ADMONiSHfNG CHILDREN.

Reproof and Advice Must he Sugar
Coated to BE III decided.
The universal frailty of our human
nature which dislikes TO be told Of
faults must be taken into consideration
when we converse with our grown-up
children" writes Kate Epson Clark in
the Woman's Home Companion. After
they pass the age of fourteen or fifteen
they usually betray a greater sensitive
ness than before 10 even reasonable
ult-fnding. BY the time they reach
eighteen or twenty this tendency has
become marked trait. They have
then become substantially like the rest
of us. Even from the lips of loving
fathers or mothers and in strict pri-
vacy they want nothing but the same
sort of honey on which cur own souls
love to feed. They wish no allusion
made TO the facts that they are acquir-
ing nasal tones; that their gait is awk-
ward; that their taste In dress is un-
formed and even bad; that they have
not good Judgment in choosing asso-
ciates, and so on. Private discourses
upon the wiles of the world and the
weakness Of youth and its proneness to
wander they wish none of. Whatever
medicine of that sort is to be given
must be administered in small doses,
interjected with skill into converse tons
upon ordinary matters, and sugar
coated, if possible, with artfrl compli-
ment. though it should be always de-
served. Even the best and dearest of
our carefully brOught-up young people
are likely to have their year or more of
obstinacy and pig headedness,' or their
permanent streaks of unreasonableness
and contumacy. Therefore, they would
better receive most OF the telling
strokes that mold into shape before
they reach the age of fourteen. From
that time up to the age of what is called
discretion which does not arrive with
most of us before twenty-five Qf them,

really not much superior to what he
was at from seven to fifteen, but he

Business Girls.

readers may be one. Indeed, if she
helps to carry out her daily duties sue
cessfully she must do her utmost to
become a business girl in my sense
of the word. And when. in course of

she will be at no loss in taking up her

She will win the respect of those in her
employ by showing them that she I'M
derstands how she should be served.

required, no extravaganza will be al

love for her to increase by showing
him how truly his interest is hers by
bringing into play her knowledge of

make home uncomfortable by mean,
unnecessary savings is no real econ

how to make every dollar yield its true
value is housekeeping in its best sense.

The present prominence of the Trans
vaal from a political aspect makes
everything connected with that region
of special interest The country, though
it has only in comparatively recent
times attracted the attention of our
present civilization, has had a past, a
very remote past, civilization Of which
all records and even traditions have
disappeared, but which has left it's
mark on the landscape in the shape of
a number of stone ruins of peculiar
structure, the purpose and probable
history of which is now puzzling

These buildings are scattered over

and Matabeleland. from its mountain

only ornamentation consists In placing
some of the stones at an acute angle

so as to produce herrlng-bone pattern.
The group of ruins which have at
tracted the most attention are situated
seventeen miles from Fort Victoria, in
southern Mashonaland. They are
known by the name of the Great Zim-
babnye. This Bantu word is said to
denote a stone building. but has often
been used to describe the residence of
a great chief. 1t is a common noun
and not the name of any particular
place. 1t has, however, been applied
by Europeans to these ruins, which
consist of two buildings, one on the top
of hill, the other in a valley.

very remote time this region was visit

were much more civilized than the

LIFE ON ST. HELENA.
LITTLE ISLAND WHERE NAPO-
LEON BONAPARTE DIED.
lite Inhabitants at the Present. Day
Are Happy and Contented, and Crime
Is Almost Unknown on the Island
Industries OF the People.

Few people ever think of st. Helena
except as a rock in the sea on which
Napoleon lived while miserably and
then more miserably died. That the
greatest of anti-climaXes was not the
end of the little islands history is hard
to realize, possibly because a poet or
romancer would have made it the end,
and a continuation is therefore more or
less unna tural anG absurd. Be that as
it may, st. Helena has remained the
abiding place of ordinary human beings
who concern themselves very little
about the colossal ghost generally sup
posed to be the islands only inhabit-
ant and the report to the English gov
eminent just made by their governor
shows that they have joys and sorrows
exactly like those of the folks dwell
ing in places less tragically famous.
For instance, the revenues of the island
last year were 20, l52, decidedly COM
Portable sum. but alasl the eXpendi-
lures amounted to f12.349 and that is
an excess of outgo not comfortable at
all The governor says, however, that
the bad balance was due TO some extra
ordinary drains upon the islands re-
sources and that he anticipates a sub
stantal surplus for the current year.
A recent increase of the garrison and
extensive Improvements now making
by the colonial and imperial authori-
ties assure the immediate prosperity of
the islanders.
st. Helena has no public debt, but Is
paying off by small annual install
ments a misunderstanding grant OF
$4,000 made by Parliament in 1871
The imports, chiefly foodstuffs and
building materials, amounted last year
to E62, $50. and the exports, almost
wholly potatoes. to f4,391. Lacemak
Ing has been introduced among the girls
of the island with great success. and
the Governor is experimenting with the
manufacture of brick and tile. The
whslers have now entirely deserted st
Helena. the few ships engaged in thai
industry keeping far to the north oil

island is 4.543.

and the language is spoken with great
err purity than in many districts a
