' BRINGING UP THE KID.
How to RaiseThUdren by the
Stockyards Philosophy.
Pin so blame glad it's a boy that
l*in (felting ov« feeling sorry it ain't
a girl, and 1 m almost reconciled to
its not being Unas. Twelve pound*?
Bully! Maybe that doesn't keep up
the reputation tor giving
good weight! but I'm coming home
on tha run to help him mysrlt, be
cause 1 never knew a fcUow who
wouldcn I he a little abcut the
weight of No. 1, and then, when
yoa led turn up to the hay scales,
claim that it's a well-known acien
tifil piinciple tint children shrin
during the first week like a ham in
smoke. Allowing for tare, thougt.il
be still nets ten, I'll feel that he's a
creuit to the brand.
It's a great thing to be sixty min
utes old, with nothing in the world
except a blanket anil an appetite
and the whole tight ahead of you
but it's pretty good, too, to be six
ty years old and a grauilpop, with
twenty years offigat left 11. your stiil
1 want to raiae oui kids to be a
DMu't son, aud tiicn, it it's
necessary, we can always teach
mm how to be a nth one's, ChilU
nature is human nature, aud a man
who understands it can make his
children like the plain, sensible
things aud ways as easily as ths
rich aud foolish ones. 1 remember
a uice old lady who was raising a
lot ol orphan £raudctiildren on a
mighty slim income. They couldn't
have chicken often in that house,
aud when they did it was a pretty
close fit and done to throw a«ay.
ao, instead of beginnmg with the
white meat and stirriug up the kid l
like a cage full of hyenas when the
' heeding the Carnivore'' sign is
out, she would play up the pieces
that don't even get a mention on
the bill of fare of e two dollar coun
try hoter. She would begin by say
in a please don't-all speak at-once
tone, "Now, children, who wants
this dear little ueck?" and naturally
they all wanted it, because it was
pretty plain to them that it was
something extra sweet and juicy, do
she Vould allot it as a reward ol
goodness to the child who had
been behaving best and throw in
the gizzard for nourishment. The
nice old lady always helped herself
last, aud there was nothing left for
her but white meat.
It isn't the final result which tne
nice old lady achieved, but the
first one, that I want to commend.
A child natu ally likes the simp'e
things till you teach him to like the
rich one*, and it's jost as easy to
start him with books and amuse
ments that hold sense and health
aa those that are filled with slop
a»d stomachache. A lot of mo ti
ers think a child start out with a
braip that can't learu Anything buj
nonsense, so when Maudie asks a
sensible question they answer in
g&ogoo gush. And they believe
tSat a child can digest everything
from carpet tacks to fri d steak, so
whenever Wil ie hollers they think
he's hungry and try to plug his
throat with a banana.
You want to have it in mind sll
the time while you're raising this
boy that you can't turn over youi
children to subordinates any more
ban you, can your bus ness and
£et good tesults Nurses and go>-
ernesses are no doubt dl right iu
their plac , but there's nothing 'just
as good" sa a father and mother.
A boy doesu't pick up cuss words
when his mother's around or learn
cussedness from his father. Yet a
iot of mothers turn over the chil
lren along widt the horses snd
dogs, to be led snd broken by the
servants, and then wonder from
which siie of the family lsobel in
herited her weak stomach, and
where she picked up her naughty
ways, and why the drop* the h's
irom tome *ord* sod pronounce*
others with a brogue. But ahe
needn't look to Isobel tor any in
formation, because she is the only
pers«n about the place with whom
the child ain't on free and easy
terms. —From "Oid Gorgon Gra

Dressing or taring beyond one's
means is nothing less than ahaolnte
dishonesty. II yoa are trying to
do what yon cannot afford to do,
you are living a lie; if you are
wearing* clothes that yon cannot
afford, they are perpetual witnesses
against you. They are labeled all
over with falsehood; your jewelry
your carriages, your furs and your
coatly gowns tell me that you are
rich when you live in a poverty
stricken home and when your
mother is obliged to make all sorts
of sacrifices to enable you to make
this lake display, you lie just as
surely as you would if you should
try to deceive me by your words.
The couciousneas of being well
dressed, and yet owing for it, of
riding in carnages which one can
not afford, or of patronizing expen
sive hotels and restaurants which
one cannot by any stretch of imag
ination or sophisty afford, is de
structive to all respect, to truth and
honesty and to manhood and to
woomanhowd. You cannot afford
to wear lies or to cat lies any more
than you can afford to tell lies.
There is only one possible re>
s-ult upon character of falsehood!
whether acted or told, and that is
perpetual deterioration and demor
alization. No one can live a" lie,
or act a lie, without being dishon
est. When a man sacrifices his
honesty he loses the mainspring of
his character, and be cannot be
perfectedly honest when he is lying
by frequently coatly hotels or res
taurants, by wearing expensive
clothing or by extravagant living
whan he cannot afford it. —Success.
Keeps Pigs Qeaa
Sigma, who has been giving some
sensible and practicable articles to
the breeders' Gazette on the man
agement of swine, says:
"Another thing that I have
thoroughly learned by dear exper
ience is the vital importance of
keeping the youngsters out of the
inud. One week of cold, rainy
weather in muddy pen, even if they
do have a dry, warm sleeping place
will put piggy back at least two
weeks in growth. Keep them out
of the mud, especially cod weather
even if to dothis you are obliged
to confine them to a board floor.
But the ideal way is to have yonr
lots so arranged that the piges csn
have the run to a grass lot when
the weather is good, and csn
be readily confined to the board
floor when it is bad. The mud bath
may have its advantages Tor ma
tured hogs, especially those that
are infested with vermin, but I
don't want any-of it for my pigs
neither do I want it mixed with
the slop so that the pigs w ; II be com
pelled to eat it. In fact, I consider
mud bad —very bad —for a pig,
whether taken intern Jly or applied
extcrndly."
The whole story of "The Sim
ple Life," as written by Wagner, is
told in the threO words which make
ihe motto of the State, "Esse quam
> i eri," which mean-, don't pre end
to be anytbing but what you are.

The F*y of School Teachers.
World's Work furnishes some
striking figures on the pay of pub
lic school teachers.
They are more than striking.
They strike on the injustice of a
system that gets all it. can and pays
as little as possible for it.
It is not denied that teaching is
hard work—hard and wearing.
The teacher, a mau or woman,who
has served a long period in the
schools is not wotth much, for any
other vocation, at the end of that
service. And the job, or profes
sion, calls for not ouly years of
preparation, but tact, patience, the
highest order of intelligence, and
that aomething that has not been
named, but is the ability to get
along in the face uf couutle.ss wor
ries and obstacles.
Now how about the pay?
A coachman—an average, corn"
petent coachtnau, who can drive
and who knows something about
horses —is better paid than the. av
erage school teacher, for in the
whole United States the average
pay of women teuchers is under
S4O a mouth
It is pointed out that in a cer
tain locality of North Carolina a
man who trains puppies tor quail
hunting draws a better salary than
any school teacher in the commun
ity.
In the state of Indiana 12,000
teachers receive less than per
year each, and there are other
States iu which the showing would
be worse.
Are the people of the United
States in earnest about their de
sire for thorough education?
And, if they are, cannot they re
alize that while some—perhaps
many thousaud of good teachers —
will work for a pittance because
they must, b the highest talent will
get out of the business when op
portunity otiers, and that there is
and will continue to be a scarcity
of the best teachers because ol the
scant salaries paid and ottered?
t Moderu education will not pro
gress as it should, or produce the
results desiied, until tlifrre is more
justice displayed in dealing with
those who Jo the work and bear
the burdens. —Atlanta Journal,
Save The Moisture
The rapidity with which a fresh
brisk wind will dry clothes 011 the
line is familiar to every housewife.
Almost intuitively one swings
iu the air anything from
which one wishes to have a trace
of moisture removed, like a-piece
of writing when one has mislaid
the blotting-paper. From the
same principle it follows that where
land tends to dry too rapidly, un
der the influence of constant
breezes, rows of trees planted as a
windreal may prove useful.
It often happens on the great
plains, where the natural precipi
tation is hardly up to the needs ol
agriculture, that eitra fresh evap
oration, due to prevalent high
winds, still further accentuates the
difficulty. In such conditions the
"sbeltrrbelt," or windbreak, illus
trates anew the maxim that "a
penny saved is a penny earned.'
The effect of the wind in increas
ing the evaporation of water sur
faces has long been known. Re
cent experiments show that it is
the stfme with the moisture of the
laud, and that soil several hundred
feet away from a windbreak dries
up* half as again as that near
by—a difference not wholly ac
counted for by the greater shade.
A lake in the woods will evapo
rate only half as fast as one jn the
open.
This is by no means the only ad
vantage of the lines of trees which
form so conspicuous a feature o
many European landscapes. Orch
ard* need protection against the
gales that often accompany the
summer storm. Gardens are more
successful when thus surrounded.
Domestic animals, more dependent
than man on natnre's moods, de
rive great benefit from any temp
ering of the extreme of heat and
cold.
The economic importance of for
ests in rrgnlating the flow of
streams is beyond computation.—
