Rcspect Your Children's Tastes.

If a child shows marked distaste
for any particular kind of food, it is
wrong to force it to eat that kind.
Firstly, such enforced obedience Great
es i'll feeling ; secondly, food which is
disaSreeable is likely to cause indlges-
ton and thirdly, there may be some
organic idiosyDcrasy which renders
that food obnoxious to the system.
There is a case on record of man on
whom mutton seemed to act as kind
of irritant poison, and similar cases
are not very rare. On the other hand.
ia child has a strong desire for any
kind of food it is unwise to deny it
unless you can show very good rea-
son for so doing, when you should tell
the child that reason as simply as
possible ; as, for instance, "No, dear,
that will give you a pain inyour stom-
ach, or make you sick" Never be
misled into saying:
"Such things are not good for little
boys and girls" for children do not
see why grOwn-up people should have
the good things which they are forbid
den to enjoy. If however, you give a
reason which at once appeals to their
own experience Of the order of nature
they are ready to recognize it as a
sound one.

How to Cure Diptheria.

Take equal quantities of powdered
borax and burned alum, powdered
fine. Put the mixture in goose quill
or a roll of writing paper and blow it
down the throat Of the patient.
Spread flannel cloth well CREASED
with goose grease, sprinkle with pow.
dered gum of camphor and put around
the throat. Turkey, duck'or chicken
oil will answer. although goose oil is
considered best. Spirits of camphol
must not be used. The burned alum
eats out the proud flesh and the boraS
heals. Theloutside application loosens
up the membranes and prevents tax
ing cold.

I.eBving No sting.

Our manner of doing q thing often
counts for more than the thing itself.
Some people have the gift of doing a
gracious thing ungraciously. They
seem to think it of small moment how
trey act, if they do the right thing.
Their gifts are felt like blow. Others
refuse with kindness that falls like
balm. The Italian who is asked for
aims, unable to help, replies, "Pardon
me, | also am a poor devil" That
leaves no hurt, while the open hand
Of some others inflicts sting. "God
cares more for adverbs than for verbs u
says an old writer. Do the right
thing but do it rightly, courteously,
sympathetically.

How TO Transfer Bees.

Bees never attack when their stom-
achs are filled with honey or other
liuuid sweets. This ia their normal
condition when swarmiDg, and, there
fore, are then harmless, and also when
returning laden to their hives. Meth
er do they attack when thoroughly
frightened. We frighten bees by
blowing smoke among them or by rap
ping rather violently on their hives.
When bees arc alarmed in their hives
by smoke or concussion, their first i'm
pulse is to fill their honey bags from
their combs.

TELL Us WIZ.

Mr.. Towne. IN his speech Saturday
night. said that the United States be-
gan the War with Spain TO- the pur-
pose OF freeing Cuba from her tyran-
nical rule. Congress had made the
solemn declaration that the people Of
Cuba should be free and indepen-
dent. At the time that declaration
was mede 10 oue took into copsidera-
tion the Philippine islands or foresaw
the complications that arose from
Devey's victory. or a declaration sim-
liar to thzi made to the CubaDs
would have been made to the Fiji
pinoe. That Dewey struck at and
destroyed SPANS power in the Phil
ipptnes and should have sailed away
when he destroyed the Spanish feet.
This would have saved the United
States millions OF treasure and thous-
ands OF precious lives. He asked
whyDeEeyioould not have sailed away
from Manila as Schley did after de-
stroyng Cerrsra's feet at Santiago.
viii some good Republican eIPan-
zionist give US a reason other than
that the United States by solemn act
Of Congress had guaranteed the Cub
independence and had said moth.
ing about the Fiipinos: Like the
Cubans they were lighting against
the tyranny Of SPAN, but were not
taken into account =hen war was de-
clared. The VISION OF our statesmen
did not extend 1900 miles beyond
our shores and take in these brown
men fighting for liberty. Had it
done s. the people OF the United
States would now be at peace With
the FiEpinos. Instead OF ships car
ry1ng men and munitions OF war
across 1000 miles OF ocean to subiu-
gate a people lighting for the night Of
sell government, there would be ships
carrying the products OF this country
across the ocean to be exchanged for
products OF the Philippines. Had
not the Unsuitable greed Of empire
fastened itself upon the administra-
ton, tie people OF the United States
would be trading with the Filipiuos
today instead OF killing them.
A live Filipino is worth more to
American trade and commerce than a
million who have succumbed TO Nc
kinley's policy o: benevolent asEim.
ilaton-- 4 government cannot build
up its commerce by killing its custo
mers any more than a merchant can
build up his business by killing those
who trade with him.
