The selling of violets in the streets of

months, at Christmas time especially the

PROVIDENCE is NOT ALL.
Captain Slocum Makes a Sharp Com
ment on Some Missionary Sailors

Captain Slocum of the yacht Spray,
who sailed around the world with a one
man crew, had an amusing encounter
at Newcastle. N. S. W. 1t appears that
while the Spray was lying at Newcastle
the London Missionary society's steam
yacht John Williams entered the port
for bunker coal. The missionaries paid
Captain Slocum a visit and openly ex-
pressed their astonishment at the hardi-
hood of d man who could trust himself
ne-handed in nHiGiocean in such craft.
Their establishment became still greater
when they saw his navigating instru-
ments, which consisted of a rusty sex
tant, and an old-fashioned chronometer
and a battered telescope.

Providence" said one of the reverend
gentlemen.

cum. On leaving the Spray they invited
him to pay them return visit. The fol-

"W-what is it?" gasped the farmer,

to tremble.
IT'S about your wife. Don't scream

Yves. Is she dead?'
She has run off with another man
and you will probably never see her

woman, who rushed into the farmers

her he turned her around to face the
little group of us, who were on to the

lacking in several front teeth and had a
dozen moles on her face.

ership of NJ. Godin. have up to the pres
ent met with more success in this pecul-
lar line of endeavor than any of the
others; but the mere fact that the
scheme has been fathered by Socialism
has subjected 1t to adverse criticism
from those to whom the word socialism
is IN obnoxious offense.
When NJ. Godin first advanced his
scheme II was received as a mere ITO
plan dream, and he was adjudged a WIS.,
ionary. Yet it has survived some four
teen years and when its workings are
examined 1t can be seen that there are
substantial reasons for it's success.
THE GUISE FAMILISTERY.
M. Godin established three huge build
ings, which are called famlisteries The
most important of these is located near
the little city of Guise. in the depart
ment OF Aisne. some forty miles to the
north of Paris. The familistery Is moth
ing more than q socialist settlement of
come 500 souls. and 80 per cent of them
are composed of families of which both
parents perform outside labor. This. of
course, leaves the children at home un-
cared for by their natural guardians.
II was to offset this latter calamity
that the famifisteries were established

TO Its number, and If there are any
profits these are divided at regular in
tie luxuries. impossible to the single
home. are enjoyed by the syndicate OF
houSekeepers, but the greatest are re-
served for the children.
The pleasantest. largest and sunniest
apartment is reserved in the Guise fam
ilistery for the children. At 6 o'clock
In the morning the youngsters are
turned over to the care-takers. The very
young babies are placed In one division.
the little children who must be amused
ana guarded are placed in another, and
the older ones. who have reached the
echooling age. are placed in a third.
They are all washed, dressed and break
tasted.
There is a room set apart for cribs
ana cradles in which the little ones
sleep the best part of the day, and
much larger room where the older bro
Tiers and sisters can romp and play nm
der the watchful eyes of the kindly
nourrice.
In this room there are all kinds of
piaytnlngs. Mechanical dolls, which
move around the floor on wheels and
all kinds of gimcracks attached to cross
wires with elastic. dance about in the
air. When the children grow tired, thev
are placed In little settees: these ore
arranged in a circle. and the day mo-
ther tells them fairy stories, or puts the
mechanical toys through some wonder
full tricks.
MADE THOROUGH SOCIALISTS.
In the schools the children are abIv
taught. and in addition to the reruIar
lessons. which fit the pupils to become
Intelligent workers, they are impreg-
mated with the science of socialism So
that the scholar will be certain IN ra
main with the Socialists in later life
While the main purpose of the fam
ilistery is the culture OF children who
might otherwise be neglected. II also

three nights of each week there Is
something to regale the eye or mind
OF the wearied worker
There is nothing approaching the IA
miltstery just described in New York,
or. for that matter, In any city of this
country. The children here whose par
ents are forced to leave them by the
necessity of doing outside labor have a
hard time of it, The Little Mother
an institution peculiar to the poor Of
New York, Is generally relied upon to
care for the little ones.
The Little Mother" is the eldest
daughter in the family, oftentlmes
child of eight or ten years. Upon her
puny experience and strength devolves
the responsibility of caring for three or
four younger children, watching, dress
Ing and amusing them. On pleasant
days they keep their charges out on
the sidewalk as much as possible, and
when an organ grinder comes their
way they are lifted to the seventh heav-
en- Of delight. The Little Mothers"
have little or no opportunity to acquire
even the rudiments Of an education, for,
as soon as the next oldest girl becomes
able to manage the children the eldest
sister joins the ranks of the bread WIN
ners.
A RECOGNIZED INSTITUTION.
The Little Mother" is such a general
institution that number of charttab bic
women some years ago formed the Lit

tablished summer home called "Holi-

where the tiny guardians are given a

the south of Washington square, is an
institution which is many times better
than the Little Mothers" but some dis

PRACTICAL UTOPIAN DREAM
How French Socialists Care for Poor
Children
While the Fathers and Mothers Are
Away at Work, the Youngsters Are
Guarded and Educated.

NEW YORK, Jan. S~-One result Of
the congress OF mothers to be held in
Washington next month will probably
be the development of some practical
scheme for the care of the children of
the poor of the large cities-the children
whose fathers and mothers must work
all day long away from home. This
leaves the little ones to practically care
for themselves, and the evil Of such a
system needs no explanation.
In many of the European cities the
problem has been attacked with vary
ing success. 1t has been a problem on
the other side of the ocean for longer
period than here, because of the en-
forced absence of the mother as well
as the father Of the household.
The French Socialists, under the lead

terry. 1t Is called "Ecole Maternelle," :"
or "Motherly School," and is patron
lied almost wholly by French parents,
although a few Americans have seized
upon its advantages for their children.
The caretaker is a happy, sensible
Frenchwoman. whose first effort is to
instill in the minds of her charges the
beauties of politeness. The parents of
each child pay SO cents a week. and the
youngsters have the combined ad-
vantages of home and a school. While
the very little ones play or sleep the
others are taught. Every half hour
there is recreation for all hands, and
madame plays the piano while her
charges march and dance
Were institutions of this kind distrib-
uted through the poor quarters Of the
city the infant mortality of the tene-
ment districts would doubtless be large
ly decreased.

A SHOT AT THE SENATE.

A Kentucky Orator Who Found the
senate TOO Deliberntive.
A lot of Kentuckians were talking the
other evening about the great men of
their state, says the Washington Star.
.'One of the finest old gentlemen on
earth," said distinguished man in the
group, ais Gen. John S. Williams, or
'Cerro Gordo,' as he is popularly known,
and when | was in the senate gallery
the other day, listening to the solemnity
of things, l was reminded of the time
when Gen. Williams was a Kentucky
representative in that distinguished
body. The general, as we all know in
Kentucky, is spellbinder, and when he
turns his voice and his brilliant oratory
loose on the blue grass air it stirs things
ND 10 feet below the ground and clean
up to the canopy of the heavens.
when the general came to the senate
he had an idea that what was good in
kentucky was good anywhere, SO he
was ready at any time to let loose any
quantity of eloquence. He had oppor-
tunity in plenty, asst happened, but the
result of his efforts was not satisfac-
tory. He kept on trying, but still it
wouldn't work, and one day the general
gave way in the cloakroom before
dozen or more listeners.
BE CAD, suh,' he said, hotly, i
think it is shame, sub, that the gal
leries of this senate chamber are not al
lowed to applaud, sub. Why, sub, when

applause is such, sub, that if the SAINT
privileges were allowed in these gal
leries, sub, l would be able, sub, to lii

frigidity of this senate absolutely par
