HOW CHILDREN ARE SPOILED.
Tho Young Mother Foseeas Ugly rraits by
InjudIoious Management

Tho Young Mother Foseess Ugly Trsits by
Injudieaous Management
The dangers that cluster about the
untried feet of the young mother begin
from the very first dawning of her
babes intelligence. Long before she
dreams of his knowing anything or re-
ceiving mental Impressions, the seeds
are sowing for good or i'll in his char
acter. have watched the growth Of
weeds that, with the lightest touch.
might have been fiipped away from the
tender soil. but time passed by and the
intruder flourished apace. Get control
of your child during the first three
years and you are sure of him. If the
habit of obedience and Difference is
firmly rooted then he will never fail you
in after years when he has slipped the
apron leash.
The trouble y too often with the
parents. The mother herself fosters
ugly traits by injudicious management.
Her baby refuses to kiss her. She makes
lesson that will soon have him crying
for what he wants. lie bumps his head
ard she whips the door or whatever it
was that hurt him. thus teaching him to
be combntivc and spiteful. What is it
that makes nearly all children liars and
many of them thieves? They arc
trained to be so by the unconscious fin
gers that point The way. The mother
promises anything, everything to keep
pence and avoid q combat with the
little creature, who even now is beyond
her control. She does not fulfill these
promises and the child becomes her
judge. Never tell lie to child, or in
my way deceive him, il you would hope
to get the proper influence. Do not rob
him Of the happiness of supreme trust
in you. 1t will cling to him through life.

A wanaerins Lake.

The swediah explorer of Central Asia.
Sven Hedin, gives the latest information
concerning the wandering" Of Lake
Nor in the Cobb desert, a phenomena
about which contradictory views have
been entertained. He says that Tarim
river, entering the luke from the west,
brings down, during the period of high
water late in summer, q great quantity
OF silt, which has the effect of driving
the lake, lying on the level floor of the
desert, toward the southeast. But the
summer wind, drifting the surface sand
and 'darkening the heavens with dust,
blows generally from the northeast and
II, too. tends to drive the lake before it.
The combined effect Of the urging by
the wind and the river is to force the
lake southwark. Yet Sven Hedin thinks
the migration of the lake is not constant
in direction, but it shifts back and forth
intermittentfy, according a. the cir
cumstances change.

The Steamboat Pilot adds the follow

public's attention in these columns:
There is now working up this way
from Meeker smoothtongued gentle
man who says he is-and it is probably
true-a travelling representative of q
large eastern grocery and supply house.
He tells the people that they are being
robbed by their home merchants, and is
said to be doing thriving business. He
Is working the old dodge of selling some
articles below cost and making it up on
others. The prices of the low articles
he compares with the prices Of home
merchants, and people who do not in:
vestigate think they can save . great
deal Of money. 1t is = delusion and q
snare. Before purchasing Of him sub

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, Feb. %
The legislature to-day voted a radical
change in the manner of conducting
legal executions. The House passed
Senator Peers bill providing that
death penalties shall be inflicted
within the walls of the penitentiary.
The vote stood "a TO %.
The bill provides that alleXecutions
shall be under Il, direction of the
Penitentiary Warden. He is allowed
the privilege of deputizing any person
20 perform the work.
The Sheriff of the county from
watch the condemned prisoner comes
i presumed to be in attendance and
provision is also made for the ad-
mission of clergymen. physicians and
reporters.
BY reason of a slight House amend
ment the bill must be returned to the
Senate. It is understood. however.
that the amendment will be readily
concurred in.
The amendment in question changes
the bill so that the Warden shall not
be designated as .'executioner" al
though the bill as il not stands pro-
vides that the executions shall take
place under direction of the Warden.
