THE CHfLD'S MIND.
Let Him Look Into Every Phase of In.
 dustriaI Life.


 Expand the chflds mind by showing from time to time scenes from all sides of life. Take him today to studios and let him see how pictures are made: next week to silk factories, to learn the poetry of labor, and afterward to a brick yard and an iron foundry, not forgetting the claims of great churches and monuments upon an elevating edu- cation. The attenuation of city and country is delightful stimulant. When .ravel is possible we should give the child glimpses of mountains and sights Of the sea, and let him become &C., guainted with mountaineers and fisher men, even as he ought in town to know something of the ways and thoughts of the workmen, so that he may come to feel sympathy with all sorts of people and understand the merit of labor. Experience of this kind Is worth far more than theoriz- ing in school books. It Is not particu- iarly interesting to a child to read that he should be grateful to all the people who supply him with his daily com fortse-to the. farmer, the baker. the manufacturer and the builder But when he sees how grain grows and is converted into flour; how furniture is wrought from blocks of wood and thread woven into cloth. the whole history of the objects about him is re- yealed. The different parts of life be come connected and he gets a sense of the thread of harmony that runs through it all. And he has a moment of satisfaction, coming through a feeling of kinship with the world, which is more useful than gratitude upon general principles.-Florenc Hull Winterburn in the Woman's Home Companion.

CONSUMPTION OF ALMONDS
Twenty-one Million Pounds Eaten in tho
 United States Each Year.

United States Each Year.
 There are, reasIiy speaking, 21, ,o0o,- 900 pounds of almonds consumed in the United States each year, some eaten with raisins, some used i.3 the manu- faeture of candy, some ground for cream and favoring extracts, and some, of an inferior quality, used for perfumery and soap. The state of Cal ifornia produces about 14,000 GOO pounds of almonds in year, or two- thirds of the amount required for do- nestle consumption, and the other all monds are imported from European countries, from which, until a few years ago, all the almonds were sent The figures of almond importations for the fiscal year 1898 show importations of about 100000 pounds. Of this amount 4,500,0 GOO came from Spain, 100000 from Italy, chiefly Sicily, and the balance from Greece and Portugal Cocoanuts to the value of about S600,- GOO year are imported into the Unitd States from foreign countries or from countries which were under foreign dk luG l1llS C4 L41S ldSt eAA nual treasury report. Before the be- ginning of the Cuban war for inde- pendence the Importation of cocoanuts from Cuba into the United States was to the value of about s200,000 year. With the beginning of the war it de- clined, and under the present tariff the duty on cecoannts further reduced the importation from Cuba, though large increase in the shipments of cocoanuts Is expected this year under American jurisdiction in Cuba and Porto Rico. The competition of American with for eign cocoanuts, the latter from the West Indies and South American states, has been more active than in the case of almonds. for the reason that the chief source of supply of American cocoanuts is Florida, which is in closer proximity to the New York market. The annual report of Florida ooeoannfs amounts to about l,O00, ,00O pounds, of the value of about $500, ,o00 a year, and the conditions as to al. nonds and cocoanuts are in this par tieular reversed California produces just twice as many almonds as are im@ ported into the United States, whereas Florida produces just ene-half as many cocoanuts as are mported.-Boston Transcript.

Fearfu. Encounter wftA RattIesnake.
 Miss Evaline Quick of Lackawaxen, Pike county, Pa, had fearful eneoun. ter with monster rattlesnake at her home near the village. She was lying in a hammock on the lawn reading t book when rustling among the leaves aroused her, and she was terror strick en to see crouching and ready to spring, huge rattlesnake. Ere she could call assistance the reptile had bounded into the hammock and fast- ened it's fangs in the folds of her skirt. With shriek Miss Quick sprang from the hammock, when the snake loosened It's hold. Securing a club. the young lady returned and killed the snake, which was nearly five feet in length and had eleven rattles.

WOLCOIT BEATS CHOYNSk|
CALIFORNIAN WAS COMPLETELY
OUTCLAssED.
His superior Height and Reach Did
Not Avail Him Against the clever
Barbadoes Negro. Who Punished
Him severely All Through.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Joe Wolcott, the
Barbados negro. received the decision
over Joe Choynski, of California, in the
seventh round OF what was TO have been
a twenty-five-round bout before the
Broadway Athletic Club tonight. Choyn-
ski was practically outclassed and re-
ceived very severe punishment
All through the fight Wolcott was on
the aggressive. He rushed Choyniski.
sending his right to the stomach and left
TO head at will. In the first round Choyn-
ski was hoored five times. The first
time he measured his length on the can
vas floor he was hit with right under
vicinity OF the solar plexus put him down
a second; right cross on the Jaw was
the cause OF his third fall, and a left on
the Jaw put him down for the fourth
time. Wolcott was very nimble on his
feet and danced around while Choynski
was regainng his feet. Choynski came
up very groggy after his fourth knock
down, only 10 go down again from
right on the point Of the chin, which sent
him fiat on his stomach on the floor of
the ring. 1t looked as II Choynski was
out for good, but three seconds after he
went down the bell rang and he was
helped TO his corner
Wolcott forced the fighting in the sec
ond. sending his right to the body and
landed hard left on the jaw. Choynsh
replied with stinging right to head,
which staggered Wolcott to the ropes.
This round was fairly cleverly fought,
but Choynski, with his superior height
and reach. failed to land another good
blow, as Wolcott was always able to
dodge every lead or return made by the
big Californian.
They rushed to a clinch in the third.
after which Wolcott jabbed his left to
the face and swung the same hand hard
to the body. Choynski tried left and
right for head but Wolcott got inside.
and in the clinch which followed sent his
right hard over the kidneys.
In the fourth ChoynsN managed to
land couple of hard right handlers on
the body, but the negro sent back lefts
and rights on the body and face, doing
particular damage with his left on the
side OF the head. The NTH round was
all in Wolcotts favor and in the sixth
he cut choynshs right eye with left
hand swing.
The Californian was groggy when he
came up for the seventh round. and after
he received right on the wind and two
lefts on the face he staggered In an evil
IDENTIFY helpless manner. Wolcott then
landed left and right on the jaw. forcing
Choyski to the floor. and when the latter
regained his feet wocott rushed him,
but was stopped by the referee. Johnny
White. who declared Wolcott the winner
White said afterward that he felt that
another blow would have put Choynski
out

Trying to Catch the Co1ored Vote.

Trying to Catch the CoIore1 Vote.
1t Is now stated that Mr. Bryan will
soon come out in opposition to the pol
Icy Of disfranchisement at the south
and pose as the special friend Of the
colored man. In this way the Demo-
Gratis, it is said, will try to catch q
large part Of the colored vote. If there
is anything more ridiculous and pre-
sumptuous in American politics than
this, what is it? The Democratic party
and the colored race are absolutely in
compatible. A colored Democrat is q
contradiction in terms. To be sure,
there are some colored Democrats, but
the idea Of the Democrats winning
any considerable portion Of the COL
ored vote is positively impudent in it's
absurdity. The colored voters can see
through the trick easily enough. The
west Virginia colored men have al
ready shown that they understand the
situation. They have issued an appeal
TO their brothers, and have sent it far
and wide, to stand together In this
crisis of their destiny and rally to the
support of the only party which is
friendly to them. The appeal charac-
ferizes the new disfranchisement mol,
