TRAINING OF GIRLS.

Almost before they know it parents
find that their daughters have slippet
beyond their control. The spirit Of H.
subordination is in the air, and 1t Is
fostered by current educational theo-
ries. until what with the fear that the
dear child will have her "individua!-
ity" suppressed by hearing a good
round DON'T and what with the de-
sire to turn all work into play to level
every hill difficulty, even at the eN-
pense of never reaching house beauti-
full. many parents are hard put TO IT 10
force themselves to even an attempt at
discipline. Then some day they wake
ND to the fact that If their daughters
are to be controlled it must be by some
other hand than theirs. This be-whoiiy
their own fault. Or it may be partly
the result of those subtle antagonisms
of blood that sometimes arm children
against parents-kin against kin-and

sible, even in the presence OF loyal
love and trust. Whatever the cause.
when the home does not teach the les
sons G respect and obedience the girl
must learn them elsewhere or the dis
cipline Of life will find an unready and
rebellious subject. Sometimes. until
she goes away to school. the poor child
does not know what it is to obey.
Then the school, with its steadying
routine, its quiet insistence upon un-
questioning obedience, its unspoken
demand for respect for authority and
those in authority; lay its hand upon
her. and almost before she knows IT,
she is quieted, humbled. started to-

Potato Vines, Eject on Secretion oi MIX
s. W. Everitt. Stella, n. C.-Please
answer through your paper the follow
ing question: Do potato vines have
tendency to stop the flow or dry up
the milk in a SOW that is sucking
litter of pigs: Or will any bad results
follow the pigs? am told here you
cannot raise pigs il the sows are fed
on sweet potato vines. I can't see any
reason in it. as they will produce milk
and butter in COW.
Answer-I see no reason why the
use Of sweet potato vines as food
for a nursing sow should dry up the
milk: nor do l believe such would be
the result. 1 suspect that such belief
is one Of those traditions that have
been handed down from father to son.

men who loved learning and sought
after wisdom. The great mogurs pas

been shown 10y a whimsical experiment
lie once made to determine if it was
true, as he had heard, that Hebrew
was the natural language of all who
had never been taught any other
tongue
10 test this assertion Akbar caused
a dozen nursing children to be shut up
in a castle six leagues from Agra, his
capital city. Each child WAS reared
by dumb nurse. The porter also was
mute, and he was forbidden. upon
pain Of death, to open the gates of the
castle When the children We're twelve
years Of age .ikbar ordered them to be
brought before him.
Men learned in Sanskrit. in Arabic,
in Persian and in Hebrew were assem-
bled at the royal palace to tell what
language the children spoke. Akbar,
seated on his throne and surrounded
by these ling,lists, ordered the children
to be brought in. Each child was ad-
dressed and to the surprise Of the as

Not a child could speak word. They

CUHs'H.
Chicago Examiner. Sept. Y.

Chicago Examiner. Sept. Y.
In Wisconsin they have IA COVER
nor VINO shortly will be a senator OF
the United States by the name of
LaFollette. His strength in his own
state has been due to the fact that he
was wise enough TO sse that the old
Republican Organization was tied
closely to the railroads aud the mon
opolistic corporations He had cour-
age enough to fight these forces. He
had brains enough to So conduct his
fight that in his own strte he became
stronger than Senator Spooner and
Senator Quarles. They bad back of
them all the powers OF consolidated
capital They had, furthermore. the
prestige of sitting in the upper house
OF the United States Congress. He
had nothing except the conviction
that the railroads in Wisconsin Were
trying to govern the state and that 1t
was the duty OF some man TO block
has In several elections won.
Governor LaFollette is II Repubi-
can. The Examiner il a Democratic
newspaper. Nevertheless, we APP
plaud his course, and we rejoice that
from the State House at Madison he
is going to the Capitol at Washing
ton.
Yet the man who undertakes IA
work of this sort must beer in mind
that all the time the forces which he
has antagonized will be pursuing
him with inuuendo and with invec-
tive His enemies are the people
who control newspapers, and are
able To print those lies which travel
thrice as fast rs the truth. For in
stance, we have observed a dispatch
printed in many Of the Chicago
newspapers, bearing evidently the
earmarks of an Associated Press dis
patch. commenting uppn the fact
that Governor LaFollette during the
summer bad Leen iecturiug ut vari-
Gus Chatauquls and other summer
schools, aud that Ire had made out of
his lectures $4,000.
Perhaps he did. AS he has worked
for the people we hope he did. If u
man SO attracts the public that he
can deliver lectures aud get 5000
apiece fer them, it seems to be at
orable for bin To do this than, as
governor OF u great state, to get fiji
teen or twenty thousand dollars II
year AS the counsel for railroads and
other like corporations.
1t seems curious that a certain sec
tion of the press of ,he United States
is always willing to attack the public
man who frankly goes out to earn
money in a way which is perfectly
recognizable aud understandable of
all men; that this section of the
press looks upon such an attitude as
unulgnllieu, dHu even lgnolhihious'
and yet it is still silent or at times
eulogistic concerning the statesman
who will sell his talents, not to say
his influence, to some great corpora
ton as lawyer for large salary.
We are entirely ready to accept
Governor La Toilette, Republican,
who lectures for money, as against
Senator Depew, who is an attorney
for money.
