ITS about that boy Robbie of mine.
I'm afraid he's incorrigible. though
he's kind-hearted and seems over
whelmed with remorse when he has
done anything wrong"
There is always hope for a boy Of
that disposition, Brother Lobby"
Il hope so, but I'm pretty well dis
couraged. Last week l went I'D to the
island with Mrs. Lobby and left him at
home with his little brother. They
put in part of the time playing blind
mans buff and Willie ran into a stand
hurting one of his teeth. Robbie at
once made an examination and told
Willie that If the tooth was not pulled
lockjaw would set in. Robbie got an
old pair of pinchers and after a great
struggle extracted the tooth a fine
front one. His only excuse was that
he proposes to be dentist some day?"
Did you punish him, Mr.. Lobly?"
Severely. One evening he came
home from school and had his report.
Everything was good but his deport-
ment, and / asked him what was the
matter with that? He replied that he
had a habit of putting his foot on the
railing when in class and that the
teacher always gave him a mark for
that. / saw her and found it was true.
but the young rascal had told her that
1t was hereditary and that IL was the
way his father always stood in front
OF bar. Think of that and I never
go near saloon. Again"
mo use Of further details, Brother
Lobby. l know your son better already
than you do. l was just such a boy.
You must get his energies turned in
the right direction and then bring him
up for the ministry. He will make a
mighty worker in the vineyard"
We'll, parson, II that is the kind OF
material they make preachers of it's a
puzzle to me why there are not more
men in the pulpit than in the body of
the church"

NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERIES.
England's "Acqui-itive Instinct" and
Jealous Grin Early .yhibI,ed

Engiand's "Acqui-itive Instinct" aud
Jealous Grip Early Exhibited.
1t has always been common notion
that for the first half of the sixteenth
century the French, Spanish and Portu-
guese had the Newfoundland fisheries
themselves, says Macmillan's Magazine.
Judge Prowse disposes summarily of
this idea and brings forward ample
proof not only that the English fishing
fleet was there in great strength, but
that for the whole century and most
certainly from the accession of Eliza
beth. il ruled this heterogeneous
floating colony in most masterful
fashion. Spain was computed to have
5000 sailors on the banks at this
period; Portugal was not very far be-
hind her, while France was probably
more strongly represented than either.
Though no question was made Of the
right of all these nations to an equal
share in the trade, the supremacy OF
the British seamen, chiefly from De-
vonshire, half fisherman half pirates.
seems never to have been disputed, or
never, at any rate, successfully disputed.
The soil Of Newfoundland, OF Terra
Nuova, ii Is true, was then of no mo-
ment It's value was merely that OF a
refuge in stress Of weather and place
upon which to dry and pack the
spoils of the deep. But upon this
seemingly barren foot-hold the Eng
fish adventures, with that acquisitive
instinct which foreign nations and our
selves are just now calling by such
different names. kept from the first a
firm and jealous grip. while in the
floating and, upon the whole, peaceful
republic, which spent half of every
year between the desert shores Of Lab
rador and the grim headland Of Cape
Ray. our countrymen seem to have Sc
cured for themselves undisputed sway.

now not generally believed that the
mingling of the acute and chronic in
sane benefits either class. 1t Is not
generally believed that locking up a
man vho has been insane for short
time only with one who has been In
sane a long time has any remedial in
fluence upon either one. The Wiscon-
sin idea Is to abandon these mammoth
institutions and to keep the chronic
insane, The majority of whom are in
durable, away from the more recent
cases.
There are in Wisconsin twenty-five
county asylums for the chronic insane,
which are scattered throughout the
state, and two state institutions for the
treatment of the recent cases of in
sanity. One of these institutions, the
Northern Hospital for the Insane, is
located near this city. At this institu-
ton a number of notifications of for
mer methods of treatment have recent
ly been introduced, and vigorous eff
fort is being made to make this institu-
ton a genuine hospital, leaving out all
asylum features, true hospital being
d curative institution and an asylum
merely house of refuge.

superintendent. Among many other
improvements made during the last
year has been the introduction Of a

instead of In the wards. as In former
DAYS. Two Turkish bathrooms. one for
the men, and one for the women, have
also been put into the institution. Pa
tients are no longer washed in the old
fashioned tub baths. but are given
scrub and shower baths and are rem
dered fresh and clearly by being placed
upon a table and scrubbed after the
manner adopted by all Turkish baths.
The diet of the patients has been
materially changed from former times.
Strong tea and coffee are no longer
given, but in their place large quanti-
ties of milk are used. Patients are ac-
corded a greater variety OF vegetable
diet and not so much meat as formerly.
Every week there Is picnic, where
good music Is furnished, and dancing Is
INDUCED in. Refreshments are served
after. The popular magazines of the
dav are much more literally supplied
than heretofore. Bus rides are used TO
n large extent, and are supposed TO
have a helpful influence. The disposal
of the sewage has been materially al
tered. Considerable attention has been
given to promoting the comfort OF the
employes. A separate dining-room has
been fitted for them, also reception
room for their especial benefit. lnunc-
lions OF oil and massage treatment
have been introduced and form prom
inent feature in the treatment or the
insane. A very humane feature Is the
leaving of the doors OF the patients un-
locked AT night, and the night force mas
been increased. so that the ancient
method of locking patient In his room
for the night no longer obtains. In the
old DAYS the attendants shaved the pa
fonts in the wards. A barber shop mas
been opened up In the basement wnere
skillful tonsorial artists attend 10 'he
wants OF the household.
A most recent departure is the intro
auction of a hospital school. where
arithmetic, geography. writing, speihhs
and limited States history are taught

The glorious results Of this seasons
harvest OF golden grain will pour a
stream OF sound money into the pock-
cts OF every Dakota farmer.
South Dakota has thousands OF acres
of choice farming and ranch land lying
east Of the Missouri river, and within
one days ride from Chicago or Milwau-
kee which can now be bought reason
ably cheap, but which before the end
of another year may be advanced in
price.
The stock raising industry in South
Dakota is profitable, and eastern capi-
tai is now being invested in cattle and
sheep growing in that state.
Diversified farming, the growing OF
live stock, and the products of the
dairy, are placing South Dakota fore
most in the ranks OF the successful
western states.
Those desiring full information on
the subject, and particularly those who
wish to seek a new home or purchase
land, are requested to correspond with

Woman a. a Police Omcsr.

The new woman has advanced a step.
Mayor Doran of st. Paul, Mimi, has
appointed Mrs. S. V. Root, who Is
prominent in society, as a special po-
lice officer, possessing full power to
make arrests. Mrs. Root will not pa
troll beat, nor will she look after the
property of any person, yet she will
wear a star. She desired the appoint
ment TO aid her work in connection
with the rescue home and institution
for the reformation of fallen women,
with which she has long been connect
ed. She thinks that as soon as it is
generally known that she has police
authority she will be treated with more
consideration by people with whom she
comes in contact.

EFFECTS OF TIPPING.
4 Practice which IL Un-Amsrican and
Has Had UeuuIt.

Has H,d Results.
The BARRIERS International Union NJ
America has taken on the true Ameri-
can spirit, which is the spirit OF nor
sonal freedom and dignity-the spirit
OF working for wages instead of fawn-
ing for favors, says Gunton's Magazine
The BARRIERS of New York city appear
to be opposed TO Mr.. Van Fleet. They
evidently think that, being an addition
to their wages, these tips are so much
net gain to them, and hence to refuue
tips would be permanently to lessen
their income This, of course. Is the
view entertained by all who consent 10
work under the tipping practice. But
IL is mistaken notion. There Is no
class whose general income is increased
by tips. The income is made precari-
GUS and huctuating, depending upon
the whims of customers and degree OF
servillty of the laborer. But its perma-
nent effect is not to enlarge the income
but rather to lessen the man. Tipping
as practice. is Extensively un-Amer-
lean and positively uneconomic. II ia
un-American not merely because Il did
not arise In America, but because IL Is
contrary to the whole spirit and genius
OF American life and institutions. II
Is system OF paying for services partly
In charity, which is always Injurious
both to those who give and to those
who receive; II Injuries those who give
In tending to create the austere senti-
ment that they are giving something
for nothing, for which the recipient is
under personal obligations; it is de-
grading to the recipient because it Is
voluntary gift for which he can put
In no economic claim, and consequently
must pay for in personal gratitude or
obligation, which always means the
surrender of personality; 1t is especially
offensive in this country because II
rests on no recognized principle OF
equity or payment of equivalents. Tins
are uneconomic because they make the
laborers' income precarious and acct
dental without making il larger or
bringing any other corresponding ben
efits. The truth is, and It is gradually
coming to be recognized, that the labor
ers gain absolutely nothing by tins;
what they gain in tips they lose in
wages. All the menialsm exercised to
obtain tips and the Inconvenience re-
sulting from the uncertainty and UNI
evenness of the amount of income is
so much disadvantage due to the tip
ping system for which the laborers re.
9eive no equivalent.

Novel window Screen.

A beautiful novelty for a window
screen is made Of silk boiling cloth.
This is intended to hang close to the
window. and upon its transparent CUR
face may be painted a broad effect in
water colors, embodying border of
conventional design. using alternately
salmon pink, blue, India red, tawny
or foxy brown and gray outlining in
long stitches of silk in appropriate
colors. Inside of this border may be
worked design in water lilies, with
foliage painted and worked in silks,
the water suggested by broad touches Of
gray blue, with an occasional CLEAN
of silver thread. These are but sugges-
tions of what may be done with this
species Of screens, as there are many
elegant materials and combinations OF
color, but all depend for their beauty
on the artistic make up and the rare
qualities of their embroidery.

THE CHURCH MILITANT.

The next national Christian Endeav-

Tenn.
An immense audience gathered to
hear Bishop Fowler's farewell sermon
at Hennepin Avenue NJ. II. Church,
Minneapolis, recently.
The Archbishop of London estimates
the contributions of churchmen to re-
ligious objects during the last twenty
five years as 100000 900.

The Fifth Baptist church, Washing
ton, ID. c., which recently celebrated its
fortieth anniversary, has never had
but one pastor, Rev. DIR. G. c. Meador,
and he has never had any other church.
One OF the notable features OF the
convention OF the Il. Y. p. u, held at
Milwaukee, was the review OF the Bap-
fist missions of the world, with brief
address outlining the work done and
the progress made.
DIR. Arthur T. Pierson Is no longer
Presbyterian. The Presbytery OF Phila-
delphia heard him, at its last meeting,
in his defense. He was recently I'M
mersed by Baptist minister. and has
repudiated the scriptural doctrine OF
infant baptism. His position as to bap-
tism led the Presbytery to erase his
name from the roll. although a paper
was adopted expressing confidence In
his Christian character and his general
doctrinal soundness except as to bap-
tsm.

nary method OF caring for the insane
consists in building large establish
ments which contain from 500 to $500
inmates. 1t is very common in many
states to have asylums that hold 1,2OO
and 1000 patients. In these great asy-
lums the acute and chronic are mingled
TO greater or less extent. It often
happens that there are patients in these
asylums who have been inmates for
twenty years. 1t was formerly sup
posed that the mingling of the acute

Paper Telegraph Poles.

Paper telegraph poles are the latest
development of the art of making paper
useful. These poles are made of paper
pulp. in which borax, tallow, etc., are
mixed in small quantities. The pulp
is cast in a mold, with core in the
center forming hollow rod of the de-
sired length, the cross pieces being held
by key-shaped wooden pieces driven in
on either side OF the pole. The paper
poles are said to be lighter and strong
err than those of wood, and to be un-
affected by sun, rain, dampness or any
OF the other causes which shorten the
life of a wooden pole.
