MateriaIism In Children.

It is perhaps not unnatural that the growth of fortunes should bring the facts of life early before the minds of children and that as a result there should be tendency toward material ism in even a child's point of view. Not long ago heard two girls of six and seven talking on a country road. They were children whose parents were amply able to give them what ever they thought best for them to have. The first child said: How can we make some money? I tell you what, Mary, we must sell your radishes as soon as they are ripe" Mary an- swered sadly: T wish Aunt Susan were here. She buys radishes like the dickens" Now, these children at this early age were discontented with their weekly allowance and, finding that they could not get more from their par ents, decided to sell to the neighbors. and their parents. wishing them to de- velOp themselves and to learn by ex- perience, did not prevent their doing so-Louisa McCrady in Atlantic.

Tho stock market stood up splen- didly against the recent storm, says Banker Clews. Fortunately liquida- tion in the security market has strengthened the market against fur ther attacks. There is now no room for panic The effect of this collapse has no doubt reached the climax in financial circles, and it now remains to bc seen what the effects will he in industrial and mercantile circles. It is not to he supposed that the pro- cess of readiustment is complete. lt is likely to go for some time to come. Probably some recovery may ensue later on in the security markets. but the fact that we have fairly entered into an era of business reaction may as well he accepted Contraction must follow. and if commercial cmbarrass- men's multiply they must be accepted philosophicalIy as part of the geneT- al reaction. Prices in the c0mmndi- ties markets will now have to take their share of the decl:ne. Extraya- gance will cease and economy will be- come the order of the day. New en- rerprises will be suspended for some time to come and there will he a less ened demand for b"th commodities and labor. This part of the process of readjustment will be unwelcomc. but 1t is inevitable and is fhe only way for a substantial re-esr ablish- ment of confidence. By means of such we should reach lower and more stable basis for a business revival later on.

NEW ZEALAND MAGIC.
A Native Story of the Power of the
 Tohunga.

A Native Story of the Power of the
 Tohunga.
 From New Zealand comes the follow. ing weird yarn:
 "The tohunga (native magician) was even credited with the power of in. fluencing the dead. The present writer was a witness of the following incl dent: A branch of the Arawas, the tribe of the district of Rotorua, being at war, had suffered defeat, and one of their braves had been brought home dead. The vanquished sought at once to find out by some omen connected with the dead chief whether they would be successful in their next en- counter. The tohunga was requested to procure the desired omen, the peo- pie squatting in ring about the bier. Advancing a few paces from the dead body, the priest began to recite a powerful incantation, intent on mak- ing the deceased give some sign, the eyes of all present being fixed on the slain warrior. Presently the corpse was observed to move slightly to one side, on which great cry of joy rose from the people. The movement was interpreted as a sign of future victory. This feat was often performed by the tohunga of Olden times" - Chicago News

Speaking of trusts writer in the Engineering magazine says that the usual methods of procedure adopted by the German syndicates are for a number of experts to visit each of
 the works associated, to ascertain it's
 capacity of production and it's apti-
 tude for any special class of work.
 Orders. being received by the central
 offices, are then alloCated and remit
 ted to the several establishments, re-
 gard being paid to the situation and
 circumstances of the various firms so
 as to avoid waste, overlapping and
 unnecessary delay. And not only are
 prices fixed and orders allOcated by syndicated agreement, but payments
 usually pass through the central off
 ces Moreover, the syndicate frequent
 ly attends to times, methods and costs of transit, and many other matters, with the greatest possible advantage to it's constituents, for it's expert off cials are better informed than the private manufacturer immersed in the technicalitics of his own particular works can hope to be. While differ ent syndicates have different rules some allowing their members more liberty of action than others-these may be taken as the general outlines of the working of German iron and steel syndicates.

 Jolly of Lake, all members of the commission, went to the farm yester- i day to conside" improvements. They
 were fully impressed with the i'm pOrtance of their task, which is to commemorate the memory of Abra- ham Lincoln by beautifying the burying ground of his mother. They viewed the ground and talked of a new fence and landscaping and then, just at the entrance of the farm, they saw carpenters busy erecting a small frame building.
 What is this building for?" asked Mir Freeman. as the three commis- sioners approached the busy scene.
 This is the saloon" replied one of the workmen. tersely, without in- terrupting the strokes of his ham, mer
 The commissioners immediately served notice on the board of county commissioners of Spencer county, that they would oppose any move ment to establish a saloon near the Nancy Hanks Lincoln farm, which is to be a beautiful park. Written notice was filed with the Spencer county commissioners. and MT Free man said recently that the commis- sion will oust the saloon if it has to resort to a remcnstrance. He hopes, however. that :he license will be re- fused by the county commissioners. The case comes up in two weeks.
 According 10 MT Freeman, man who formerly owned saloon in Lin coln City. the small town near the Nancy Hanks Lincoln farm. is be- hind the movement to establish the sa loon near the farm. Lincoln City. which has 20O inhabitants, is in two townships. The saloon formerly owned by this man was not in the township in which the farm is situ- ated. It was put out of business on a remOnstraace.
 We do not propose to have any saloon near the farm" said Mir Free man. and we will not spend a cent of money toward beautifying the place until we are sure the saloon will not be established"

Ludwig Nissen, chairman of the Diamond Importers association GUS toms committee, says smuggling by rich people who visit Europe, has as sumed colossal proportions. He de- clares that as much jeWelry and pre- cious stones are smuggled every year as is brought in legitimately. The value of the latter class is between $2,OO0,00O and $4,0OO,OOO. Maiden Lane importers are starting a move ment to have smugglers punished more severely. Too much leniency is now extended to smugglers caught.

RELIC OF THE OLD DAYS.
Wethersfeld Home Presented to the
 Rev James Lockwood,

The house that was presented in
 1167 to the Rev James Lockwood
 pastor of the Congregational church
 ill Netherstield, is one of the old land
 marks ill that town. It is located on
 the road running north from the Con-
 2regational church and the grounds
 adjoin those of the Episcopal church.
 In fact the latter was built on land
 that originally belonged to the Rev
 James Lockwood. The house is of
 the gambrel roof type and is in q | good state of preservation. inside and
 out, The old panels on the inside and
 the Colonial fire places constitute a | study in themselves. In one of the main rooms on the north side the
 ancient fire place is ornamented with tile imported from England. These tile are Singularly interesting. They
 represent rural. town and maritime
 scenes. Not one of the number has been injured during the 40 years that
 they have been in use. A high value
 is set upon them. The fire place in
 the corresponding room on the south
 side of the house was also Ornamented
 with English tile. But they were dis
 mantled years ago and sold to curi- osity hunters.
 Back or the main rooms looking out towards the roadway were two rooms originally extending the whole length of the house. Modern requirements have divided these rooms and the old Colonial oven has been bricked up and can only he seen in the imagina- ton.
 The outside of the house has not been changed materially since it was built. The outlines are wholly un- changed For three generations the property has been owned by the Har- ris family in Wethersfield, Henry Harris who was member of the leg islature in 1857, was the first one in this family, who owned it. From 1 him it passed to his son, Marshall | Harris. The latter left two sons, Henry A. Harris and Luther Robbins | Harris and two daughters, Carrie | Tudol /wife of George Royce of | Hartford and Annie. wife of Fred | erick W. Weldon. also of Hartford, | In the division of Marshall Harris's 1 property the Lockwood house went | to Luther Robbins Harris, who is still it's owner. He is one of the 1 Travellers representatives in New | York. but has bachelor quarters in the old home in WethersfeId. Henry i A. Harris has his home on the south, the Lockwood belongings.
 This ancient landmark was built ] by subscriptions from the Rev James LockwOod's parishioners The sub Scripti0ns were from days work to be paid in standard money" current at that time. The original subscription account came into the possession of beacon James Lockwood of this city years ago. Deacon Lockwood was a Iinral descendant of the old time di- vine Al the time of Deacon Lock woods death the list passed into the hands of Captain William H. Lock wood, who is now it's owner. It is Il document of great interest from whatever point of view it may be ex- mined. No doubt most of the parish were subscribers. The list shows prac- ically the membership of the church n l7G7. cight years before the hegn- ling of the revolutionary war. The ist also shows the ancestral names of many of the Wethersfeld families of he present time
