How TO Interest the Child.

There is one patent fact which the
makers Of elaborate mechanical toys.
or rather the people who buy them.
are apt to overlook-and that is that
human beings, big or little, are not
satisfied very long with ready-made
pleasure, especially II the means of
it must not be changed. but kept lust
So" Many parents buy their chill
dren toy after toy of marvellous con-
struction and beauty. and then are
surprised when the child easily tires
! of the playthings or breaks them up.
| They call this tendency destructive
ness" and say that their children are
spoiled"
As matter of fact, the very act
of destruction is one proof that the
child is not spoiled, but is possessed
of the normal instinct to do some
thing himself rather than have every
thing done for him. He would not be
human If he were content to amuse
after day.
The child is at first pleased with his
mechanical engine. The intricacy of
the mechanism interests him, and he
enjoys seeing it work. After two or
three days its workings are an old
story and he has found out all he is
capable Of finding out of the reason
why 1t goes. II he is old enough and
ingenious enough he will then pro-
ceed to take it to pieces to see how
II is made. Otherwise he may either
discard or destroy it, and exercise his
active brain in some way which will
probably be called getting into mis-
chief"
The boy who has to make his own
boats and whittle his own wooden SOL
diers is not bothered with such prob
lens. Every day he finds that he
has something new to do-because hel
has learned to do more than he could
the day before He has a chance to
try out every impression which the
outer world makes upon him. He
reads OF the sea fight at Santiago,
and sets his feet to fight his broth
cr's; he uses wooden pegs to repre-
sent Boer and Briton; he tries to re-
produce the racing boat which he sees
on the river. The way to interest and
keep a child amused is not to do
things for him. but to give him things
to do for himself.

Importance of Books Overrated.

1t may sound very radical. but I hon
estly think the Importance of books
vastly overrated by many people," said
Mr.. Hugo Kemper, of Chicago. at the
Riggs.
Mr. Carnegie's gifts of libraries are
generous in the extreme, and his inten-
tions are good. but it seems to me he
could have done his fellow man infinitely
more good by using his wealth in other
channels. Hospitals. asylums. manual
training schools are of more real util. Y
than all the libraries in the world. Now
that the price of the best literature IS
within the reach Of all but those in alb
jeot proverty. the value of free libraries
is not so great as in an era when books
We're scarce and dear.
THE best kind of reading matter IS
found in the daily papers and low-priced
magazines Besides. the very class of
people that most need the benefits of his
institution provided by Mr.. Carnegie viii
reap but little advantage. The class that
tolls for a living will seldom be seen III

A Prohibition Dilemma.

Maine girl of strict prohibition prin-
ciples recently encountered a most curl
Gus difficulty. She was asked to christen
her uncle's yacht, and, obeying the in
junction, Touch not. taste not, handle
not" refused to break the usual bottle
of wine over the nose of the craft. In
stead. she used a bottle of water. This
is Just what Prohibitionists have been
urging for these many years, when they
have not condemned the entire christen-
ing ceremony or suggested the substitu-
tion of the Japanese custom of letting fly
flock OF birds on such an occasion.
But the plan adopted in the case in
point did not suit the church of which the
young lady was a member. The church
raised the question What became of theI
bottle of wine which the young lady did
not use?" 1t argued that this bottle of
wine probably contributed to the intoxica-
tion of some young man, who would not
have had it if ii had been applied to chris
tening purposes, and that the lady there
fore aided and abetted drunkenness b.
leaving that bottle of wine TO be con-
sumed by human being instead of smash
Ing it in a place where it could hurt no
body.
The young lady was somewhat surprised,
but she did not sit down calmly under the
accusation. She appealed from the ac-
tion of the church; first, on the ground
that the church had failed to designate
the particular bottle which she might
have used, and second, that the church
had not proved that the wine was drunk
by young man, or that a young man
was made drunk by any wine. She said
that the wine which might have been
used was actually consumed by an old
mana seasoned PrOhibitionist. who was
safe from harm, and she challenged the
church to disprove what she said. The
elders gave up the job.

Harbor Sunset.

Beyond the bar the sun has set
And there the wind may chant its runes,
All mystical aud sad at sea,
But here the high sky over me
Is one pure dome of violet
Winnowed of cloud above the dunes.
Over the Druid pine and fir
That crown the westering hills is seen
The young moons golden barge atioat
Like some adventurous fairy boat.
With one white star to pilot her
Through the seas of pearl and lucent
green.
Afar the islets still and dim,
That gem the harbor's FURNISHED zone,
Hold yet the twilight that must soon
Fall over sea and reef the dune,
As from some gOblets crystal rim
\ misty purple wine is blown.
The boats that sailed at break of day
are homeward bound, and on the shore

For toll is past and work is done
When DER the hushed and placid bay

attend al all OF not, In fact. Just so with
land-the land is worth no more with a
house on it than before the house was
built, unless there are other causes for an
advance in it's value.
'Fairhope owns all its franchises. 1t
owns the town wharf, which is the
source of considerable revenue. 1t built
this wharf without dollar. Instead of
paying for the material and labor in
money, 1t issued certificates emitting the
holders to the use of the wharf after :ts
completion in proportion to their con-
tributions. Every one of these certif-
Gates has been redeemed already, and
the company has drilled n public well
and bought steamboat, which plies be-
tween Fairhope and Mobile on the same
plan. AS soon as the well is paid for
the water will be free.
There are in Fairhope four stores,
photograph gallery, a bakery, a livery
stable, a hotel. carpenters, and mechan-
les, and truck farmers. Truck farming
is the principal vocation of the residents
of the community, their produce finding
a ready market in Mobile. The company
is forbidden under its articles OF incor-
poration, from contracting interest bear
ing debts. OF course, individuals cannot
mortgage leased lands. and they are gen.
eralIy free from debts of any kind.

Had Faith in His Benefactor.

The presence in Washington of Hon.
Edward L. RUSSELL general counsel Of the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad, is always ap-
preciated by his numerous friends at the
Capital He is a guest of the New Will
lard, accompanied by his family.
A year or SO ago Mr. Russell was elect
ed to the presidency Of the Mobile and
Ohio. and many congratulations were Of
fered by his townsmen. OF all the COM
pliments paid him, however. he derived
the most pleasure from one that came
from an old eolored man who had been
waiting upon him for many years. Old
Sam walked into ibis office, and without
prelude said:
II hears 'em a-sayin' that you is Il
mighty great man. now you has dun been
made president OBJ dis road, but knows
a lots better dan dat, Mr.. Russell. low
you dun bin a great man all dis time.
an no offs dey could glib you could make
you greater man den you wus."
When finally the road passed into other
hands old Sam was somewhat troubled.
He went about seeking some explanation
of the change, but none was Forthcoming
that was very clear to his understanding.
Finally he sought Mr.. Russell and was
told that the road had been bought by
another company but that he needn't
worry, as he would still remain. The old
mans face showed he was greatly re-
lieved. He enquired if financial difficult
ties had been at the bottom of the deal,
and on being answered in the negative,
said:

Asylum in Philadelphia, administered
specific which she declared not only made
those taking it immune from smallpox,
but vas a cure for the disease. Mother
Marie Jcsephas, now connected with the
hospital, says that the mixture is still in
use there. II consists Of one grain of
sulphste OF zinc, one grain of foHgloye,
mixed with two tablespoonfuls of water.
This again, when thoroughly dissolved, IS
added to four ounces of water, and tea

The question to whether the Old Dominion

rather ambiguous, for l have yet been able to

There is no doubt that there many localities in
Virginia which lack the necessary claims to free de-
livery. OF course if any applications made
we would endeavor to push them through. because
Virginia ought to have her full share OF the appro-
priations for that purpose. At the time should
infinitely prefer the contract system to salaricd
