A FAMOUS MANS MOTHER.
Thomas Wentworth Higginson's Beautiful
Tribute to His Mother.

trace to my mother direct influence
three leading motives of her youngest
sons life-the love of personal liberty,
of religious freedom and of the equality
Of the sexes-writes Thomas Wentworth
Higginson in The Ladies' Home Jour
nal AS to the more subtle and intimate
influences, they ordinarily came by con-
tact, not by preaching. She always
maintained that the younger children Of
a large family had much better chance
for development than the elder because
they had more freedom to develop them
selves. With her elder children, she al
ways said, verconscientiousness almost
bore her to the earth. She felt person
ally responsible for every childish fault.
She had been reared in the school of
Locke, which regarded the human soul
as blank paper, on which parents and
teachers did all the writing But her
children were of strong and varied indi-
viduality, and she learned in time to
study the temperament Of each and be
patient with its unfolding. Her whole
formula Of training consisted in these
three things: To retain the entire conf
dence Of the child, to do whatever seem
ed wisest and to be patient. Her trust
in Providence was absolute and control
ling, as was her sense of the personality
of the Deity.
Most valuable Of all her traits to her
children next to her quality Of sunshine
was probably her absolute rectitude, the
elevation of her whole tone, the com
plete unworldliness, so that no child OF
hers ever heard her refer to any stand.

combined the conscientious accuracy in
affairs, the exquisite nicely in all house

4 Harmless Monster That Feeds Under
Water ON Grasses.

WotcT on OEosecss
The manatee belongs to a mammalian
order called sirenia, or seacows, which
contains only three species-our mana
tee, that of west Africa and the dugong
of Australia. AS its clumsy form sug-
gests, it is an animal of quiet and even
sluggish habits, entirely harmless and
easily taken when once its haunts are
known. When at home, its food consists
of tender aquatic plants and grasses, ell
ways eaten under water, and its presence
Is generally revealed by the bits Of bro
ken stems and grass which escape and
float TO the surface above where il is
feeding.
In captivity it feeds on cabbage, let
tuce, the leaves of the Gamma, celery
tops, watercress, spinach, and also GER
tain kinds Of ocean seaweed. In the st.
Lucie river its favorite food is luxuri-
ant, trailing aquatic grass, called man
atee grass, in which the manatee finds
not only good food, but good hiding
places from its human enemies.
The bones of this animal are massive,
solid and quite heavy (some hunters
will tell you its bones are "solid ivory },
and its skin is as thick and tough as
that Of hippopotamus. have seen
very good canes made Of strips of man
atee skin, twisted like lightning rod
and dried. Its flesh is very good, and,
to me, it tastes quite like lean pork.
Curiously enough, this strange creature
actually sheds its outer skin every year,
as does a serpent The living specimens
that from time to time have been cap
tured and kept for exhibition in Deme-
rara, Philadelphia, New York and Lon
don have in all cases been of small or
medium size, varying in length from
to feet. The one which was shown in
the Central park menagerie in 1878 was
feet y inches in length and weighed
$50 pounds. w. T. Hornaday in ST.
