The Blind Girl and the Governor.

GOV. Odell, who returned To Albany r..
Gently, spent his last TWO DAYS in the city
visiting state institutions in aud around
the greater city. The governor has made
Il systematic and paiustaking inspection
of every state Institution within the last
year Possibly no governor in the his
tory of the state has 81 thoroughly gone
into this work, Based upon this personal
observation and study were the bills
urged by the governor for reforms ia
state institutions.
Seated around Il table few evenings
ago were the governor and party of
friends. He drifted into review ot this
work he has been doing and recounted
various incidents that had come under
his observation. Some were numerous

Mothers Wisdom.

NAN once to the writer
Unfortunately, the early Of in
fancy and childhood are H. mes in
which domestic cares press hardest upon
the mother with limited financial means
and growing family, making her often
overlook the tendencies which unchecked
or not guided properly may later appear
as habits well nigh impossible to Grad
icate.
1t is necessary for those of us to whom
that most important and complex task,
the training of a VOTING child, has been
entrusted, to remember continually. that
what we want the little one to learn we
must teach him.
The fine qualities OF truthfumess hon
cSty, of obedience to law. do not develop
naturally they are attained only by Il
strenuous course of discipline, which be-
gins as soon as the intelligence awakens

Some years ago, the writer noticed that
a little fellow of &. Il friend of her own
little sons, seemed To be well supplied
with pocket money.
Mentioning the matter as tactfully As
possible TO his mother. it was discovered
that he had been abstracting it from her
purse secretly. She laughed easily and
said she thought all children would DO
the same thing ii the opportunity OIL

Absolute truth-telling is also one of
the first lessons to be taught.
Much good Judgment and self-restraint
must be used in the matter of administer
ing punishment. for the fear of Il whip
ping is invariably the first inducement
To child to lie. Let him understand as
soon as his little mind can grasp it, that
he will never be punished if he comes to
mother and tells her he has been naugh-

untruth is the objectionable sin, worse
