AMERICAN CHILD AND PARENT
Filial Ptety Almost Unknown In This
Country.

Filial Piety Almost Unknown 4. This
Country.
It was a pretty little letter that Ii
Hung Chang wrote to a little Brooklyn
girl few weeks ago in which he COM
mended especially to her the religion
of his country-reverence and respect
for her 'paremts-virtues which in this
country are sadly neglected. The Amer
ican child judges his parent with youth
full severity, not unmiXed with preju-
dice, inasmuch as he is directly affect
ed by his fathers or mothers short
comings. To feel respect simply be-
cause a certain individual stands to
him in loco parentis never enters his
mind. If his parent is worthy to be
loved, according to the child's stand.
ards, he loves him; If not, he dislikcs
him, and calmly discusses his faults as
if he were O stranger. What is known
as filial piety is almost unknown in
America. A certain sense of duty is
undoubtedly felt An old and INDECENT
parent would be cheerfully supported.
For, without having any particular rev.
erence, Americans are kind to old peo-
pie, and even tolerant to the foibles
and weaknesses of a grandparent, be-
ing only severe in their criticisms of
their immediate progenitors.
The chief trouble in this country is
that there is no regular standard COM
mon to every household that all young
people should conform to as matter of
course Some families are strict, 9TH
ers are lax, but in one and all children
rank with their elders. Family rule is
kydra-headed in America" says one of
our many foreign critics with much rea-
son, but how they do love to criticise
US! No other country is so constantly
dissected and pulled to pieces. "Chil-
dren, wives and servants, all but the le-
gitimate head of the house, with an
equal voice in the management, and
each with a veto over his personal wills
and wants"
ut must not be supposed" this writer
says in another part OF his book, from
the social and domestic prominence Of
the women and children that American
men are supine lot; they are subordi-
nate to their families, but are not to
be bullied by other men. 1t is simply
the habit of the country, as an Indian
warrior Of undoubted bravery, whose
tepee is hung with scalps, may be
beaten by his favorite squaw without
loss of dignity"
But" continues our latest critic,
who find our institutions atrocious,
our society crude and vulgar, yet who
evidently has kindly feelings for Amer
lean men and women despite their
shortcomings-"le plus terrible OF ALL
the enfant terrible, is the American en-
famt''-in him he finds nothing to
praise!-N. Y. Tribune.

BORING FOR STEAM.
Hope to Find 1t Two Miles Below tne
Enrth's Surface.

Hope to Find 1t Two Miles neA~" sAA~
Enrth's Surface.
The deepest well in the world Will
.oon he completed near Pittsburgh, ia.
II is now more than one mile deep, and
when it is finished it may reach two
miles into the earth. 1t is being boren
in the interest OF science. The object IN
penetrating SO deeply Is to determine
inst what the interior of the human
footstool is like. From commercial
point of view the well was success
long ago. A comparatively few feet
below the surfnce both gas and Oil were
struck in paying quantities, but the
company owning the plant determined
to dedicate it to science, and invited
Prof. William Hallock, Of Columbia col
lege, to carry on series OF temperature
Investigations as the hole is carried
deeper and deeper into the earth. The
result of these Investigations Is very
interesting, and it is the opinion OF sew
eral well-known scientists that the ul-
innate result of the boring will prove to
be of widespread economic as we'll as OF
scientific value. Most significant OF All
the facts 30 far ascertained is that the
we'll grows steadily hotter as its depth
increases. - ...g,
It is the intention of the company to
continue the boring process until some
thing entirely new and original is de-
yeloped. This may seem a crude way OF
putting the statement, but it has long
been a theory among well men that II
it is possible to go deep enough some
rew geologic condition or economic fea-
.ure would be found to exist. At the
very lead they claim natural steam
would be encountered, or the well walls
would finally become go hot that water
could be pumped down cold and pumped
up in the form of steam, and thus the
natural power of the future be obtained.
At any rate there IS material for much
speculation, and the interest becomes
greater in increase ratio as the drill
descends and st4rling event is ex-
pected to happen almost any day. One
remarkable feature of the we'll is that
the gas found near the surface is now
used to operate the powerful engines
which do the drilling. Thus the naturai
power already issuing from the well Is
utilized for the purpose OF deepening
it.-Washington Star.

SPANKING AN ELEPHANT.
In India One Animal II Made to Pun
fsh Another.


ish Another.
Did you ever see an elephant spanked?
Scarcely, for they don't do such things
in this country. But they do in India.
Capt. Martin, Of the British army, sta
toned at Campbenpore, vouches for
this story. Elephant Abdul (No. 15)
was on trial for killing his keeper, Syce
Ramboucles, by picking him up by the
legs and crushing his skull against
tree.
The president of the court-martial
was Mai. Cameron, of the Thirty fourth
Hacras native infantry. He read the
charge and then witnesses proved that
Abdul was guilty as charged. The
president then sentenced the culprit to
90 lashes and to two years imprison-
ment.
Two elephants led Abdul to an open
snace and in the presence OF the whole
battery the punishment began. The
culprit trumpeted in fear and made an
unearthly noise.
There were IA elephants on one side
and the officers and men OF the bat
tery on the other three. In the center
of this hollow square stood Lalla (No.
". the foeger, and the prisoner. The
latter was chained by the four legs to
as many heavy iron pegs. and could not
move.
Fastened to Lalla's trunk was an i'm
mense cable chain. When all was ready
the major gave the word, and down
came the chain with resounding
w,ack Abdul roared for all he was
worth. Fifty times was the operation
repeated, and then Abdul was taken TO q
compound, where he remained prs
cner for two years.-N. Y. Journal.

SOUSA AND THE CHILDREN.

When the Big Folks Had Gone He
Gave the Little Ones q Treat.
A pretty incident occurred at that
quaint old North Carolina town, Colds
boro, not long ago, which will not soon
pass from the minds of those who saw
it. Everyone who knows John Philip
Sousa, the famous director of Sousa's
band, knows full well that he is man
of the finest instincts and love for the
beautiful in all things, as well as in
music. His affection for children is
marked, probably arising in the devo-
ton he gives his own two beautiful lit
tie daughters and handsome and manly
son, now a young student in an eastern
military school.
Sousa's band played a matinee at
Goldsboro, and before it closed a
swarm of school children stormed the
opera house to the very door. To quiet
them was an impossibility, and to let
them in the house would have broken
up the concert. Sousa sent messenger
to tell them that if they would keep
quiet he would let them all come into
the theater as soon as the big folks got
out, and he would have the band play
for them. Instantly they were still as
mice.
The big audience was very soon dis
missed, ond then the little ones poured
in. They filed every inch of the lower
floor, and the band played as 1T has
seldom played before. Sousa never re-
ceived such vociferous applause, and
probably never any SO genuine.
The special train that was to convey
the band to Wilmington drew up al
most in front of the door, and Sousa
and the band quietly disappeared
through the stage door and started for
the cars, but the children were too
quick for them, and when Sousa came
out they flew upon him like flock OF
doves, took him prisoner and led him
slowly captive to his private car. with
screams of delight and laughter. while
half the town looked on and laughed as
heartily. Within the car the real siege
began, for the children swarmed there
too. Some brought flowers and myrtle
and holly, and Sousa was fairly sub
merged in the floral tidal wave. The
children ruled the hour, and when the
train drew out half an hour delayed
there was cheer by the hundreds OF
men which did not drown the piping
farewells of the little ones.-Boston
Globe
