HOME GOVERNMENT.

THE MAIN IDEA SHOULD BE MUTUAL RESfONSIDIL

Tli« Ideal Family SIo**e Smoothly Because !ffe": the .Joints Are Oiled—Children Are Not is .'Dccelved in to Oar Fault#—The Phllosophy of Ilarmony.

Household court ray is the best of all courtesy. It is worth while to teach your boys to raise their bats to friends in the street, but ft ia more'important that tbey do not fail of refinement in the family. This will not be brought about so easily as by the courteous bearing of parents. Direct orders are never necessary. It is as easy and more effective to say, "Will you please to carry this down stairs?" as to order it done. The politeness of the request breeds a polite method of obeying. Mere obedience in worthless. It only shows that you have the brute force power to compel your child to lo as you bid.

But In the majority of families I believe the old habit of mere power is not yet outlived. Parents do not rise to a conception of that finer power which comes with love and gentleness. I#m not advocating feebleness, either in manner or spirit. I believe in family government and in parental authority, but I do not believe in family -empires and parental autocracy. The children are ours to mold, to control for their advantage, to restrain from evil. Bui nature abhors a dictator everywhere and above all a dictatorial parent.

The ideal family moves smoothly because the joints are oiled, not because the father is big enough to enforce his will and the mother not averse to using her hands to beat her way through difficulties. But even here I am not a defender of "moral suasion" and fearful of needful force. When a conflict cannot be avoided, I would not see a parentdawdling about with insipid words. I would be sure of the right, and then see that it wins. The opposition to all physical force in education, whether in the school or In the family, is maudlin. It is to stop to quarrel over methods until obedience is lost sight of.

But, granting all this, we come back to the point that a purent who is not self governed in not fit to govern others, and In the end it will be seen has not governed them. It may seem to be true that her will is obeyed and her orders parried into effect. The child has a private protest, or even a half expressed indignation, and it will be surely discovered at last that obedience was only a matter of the lingers or tongue—it lld not go down into and become a part of choice. Now, what can we say of a child that, hour by hour, year by year, isgrowing out of harmony with us? Have we successfully managed our family affairs, or have we, by mere chance, given birth to a monstrosity? The failure is almost surely to be traced back to ourselves. We have begun by a failure in the government of ourselves, and failing there we could not govern putside cf ourselves.

I know a mother who, feeling her own failure in her own conduct to besodecided, frankly says to her children: "I am aware •of my own feebleness, of my comparative failure, but I would like very much to feel that you are nobler, stronger and better self governed. I wish you to have reason always at the front, and I shall try invariably to direct you rightly. It is possible for you to retort on me that I should practice before I preach, but that will not help your oaaea," So she laid the whole matter open between them. They are aware of her failings, but they have a sure conviction that she loves their best interests and will never fall to wish for their highes^ood.

Why would not this plan work well in many other cases, perhaps in the majority of cases? Children are not deceived as to our faults. Why not let it be understood that we claim no iuimaculateness, but do claim a tender regard for our children? In this case, at knst, it has worked well, for this mother is devoutly loved, and her children are rarely line in character and manners. But how shall I be able most readily to exercise my word and will to get the right thing done? There is so much to alarm a pa rent on this score that it seems aw if we should wish never to be compelled to undertake It. I am sure that we must first satisfy the child that our aims and wishes are unselfish and right. Then we must just, as surely convince them by experience that our purposes caunot be biased or broken that having calmly seen what is wise we shall aim for that in spite of all importunities.

What shall we do about it? From the beginning let us consider two things equally, our own duty ami the individuality we art* to build up. It is in such tiny things a mother must work that philosophy at first seems out of place. But is it out. of place? What philosophy can be more admirable than that which makes a household harmonious—five boys, two girls or five girls and two boys, all moving omvard through the labyrinth of Intellectual and moral and physical change harmoniously? The wonder of it is that no two of the seven are alike, no two have exactly the same training. It is more than the government of a kingdom. But also no two days find om young ones the same or needing the same. How it did startle me when one day my oldest boy's voice indicated a change. Vhati uo longer a boy? What! am 1 to govern a man at last? How gently I spoke to htm that day!

Politeness is catching. Once get it es tabiished in a household, and it goes from one to another. There is uo possibility oi a thoroughly honest sweetness of manner in a mother that does not Impart itself to the children. I am specially convinced of the value of enlisting the oldest child as a helpmeet for the parent. It will be nearly impossible to recover family harmony and poise if the firstborn is allowed to go uncultured or untrained. It will be very rarv that the younger children do not respond to the united effort of father, mother and the older child. He should be led genti} and continuously to feel this responsibility. It Is a grand thing to get the notion of authority om of the family and the Idea of mutual responsibility in its place.—Mary E. Spencer lu St. Louis lobe-Democrat.

The futomt Olrk

The poorest girls in the world are those not taught to work. Thews are thousands of them. Rich parents have petted them, and they have been taught to despise labor and to depend upon others for a living and are perfectly helpless. The most forlorn women belong to this class. It Is the duty of parent* to protect their daughters from this deplorable condition. They do them a great wrems It they negk«t it. Every daughter should be taught to earn bcrown liviug. The rich as well as tbe poor require this training. The wheel of fortune rolls swiftly around—the rich are likely to become poor and the poor rich. Skill added to labor is no disadvantage to the. rich and is indispensable to the poor. Well to do parents must educate their daughter* to work. No reform is more imperative than this,—London Gentlewoman.

Bow George Eliot Looked.

None of George Eliot's portraits" appears to me to be like her. The one in a hooded bonnet, said to have been sketched in St. James' hall, is a monstrous caricature and accidental impression of her face, which was neither harsh nor masculine. The one which prefaces her life is too sentimental. The early photograph, on sale at Spooner's, in tbe Strand, is very like, but not favor able, and absolutely without any art in the arrangement. It is, however, the only real indication left to us of the true shape of the head and of George Eliot's smile and general bearing.

In daily life tbe brow, the blue eyes and the upper part of the face had a great charm. The lower half was disproportionately long. Abundant brown hair framed a countenance which was certainly not in any sense unpleasing, noble in its general outline and very sweet and kind in expression. Her height wa3 good, her figure remarkably supple. At moments it had an almost serpentine grace. Her characteristic bearing suggested fatigue. Perhaps, even as a girl, she would hardly have been animated, but when she was amused her eyes filled with laughter. She did not look young when I first saw her, and I have no recollection of her ever looking much older. —Contemporary Review. te|g

Her Funeral Fund.

"What do you do when you need some money dreadfully and haven't any?" asked one girl bachelor of another who carried herself with an opulent air and who was famous for discovering cash in times of financial distress. "Well," replied the other bachelor, "I'll tell you if you won't tell anybody. I borrow it from my funeral expenses." "Funeral expenses!" exciaimed the horrified querist. "What do you mean?" "Just this: When I first began earning money, I put in bank several hundred dollars for my funeral expenses. I have always had a horror of people being able to say of me, 'Poor thing, her uncle had to bury her,' or 'the church had to pay for -her funeral.' Well, when I'm feeling pretty robust and want something very much without having the requisite cash—a trip, a new^own —I borrow the sum needed from the funeral expenses and pay it back when I an' in funds again. I argue that good clothes, recreation and intellectual pleasures Hip me postpone my funeral, so it is really a wise investment. Do start a funeral fund. You don't know how convenient it is."—Detroit Free Press.

Points About the Veil.

In buying a veil the other day the salesgirl gave a bit of information so very useful that I feel it is my duty to impart it. I was going to put it on without any preliminary arrangement, but thegirl very kindly offered to assist me. She took the veil, stretched it out at full length and tied a knot in each end and then one in the center of one side to fit over the hat brim. The knots in the end keep the veil in place and so make the veil last longer and look better. Besides it is very much easier to arrange a veil. It is strange how many well dressed women are careless of their veils. It 1b not an unusual sight to see the edge frayed or little breaks or tears. Sometimes you see it has given away on the very end of the nose. Now, it looks just as bad— oh, yes, much worse than it would to see an unsightly scar on the face. The scar cannot be helped, but for careless slovenliness there is not a shred of an excuse.—-Bos-ton Advertiser.

Care of the Feet.

The woman who wants to have beautiful feet must never permit her sole to enter a slipper. Like naughty children, feet need constant restraining—tbey must be held in check. The moment they are allowed freedom they run wild. Tight boots and shoes are foolish and abusive, but in any snug leather an ugly foot may be shaped and a shapely one kept so. Shoe dealers advise women to get ready for their wedding shoes at the spring heel age. There is no support to a slipper and so very little hold that the foot always has the appear ance of overflowing it. If the ankles are strong, wear low or high cut shoes. If they are weak, wear boots. The foot looks slimmer and the ankles trimmer in a kid boot than any style of footwear.—New York Evening World,

Ladies' Cards.

A lady's card should be very nearly square, of moderate size, fine in texture, and, needless to say, white. If married, Mrs. should precede the name on an engraved card, and the husband's name should be given in full. The address is printed in the lower right hand corner, the day for being at home in the lower left hand corner, and the engraving Is invariably in plain script. When there are daughters, the elder is entitled to a separate card —as, "Miss Curtis," for example—only after one or two seasons in society. Up to that time she is supposed, and ber sister also, to call only with their mother, upon whose card their names appear.—New York Mail and Exprtsw.

Wanted Energy.

"Make no extra work," writes Juliet Corson. "Have a system of living and maintain it. Have a place for everything and keep everything In its place. Near the entrance door have suitable holders for hats, coats, wraps, umbrellas, canes, over aud outdoor shoes, etc., and see that they are kept there. In the sitting room have a place for writing and sewing materials and a special table for books, magazines and papers, aud insist upon it that they shall be put there instead of being left where tbey drop from the reader's hands, only to be picked up by the tired mother, whose work in some households seems never ending.

Laafhed ait Bt FtuoUmr Salt. It is sometimes a cruel thing for mothers to allow their admiration for the picturesque to make unwilling victims of their children. One unwitting maternal tormentor had her eyes opened to what she had been doing when her small sou announced after a recent party among his associates.*

think, mamma, I would rather

not go to companies after this if I have to wear my Fauntleroy suit any more. The other fellows laugh so." Until then she had no idea that his expressed unwillingness to don the velvet clothes with tbe broad lace collar and cuffs was more than a mere juvenile freak of distaste.—Chicago Record.

To Make a Mackintosh tfeefal. If yo^mtKOdnimsli lkaaiooalit is the back of the skirt through which the hand can be reached to lift the dress to keep it from the mud, sacrifice one of the pockets in the mackintosh.

Then yoa out pot your band Into tbe pock* eUron it through the slit, reach around, pick up your dress and raise it independently of the mackintosh, which will still p*v tect your ankles. You can secure some oa ment and fasten a piece of strong silk ot linen around the edge of the slit to keep It from tearing too far.—New York Journal.

TEKRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, JUNE 23,1894.

PREMIER AND HORSEMAN.

Nonconform |sts Charge That (CoMboy Has Degraded English Statesmanship. A ridiculous attack has been mado upon Lord Rosebery because he happened to be the fortunate owner of a Derby winner. The word has gone forth to every large and small bethel that "the nonconformist conscience will not long tolerate a racing premier." Every tub thumping Stiggins has howled at the noble earl for daring to say in a speech to the Eton college boys that he was not ashamed of owning a good horse. Even the newspapers which regularly quote the odds have joined in the outcry, aud every meil brings his lordship hundreds of letters from meddling zealots, warning him that his patronage of horse racing is daily driving many souls to perdition. Radical parsons and puritanical lay partisans have deluged the Liberal headquarters at "Westminster with epistolary protests to the same effect, and there is talk of convening "a national convention" for the purpose of protesting against' 'the shameful degradation of English statesmanship," from all of which it will be gathered that Great Britain has entered into one of those periodical virtuous spells which have long been the scorn and wonder of foreigners.

Lord Rbsetiery is said to be amazed and indignant at the outburst .and to have threatened to retire in disgust from publio life. But this is all nonsense, because, after all, the present cr.tcry is merely a louder repetition of that which occurred when, with the commencement of the flat racing season, the puritans saw that the premier had no intention of quitting the turf. Besides ho ought to know perfectly well that the nonconformists are simply suffering from a temporary moral spasm, and that in the estimation of the vast majority of people he has gained anew title to leadership by winning the Derby.

All the party managers admit today that Rosebery's character as an honorable, highly successful sportsman, indorsed as it has been by the victory of the horse upon which the masses had put their money, will stand hirs ia good stead with thousands of electors who do not care a cent for politics, but vote according to impuse. -—London Cor.

A LANDLORD'S CONSCIENCE.

Iiord Twcedmouth Shows What an Easy Thing His Is to Get Along With. Lord Tweedmouth, until recently M*. Edward Marjoribanks, ohief Liberal whip, has just compounded satisfactorily with his conscience, and some Radical newspapers are praising his nobility of soul and fidelity to prinoiple, uncommon in the ordinary mortal and rare in a peer of the realm. It seems that his father, old Lord Tweedmouth, invested tens of thousands of pounds, a part of the huge profits of his brewery, in land in the highlands of Scotland, and thereafter, as he was oonsumed with a passion for deer forests, in order to increase his stock of game he gradually cleared his land of industrious sheep farmers and small crofter tenants until he was able to drive for miles through his vast estate, known as Guisachen in Inverness, without meeting a single human being or passing one inhabited house.

The present lord, as a strong Radical, has always been opposed to that sort of thing. In fact, he is actually a raem-1-er of the royal commission appointed to inquire into and report upon the depopulation of the Scottish highlands by landlords of the stamp of the late Lord Tweedmouth. Conscience and political expediency, therefore, alike forbade a member of the Radical government to continue a policy which had reduced to the poorhonse or scut to the plains of Manitoba and the shores of British Columbia hundreds of sturdy Scotsmen and Scotswomen. The natural and prop ejr course for Lord Tweedmouth to follow would have been to reverse his father's policy and bring the people baok to the land. But that would have been a sinful waste of the enormously in creased value of the property as one of tho best sporting estates in Scotland. So his lordship has decided to sell Guisachen as it stands, which, while easing his conscience, "fills his pockets with gold gained out of the spoliation and expatriation of honest men.-—Glasgow Letter.

An Octogenarian Wheelman. A Portland man was in Sanford last week and reports that everybody is riding the bicycle there, from the toddler to the gray haired grandfather. He saw Mr, George Goodall, the owner and'originator of the plush mills and now about SO years old, pedaling rapidly along the street on a pneumatic. It was not a bicycle nor yet a tricycle of the old kind, but a special machine, undoubtedly built especially for the old gentleman. It was like any pneumatics tire safety, except that there were two rei^ wheels instead.of ona They were about two feet apart, and of course the machine would stand alone. The chain passed around cogs on the axle between the two rear wheels. Mr. Goddall is doubtless the oldest he§lma» in the state.—Portland Press. MMKSS

Smallest Woman on Harth. Since the death of Lucia Zarate, tbe "Mexican midget," the title of being the smallest woman on earth has fallen to Mile. Paulina, a native of Holland. She is now nearly 18 years of age, is but 20 inches high and weighs a few ounces less than 9 pounds. Unlike most midgets, who are usually hideous monstrosities,. she is remarkably pretty and accomplished, speaking four different languages fluently.—St. Louis Republic. a ¥iMfc.isi^aa«t&a*» or Martin's Vlsfjvid.

Some of Hie antiquarians are tzying to make oat that the proper name of Hew England's best known island is Martin's Yingpurd, instead of Martha's Vineyard. It is plainly another attempt to keep the woman inferior to tbe man, a revival of tbe rankest old fogyism, which will find little favor in /this progressive age. We'll have none of it

BAVARIA'S MAD KING.

The Poor Fellow Has Been Craxy Man Than Half His Life. Should the Bavarian deputies indorse the action just taken by the upper house in deciding to place the insane King Otto under guardianship and transfer the crown to the madman's uncle, Prince Luitpold, regent and heir presumptive, this -royal maniac will lose entirely the fictitious bauble of kingly authority which he has never been pertnitted to exercise. The story of the mad monarch's life reads like some strange tale of the middle ages.

Otto is now 46 years old and has been insane more than half of his life. He nominally succeeded to the throne June 13, 1886, when his brother, King Ludwig II—who had been deposed three days before because his insanity had become unendurable—committed suicide by drowning himself in the lake of S tarn berg, in the park of Berg castle, to which he had been removed for safe keeping. Ludwig had been crazy for years upon music and palaces. King Otto never actually reigned. Prince Luitpold, his uncle, was appointed regent when King Ludwig was dethroned and has been the real ruler ,eyOT since then.

Otto has long been confined in the castle of Fuerstenried, in the midst of a dense forest, not far from Munich. The most disagreeable task a Bavarian soldier has to perform is to do garrison duty there, the gloom of the surroundings being intensified by the dreadful appearance of the mad monarch. His hair is long and unkempt, and his bushy brown beard reaches below his waist. His eyes are usually fixed on empty space. He is always dressed in black broadcloth. At one time he fanoied that his carpets were made of the finest glass, and that it was dangerous to tread on them. He would not be content until they were all taken up. Another hallucination was that the walls of his apartments were hung with newspapers. He would sit for hours facing a wall, reading aloud what he imagined he found in these newspapers. He smoked something like a hundred cigarettes a day at last accounts, using up a box of matches to light each one, taking childish enjoyment in the flash and crackle of the little bits of wood. Once it ooourred to him that it would be amtsing to shoot peasants, and he sat at a window all day lqng with a gun, watching like a hunter for his game. His attendants would load the gun with peas instead of buckshot, and a man in peasant's dress would pass within range occasionally. The king would shoot, the man would drop, and the apparently lifeless body would be removed by guards.

Balary,'

said I,

'but wo will allow you a commission of.25 per cent on all you sell for cash.'

'I don't rightly understand this commission and per cent business,' said he, scratching his head, 'seeing I ain't used to it, but I'll toll you what I'll do. You just agree to give mo 10 cents on every dollar's worth I sell, and I'll undertako it. That's plain enough for Anybody to understand.' "I lot him go at that," laughed the merohant in conclusion, "and made it up to him at the end of the year by putting him on tho road with a good salary and" permission to tell tho story every time we gavo him a raise, and we gave him one yesterday, and I've told tho story a good many times."—Detroit Freo Press.

Rosebery's Ambitions.

Lord Rosebery, who is now 4$ years old, is credited with having said one day that he had three ambitions—to bo the richest man in England, to be prime minister and to win the Derby. It is understood that he achieved the first ambition by his marriage to the daughter of Baron Meyer de Rothschild, who died in 1890, leaving him master of a hnndanmn estate. The second ambition he has satisfied lately, since the retirement of Mr. Gladstone, and the third with his recent good fortune on the turf.—New York Telegram. 1

THE GIRTH OF THE EARTH.

A Measurement That Will Deal With Feet Abont to Be Taken. The computers of the coast and geodetic survey will take up within a few months a huge mathematical problem from which they are expected to determine more accurately than has ever been done before the distance around the world. The results will be of great important to scientists of all countries and will be awaited with interest by those who would like to know whether this terrestrial ball on which we live is really larger or smaller than it is supposed to be The measurements of the surveyors, from which this information is to bo compiled, are now almost completed. g§ gj

The task is one of great magnitude and will require from two to three years of solid mathematical grinding, such as would turn the majority of students pale. Many men have worked over this ground before, and it has long been supposed that the person who circumvented the globe covered a distance of about 24,000 miles or that, if he could drop from the icy pinnacle of the north pole to a similar location in the southern hemisphere, he would desoend through one-third this amount of space. The scientists have long oeased, however, to be satisfied with an expression of miles and furlongs for these distances and are striving to obtain a correot measurement in feet. Mr. Andrew Braid, executive officer of the coast and geodetio survey, recently said he believed the distance would eventually be computed so that the error in the diameter would not exceed 50 feet

The preparation for this mammoth undertaking of the mathematical men of the survey requires the acourate measurement of the longest possible distance on the earth's surface. This is what is technically called an arc, because it comprises a portion ef the earth's circumference. The surveyors will soon have an aro 8,000 miles in length, extending from the Atlantic to the Pacifio ocean, which has been determined with infallible precision by the use of the most acourate instruments and the employment of the most skilled men. This line is along the thirtyninth parallel and will be completed, with the system of triangulation through what is called the continental divide, the present Beason.—Washington Post

There is nothing so annoying to a dog as the buzzing of a June bug, and the small boy knows it, and his young heart is glad that it is so. Every time he finds a vagrant dog he pulls the June bug out of a miscellaneous array of articles in his trousers pocket and puts him to buzzing around the dog's ears. lljjThe dog immediately gets down to business on his haunches and furiously scratches fleas from behind his ears.

Tbe Human Electrical Forces!

The electrical force of the human body, as the nerve fluid may be termed, is an especially attractive department of scienco, as it exerts so marked an influence on tho hoalth of the organs of the body. Nerve force is produced ny the brain and conveyed by means of the nerves to the various orjriins of the body, tbussupplying the latter with tho vitality necessary to insure tnelr health. The pneumogastric nerve, as shown here, may be said to be the most Important of the entire nerve system, as it supplies the heart, lungs, stomach, bowels, etc., with the nerve force necessary to keep them active and healthy: As vill be seen by the cut the long nerve descending from the base of the brain and terminating in the bowels is the pneumogastric, while the numerous little branches supply the heart, iungs ana stom-' ach with necessary vitality. When the brain becomes in any way disordered by irritability or exhaustion, the nerve force which it supplies is lessened, and the organs receiving the diminished supply are consequently weakened.
