Telling Untruths.

A Chicago kindergarten teacher says
that mothers come to her so often asking
how they shall break their children from
telling untruths that she has almost come
to think 1t lying is national evil She
divides cnlldren's falsehoods into four
classes The first is the lie of excessive
imagination, and the treatment is incul
cation of eXactness of observation, either
by precept or in play The second is the
lie Of egutism, the remedy for which Is
objective work that will take thought
from self. A third class of lies is evolved
through fear of punishment, and sym
pathy is the cure, In all such cases, :"
the kindergartnerin adds, the child must
be shown the justice of his punishment. !"
The fourth division includes children adj
dicted To the jealous lie, as saying that
they have things which they have not, be-
cause the boy around the corner has them
The cure in this instance is love and APP
probation, that the child may understand
that he does not need these coveted pos
sessions to gain or keep his friends All
mothers will he interested in this matter
as few are not called upon to meet these
childish prevGrcators.

The Debt Maker.

Under the pretense of maint aiming
the gold reserve" Mr.. Cleveland's ad
ministration has illegally borrowed
about $116,000,00 up to the present
time. A large part of it has gone, or is
going, to pay the current expenses of
the government. Another illegal issue
of bonds is imminent, the pretext being
that the gold reserve has gone down
again about to the point to which it
had sunk just before the first illegal
loan in February, 1894, and likewise
just before the second illegal loan,
In November last. The practice of
the administration has been to issue
bonds for $50, 100000 at time; and &C.
riding to the yield of the previous
bond sales, the third illegal issue of
$780, 900 would bring the total up to
about STA 200, 900, borrowed mainly
to pay the current expenses of the
government of the United States. Bills
are pending in congress to enable the
secretary of the treasury legally to bor-
row more money with which to pay
current expenses, up to $500, 900 900, at
the discretion of Mr.. Cleveland and his
financial advisers.
The entire Understanding debt of
the United States in 1898, when Mr..
Cleveland's administration came in =,
was S5S5,000,O00 Since 1879, when
the total debt amounted to 81 ,797 ,000,-
900, it has been ,eadily decreased, year
after year, without single break in
the way of temporary increase. Be-
tween 1879 and 1892 two. thirds of the
interest bearing obligations of the
United States had been redeemed and
cancelled. In one year Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration has already in
creased the interest bearing public de BIT
by 800 900 900, or more than seventeen
per cent; and 1t wants authority from
congress to increase the debt by $780,
100000 more, which would more than
double the public debt as the Cleve-
land administration found ii.
In time of peace, with no extraor
binary demands pressing upon the
treasury, this self-proclaimed reformer
of the national finances, elected to Office
to give the country tariff for revenue,
revenue from tariff, has given to
the country instead of that an additional
burden of DEBT and promise of debt
mounting in the aggregate TO the
figures OF a great wars cost.
Bond sales for revenuel That is the
policy OF Grover Cleveland and his sole
achievement. Such is the record of the
mouther of promises and the shfty
borrower of cash wherewith to cover
the failure of performance; the shame
less breaker of pledges and the auda-
cious maker OF debt.-N. Y. Sun, Dem.

President Eliot on College Sports.

In his report upon Harvard Univer-
sity for the academic year 1S93-94,
President Eliot, in speaking of athletic
sports, is very severe on foot ball.
"The evils of intercollegiate sports"
he says, continue without real redress
or diminution. In particular, the game
of football grows worse and worse as
regards foul and violent play and the
number and gravity of the injuries
which the players suffer. 1t has be-
come perfectly clear that the game as
now played is unfit for college use"
He condemns the game from every
point.of view, and his language is very
pllin. In his judgment, the players
have little response oility for the evils o f
the game. "They are swayed," be
says, "by a tyrannical public opinion
partly.ignorant and partly barbarous-
to the formation of which graduates
and undergraduates fathers, mothers
and sisters, aeaders of society and the
veries, gamblers and rowdies, all con-
tribute"
The recent games at Springfield, New
York and Philadelphia suggest to the
presidents mind the query how far
these. assem- lages differ at heart from
the.throngstwhich enjoy the prize fight,
cock fight or bull fight, or which in
other.centuries delighted in the sports
of the Roman arena" Here and all
along the line of his discussion this col
lege president is in close touch with the
press and with popular criticism. To the
sugge stion of the defenders of the game
thatlby employing more men to watch
the players it's viciousness could be
stopped, IL President Eliot makes the
sufficient answer that "a game which
needs,to be so watched is not fit for gen.
uine sportsmen." On the other hand,
he says. much wholesome physical ex-
ercise is.taken and much genuine ath-
letic sport enjoyed in the University.
" The athletic sports and exercises
which commend themselves to sensible
teachers and parents" the president
believes, -" are those which can be used
moderately and steadily, and which re-
main available in some measure in ma
turellife."
President Eliot speaks with COM
mendable vigor, truth and independ-
ence. III His ideas of what is wholesome
in exercise and in athletic sports, which
are available for all the students, and
beneficial now and hereafter, are chai-
acterized by great good sense. Similar
independence and courageous out
speaking on the part of the heads of
other schools, sustained by judicious
action by the school administrative
powers, will reform school sports
in the city university or the country
academy or seminary, and will place
school athletics on a legitimate basis.
If such action leads to the prohibition
of base ball and football contests be-
tween schools of any grade, it will
knock out the cornerstone of the evils
against which President Eliot inveighs
and which the press of the country had
strongly condemned.

Hard Substances i'm the No e.

1t is quite common for children to get
beans and other hard substances up the
nose, and about the first thing one does on
discovering them is to poke them farther
up in frantic efforts to get them out. A
remedy that acts like a charm at times is
to force the child's mouth open and GOV
ering its mouth with your own to blow
very hard The force will often expel the
substance without other trouble. About
the safest thing to do is to take the child
Immediately to the doctor. Washington

The Land of Dreams.

Abide not in the land OF dreams,
o man, however fair 1t seems,
Where drowsy airs thy powers repress
In languor of sweet idleness.
Nor llnger in the misty past,
Entranced in visions vague and vast
But with clear eye the present scan,
And hear the call of God to man.
That call, though many voiced is one,
with mighty meanings in each tone;
Through sob and laughter, shrek and prayer
Its summons meets thee everywhere.
Think not In sleep to fold thy hands,
Forgetfu OF thy Lords commands;
From duty's claims no life is free
Behold, to-day hath need Of thee.
The present hour allots thy task
For present strength and patience ask,
And trust his love whose sure supplies
Meet all thy needs as they arise.
While the day fingers do thy best
Full soon the night will bring its rest;
And, duty done, that rest shall be
Full of beatitudes to thee.

Sleeping Room Curtains.

Four sets of curtains are sometimes used
in sleeping rooms, being put up as fol
lows: Next the window hang thin curtains
of muslin or lace shirred over a rod and
hanging straight or draped back at each
side. These curtains reach only to the
window sash Next come the window
shades, the dark green nearest the win
dow, the light toward the room, and then
the inside curtains Of silk or chintz.
These are oftenest shirred over red at
the top, though they are sometimes hung
by rings from poles. -Furnisher.

Soft folded they await the will
That soon shall bid them lie more still.

Pure hands that slip from our caress

 Matters looked squally for q time. It looked as hough the great mill would fall through. After several propositions were made looking to selecting a referee in such way that his name could be kept secret until the day of the fight.
