DON'T ALWAYS SCOLD.
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
 OFTEN IS MUCH BETTER.
sIunders and Mistakes Usually Are Made Through Ignorance and the Firing Ones Are in Need
 of Help and Pity.

Many of us are apt to condemn too readily those who make mistakes and who do things that jar upon us. In all probability they are quite miserable enough when they realize they are in they need our cheer and sympathy; they want encouragement from us.
 They perhaps pine for words like these: Never mind: try again. You've failed, but don't give up hope"
 Those who deliberately do wrong or foolish things with their eyes open are. comparatively very small in number; most of the blunders and mistakes are made through ignorance. Therefore. one should not be too ready to con demn, but rather to help and pity,
 When we make mistakes we don't like being blamed and ridiculed for them. What we all do when we have blundered is to at once seek our own sympathetic friend and tell her all about our trouble. We usually get what we expect-wise counsel and sound advice.
 That is what the more helpful girl should always aim at-to be stand by" in time of trouble.
 ''I like So-and-So,' said a girl once- because when I make errors or get into a scrape with my work she is all ways such a grand little standby She doesn't call me silly or headstrong or come down upon me like a ton of bricks; she just listens to my troubles and then cheers me up and tells me how to avoid the same mistake next time"
 Are you standby to your friends when they are in difficulties, or do you upbraid them and then run away?
 The stanch, loyal girl makes excuses for her friends mistakes, and then sets to work to see how she can help her to mend matters.
 She does not tell her friends that So-and-So has made a ridiculous blum der. No; she is careful to keep it as quiet as possible, because the stand by girl realizes the, world is apt to misjudge the hasty girl and put her down as impossible.
 As matter of fact, all she wants is to be put on the right road with a. feeling that there is some one to back her up and be kind to her. We all know how humiliating it is to have our mistakes blazoned abroad by some one who thinks it is quite grand to take her friend down peg or two. Such behavior is really contemptible
 We should always be ready to put put the hand of help and sympathy to to those who want it. It is so easy to make mistakes and so hard to be sneered at for them. Determine to be a standby" girl-a girl who sticks to one who is in difficulties.

Euus of Leahorn Hens.

There are few physiological facts that are worth considering in this connection. If Leghorn hen weigh ing four pounds lays 200 eggs of aver age size in years time she is pro- ducing six times her weight in eggs. And bear in mind that egg production is not the same thing as production of flesh or milk. It is reproductive function Those 200 eggs represent 200 chicks, and under proper condi- tions will hatch about that many. This is task that is set for no other class of livestock. A COW producing 200 calves a year or a SOW giving birth to 1,S00 pounds of pigs year would hardly be expected to found a family in addition

Measuring the Stars.

No star has yet been found with a, parallax as much as one second of arc, and it Is practically certain that there exists none near enough to have that amount of parallax. In the south ern hemisphere there Is bright star, known as Alpha Centauri, with a par allax of three-quarters of a second (The distance of this nearest of all stars is about twenty-six millions Of millions of miles-nearly three mil- lion times as far from us as the sun. a. distance from which light would take four and one-quarter years to reach us. Something is known now of the parallax of some 36O stars, but in many of these cases the result Is ex- ceedingly uncertain.-Scientific Amer lean.

delightful exercise is not confined to the younger coterie as in American cities. In the United States only the waltz and two-step prevail at balls, and this is rather strenuous for those who have passed the heyday of youth. The Latins delight in the stately quad rille and various graceful adaptations of the lancers and minuet. The young girls and youths are splendid dancers, and frequently entertain a company by a solo with castanets and with tam bourine. There are dances which are common to the country, and when a distinguished Peruvian is a guest, it is considered quite delicate courtesy to have his special dance performed. The Ecuadoran dance is very pretty after the fandango style and danced without castanets.''

The city was from remote antiquity the capital of the Quitus, a semi-civilized race kin dred to the Quichuas or Incas of Peru, and the valley of Quito, next to the valleys of Mexico and Cuzco, was the seat of the earliest American civiliza- tion. The mass of the inhabitants are still of the same race, though they have adopted Christianity and the Spanish language. The modern city of Quito was founded by Sebastian BenaIcazar in 1884.

 some fairy land that always
 enjoyed the glorious climate A A of Indian summer, that season
 of ethereal mildness which places the genuine spring in the sec ond place? Such is the climate of Quito, the capital of Ecuador, which lies but a few miles south of the equator. It is situated among the most magnificent peaks of the lower Andes at an altitude of more than 5000 feet, and the effects of its proximity to the equator are so modified by this that the climate is probably the most spring-like in the world. In Quito they have perpetual Indian summer, glorious sunshine, soft tempered breez- es, and only occasionally the violent rainstorms which so thickly inter- sperse the year in the northern hem isphere. These delightful conditions have charmed Mrs. William C. Fox, wife of the United States minister to Ecuador, who says of the picturesque southern capital:
 We have lived in Quito during the transition period, and have seen it passing from one of the most pictur- esque old Spanish cities into a mod ern municipality. My first journey to the capital of Ecuador was made on a burro. It required several days, and though it has magnificent scenery and life in the interior is most inter- esting, yet leave it to any woman of my acquaintance if the experience xu0r1Id ba rolicbad mora fbon opoo Now the railroad has penetrated the mountains and comes direct from the seaport of Guayaquil to Quito. With the railroad, of course, have come all the progress and charge incident to it all over the world Bat Quito still re- tains it's ancient charm, though it is taking on some of the less attractive features of modern civilization. The streets have long been lighted by cleo tricity, but it has been until now a city of two-storied houses. There are plans afoot to begin new residential addi- tion in the west side, and no doubt the high offices and nine-story apartment house will follow in time.
 "The charm of Quito is the poetic atmosphere which envelops the plain est phases of life. Everyone takes the world at his leisure, and there is time to enjoy everything. The homes are after the old Spanish type, which is so emphasized in the Latin-American cities. The houses are all of adobe built in a square and facing a court, and invariably of two stories only. But the average Quito residence is

To Get Rid of Rats.

One of the cheapest and most eff fective poisons for rats and mice is baTium carbonate. Spread the barium carbonate upon ordinary bread and butter. The prepared bait should be placed in rat runs. If one applicatio fails to drive away or kill all the rats it should be repeated with a change of bait For the poultry yard two wooden boxes should be used, one considerably larger than the other, each having two or more holes in the sides large enough to admit rats. Fowls are thus excluded, but the rats have free access. Place the poisoned bait on the bottom and near the middle of the smaller box and invert the lar ger box over it.

AGAIN THE MEDITERRANEAN
She Is Under Fire In Several States Where Divorce Proceedings
 Are On.

At present the mother-in-law is un- der fire from many quarters. In vari- ous states divorces are pending where practically the whole issue is that the mother-in-law is at the bottom of the whole trouble. It is a situation which calls for calm consideration There has been too much temperament in the past In fact, it seems hard to dis cuss it without betraying some emo ton. Almost every man and woman has had a mother-in-law. We do not think that they are happy who have escaped this dispensation of Provi- dence, but we have much sympathy for those who, in this progressive age, have long string of them. No man can achieve distinction in society with out three divorces, and this simply adds to his mothers-in-law by this number.
 It is a curious fact that in these days it is not the man who complains of his mother-in-law. He has been tanned too well for that In the state of bondage which husbands now en- joy they dare not open their mouths on the subject It is the wives who kick about the mothers of their bus bands. There all the dishonor lies. It is most astonishing but true that mothers think more of their sons, as a rule, than of their daughters.
 No mother can believe that her daughter has any common or uncom- mon sense; that she has any intelli- gence or ability. But her devotion to her son, especially her eldest, is one of the things which has made count less millions of brides mourn Wom- ans inhumanity to women has dis rupted many a family which started out as if it might be a success.
 We may admit that the mother-in- law is a disturbing element, but for the life of US we do not know why. We approve of the mother-in-law. She is an institution which must be looked upon with the highest favor. But as they are particularly well able to care for themselves, we are not interfering in the fight We only desire to call at tention to the fact that there are as many fathers-in-law as mothers-in1aw, but no one ever heard a complaint against the male variety. This is to the credit of the male sex. We do not make trouble. We simply bear 1t and suffer in silence.-Philadelphi In quirer.

No Toll Gates for Maryland.

The sum of $2,000,000 is to be set aside by the state of Maryland to free 1t of the antiquated toll gates that now obstruct traffic along some of the most important highways of the state, if the plans of Governor Brothers are adopted.
 The proposal is that the present road improvement fund be increased to double it's present proportions and a part of the addition to be used to purchase the private pike rights in various counties. Maryland has some of the most magnificent roads in the country and many of these are over rights of way privately controlled, to traverse which every traveller must pay toll.-Popular Mechanics

CORPSE HELD THRONE:
SULTAN'S DEATH HID
Special Cable to The Tribune.

FEZ, Morocco, July 22.-The death Of
Cid Mahomet Yamayia, war minister to
Mulal Hasan. father OF Abdul Aziz and
the present sultan Of Morocco, recalls a
gruesome incident that preceded the sue
cession OF Abdul Aziz to the throne Of
Morocco.
Mulai Hasan died suddenly on q march
TO Rabat, and in order'to secure the sue
cession TO Abdul Azlz 1t was thought
necessary TO conceal the death OF the
sultan.
BY order OF Cid Mahomet the body Of
the dead sultan was carried in a sedan
chair TO the walls of Rabat the soldiers
and the people looking OF at what they
believed TO be the progress Of a living
warrior and ruler. As no dead body may
enter through the safe OF Moorish city,
party under Kaid Sir Harry Maclean
was sent In advance TO cut a hole through
the wall of Rabat
Meanwhile messengers hastily sum-
moned Abdul Aziz. a boy in his teens.
and proclaimed him sultan in the mosque.
Not until the following day did the
Moors learn that Mulai HaSau had been
dead for some days.
