The Talk of the Day.


We were interested the other day in
the views OF mother concerning pa
rental duty toward children. Thack-
eray's Mr.. Brown said 10 his nephew:
LAS a true epicurc is hardly ever tired
Of water-sOuchy and brown bread and
butter, l protest ] can sit for q whole
night talking to a weIl-regulated kindly
woman about her girl coming out. or
her boy at Elton, and like the evenings
entertainment" And so we enjoy the
company of the young mother Of a little
girl. or the company OF a well-preserved
mother when her charming daughter
does not happen TO be in the room.
This particular mother spoke about as
follows 4 think # is an outrageous
doctrine that children are bound TO re-
spect and love their parents. Why
should they not have the right TO criti-

are they bound 10 shut their eyes to
faults simply because they were brought
into the world without their own knowI-
edge or consent? Why should a healthy
sane. intelligent child be condemned for
being ashamed OF a stupid or contempti-
bic father or mother? Many children
have greater advantages than their par
ents had. Too often these parents Sc
cretly envy their children the advan-
tages. and they take opportunity to sour
or crush the youthful enthusiasm.

Our Rival In Corn.


NEthl tht 4NEM iNFA lflhAit-
The United States has seemed to have
pretty nearly monopoly Of cora growing
In this industry, however. a rival is also
arising which may before long be develop
ed into great proportions.
That rival is Argentina, country which
for more reasons than one might well be
regarded as the United States Of South
America. 1t is only about two-ffths as
large as the United States, and has only
one-tifteenth as great population. But
It's soil is wondrously fertile and Its climate
genial, and it Is growing in population aad
in the arts of civilization at a gratifying
pace. Its production of cattle and sheep,
Of hides and wool, of hnseed and various
other things is well known to be great. 1t
is also becoming great producer of corn,
for which crop its soil and climate seem to
be particularly well suited
The last year crop Of corn is reported
to have covered 4, 300, 600 acres and to
have measured 1870, 600, 900 bushels
That is, of course, very much less than
our "a, 900, 900 acres and ?, 523, 600, 600
bushels Yet proportionately to the pop
ulation of the country, it is creditable
showing. Moreover, the Argentines get
more than thirty bushels from an acre, and
get dollar of their currency, or forty four
cents gold, bushel for it, making a Yield
of Sl3. 20 an acre, while we, with our
boosted higher civilization, are content
with twenty seven bushels TO the acre,
which, at forty cents bushel, means
yield of only so. so an acre.
There is no occasion to get scared at the
specter of Argentine competition in the
corn market. Yet it is evident that Ar
gentina is destined before long to be 50
considerable a producer of that crop as to
cut figure in the markets of the world.
and probably to rank as rival of the Uni
ted States.

one occasion he said to a client who had
stated his case to him: eyes, you can
recover in this suit, but you ought not to
do so. This is a case in which law and
justice are on opposite sides. y The eli
ent told him he would push the case any
how. ''Then, replied Mr.. Toombs,
s'you must hire some one else to assist you
in your rascality."
