RAILROAD NOTES.

Surrogate Fitzgerald has returned to
David Mcclure, appraiser of the Jay
Gould estate, his report on its value
in order that the collateral inheritance
tax may be levied. The report values
the personal property of the estate at
$50, ,934, $50. and the real estate at
s., 600, 600, The residuary estate amounts
to $73,234,547. The appraiser Is ordered
to compute the commissions OF the ex-
ecutors and trustees and to deduct the
full amount from the whole estate be-
fore dividing the residuary estate
among the children. The expense of
administering the estate is ordered to
be made known and the future expense
of administration Is to Ibe estimated.

The Sleep of Children.

A child should be in bed as the fowls
are at shutdown at least And he should
be allowed to rise in the morning rs soon
as he wakes 1t is not only torture but
an unhealthy mischief, to compel children
to lie awake two hours to prevent disturb
ing older people. The morning sun is most
essential to plant life A conservatory
should always, if possible, be on the east
side of house. 1t is equally true that the
morning sun is most valuable for animal
vigor, and that includes human beings.
We, all of us, are breaking both ends of
the law. Our sleep should be taken earlier,
and we should never fail of getting the
morning sun.

The CORRECTION of Roses,

Household News gives formula for a
CONNECTION of rose leaves which, it is
claimed is the secret of an oriental harem:
Take jar of which the mouth and bottom
are the same size, like "A Dundee marina
lade jar, and on the bottom sprinkle a lay
er of crystalliZed sugar Over that place
layer of fresh rose petals and alternate the
sugar and petals until the jar is filed,
taking care to have the sugar as the top
layer. Paste two or three thicknesses of
paper over the top and set away from
children and mice, in "a dark place. In au-
tumn it is ripe and fit to serve. The con
lection is delicious to those who have tried
it when made from flowers of real fra
GRANGE. The familiar potpourri may be
varied, according to the same authority,
by including other flowers in its prepare
ton. According to the season may be add
ed to the jar alternate layers of fine salt,
mignonette, heliotrope, violets, rose gera-
NUNS and tuberoses.

Punishment of Children.

\ recent writer calls attention to the ac
tive part that scntimcntality plays iii the
matter Of chidrcn's punishment, both at
home and in the Kindergarten. The small
offender is placed in dramatic relation to
his own little community instead of being
made to realize that by his own act he has
put himself outside the community He
is brought into prominence and somewhat
on thi, principle: 'Johnnies got dyna
mite bomb. and Johnnic's got gun, but
he is going to be IA good little boy and isn't
going to throw his bomb and he isn't GO
ing to shoot his gun, and he isn't going to
kill US. Johnpics going to be Il good lit
tie boy. And Master Johnnie who hasn t
the slightest desire to be good, whose dra-
matic instinct is thoroughly aroused by
the prominence given to his naughtncss
and the amount of attention that he is re
cciving, quite enjoys the situation, and the
kindcrgartener, under the mistaken appre-
hension that she is looking after the lost
sheep, as was quoted to one critic, is sim
ply emphasizing the value of naughtiness
to the other little lambs proving that if
they want personal attention it is well for
them to break the law.
After citing several pertinent examples,
showing the prevalence of this sort of
thing, the article winds up with: Mercy
is IA valuable quality, but justice is just as
valuable. Charity is beautiful garment,
but it must be properly worn. To make
even "a little child conscious of sin is to
open that child's mind develop his intelli-
gence and educate him as to his relation &c

Shoes Made for Show,

"These shoes that l bought here only
three or four weeks ago are nearly worn
out already" said an angry woman to the
retailer and the shoes corroborated the
last part of the charge. 81 paid 81 for
them, and they ought to have lasted lon
ger than that,
The dealer took the shoes quietly, glanc
ed inside at the Innings and then replied;
"These shoes were bought here little
more than three months since. They cost
you just 81 30 and have probably done pref
ty good service for the cost. | never rec
ommend those shoes any further than to
say that for the money they are fairly good
ones"
A small, inconspicuous stamp, with the
dealers name, the date of sale and the
selling price, had proved that the customer
was wrong. The dealer remarked after she
left:
81 could have given her u more service
able shoe for the price, but those are
trimmed almost equal to II SO shoe, in APP
pearance at least, and she paid for that in
stead of durability. Shoe and Leather

these in the daily papers-for this was
Secretary Stanton's way of telling the
people that the Army Of Northern Vir-
ginia had at last laid down its arms,
and that peace had come again. But
the great news had really reached
Washington the night before palm
Sunday, and a few newspaper men
and others of late habits, who were up
through the darkness and the damp
ness of those memorable hours, had
sent the glad tidings all over the Union
from Maine to California-and had
then unbent themselves in a private
and exclusive Publication When the
capital was broad awake, and had taken
in the full value of the news, the fever
heat that had fred the city on the day
after the fall of Richmond did not re-
turn. Popular feeling had eliminated
then, and after that great event there
was nothing that could surprise us-not
even if JEFF" Davis himself had come
to Washington to surrender. The
streets were shockingly muddy, but
were all alive with people singing and
cheering, carrying flags, and saluting
everybody, hungering and thirsting for
speeches. General Butler was called
out, among others, and he made a
speech full of surprising liberality and
generosity towards the enemy. The
departments gave another holiday to
their clerks; so did many business
firms; and the treasury employees as
sembled in the great corridor of their
building and sang cold Hundredth :"
with thrilling, even tear compelling eff
feet. Then they marched in body
across the grounds to the White House,
where the president was at breakfast,
and serenaded him with The Star
spangled Banner" 1.-THE Century.

Announcing Lees Surrender.

The booming of cannon at daylight
gave the news in Washington. But
greater things were yet to come. Most
people were sleeping soundly in their
beds. AT daylight on the rainy morn
ing of April 10, 1865, great boom
startled the misty air, shaking the very
earth and breaking the windows of
houses in Lafayette Square, and NOV
ing the inhabitants OF that aristocratic
locality to say once more that they
would be glad when Union victories
were done with, or should be celebrated
elsewhere. Boom! booml went the
guns, until five hundred were fired A
few people got up in the chill twilight
of the morning, and raced about in the
mud to learn what the good news might
be, while others formed a procession
and resumed their parades--no damp
ness, no fatigue, being sufficient to de-
press their ardor. But many placidly
lay abed, we'll knowing that only one
military event could cause all this
mighty pother in the air of Washington;
and if their nap in the gray dawn was
disturbed with dreams Of guns and of
terms of armies surrendered to Grant
by Lee, they awoke later to read of
