WHERE DO CHILDREN LEARN
LYING.
Donahoe's Magazine.

Donahoe's Magazine.
A Chicago kindergarten teacher says
that mothers come to her so often
asking how they shall break their chill
dren from telling untruths, that she
has almost come to the conclusion
that lying is national evil. Humili.
ating as is this conclusion, its truth
cannot be gainsaid.
81 am SO distressed" said mother
to her boys teacher, that Freddie
could deceive you so. l can't imagine
why he is so untruthful his father
is truth itself, and l am sure no one
ever heard me tell lie. Call him in
she added, turning to her little daugh-
ter.
''lIe won't come if he knows Miss
B. is here" said the child.
"Say it is grandma wants him."
suggested the mother, "that will
fetch him."
And yet she wonders at her boys
untruthfulness!
"Have you dog ?" asked tax-col-
lector at another home.
"Not a dog of any, description"
was the prompt reply.
"What about Speck, mamma ?,
asked the little son, appearing in the
doorway with a tiny dog in his arms.
Cost me two dollars" laughed his
father, relating the incident. "Capi-
tai joke on his mother, though"
Rather costly joke, involving the
loss of boys respect for his mothers
veracity, and by reflex influence low
ering his own standard of truth
"You're a half hour late, Willie"
said another mother, "but here's an
excuse; give it to the teacher and she
won't say word"
The child, who couldn't read writing,
confidently delivered the note; it was
an urgent request to have him pun
ished, mean revenge for some trOu-
BILE he had given while being bathed
and dressed.
II mean little lies and petty decep-
tions on the mothers opart are the
childs early object lessons, what won
der that he soon 0utstrips his teach
er, and even shocks her by his prof.
ency In the art.

THE KTCKER'S DEATH,


"a Mason died, SO the story goes,
And went from the earth away,
Far of where the violet and the rose,
And the dashing Johnny -jump-up grows,
And the earth worn worms OF the dust repose.
Till the coming Of Judgment Day.
And the Mason looked on that sleeping
throng
All dressed in their robes Of white.
And did not discover, as he logged along,
Chanting the strains OF u tuneful song
CA single Kicker, good and strong,
In the regions Of endless night
And he asked Of the Angel who led him on,
How is 1t, he said, said he.
That amid the millions OF lost and gone
| do not discover a single one,
Who was vigorous kicker at home,
While waiting to cross the sea?
And the Angel answered, you are quite aware
That oil and water won't mix.
And every brother who kicked down there,
And would not act upon the square.

1t would be inhuman, unkind and
selfish for one section Of our country
to rejoice at the failure OF anothery
but the people should never overlook
the peculiar blessings they ehjoy Id

who live in less favored climes. The

sands turned their eyes southwark for
refuge.
This has been a most peculiar
spring. Sudden changes from heat
to cold have again brought disaster
to the fruit, vegetable and grape
growers Of the Northeast, as we'll az
the Northwest. In the great CHATEAU:
qua grape belt of New York, where
everything was so promising for an
abundant and greatly increased yield
OF the vineyards, the chilling frosts
of middle May came ID a single night
and swept away millions OF dollars
worth Of the promised product Of the
vine. In the States of Michigan;
Ohio, and as far south as Kentucky;
fruit and garden truck TO the value OF
millions were destroyed by jack frost;
aud the people grew poor and despon-
dent.
In the South all nature smiles. The
sun shines brightly, the fields, the
gardens and the grass are green. The
limbs and branches are laden with
fruit; the vines with promises OF
abundant yield: the tables grOan un.

husbandman rejoices in hope, and the

upon us, and we beckon you this way;
that you may escape the scorchine

The newspaper business does not
seem to have changed In one respect
since Horace Greeley sat in the editor
ial chair. The good old man wrote
ut is strange how closely some men
read the newspapers. We never say
anything that q man don't like, but
we hear OF it right away. II, howev'
er, once In while, we say good
thing, we never hear Of that. No
body seems to notice it. We may pay
some man a dozen compliments and
give him a dozen pufis, and he takes
it as a tribute to his greatness and
never thinks it does him any good,
but II we happen to say anything this
man don't like, or something he I'm.
agines Is a reflection on his character,
see how quick he flares up and be.
comes excited over it. All our evils
are charged to us, but never, apparent.

HARDNESS OF THE KIEFFER
PEAR,

Nat Brdewell, Of Copiah county;
communicates the two following notes
to Farm and Home:
The Kieffer pear has proven itself
altogether superior to the lie COnte in
withstanding cold winters In Missis-
sippi. The freezes Of March, 1894;
injured to considerable extent and
killed out entirely great many fine
orchards of LIE Cote pears, while the
Kieffer remained uninjured. My Or
chard Of LIE Contes was injured to q
considerable extent, half and sOme-
times as much as twO-thirds of the
tree being killed, while the Kieffer in
the same orchard remained uninjured
and will bear a full crop this year IL
the blooms are not injured by cold
weather towards the latter part of
March. Although the LIE Conte is
much earlier and by some considered
superior to the Kieffer as an eating
pear, / mucn prefer the Kiefer, not
only Is tia much harder tree than
the LIE Conte, but it is a much better
keeper and in my estimation IL Is all
together superior to the LIE Conte.
THE CREOLE ONION.
The Creole enion, as raised by the
French gardeners of Louisiana, is ur.
doubtedly the onion for the Southern
truck farmer or gardener. The Creole
onion grows to a medium large size
and cannot be surpassed by any varle.
ty In keeping qualities, II gathered
when fully grown and stored In coolj
dry place. The Bermuda is a large,
quick growing onion, but does not
keep we'll In this climate. The Prize:
taker grows to an immense size, but
is very poor keeper. Seed planted Id

onions and do much better than setS

selves from making these fatal mis-
takes? Here is very practical ques-
tlon. The clergy will tell you to "get
religion" But religion is not thing
to be plucked from a tree like peaches.
True, you must have religion, but
where is 1t and what is it.?
A very simple rule will unfold the
grcatsecret. Acquire the habit of self.
communion, and everything else will
follow. Spend thirty minutes every
day in the silence OF your own cham
Der, talking to your soul about the
great concerns of life, and it will not
be long before you have God to keep
you company. Quiet, restful cOntem-
platiOn is more magical than magic
itself. 1t is utterly impossible for
man to think about himself forLalf
an hour without becoming ashamed OF
himself, and shame after a little will
transmute itself into resolution.
Look over purposes and motives
critically and impartially; shut out
the world and unfold yourself to
yourself. Examine your hopes and
fears, coming to Deliberate judg-
meht concerning their value, and you
will find sooner or later that invisible
beings "who walk the earth both when
we wake and when we sleep" are your
welcome companions. There is moth
ing so nearly Omnipotent, so transfg-
uring, nothing that can so quickly
bring you self-cOntrol, cOntentment
and the consciousness of Gods pres
cnce in your life as quiet self-examin-
alton In solitude. You will find it a
Jacobs ladder up which you daily
climb to heaven,

The house mother In planning her
children's diet, will not forget that
rice Is deficient In natural fat; there.
fore, to make II a really useful article
of food, II should be cooked with milk,
butter, or In winter, a bit Of bacon.
Rice should be steamed unless it can
be boiled In milk or stock, for II boiled
In water II loses valuable elements In
