Bobby was lying on the bank, think
ing what to 10 next. He had used his
sling against several cats and sent
them in frantic haste beyond his reach.
had brought down a robin with a well
directed shot, and had sent Tommy
into the house with red spot on his
face and protesting howl. Besides
that, he had driven bluebird from
its nest, broken a window, and ruffied
the unusually even temper of his big
chum Iowser. Now he was wonder
ing what he should do next, for il still
lacked m hour OF sehool-time.

his chores, and cheerful and willing
in accepting extra work, and did he
not insist on helping her wash dishes
and swee and carry water? Some
times she spoke severely of his ''cruel
sport, " butin her heart she substituted
another word for it, thoughtlessnesa.
The sunlight lay warm tupon the
bank, and presently he saw two bugs
climbing a tiny slope that was bare of
grass. He reached ont for pebble
to throw, but none was within reach,
and the game was not worth the exer-
ton OF rising. So he lay there and
watched.
He was not quite sure about the
bugs, but thought they were the kind
that papa told of carrying such great
weights. If SO, they must be regular
giants of strength, and this thought
brought more interest into his eye .
One of them was tagging behind
the other and moving with a slow,
halting motion, as though partly dis
abled. Perhaps he had been trying
to lift mountain, and the mountain
had fallen on him and broken his le.s

FATHER OF KINDERGAR TEN.
FrOebeI Looked to Woman as Hts
Natural Ally 10 Make Ii
a Success.

After spending years wrestling with
the problems of education, Friedrich
Froebel, founder of the kindergarten,
arrived at the conclusion that the
school could never be a success until
the home performed its function as an
educational institution also, writes
Patterson Dubois, in the March Ladies'
Home Journal. Thenceforth his domi-
nant interest was focused on the cradle
rather than on the schoolhouse. He
became the great apostle of the home.
He looked to woman as his natural
ally, yet he was not oblivious to the
fathers part in homemaling. His
proposition for general educational
union was addressed to fathers. He
firmly believed, however, that woman
was to be the worlds great education
al force. She was to regenerate the
race. Yet he realized that this meant
that she must suffer even as he suf-
fered. Whoever will go with me-" he
said, must undertake great deal,
must suffer ridicule and blame, and let
themselves be burned or torn in pieces"
He wanted a mother to be something
more than a "beloved mother" He
says: "In order to render the COM
mand of Christ effective, education in
the family must first be reformed,
otherwise there will be no solid foun-
dation for subsequent education to
stand on"

DOG I'm THE sCHooLRooM.
A Courageous Teacher VINO F""~
That Her Pupils Were Better
g0r HIS Presence

Since DR.. Hale promulgated his plan
about pets in the public schools, nave
heard from several teachers VINO nave
made experiments of this sort WIN
success, says the Boston transcript
One excellent teacher had an expert
ence with dog which was instructive
One of her pupils, slum boy with q
bad reputation, had very "ornery
bull terrier which was sure to go every
where the boy did, and followed HIM 10
school one day.
The boy arrived little late with the
dog; the other children knew that the
pair were coming, and they were on tne
alert for scene. In came the boy with
the big bull terrier at his heels. Inc
pupils held their hands to their mouths
The teacher showed no sign OF SURPRISE
but said: "Ah, / see we have new
scholar. What's his name, MichaelF
Michael said his name was Grip, or
something like that am not quite
sure what it was. "Ah, Grip, here
Grip!" said the teacher, Hospitality
and alphabetically, and the dog came
upto her and let her pat his head. Then
she told him, gently but firmly, to lie
down by her desk, and he did. There
he remained, sleeping peacefully or
quietly watching the proceedings OF
the school, until the intermission.
The children were all over their
snickering and wondering in a few
minutes and seemed pleased and cheer
full because the dog was in the room.
He was adopted as regular attendant
and from that time on spent most OF
his time by the teachers desk, though
often he accompanied his master into
herecitation-room, where his behavior
was always excellent.
The teacher AYERS that her pupils are
less disorderly and troublesome when
the dog is present than when he is abb
sent.

In obedience to the overwhel-
ming feeling of the country, the
Republican House has decided to
make a bluff at repeating some OF
the war taxes. Since Secretary
Gage stated that the surplus this
year will be $72, 900, 900 and next
year 1874, 900, 900, something had
to be begun, though it is safe to
say that nothing will be finished
at this session. The people de-
mand the repeal of the stamp
taxes, and the brewers that OF
the increased tax on beer. Both
cannot be granted, and, in the
fear of losing votes on one side
or the other, the Republicans
will do nothing.

Rico when he asked Congress to

that time Congress will have ad-

An editor prints his paper to
give his patrons the news of the
day and for the money there is
in it. He is presumed to know
of what he writes, and he gen
orally does. When he writes as
he does in the Leader Courier, of
Osceola Mills, Pa, that "Chamb-
erlain's Cough Remedy acts mag
ically, and we have found none
better in our household. If you
have a cough, try it," it may be
accepted as an honest expression,
worthy of credence. For sale by

Even Republicans pretend to
shrink aghast from the enormous
powers they have conferred on
the Porto Rican government
powers that will enable that lit
tie island to be bound hand and
foot and delivered over to the
franchise grabbers. The better
minded of them wonld like to
undo part of their work, but it is
too late. The trusts and the
corporations that made the Re
publican party will not relax
their grip now when their reward
is at hand. Porto Rico must pu

An Exhibit Of uu..a

An interesting and odd exhibit in
the Paris exposition will be a hall de-
voted to the hussars of the world.
PAINTINGS showing the great deeds of
men of this arm of the service will
form large part of the exhibit. Ger
many and Austria-Hungary will be rep
'esented particularly well, for the sim
pie reason that the hussars of these

uid really wonderful acts of bravery
