TEACHING PERSISTENCE.
Even Mere Babes Can BE Encouraged IL
the Habit of Trying Again.

Few little children, of course, volun-
CARLY set themselves to overcome diff
ficulties, yet more would do so If par
ents and nurses were not in the habit
OF catering to that f1ightiness charac-
teristic of all young things, which
leads them to follow up whatever mo-
mentarily attracts their attention. The
capacity to dwell for long time on
one thought involves both intensity
of desire and innate ambition to reach
right results. l have seen this strug-
gle for perfection in an incipient form
show itself in a little child but Is
months old. And how sincerely
respected that little one. He was sit
ting in his mothers lap beside the IL
brary table one evening, when in an
idle mood she took up a penny and set
it on the head of a small gilt image
three or four inches high and with
head scarcely larger than the head OF
the coin. Seeing that the baby watch
ed her. she said playfully: Baby can't
sparkled with a'ittok That seemed fd7
say, ooh, can't II" And taking the
ance it as she had done. 1t fell. Oh"
said the baby. quietly, and picking it
UP tried again, with the same result.
without the least sign of discourage
ment of Impotence the little thing
tried over and over again for scoreof
times, until at last he succeeded in
balancing the coin on the head of the
image. The brave baby! We gave him
a round of applause, and he looked
from one to the other of us with curl
Gus little glance of satisfaction. The
next day he could not be prevailed
upon to undertake the same feat again
Once having demonstrated that ne
could do it the act lost its interest.
Here was tiny hero in want of diff
fculties to conquer; an infant Newton,
eXcelling in the ability to concentrate
his whole mind upon a single object
SO long as it was necessary for that
| object to engross his attention.-Wom-

To Preserve Fish.

Everything that appertains to the
preservation of food products in
pure and uncontaminated state is
of very great advantage to the world
at large. Within the past few years
there has been no little complaint
about the EMBELLISHMENTS of fish.
To be suitable article of food, fish
should be used within a few hours
after they have been caught, as they
deteriorate and decompose with very
great rapidity, producing ptomaines of
most dangerous character. The new
idea is the preservation of fish in
tank of sea water, which is continually
agitated and kept in circulation by
pump. So strong is the current made
by the pumping engine that the fish
must swim almost constantly to keep
from being drawn upward by it. Some
of these tanks hold 1000 pounds of
fish, and the water is furnished in
such quantity that it entirely changes
five times an hour, and is, in the
course of the change. re-oxygenized
and made wholesome Sixteen hun
dred pounds of fish were kept for eight
days in one of these tanks in perfect
condition. 1t is claimed that the cost
of preserving them in this way Is less
than half a cent pound per day.

Thu Brewery Trust.

It is NICE little Republican scheme
to amend the war revenue act by pro-
viding that the secretary of the treas
ury shall not issue stamps for any bar
relied beer in less quantity than a
quarter barrel "The effect of this, Of
course" says the Chicago Chronicle.
lis to prevent the sale of eighth and
sixth barrel packages, and the inten-
ton is to kill off the small breweries
in the interest of the beer trust. A
nice little Republican coterie in the
house, known as the beer committee,
succeeded in persuading the ways and
means committee that this amendment
would be good thing, and so it was
slipped through the house as quietly
as possible.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota object
ed to this sort of thing, and plainly
told the finance committee that the
breweries in the beer trust made IS
per cent of the beer made in the coun-
try: that the remaining Is per cent
is made by small breweries in the mi
nor cities and little towns, and is put
up mostly in these small kegs. "They
cannot use larger package" said Mr..
Nelson, because in small towns beer
served in larger packages would spoil"
This beer trust wants to destroy the
business of the little breweries in order
to secure for itself the business of sup
plying all the little places with beer in
bottles

A Burial Trust.

During the funeral services of Mil
waukee man livery association with
drew it's hearse and left the corpse
without means of transportation to its
last resting place. The family of the
deceased sued the association for dam
ages and recovered. the Supreme court
of Wisconsin affirming the judgment
for plaintiff in the contention.
Tho court declared the test to be that
only such combinations are lawful as
are not prejudicial to the rights of the
community, and that applying the test
to tho Milwaukee Liverymen's union,
that corporation is an unlawful COM
binat.on.
"a combination that will resort to
such means as the ruthless breaking
in upon the solemnities of a funeral
ceremony or that aims to entirely mo-
nopolize such an essential to the burial
of the dead according to the custom of
the country, as is usually furnished in
cities by liverymen, and to stifle com
petition and hamper individual indie
pendent industry in regard to such
business as to paralyze individual eff
fort and compel every person in order
to submit to the dictates of the com
bine. will not stand the test above in

Cement for All Wares.

Take OF isinglass two drachms, wet
it with water, and allow it to stand
until softened; then add as much proof
spirit as will rather more than cover
it and dissolve with a moderate heat.
Take of gum mastic one drachm, dis
solve it in two or three drachms of rec
tilted spirit. Mix the two solutions and
stir in one drachm of gum ammonia
cum in fine powder, and rubbed down
with little water. Keep the cement
in bottle. When required for use
place the bottle in warm water, and
apply the cement with stock Of small
hard brush to the china, previously
warmed. Compress the pieces firmly
together until cold. taking care to make
the contact perfect, and using very
thin layer of cement. The white of
eggs, thickened with powdered quick
lime, is also used as a cement for
broken china, marble and glass.

The intricate windings OF crooked
,omplished hypocrite than William
Mckinley. He was born for the char
acter that he so perfectly fits. His
physical and mental capacities are cal
culated to deceive the very elect. He
has the face of Methodist bishop and
ingless phrases that the combined tai
ents of the immortal Pecksniff and the
unctuous Chadband could not equal.
He talks like an angel, but acts like
the prime minister of place that an
gels do not visit. He is an incarnated
personifcation of DR.. Jekyl and Mr..
Hyde. You never know where to find
him. He sets his sails toward all
points of the compass, hoping to catch
every breeze of popular favor. He is
a devout church member, and tippler
of red wine. A few years ago he abused
Grover Cleveland for destroying the
value of one of the precious metals of
the nation and favoring the rich at
the expense of the poor, and the 9TH
er day at the Ohio banquet he congrat-
ulated his hearers on the fact that we
will soon have legislative assurance of
the continuance of the gold standard"
And in the same breath he pretends
to be an international bimetallist. "
In his latest annual message he de-
clared that the extension of free trade
to the people of the islands was a
| plain duty" but no sooner was bill
introduced in congress to carry out his
own suggestion than he frantically i'm
| portuned his friends in that body to
| disregard his advice and defeat tbs
very measure he had so earnestly in
sisted upon. He declares that there is
no alliance or secret understanding
with England, but is using all the pow,

cation of a treaty that requires us tc

at Pretoria demonstrated because hi

called, dishonorably dismissed, and hi
place filled with young pro-Britisl

HONEYBEE'S WINGS.
Microscopic View of One of Nature.
Wonderful Schemes

wonderful Schemes.
At a meeting of the New York
Microsopical Society the president of
the organization exhibited, besides
other thirss ssSfSss honeybee's wing,
shoWinggasp salets by means of
the bee is Joined to the upper wing
IN flying thus making them prac-
tically single wing. The upper Of
the two wings is about half an inch
in length, the lower little shorter.
The wings come together where they
are Joined to the body; they are other
wise separate. When the bee goes into
its hive, it folds it's wings together,
one leaf over the other, so that they
will take up less room. When it goes
abroad, it spreads it's wings and
couples them together with the hooks
When looked at under the microscope
the upper edge of the lower wing is
seen to be REINFORCED as though it
had an extra plate or rib stretched
along there, and to this rib, spaced
apart at regular intervals, though they
are all contained within total space
of little more than quarter of an
inch, there are attached nineteen or
twenty tiny, bony hooks. There is
little thickening at the base of each
hook, where nature has strengthened
it, and one is inclined to regard the
hooks as inset separately and to look
for the rivets wherewith they were
secured to the plate or rib from which
they spring. The lower edge of the
upper wing, as looked at under the
microscope, is seen to be curled up into
lange or trough. When the bee
comes out of the hive, it hooks the
hooks on the upper edge of the lower
wing into the flange or trough at the
lower edge of the upper wing and
SO makes the two wings practically
one.-New York Sun.

TIL. roDcho of the South Americans

The PoDcho of the South Americans.
One of the most common articles OF
is the poncho, when is blanket &Ufii
over the body, with hole cut in the
middle to put the head through. Our
soldiers frequently wear them, but
they are made of rubber instead of cot
ton or wool. which are the materials
in favor in the southern Americas. In
deed, there is SO little call in our coun-
try for cotton or wooden ponchos that
we have given no attention to their
manufacture, though good export
trade could be built up in this line of
goods with our Southern neighbours
Germany supplies these goods now, but
we could fill the bill better if we cared
to do so and set ourselves about it. The
poncho which the South Americans
wear is about the length of an ordinary
blanket, but not as wide. Sometimes it
has twc-inch stripes, running length
wise, of white and brownish colors, al
ternating. Other ponchos are of solid
color, dark russell being a favorite
At each end of the poncho is knotted
work and fringe. In the eyes of the
South Americans this is an important
feature of the article. The price of the
wooden ponchos runs from $44O to
about $3.50, and of the cotton from G.
cents to $3.50.
