Things Children Should BE Taught.

The raising of children has become q
scientific question. Froebel, in his kin
dergarten methods, showed how utterly
we were at fault In some of our most gen.
orally accepted theories of education.
While tho proper schooling of children ia
important in molding them intellectually
tho training they receive in tho homo is
ever moro important In molding their
characters. The New York World gives
tho following points that children should
be taught:
That teasing Is q positive crime
That they must eat bread before cake.
That bedtime is not movable" hour.
That they must speak respectfully to
tho servants.
That bawling over bruises is unworthy
sturdy beings.
That they should not appeal from the
decision of one parent to tho other.
That punishment follows in the wnke
OF prevarication and of hiding more swift
ly than 1t follows active mischief.
That 1t Is In bad taste for them to tell
all that they learn of tho neighhors' do
nestle arrangements through playing
with the neighbors' children.

rrnlho's nieanest Man.

A wealthy resident of York county
lost his wife n few weeks ago. Her i'll
ness was prolonged and no doubt ex-
pensive. But that was the poor woman g
misfortune. not her fault. However,
her thrifty husband cheered the final
weeks OF her life by regularly sitting
down by her bed each day and detailing
how much her sickness was costing
him. striking trial balance for the
suffering wife's benefit every day. AT
last she died-the doctor, who knew of
the husbands singular methods of
cheering sickbed, said there was no
doubt about it-and while she lay in
her coffin the bereaved spouse, deep in
thought, picked up one of the dead
wifos shoes and carefully figured OH it's
sole with q bit of chalk the sum total of
what the sad affair had cost him. This
grievous statement of facts is solemnly
made by the Bangor Commercial, which
congratulates the woman on being dead.
How about the man-could he be any
deader?-Lewiston Journal.

California played game of football at
the university campus yesterday after
noon, in which the U. S. G. team was
beaten by the score Of ~ to4.
The game was exceedingly slow from
the start and the errors and fouls were
numerous. In the first half Throop
scored three touch-downs, and Senter
failed to kick goal on all of these. In
the last half the university got the ball
on the five-yard line on f1uke, and then
managed to buck the bail over for q
touchdown, missing an easy goal kick,
however.
The game was very poor exhibition
of football playing, which 10 probably
due to the fact that neither team was
well organized, and a number Of new
men had to be substituted, who were
not used to the signals.

was as follows:

Council of Los Angeles
Gentlemen-Prelimina to the intro

citizens of Los Angeles, the metropolis

incorporate in my original remarks, in
cidental to the forceful propositions
that shall subsequently make near the
center and circumference of my mes
sage, the following categorical ideas OF
reform that will be more fully compre-
hended by considering the aggregation
of essential. moral and religious pril-
ciples involved. II is scarcely necessary
for me to say that have at this partic-
ular juncture passed through every
sign of the political and moral zodiac.
from the curled and Assyrian bull called
Taurus, to the sign of the virgin that
naturally and necessarily is prophetic
of honesty and chastity in the manda-
tory functions of public official, repre-
senting, as ! would, the hopes and aspi-
rations of those who have an interest IN.
the spirits of just men made perfect, and
who expect to mingle and commingle
with that regenerated throng. As
mayor of this city, and head and front
and back of her magnificent possibii
ties of moral and material developments,
guided in my judgment by the supremaly
unimpeachable judgment of my init
mate friend, Colonel Otis, who is abso-
lutely impeccable in law and morals
without fear and without reproacn and
has a conglomerated aggregation Of
friends who will stand by me as Peter
stood by Christ, previous to the oriental
cock Growing several times. I propose
or purpose to call your unsolicited
ton without supererogation of authority
of intellectual acumen to the water
question and police commission. Not
wishing to indulge in ponderous plati-
tudes, it may not be inappropriate nor
ipopportune to state that water is es-
sential to animal and vegetable life.
