THE TEACHING oF CHILDREN.

TiiE TEACHING OF CHILDREN.
What should children be taught
10 believe in order that, when they
grow up they may ind that later ex-
perience does not alter wat they
learned when younger: We must
teach them that, beyond What they
feel and see nd touch, there Is
something better and greater which
they can neither feel nor see nor
touch, unselhshness. giving up their
inclinations these are the best
things in the world. Il is true that
goodness and kindness have no faces
that We can kiss no hands that We
can clasp bat these are certainly
there, IN the midst Of our work and
our play. and this goodness and
kindness which, except IN outward
acts. We cannot see, is something
which existed before we we're born.
Il is from this that We have all the
pleasant things Of this world the
Aovers, the sunshine, the moonlight
all these we're given US by some
great kindness and goodness which
We have never seen at all. And
this goodness and love are that
great Power from whom all thinss
come.
Well assorted marriages are es.
seniial 10 good homes. This is ma
lures lav 10 the case. To violate
Ii isto bring swift punishment on
the heads Of the violators, as well
as 10 bring a curse upon posterity
The husband and wife who are not
suited to each other lead cat and
dog lives. Their children are un-
welcome and grow up without care.
The home atmosphere Is not suited
10 the healthy growth Of virtue and
refinement. What Is the result {
A family OF ill-natured, quarreisome
unrehned children. They marry
and carry TO their homes the same
atmosphere aud rear other families
ike unto the ones 10 which they
were raised. The wonder Is that
there are as many agreeable and
cultured people in the world as there
are.

CHRISTMAS RUSH
ON THE RAILROADS
Began in Earnest To-day, and
Special Trains Will Carry
Passengers
CHRISTMAS DINNERS BY RAIL

The great rush of Christmas traffic
on the railroads begins to-day. Outside
Of the increased mails. which must b,
handled without delay, the railroads
win be confronted with the necessity
of handling an immense addition t.
their regular express business. Speciai
arrangements. have been completed hy
the Pennsylvania Railroad for handl
ing express service. promptly and with
out interference with the regular
trains on the Maryland. Delaware aud
all other divisions.
The company has made arrange.
ments TO haul on tho lines east or
| Pittsburg between to-day and Christ
mas at least 1000 extra carloads ot
express in addition TO the 400 cars
which are ordinarily handled eacli
week. The total express traffic. there.
fore, for the coming week will prom
ably amount to about 2,40O cars. which
If placed end to end, would make q.
train more than thirteen miles long.
and one to haul which would require
the combined power of 2i0 locomotives
SPECIAL TRAINS FOR EXpressage
An elaborate scheme for handling
this large extra movement has been
worked ont. This traffic is unique Ia
that it must all he handled on pas
senger train time, and yet not interfere
with any of the regular service. II
has been found necessary, therefore. to
carry practically all of the express
during the coming week on special
trains.
The heaviest movement Of the
Christmas season will he between New
York, Philadelphia. Washington. Pitts,
burg and Baltimore. In order that eX-
press for suburban points may also be
dispatched with all possible haste.
packages for places near Philadelphia
Pittsburg and other large centers VIII
be carried in through" cars to those
cities for local and suburban dlstribu
ton. Solid express trains will he
placed in service for handling the sub
urban business. IL is expected thar
thfs plan will eliminate all delays in
the delivery Of packages.
XMAS DINNERS SHIPPED.
A large portion of the extra business
during the Christmas season is IN
perishable products. such as poultry
oysters. and celery, for Christmas
dinners and other holiday entertain
ments. Shipments of turkeys and
poultry generally from New Jersey,
Delaware and Kentucky have ALREADY
started in great volume. and will con
time until the beginning of the New
Year During the next two weeks it
is estimated that at least one hundred
carloads Of this kind of traffic will be
hauled by the Pennsylvania Railroad
alone. To provide for shipments Of
oysters solid trainload of eight eX
press cars will be run from the East
ern Shore of Maryland every night up
until New Years Day.
Owing to the very decided increase
In express business since September
lst it is expected that this year
movement will be considerably greater
than that during the holiday season
of 1907. Several estimates have placed
the increase between 100 and 200 car
loads. In view of this the schedules
! arranged have been made elastic
enough to admit OF several sections o.
/ the special trains being run shoull
/ sufficient traffic be offered.
