii be more to the liking of

with whom any particular dissatisfaction
is felt, and that his removal will made
at once. Hugh Aldrich, former member
of the department, who made a splendid
record while on the force and then re-
signed: to take up.practice as an attorney,

whose wishes are said to bear much weight
with Mayor DAVE. Should he succeed in

ton of the force islooked for.

"RUFFIHO WAS WELL KNOWN

Louis J. Ruffino, whose dead body was

in this community, particularly in the
Mission district, where he was born in 1866
His father, who was an Italian, came to
this City in 1S49 from Buenos Ayres and

the old Mission church.
Early in 1850 he built::a IAN adobe building,
one of those picturesques structures of sun
dried mud, prevalent in the early days.
This building, which stood on the west
side of Dolores street, about twenty-five
feet north of Sixteenth, is still there and is

been removed in the march of i'm
