That the American boy is not
naturally bad, but that his charac-
ter is fixed by education and train
ing, is the position taken by Rev.
DR.. Grannis of Pittsburg, who has
been making some interesting sug-
gestions 10 parents from his pulpit,
says the Spokesman Review One
of the important hints which he
throws out is that great care should
be taken in the use Of lang uage by
the parent TO the child. An inter
esting Illustration coming under his
own observation is given. Passing
home where thee children play
ing in the ward had become involved
in dispute he heard the mother
from All open wlnaow exclaim:
"You little devils, what are You
! doing?" Ii was of course to be
expected that there should be a
striking resemblance betwee moth
er and children. But this was, 1t
must be hoped, an exceptional
method of parental rebuke to child
rem.
Nothing has, perhaps, become
more apparent in recent years than
that parents and teachers are be-
coming more alive TO the lmp1r-
lance of exercising wisdom in the
correction of the boy. To punish
for an accident as severly as for q
wilfull wrong will often be more
harmful than occasionally to over
look the w lful wrong. The dis
position to wrong doing, DR.. Gran
mis- holds, is more result OF educa
ton than of faint of blood, but h
probably does not entirely abandon
the old doctrine of transmission o
evil tendances. Whet Ter the evl
in the boys nature comes from edu
: cation or heredity, there is the sam
necessity for CAREFUL and intelligen
, treatment.-Pocatello Tribune.

The 1906 Crops.

Wien the statiStican gives figures re-
gardins the country's crops they deal
with the great crops Of wheat and corn
in the West and cotton in the South.
These are the food and manufacturing
staples which mean SO much to mil
lions. The crops Of the East being for
home consumption, rather than for
general use or export, do not figure
prominently in these estimates and
comparisons. 1t is a splendid year for
all our crops from Maine to California.
but particularly in the great staples
mentioned the records of the past are
being broken and the usual famine of
freight cars-the only kind of a famine
feared in this favored lands assured.
Notwithstanding corn and wheat
crops are promised for 1906 by the de-
parthent of agriculture, while the cot
ton crop is predicted to be the second
largest. On the basis of the Septembcr
crop estimates made by the department
the wheat yield will be 1851 900 bush
els. the largest previous harvest being
as. 460. 600 bushels in 1901. The corn
yield predicted will aggregate 2.7S0. OOO. :
| 0oO bushels, the previous maximum be-
ing last years 2.707 $4,000. next to
The cotton crop is predicted to reach
| l2.J0G. 600 bales. an output second only
| to the l.. soc. 900 bales of 1901. far sur
passing the next highest record of H.
256. OOO in 1898
The year has been one of almost I'M
parallelcd prosperity in agricultural
| circles. To be true. three or four sea-
sons have found the existing records of
ore or two of the three crops surpassed
| but really only twice has the suprem-
aly Of each crap been 50 prominent. In
| 1883 the wheat crop ran 2S.600 900 BUSH
corn crop was l59. 100 900 bushels be-
ynnd any precedent. and the cotton
| crop was 5S1, 900 bales ahead of the best
| output of preceding years. Again in
| 1891 the wheat yield went 900
bushels beyond all records. and the cot
| ton crop was 344 900 bales ahead of the
| highest figure ever known before. while
| tie corn crop stood second only to the
| famous harvest OF 1883 In other years.
| such as 1898. while the wheat crop
| broke all records, cotton stood second
| in the list of years and corn but fourth.
| 1t is given but few times in the aver
age generation to find the records; for
the worlds two leading cereals to be
broken 50 badly as this year and the
| cotton crop to be 50 near to the record.
