CHILDREN'S FANCIES.
They Should Go Treated with Psrcr
LndnIgcncc.

They Should Eo Treated with Perennial
Indulgence.
Allowances should always be made
for the queer little fancies that take
possession of children at various stages
OF their growth. 1t is unquestionably
annoying to the mother or nurse to find
that what was yesterday accepted as
matter of course is to-day rejected with
high disdain, but such instances are
continually occurring, and must be met
philosophically. An illustration of this
point may be gathered from the record
ui peculiarly docile and lovable child,
who, having been accustomed from
babyhood to be put to bed awake with
out resenting it by SO much as whim-
per, suddenly rebelled in the most un-
expected way when over two years old,
insisting in the most forcible manner
upon having some one to sit by her.
Coaxing and punishment were alike i'm
effectual, and when. after several nights
of the same interesting performance.
the child succeeded in fretting herself
into severe nervous fever. the mother
was fain to confess herself conquered.

FRIENDLY SOLUTION
The Venezuelan Trouble Probably
Nearing the End.
TALK OF A JOINT COMMISSION
Certain Movements Among British Of
ficials Strengthen the Belief That
Negotiations to That End
Are Now Under Way.

Washington, Feb. 19.-That negotia-
tions are under way for the appoint
ment of a Joint British and American
commission to settle the Venezuelan
boundary dispute is now the general
belief in public circles here, but among
officials who know just what is going
on in the matter nothing, of course,
can be CLEANED. Ambassador Bayard's s
audience with Lord Salisbury at the
foreign office in London the other even
ing is thought possibly to have been
connected with the matter in dis
pute, and the action of the government
leaders in the house of commons in
appealing SO urgently to have the
Atherley-JOnes motion withdrawn and
discussion of the whole matter dropped,
intimating at the time that an adverse
vote might upset negotiations now
under way. clearly indicates that some
thing looking to settlement of the
dispute is being advanced. That the
British government is anxious to get
out of the difficulty without disrupting
the feeling of friendship in the United
States and at the same time avoiding
humiliation on her own part is now
generally accepted. A joint commits
sion would undoubtedly be satisfactory
to this country, as it would mean al
most an arbitration board.
Board of Cancellation.
London, Feb. 19.-The Daily News
to-day says that the negotiations now
in progress between the United States
and Great Britain will result, accord
ing to the expectation of the best in
formed circles, in satisfactory settle
ment of the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute. The paper gives the lines on
which the neg citations are proceeding.
They are virtually identical with
the suggestions made by G. w.
Smalley, the American correspondent
of the Times, for the appointment of a
joint commission. The News adds that
the commission will serve rather as a
board of Cancellation than as an arbi-
tration board. 1t is understood that
before agreeing to the scheme which as
a last resort would involve arbitration,
LoGd Salisbury would require an
agreement regarding the settled dis
trictS.
Not Yet in Definite Shape.
London, Feb. 19.-The Central News
says that the appointment of joint
British and American commission to
settle the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute was suggested automatically a
week ago. The matter has not yet as
sumed definite shape.

vIvIsECTION IN SCHOOLS.
Joint Hearing on the Bill in New York
Legislature Against the Practice.

Albany, Feb. 19.-The senate and as
sembly committees on public education
gave joint hearing last evening on a
bill making vivisection and the exhibi-
tion of vivisected animals in the public
schools criminal offense. Theodore
Whitaker of Saugerties spoke for the
bill. Vivisection in the public schools
perverted the morals of the young.
'Jack the Ripper" is an example of the
modern vivisectionist. Assemblyman
Sanger said the committee ought to be
shown that vivisection had been prac-
ticed in the presence of public school
pupils before legislation was asked.
Rev. DIR. George E. Hite of Albany said
cases were known to have occurred in
high schools and he promised that evi-
dence of exhibitions of vivisection
would be presented to the committee.
Rev. DIR. Battershall of Albany spoke
for the bill. He protested against de-
grading the minds of children by un-
necessary experiments for the sake of
superficial education which created
morbid sensibilities.
