Pray More and Whip Less.

The venerable r. l.. Dabney, d. d. ,
is well known in this country and
abroad. Upward OF twenty years age
his youngest son. Lewis, was a sharp
witted lad who promised to become
respected "chip Of the old block. "
The lad was whipped one day for an
act of disobedience, and then had TO
undergo the more trying ordeal OF sit
ting quietly ON the sofa. He became
deeply absorbed in thought and pres
emily asked;
MA, why did you whip me?'
$50 as to make better boy OF you,
was the response.
Lewis again became lost in thought
full reflection. Presently he blurted
out:
Ma, do you believe in prayer
Eyes my son.
IF you were to ak God to make me
better boy, do you think he would
grant your paryer?"
Il think he would, sol"
well. then, ma, wish you would
pray a little more and whip little
less -

The Galveston News says that the

seem to be the principal scourge Of
Philippine life, are largely bred in the

SPECTATORS SNOOZE.
Witnesses in the Celebrated Dreyfus Case Testify Amid n Perfect
 Chorus of Shores.

Among the curious features of the Dreyfus trial there is one that is quite unique and which never fails 10 sur prise and amUSc the casual spectator, says t!le \e,y York sun. Whenever there is Il ipN linutes' Iull on account of inaHdiGic or unintcresting testimany the audience promptly goes to sleep, and it frequently happens that wit ness tcsiines amid q chorus of snores. Ii haplcned few days ago that two journalists of international rep!tation, while enjoying a quiet nap. dropped their heavy canes with d great crash on the floor. The audience awoke startled, some jumping to their feet, thinking in their dazed condition that some outrage had been attempted. Since then the gendarmes have care fully gathered up all sticks and um- brellas. partly, of course. to prevent their use as weapons in case of d re- newtd outbreak of passion similar to that which occurred recently.
 The explanation of this peculiarity of the Rennes courtmartial is the fact that nine-tenths of the audience is composed of correspondents, whose duties keep them abroad until one o'clock ill the morning. They are obliged to rise again at five, and it really requires an unbroken series of exciting incidents in the court to en- able them to resist the overpowerng sleepiness which seizes them when in terest flags.

and there are even pertumed bonDons, while n tiny rouge pencil for the lips is violet scented.
 From the walls of woanan's ward- robe hang ,ufted pads breathing blos- som whitfs of violets. and every least nook for feminine finery holds sug- ges,ion of violet fragrance. Tiny sachet bags are tackled here and there in the trocks, perfumed flannel goes in strips into the tailormade gowns ard in hat Things. while violet tablets are tucked into Ascot ties and the glove palm and loosely thrown into coat pockets.
 Real violets are favored for the cor sage. and later will be seen on mutfs and boas.

PRIZES FOR KEEPING CLEAN.
The VuiuNe Scheme of . Benevolent English Squire Falls to Receive
 EncOuraKement.

The scheme of CumD; rland squire, W. l.. Alexander. of LOT, on, England, for encouraging habits of cleanliness among occupiers of cottages in Cocker mouth, has been abandoned, after a l2 months trial, says London paper.
 Mr. Alexander lately gave formal no- tice of the failure of his scheme to the Coekermouth urban council. The scheme was carried out for period of six months, with the result that l3 of the competitors received prizes. It was then decided to continue the work for another year, to increase the amount of prize to l0s., providing not less than five applications were sent in, and to reduce the rent qualification to 2s d week, to include only the very poor est classes.
 But as the number was not nearly reached, the "Society for the Promo lion of Cleanliness" has been dissolved Mr. Alexander thinks the scheme failed because the women did not care to have their domestic arrangements laid open to the eyes of the lady visitors and because the husbands felt az grie,ed that it should be thought nee tssary to pay their wives for doing that which they ought to be proud to do without needing such prompting.
 This healthy and independent char ,cteristic of the Cumbran is, Mir. Alex ander says, to be Encouraged and re- spected. Although disappointed at the result of his experiment, the Lorton squire thinks that it was been indirect of good in Cockermouth.

How n Shrewd ScOtchman in Aus- tralia Made a Comfortable
 Pile of Money.

One of ChicagO's globe trotters spent whither he has lately returned He is naturally full of his travels and when asked by d friend 10 describe Melbourne he said that the two features of the place he best remembered are Coles Book arcade and Hosie's Scotch pie shop, which are almost neXt-door neighhors in Bourke street. He de- clared that to have been in Australia and to not be able to talk about them is to exhibit woeful deficiency in the art of conversation. As ii to prove that he is net thus deficient. he proceeded to give a somewhat particular account of the two men. Cole and Hosie, and their enterprises respectively.
 "Colr is alive and well" he said. but Hosie has iust died at the ,,re of 6s An energetic young Scotcht#an with only T few dollars in the way oi capital he landed in Mclbourn" in he earlN '50s gih started little Scotch rip sa.

The Telling of Twelve Giant POplars Creates Something of
 Sensation.

The cutting down of the row of 12 giant poplars on Forty-eighth.street, as told in the Chicago Inter Ocean recent- ly, created q veritable sensation. The trees stood in the middle of the street, in the block between Grand boulevard and Calumet avenue. and were felled so that the street might be paved. It was big job, and workmen are still busy saving up the huge trunks. Everybody stopped and stared with all their eyes. There was almost as great d variety of comment as of spectators. While some were merely curious. the majority seemed to become possessed very quick ly hy sort of "Woodman-s spare-that- tree emotion" hose "ho approved of the work were a very small minority. One man was heard to say:
 "That's good; now they can fix up that block sos it'll look like some thing"
 "l'm glad of it." said one petty soul in the shape of a woman; i've always wanted to ride my bicycle through that old mudhuIc of d street.
 But. as a rule. the women shook their
 
 heads and looked sentimental over the downfall of the ha,f-century gian,s. Sometimes they added: What q shame to cut down those beautiful trees, or "What can those men be thinking of??' The men used harsher language. One man stopped. looked on moment in disgust and remarked so that every one. including the foreman, could hear him:
 If l owned property in this block you fellows would be looking into the mouth of q shotgun.
 While the last tree was being felled a quiet old gentleman. who seemed too meek and gentle to say "Shoo.' to q fly, walked straight up to the foreman, looked kim in the eye. and, with infinite contempt. said. firmly:
 "Save the last one to hang your self on."
