THE DEATH or CAPTAIN vEvAp1E.

THE DIA I'll OF CAPTAIN NENABI l.,
The death Of Captain Samuel Woodson
Venable, Of Petersburg, is a public loss
and to Us it is a personal sorrow. lie was
a good citizen, useful citizen, a man OF
sound judgment and high character. and
devoted to Virginia and her rast interests
His principles were deep-rooted and con-
slant and you knew always where to find
him. He took u keen interest in all ques-
lions Of public concern and while he was
an active, energetic, successful business
man with large interests, he was ever
ready to give part of his time and his
talents to his city and his State when ever
his services were asked for.
lie served the people Of Petersburg
ably and faithfully as chairman Of the
Finance Committee and in a political way
his wise counsel was most valuable to the
Democratic party.
in 1889 at the earnest solicitation Of his
friends he was brought forward as cam
didate for Governor before the Demo-
cratic Convention, and that he
possessed many qualifications that rem
dered him peculiarly fitted for that posi-
ton, an were ready to concedo. The chief
obstacle TO his success was his own
modesty which prevented him from max
ing a vigorous, aggressive canvass.
In the social circle Mr.. Venable was
genial and companionable, and his home
was proverbial for its charming hospital
u.s.. lie led a clean life he was loyal
TO his friends and true to his convictions,
and he was an examplar Of those virtues
that go to make up a wcll-rounded char
acter and q Virginia gentleman.

BEDTIME STORIES.
Good Results Attend Nightly Diet OF
Imagination Tales.


To send children happily to bed
should be one of the mothers most ordi-
nary tasks No little one should dread
the bedtime hour, nor fear the dark.
Lor be allowed to go to bed under
sense of disgrace or alienation from
household love. Whatever the child's
daytime naughtiness may have been at
Eightfali he should be forgiven, and go
to rest with the mothers kiss on his
lips and her tender voice in his ears.
Hardly anything can be worse for
young child than to be scolded or pun
ished at bedtime. The mother does well
10 be a little blind to some things, re-
Numbering that a good deal OF childish
culpability is superficial only, and
washes off almost as easily as does the
dirt which the evening bath removes
from the skin.
The main thing with children is tc
have them well started with good prin-
ciples, which they will carry through
life. Obedience, truth, unselfishness
purity, are essentials, and these can all
be lovingly cultivated, and will flourish
in the right home atmosphere.
When the nursery brood is undressed
and in bed. the lights turned low, the
~
or nurse, or elder sister, or the kind
auntie, who is still to be found in some
fortunate houses, should have a little
fund of stories on which to draw for the
small listeners pleasure before they
embark on the train for dreamland.
Fairy stories are always enjoyed by
children, and the literature Of fairyland
is not far to seek. Imagination is very
active in little children, and occasion
ally one meets a mother who does not
understand the chiId's world, having
forgotten her own early days and their
illusions, or who is afraid that fancy
and it's imageries will lead her child into
deceit. While the most exact and rigid
truthfulness should be practiced IN
cur dealings with children, and they
themselves should be taught to shun
equivocation and every form of lying.
still we need not fear to let imagina.
ton give them pleasure.
They early learn to discriminate be-
tween the false and the true-or per
haps it would be better to say that they
learn to find the truth wrapped up in
the husk of the story. Our fairy lore is
older than civilization. The same
and climes been taught and told tc
! children, and they have their origin in
| the needs and the heart of the race
| Children thrive on fairy stories. and are
the better able to grasp other itera-
| ture if early fed on these.-Washing

THE FARMING WORLD.
PRODUCTION OF MUTTON.

The Profit Comes from Doing 1t @ uick-
1y, and M Other Source.
At a state institute held in Column
BUS, o., paper was read by II. p. Mil
lcr, in which he said:
There is limited period in the life
of animals for growth. Every factor
in the problem of producing mutton,
points toward earlier marketing. To
paraphrase a familiar expression. it is
the early lamb that gets the prize. An
eight-weeks-old lamb, If in condition
and in season. commands the highest
price per pound ever attainable. A
very narrow limit of time at this
period and the height of the tide in
prices passes. A lamb not meeting the
requirements of the market at that
period must pass on into a cheaper
class, not to find sale until another
season opens which calls for lamb
three or five months old, but at less
price per pound.
THE lambs sold at four months old
do not, as a rule. bring as much as
those sold at two months old. If, again,
the age is doubled or tripled the mar
ket into which they must go is such
that in spite of their gain in size they
than at either of the former prices.
This may be continued until we have
the sheep at its maximum weight, and
the price per head does not vary greatly.
'"There is an impressive lesson in
this that has not found general appli-
cation in the growing of mutton. The
lesson is not, however, that all mutton
should be marketed in the form OF
eight-weeks-old lambs. Not all the
sheep-raisers are rightly situated re-
speeding market or equipped in skill
or stable accommodations for produc-
ing this class Of mutton. But this
teaching is of general application, tina:
the younger sheep can be marketed
when grown under the most economic
al conditions for meeting certain mar
ket for choice form the larger will be
the profit. To illustrate again by my
neighbours hogs: He feeds them along
through one winter, past a June mar
ket, and he says that if I were to raise
pork I would never go into the hog
business; [ should go into the pig bust
ness. Something similar to this is
what men must do who find that sheer
don't pay. Quit raising sheep and sc
to raising lambs"

TO HIM WHO WAITS.
summer Luxury of the Rich Is Shared
by the Poor Later On.


by the Poor Later On.
He was one of those ford individuals
with loud and arrogant voice who have
a habit of participating in whatever
conversation happens to be carried on
in their neighborhood. The particular
dialogue which he interrupted was oc.
cupying the attention of a couple of
men on an Illinois Central suburban
train.
They were evidently workingmen and
they were speaking of the unequal dis
tribution of wealth. The speakers
voices were scarcely audible, but the
loud man caught an occasional sentence.
Abruptly addressing one of the speak
ers, he rOared:
do you mean to tell me that the poor
haven't fair CHANGER"
Il mean to tell you nothing" was the
ready reply of the man to whom every
eye in the car was directed. II am dis
cussing the problem of labor with my
friend and am not addressing my re-
marks to the general public
This rebuff never feazed the cheerful
idiot opposite.
''Well,' he continued, ''I want to tell
you all this talk about the difficulties OF
the workingman is all nonsense. I've
been workingman myself and Difficult
ties didn't bother me any,"
mo, ! should fancy not" was the re-
joinder, spoken in q tone of quiet
irony.
Not noticing the interruption, the
interrupter continued:
~ hold everything equalizes itself in
this world if you only give it time. Give
'em time, that's my idea, and the labor
ing man will get all that belongs to
him."
A meek little man who sat across the
aisle here Clipped in:
My observation has convinced me
that the material progress of the work
ing classes is not commensurate with
their intellectual advancement, hence
their pocketbook is not equal to the de-
mands made upon it for the refinement
OF life"
Stuff" said the first speaker.
Everything comes to the man who
waits"
You are right" said the man OF
irony. Take ice for instance. Now
the rich man has his ice in the summer
and the poor man gets his in the win
ter. You see all the poor man has to
do is to wait for IT,"
A roar from all within hearing greet
ed this sally, and the ford man sub
sided.-Chicago Tribune.

The supply of gun barrels is therefore
considerably larger than that OF
carriages, and consequently some OF
the latter are now being made by pri-
waite parties. Thus q contract for 100

the job. The making of big gun car
rage is no mean undertaking. It re-
quires tremendous machinery, all Of
which must be both made and manipu-
lated with the most minute accuracy.
The trouble is that the machines needed
in the manufacture of guns can often
be utilized for no other purpose, while
most of the machines in other shops are
serviceable in great variety of work.
Private concerns have therefore COM
peted but little for the business. and it
has been left to the government to build
its own machinery and supply itself"

by the thickness of the post. through

a second nut turned on snugly. A rod
of round 20 inch iron is cut
3 feet long, an eye turned at one
