Grammar of the Home.

In many families the education o.
the children is committed almost eX
clusively to the schools, and this suf
ficiently accounts for the atrocious err

where we might expect better things
It matters not how faithful the teach
er may be, the child will inevitably
initiate the Language heard at home
and forget the instruction Of the
school When the child hears incor
rect language in the family and i'm
bibes it freely from vicious books he
is probably going to speak ingram
matically as long as he lives. a
writer on the educational process says
that the years from eight to twelve

The Lady and the Tramp.

Mrs. Alden was a clubwoman. Her
particular fad was the moral elevation
of the lower classes. She was engaged
in writing a paper on the subject when
the cook came to tell her that rough
looking man at the back door wanted
some breakfast.
"Give him a soup ticket" said Mrs.
Alden. Then, with sudden thought
mo, wait. III see him myself"
She went into the kitchen. MY

some wood, II give you good break

Certainly. madam" said the tramp,
very elegantly, as he disappeared in

five minutes he reappeared. I'm ready
now for that breakfast" he announced.
Have you sawed the wood in such
short time?" asked Mrs. Alden, coming
again into the kitchen.
Eyes, madam" he answered. Then,
between huge mouthfuls: Excuse me,
madam, for correcting you, but you
should say, Have you seen the

DYsPEPTIC PHILOSOPHY.

Most OF US have trouble to lend.
Love will find a way, even a way
out
Fortune doesn't always smile on the
funny man.
Success is doing thing before some
one else does it.
Marriage is the gateway from TO-
nance to reality.
Fortune never knocks at some doors
because it can't get by the janitor.
1t doesn't pay to 60 entirely on the
theory that things 60 by contraries.
The woman who dresses better than
her friends will never be popular with
them.
Those who have greatness thrust
upon them seldom know what to do
with 1t.
The fool and his money are what
keep the rest of us from starving to
death.
Riches have wings, but they are not
the kind of wings that are fashionable
in heaven.
Lots OF wives never understand why
their husbands should need any spend
ing money.
Some men are so fond OF sympathy
that they actually glory in being the
under dog.
II a man would only pay his debts
as promptly as his grudges his credit
would be better.
When a girl begins to ask fellow

NEW RUSSIAN MINISTRY.
Policy on the Agrarian Question is
Reported.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 6.-The Asso-
ciated Press is enabled to give tonight the
policy of the new ministry on the all-im-
portant agragrian question. The govern
ment will not attempt to dictate to or even
direct the parliamentary majority. In
stead 1t will propose the formation of a
parliamentary commission upon which the
responsibility of celebrating an agrarian
project will fall.
This is virtualiyc equivalent to accepting
the decision of the constitutional democrats.
Furthermore, the government will offer
no objection to the institution of universal
suffrage. AS a matter of fact, the parlia-
ment will be permitted to act freely as long
as 1t does not assail the fundamental laws
of the Russian state. The emperor may,
however, interpose in threatened impeach-
ments by the victorious majority of gov
eminent officials.
The exact composition Of the new Gore
myikin ministry has not been finally decided
upon, but the appointments of Izvolsky.
foreign minister; Stischinsky, minister OF
agriculture; Rukloff, trade and industry
and Schwanebach. minister of agriculture
may be regarded as certain. Kaufman
may supplant Gaiitzin as minister OF in
struction, and changes in the minister OF

ccvised and managed the fete given for
haritable purposes, including aid to the
San Francisco sufferers, Friday last at
Friendship" the country home of Mr..
and Mrs. John r. Mclean. The pleasing
result was foregone conclusion. No one
acquainted with the plans for the rare
and artistic exhibition which was given
had the slightest doubt from the first
that large numbers of the good people of
Washington would avail themselves of
such an opportunity to combine duty
with pleasure. 1t was only necessary to
give the attractive and beneficent scheme
sufficient publicity in order to secure
certain success.
At the gate the visitors paid willing

curing admission to very attractive ex-
hibition they were starting their coin on
the way to San Francisco. The amount
received at the entrance - 81 1876 - has

RADICALS DEFEATED.
Extremist Wing of Russian Demo-
Gratis Lost to Moderafes.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 5.-The extrem-
ist wing of the constitutional democrats
went down to defeat tonight before the
smoothly working machinery of the central
committee, whose resolution defining the
program of the party as introduced by Prof
Milukoff yesterday was adopted. The rad
icals fought to the bitter end the tyranny
of the ring" but the moderates had the
votes and won.
They Immediately followed up their VIC
tory by introducing project of party or
ganization, which places the control of both
the policy and the tactics Of the party In
the hands of the national congress and it's
executive arm. the central committee.
The members of this committee not only
dictate the program of congress, but also
voice the vote of all caucuses of the various
political parties in congress. This project
probably will be adopted tomorrow al
though the opposition to it will be even
more bitter than that displayed today.
