woaznSind; Elizabeth Harrison, in
one of her talks to mothers on child
culture. relates the following Incident;
"a friend came to me and said;
What shall / do with my Willie? He
dallies- so much about everything that
he has to do. II send him upstairs af-
ter my thimble or thread Il may be half
an hour, or even an hour before he re-
turns. / have scolded him and scolded
him, but 1t seems to do no good
by scolding,' replied, you have
emphasized the fault you wished to cure
and have separated yourself from your
boy, Now try to emphasize the oppo-
site virtue-promptness-by praising
him for 1t when you have the opportu-
nifty
"'Ah, there's no use In talking of
that she answered; he IS never
prompt
Then, said ], " he IS never so vol
unfairly, make an occasion. Ask him
to go to the kitchen or some other part
OF the house on an errand for you; tell
him that you win count while he Is
gone When he gets back, commend
him for having returned more quickly
than usual. At dinner tell his father,
as II II were fine bit OF news. This
will make It meritorious achievement
in your sons eyes,
THE next week she came to me with
her face fairly radiant and said: I have
been counting, and Willie has been
trotting ever since last week laugh
ed and told her that her mother-wlt
would soon have to hunt up some new
device.
"Mothers. so cultivate the rational ell
ement In yourselves that YOU can see
that every fault in your child Is simply
the lack of some virtue. In the inner
chamber of your minds. study your chill
dren, confess their faults to yourselves,
not to your neighboTs, and ask what Is
lacking that these defects exist. Like
Nehemiah OF old. build up the wall
where It Is the weakest: II your child Is
selfish, 1t Is unselfshness that needs
cultivation; II he Is untruthful, 1t is ac-
curRcy that is lacking; perhaps he is
tyrannlcal 10 the younger brother or
sister: II is the element OF nurture or
tenderness which should be developed.
Build up the positive side of your
child's nature and the negative side will
not need to be unbullt."

HOME SECRETS.
Wheeling Mothers Keep Them, but with
Little Light There Need lie None.

How carefully mother guards the Sc
crets of her boys and girls. At night as
she carefully tucks the bed clothes
round them she chIdes and warns that
mother will be angry IL they repeat last
nights offense. softly saving to herself
! It's only habit but must break them
of It. This Is mothers mistake. The
children cannot help II. and sweet, clean
dry beds can be the resting place OF
! every child when It is understood that
the cause is not habit, but a weak
ness that can be cured.
Active life OF the little ones tends to
! weaken the kidneys, and weak kidneys
means inability to retain the urine.
This is condition, not habit, and
should have the same prompt attention
you would give to the marked symp-
toms of any disease. One Of Doan's
Kidney Pills taken twice n day and at
bed time win strengthen the kidneys OF
child and In short time there will
be no cause to scold, for the s0-called
habit will disappear promptly,
Here's a grateful mother that adds
her endorsement to our words:
Mrs William Mcbride. Of No.2S2
West Bloom Street, Mansfield. Ohio,
says: My little bOy,when he was elght
weeks old. was attacked with rheuma-
tism. He recovered from the immedl-
ate effects Of It, hut ever since he has
had weak kidneys. This has given me
a great deal OF trouble both during
the night nnd'th day on account Of the
inability to retain the urine II appar.
entity had the effect OF making him
feel poorly, for his appetite tagged and
he did not thrive. We were anxious TO
ret something that would benefit him,
SO when we noticed more than one ac-
count of Doan's Kidney pills curing
such cases, we got him box We gave
him one pill at time and We're much
plensed that he was taking a turn for
the better and showed steady improve
ment. We can recommend Doan'g Kid

London Daily Mail: a correspondent
whose veraclty has hitherto been above
suspicion, writes from Ha-Flong, in
Assam. relating a story Of the recent
earthquake there, which Is best given
without further comment than the
above testimonial 1t is as follows;
1.-TWO residents OF Ha-Flong were out
shooting rhlnoceros forty-eight miles
from the station. They had been fot-
lowing up the spoor of one Of these
pachyderms, and finally came upon 1t,
quietly browsing In valley. The first
sportsman. waiting his opportunity took
careful aim, and was on the point Of
firing when the quick-witted animal
spotted him and charged Just as the
shikar pulled the trigger the earth be-
gan to tremble violently aud the bullet
missed its mark.
The maFksmaa was thrown TO the
ground by the rocking OF the earth
crust, and the rhlnoceros, webbing
about through the same cause, charged
on it, helpless victim. Bat Providence
opened yawninE chasm between them,
into which the pachyderm fell and was
cngulfcd. At the time OF the animal
being swallowed UP by the gigantic
earth crack, the sportsman's compan-
lon fred at the beast but the oscillation
made him aim so badly that he shot his
already PROSTATE friend aud when the
smoke cleared away could scarcely be-
iieve his senses, which told him the
rhnoceros was defunct
However, sportsman No summon

companion carried IN to n-I'lonR.

More Eouipment for the b. & O.

Within the past four months the
business of the B. & o. has improved
to such an extent and the prospect of
further increase is SO good that the
Receivers ordered the following new
equipment:
5000 box cars from the Pullman Car
Company.
1000 box cars from the Missouri Car
Works for the Fairport line.
500 coal cars from the Michigan Car
Company.
20 freight and 5 passenger locomo-
tives from the Baldwin Locomotive
Works.
This equipment is being delivered
daily and as fast as the engines and
cars are received they are placed in
active service. These cars and en-
gines will not increase the equipment
to such an extent as might be thought
as a great many old locomotives are to
be retired from service as soon as the
new engines are completed. Among
these old locomotives are about twen-
ty of the famous old Camel backs that
have been in use since before the war.
They have been doing yard duty but
have even gotten too old for that.
However the new engines will in
crease the road capacity to a very
large extent and the new cars will
give the b. & O. the additional equip
ment that is badly needed,
Within the past year and a half
about l0,0 600 now freight cars aud 140
locomotives have been ordered and adj
ded to the equipment.

The New Orleans Picayane save:
s'The great river, recently so rampant
and menacing, has shrunk between
its banks and the food of 1897 is
thing of the past. The Orleans levee
board has made up its accounts OF
the recent fight against the food for
protection of this city, and the
amount is Sl7l,0 The high water
of 1897 in the Mississippi Valley
reached at this city on the l4th of
MAY the unprecedented height of
1875 feet above low water, an excess
of 1.6 feet above any previous flood
on record. At yicksburg, April l6,
the gauge showed flood of 525 feet
being l foot 5 inches above the food
of 1862, the highest record ever
made in the historic period.
This extraordinary visitation of
water in the Mississippi Valley was
resisted with greater success and
with less damage to the levees than
was ever before the case in any flood
season. There were fewer breaks
in the levees, and, although great in
jury was wrought in the submerged
districts of Arkansas and Mississip-
pi, the loss was not as great on &C.
count OF the protection given by the
levees as it had been in former years
for, even despite the breaks, the
great lines of leyees still standing
concentrated the greatest force of
the river within its channel and
hurried the water out to sea with a
rapidity unknown when many miles
of the leyees were destroyed and the
river spread over wide expanse of
the lowlands without restraint. The
theory Of the levees is that they will
concentrate the current and give it
increased force, and this has been
the result obtained in the present
case
