GnlIantry of the KING.

How the pleasant eccentricities of
one generation will persist in break
ing out in another, defying time and
ridicule and the change of manners,
says the Pail Mall Gazette. 1t was the
playful way of Frederick the Great
when he came across a buxom wench
to marry her forthwith to the tallest of
his grenadiers, and it stands to the
credit of his institution that these mar.
riages rarely proved failure. Now,
either in emulation of his great prede.
cessor or else because he cannot helm
it, the kaiser has just had similar at.
tack of gallantry-gallantry, mark
you, on truly imperial scale. He was
visiting Crefeld lately that busy town
of silks and velvets on the lower Rhine.
and learned from the pretty girl inhab b.
itants that all they wanted in the
world was a handful of lieutenants to
dance with them. Hey presto! the au-
tocratic mandate has gone forth that
Crefeld is to have its garrison in the
shape of crack hussar regiment, and
the burgomaster is busy preparing it
accommodation. That regiment is

The great cattle firms are putting W
large packing houses in Texas.
Bohemian miners last year produced
an average of 4S7 tons of soft coal each
A scheme for the manufacture OF
paper buttons is being put forward il
San Francisco. These buttons, say the
promoters of the scheme, will BIZ
cheaper than the bone and metal ones
quite as serviceable and of as good ar
appearance.
A considerable trade in live quails
takes place yearly from Messina to
the United Kingdom. The birds are
caught in the neighborhood of Mes
sina. They are kept from three to four
days in cages before being shipped
and are fed on hemp seed and ground
corn and are watered, freely every
day. 1t is estimated that from 10000
to 100, 900 are caught annually.
A flexible metal hose is made at
Phorzheim, Germany, by rolling up a

joints being made tight by cord Of
rubber on asbestos. The material is
galvanized steel or phosphor bronze
The hose is very flexible. Its tendency
to untwist when roughly handled is
overcome by making it double, with
opposite windings. 1t is intended for
mining purposes, is eight inches in d.
ameter and will stand a pressure of
200 atmospheres.
Nature seems to have made Jamaica
the home of the banana, but it re-
manned for American enterprise to
turn the fruit to gold. 1t is estimated
that 5000, 900 punches of bananas were
shipped from this island last year. At
an average of 80 cents bunch, this
would yield $3,150,OOO. 1t is also stated
that about s1,s5O,0OO is paid out an
nualIy in wages by fruit companies.
This wouldibring total of $4,000, 900

THE HABIT OF LYING.
There Are Various Ways In which
Person May Become Used to
Prevarication.

How does one become q liar? That
is to say, how does the child discover
lie and habitually make use of it?
asks the Chicago Tribune.
We can admit that at the beginning
there is absolute sincerity. The child
through all its first years neither lies
nor dissimulates. Its sentiments, its
desires, translate themselves into
words and into acts. Its body is the
constant and perfect expression of
its inmost being. Such is the start
ing point-sincerity, absolute trans
parency.
There is multitude of little lies
tolerated which we treat as pardon
able. We tell the domestic to say we
are not at home when we are; we
compliment people to their faces and
criticise them when they are gone;
we say we are happy to see some one
and directly after speak of having
been annoyed. No more is necessary.
The example has beenFiven. W
We lie to the child himself; we are
pressed by his many embarrassing
questions, and in order to free our.
selves from the embarrassment reply
with what is frequently falsehood.
Some fine day he discovers the truth,
and the evil is done. The gravest case
is when the child is taken as an ac-
complete in a lie, or when his mother
tells him: "Above ali, do not tell this
to your papa" This is the ruin of
all morality. fs &
The third stage is the first encounter
of the child with society--the first
shock with social life. The child who
tells all he knows, sees and hears,
all that he would better have left
unsaid, is called the "enfant terrible"
His parents do not tell him to lie, but
they tell him it is not necessary to
tell all he thinks. This is extremely
serious, as it teaches the child that
he cannot show himself as he is. This
is the revelation of the lie obligatory.
Above all, among his comrades he
quickly learns to dissimulate, because
If he is naive-expresses all his joys,
pains, desires-they make sport of.
him-nay, worse, they abuse his con-
fidence; the hopes, projects which he
has confided to them he some day sees
used against him.
Thus the impossibility of living with
out lying is revealed to him. Society
excuses certain forms of lying which
are inspired by feeling of politeness,
modesty, shame.
The child becomes a liar because all
the world about him lies. The dis
tinction between the liar and the
man of sincerity is only relative.
There are in reality only two categor-
ies-those. who content themselves
with the lies exacted by social life and
those who have habituated themselves
to lying more than society wishes
to lie because of some personal in
terest.
An important cause in the develop
ment of lying in children is the en-
ployment of excessive and ill,advised
punishments. The child who be-
comes a liar is the one who lives in
perpetual terror of reproaches. humil-
iation or strokes. The lie for him is
a supreme resource.

CONCLUSIONS In CHILDHOOD
Some of the Causes and How to Pro-
coed when the Child II Thus
Afflicted.

A CONFUSION, or fit, is always the oc.
casion for a hasty calling of a physi.
clan when one is procurable. That be-
ing the case, it is the object of this ar.
ticle to point out such facts regarding
these seizures as may serve purposes
other than the immediate treatment
of the attack, says Youths Compan-
ion.
The tendency to conyulsive seizures
is often a strongly marked family
characteristic. In such cases it is COM
mon to find that slight provocation is
sufficient to cause an attack. For ex-
ample, such cases as improperly placed
pins, or strings tightly drawn about
the body, limbs or neck, have caused
commissions under the circumstances
referred to.
An unduly excitable nervous system
likewise predisposes to commissions, es.
pecially when there is irritation of the
digestive system, such as diarrhoea or
worms, or even feeding Immediately
after the nursing mother has been sub.
jected to violent emotions like grief or
anger.
Families in whom commissions have
appeared during childhood in previous
generations should be more than or
dinarily watchful to avoid undue ex-
citement in young children. and to cor.
rect when possible any of the known
causes of commissions.
Commissions cannot be prevented
when they occur as the initiatory
symptom of the acute contagious dis
eases OF childhood, and it is well to
remember that this is one, of the most
common causes of them.

to be attributed the popular treatment
OF commissions, namely, emetics inter

cellent in some cases, should not be en-
ployed during the seizure itself, as in

It is observable that among those peo-

years commissions are more common
After this age they, rarely occur ex-
