Phaaea of Child Life.

Children pass through a great many
phases. Transitions are often trying.
Keep these related facts in mind. We
sometimes fix fault by taking too
much notice Of it. A mistake should
not be treated as wilful sin. A tran
sient awkwardness may be due to rapid
growth. A shyness Of behavior, which
amounts to painful timidity, will pass
if not accumulated by comment and re-
proof. This is especially true in regard
to speech. Children sometimes use
slang; sometimes pick up words and
phrases which are worse than slang,
but the mother need not be unduly
alarmed because of this. The boy and
girl will speak the language and use
the dialect of home, and if the mother
possess the children's entire confidence
she will not find it difficult to convince
the children that vulgar speech is a
thing to avoid.
Mothers will never in the years to
come regret a union Of mild measures
with firm adherence to principle in the
home life. But of harsi1ness and too
much government they may repent in
dust and ashes. -Harper's Bazaar.

OUR SPANISH GUNS.
The Navy Department Belitties t"e
Ordnance We Have Captured.

Ordnance We Have Captured.
Washington, Dec. 21.-There has been
some speculation as to what disposi-
ton the navy department will make OF
the modern guns captured from Spain
during the recent war. 1t has been
generally understood that the obsolete
ordnance would figure only as souvenirs
for distribution by the government to
states and municipalities, but there
was quite number Of serviceable MOD
ern cannon, mostly naval guns cap
tured at Santiago, Manila and else
where.
It is stated by the department that
these guns are not likely to form very
valuable asset. The At inch guns from
the Maria Teresa, the Vizcaya ana the
Colon, several of which are now at the
Washington navy yard. are not the
most modern type Of this weapon
They are different in caliber from any
guns in the American navy except
those of the New Orleans and the AL
bany, now being completed abroad.
The inch quick fire guns captured
also require special ammunition, not
being adapted to our inch shells, so
that, except in case of accident to one
of the guns of the New Orleans or AL
bany, there would be small likelihood
Of getting any of the captured ord
nance into service. The question OF
boring out the captured guns to the
next higher caliber was considered, but
rejected as reducing too greatly the
factor of safety.
1t Is interesting to note that the new
guns being planned for the navy will
conform in certain material respects
to those of the New Orleans, which was
classed by all the officers who saw her
in action during the war as marvel
ously quick firing hard shooting piece
of naval architecture.

has acquitted Mr.. Frank Knaak Of New
York Of the charge of leze majesty in
referring to Emperor William as a

mitted the offense. A doctor deposed
that Mr. Knaak was a dipsomaniac
but the prosecution asked for SEN
tence of nine months imprisonment.
The court, after long deliberation, de-
cided to acquit the prisoner on the
ground that tTfe evidence raised doubt
as to whether Mr.. Knaak was in con-
dition to know what he was doing and
also in view of the fact that when he
was sober Mr.. Knaak always expressed
high esteem for Germany and Emperor

SANTIAGO DE CUBA. - Important
changes in the civil government relat-
ing to schools, police, customs and
mercantile and harbor regulations are
in process of preparation by Generals
Lawton and Wood, and a proclamation
carrying them into effect will probably
be issued in few days. The police
force is to be increased with view Of
enabling the withdrawal of the militia
from patrol duty. The changes will
aid the shipping, mercantile and in
dustrial interests. The port duties and
the salaries of many officials, civil and
ecclesiastical, will be reduced. The
salary of Archbishop Crespo, which
was formerly $4,000, will be reduced
to $4,000. The proposed changes met
with the approval of the better classes.

DEATH ON THE RAIL
Train Collides with Wagon Load or
Pleasure Seekers with Terrible Results.

Pleasure Seekers with Terrible Results.
WARE, MAss.-Five persons were
killed early Saturday evening at Whit
ing's Crossing, on the Boston and
Maine railroad, by a collision between
train and d wagon containing
pleasure party Of eleven persons.
The first intimation of the horrible
affair was brought by the train due
here at $50 o'clock, which had the
victims on board.
The bodies of the dead were left in
the baggage car of the train awaiting
the medical examiner, and the wounded
were taken to the town hall, where
the surgeons worked over them.
The pleasure party was made up OF
the Whiting family and some of their
immediate friends, of Bondville, and
they were going from their home in
Bondville to Forest Lake in covered
wagon drawn by four horses. On one
side of the crossing there is quite
steep hill running down to the tracks.
AS the wagon came over the crest of
the hill and started down toward the
railroad track the fagboy at the foot
of the hill was seen to come out of his
station to flag an approaching train.
The momentum of the vehicle on
the steep grade was so great that it
went by the fagboy and out upon the
track just as the Northampton & Ware
accommodation train came along. The
engine struck the wagon about in the
middle, tossing the occupants on all
sides, killing the horses and demo!-
ishing the vehicle. The train WAS
stopped. Five bodies were picked up
in terribly mangled condition, one,
that of the boy, being decapitated.
The latter was the sub crossing tender,
the regular fagman having been called
away and put the boy on to flag this
train.

was an explosion that caused the loss
was inferred by the Doras' crew, from
