WATCH CHlLDREN'S FRIENDS.

Fathers and Mothers Should Look
Into Boys Associations.
1t is natural and desirable that, to
a reasonable extent, children should
be allowed and encouraged to choose
their own little friends. However, the
mother should consider it part Of
her maternal duty to inquire into their
associations, both in school and out,
and to discourage such as do not ap-
pear entirely desirable.
Children do not-fortunately in one
sense-contract lasting friendships, as
a rule, and the more violent the at
tachment in it's beginning, the sooner
will come its ending; hence, it is not
often necessary for the mother or IA
ther to interpose and break off the
acquaintance in the abrupt fashion
that always arouses resentment and
often provokes disobedience.
When it can be avoided-and it al
most invariably can, If proper precau-
tons be taken-thiS Is not a wise rule
to follow; for in most cases the chill
dren thus thrust apart conceive and
nourish feeling Of anger against the
intervening power, while their affec-
ton for each other is intensified sim
ply through being forbidden.
The better plan is to follow up the
children's little acquaintances as they
are formed, and to gently nip in the
bud those that were best not formed
at all, taking care not to do this in a
way that seems arbitrary or unjust.
Some children appear to have an un-
fortunate proclivity for forming un-
desirable friendships-often because
of a too generous nature, which at
tracts good and bad influences alike
and is incapable of perceiving the es-
sential differences between them; and
such children, of course, require more
constant and careful watching and
training than the more trusy ones who
are less impressionable.
1t is not good for any child to grow
up without friends of his own choos-
ing, since these are more likely to be
after his own heart than any which
can be chosen for him.
Fathers, as well as mothers, should
look into their growing boys associa-
tons; for no boy can be trusted en-
tirely to follow his own inclinations in
matter which so closely concerns
his personal welfare, while he will,
if approached in the right way, feel
fattered rather than annoyed by the
interest his parents evince in his lit
tie affairs.

Lighthouse in a Desert.

A lighthouse has been established in
the great Arizona desert. Unlike the
lighthouses set for the benefit of mari
ners it is not a signal of danger, but of
safety.
Two years ago a couple Of desert
prospectors died Of thirst within a
short distance of the place where the
lighthouse has been established. Had
the light then been there they would
not have perished, for the light marks
a well of water, the only water within
thirty miles of the spot.
One life has already been saved by
the establishment of the lighthouse,
for an old German gave up the struggle
with heat, sand and thirst and lay
down to die This was just at dusk.
When it had become a little darker he
CHANGED to open his eyes and saw a
light. 1t gave him courage. He arose,
staggered on until he came to the light
and found water.
The lighthouse is simply tall con-
tonwood pole with lantern on the top.
It is tended by Joseph Drew, who
dwells in the little oasis and ministers
to the wants of travellers who pass
that way. The light is visible a long
distance across the plain in every di-
rection in the night time.

WOLVES EAT A RAILROAD.

The Hungry Beasts Devoured the
Rawhide Track.
About 1872 one Of the first railroads
of the Northwest was built in the Ter
ritory of Washington, from Walla
Walla to Wallula, along the banks of
the Walla Walla River, and following
the general line of what is now the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany's road between those points, says
c. f. Oliver, in Recreation.
The road was a primitive affair, and
was built, owned and operated by DR..
Baker, of Walla Walla- 1t had no
Pullman cars. chair cars or buffet cars,
and the day coaches were mostly plat
form or fiat cars. Instead Of having a
right of way the road had permission
to go through the fields Of the farmers,
consequently the road was not rapid
transit one as the train hands had to
get off and lay down the, rail fences
and put them UP again, after che train
had passed through, says the Anaconda
MONTY Standard.
The roadbed was constructed by lay
ing cross ties six or eight feet apart,
and on those laying wooden stringers
for rails. The heavy traffic over the
road caused the rails to wear in spots
were of daily occurrence. These were
not serious, for when the train crew
saw wreck coming their way they
would hop off and let it wreck.
The annoyances, however, soon be
came detrimental to the interests of
shippers, so the owner had to devise
some means of overcoming the diff
Guilty. Rails of standard railroad iron
We're out Of the question, they had to
be shipped 1.-The Horn around" and
freighted by wagon quite a distance,
and strap iron could not be had, and
the doctor, with Yankee shrewdness,
finally hit upon the happy idea of sub
stituting rawhide for strap iron. Cat
tie were plentiful and rawhide cheap,
so the doctor soon had his tracklayers
at work putting the rawhide on the
wooden stringers. The rawhide soon
became dry and as hard as iron and
answered the purpose admirably dur
ing the dry weather.
The winter succeeding the laying of
the rawhide track was a severe one for
that part of the country, The snow lay
on the ground for several weeks. The
wolves were driven from the noun
tains by the deep snow and skirmish-
ed for a living as best they could In
the valleys When the snow began to
melt it softened the rawhide and the
hungry wolves soon found the tracks.
When spring came and the snow had
melted the wolves had eaten up the
railroad track from Walla Wa11a to
Wallula.

A Lovable Old Woman.


You sometimes see woman whose
old age is as exquisite as was the per-
feet bloom of her youth. You wonder
how this has come about; you wonder
how it is her life has been a long and
happy one. Here are some Of the, rea-
sons:
She kept her nerves we'll in hand
and inflicted them on no one.
She mastered the art of saying pleas
ant things.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She made whatever work came to
her congenial.
She retained her illusions and did
not believe all the world wicked and
unkind.
She relieved the miserable and SYM
pathized with the sorrowful.
She never forgot that kind words
and a smile cost nothing, but are price,
less treasures to the discouraged.
She did unto others as she would be
done by, and now that old age has
come to her and there is halo Of
white hair about her head, she is loved
and considered. This is the secret OF
long life and a happy one.-Rich-
mond Palladium.

What Woman Owes to Man.
Mrs. Craigie, known to the literary
world as John Oliver Hobbies. may
make herself disliked by the advanced
women If she is not careful about ner
public utterances. At recent dinner
given by the Lord Mayor of London
to the Society of Journalists she re-
piled to the toast Of 1.-THE Ladies'. In
the course of her reply she said many
charming things about the accomplish
ments and the achievements of wom-
an, and then dulled the edge OF her
praise by declaring that woman owes
all she knows of the arts, and nearly
everything else, outside of domestic1ty,
to men, citing Angelica Kaufman,
George Sand, George Eliot, Charlotte
Bronte and others as examples. She
even went so far as to assert that
women would not go into the intellec-
tual professions and public life but
for the support and praise of men.
Warming up with her subject, Mrs.
Craigie asserted that 'the reign OF
great queens have also been the epoch
of great statesmen. The famous la
dies of great historical crises owe their
celebrity to the classic descriptions
written Of them by men. Great ac-
tresses, great players on musical in
struments, great singers, great scholars
and great writer's were all, without ex-
ception, first trained and taught by
men," And then. worst of all, in her
peroration she said as to woman's po-
sition in the world: 1--WE do not under
stand half of it or nearly half Of it.
We think of other things. But we do
as rule as we are told, and when we
are commended for doing it pretty well
we are just as happy as though we
were masters of the situation. We
know we are not, which is clever Of us,
and we do not wish to be, which is
cleverer STILL"
1t would take a bold man to utter
such sentiments as these, and he
would be hauled over the Goals more
effectively than was Bartle Massey by
Mrs. Poyser. Fortunately, it was not
a man in this case. 1t remains to be
seen how the emancipated women, the
advanced women, the club women, and
martial spinsters, will accept this fem
inine definition of the feminine rela-
ton toward the masculine tyrant OF
course, there are women who will
agree with Mrs. Craigie, but they are
the women in humble life, the old-fash-
ioned women, the domestic women, the
time spirited women, who usually do
as they are told and are glad to have
some one tell them what to do. They
are the vines clinging to the oaks. But
on the other hand, there are many
who are not clingers and who are rev.
cling in the joys of freedom, the pleas
ures of the clubrooms, and have door
key of their own. They are not the
kind that rest patiently under the ac-
cusation of doing as men tell them
