Be Kind in Little Things.

The sunshine of life is made up
of very little beams that are bright
all the time. In the nursery, on
the play ground and in the school
room, there is room all the time
for little acts of kindness that cost
nothing but are worth more than
gold and silver To give up some
thing when giving up will prevent
unhappiness; to yield when per-
sisting will chafe and fret others
to go a little way around rather
than come against another: to take
an i'll word or IA cross look rather
than to resent it: these are the
ways in which clouds and storms
are kept off and pleasant, smiling
sunshine secured even in a humble
home, among very poor people, as
well as in families in higher station.
Much that we term the miseries of
life would be avoided by adopting
this rule of conduct.

Encourage Them To Go.

"Some women are always on the
go" is the extravagant remark one
often hears, and it is not often the
expression of envy. Strange to
say, these are those who think
that women do too much travelling.
Bless our souls, they do1't do half
enough. The woman who lives in
the four corners of her house, even
though she be intellectually above
the average and surrounded by
eridences of wealth and fine taste,
is necessarily more narrow minded
and bigoted than her sister, whose
mental vision has expanded under
the influence of new scenes and

Table Talk.

You will find that great deal
of characer is impaired and re-
ceived at the table. Parents too
often forget this; and therefore in
stead of swallowing your food in
sullen silence: instead of brooding
over your business; instead of Sc
verely talking about others, let the
conversation at the table be genial,
kind, social and cheering. Don't
bring disagreeable things to the
table in your conversation any
more than you would in your dish
es. For this reason. too, the more
good company you have at your
table, the better for your children.
Every conversation: with company
at the table is an education to the
family. Hence the intelligence
and the refinement and appropri-
ate behavior of family which is
given to hospitality. Never feel
that intelligent visitors can be any
thing but a blessing to you and
yours. How few have gotten hold
of the fact that company and con-
versation at the table are no small
part Of education.

Saturday night seems to have
the happy faculty of making peo-
pie human, set their hearts to
beating softly as they used to do
before the world turned them into
war drums and Jared them to
pieces with tattoos. On Saturday
night the ledger closes with a
clash, the iron door vault comes to
with bang, click goes the key in
the lock. 1t is Saturday night
and the business man breathes free
again. Homeward, no! The door
that has been ajar all the week
gently closes behind him, the
world is all shut out Shut out?
Shut in, rather. At home are his
treasures. after ALL and not in the
vault and not in the book-save
the record in the old family Bible
and not in the bank. Maybe you
are bachelor, frosty and forty.

nothing to anybody. Get a wife,

all, true-eyed Get little home

Moulding Wives.

1t is very true that almost any
husband who is afflicted with bad
wife, or imagines he is, has only
himself to blame for it; has only
proved his own incapacity for the
married life. A wife's demands
are usually simple enough, if not
just-and these complied with, she
is likely to be all the most exact
ing spouse could ask-to be loved
better than any one else in the
world. and to have her own sweet
way in all things. If she can
achieve the latter and without
seeming to do it, so much the bet
ter; she is philosophical enough to
be satisfied with the reality of
power. whoever has the semblance.
Besides, the majority of women
are married at an age when their
characters are still mobile and
plastic, and can be shaped in the
mould of a husbands will. At
least, so the husbands are fond of
fancying, and if, mistaken beings,
they are oftener shaped than shap-
ing, they are happy in.never know
ing it.

WOULD PROTECT
 COTTON PACKAGE
Will H. Woods, Secretary of Southern Cotton Association, Makes Some
 Practical Suggestions.

Atlanta, Ga, April 1S.-(Special,) )-Dr. Will II. Woods, secretary of the Southern Cotton association gives out the follow ing suggestions:
 The producer has been charged by the spinner with mistreGting cotton, in that he does not properly wrap the package and that the American package Is the worst of any package which comes to the mills. This Is not as it should be-.
 If one should follow the bale of cotton from the farm to the mills, and note the treatment 1t receives along the route judgment would place a large share of responsibility for its condition upon other shoulders.
 Most farmers take pride in making a neat package, and have the cotton prop erly wrapped and if we would only note the condition of the wrapping and the package when 1t leaves the farm, and then follow 1t along the route, and note its condition as it passes along the route, we would see who is re- sponsible for the damage. In the streets and exposed places 1t constantly accrues damages and bad looks. It is a shame the way some of the congresses of tho country treat the cotton which is sent to them for storage upon confidence and business good faith, because the shipper pays on this cotton storage and insur- ance rates which should be honestly ap- plied Is this always done to the inter- est of the producers and owners of cot ton? The buyer is protected because he insures his cotton against damage, and

 MT. Webster will be seventy-eight years old the coming summer. He was born in tion of that state which produced Presi- mate relationship with many of the ante bellum statesmen and the men who sub- sequently developed into the great figures of the civil war in both the north and the south. During the administration of President Pierce Hamilton Fish, father of Stuyvesant Fish, was United States senator from New York. MT. Webster met Miss Sarah Fish, eldest daughter of Hamilton Fish, and in 1860 they were mar ried. Later Hamilton Fish became member of President Grant't cabinet and frequently relied upon the advice of his son-in-law In delicate political matters.
 MT. Webster practiced law in this city for many years, and in the seventies and eighties was regarded by his fellow prac- titioners as one of the ablest lawyers of that period.
 In 1883 he entered the directorate of the Illinois Central railroad at the solicitation of his young brother-in-law, Stuyvesant Fish, and the same year MT. Fish got place for E. H. Hartman, then little known among railroad men, in the Illi- nois Central board.
 That was the beginning of the acqualnt- anceship between MT. Webster and MT. Hartman.

The Younger Vanderbilts.

Nineteen railroads center around the ex- ecutive offices in the Grand Central sta ton in this city They form what is known as the Vanderbilt interests.
 Three of the younger generation of the Vanderbilt family are in the service of the New York Central. Alfred c. is in the financial department and Cornelius takes to the shops and the construction department. William K, Jr., however, is the man to whom the nineteen rail- roads look to settle matters of policy and finance. He has combined both the fnan- cial and practical training. He has stud jed the modern methods of finance in Wall street, has been taught the details of syndicate building, knows how secur- ities are underwritten, and can transfer bonds with all the legal formalities. He knows quite as well what an electric To- comotive should be, how to ballast roadbed and build curves and bridges, and the difference between a standard and a ''cull' railroad tie. To this combination of experience and practical ability, the railroad officials say, is due the gradual change of their attitude at the board meetings from federation for MT. Van derbllt to serious deference and respect.

the insurance has been figured out by the buyer in the price which has been paid the producer for the product. The farmer, on the other hand, does not so protect his interest, and as a result the damages which accrue from this mis- treatment by the compress, handler and warehousemen Is charged to the farmer who is trying to hold up his cotton as- sociation and Farmers union, and secure for his cotton better price. He loses in damages what he receives in increase value.
 the warehouse men and insurance men must be made to treat on the square with the farmer of the south.
 Let the responsibility be placed where it belongs. We are responsible for our indifference to these conditions We are too happy go lucky in the condition of our business; but now in this progressive, busy age, 1t behooves every planter, farm CT and owner of cotton to see that the package has assessed against it no dam ages after 1t has left the gin in good shape; and he should also see that when he pays storage and insurance charges that he gets what he pays for.
 All of these matters are receiving the closest attention ot the officers of the Southern Cotton association. If any mem- Der or friend of the association, or a friend of cotton, who may know of such abuses. will notify my office, l will at once make the matter public and try to effect their correction.

BY SEWELL HAGGARD.

New York, April 13.-(SpeciaL)-I sat beside robust man with gray hair the
 other night. He couldn't have been more 1 than fifty, but he seemed to look upon
 himself as having been laid upon the l shelf.
 "Why, my son, who is only twenty-two, makes more than I do," he said. He has charge of a department of the Stand ard Oil company. He has an office and a stenographer of his own, and l tell you l what, I am proud of him." By general consent it seems to be the young mans day. He Is to the front in politics, at the bar, in Wall street, mer- cantile business and all the professions. It was just the other day that James J.. Hill, who is not yet seventy years old, re- tired from the presidency of the Great Northern, one of the greatest railroad systems in the country, and put his son in charge.
 Young Hill began at the bottom-as member of a construction corps. Then he learned the details of the shops and operating departments, went into the ex- ecutive offices of the railway in St. Paul, and was elected a director, and finally Q vice president His abilities, say those who know him best, lie in administra- ton rather than in finance. He knows a railroad from the ballast" up to the complications of elaborate freight sched- t1la
