cessfully offered. There is danger of
forgetting that home is the natural
school for rich Or poor; and for the
older child to be tending the very dirti-
est possible baby may be more really
elevating pursuit than to be enjoying
clean playthings or moral story books
in the daintiest possible room After
all, the schools and the benevolent socie-
ties cannot precisely replace the work
we may sometimes see unconsciously
done, even in city Sums, by loving
though slipshod mothers and by good
natured but occasionally drunken faith
ers. 1t is needful sometimes to break
these natural ties, for the good of the
child; but the interference is at best Il
necessary evil. To help mother" at
home. to make the best of small means,
to grow up tolerably decent and brave
amidst the common lot. these are very
important part of education I Go not

and she will not be likely then 70 write
silly and foolish letters, which she would
gladly recall later in life. She should
also learn that she should not affix her
name to any list of individuals, any So
ciety, or any document without knowing
fully what responsibility she is assilm-
ing. The matter may seem trivial, but she
may sometime have reason to be glad
that she has formed the habit of giving
careful thought in all matters where her
name is asked. not trusting even to her
dearest friend against her own jGdg-
ment.
Still another good business education
for the children should receive attention
from the parents. 1t would be good
plan if every child old enough to read and
write was taught to keep a bank ac--
count, giving his father his little hoard
to keep, and opening a regular account
with him. The child should have his
small bank book, in which his father
might. enter all moneys that he receives
from time to time like an ordinary bank
book. When the child needs money he
should be taught to draw regular
check on his father (who represents his
bank, and when his book is balanced
he should receive his vouchers in due
form. If in connection with this he is
encouraged to keep an account book OF
private expenditures, he will soon ac-
quire practical knowledge of how to take
care of money, and of the value of it;
and will learn business-like habits that
will stand him in good stead in after life.
And the girls who receive the same
training will all their lives have occa-
sion to bless the thoughtfulness of the
parents who have made so simple and
easy the business methods which often
prove so perpleXing to those whose train
ing in this respect has been neglected.

Adieu the Home Life.

Is there not food for thought-careful,
approaching thought-in this little story,
which is given bodily without comment?
A large, railway operator in Pittsburg,
who takes keen interest in social Ques-
tons, has in his employ many engineers
and clerks whose annual salaries range
below $1,000. Eight of these men mar
ried American girls within the last two
years. and in every case the young wife
insisted upon boarding, and refused to
keep house: The employer anxious to
discover whether this singular indiffer-
ence to home life was general, stated the
case to the president of working
,women's guild in Philadelphia number
ing over 1000 members, asking for the
opinion of the members of the guild
on the subject.
The girls belonging to this guild all
earn their own living, as typewriters,
shopwomen. dressmakers. sewing girls,
by hard and often ill-paid work. They
are a class of girls whom one would
naturally expect to look forward eagerly
to the happiness of a little home all their
own. Very few of them. however. were
in favor of it. The others preferred the
boarding-house. One very reluctantly
was willing to try to learn the new and
difficult trade of housekeeping: The
second, saleswoman, described the gay
intercourse of crowded shop, and the
''prison-like monotony' Of house in
which there were only a husband, wife
and children. A third declared the soil
tude of home only fit for a woman
to die away in"
To others the home life was deadly
dulmess." "cheerless drudgery" Or "the
unrnixed society OF dust and dishpans,
brooms and sewing basket, and all the
horrid rest of it." They invariably COM
pared the gay Bustle OF ii store, or the
chance afforded to typewriters, women
reporters, or other workingwomen to
"see something of the world" to the Sin
tolerable routine" of the life of house
keeper Not one of the directors seemed
TO prceive behind the drudgery of a wife
and mother the love and aim which make
it divine. Thirty years ago a struggle
was properly made to open new careers

this work has blinded them to the high
est purpose of woman's life?-Good

Made His Prisoners Comfortable.

A series of extraordinary charges have
lately been brought against German
jailer of the name of Bader by the pub
lie prosecutor in the reichsgericht, at
Leipsic. Bader was. it seems, the chief
warden in the Marienwerder prison. and
he is accused of having turned fhe Jail
into a comfortable private hotel Cor all
and any of his detenus who could pay
for the privilege. Not only did he sup
ply them with money, playing cards,
liquor, newspapers and tobacco but he
entertained the most liberal of the pris-
oners in his own house, and used 'one of
the cells as bar and supper room. for
a considerable bribe he allowed certain
of his boarders to go home at night, es-
corting them back in the early morn
ing; while others received their wives to
an at home in their cells. Every new
conner was expected to pay his footing
by inviting guardian and guests to a
drinking bout. and one notorious prison
er he actually sent home for more
money, remarking: "You are safe to
come back, for a jailbird you must al
ways be; and better in my Jail than any
other" The man returned. The case
has led to number of minor prosecu-
tons against prisoners and their wives
for bribery and breaking prison rules

A Mothers Duties and Claims.

In an article deprecating the tendency
of mothers of the present day to escape
the care and responsibility of training
their children, Edward w. Box. in the
Ladies Home journal, emphasizes the
distinction between mothers duties
and the claims upon her time:
"* 81 When to woman is given the
sweetest delight that can come to her,
motherhood, God gives with that delight
a duty-the duty of personal training
of the child. Before that duty, all out
side work. care not by what religious,
charitable or philanthropic word you
may cali it-should fall. No matter what
outside work a woman may be engaged
in. the best can only be claim upon her
time, and not a duty. And duties never
conflict. God gives no more duties to a
woman than she has the time or ability
to fulfill. The exactions of the world
are not duties: they are claims. If there
is time if is well to meet them. But
claims being man-made and duties being
God-made the former must often be ig-
nored and should be put aside where
the latter calls. Women should think
OF this and bear it in mind a little more
constantly than they do. especially in
these days of organizations"

Child Brides Out of Date.

Singular how sentiment changes with
the modes of century! Did you ever
remark that, according to all authorities
concerned. your mother and the mother
of everyone else of the present generation
was welded at IS? The grandmammas
usually met their mates and married
them while still at school, and according
to tradition their first long frock was
the wedding robe
Things have changed. The girl of IS
today is hardly finished school. seldom in
society, and she very rarely marries UNI
til she has tasted atwo seasons of social
Joys. To be sure, even with this late
marrying divorces are more numerous
than in olden time. But, then, they are
less froWned upon.
Even broken engagement in other
days was a stigma which no young wom-
an cared to bring upon herself. And the
broken engagement is often blessing
in disguise.
The moral of the whole affair seems to
be that young people should beware of
impulsive betrothals. Boys and girls who
are scarcely out of their teens cannot be
regarded as having any fixity of mind,
and the chances are that before the ny
meneal altar is reached both will have
seen that they were mostaken. When
this stage is reached it is Infinitely bet
ter to draw back before the final step has
been taken which may ruin two lives.

Benjamin Harrison is less formidable,
and there are a great many young Bens
in the country.
Old Ben Butler, who was never happy
unless doing something original, said to
me in 1884, when he ran for President

about $4,000 popular votes: Il have
