Short Sermon on the Proper Training
of Children.
Some parents, remember! Not all
parents. Various recent occurrences so
shocking as to arouse universal repul-
sion and horror, seem to indicate that
there is a screw loose somewhere else
than in the laws of the country or in
the moral constitution of society. Such
things don't happen all at once. They
come from gradual causes and from an
Increasing carelessness in the ordinary
safeguards to decent living.
If morality is the product Of evolu-
ton, as the scientists say, we seem yet
to be long way from the perfect prod
uct. Possibly, if we were to try the
evolutionary theory of extinction of the
unfit, we might find considerable
wedding out of parents to be help in
the solution. The Greeks had their
convenient way Of disposing of useless
people, but the Greek way seems to US
like the worst sort of savagery. It had
an element of modern force, however,
How would it do to try state manage
ment for the families Of the parents
who cannot manage to keep their chill
dren at home nights-or, keeping them
there, cannot manage to make them
happy there? How about the parents
who don't even try and who have no
more idea of systematic training in
morality than they have of the world
wide economic value of the "ounce of
prevention"
The modern method of bringing up
children is getting to be increasingly
on the theory that knowledge is DOW
err" that the more children can gather
of the life of the streets and the life
Of the world the better. In fact, the
belief in knowledge alone is the bane
of the day. We have manual training
and physical training and .etic
training, but the finest training of all
the training of the home-is slighted.
To give boys and girls sound, whole
some bodies is fine thing; perhaps it
is even finer than to give them we'll
trained brains, but finest of all is 1t to
make them of pure heart and clean
speech. To implant in child that in
stinctiye dislike of coarseness and
grossness which shall be like the spear
of Ithuriel to detect the weakness and
falsity of evil suggestions, even though
masked under the hood of truth-this
is function which belongs first of all
to the parent. No other human being
can do it.

Anyone who has walked around the

The Wisconsin Man Buys a Woman's
Fried Oysters in a Restaurant.
While the national convention of the
W. G. 7. U. was in session in Wash
ington one Of the California delegates,
an elderly lady, went into a restaurant
on G street, looked the bill of fare over
carefully, and ordered fried oysters.
How many" asked the waiter.
"Oh," she said, remembering the di-
minutive oyster of California, 81 guess
dozen and a half will do"
The waiter lifted his eyebrows, but
took the order back to the kitchen. In
due time he appeared with an enormous
platter full of fried oysters, each half
as large as a mans hand
The California lady nearly tainted.
"Take them away" she gasped. 81
never, never ordered that great mass Of
food"
THAT'S dozen and a half fried oys.
ters, ma'am," the waiter replied.
There was some hysterical but vain
argument on the part of the delegate
from California.
Sne was told she would have to pay
for the oysters, but she needn't eat
them unless she chose to do so.
Just then Senator Spooner came in
and sat down at the next table, The
W. G. T. q. delegate, almost in tears,
leaned over and asked imploringly:"Oh,
sir, do you like fried oysters?"
Senator Spooner stared. ST have
eaten them, madam" he replied, with
dignity.
''Then please buy these; please,
please do"
"But," said the Senator, laughing,
Il never eat them now, for l find they
promote Indigestion"
The lady exhibited her white ribbon
badge and implored again: "Oh, you
haven't eaten anything yet; please buy
these"
"Well, I'll buy them, but I assure
you madam, I do not contract to eat
them"
And he paid the check, while the
delegate from California almost ran
out Of the restaurant.

AoEcAusED FAMOUS QUARREL
Empress Josephine Cut Costly Piecs
and NauoIeou Slammed Her

Empress Josephine Cut a Costly Piece
and Napoleon Slapped Her.
For $1,000 has been sold In Paris a
piece of lace which was the cause of a
quarrel between Napoleon and Jo-
sephine, in which the cheeks of the EN-
press were slapped. 1t had been the
property of Mile. Perusset, daughter of
a favorite maid Of the fighty Empress
Napoleon had brought the lace from
Italy. He often brought her beautiful
things on his return from successful
campaign, and Josephine never asked
him how he had got them, for she
thought that perhaps he would not care
to tell.
1t was large square of the finest old
point de Venise, and Josephine, as soon
as she had it in her possession, sent for
NJ. Duplan, her man-milliner, and asked
him to make with it certain fchu and
a peplum.
Impossible, your majesty" answered
Duplan, 'the piece is too large, and we
could not arrange it gracefully"
"Well, cut it, thenH'
"Cut a treasure such as that! Oh,
madam, l could not do such thingv
"NonsenseT cried Josephine. The
lace was draped on her shoulders; she
knew how she wanted it; so she calmly
took a pair of scissors, and in a second
had it set right while long, narrow
pieces Of the priceless stuff fell round
her.
At this moment the Emperor entered
the room. "Cannibalew b, cried. And
he gave her a sounding slap on her
violently rouged cheeks, which were
soon covered with tears. Duplan dis
creetly withdrew, and the lace was
thrown into a chest of drawers. Jo-
sephine could not bear the sight of
after that, and gave it to Nine. Perus-
set, her favorite maid. The odd bits of
it have now been sold for $1,000. An
other bundle fetched $1,000.
The passion Of Josephine for lace
caused frequently scenes between her
and Napoleon. She would have lace,
and she seldom let anything stand in
the way of acquiring it. 1t is even
said that this frivolous fancy helped
to bring about her downfall, for Ma
poleon, who at first would not hear of
forsaking her, one day said to the
Prince De Wagram: '"The cup is full
now, Prince. What do you think 10.
sephine did lately? 'Nobbled' one OF
my young generals, and made him pass
lace for her in his top boots through
my own frontier! Her soul is made
of lace, Prince, and that is too fragile
stuff for an Empress soulw
