Mothers and Children.

Mothers wear themselves out and
do an injury to their children in not
teaching them to help themselves
and to be helpful to others. The care
that a child requires is very differ
ent from that which it may from in
diligence demand. If the child were
better for it one would not grudge
the time and WEAKNESS that the
mother or. nurse spends, but the
child is defrauded in the exercise of
those powers which can only develop
by being put into use. 1t is better
for a child to go to sleep by itself
than when it is rocked and sung to
sleep, but as a general thing mothers
prefer the bondage of the process
of wooing sleep for their children,
and so tie themselves up and add
to their burden without in the least
increasing the comfort of the child.
Mothers would spare themselves
greatly if they would only learn
that training of the child begins
with the earliest weeks, and that
they can make the child understand

A little boy was keeping his sheep
one Sabbath morning. The bells were
ringing for church, and the people
were going over the fields, when the
little fellow began to think that he,
too, would like to pray to God. But
what could he say? for he had never
learned any prayer. So he knelt
down and commenced the alphabet
"A, B, c, and so on to u. A gen.

But what were you saying your
letters for?"
why, I didn't know any prayer,
only felt that I wanted God to
take care Of me, and help me to take
care of the sheep. So I thought if

together and spell all I want"

Why He Lost His Friends.

He was always wounding their
feelings, making sarcastic or funny
remarks at their expense.
He was cold and reserved in his
manner, cranky, gloomy, pessimistic.
He was suspicious of everybody.
He never threw the doors of his
heart wide open to people, or took
them into his confidence.
He was always ready to receive
assistance from them, but always too
busy or too stingy to assist them in
their time of need.
He regarded friendship as a lux
ury to be enjoyed, instead of an
opportunity for service.
He never learned that implicit,
generous trust is the very founda-
ton stone of friendship.
He never thought it worth while
to spend time in keeping up his
friendships.
He did not realize that friendship
will not thrive on sentiment alone;
that there must be service to nour-
ish it.
He did not know the value OF
thoughtfulness in little things.
He borrowed money from them.
He was not loyal to them.
He never hesitated to sacrifice
their reputation for his advantage.
He was always saying mean things
about them In their absence.
He measured them by their ability
to advance him.-Exchange.

To the Father of q Boy of Fourteen.
II you are the father of boy in
the early teens it may be worth your
while-and his-to have you note
what President G. Stanley Hall says
of THE Awkward Age" in the cur
rent Appleton's Magazine. Here are
two paragraphs that strike us as
particularly pertinent and needed:
Before the early teens" he says,
"boys are interested mainly in each
other. and are almost oblivious of
grown-ups, who belong to another
world. Now this is often very sud-
denly and radically changed. Inter-
est in the world in which adults live
and move and have their being bour-
geons forth. The lad begins to
stretch and tiptoe up to mans es-
tate. Nothing in the world so shapes
and moufds his very soul and char
acter as quiet, confidential talks with
grown men about the things they live
for and amidst. By such talks he is
fiattered, stimulated, aroused to do,
be. think, feel his very best.
Now it is just this moral father
hood that the world, and especially
America, is most deficient and prac-
tically sterile to-day The parent
who will, at some opportune time
talk to his boy alone about his most
| intimate views and sentiments con-
corning men, morals, affairs, life,
plans, and all without arousing the
ever-present, haunting thought that
he is talking down, or for effect, or
/ with reserve, will be simply amazing
at the appetite and assimilative pow
er of youth, and at the influence that
he can exert, even though he be edu-
Gated in the schools, by simply shar-
ing the lessons that the school of
life and men has taught him. There
IS practical wisdom and insight that
nothing but years, age, and expert
ence can give; this is what the boy
fairly Graves and digests with amaz-
ing rapidity, and in so doing grows
by leaps and bounds. The father
who has never discussed such things
with his son knows not what the
true, higher parenthood is or means,
and so is himself arrested in his de-
| velopment, and is arresting that of
his boy"

SULPHUR Bleach for Fruit Stains.

Sulphur Bleach for Fruit Stains
Stained table linen follows the re-
turn of the fresh fruit season as
surely "as night follows day" For
removing such stains there is nothing
more effective than the sulphur
bleach. Lay a spoonful of sulphur
on plate, and sprinkle with a few
drops of alcohol. Over this place a
tin funnel with the point upward.
Touch lighted match to the alco-
hol; wet the stained linen, and hold
the spot over the opening in the
point of the funnel. The sulphur
fumes will remove the most obstinate
stain, seldom requiring more than
one application. Rinse and wash the
linen at once, to prevent rotting the
material.-Woman's Home Compan-

TO WHOM THE CASH I?
City Has 1888 Taken in for
Vendors License Fees, and
Status Is Doubted.

Now that Judge Tyner has decided
In a test case that the vendors llcens-
ing ordinance, which the board OF al
dermen passed, Is void, because the
board delegated It's powers, which It
could not do, II is an interesting ques-
ton what shall be done about the H.
cense fees which have been collected
by the city under the ordinance. AS a
matter OF strict law it would seem that
the city has no right to retain the
money but It has not been decided
whether It shall be refunded or not.
Most OF the fees were from nifty cents
to S. In range. only one reaching the
amount of ten dollars, so that 1t would
scarcely pay any single llcensee 10 sue
for the return II the city fails to make
return. Nevertheless. the sum In full
amounts to quite an item. The tax Of
fee has figured up the amount collected
from this source, and finds that Il
totals s1,5S3 1t Is claimed by. some
that the only fees that will have to be
refunded will be those who paid under
protest Nevertheless 1t hardly seems
that they are entitled to get their
money back any more than the Others
If all are TO be required to pay again
when a new act is passed. The quec-
ton will probably be put up TO the le-
gal department OF the city TO determine
the status OF the money and TO settle
the matter OF refunding It.

VENDOR ORDINANCE VOID.
Judge Tyner Discharges Men Arrest
cd for Violation.

Judge Richard II. Tyner In the po-
lice court yesterday upheld the demur-
rer of the two peddlers, Isaac Maranis
and Louis Wells, to the new ordinance
prohibiting them from vending with
out a license, and declaring the ordi-
nance void, because It leaves the FIX
ing of license fee and the period Of
expiration entirely with the chief Of
police.
While the victorious vendors and
attorneys hustled from the court room
with an expansive smile, It is evident
from the decision that little doctor
Ing of the act will restore the ordi-
nance. Until this Is done, however,
no arrests can be made for peddling
without license. Wells and Maranis
we're arrested last week and Attorneys
