TRAINING IN USE OF MONEY.

Training in responsibility and judg-
ment in the use of money is within the
reach of every family, even the poor
est. / have never seen children so
poor as not to have spending money.
To be given the responsibility for the
spending, saving and giving away of
this money, in increasing amounts,
according to the age of the boy, and
the circumstances of the family, is
one of the most educative of expert
ences-Prof. w. L. Hervey, in Chau-

Black Fridays.

The American Black Friday was
September "a, 1869, when Jay Gould
and James Fiske, Jr, attempted to
create a corner in the gold market.
The whole country was in a ferment
for seevral days, but the day was
saved b ythe report that Secretary
Boutwell, had thrown $4,OO0,O00 on the
market. The English Black Fridays
are two-one the Friday on which the
news reached London that the young

Quick is the succession Of human

we lie down at night we may safely say
to most of our troubles: "Ye have

Quick Lunch UnheaIthful.

Sir William McEwen, professor of
Glasgow university, is late authority
for the view that "the quick lunch is
a health destroyer. In an address to
the Charing Cross Medical school of
London, he said that people seemed to
act as though food should be thrown
into the stomach as a sandwich into
the pocket" He complains that mas
tication is MT taught in schools" and
says it is time that certificates should
be given in schools for sound diges-
ton. Instead of doing that, we APP
point royal commissions to inquire
into the causes of physical deteriora-
ton of the race"

Goodhue, who became pastor of the Con-
EDUCATIONAL church i'm Townshend about
1850, and continued as such for n number
Of years. She was then ii years of age.

tive in many ways in the community

his business to w. S. Holland about 1890
and retired to Amherst, Mass, where he
died n few years ago. Mrs Winslow con-
tinued to live there until her own feeble
ness of health rendered 1t advisable for
her to go to the home Of her only daugh-
ter, Mrs. Brainerd, in South Orange,
where she died June %.
Mrs. Winslow possessed an eminently
sunny and social disposition, and was
highly esteemed in family, church and
community. For many years she was the
teacher of the young mems class in the
Sunday school. and greatly influenced for
good the character of many who belonged
to the class at different times. She was
very tactful in her management, and all

Study the Scriptures and shakspere.

Another fine utterance of the present
commencement season is that of Dr. Tai
colt Williams, who made the principal
address at Mt. Holyoke. In his plea for
more self-culture, particularly among the
young folks, he laid down the proposition
that the boy or girl in some plain family
whose reading and writing and arith-
metic have been gained in scant measure
and piecemeal teaching, who has twice
daily heard a chapter of King James
version read, morning and evening, at the
family altar, is more likely to reach the
age or II or Is with a capacity for ex-
preston, and what is as important. the
capacity for criticism, than the common
schooled child, who has had small teach
ing and small books in the perpetual
round OF deadening routine. If daily

but never less, one turns to the Bible

Complaint About the Fourth.

The following has been handed in for
publication: We regret very much the
hoodlum spirit which ushered in the
Fourth as 1t harms no one so much as
the boys themselves, and 1t is plain to be
seen what this lawlessness If not checked
will lead to in the future. We have
in the past listened to the ringing OF the
bells and inharmonious sounds on these
occasions without complaint. but when
private property is invaded this Is en-
tircly a different thing, and is as much
trespass as at any other time of the year
We venture to say that there is not an
adult person in this village but what
feels an interest that our young men
shall possess that manlness and nobility
of character that will ensure them of
success in life, and as this "hoodlum"
spirit has never been carried to such an
extent before we felt that "A new element
had entered in this year to make things
so different from the past. We had look
eel upon our village boys as far too manly
To do these things and as those who
thought too much OF their good name to
commit the acts here referred to briefly.
