A POINT FOR PARENTS.
Children Should First Be Given q
Term OF Schooling Under the
TuteIage of Nature.

If nature be the teacher, we need
never fear that our children have be.
come pupils too soon, because hers
is not a examining method. Every
little mind brought in contact with
her is piled necessarily with knowl-
edge, it is true, yet as freely as the
air is drawn into the lungs and fills
them, giving with each respiration
new vigor and life, even so does Dame
Nature impart her instruction to the
mind, says Gertrude Dixie GaskeI, in
Woman's Home Companion. Often
she may require preceptor. Let US
not fail to be that preceptor, and show
our children how her book always
lies open before them, waiting to be
read, filed from cover to cover with
every living, growing thing about;
and that nothing is too insignificant
to find a place among the pages. If
they become well acquainted with
her they will love her, and will have
gained besides a knowledge which
will never be forgotten, nor reIegated
to the attic of the brain on account of
disuse. In view of this would it not
be wise to let our children give mp the
first seven or eight years of their
lives to the tutelage of nature alone +?

rectly toward the place appointed for
our meeting, but we found that our
man was circling around back toward
the starting point. When daylight
came we had the establishment of see

to the house he had left two hours be-
fore and enter with his horse as if he
had been out simply taking morn

We rode up and asked if he wasn't
ready to submit quietly to the law
He said he was not and that he had
come back there to fight it out He
gave us till he could count hundred

fire, AS he had the advantage of us
we scurried around to the back of the
house about hundred yards off and
found shelter in a gulch. AS the day
wore on we were in a quandary about
what should be done. Toward noon
the situation cleared up. We heard
the tramp of a company of cavalry
coming up from Camp Supply. head
ed them off and told them of our di-
lemIna. The captain agreed to give us
their moral support and then help us
riddle the house with bullets if the
man didn't surrender.
I went to the nearest point in the
gulch and called for a parley. Lock
wood replied that he would surrender
as it was no use to try to hold out
against such odds. He came out and
we put the bracelets on him. Then we
started for the point where we were
to meet Harry Baker.
It was past the middle of the after
noon when we reached the appointed
place. Harry seemed to have taken
uncommon measures for making 4
comfortable camp. His blankets were
erected on poles to make tent and a
hot bed of Goals was near by to take
off the slight chill in the air.
We discovered the cause when we
came near. A very handsome girl o.
not more than II was occupying the
tent. When she saw our prisoner, she
came up with tears in her eyes as sh,
said: "'I'm glad they got you, father

NEW AERIAL MOTOR.
Is Constructed on the Most
Plausible Theory.

European aeronauts are just now
talking a great deal of a very novel
airship, which has been constructed
by MN. Filippi, of Bizerta, and Mac1er,
of Tunis, and are wondering whether
it will really do all that they claim for
it. They maintain boldly that their
airship can be upIifted and made to
move in any desired direction by means
of atmospheric pressure.
''Our balloon" they say, twill be en-
tirely at our command after the atmos-
phere has been artificially rarefied in
front of it,
Their invention in no way resembles
an ordinary balloon. 1t is shaped like
a skiff, on which are several masts. On
the summit of each mast is cone, and
this is surmounted by a small wing. A
machine causes the cone to turn, and
their rotation, it is said, is bound to
create an impulse under the airship
which will necessarily send it upward.
In the front and rear of the sliff there
are also revolving cones, which are de-
signed to rarely the air and thus pre-
vent the balloon from stopping.
That this is a most plausible theory
all scientists admit, but some of them
insist that no balloon constructed on
this principle will ever be able to travel
through the air. Thus M. Henri de
Parville says: INN. Filippi ano Macler
are merely wasting their time. A doz-
en- years ago M. Puskas, a well-known
scientist, came and told me that he had
at last invented perfect balloon.

he said atmospheric pressure. Ipoint-

went ahead, and in a short time he had

stde-Lishta on Lie,

Conscience is that within us which
tells US what our neighbors are doing
wrong.
If you would be happy you must
learn to live day at time.
It is never too late to mend, but
sometimes it is time wasted.
Never belittle your own acts. Peo-
pie are very apt to take you at your
estimate.
Every time an argument gains a new
friend it loses you two old ones.
Some men find it so hard to get

 Higher on Day.

NEW YORK, Sept. l7.-The market for cot ton futures opened firm and 3q5 points higher on active room covering and some support from the bull faction. despite the fact that cables from Liyerpool were very disappointing and the demand from public account very light. Following the call the market exhibited pro- nounced strength and rapidly stiffened on in- creasing nervousness among local shorts and growing confidence on the part of the bull forces The English market quickly responded to the hrmness here and also sent liberal buy ing orders. Before the close of the nrst hour the South. Wall Street. the West and com mission houses were brisk buyers of the later options. There was very little cotton for sale other than that offered for the purpose of se- curing profits. By midday net rise of 70 l2 points was shown and the demand even at tfose figures was somewhat in excess of of- fers. Rumors that the tropical storm was rapidly approaching the northern guif coast and was increasing In intensity and that con tinued heavy rains over the central ana eaot" ern belt were doing great damage to cotton now quite generally open, did much to strengthen the market The weekly Govern ment report proved to be very unfavorable, one of the worst If not the worst received this season. and gave shorts fresh cause for un- easiness and in covering January was quickly bid up to 7.77, or 36 points above the lowest figure of last Friday. The South and West continued to buy for further advance while pit bulls supported the market with more con- hdence than manifested for long time. Spec ulation was quite active and reactions were exceptionally small and few and far between

English Farmers, Maxim.

There has been much written about the indifference of the harvest through Eng land this year. It is true enough that in many parts the crops are thin and the straw extraordinarily short, but there are exceptions Any one who has visited the fen country must be astonished at the luxuriance of the crops. There has not been such a harvest of barley for many nous. Whether or no this Is altogether to the financial good of the farmer is another question, for in respect at any rate of potatoes in Ireland, America, and the Continent the crops are equally plen- tiful. and prices will be low. There is a proverb among fen farmers that "a bad year Is better than a good and a good worse than a bad"
