SPEAKER REED has been presented
with a gavel from Mr.. Blaine's birth
place, accompanied by the following
letter, which is self explanatory: The
wood for this gavel was taken out of
the window frames of the Blaine house.
A living shrine is more satisfactory
than dead one, mans house is more
attractive than his grave. To see the
rooms in which he lived and talked,
the bed on which he slept, the chair
and table where he wrote, the very pen
which his living fingers guided-these
very sights bring the man before us and
he lives again. James G. Blaine be-
longs to history. Knowing the Hon.
Thomas B. Reed to be friend OF the
dead statesman, we send him thls:
gavel as a token of our esteem and re-
spect for him personally, and as our
standard bearer in 1896. We hope
when taps of this gavel shall call the
House to order, it will call before the
members the form of Hon. James G..
Blaine, whose words have echoed
through the chamber which now knows
his voice no more"

Chinese Treatment Of Children.

However little liked the China1nan
may be By his white neighbors, I have
at all times found that the Chinese had
at least one good and praiseworthy quail
ity-the kindness shown by all u them
toward their children. The poorest
parents always seem able TO save enough
money 70 array their little ones in gay
garments On New Years day or other
holidays. The children in turn seem to
be remarkably well behaved and respect
full toward their elders, and rarely il
ever receive corporal punishment They
seem very happy. and apparently enjoy
their childhood more than most Ameri-
can children. On almost any sunny day
the fond and proud father may be seen
at every turn in Chinatown carrying his
brightly attired youngster in his arms
Other little tots, hardly old enough to
feel quite steady On their legs, toddle
about with infants strapped on their
backs. They do not appear to mind this,
and it does not seem TO interfere with
their childish pastimes. About the time
Of the Chinese New Year Chinese chill
dren are particularly favored. and the
fond fathers deny them nothing. The
little ones always appear to be we'll pro-
vided with pocket money to buy toys
and candies. -Theodore WOres in st.
