The Mental Environment of the
Child,

The following beneficial article on
the above subject by Mrs. Walters in
one of our Christian weeklies, comes
very opportunity and for that reason
we reproduce it for our readers.
We certainly cannot be too careful
as to the reading habits formed by
the children. Now is the time to
train them
81 don't worry about Ray said a
mother. Hes a great reader. He
never gets into mischief; he always
has a book i'm his handr'
If you could peep over Rays Shout
der and see what kind of book he
has in his hand, you would think he
was likely to be in a great deal of
mischief some day, for the books he
delights in are of the cheapest class
of sensational literature, and are I'M
dermining his moral life.
Too often Christian parents pay lit
tie attention to the reading tier
that comes into the children's hands.
In this day of enlightenment in mat
tiers of health, nearly every mother
tries to guard her child's physical we'll
being. She orders his diet his hours
of sleep and exercise to the end that
he may grow up with a strong body
How strange that she should have
failed to give thought to this equally
important question of food and eXer-
else for the mind. 1t is no exaggera-
ton to say that people are ruined by
bad books, and bad and weak books
are so numerous now. We need to
remember COleridge's little parable
A friend was arguing that a child's
mind ought not to be predispOsed to
any one set of ideas; that the indi-
vidual should be allowed to grow up.
and then choose with freedom: but
COleridge replied that he thought if
better to predispOse a garden to bring
forth roses and Strawberries. lest
otherwise 1t should grow up to weeds.
There is a lesson for mothers i'm this
thought. Alas. every neglected garden
grows up to weeds. They require no
cultivation. and their seed is every
where. But if we want the roses and
Strawberries we must plant them. tend
them, and keep pulling out the weeds
that grow up to choke them. But are
not the flowers and fruit of child's
mind worth the trouble?
There is no such thing as leaving
the mind blank. even in the little
ones just beginning to talk We see
neglected babies picking up the slang

old Department:

EuttOT HOuS6HOtu department.:
1t has been in my mind to ask you
or some of your readers to furnish us
weekly bill of fare for Florida
hOusekeepers. L take a Northern
magazine which has the menus for
the north, but there are so many items
suggested that do not apply to Florida
and we grow threadbare on answer
ing the everlasting question, what
shall L do for breakfast, dinner and
supper" that it seems to me this item
would greatly help the Florida house
keepers. Mrs. Jones.
CIhis is worth our time and atten-
ton as the menus could be cut out and
pasted in our cook books and prove
valuable helps year after year. Who
Will furnish us the first weeks bill
of fare, ending Feb. 7th?-Ed.)

A Chapter on Oysters.

SandwicheS.-Ta thin slices of
sweet homemade rye bread, butter
them, and lay a fried oyster between
two pieces, each a little larger than
the oyster. These may be eaten
either hot or cold, and a touch of may
onnaise or mustard added if liked. If
they are to be served cold, wrap each
in piece of waXed paper.

There is nothing, no, nothing, in
nocent or good that dies and is for

or course. there Is no accurate fnforma-

to lessen their own liability It is Important
that some idea OF the condition OF such
companies should be known. 20 as the list
that Is made up represents the views OF
available, It may turn out that some Of the
concerns who are looked upon now AZ liable
to be obliged to iquidate In order to meet
their losses will not finally be In that class.
Several of the concerns mentioned DO
business in this CITY, and there il one espe-
cially that Is known as cutter OF the
rates established by the board of hre under
writer's that Is said to be badly hit by the
recent disaster.
1t Is held by some OF the brokers doing
business here and familiar with the local
situation that an increase. even II It Is gen.
eral. will not apply to this city. It Is
thought that since the last Increase In rates
on commercial risks that the cost OF fnsur-
ance is looked upon as sufficiently high.

NEW YORK. April 25.-One week ago to-
day Wall street. the country and the whole
world learned of the great catastrophe
upon the Pacific slope. and this morning
the various aspects of that subject con-
tipued to engross the larger part of dis
ousslon and interest The stock market
opened with an uncertain tone. after which
It developed increasing strength and ac-
tivity. only to relapse again toward mid
day into renewed irregularity.
The general reaction In prices about the
noon hour was caused largely by the publ
cation of unconfirmed dispatches from San
Francisco of a renewal of the earthquakes
and the creation OF fresh demoralizations
on the part of the people OF the afflicted
city. Previous to that time discussion had
been mainly occupied with the more recent
estimates OF the active fire loses last week.
and 1t was the general disposition to con-
slider that the first calculations had been
grossly exaggerated. Some encouragement
was derived also from the large reduction
In the transfers Of currency to the Pacific
slope as the falling off in that respect
was taken to indicate that the requirements
of the stricken communities were, for the
time being, supplied
A Strong Influence.
Beyond doubt strong influence In the
general rise in prices after the initial
transactions was the receipt OF advices
from Wilkesbarre. which seemed to inoi-
cate a distinct weakening on the part OF
the leaders of the United Mine Workers IN
their contentious with the operators. ms
led to a very lively rise In Reading and TO
lesser animation in he other anthracite
coal stocks. but these securities separated
In tho reaction In the early afternoon.
Later dispatches placed the situation IN
the anthracite district in a less reassurlng
aspect
There was little change today in the con-
ditions prevailing In the market for loans
on time but accommodation on call was
readily obtainable between 81 and AZ per
cent Sterling exchange was somewhat
easier, and the deposit OF securities at the
