CHILDREN AND CASH.
ShOnid Boys and Girls In schsoI Have
Spending Money,

From the san Francisco Examiner
An investigation which by many will be
regarded as singular was conducted re-
Gently in the Cleveland School Of St Paul.
Ii had for its purpose TO determine in gen
eral the notion which children have OF
the practical uses Of money.
A list of questions was furnished by
Prof. AshCraft. which the children an
swered In writing. As In an ordinary pN-
animation. The questions sought to de-
termine the child's estimate OF money
which he had acquired I'm three different
ways. namely, by gift. suggesting partial
restraint as to spending: by earning. th,
most difficult means OF acquiring. and by
finding by which he acquired with least
difficulty. To these ends the following
questions were asked:
II you are given money. about hoW
much each week."
IF you earn money, about how much
each week."
What do You do with wOur money!
If you ever found money. what did yOu
do with it?''
IF you had 81 to spend as you liked.
what would you buy?'
1t was found that OF the 1853 children
reporting, 62 per cent earned. or were
given money. or both In amounts ranging
from cents TO s. per week. OF those
VINO thus received money 1I per cent.
made useful disposition Of il. and Of the
Z56 children who had found money 28 per
cent. put IL TO useful purposes. note
worthy Characteristic of the answers -
the question relative TO finding money
was that 81 per cent of those who had
done so expressed having made attempt
to restore ii to the loser, and that s. per
cent of those who had not found money
stated that il they should do 80 they
would TRY 10 find the OWneT.' OF put I'm
the paper If a large amount. OF give II
to the principal or teacher to be restored
TO the owner Prof. Ashcraft regards this
as Indicating the honesty of children ia
general and as furnishing a point for ex
plantations by the materialists. who look
upon the child a. little savage and upon
boyhood and girlhOod as period OF low
moral tendencies.
OF the 967 children who gave specific an
swcrs as to what they would do with "A
dollar IL allowed 10 spend II as they
pleased. 81 per cent. would invest IL I'm
useful things. such as clothing and books:
20 per cent would buy articles not useful.
3 per cent. would use a. for benevolent
such as relieving the poor. and
> per. cent. would buy presents for their

participation in the assassination OF Lord
Frederick Cavendish. chief secretary to
the Lord Lieutenant Of Ireland, under the
oiadstone administration, and of Under
secretary Burke, recalls in all its vivid
dtrocity the most cold-blooded murders
ever committed in the name Of patriotism.
The poinard that entered the heart of the
anliable nobleman, sent over to ireland
because Of his pronounced sympathy with
the irish people in their struggle for home
rule, also stabbed to death the cause
which Parnell had almost brought to the
threshold Of success.
The writer was temporarily sojourning
IN Dublin, when the assassination occur
red, and distinctly remembers the horror
and at first incredUlity, with which the
news was received by all classes of the
irish metropolis.
The tragedy was so unexpected. so IN
looked for, in view of Lord Frederick's 5
sympathy with Irish autonomy, that many
of the home rule leaders. in the first flush
of their excitement, wildly charged the
Loyalists with the crime as a desperate
of the day from granting an Irish pariia-
ment. And, indeed, 10 more effective plan
could have been devised than this out

arouse all England against Mr. Glad

The two men, Fitzharris and Mullett.
who escaped the scaffold on which their
fellow-conspirators died, were not actual
participatOrs in the act itself: that is.
their hards did not drive the daggers into
the breasts of the murdered men. But they
were privy To the proposed assassination

tim, by the way, marked out for slaughter.
