Music for Children.

Tt is never too early to draw the at
of little children to music.
They love rhythm; let them clap their
hands, and stamp their feet in time to
some little march or jig played for
them. Then let them hear little
song repeated often, or tw" songs Of
different character, one sad, one gay;
they will soon ask for more, and learn
10 sing themselves. Music will become
dor them the means of self-expression,
a beneficient outlet of pent-up nervous
energy, leading their little feelings
into channels Of cheerfulness, possi-
bly, averting illtemper. winning inertia,
and dulness. A little drill done to
music as game will be helpful to
mother and children. There are &C.
ton songs published for kindergar-
tens, but resourceful mother can
contrive something of the kind her
self according 10 the child's age.
Marching round the room with a clap
of the hands on the first beat of the
bar first In four-four time, then three
four time, lastly six-time will make a
pleasing diversion for noisy little ones,
and help them to realize their sense
of rhythm. On no account should the
children hear ragtime frequently, as
that will upset the natural sense OF
correct measure and accent.

Strongest Impulse Of Instinct.

Perhaps the strongest impulse Of in
: stinct to be found in nature is that
exhibited by the salmon in spawning
time. On the Northern Pacific coasts
of the United States, Canada and ST.
IBERIA, where these fish abound, they
annually make their desperate dashes
up the great rivers, some of them
1 500 to 1000 miles in length, in search
.of suitable spawning grounds. Moth
ing seems to stop the mad rush of
the fish, leaping the falls, dodging and
-evading all obstacles, they come in
countless thousands; needless of birds,
bears, minks. otter an6 other wild
beasts which prey upon them in ad-
adition to mans wholesale slaughter,
the males, who become quite savage at
this time, fighting desperately amo1g
themselves. When the spawning
grounds have been reached and the
eggs laid the fish are SO weak from
exhaustion that they are unable to
protect themselves, for they take no
nourishment whatever after leaving
salt water, and drifting down the cur
rent, they fall easy prey to the enc
mics of their kind, or die of exhaustion
before reaching the sea. 1t is one of
7the unsolved mysteries of nature that
these fish should thus inevitably sac
lrifice themselves in their first season

Stealing.

Stealing Is wholly silly business
at the best; but to steal in the post
Office, in bank, or in any other or
ganized institution. is absolutely lido
tic. There Is no surer road to state
prison than to steal from an organ
lied business; and the larger the bus
mess is the more complicated the bus
mess is, the smaller the possibility
that the thief can avoid that final de-
lection. The thief burrows around in
his little corner very much as mice
make ways for themselves under the
floors of a storehouse or a dwelling
Both the thief and the mouse have
it all to themselves for while, and
the thief at least thinks that nobody
knows. But to think such thing
only shows that he is fool. His op-
erations necessarily touch other peo-
pie. for otherwise he would find moth
ing to steal. They complain; the trap
is set for him; and merely by con-
tinuing to steal he walks into 1t and
is caught, just as the mouse is when
it's secret passageway finally opens
into the room It seeks to enter. The
man who steals once may escape. but
the man who makes q business OF
stealing is az certain to be caught as
he is to live. He has to quit stealing
or to die in order to avoid being
caught. It IL a dead sure thing

Fastest Travel on Record.


The researches made by physicists
OF all centuries have proved that the
hertzian waves move with the same
speed as light, that Is to say. at about
$4,000 miles a second.
Three French scholars, Mr.. Abra-
ham, professor at the Conservatoire
des Arts ct Meters: Major Ferrie and
Mr.. Dufour, have, under the auspices
Of the bureau OF longitudes, Just de-
termined the speed of propagation Of
the hertzian waves between Paris and
Toulon. Part OF the result has been
calculated. and the speed found is
295.9OO kilometers to the second. with
a difference OF less than one per cent.
for each determination. in comparison
to the average.
They intend to measure this speed
between the Eiffel tower and the sta
tion Of wireless telegraphy at Wash
ington. while the longitude Of the
capital OF the United States is bolng
determined.
Messrs. Abraham. Dufour and Ferrie
propose to continue their experiments
and to study the speed Of the propa-
cation Of hertzian waves between two
points separated by the sea.

MEMORIES THAT NEVER FADE
Pleasing Impressions of Childhood a
Matter Of Joy Through All the
Years of Life.

Coming down in the world is not
popularity supposed to be a pleasant
proceeding, and not little pity is ex-
pended on those who, having started
life in what is known as "well-to-do
to living under less luxurious and
favorable conditions. 1t is all very
well to pity those who are thus situat-
ed; and possibly for the very old an
uprooting late in life from beautiful
surroundings to those which are less
attractive may be in the nature of a
calamity.
But for the young there is quite
: another side of it, and 1t Is certainly
better for those who cannot live all
their life in beautiful surroundings
that childhoods days should be spent
In the place or the home which is
beautiful
1t is childish Impressions which
last, and particularly those of places.
In after-life it is people and events
which count; but childhood's mind is
more occupied with little bits of seen
cry, all the dear delights of a ramb-
ling garden, delightful hay-lofts and
potting sheds and places where all
manner of Tets pretend" games can
be played; fields where there are fairy
rings to be found and birds nests to
be looked for, and every kind Of wild
flower to be picked.
All these are the delights which
matter to youthful mind; but to
those who have grown up to more
steady and less delightful pleasures. q
rambling garden and "pretendable"
nooks are Of less importance than
some Of the more prosaic comforts Of
environment
So we need not pity too much those
who have left these delights and beau
ties, childish as they may be, behind
them, because they will live in the
memory and be a constant source of
pleasure long afterwards. Certainly
1t is better to start in big house and
descend to a little than vice versa.
Youthful powers Of enjoyment are SO
much greater than in later life.

disease, cease to give milk. and, If
the spell were not removed, would die.
The effect of "witching" a pig was to
cause curious kind of madness,
something like fit; this again ended
fatally unless a counter charm was
forthcoming. Quite recently saw
one of these charms" quoted in a 10

MISS GORDON ID
 TEACH AT RUBY

Miss Julia A. Gordon. the we'll known Fairbanks teacher has been selected by the school board of Ruby as teacher for that place for next winter The term at Ruby begins the last of this month. and Miss Cor don said last night she will sail for there little before the time for school to open.
 The interesting thing about the selection of Miss Gordon was the fact that she did not apply for the position, but was chosen for it when she was contemplating going Out, side. After the offer was made her, Miss Gordon concluded to accept the position and remain in Alaska, for at least another year.
 Prof. F. A. Knowlton, who until recently was principal of the Fair banks school, was at first selected for the Ruby school, but he informed the school board that since making his application circumstances had changed so that lie would not ac- cept the work.
 Miss Gordon did not apply for her old position in the Fairbanks school at the end of last term and thus was not reelected for the position.
