OUR UNCROWNED RULERS.
Let n child hnvo an envious , cor-
etoils mother and the chances nro that
, she will Impart It to him through his
early training. When this is Incul
cated Into the child's character It do-
treys that youthful hope which U tha
rainbow of childhood. Notice a child
with a kindly feeling for everybody
and everything and you will see that ,
however poor ha may be , ho obsarrea
and admires tha world and la happy
ua If ho ownad It. Evarybody U raady
to receive him , ha he dremod In velvat
or tow linen , for It la not hlu clothes

will keep him from many a temptation
and will Impart energy , ambition and
Il0p8.
In the parental relation , the habit of
the present day seems to lean too
much on the sldo of Indulgence. Tha
discipline which was BO good for the
mother Is resented by the daughter
and the eon la too often contemptuous
of the wisdom of experience , not to
apeak of the authority , of his father ,
suys the New York Ledger.
When every now and then wo come
upon Bomo aweet , modest girl whoso
beauty Is enhanced by her bashfulness -
ness and whose sweetness of compli
ance npcaks eloquently of her domestic
training when wo find her capable ,
Industrious , thoughtful for others ,
courteous , well bred , how our whole
heart goes out to her how wo love
her and respect her ! So , too , of the
boy who combines with n boy's freer
instincts the sweet modesties of his
ago and that noble kind of deference
which promises both the power of gov
erning others as well as that of self-
government. And again , when wo
have n group of llttlo children , brim
ming over with h mlth and animal
spirits , but In duo subordination to
the mother who loves thorn too well
to spoil them and who thinks that till
they can walk morally alone they nr
best guided Into good ways , we thank
heaven for the remnant still left
among us the remnant of wlso par
ents who bring up their children for
charm in the present and nobility In
the future an4 who are the good sea
walls standing between the surging
tide of folly and the fertile lands oT
wisdom and delight.
ESKIMO PKCUUARITIKS.
Their Character V rr Dlff r p ffom
That of the Indian.
Dr. Hanbury , follow of the Royal
Geographical society , London , Bug-
land , and an explorer of some renown ,
spent a part of last summer on the
west sldo of Hudson'a bay , leaving
Winnipeg In June and going aa far
north as Marble Island , a little south
of Chesterfield Inlet. Mr. Hanbury is
thoroughly conversant with the man
ners and customs of the Indiana in
the great Canadian northland. He
spent several months with the Y l-
iow Knife Indians , around the great
water stretches of tbo north , and when
he loft them was able to speak a good
deal of their language and understand
considerable that was said In the same
tonguo.
Nothing caa Induce the Yellow
Knives or the Dog Rib Indians , the
axploror statas , to come over to the
Hudson bay boaln , as they are In mor
tal , dread of the Eaklrno. It appaara
that they were at war formerly , and
the Indians received a severe drub
bing , hence their fear of the Eskimo.
Mr. Hanbury , however , Is dollghUd
with the Eakimo , saying that tbey arc
flrat-rate people to travel with , and
are as loyal and true as steal to tko
white man. Ho points out that that *
Is a great difference between the Ea
kimo and Indian character. Tha ftret
are gay , whila the latter are saoroaa
and sullen. ' The Eskimos , although
Quito Ignorant , are absolutely happy ,
and will always be found laughing and
In the best of humor. As for tkelr
religion , Mr. Hanbury says they hart
nona. When a Husky dies that la tka
end of htm , according to their belUf ;
no the missions at Churchill and elM-
where have been unable to make ev >
a little out of the Eskimo. If they
get plenty of tea and tobacco the Es
kimos are all right , although It IB

SOCIABLE MONKEYS AS QUBSTtt
An Odd Ilonaymcon flpanl Amid
Surroundings.
From the Weekly Telegraph : A
gentleman who was married in ladla
a short tlmo ago had a somewhat pe
culiar experience during his honey
moon. Ho took his newly-acquired
brldo away to a house situated on the
Nebudda river to spend the opening
month of .their married life , and the
company that met them at their flrat
breakfast was not quite the kind a
bride expects to welcome hor. The
meal in question was laid on a veran
da overlooking the river , and no soon
er did the servants begin to place the
crockery on the table than a large
number of monkeys began to assem
ble from all directions , and noiseless
ly took their places on the voranda.
Naturally , when the husband called to
hla wife , who was dressing , that
breakfast was ready , and they were
all waiting for her , she was quite per
turbed , more especially as she expected
they were going to be alono. Imag
ine her surprise when she carne down
to find all the available space around
the table occupied by monkeys , who
sat as grave and silent as possible.
During the breakfast biscuits w r
thrown to the animals , and these , of
course , gave rlao to a struggle , which
resulted In a great deal of noise. Ne
sooner , however , was each biscuit gone
than the monkeys returned to their
places and sat as quiet as if nothing
had happened. As soon as the eouplo
got up from the breakfast tnblo the
monkeys , evidently recognizing that
there was nothing moro to be had , all
rose , and gravely marched down the
taps from the veranda.
LETTERS SENT TO NOTED MEN
Those curious personages who delight -
light in prying into unexpected sub
jects and classifying the results 'in
learned form hnvo been very busy re
cently with the letters received by
prominent people. The president of
thu French republic , for Instance , is
aid to receive daily 700 letters , and
these are made up as follows : Beg
ging letters , 260 ; petitions on political
affairs , ICO ; petitions from criminals ,
100 ; complaintB ajalnct various func
tionaries , also 100 ; anonymous letters
containing insults , 80 , and threats of
assassination , 20.
The dally post bag at Marlborough
house , London , too , contains some ex
traordinary letters. By ono post thcro
arrived the following : A request for
a loan of $6,000 to enable student of
entomology to start for Africa ; a peti
tion from a poor old lady to provide a
dowry for her daughterwho was about
to bo married ; a pressing letter from
a French inventor of a now diving
dress , begging the Prlnco of Wales to
don it and dive into the Seine when ho
next visited Paris , and n calm request
for money to redeem a workman's
tools.
Of course few of thcso curious mis
sives over reach the Prlnco of Wales ,
for his experienced secretaries sift the
correspondence with care and knowl
edge. Every day there are scores of
lottora connected with the public ceremonies -
monies in which the prince takes a
part , for every item is submitted for
approval. Then there are the thou
sand and ono social invitations re
quiring a reply , and unnumbered ap
peals for money In aid of charities.
The private letters for the prlnco nro
very numerous , for his relatives keep
him in touch with all interesting thorn.
His Bistor , the Empress Frederick

The January Auraber of the Blblo So

Illustrating the dlfllculty of printing
translations of the Blblo. In a dis
tant land copies of the New Testament
had for the flrst time been placed in
the hands of the natives. One day the
missionary in hla private reading raado
the awful discovery that the passage ,
"It U required of ministers that they
bo found faithful , " had been rendered
In the vernacular , "It is required of
ministers that they bo faithfully
hanged. " An "e" for an "a" in tha
rendering of the local word for "found"
had made all the difference. The er
ror was happily corrected before any
effort had bean made to reduce the pre
cepts to practice.
