Foolishness of Parents.

One-half the parents of this land and
country seem to lack the common sense
and tirmness to eve teach their chill
eren decency, to say nothing at all about
good manners and religious training.
Instead of controlling their children
kindly but firmly. they allow them to go
to ruin, simply because they arc too lazy
and t%ritling to properly train them. or
else because they fail to realize their
own responsibility in the matter.
They have II false idea that it does q
child no good to force it to attend
church and Sunday school. There is no
need of force if the parents will only
set Il little wholesome example in this
direction. They do not reason in any
such way about children attending the
secular schools, but they sec to it that
they attend at amy and all times, and
they profess great anxiety for the teach
ers to learn them correct habits, but
seem to entirely forget the part they
ought to perform.
A wGtrr on this subjects very sensi-
bly, says: "The boy who has an aver
sion 10 daily washing his face or comb
ing Als hair Is not allowed to exercise
hIs/ preference IN these matters. He
learns habits of neatness, habits of
habits Of industry, by being
to cultivate such habits.
Why not in the same way teach him ha-
bits Of reverence, OF worships, of SABBATH
and church going ?'-Col-

Baltimore. May .i.-Stuart Janney ana

men OF Baltimore and graduates u Johns
Hopkins. who have returned mere after
a TWO years experience IN the cuban army,
mad some very interesting adventures
while there They landed from the Three
Friends. were seven days In finding the
insurg,nt camp. during which time three
OF their party died from exhaustion ana
an narrowly escaped being ambushed
and shot by the people they came TO as
slst.
What happened after this Is partially
iotd by Captain Janncy as follows
we were taken back into the noun
taius." said he and our party assigned
10 places with Garcia's command, whlch
consisted OF probably 2jO or S,0@ men.
Ne two we're assigned TO a battery ana
stayed In the artillery until nine months
ago. when L0trobc was given place on
ON General Clolssa's stan. We found
that In the mountains nearly all The in
surscnts were negroes and commanded
by negro officers. but that In the central
PARTS OF the island the troops were all
white and commanded by white othcers.
We noticed that when negro officer was
killed or died that q white man was al
ways appointed In his place. 1t seems
that the policy OF the insurgent govern
ment is to gradually put the army en-
tircIy In command OF white men, They are
not so very gentle down there. Nobody
rxperts to give or take quarter and a
| man might as well be killed At once as
| 10 be wounded and captured They don
generally respect a flag OF truce, SO we
sent them very few. There were number
! of Americans with us, There was JOY OF
/ New York and Penny OF Washington, VINO
came back with us, Osgood, the uniVer-
/ sity OF Pennsylvania football player,
whose death We read OF In the papers
| Among tho Others killed by Spanlards
/ there were Joe Chapleau of Boston and a
| Fronch Canadian named Huntington, The
/ hottest fight we were In was at Bayamo
where the insurgents with $50 men at
tackled a Spanish party OF about 5000,
| They were acting as convoy to a caravan
/ that had a lot of provision wagons, we
/ lost something over 100 men and accord
