Don't scold the Rahles-

Self-goVernment with tenderness
here you have the condition of all
authority over children. The child
must discover in us no passion, no
weakness of which he can make use;
he must feel himself %powerless to de-
ceive or trouble us; then he will rec
ognize in us his natural ~superiors,
and he will attach a special value to
our kindness, because he will respect
it. The child who can rouse in us
anger or Impotence or excitement,
feels himself stronger than we, and a
child respects strength only.
The mother should consider herself
as her child's sun, a changeless and
e~ver-radiant world, whittier the small.
restless creature, quick at tears and
laughter, light, tickle, passionate, full
of storms, may come for fresh stores
of light, warmth and electricity, of
calm and of courage.
The child sees what we are, behind
what we wish to be. Hence his repu-
tation as a physiognomist. Uncon-
sciously he passes under the inhu-
nee of each person about him, and
reflects it, while transforming it
after his own nature. He is a magni-
flying mirror. This is why the first
principle of education is: Train your
self; and the first rule to follow, if
you wish to possess yourself of a
child's will, is: Master your own
Exchange.

Nine-tepths of all the cloves used
in the entire world are grown on the
island of Zanzibar, but the people of
that country are so Indifferent that
it is impossible to secure the labor
necessary to gather the crop. The
wants of these people are very few
and they are generally without ambi-
ton above the qualification of their
most immediate wants. There are
few tribes in the world whose mem
bers are not at least spurred on by a
desire to possess a few personal orna-
ments, but not so with the people of
this island, for they are satisfied to
make S of the commonest shells for
this purpose.
In order to take care of the Glove
crop it is necessary to make use of
the prisoners which are hired out by
the government. These men work in
gangs of 10 and are chained together,
with a sergeant in charge of each
gang.
A man can live in luxury for a
month for the sum equal to one dol
lar, while the natives can exist in
their own way for a few cents fox the
same period.

HOW DEBILITY SHOWS
And Why DR.. Williams Pink Pills
Are a Specific for Dangerous
Physical Declines.

The symptoms of general debility vary
according to the but weakness is
always present, a tendency to perspire
and fatigue easily, ringing in the ears,
sometimes black spots passing before
the eyes, weak back, vertigo, wakeful-
ness caused by inability to stop thinking,
and unrefreshing sleep. The cause Of
the trouble may be some drain on the
system or it may be mental or physical
overwork, sometimes insufficient nutri-
ton due TO digestive disturbance. In
the latter case there is generally a loss Of
appetite and a coated tongue as well as
general languor and debility.
Miss Lula M. Metzger, a stenographer,
livingat II Mill street, WatertoWn, NY,
suffered for over a year from general
debility. sit was caused by overstudy,"
she says, land / had no ambition, didn't
want to go anywhere, my food didn't
taste good, l was run down, lifeless and
l~istless. 1 took medicines but they failed
to help me. Finally friends recom-
mended DIR. Williams Pink Pills to my
mother and she got some for me. / took
them for some time and was entirely
cured and have had no return Of the
trouble"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cure debility
because they actually make new, red,
rich blood, and as the blood carries
nourishment TO all the organs and tissues
of the body, nerves as well as muscles,
the new blood stimulates the organs to
do the work that nature expects Of them
and normal health follows. Not only
is this treatment sufficient TO cure de-
bility but many severe nervous disorders
as we'll.
The pills are sold by all druggists, or
will be sent postpaid, on receipt of price,
80 cents per box, six boxes $3.50, by the

of Theft.

A man who has been rihing the mail
boxes of at least one city has been
caught. He was apprehended as he
sought to cash a check he had found
in his loot. The fellow deserves a long
sentence, for in this peculiar form of
ness absent from some petty offenses.
To steal a letter with money or a
check within may be no worse than
other forms of larceny, but there are
concomitants that add to the gravity
of the act. The mail thief does not
discriminate. With access to a bag or
box, he takes whatever packets come
to hand, and those that are worthless
to him he casts away. The letter that
ueve m may lead to the tragedy
broken friendship. 1t may impair
credit. In Il there may be some mes
sage of priceless import. Happiness
and prosperity may have depended
upon it's safe delivery. About all these
things the thief has not a care. Mis-
sives perhaps more precious than their
weight in gold are to him rubbish. In
destroying them he may be doing a
greater actual harm than in diverting
negotiable property. Everybody is in
terested in the safety of the mails-no
less than others those who in
trust to them anything but written
words. When a letter has been prop
erly stamped and deposited, say the
Philadelphia Ledger, the sender has a
right to be secure in the belief that
it will reach it's designated place and
not be rihed by a wretched thief. If
such a thief is caught the necessity of
making an example of him is obvious.
Compared with him, the ordinary pick
pocket seems almost a desirable ele-
ment of society. He is the lowest type
of criminal vandal.

NEW MEXICO.
Journalism Of To-Day.
RED RIVER

H1AA " ~
The versatile Emperor of Germany
Is the latest critic of modern journal
ism. He deplores especially the lack
Of preparation on the part of those
who engage in the business of molding
public opinion. To obtain recognition
in the ministry. the law, medicine, or
even dentistry, years of application re-
sulting in tangible evidence of pro-
ficiency are required. This, he thinks,
is as it should be, but in journalism. he
asserts, a lad of 20 may sally forth,
baseless rumors, and forthwith pro-
duce and publish articles which may
set the world on fire. The Emperor
is not the only one who cherishes this
delusion respecting the method of
making newspapers. Even in this en-
lightened country, many otherwise
well-informed persons regard with a
species of awe the smart young man
seeking an interview. They behold in
him n who possesses mysterious
power and authority. AS a matter Of
fact, remarks the North American Re-
view, he is only a cleaner of wisps Of
information, which in common with
thousands of others find their way
into the winnowing machine. The mar
behind, unseen by his majesty and fell
low-critics is the editor. 1t is his intel
ligence and judgment, hardened in the
most severe school of mental develop
ment known to civilization, that deter
mine what shall or shall not be given
to the public. No other profession re-
quires so perfect a combination of un-
doubted integrity, alert intellectually
and dispassionate mental balance; nor,
in this country at any rate, does any
other calling possess these qualities in
so high a degree.

SEVERAL USES FOR SALT.
Of More Value Than Merely to Serve
as a Condiment.

Here are several uses for salt: Put
a pinch in the eggs you are beating.
and they will be light in a much
shorter time.
Sprinkle it on the fire and you will
gain the blue flame so much desired
for broiling steaks or chops.
Sprinkle it in the bottom of the
owe and your cakes will not burn.
Pour it quickly on spilled claret or
ink, and it win absorb most or ell
Of the liquid before it has time to
stain.
Salt makes an excellent toothpow-
der, but it is not advisable to use it
daily, as it will spoil the enamel If
used too frequently, Still, an occa-
sional brushing with it is recon-
mended.
Sprinkle it on the Goals and shake
your damp, uncurled ostrich feathers
over the fumes, and the tehdrils will
curl up smartly.
Battle your tired eyes in salt and
water and you will be astonished at
the strength it gives them.
A pinch of salt improves cakes,
candies, and almost everything-th
is cooked.

Mysterious Find.

When L. an Old Maid2

When does a girl become an old
maid? This question, blunt and shorn
of delicate %innuendo. is now figuring
in the somnolent discussion of Phila-
delphia society. One might say that
a girl becomes an old maid when she
fails to marry betimes, but that is not
the point. What is the exact year
that ushers in spinsterhood and closes
forever the gates of youth? OF course,
this is not a matter in which man
has any word to say. No rational
wearer of trousers would tempt fate
and the scorn of femininity by at
tempting a suggestion, for any arbi-
trary dead line would necessarily
bring down upon the luckless mascu-
line head a storm of Reproduction. 1t
has been left to the women them
selves to brave the peril. And they
have placed the age at 40 years.

New Hampshire Man singes Beard

ter, who owns a or two, and is
a barber, when occasion requires.
When Mount Vernon men want a
haircut they go to Milford or some
other large town.
There is one native Of the place,
a man of Sc years, who has neither a
beard moi a heavy growth of hair,
who does not leave town or enlist
the aid of a neighbor in "chopping
off" his locks. He is his own bar
Der, and probably one of the best
known characters in Mount Vernon
Jarvis Smith, or "Jarve," as he is
called. ''Jarve" has a unique meth
cd of removing his superhuous hair,
and while It is possibly original with
himself, it is not a secret. He has
no patent upon it. and rather prefers
others to follow his example, if they
wish to practice economy. The
process can be done anywhere, in the
parlor, on the street, in the field or
on the woodlot, and "Jarve" does it
when he finds it necessary, regardless
of where he happens to be.
Smiths method is by singing.
After dipping a piece of wood into
kerosene oil and igniting it he starts
to work. With the burning torch in
one hand, and using the other for a
fire eXtinguisher," he singes one
side of his face, then the other, the
upper lip and chin, and in that way
rids himself of all the hair on his
face, and while he crops it down about
as close as the average man does
with a razor, he very rarely burns
himself. The same sort of torch is
used to remove his supernuous hair.
Burn yOurself?" said Smith. "No.
If a man knows how to take his
whiskers and hair off in this way he
needn't be afraid of scorching his
face or head. l conceived the idea
some yea ago, and 1 would not take
chances with a sharp razor. Life

To keep chamois leather in good
condition it must be kept clean. When
soiled, take three pints of tepid rain
water and add four tablespoonfuls Of
ammonia. Leave the leather in this
for an hour, then work it well with
a wooden spoon, pressing out as much
as possible. When nearly clean, rinse
into another pan with tepid rain water
and rub well with the hands until
clean. Repeat the process in sew
eral waters until all the dirt is re-
moved. Hang in the shade to dry,
and rub between the hands until the
leather is perfectly soft.

TWO Meanings to slnn.

English actors now in London, after
touring the states" say that they
have been surprised at the rise in
prices in this country. One was
struck by the high cost of hair cuts in
the hotels. The story goes: Tired of
paying so cents to be clipped, and
seeing a sign exhibited to the effect.
First-class hair cut, rs cents he en-
tered and Vas attended to. At the
close he casually asked; How much?'
and was surprised to be asked for so
cents. He reminded the barber of
his sign outside. Yes, Stree said the
latter, the signs all right, but ay.
you haven't got arst-class hair!"

The more important things that
will make a sewing room a comfort
and a pleasure are an old pier-glass,
which can either be hung or mounted,
and if possible a piece of furniture Of
the dresser variety, which will give
a mirror opposite. This can be turned
to afford a %full-length view of both
back and front of the figure. A kitch-
en- table long enough to hold a skirt,
with an extra leaf along the back, so
that it can be made square for cutting
out circular skirts or capes is also
an addition. Then a scrap basket,
work baskets, and a hamper in which
to keep rolls of lining and materials
which may be wanted at any moment,
with a low folding table, a low and a
high chair, and the machine and
your sewing room is properly
equipped. The presence of a Judy"
or padded form, and a tree rack, on
which half-finished garments can be
hung, is also of great convenience.
