YOUR CHILD'S FRIENDSHIP.

In brief but praiseworthy article
in the January Lippincott's. Jane Bel
field points out some things which it
would be we'll for every parent to pom
der.
"The father does not pause to con-
slider that respect on both sides for
the individuality of each is the requis-
ite condition of friendship" says Mrs.
Belfield. HE has expected his child
to conform to his point of view; and
its individuality has been threatened
from the beginning. No sane person
chooses his oppressor for his friend.
Having attained adolescence, the child
escapes from the dominion of his par
ents as from bonds. Why should the
colt remain in the pasture when the
bars are down?
But II the wise parent has begun
early and allowed the child a choice
of rattles; If he has remained vigil
antly in the background and permit
ted his child to occupy the center of
its own stage; and If he has protected
its play. not ordered it-for who can
play to order?-and If he has seen
that its work falls in lines to which
the child's temperament Is native
then at the crucial period the youth
will conduct himself as a self-direct-
ed individual, and not as a runaway
slave.
"As a matter of fact, the child
whose play with fire has been unob-
trusively supervised, not arbitrarily
prohibited, is the least likely to be IA
tally burnt. The boy whose finger is
allowed to be harmlessly cut knows
better than to play with knives. The
parent is in position to point out the
law and its violation. He is the child's
ready mpathiZer-not an instrument
of irrelevant punishment.
BLESSED is that parent of whom the
adult child remembers no power of
the lash, no ban of empire! Such a
one may gaze down the vista of his
child's past with only grateful recol-
lections of his own too brief sojourn
with the zest and surprise of the be-
ginning. Why do parents neglect,
when they sum up their later disap-
pointments, to remember how keenly
they enjoyed those early years?
THE youth turns to his parents as
naturally as the plant turns to the
light. He realizes that he is but a
drummer boy in the great army Of
workers, and this veteran by his side
| is his loved counselor and friend, in
| whose willing eyes he has read since
| the beginning a liberal comprehen-
| sion of his need.
Such a parent does not now ex-
pect to absorb the growing youth. He
| is not wounded at the lads insistence
| upon seeing with his own eyes, hear
| ing with his own ears, and speaking
with his own mouth. On the con-
trary, he knows that for this cause
| were We given individual members.
"And even as the child came to him
| with its earliest confidence, the youth
will come to him now, regarding as his
dearest privilege the right to stand by
| his parents side in the sacred time of
sunset. This gray-haired man is he
| who gave him life, who protected his
youth and made it now possible for
| him to stand man among men, To
| him the child gives MS friendship be-
cause he already has it. Such a par
ent will never be deserted at the cross
| way Of adolescence, nor disappointed
in grown-up children

THE CYNIC.

Man Is corrupt enough, but some
thing Of good has survived his
wreck; something Of evil religion has
restrained, and something partially re-
stored; yet I look upon the human
heart as a mountain of fire. I dread
its crater. I tremble when I see its
lava roll the fiery stream. Therefore
am the most glad, IL upon the old
crust Of past corruptions l can find a
single flower springing up. So far
from rejecting appearances of virtue
in the corrupt heart Of a. depraved
race, I am eager to see their light as
a mariner was to see a star in a stormy
night.
Moss will grow upon gravestones;
the ivy will cling to the moldering
pile; the mlstletoe spring from the dy-
ing branch and, God be praised, some-
thing green, something fair to the
sight and grateful to the heart will
yet twine around and grow out Of the
seams and cracks of the desolate tenn
pie Of the human heart.
The cynic Is one who never sees a
good quality in man and never fails
to see a bad one He is the human
owl, vigilant in darkness and blind to
light, mousing for vermin and never
seeing noble game. The cynic puts
all human actions into only two
classes-openly bad and secretly bad.
All virtue and generosity and disin-
terestedness are merely the appear
ance Of good, but selfish at the bot
tom. He holds that no man does a
good thing except for profit. The
effect Of his conversation upon your
feelings 10 to Chill and scar them; to
send you away sore and morose. His

A horse dealer was showing a horse
to a prospective buyer. After run
ming him back and forward for a few
minutes he stopped and said to the
buyer: What do you think of his
coat? Isn't 1t a dandy?"
The buyer noticing that the horse
had the heaves, replied: Eyes, I like
his coat, all right, but I don't like his
pants"

IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

Two bills that are now before the
Legislature look to bettering conditions
with reference to the handling of
county funds. One bill, introduced
hill, provides that the county funds
shall be deposited in banks offering
the highest rate of interest after the
matter has been submitted to bids.
The other bill was introduced in
the senate by Senator Barrett and
provides that banks shall pay two per
cent interest upon county deposits
and prescribes how the funds shall
be distributed. The Barrett bill is
modelled after the California law and
the essential features of the proposed
law are as follows:
Section l. The County Treasurer
of any county within this state is
hereby authorized to deposit any pub
lie funds in his hands not required
for immediate use in any bank do
ing business within the state organ
lied under the national banking laws
of the United States, or under the
laws of this state; provided, that at
or before the date of such deposit
the bank receiving same shall furnish
to said officer, as security for mon
,eys SO deposited, bonds of the United
States Of America, or of the state of
Oregon, or of any county, municipal
ity. or school district within said
state, to be approved, in case of de-
posit by any County Treasurer, by
the county court of the same county,
the market value of such security to
he at least ten per cent in excess OF
the amount of such deposit.
Section 2. Moneys so deposited
shall be subject to call, and the bank
or deposit shall pay interest thereon
at the rate of two per cent per annum
on the daily balances, as shown by
'terest to be credited by said treasur-
@er to the general fund Of state or
county, as the case may be.
Section 3. No deposit shall be
made in any one bank which shall
exceed fifty per cent of the paid up
capital stock of said bank, and at the
time Of making application for such
deposit said bank shall furnish to the
officer to whom such application Is
made a certificate from the National
Bank Examiner of the district, or of
the state Examiner Of the state, ac-
cording as the bank may be national
or state showing the solvency and
stability Of the bank, and IL such
treasurer is not satisfied Herewith,
he shall have authority to cause q
special examination to be made. and
IL shall be discretionary with such
treasurer to grant or refuse any ap-
plication for such deposit.
Section 4. No treasurer shall de-
posit at any one time In any one
bank more than twenty per cent of
the public moneys in his hands avail
able for such deposit while there are
other qualified banks requesting such
. deposits. and it shall be his duty to
distribute the funds equitabiy. an far
ss possible, among solvent and sub
stantiai applicants.

Usher did not expect to sell more than

memorial in st. Paul's or Westminster
Abbey. A memorial plaque is shortly
to be erected in Owens College, Man

and a tablet has been put over the
