Things Children should BE Taught.

Tho raising of children has become a
scientific question. Froebel, in his kin
dergartcn methods, showed how utterly
we were at fault in some of our most gen
orally accepted theories of education
While the proper schooling of children is
important in molding them intellectually
the training they receive in the home il
ever moro important in molding their
characters. The New York World gives
the following points that children should
be taught:
That teasing is positive crime.
That they must eat bread before cake.
That bedtime is not movable hour.
That they must speak respectfully to
the servants
That bawling over bruises is unworthy
sturdy beings.
That they should not appeal from the
decision of one parent to the other
That punishment follows in the wake
of prevarication and Of hiding more swift
ly than it follows active mischief
That it is in bad taste for them to toll
all that they learn Of the neighbors' do
nestle arrangements through playing
with the neighbors' children.

quently found it necessary to wipe them
Plebeians might indeed be content to lick
them clean. But the Roman patrician and
the medieval lord never grudged the cost
Of table linen. Tho Augustan leaders of
fashion were fanciful about their hand
towels, which not infrequently excited the
cupidlty of kleptomaniac guests.
The English, from the Anglo Saxon Pc
Rod to that of the Stuarts, used table linen
lavishly and made much parade of wash
ing before and after meat. After every
meal and sometimes after every course a
ever of water, a basin and n napkin were
set before each guest. But the introduce
ton of the fork did away with the neces-
sity for so much nice particularly. Ben
Jonson had foreseen this when he made
his Mercraft speak of

Brought into custom here as they are in Italy
To the sparing of napkins.
Forks, indeed, had not been long in use
ere napkins began to disappear from the
tables of economical housekeepers. Gen
orally discarded from fashionable tables at
tho close of the eighteenth century, the
napkin was seldom used or seen by the
more modish epicures of Horace Walpole' $
era In George HIS time the dessert dolly
was regarded as an elegant and all suf-
ficient substitute. But with the later
growth of luxury and refinement the nap
kin has been reinstated as a necessary re-
quircment of comfortable eating says the

Continuing Mrs Binkerbec said that it
sometimes seemed to her as if the poorest
husbands secured the best wives. Per
haps, though, it was due to the fact that
unhappy martial relations, and cheerless
environments, served oftentimes to bring
out the latent heroism in women, and
enabled them to rise superior to the con
ditions surrounding them.
Mrs. Worklate suggested that it might,
also, be due To the fact that women, Ms a
general rule, were better than men, She
confessed that she knew Of number of
women with good husbands VINO hadn't
brains enough to appreciate them, and she
had often wished that such women could
suffer some Of the miseries endured by the

BUNDEsRArH AND REIcHsTAG.

The general reader, who scans the
dispatches from Berlin giving account
of the proceedings in parliament, doubt
less gets his ideas mixed up among
the various terms used to distinguish
the several bodies; and between the
landtag, the reichstag and the bun
desrath, he is in state of confusion
similar to the fog that enshrouds
him when he tries to locate the numer-
Gus centers, rights and lefts, with their
subsidiary attachments,vof the French
chambers. A recent work by Mr. A. L.
Lowell, on Governments and Parlia-
mentary Parties in Europe" sheds light
upon a topic little known or understood
in this country, and one of sufficient
general interest to warrant brief con-
densation Of the portion descriptive Of
the German government. When the
Franco Prussian war gave TO Bismarck
the opportunity for the realization of
his long cherished ambition for the uni
f1cation of Germany, the problem pre-
scented was a difficult one and the solu-
ton one that had to be worked out
among the .jealousies of petty king
doms and principalities, 10th to. sur
render privileges which they valued
higher than naturalization.
The outcome is form of government
adapted to their conditions, but one so
different from our own or any. other
as to excite our surprise that it works
as well as it does. The popular house
is the reichstag, answering somewhat
to our house of representatives. but
sessing, really, but little. It is COM
posed of members gapportioned among
the various states on their population
at the. time of the union, but, without
our provision for changes to meet in
crease or loss of population.
OF the 397 members Prussia
has 235, or about three-fifths
of the whole. Its powers are am
| pie, on paper. IT'S assent to laws, the
budget, loans and treaties requiring
legislation must be had, but, as most
of the appropriations are permanent
and the bundesrath must assent to
change, the hold of the popular house
on the purse strings Is not strong It's
| chief function is to criticise, amend
or reject the bills proposed by the lat
| ter body, while, if it become obstrep-
erous, it can be dissolved by the bun
desrath with the emperor's consent
The bundesrath is, therefore, the in
f1uential body in the empire 1t Is
somewhat like our senate, but with
wide margins of difference. 1t, like
that, represents the states, but not, as
with us, equally. It's members are APP
pointed by the princes of the several
states and the senates of the free
cities. The representation is about
the same as it was in the old diet of
the Confederation, Prussia having sew
enteen of the fifty-eight members but
controlling three others. The members
have the privileges of ambassadors,

Will you kindly answer the following ques-

/. Will not the recognition of Cuban In

q Does the constitution give the president
right to cause war when it denies him the
right to declare war?

1. Whether or not the recognition of
Cuban independence by our government
would be a cause for war with Spain
would depend entirely upon what Spain
chose to do about it. 1t would not be
such an overt act as to call for hostH-
ity. If Spain chose to declare war
against US for that reason or for any
other, or for none, she could Go as she
pleased. According to the usages that
prevail among nations, the recogni-
