CAR-RIDING MAKES HER SAD.
1t II because Mothers uI-Treat
Their small Boys by Pulling
Them About.

~ am always made sorry when ride
in the cars, through the shopping dis
tricts particularly" says the Chicago
Chronicle of woman, Ito see the way
mothers ill-treat small boys. 1t is an
ethical cruelty, but quite as disastrous
as physical i'll treatment might be, il
seems to me. l see poor little fellows
OF seven and eight, nice little men, who
would be manly il they were allowed
to be, pulled around in the cars, out of
the cars, pushed into that seat and out
OF it into another as IL they were so
many little dummies.
They usually are very nearly that
for seven or eight years of such push
ing and pulling are enough TO take
all the spirit out of small boy I'M
less he has unusual yigor of characi er.
\ boy of that age ought to be begin
ming to look out for his mother and
finding seats for her. Occasionally a
sensible mother, who treats her boy like
a human being, is to be found, and il is
a pleasure to see the two together. The
boy who is dragged around like a little
muff during the early part of his life
is apt to come to himself after time
If he is not entirely ruined and then
he goes to an opposite extreme, is rude
and self-asserting while he is trying
to establish an equilibrium, and the
mother can't imagine what the trouble
is"

HONOR DUE TO CANADA.
The First Vessel TO Cross the Ocean
by Steam Power Sailed
from Quebec.

An interesting but little known bit OF
history in connection with early steam
navigation on the ocean was brought
to public attention in the recent address
of the venerable llivas Tully on his
election 10 the presidency of the re-
Gently organized Engineers club of To-
ronto, says the Engineering News.
This was TO the effect that to the
province of Quebec belongs the credit
of having built the first steamship that
crossed the Atlantic from either side.
The steamship was called the Royal
William, commanded by Capt. MeDou-
gall, and sailed from Quebec on August
5, 1888, arriving at Grayesend on Sep
TENDER II, having steamed the whole
distance.
This seems at first sight TO contradict
the well-known claims TO priority made
for the Savannah as the first steamship
TO cross the Atlantic. The Savannah.

There is no better medicine for the
babies than Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. Its pleasant taste and prompt
and effectual cures make it favorite
with mothers and small children. 1t
quickly cures their coughs and colds,
preventing pneumonia or other seri-
Gus consequences. 1t also cures Group
and has been used in tens of thousands
of cases without single failure-so far
as we have been able to learn. 1t not
only cures Group, but when given as
soon as the croupy cough appears, will
prevent the attack. In cases of whoop-
ing cough it liquefies the tough mucus,
making it easier to expectorate, and
lessons the severity and frequency of
the paroxysms of coughing, thus de-
priving that disease of all dangerous
consequences. For sale by P. &. Wilder

STRICTLY DEFINITIvE-
A Small Girl Gives Two Apt Illus
tratiOns of the Meanings
of Words.

Mrs May Wright Sewall, the new
president of the international Council
of Women, became generally known a
few years ago through her partieipa-
ton in the general federation of wom-
ems clubs. which resulted in the inter
national council, says the Philadelphia
Post. She has frequently represented
American women abroad and has long
been a prominent figure in the impor-
tant national conventions.
Mrs. Sewall, who is the head of a
classical school for girls in Indianapo-
lis, could contribute readable sequel
to English as she is taught, for the
not above the amusing blunders which
characterize the efforts of their young
sisters in the public schools.
On one occasion Mrs. Sewall was in
structing class in physics. Force was
the subject and she made plain TO the
girls the difference between the cen
trifugal and centripetal force.
Centrifugal" said Mrs. Sewall, us a
force whose direction is from the cen
ter and centripetal is a force whose di-
rection is toward the center. Do you
all understand that?"
The class chorused assent.
"Now. will some girl give me an illus
tration?" continued Mrs. Sewall
THE domestic virtues are centrip-
etal," replied small girl. because
they keep man in the center of his
home and centrifugal force isis
well, saloon is centrifugal force"

"There is" says traveller, "a stock saying which they have at Queens town, Ireland. It is there the steamers pick up the mails, which can leave London 12 hours later than the boats do Liverpool and overtake them there. Frequently, however, delays occur, and then the passengers kill time by going ashore, and the native Is always in wait to sell them shillalahs and other things, such as bog oak jewelry, canes, etc., which are supposedly indigenous to and characteristic of Ireland.
 some of the shillalahs are wonder full and awful to look upon and have no possible place in real life, their only object being to take in the unwary transatlantic traveller.

Speaking of the old Court House yes

Commissioners, said that they had not
made up their minds as yet on plan
to get the building out of the way.
They will meet again next week and
the matter will again be discussed.
The material, etc., in the walls of the
building is worth considerable money
and the Board hopes to get something
out of the sale for the county. They
were offered several months ago the
sum of $1,000 for the structure, the
buyer to move 1t away, but they were
not in a position to make the sale at
that time.
