ssHardening" OF Children.

Hecker is outspoken in his objeo-
lions to the methods pursued in the
so-called hardening Of children by
the means of cold douches or baths.
As a rule, children, thus treated are
more susceptible &c nasal oataTTihs,
throat affections, nronchitis and pull
monary determinations than: those who
have not been subjected to the ''hard-
ening" process. Furthermore such
measures frequently give rise to pro-
nounced auaemia and various disorders
Of the v system. Children so
hardened" are especially prone to
acute apd chronic intestinal disorders.
While in healthy children q proper
ly conducted hardening process is
often of advantage, it must be remem-
bered that there are no hard and fast
rules that every case must be treated
according to the individual indications.
The fundamental principles OF o proper
hardening" system are as follows:
~ Gradual acclimation to the air OF
the room; (2) gradual acclimation to
outdoor air; (3) gradual acclimation to
cold water; az suitable clothing
varied according to the weather and
time Of year. Great care should be
observed in acclimating the child to
cold water, and tho effects of the same
should be carefully watched, the en-
deavors being at once suspended on
the first appearance of any u~nfavor.
able symptoms.
On no account should any of the
hardening" measures be commenced
until the nursing period is passed and
in all cases the process should be one
of gradual advancement.-New York

and best and most chivalrio of them.
Gen. Hampton was well-nigh a per-
feet specimen of physical manhood.
a little less than six feet in height,
we'll proportional, with q muscular
development like o trained athlete.
While punctiliously observant Of the
conventionalities and duties Of polite
life, he cared little for the glamour
and frviolities of social pastime. His
leisure hours were more ~congenially
employed by the exciting chase of out
door sports, and his unaffected nature
more attracted by movements and
habits Of the evasive trout.
In his relation with strangers he
was rather reserved, without being
%forbidding, but with intimate friends
was the soul Of geniality and good
cheer-always considerate, kindly and
respectful.
He was endowed with a dignity that
never suggested superiority, and yet
free from condescension or haughti-
ness--always. self-poised, self-respect-
ing-a gentleman.
1t would be fragrant fattcry to say
Gen. Hampton had no faults. II he
could speak he would have q poor
opinion of a man or m who would
set up such a claim. He was cordially
human, with many Of The weaknesses
with which all human nature is Affect
ed, but his high and noble qualities
of head and heart we're so command
ing and controlling as to overshadow
his weakness and reduce them to the
category Of foibles. Sallust said to
Cato:
"At Catoni studium modestiea, de-
coris sed maxine, seveniates erat.
"Non divitiis cum divite neque fac
stone cum factioso, sed Jun strenuo
virtue, Gun modesto pudore, cum in
nocente, abstinentia certabat esse,
guam videri bonus malebat; tia quo
minus gloriam petebat go magis seque-
batur," which'paraphrased, somewhat,
and translated would read:
"But Hampton's ambition was that
Of temperance, discretion; be did not
contend in splendor with the rich or
in faction with the seditious, but with
the brave in fortitude, with the
modest in simplicity. with the tenn,
perate in abstinence; he was more de-
sirous to be than than appear virtu-
GUS; and thus the less he oourted
popularity and the more it pursued
him"
Gen. Hampton was a great cavalry
soldier, one Of the greatest. of modern
times, if not any period of the worlds
history; he was an exemplary citizen
of the loftiest and highest ideals of
duty, devoted to the principles Of con-
stitutional government, a statesman Of
sound judgment and wisdom, an incor.
ruptible gentle. What more can or
need be said of him?

A Brilliant Preachers Wit.

Of sll the brilliant preachers of
modern times, no one shone more re-
splendcntly in conversation han the
eloquent Baptist minister, Robert
Hall, says the Saturday Evening Post.
It is remarkable that, while in his
writings, hardly a CLEAN Of wit or
humor is to be found, yet in tho'social
circle he was distinguished by his
terse and punget sayings. All his
life he was o martyrt to an excruoiating
disease and his wittiest sayings were
uttered when he was writing with
sharp pain. A lady at q friends
house found him SO lost in thought
that she vainly essayed to engage
him in conversation. At length, i'm
patient Of his reveries, she said flip
PANTY, in aliusion to q Miss Steel to
whom he was engaged to be married.
"Ah, sir, if We had but polished
steel here we might secure some Of
your attention, but"
Madam, interrupted the now rou-
sed preacher, make yourself quite
easy; if you are not polished steel, you
are at least polished BRASS"
Hall had on intense adherence of
religious cant, 70 which he gave ex-
preston sometimesin the most scorch-
ing terms. A young minister, who
was visiting him, spent q day in sigh
ing, ever and anon begging pardon
for his suspirations, and saying that
they were caused by grief that had so
hard a heart. When the lamenta-
tons, which Hall had borne patiensly
the first day, were resumed at break
fast on the second he said:
"Why, sir don't be so cast down;
remember Of the compromising prin-
ciple, and be thankful and still"
"Ccmpensating pr~incipler" exclaim-
ed the young man; "what can COM
pensate for e hard hearth"
"Why, a soft head, to be surel'' re-
piled Hall, who, if rude, had certain
ly great provocation.

BRITISH ADVICE AND
 AMERICAN DIPLOMACY
BY ALFRED SETON.

Among the British exports to the United States every year there is one, ponderous i'll weight although intrinsi- eally not very valuable, the name even Of which never appears in the tables of the statisticians. It is the article of Ad- vice, made up in manifold forms to suit every occasion, moral, political, artistic, social, commercial, educational, and so on through the list of all the activities, spiritual and physical which concern us In this world and in the one that is to come. Were an export duty imposed on it. the gain to the British treasury would be enormous, and might possibly prove a substitute for the income tax, hated of the aristocracy. or the tax on beer. de- tested of the toiling community Were we, on the other hand, to take 1t off the free list and put it in on the sky-scrap- ing schedules of the Dingley act our al ready plethoric surroundings would as- sume proportions which would defy the efforts of all the patriotic billion-dollar budget-builders to keep within reasonable bounds. This, of course, presupposes the truth of the disputed theory that 1t is the producer and not the consumer that contributes to the toll.
 The latest consignment of advice from the other side is of a special brand. high

It is, or it was, ou yus4 pride. that we were the first of oderl nations to set our faces against all this mummery, and get into the broad highway of common sense. We did it when we sent the im- mortal Franklin to represent the young republic, or rather the thirteen colonies and the congress of the confederation, at the court of the Sixteenth Louis, who in the bitterness of his animosity toward his brother monarch across the channel, and in deferenee to the enthusiasm of the nation became our ally. Bluff old BenJa- min resolutely stuck to his plain Quaker garb in the salons of the gayest and most brilliant capital of the world at that time. He declined to make a mun.mer of him. self in the habiliments of a feudalism the bell of whose doom and downfall was so soon to strike. Franklin was the avant courier of democracy in France. in Eu- rope, the precursor of the period when thrones were to fall and tumble before the conquerlng legions of the republic. Yes, I know, Franklin did have himself some sort of a court dress. but it was a very small concession in the way of re- galia, barely enough to bring him within the lines of court etiquette, outright de- fiance of which would have stamped him as a boor instead of natural noble that he was. And then came Adam and Jef- ferson, the one drawer of the great de- claration, the other orator whose elo- quenee had nerved even the most timid into the signing of it. Than these three men. Franklin. Adams and Jefferson, there were no aber diplomats or states men in Europe at the time. the Chathams and the Burkes of England not even ex- cepted

Not in all the years That ave intervened since then has the republic without diploinat- ic caste in the monarchial sense. exper- fenced any lack of men fully competent to serve her abroad in every emergency that has arisen and meet face to face the highest intellects that could be pitted against them. This has been the uni form, unbroken record. from the Peace Commission of Ghent that settled the Alabama claims; or the more recent one at Paris whose deliberations resulted in the acknowledgment of the independence of Cuba and the acquisition of Porto Rico and the Philippine possessions. Again, take the line of the foreign min isters whom have we sent to London since the civil war. and with them com pare the men whom Great Britain has sent to Washington. Among the former are to be found the names of Motley and Lowell and Hay. What three British ministers to Washington can be put in the same class with them? They cannot be named. And there Is still another comparison that might be instituted without detriment to the republic. name ly. one between the British premiers and the American secretaries of state during the nineteenth century.

Odd Fellows Adopt Report of Finance
 Committee on $1,. o,oo0 Temple.

Baltimore, September 25.-At the session lows today the report of the finance com mittee on the proposed million-dollar memorial building of Washington lodge of this city was adopted. The lodge was given power to solicit contributions from lodges and meml CTS of the order in juris- dictions outside of Maryland, provided the grand masters of the jurisdictions do not object.
 It was decided however that the name of the sovereign grand lodge is in no way to be connected with the project.
 A memorial service was adopted for the Rebekah lodges, and they were empow- cred to print copies.
 Nearly all the patriarchs militant who have been here during the sessions of the sovereign grand lodge, about 2000 in number, left for Washington today, where they will be entertained by local lodges.
 A proposal to admit to membership per- sons of mixed blood was defeated by the sovereign grand lodge, as was also a res- olution to grant to the patriarch militant a direct representation in the sovereign grand lodge ,Al
 The resolution to fix the salary of Gen. M. A. Raney, commander of the patri- arehs militant at $120o, was lost; his re- muneration will consist of the profits on the sale of supplies to members of that branch of the order.
 7 After spirited debate the resolution to permit liquor dealers to joint the order was defeated
