WHICH SUA 1+L IT JtE In view of the great dangers besetting young people cf the present day, in the form of bad newspapers, illustrated "jurenile" monthlies and weeklies of a vile character, surreptitiously and extensively circulated. and finding their secret way into the best homes and scbool-housos of the land, the dullest managers of a pare periodical for tbe young hardly can fail to burn with a holy fire. If they only can do a negative good, in crowding bad reading to to the wall, in taking up the children's attention so that foul publications are unheeded, a great work is accomplished their msision is a blessed one, and good citjynng everywhere should rally to their assistance. Let no parents deoeive themselves. No home is too sacred or too carefully guarded for those fiendish invaders, the venders of low and dangerous juvenile publicstions, to ply tneir unholy trade. Every child is in danger for whom good, well selected, enjoyabie reading is not provided by those most directly having its best interests at heart. All dangerous publications do not betray their character at' a glance. Often they wear the mask of useful information, and oven of piety. A mere general oversight will not suffice. Do not forceyour child to spend time in reading, but look to it that all his or her reading time be properly and pleasantly filled. While you blindly congratulate yourself that your boy or girl, through a fondness for books and

E

dicals, must necessarily be learnjmething, it may be well to know that something is. Undue intellectual stimulus for children is bad enough, but emotional stimulus is worse. In the hands of unprincipled .purveyors, it opens the way to moral errors of every kind, and by quickening an else slow growth to what is holy, develops only precocity in vice. The point of the wedge is easily inserted, and, at first, as easily thrust back but beware of the silent force that having once gained an entrance may split tbe^eace and purity of your home.—{" Home and Society Scnbner's for October.

WHEV THE BAND BEGINS TO PLAY. bet a band of music strike up sudden ty on the street, and what a magical transformation is produced. If the street was deserted before, it becomes instantly alive with humanity. The boys are the first to appear, or course, and they corns dashing out of gates and doors, and tumbling down stairways in the most reckless manner. They aon't stop to put on costs or bats, but rush for the place from whence the music omenates, just as they wers when the first note the band fall upon their tym-

nnms. The girls are not much beand sometimes a few of the more nimble of them give tbe boys a close chase. Then older people appear in doorways and hang over tbe front gate. Mothers and nurses with infouts in their arms, emerge upon the street even lame people nobble out on crutches and cane* to help swell the andieiioa. Then there is an opening of shutters and raising of windows in ttw upper stories. It is not alone the people in the immediate neighborhood of the music who take to the street, but you can see them coming long way fa either direction. The dogs catch the infection and go barking and racing through tbe streets, carrying consternation into any group of harm* kna fowls they may encounter in the way, who add their little clamor to the general notes. Homes osvort to the melodious strains, children about and praiboe around like young colts, and *U is life and animation. But soon the music passes, the old folks return to their usual avocations, the rising generation subsides, and the rtreet essoinee its socMStom^oairt^^_^
