Child Training.

In an article in the Delineator for
October on the Education of Girls
as future Wives and Mothers, Mrs.
Theodore W. Birney describes d prac-
teal and very suggestive plan which
was adopted by one mother in the in
struction of her own children and
some little friends of theirs. She has
organized a club to which she will
give a portion of every Saturday, for
the instruction of the youthful mem
bers in cookery and other housewife
ly duties. To lay the foundation for
a thorough training in matters that
pertain to wifehood and motherhood,
each little girl will be given a doll,
presumably a few days old, which she
will be taught to battle and dress and
to do the hundred and one little
things necessary in the care of in
fants. The members of the club will
follow the babies through the various
slcknesses to which young children
sometimes succumb, and as the mag
mary baby-grows older, an interest
ing feature will be the introduction
of questions of obedience and pun
ishment, etc. This training will
doubtless prove of inestimable bene-
fit to the children, stimulating an in
terest in home matters and giving
them an understanding of things
which every woman should possess.
More clubs of this kind should be or
ganized.

Mothers Problems.

Is it proper to encourage babies
to "show off" before people ?-R.
M. B.
Certainly it is not. The growth
of any animal or any vegetable is
slow and singularly enough in 81
ence. I really believe that if any
mother eagerly anxious to do the
best for her child, would arrange to
have his eating and his sleeping and
his play, which with a baby really
means exercise, as near to the con-
dition of the little animal as posi-
bic, the benefit of the human race
would be untold. When one realizes
that in the first seven years of a
child's life more is learned and as
simulated mentally than in any 9th
er seven years of the mans expe-
~rience, it goes without saying that
conservation of force is absolutely
essential to health.
X X X
Ny children are very fond of
sweets, and 1 find it extremely diff
cult to keep them happy and deny
that necessity. My scheme has been
to make old-fashioned molasses candy
at home and give the little folks
some of that once in a while. But
although, as you told me years ago,
it was valuable in constipation, the
small persons get very tired of it,
and now because some one gave my
eldest sol a swarm of bees, the little
folks are daft over honey. Is it good
for them?-Mrs. Harris.
Certainly. Honey is very easy of
assimilation, and like all sweets, gives
warmth and energy to the organiza-
ton. It is a laxative as well, and
sometimes has been used in diseases
of the Undetermined, with such
trouble I have found it quite valu-
able. One of our very best cough
medicines, not necessarily curative,
but helpful, is made of a tablespoon
full of honey, two tablespoonful of
glycerine and the juice of a lemon.
It is quite soothing when the throat
is irritated, quieting the cough.
And so, if 1 were you, I would let
the little folks have the honey, as all
other good things in life should be
used, in understandable Pilgrim.

NORTHERN SECURITIES SUIT.
Judge Young Resumes His Argument
at st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, March 19.-Argument for
the Northern Securities Company IL the
merger case was resumed by Judge George
B. Young in the United States circuit court
for the district Of Minnesota sittins, here
at 10 o'clock this morning. Attorney
Young took up the reasons why the Bur-
lington system was purchased by the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern systems.
He pointed out that it was essential to the
transcontinental roads that they should
have some opening to the manufacturing
districts and the coal fields Of the middle
greater trade and the settling Of the vast
unoccupied lands Of the Dakotas and Mon
tana.
He then showed how the purchase was
completed long before the idea Of a COM
mon holding of the stock Of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern by a single
company. that at the time, as was shown
by the testimony of Messrs. Morgan, Hill
and their associates, the purchase of the
Northern Pacific was such colossal I'M
dertaking that 1t did not appear possible
However, the raid Of the Union Pacific in
terests to gain possession of the Northern
Pacific stock on May 8, 1900, showed that
some action was necessary to prevent its
reoccurrence. Immediately subsequent to
this there was a meeting of the representa-
tives Df the moneyed interests, which in
cluded the representatives Of the Northen
Racifics and the Union Pacific and Others.
whereby 1t was agreed that a holding COM
pany should be formed to hold the stock of
the Northern Pacific company.

.vAaARIEs OF THE YAK.
A Clumsy Beast Of Burden, but Sure
footed and Faithful.

From the New York Tribune.
1.-THE yak goes much his own way, no
matter how strongly his rider may twitch
the cord drawn through the cartilage Of his
nose. It is his wont to march doggedly on
with his muzzle close to the ground, breath
ing so hard that you can almost imagine
your ears arsbuzzt1tg with the sharp drone
of steam saw some distance away tearing
it's way through tttpber.'
So writes tho great Swedish explorer. DR..
Sven Hedin. who has travelled over a great
part of the AStatic continent on yakback
and therefore knows whereof he speaks
One day. while Dr.. Hedin was exploring a
glacier. the good and bad points Of his yak
steed were brought plainly out. The heavy
creature picked his way through the rugged
moraine. avoiding! ell holes and balancing
himself in marvellous manner on the sharp
edges Of rocks. : When a steep slope was
to be descended he would draw his four
feet rigidly under him and coast to the bot
tom. He stopped short when he chose. and
neither blowssnor coaxing had the slightest
effect. but after a. time he would grunt
cheerfully and proceed. on the interrupted
journey. A snowstorm overlook the party
later in the day. and though the explorer
feared that his steed might baiA again; he
showed excellent sense by making as rapid
ly for tfIB camp as hts legs could carry him.
He flung himself down declivities, dived
like an otter through the snow" says Dr.
Hedin. s"but. alas, sitting in the saddle was
like riding high sea in rocking, pitching
skir. Often 1 was obliged to fling myself
backward till my ack touched the back of
the yak, and had to adjust my balance to
all his unexpected movements"
One day he witnessed an amusing race
between yaks and camels in camp at the
Pamir mountains. The long-haired camels,
with their rocking humps, burst at once
into a wild gallop and deafened the by
ISLANDERS with their screams as they dashed
along regardless, Of the course laid down
for them. The 'yaks were, as usual, both
self-possessed and obstinate. Two Of them
declined to bulge an inch; another walked
quite away from the course; some made an
attempt to move sidewise; while one philo-
sophie pair slowly and solemnly stalked
around the course and came In as prize win
ners. 20 ~ IA .. ..
