THE HOUSEHOLD.
COURTESY TO CHILDREN.
The Way to Make Them Polite is to
be Polite Towards Them.

All the training and disciplining
in the world, if given in the form
of arbitrary directions and COM
mands, says Harper's Bazaar, will
not make children well bred and
agreeable. Mothers sometimes
think, or act as if they thought,
that courtesy in the home must be
entirely a one sided affair. The
small boy must not interrupt con.
versation, he must step softly, speak
gently, remove his hat on coming
in, spring to restore what some
older person drops, run his little
feet off on errands, always say
thank you, and never indulge him
self in the last expression of irrita-
ton, but nobody is obliged to be
equally polite to him. Ordered
here and ordered there, snubbed as
if he were not as sensitive TO
wounds and so easily hurt as his
elders, his pursuits regarded as Of
no importance, his convenience
overruled or set aside at the caprice
of his tutors and governors, the
little fellow often has very hard
time of it while he is growing up.
Parents who are intensely proud
of their children often refrain, from
a mistaken idea that praise is in
judicious, from commencing them
for what they do well, while blame
is swift to leap out and scorch the
memory on any slight occasion.
The child who will be most courte-
GUS through life is the child who
has been treated with courtesy, who
has spent the formative years of
life i'll sweet and genial atmOs-
phere, and been moulded not so
much by military rules brusquely
enforced as by the genial influence
of serene tempers and the blessed
uess of good examples.
Thackeray remarks somewhere
with rare wisdom. eff parents and
masters would leave their children
alone "a little more small harm
would accrue" and, indeed, the
blessed art of not seeing, Of passing
over many little slips which are
accidental and will soon be out
grown, should be cultivated by all
parents.

This, one of the last verses ever
written by Robert Louis Stevenson,
is in reference to the portrait OF
himself, which is given to the
public with his verse for the first
time in the July Cosmopolitan,
The lines might have come from
the pen Of Burns, and are inimit-
able in their way. The portrait
was declared by Stevenson himself
to be the best ever painted of him.

A choice orange, both peel and
pulp sliced and covered with frag
rant hot tea, makes n beverage of
most excellent flavor, and one that
is preferred by some persons to
lemon and tea. Sour orange juice
and coffee make a flavor in favor
with the Italian taste.
Clothes lines of galvanized iron
are better than those of rope. The
housewife who has set tubs put into
her house should not leave the
height at which they are placed to
the judgement of a workman, who
commonly places them much too
low, so that a STOPPING position and
an aching back are the conse-
quences of using them.
Old wooden stocking legs cut into
squares and covered with pieces of
bright cotton or old silk make good
iron and kettle holders. Sheets
when so worn as to require mending
will hardly stand the wear and
tear of bedding. With any little
rents sewed up they are good 10
hang over nice dresses in the closet
or to put over furniture while
sweeping.
Those who are yet to know the
delights of cooking by gas or elec
tricity will find supply of char
coal a great help in quick cooking.
Broiling of meat is always accom-
plished with bNter results by its
use than by coal fire. 1t is also
economy to add it to a low fire for
broiling, instead of keeping the
CRATE filled to the brim with glow
ing hard coal.
The latest tint in writing paper
is known as robins egg blue. 1t
is an exquisite shade of blue and
quite faint enough to suit the taste
of the most fastidious woman. This
paper is effective when stamped
with a monogram either in bronze
or silver.
Bicycle enthusiasts are using
stationery with a tiny outline of
bicycle up in one corner.
When old white garments are so
much worn that they tear easily it
is waste of time to patch or darn
them. Tear them into long, straight
strips, roll tightly and put away in
the medicine closet. They are
handy in case of accidents requiring
bandages, and should always be
kept ON hand. Much worn woven
underwear may be similarly used.
The elastic quality make such ban
dages the best for sprains.

control and make the dictatorship

control and make the dictatorship
now so common an impossibility.
More menacing even than party
bossism is the condition of longest
ed wealth that now debauches our
Legislators. A sugar trust robbing
the people of countless millions
annually, with an oil trust, and
iron trust and a hundred other
trusts of the same sort, all needing
the special protection of our laws
in order to retain their special priv
ilege of robbing the people, must
enter into a campaign of wholesale
bribery to sustain themselves and
with millions to disburse every
year who can expect an average
legislature or the average of the
partisan press, or the party bosses
who control law making power, to
stand the temptation of an endless
bride. The most important item
for political purity is the abolition
of this power and necessity for
wholesale bribery. The public
ownership of the railroads and
other monopolies and trusts will
put into the hands of the people
that great force of wealth which
now corrupts the sources of infor-
nation in pulpit and press, brides
party managers, organizes caucuses,
dictates conventions and buys leg
islation, making a government of
the people a stencil and shame in
the eyes of Christendom, the laugh
ing stock of Europe and the degra-
dation of America.-Peninsula

ed onthe summit of high hills, these in
terestS and industries naturally gravi-
tated 10 the level Of the road-beds
located on the bottom about the
mouth of the Kaw. The state line
intersecting that bottom left the most
of it on the Kansas side. SO the rail
roads have never run into the town
that first looked down from its pre-
ciptOuS bluffs on the traffic OF q steam
boat landing. Their locomotives have
ran along the river front Of its aban-
doned wharf and pulled their trains
around belt at the back of the cliff
dweller's sleeps, in getting in and out
Of the Kansas. bottoms. Only that
and nothing more. 1t hasn't been the
fault of the founders and builders of
the Missouri town, who have for
century gone on pulling down formi-
dable clay cliffs and filling up the
gaping gorgeS between, nor yet for
lack OF sympathiZing and interested
railway mangements. Even in the
absence of that rock-belted protuber-
ance of the Sni Hills which arrested
the southern trend of the Muddy Mis-
souri, and turned its worthless cur

The place to do business is where |
business is done. The proprietors of |
the wealth, the owners of the vast in |
terests constituting the future great |
city at the mouth of the Kaw, will !
pay their taxes to Kansas. They |
may reside on adjacent Missouri bluffs, |
but their hearts will be down in the |
Kansas bottoms, for there will their

ity to the gold barons, with this diff
ference: they seek individual gains
through universal prosperity. while
the latter would enrich themselves by
holding others down. The masses are
really quite competent to estimate
their so-called financial acumen at its
real worth. We have seen quite
enough OF it to know that, however
certainly the operation of their plans
and projects lead to certain results,
they never fail to scoop money into
their own Golfers. Since the aggregate
wealth of the world is, within itself.
q given quantity, no portion of which
can be owned by two persons at the
same time, and since the accumulation
of the colIossall fortunes of a few
must correspondingly deplete the earn
ingS and savings of the many, that
very large increment of society, known
as the people, will take unto themselves
all the responsibility of shaping finan-
cial legislation in their own interest.
The Oily-tongued statesman, who doleS
out their philippines at SO much per
diem, had just as well throw up his
job. The president and his cabinet Of
ticerS may swing around the circle and
punch UP the faithful, but if it figures
as anything more than sounding brass
at the next national election, then all
present signs will fail.

centuries the microbe went proving

but he assigns to these unearthIy mi
crobes the blame for The peculiar
epidemic called cercbro-sDinal meuin-
gifts which prevailed between the
years 1866 and 1861. and goes so far
as to assert that his theory throws

those of typhoid, diphtheria and ia

which seems to be the thorn in the side
OF our Jealous opponents. we will part
with the following little allegory on
terms favorable 10 sill
II is said that when Hercules, the fore
most innovator OF medern methods
among the ancients, was warning
against anG-diluvian difficulties he
came on day upon a strange but not
over-fornidable looking monster that
raised its head and sat up on its
launches TO grow!, like a Populist
Old erky promptly drew his club, jowIed
him pleasantly about the sconce for
bit and then let loose couple OF bright
ONES, expecting 10 stretch him dead.
To his CONSERVATION the beast was in
stantly twice its original size, of more
dreadful aspect, and getting more leery
every moment. In growing dismay re
recoubled his efforts and rained down
upon him in good sooth and earnest,
but the beast only grew and fioursshed
the more, like a new variety of magis
fungas, until il completely blocked the
wey. Just then Pollas appeared upon
the scene and drew ersules to one side.
That beast" she said, lis strife or
co7nmotion, let the good work cease and
it will presently resume its normal
size and proclivities.
So ne ceased, and in a little while
passed by, pausing only long enough
in response to the growing to make the
first authentic thumb and nose sign.
Inc fable seems 20 presase also that
there Will always exist acertain amount
of political detritus, as an irresolvabIe
quantity.
Tracing back II seems that the origin
al point of detection into the unreal
with the silverites begins with the as
sumption that gold regulates values.
This it cannot do, although ii and its
immediate and natural determinations
are the best means of measuring and
representing prices and dScharging
balances of trade. The price of thing
is what the owner asks for II, but it's
value is relative and governed by the
benefit 10 be derived from il, the labor
that enters into its production, the
supply and the demand. Corn cannot
give the value of silver or gold, nor
these of corn, for the value OF each L.
relative, and the busheI of corn Will
feed no more stock, or have more in
trinSic value whether it cost a dime or
a dollar. L. d. GILBERT.
