"I'll take what father takes.
The answer reached his
fathers ear, and instantly
the full responsibility of his
position flashed upon him.
In a moment his decision was
made; and in tones tremulous
with emotion, and to the as

JudiciOuS Praise.

No heart is insensible to
words of praise or the
kindly smile of appreciation;
and none are utterly above
being affected by censure or
blame. Children are particu-
larly sensitive in this respect.
Nothing can discourage a
child more than a spirit of in
cessant fault-finding; and per-
haps nothing can exert a
more baneful influence upon
both parent and child. If
your little one. through the
day, has been pleasant and
obedient. and you say to him,
"My son, you have been good
today, and it makes me very
happy" and if, with more
than usually affectionate
embrace, you say ''Good night
my dear child" a throb of
suppressed feelings fills his
breast, and he resolves on al
ways earning such approval.
If your grown son or daught-
er have accomplished some
difficultpiece of work, render
ing you essential assistance;
or have climbed some step in
the daily drill of study, or
have acquired some new ac-
complishment, or added
grace; or better than all,
have gained the victory
over some bad habit or be-
setting acknowledge it,
see it, praise them for it.
Let them see by your
added tenderness, the deep
joy and comfort il gives you.
Thus you will create a great
incentive to right conduct.
and lay a broad foundation
for character which shall
be redolent with succulent
fruit and fragrant blossoms.

There has also been some sen.
sational testimony regarding the
armor belt on battle ships. To
understand this it must be
known that the battle ships are
not covered all over with 8, 10 and
Il inch armOr but that there is
a band of this heavy armor
placed about the v,talS of the
ships. Some otfi'. r maint tain
that this band has reen placed
too low so that y hen the ships
are loaded down with coal for a
long cruise the greater part of
the band is under water. Other
claim that It is so high that when
the ships roll in heavy seas there
is exposed goodly portion of
their sides below the armor belt.
Which are rigt is most difficul
for an expert to decide, but as
the American ships are built
with "a variation of the position of
their armor, it is to be hoped
that some of them must be as
nearly perfect as marine archi-
lecture can make them.

The President and many OF
the Republican leaders are con-
yinced that the true solution of
the financial difficulties of this
country consists Of the establish
ment Of a central bank which
shall issue all currency, but they
are equally certain that so radi-
cal change can come only slow
~ and that it will take several
years first to educate the people
up to that idea and then to per-
feet so radical and far reaching
a measure in Congress. In the
meantime they feel that the
country must have some pro-
lection against money shortages
and they believe that the Aldrich
measure will afford that protec-
ton.

TattlepS.

make it their business to at
tend to everybody's business
| but their own. Such people
are the meanest specimens OF
depraved humanity which an
all-wise Providence permits
to exist on this green earth.
lit is we'll known that almost
every person is sometimes
disposed to- speak evil OF
others; and tattling is a Sin
| from which very few can
claim to be entirely exempt.
But the object of this article
is to call attention to that
distinct class of tattlers who
make tale bearing the con-
slant business of their lives.
Fortunately we have but few
| in this community, but no
community is entirely free
from them. They pry into
the private affairs Of every
family in the neighborhood,
they know the exact state of
ones neighbours feelings to-
wards another; they under
stand everybody's faults, and
no little blunder or misde-
meanor ever escapes their
vigilant watchfulness. They

when the golden knot will be

movement of parties suspect
ed of matrimonial int tons,
and if there is the slightest
chance to create a disturb
ance, excite jealousy, or
'.break-up" a match, they
take immediate advantage of
it and do all in their power to
keep people in a constant
state of vexation. They
glide quietly from gentleman

and into the ears of all they
pour their dark, bitter whis-

Notes From w ashington
From Our Regular Correspondent.

This week in CONGRESS- has
been a particularly dull one,
nothing of great interest having
occurred aside from the discus
sion of the Aldrich bill. which is
too technical for the general
reader. and the Investigations of
the navy by the Senate commit
tee devoted to that subject.
There have been rumors that the
Aldrich bill would fail of enact
ment but they were wholly un-
founded. There is every reason
to believe that while some Re
publican votes will be cast
against the measure, there will
be an equal mum Der of Demo
cratic votes cast for it, so that it
will encounter no serious diff
Guilty in the upper house.
In the House there is extended
although unintelligent. opposi-
ton to the Aldrich bill, but
Speaker Cannon is confident be
can secure it's adoption and when
the Speaker is sure of any
measure there is little occasion
for other people to become an
xious. He generally knows
what he is talking about. Repre-
sentative Fowler will make an
earnest fight for his bill but it
would have absolutely no chance
in the Senate. even if it could
pass the House. which is very
doubtful 1t is regarded as i'm.
perative. that some financial
measure be passed at this session
to guard against a recurrence of
the financial stringency which
the country suffered during the
last autumn and the Aldrich bill
is generally accepted as make
shift but as the best that can be
done this year.

Anthony himself taught her; he was a teacheh once. She was as peart as chain lightning; and he had bodies of books.
 Anthony went flat broke a few yeahs back; lost everything, including his grip. Some friend put in a word for him with the old man, and he came oveh hyah to hold up this station"
 "Is he going to keep her here al ways"
 No, that's fretting him. He told me on the quiet he was fixing to take her inside and put her to school this yeah in San Francisco"

JUST MERE PIECE OF STRING
The Important Part 1t Plays in
 Japanese Life.

Writing from Japan, an American says: You must come here to ap. preciate some of the quaint customs and usages which contact with other peoples has not yet driven out. To read about them gives you only a poor idea. For instance, did you ever know what an important thing a piece of string Is here? The children, workmen ldIers. servants, all carry pieces of string for use in case of emergency.
 With us the emergency would arise only when parcel had to be done up. put the Jap uses his piece of string as hrst aid to the injured, to repair a rent in his clothing. to fix a broken. down jinrikisha. to mend tools to take measurements and, in fact, tL- -irs Is his universal tool chest.

Alfred studied Gov Stanford's face keenly while the latter re-read Mir Huntingtons letter.
 It said in part; For three years have closely observed this young man and found him. l believe, peculiarly adapted to business of a delicate na- ture, for which we shall have growing need. He is older than he looks and wiser than his age. His character does not altogether show in his face, and few would suspect such slender youth of his capacity for the affairs you may require of him."
 Alfred was gratitied at what he saw in the governors eyes as he looked up from the letter.
 Young man, because of MT. Hunt ington's strong letter we're going to trust you beyond your years. It will

 'I reckon you two fellehs will have to take turns gyarding that team while we're gone, if you'd care to get away from hyah with yo' own hair on. Fiah two shots, wait minute and fiah one, if yo're molested."
 Gideon came in with an armful of wood. Alfred saw him answer the drivers unspoken call, saw both leave the house without looking al Stella, though her apprehensive eyes followed them through the door into the night.
 The simple supper of bacon, bis cults, potatoes, beans and dried-apple pie was on the table. Stella pushed up a short bench and beckoned to Alfred.
 He rose and shook his head. No, I'll let Nr. Cadwallader eat f1Ist," he

be a varied and difficult task Do you think you will be equal to it?"
 All that l can do, sir, is to promise my best effort and ask you to try me. "
 Can you take hectoring good na, turedly?" asked MT. Crocker You can't go far on such a shape as you have out west here; there's too much Harvard college and ballroom in it."
 The governor spoke at once. 'I be- lieve Vincent will safely weather re- marks concerning his shape; he'r be in cities most of the time, anyway"
 It's not nice work we're putting you to, Vincent" he continued. You'll have to meet craft with craft, scheme with scheme. And some of Cad. walladers schemes - they're the schemes of the men behind him, yet they don't sweeten in his hands-are far from savory. But we'll not ask you to do anything for us that's less than honest"
 That's only safe, sir You'd hardly crust me if l accepted other terms"
 Here's our cipher. Use it as sparingly as possible. No man can make cipher some other man can't read"
 Unless he changes 1t often enough" Alfred added instantly.
 The governor smiled and turned to the superintendent. 'I guess he'll do. Crocker.' His face relaxed, and Al. fred caught a glimpse of the genial, hearty citizen who won men to his enterprises through his faith-faith in both enterprises and men.

 We've a little barley in her, for tunately and some blankets for the mules; but the hays gone. You'll have to unhitch for a few minutes. won't you, Uncle Billy? They cant double without a little rest. can they?"
 Yes, but not for long. We've got to be at Malqneys in time to send help back hyah befo' day. The red devils amt through hyah; there's whisky left, and brandy, I see, and"
