PROBLEM FOR THE MOTHERS fncor»istencies Always Detrimental to the Proper Training of the Little Ones. Many mothers find il dilli nil In train a child on certain points, and ofu n these dtf'u-ultica arise from the inconsistencies of the parents. A child cannot he expected to he perfectly truthful if the parents tell falsehoods about little tilings, which children notice tptiekly. If you do not respect a child’s rights, you cannot l>e surprised if he is. inconsiderate of you in an at tempt to look out for himself. If you take something away from a ihild which is rightfully his own, saving “1 want it.’’ he probably will take sway something from the baby, saying, “But I want it." Do not ever tench a child that “might is right." If you are not polite to your child you will have ditlieully in teaching him politeness to others. Efforts to teach n boy to beg pardon when he wimps into anyone will prove fruit less if you do not say “pardon mo” when you bump into him. Most children will feel il wrong that they have to say “tlmnk you" for some thing handed them when no one says it to them. UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE. "I've got to make a speech at the ihib tonight. Can you give me a *int?” "Yes; Just say ‘Fillemupagaln!’" MASCOTS UNIVERSAL. Mascots have had (heir place in she world for many generations. Cats, as with the ancient Egyptians; grasshoppers, as in Italy, and vari ous other specimens of animal life have ;n their time been counted as sacred or lucky by different peoples. So it is only a continuance of old aistonis that has caused baseball teams to take' along an animal or a miall hov when they go upon the liamend to try ;heir skill with other iflaytrs. The custom lias spread to such an extent that to-day there is lot a vessel in the miu of the I’ni V’d States that lias not some kind of i mascot. This assertion will applv with almost ei|iinl force to the other < s of ilie world. WHY HE WEPT.

Sir Henry Drummond Wolff says in his recent book, “Random Recollec tions,” that Bulwer Ijytton immedi ately replied: “Yes; and the one came from Toah; the other from Genoa.”— "South's Companion. STRICTLY BUSINESS. “What do you think voung Hard fast did?” “What?” “He asked Miss Flirt for the re fusal of her hand, and when she told him he could have it, and then ac cepted Surething. he sued her for breach of contract” HOW DIPHTHERIA IS SPREAD Bacillus Conveyed by Poultry Into the Cattle Yards and Stables of the Farms. The mormons mortality from diphtheria among wood pigeons of late years has formed the subject of investigation by medical men for some time past, ami as a result of their labor- we have been assured that the bacterium which caused this mortality was not communicable either to man or to other animals. Hut I >r. \V. L. Hambon of the Lon don School of Tropical Medicine, has just contributed a long account of the disease to the Lancet, wherein he contends that in supposing the virulence of this disease to he con fined to the wood pigeons we are probably laboring under a grave mis take. IL' has at any rate shown, if he has not actually proved, that the wood pigeon bacillus is equally de structive to the domes! icated pigeons, and (hat these in turn infect game birds and domesticated fowls. The latter carry the disease into the cat tle yards and stables of farms, vic timizing the horses on the one li..ml and cows on the other. Thence the teamster and the milkman among the farm hands become infected, the latter distributing the germs with the milk sent to town! EXPOSITIONS PLANNED. Prague, in Bohemia, is now hold ing a great exposition, to last Irom May until November, having put up 21 large exposition halls and 100 smaller edifices, housing 2.MOO ex hibitors. The Experiment and Edu cational Institute for Brewing of Berlin. (ferinany, intends to hold the international barley and hop exposi tion at Berlin from October 10 to 18. Warsaw, Russia, intends soon to have a permanent exposition of all articles and goods manufactured beyond the limits of Russia “for the purpose of getting better acquainted with for eign trade." China is preparing to demonstrate to the world the value and variety of its productions by an exposition at Nankin. The Mexican national exposition is to be held in Puebla in the spring of 1!)10. BOTH GUILTY. The man who prided himself on his keen percept ions watched the wit ness on the stand with intensity, and nodded his head vigorously at the closing words of the bewildered witness. “That man’s concerned in it,” said the keen observer to his friend. “Didn't you notice how his eyes shifted around ?*’ “How about this next one?” in quired the friend. “11 eW guilty of something,” as serted the keen observer. “No man stares at people in that bold, defiant way if la1 has a clear conscience.”— Youth’s Companion. IMPUDENCE. "Now. boy. this is Important. It's an invitation to dinner!" Messenger—Thanks, lady. But 1 don't think I kin accept. Me dress suit's In hock! WILLING TO OBLIGE. “Look here,” roared the angry man who had bought a lot of su burban real estate, “that ground you sold me is under water and there are actually little fish swimming about.” “Oh. I’ll fix that all right,” as sured the oilv-tongued agent. “Then you'll give me another lot or return my money?” “Not exactly that, hut I’ll send you out some fishing tackle to catch the fish.” THAT INDEFINABLE AIR. “There’s no use talkin’,” said Farmer Corntossel, as he knocked the ashes out of his corn-cob and laid it on the mantel-piece, “there’s something about a college educa tion that does give a young feller polish.” “Do you think that our boy Josh is improved?” “Yep. He kin smoke a pipe in a way that makes it look real stylish.” HIS NOTION OF EQUAL BASIS Farmer Ransom Played No Favorites Where Woi k Was Concerned, Yet Men Were Scarce. There was only o:>e thing in the world of which 1.1 • i Hansom thor oughly approved; that was hard, steady’ work. "1 1 y said the philanthropic spinster who was spending a for in m it at the Hansom farm, “I do hope, Mr. Hansom, that you treat all your men alike; give them all equal advantages and wages. 1 find a varying - nndard, if 1 may use the expression, makes so much trouble and disionieut among labor ers in a^v Held of woi k. r. Hansom surveyed her gravely, and nodded assent. “You're right -there, ma'am,” lie said, dryly, alter a moment. “There is just one rule for the folks that work for me. ‘Bogin as early and keep it up as late ns there's light to go by, and you’ll get your one-fifty a day, unless the times are unusual hard, when I make it one-tweniv five.” “But 1 tell you, ma’am, you can’t get as many fellers to work on an equal basis nowadays as. you. might think.”—Youth’s Companion. THE EX EMPRESS EUGENIE. The Empress Eugenio, who has hail so many years of heartache, finds her comfort in getting close to “Mother Earth.” At her Riviera villa she leads a very quiet life, and in her garden often weeds the beds with her omii hands, still so delicate and pretty, though old. No half withered bud or blossom is left on a rosebush or a plant, and she knows hou to wage war against slugs and snails. At Sir Thomas Lipton’s es tate in Colombo, where she was a re cent guest, one wonders if she as sisted in the gathering of the tea leaves. When it rains she plays pa tience, laying the cards before her on the table in a solitary game. To play patience and to poke around the flowers! Even an empress must thus find her comfort in a lonely old age. AUSTRALIA'S SWEET TOOTH. An estimate by the British board of trade of the sugar production of the world for 1906 makes a total of 14,312,716 long tons, of which 7,317,472 tons were cane and 6,995, 211 tons beet, the production of both kinds advancing practically at the same rate since 1898. In the produc tion of cane sugar, British India had the largest output of 2,223,400 tons, and in beet sugar Germany ranked first, with an output of 2,362,187 tons. The Australian has a sweet tooth, for in the consumption of sugar per head Australia stands first at 129 pounds, the United States coming next with 89 pounds and the United Kingdom following at 81 pounds. VAGARIES OF THE PLUMB LINE. One of the curious tilings that men of science have discovered in their innumerable efforts to measure and map the earth with the least pos sible error is the fact that there are [daces where the direction of a plumb line is not vertical. Irregularities of density in the crust of the globe may produce this phenomena. A remark able instance has been found in the island of l’orto Rico, where the devi ation from the vertical is so great that, in mapping the island, the uorthern and southern coast lines, as shown on the older maps, had each to be moved inward half a mile. BENEFITS PHILADELPHIA. In 1907 Philadelphia's export and import trade increased $25,000,000 in value over the figures for the pre vious year. The total value of the city’s external trade for that year was over $150,000,000. These fig ures account in part for the opening of the new steamship service be tween Genoa, Italy, and the City of Brotherly Love. The Italians want some of the business. PEANUT CONSUMPTION. So many peanuts are eaten in this country that the native supply is not sufficient for the demand and about $3,000 worth of the African nuts were imported from Marseilles in 1906 and over $73,000 worth in 1907. The west coast of Africa pro duces quantities of peanuts.
