PAULA's DREAM.

Golfers Weekly: Suddenly to Paula's
rostrils was waited, not the odor of the
fruit nor the aroma of the spice. but the
sickly scent that steals from the white
flowers which are placed on the
covers of the dead.
''OWche!" Shuddered Paula. "Notta
since Tessie have died have 1 smella the
like"
From the direction where, motionless
and heat-Whitened glared the gulf, he
saw approaching a funeral. Like a trail
of black blood, toward him, inch by inch,
slowly it crawled. The plumes on the
hearse were like furled blue black ravens
And the methodic beat On the ground Of
the horses hoof thudded like the tramp,
tramp of a regiment marching even into
the valley of death.
81 lika it not" muttered Paula.
The parrakeets' chatter ceased; croak-
ing filled the air. No longer sunlight
burned and cracked the street; on it lay
shadow thick like plush, but black and
lusterless as Grape.

Before his door passed and repassed the

Paula. II getta square with the Lord bya

Finally the holy father paused. Sadly
he asked: Have you no time to spare
from the selling Of fruit and the counting
of money. Paula, to come to your daugh-
ter's funeral?"
Mamma dead!" Life seemed to ebb from
Paula. In anguish, tossing his arms. he
sprang to his feet. He struck his head
against something which gave way and
fell with soft peltings and sounds like the
squashings of ripe fruit.
Naughty. clumsy, great one!" ex-
claimed a saucy,. scolding voice. "He
grows so rich he can waste his fruit. He

Paula stood rubbing his eyes, gazing
upon the sunny spoil of bananas at his
feet. and at Mamma, who. schOolbooks
under her arm, came toward him from the
bright, lively street.
1T wasa the dream" he thought. He
pinched Nanna's round cheeks and
smiled. But, besides honesty, Paula prid-
ed himself on possessing cleverness. So

now WARS ARE CAUSED.

It Is held by the Army and Navy
Journal that civilians. not military men,
bring on wars. The forces which set a
people aflame with the craze for war
are commercial greed, missionary zeal,
envy, demagogic boasting and a desire
to gain certain advantages. 1.-The civil
! war;" says the Journal, was provoked
by the pllilanthropists, the reformers and
and it was the constant harping by men
of like character upon the horrors of the
Spanish rule that brought on the war
with Spain. 1t is the very class who have
the most to say of the horrors OF war
and the evils of military esta blishments
who do the most to cultivate the state
of mind which lead to war" =,
These observations by the Journal may
possess some little truth. but there is
much error mixed up with it. Wars may
be provoked by civilians. out not, alto
gether, through the motives ascribed to
them. Civilians are the people at large,
as distinguished from the military. They
are. as a rule. honorable men, patriotic
men, generous men, intelligent men, de-
sirous of seeing justice done to all. To
contend otherwise would do the people
wrong. They may. at times. be mis-
taken. the head not the heart may be at
fault, but the people may be depended
upon to see that wrongs are righted. and
that the innocent shall not suffer.
A half century ago it was a common
saying, among the masses. that the rulers
of nations delighted in wars, that they
found them a means of serving their
personal ambitions, or to satisfy their
greed for honors or gold. But times have
changed. The people control the rulers,
and rulers seek to avert war by diplo-
matte means as long as possible. Some
times they fail, but no wars are precipi-
tated nowadays unless public sentiment
is behind them and endorses the decision
of the war-making power. The ruler and
the people nov work together in har-
mony. If they cannot so work. one must
fall and give place to the other. Fire
and water cannot fill the same place.

New York Tribune: Both the Ehslish
and the French manufacturers now real
ize that the United States is far ahead of
them in speed in building locomotives.
The steamship Nutfield, of the Lamport
& Holt line, sailed an Thursday last for
Liverpool with 20 American made locomo-
tives as part of her cargo. They will be
used for hauling freight trains on the
Midland road i'm England. 1t took the
American makers less than half the time
the English builders required to make
the engines, and it therefore pays English
railroads to place their orders in this
country. They are in every way the
equal of the best English locomotives.
The order for these locomotives was di-
vided equally between the Schenectady
and the Baldwin Locomotive works. The
engines built by the former weigh so tons,
while those of the Baldwin weigh 60
tons. They will be set up in Manchester.
and then sent to Derby. The locomotives
are smaller than those used in this coun-
try, as there are neither such heavy
grades nor as many curves In England
as in this country. The parts were boxed
and stored away aft in the hold of the
big iron steamship. The heaviest pieces
weigh 1920 pounds.
How do we come to get the orders?
repeated Mr.. Hunter. "Simply because
we turn out locomotives in a far shorter

DISCIPLINE IN REFORMATORIES.

A story comes from the New Jersey
reformatory for girls that one Of the in
mates was recently so severely punished
that she had to be sent to a hospital to be
treated for her injuries. The defenders
Of the management have endeavored to
show that this class of prisoners can be
kept in order only by the strictest kind
of discipline. and that the punishments
melted out to the inmates of the reforma-
tory were justified by the desperate char
acter of the offenders.
New Jersey girls must be fearfully and
wonderfully made if they must be
knocked down and dragged around a
room three or four times by the hair Of
their heads. or busted with a blacksnake.
or undergo old-time inquisitorial torture
to make them obedient. But no one
girls whose rearing was not conducive to
proper behavior, but whose hearts are
susceptible TO kind treatment. No
one will endorse the action of the New
Jersey ~refornatory management, and
public sentiment will not accept its plea.
The day has long since passed when
brutal and barbarous methods to subdue
refractory boys and girls. or men and
women, will be tolerated among civilized
beings Such n,afhn6S halnnr 70 tba ola
regime of prison management. whose
shameful cruelties We're held up to public
Indignation long ago, and were supposed
to be abandoned. Considerable, kim treat
ment better performs the duties of the
disciplinarian. There is not one in a
thousand girls whose hearts cannot be
touched and softened by kindness, and
not one in a hundred boys who cannot be
made better by the same treatment. 1t
is the soft answer that turneth away
wrath.
1t is a mistake to suppose that most
anyone can successfully manage a re-
form school. Mistakes are being made in
them, in the treatment of inmates, nearly
every day. which the public never learns.
In some the discipline is too severe, in
others too lax. A case in the latter class
came to light not long ago. A nice old
gentleman who thought that the most
abandoned types of humanity could be
governed by kindness was in charge of
a New York house of refuge for women.
He thought he would try an experiment
with the inmates, so he announced to
them one day that they would be treated
as "Vassar ladies'" The women had
heard something about Vassar college
girls, and supposed that being treated as
Nassar ladies meant they We're to have
all the license and liberty they desired.
The experiment proved a dismal failure.
There was not room enough in the build.
ing to hold all the "refractory'' women
girls sent there, and the noise and
disorder created was almost unbearable.
They played the "Vassar ladies' until
they played themselves into a clearer
comprehension Of kind discipline, and
now it is said they have a somewhat bet
ter understanding of the obligations of
higher college education. Enough, how
ever, has been learned Of late years that
successful management in prisons or re-
form schools requires special qualifica-
lions of a high order, and that any "old
thing" will not supply the want.
