For the Young Mother.
1t Is a pathetic truth that more chill

So anxious is young mother to see
her little one happy. smiling and ANUS

And later on the happiest children

amuse them. 1t Is neither wise nor
kind to 50 wait OH child's pleasure,
and to spend your time amusing little
child, picking up its ball. building
houses with Its bricks, fetching and
carrying for 1t. is to destroy its pow

for world in which the most helpful
are the most happy.
Children managed in the right way
are quite proud and happy to do little

There is striking analogy between

lever by which the power Is applied.
Broadly speaking, every implement de-

The three qualifications last named
should be present in the horse collar

fits the horse, and Is stuffed full and
round, 1t may be hard as iron without
danger Of CALLING the shoulder. Ger

drawn up high enough so that the

roughness or improper shape, never
because 1t Is too hard. If it Is to be
continuously used the man does not
put on a mitten in warm weather to
overcome a defect In 1t; neither does
he demand that the handle he made of
something soft, but simply that 1t be
properly shaped, smooth and hard. The

A home made land roller on our farm
was made as follows: Two rows of
holes were bored through the rims of
old moving machine wheels. and 2x5
inch oak planks 81 feet long were
bolted around them. to form two
drums. The edges Of the planks were
beveled and the bolt heads counter
sunk. The two axles were welded to-
gether to make one long arbor. the
ends Of which were securely fastened
in strong frame.

the arbor passes Is twisted Mt each end

cows enough succulent foods during
the winter. 1t does not seem to occur
to them that an animal that has been
on pasture all the summer through
should need anything other than plen-

paid as high as 50 bushel for carrots
for stock feeding. and considered that
the sum was made good by having
less trouble with Indigestion among
the cows and especially saving annoy

DISFRANCHISEHENT IN MARYLAND.

According to our Baltimore dispatches, the in

prepared a bill intended to work the wholesale
Acknowledgement of the negro voters of that

any State Of the Union prior TO January 1.
1867. and for all their legitimate lineal de-
scendants. This is q bald appropriation OF
the celebrated grandfather" clause of the
new constitutions OF Louisiana and North Caro-
lima.
We are not surprised ar this avowed and open
attempt 10 deny the negro voter, as such, the
political rights he has until now enjoyed under
the Maryland constitution Of 1867. In the cam
paigns of 1899 and 1903 the Democratic party
won control of the State on the single issue of
race antagonisms. 1t declared negro suffrage

On that issue the Democratic party has twice
triumphed. The new legislature is Democratic in
both branches by a two-thirds majority. The
Democratic party is in a position to make good

chisement and the Democratic leaders are tax

THE EASTERN OUTLOOK.

There is no Disgusting the fact that the out
look in Eastern Asia is decidedly warllke.
Desperate, but not hopeless" is the cur1ously
contradictory phrase used in Paris to describe
it. Perhaps it will serve as well as one more
logical From one point of view the situation Is
indeed without hope Both Japan and Russia
have long regarded war as inevitable, and both
are believed to regard the present time as the
most advantageous for such struggle. Yet
from another point it seems not hopeless. for
there are unquestonably strong influences at
work in behalf Of peace.
The most serious feature Of the case is the
fact that no assurances are offered to Japan
that anything will be gained for her by with
holding her hand. 1t is pretty openly confessed
by Russia that any concession she may make
to Japan will be only temporary, to last until
she shall be better able to fight and to crush
Japan. Nor is It at all certain that any assur-
ances of a permanent settlement would be re-
garded by Japan as satisfactory. Russia's I'M
fulfilled pledges concerning Manchuria count
strongly against acceptance Of further promises
by her at their face value.
The "Novoe Vremya," doubtless speaking with
official inspiration, expresses hope that Japan
will not crowd Russia too far and will not
execute q dance upon Russias peaceful dis
position" Such a representation of the case
will deceive nobody. There is no indication
that Japan is crowding Russia. On the con-
trary, 1t is Russia that is doing the crowding.
She is openly trying to crowd japan and all
other nations out Of Manchuria by Selling those
provinces for herself in violation of her own
formal and repeated pledges. Beyond that she
is trying to crowd Japan out Of Corea Also OF
course, If to dispute Russia's right to the whole
Of Northeastern Asia be to execute dance
upon her peaceful disposition" Japan will have
to plead guilty. But the rest Of the world will
scarcely regard 1t.
The fact is not to be disguised that the SYM
pathies of the world. with almost unprecedented
unanimity, are the Japanese side Of this dis
pute Not even France, the ally Of Russia, nor
Germany the partner of Russia in thwarting
Japan in 1895, manifests any active approval
of Russia's present course The nations of the
world recognize that in this battle Japan is the
champion of progress and civilization, scarcely
less than she was when she was fighting China
nine years ago. Such sentiment of the world
at large can scarcely be without its influence
upon the course of affairs at the very scene Of

The roll of fourteen tenants is then called and
answered to in whisper. and then they kneel
down and swear allegiance. Very many years ago
