Pin Money.


and grown up daughters may do to
earn a little spending money of their
own. but what would be convenient
to do in one home might not be in
another with different surroundings.
Some, in the south, have found
making palmetto hats, baskets, fans
and wallpockets, for northern tour
lists to take home with them, quite
remunerative. They are really beau
tiful creations if the palmetto is prop
erly cured and bleached. 1t should
be a clear rich cream color which is
so becoming to every complexion, and
the hats are prettiest with Innings and
strings of null of same shade as the
palmetto.
There are many of these articles
made; but great number are dingy
and brown in appearance and heavy
in weight, hence are very unattrac-
tive and undesirable.
The model palmetto hat is so light
it's weight is scarcely felt on the head
while the brim is broad enough to en-
tirely shield the face from the sum-
mer sun.
A short while ago a Florida com
pany organized and ventured making
hats by the wholesale for the north
ern millinery stores. The hats were
braided and shaped very well, but
lacked the beautiful color and grace
full cord and tassel which adorns the
properly made sun hat, and there
was no demand for them, while in
the same town, several young ladies
were making more than pin money do
ing all the braiding and sewing them
selves.
Their hats were so beautiful that
when one lady bought one every
friend and acquaintance who saw il
must have one too, and would not &C
away without it if she could possibly
get it.
Now is the proper time to gamer
buds. Every few weeks there appears
a new bud leaf, and when it is full
grown spike just ready to open it car
be pulled out, or curt out with 6
Ratchet.
Shake the buds open and split each
section to the stem, then spread on 6
grassy spot in the sun. Some hang
it on the clothesline, but that cured
on the ground is much prettier. Il
should be taken in at night and will
be cured in few days. A few buds
will probably be white enough fol
braiding at once; but the greater par
will need to be bleached with sui
phur.
First prepare the palmetto. Make
hot suds with ivory soap-browr
soap is not pure enough and the high
ly perfumed soaps are too expensive
and dip and soak the dried palmetto
till it is soft and plant.
Knock both heads out of a -four
barrel and stand it over a small hole

Surely the writer in The American
strikes the keynote when he says thai
few intelligent" people think fol
themselves. He also says that ''par
ents in bringing up their children
adopt the plan of their parents, with
out questioning whether there may
not be a better one. If a boy acct
dentally gets his clothes wet and
dirty, he is punished by being sent to
bed, say, at noon, there to spend his
time in idleness and perhaps evil
thoughts. If he tells a lie or takes what
is not his own, he must be thrashed
Here, again, we see the tendency to
blindly follow Anticipated precepts.
Solomon said: ''He that spareth the
rod hateth his SON.; so Christian par
ents must thrash their children! Flog-
ging in the army had such brutal
izing and degrading effect that it was
stopped. In children, all physical
chastisement has brutal and de-
grading effect, and never, under
any circumstances, excites the
activity of the higher facul-
ties, tends to love, duty, obedience or
any goodness. 1t may, through fear,
secure obedience for a time; but we
come to hate what we fear, and the
ultimate effect is the opposite of that
desired
What makes the baby cross? Any
thing that disturbs the harmony of
ton are the two most common causes
of fretfulness, peevishness of cross
ness whichever you choose to call
i). Malnutrition and indigestion
are caused either by giving a child
improper food or too much food or by
giving good food at improper hours.
It makes little difference with the eff
feet which was the cause. In either
case the stomach feels bad, and the
child acts just as he feels, and he is
called cross. But if he is punished
does it correct the existing trouble?
Certainly a little child is not to blame
for eating improper food, or an i'm
proper amount of it, or for eating al
improper hours. The food, neverthe.
less, torments the baby. If he acts
as he feels and he is then punished
for it, what is the result? The next
time baby feels bad he keeps away as
much as he can from those that pun
ish. He seeks more sympathetic com
panions, and breach is begun be-
tween the parents and the child that
may be overwhelming.
Young children have no reason OF
experience to guide them. They are
as irresponsible as our domestic ami
mails. Parents who are ignorant Of
this fact, or who shut their eyes to it
are almost sure to be cruel. They ex
pect and often try to enforce implicit
obedience and perfect behavior. They
do not expect SO much from any 9th
er creature so young. It is impossi
BILE for children to obey such unrea
sonable demands.
Children cannot know what they
are required to do until they are
tanoht. Instinct does not guide them

A. II. Palmer, Arapahoe, Neb.: THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE is the acknowledged
champion of the veterans cause, and is
making an honorable fight for right and
justice, and therefore is well deserving of
the popularity it enjoys; yea, and much
more. The true soldiers and patriots are
not selfish and unreasonable. They simply
want their case presented in fair manner
to the patriotic citizens of the United States,
duly considered, and passed upon.

How a Cycler Caught a Fox.

R. Gordon, of Eastport, l.. l., skillful
wheelman, says an exchange, was treading
an easy measure on the new stretch of
macadam between Riverhead and Eastrort
when handsome young fox loped In beside
him and seemed to challenge him for q race
Gordon was afraid of running over it, but
the fox kept up to his increasing pace.
Away they went down the path at a 2:3O
clip. Neither could get away from the
other. At last wild idea of conquest
seized the rider, and, learning over his
handle bars, he grasped Sir Reynard by the
fape of the neck and lifted him into the
air The fox bit and scratched, but the
bold huntsman kept his hold and brought
the wheel safely to standstill. Then, with
his coat for muffier. he mado his prisoner
fast.

From time immemorial the Eskimos
have taken eggs and fowl during the short
season they were available. There is no
system of Gambling eggs to determine their
grade among the natives. An egg is an
egg to them at any period of incubation,
and as long rs the season lasts they live in
riotous plenty. Formerly they were CON
