At first sight, the crime seemed to be without excuse, for the hoy enme of u (food family, with a line of sturdy nnd upright ances tors behind him. His mother wan almost he;i i t -broken at: the discov ery of his guilt. "He has always been such a good boy!" she sobbed. Careful questioning revealed sever.il significant facts. One wan thai for years the boy had been allowed to go to his mother's purse and help himself whenever he ehose, upon the single condition that he told her after he had taken t lie money. It was also ascertained that for years the father had frequently deceived the mother through the son.' It is not strange that the boy had learned his lesson. In the eyes of the teach ers through whom he was finally saied to honesty and truthfulness, the deepest part of the blame lay with the father and mother whose dishonesty and carelessness tempted him to wrong. "I have spoilt an hour to-day with Jones' father," tin id a college president, in a I'.illi cult ease of discipline. "1 have con ceived a better opinion of the son after meeting the father!" lcn J'.riggs, of Harvard, commenting upon the incident, according to a writer in the Youth's Companion, gives a vivid picture of the pitiful procession that endlessly besieges his otlice door, from the mother who insinuates that, the son gets from the family of the father whose am bassador she is-all his offensive traits, to the futhcr who, when his win is suspended from the universi ty, keeps li i in in a neighboring city at cost, and with any niuount f I'li'Viirication, rather than take him home nnd let the neighbors sus pect the truth. "One of the sur prises in administrative life at col lege," he says, sadly, "is the under hand dealing of parents, not merely with college ollieers, but with their. ,n sons." That is one side of the picture. The other also he knows the courage, tin: patience, the un wearying love of men and women whri, through nil experiences, wheth er glad or sorrowful, stand side by side with their children; "parents holding the standard high for their sans .and for themselves in every re lation of life; women, struggling in silent loyalty, to free their children from the iniquity of the fathers, and tuen as tender as women, and us true as truth itself." There are ninny desirable things in life many ad vantage undoubtedly to which wealth and culture nnd wisdom seem to hold the key. Hut there is some thing better than these; and the boy or girl, young man or young woman, bo matter how, poor, who has known great home friendship, begins life with the most priceless heritage that the world can give. Always SomrthlnK to Lrara, Scientific conclusions are not al ways infallible, A scientific commis lion announced the day before the eruption of Mount Pelee that the location of St. l'lcrre was such that Its security was com plete. Tiien something happened. About 20 years ago, recalls Hoswell Field, in the Chicago Post, a learned man of se! nee wrote a beautifully profound -routine1 to prove that such was the peculiar location of Kansas City that any tornado cloud formed i:i the vicinity would be diverted by -he air currents' and carried olong the course of two rivers. This, right in the middle of the tornado season, allayed the fears of the citizens until two or three. days later, when a tor nado enme bowling along from south east Kunsas and toppled over some of the most distinguished religiuiis and commercial Institutions in Kansas City. We do not cite these incidents in derision of science, or in order to scoff at truly wise men. We merely rise to remark that we live to learn. The tragedy that has oecurcd in the Kurd family suggests to me, writes a lawyer to the New York Sun, that many parents make a fatal mistake in ignoring the rights of certain of their children in their wills. No matter how much the conduct of a child may dis please the parent, that child should not be cut out of the will entirely and left with the proverbial shilling. Such a will, in most cases, creates a terrible family feud, and the result is generally that the disinherited one becomes a vagabond or a drunkard. No matter how wayward a child may be. a decent sense of parental feeling ought to in spire the parent to remember him fairly in the making of the will. In thecitv of Hot Snrinirs.

Some beekeepers make a great ado If anything is mentioned about a different sized hive or section from the one they are using. Such ideas would keep us all in the ruts to gether. A difference in the size of hives is very necessary to suit the great variations of climate. A shal low frame that would allow a large top surplus and winter the bees well in the sunny south, where they are confined in the hives only a few days at a time, would be very risky where the bees are confined from 80 to 90 days. It would not allow the bees to form in a cluster deep enough for safe wintering. Large sections are easily disposed of among farmers, lumbermen and those who labor In shops, but city people who do light work like small sections the best. I have often thought a section that could be re tailed for a dime would meet with much favor in the cities. Odd size sections insure fresh made ones, which are less liable to break than standard make, which are sometimes several years old and very brittle. Square sections do not look well. All the odd sizes 1 ever used were a lit tle longer than wide. Those who intend to purchase a site for an apiary should make a thorough investigation to lenrn what wild flowers or cultivated crops will produce honey for several years within a mile of the apiary. The ex perience of 40 years in bee keeping has caused me tb believe there is but very little honey gathered outside of a radius of one mile from an apiary if there is a fair amount of flora within that distance. Of the several hundred lines of bees that J have fol lowed to a termination not half a dozen went the distance of a mile. A. H. Johns, In Farm and Home. AN EXCELLENT COOP. HIS BIK3 FOMIVEII.

Be Ham the Capital Thro Teo.ro aad Mad a City at ll-Comsreoo Oaated Hlsa ta 18T4 aad He Weat te Mexico. "Boas' Shepherd is coming back to Washington. He has made a great fortune in the silver mines of Mex ico, and returns to bis native city to spend his remaining days in peace. He is 67 years of age, and enjoys the distinction of being the best loved and best hated man that the capital city ever knew. Alexander H. Shepherd's name will live in history as the originstor of the new Washington. After all is aid and done, the work of the ex perts who have planned the future Washington aa a city of delight had the basis of "Boss" Shepherd's work to go upon. That is how he derived his sobriquet of "boss." For three years he was the absolute ruler of Washington, and in that time spent $40,000,000 in making it what it is to Uuy. Alexander II. Shepherd, says the Philadelphia Press, is a native of Washington. lie was born in the "flats" Jannary 13, 1835. His parents were in ordinary circumstances. His ancestors for 150 years had lived in this country; some of them fought in the revolutionary war. Shepherd himself was for a time a soldier in the late war. His father became well-to-do before his death, which enabled the boy to obtain a pretty fair education. He entered Colum bian university. But the execu.or of the estate, it is said, stole the money and young Alexander started to learn a trade to help support the family. Then he became a shoe salesman, and later learned to be a plumber and gas fitter. Within eight years of en tering, his apprenticeship he was a pa-tner. Within the next 12 years he had built more than 400 houses in Washington. His prominence in business led him into politics. He was a member of . -V ii Hens should be kept quiet and com fortable. Do not have the mash sloppy; it should be crumbly. I If laying hens are confined they I should have meat or milk. Allow us much exercise as possible to all classes of poultry. . Unless a fowl is very valuable it does not pay to doctor it. Sorghum nnd broom-corn seeds are excellent as a variety feed. i (live your house plenty of fresh air every flay, winter nnd summer. Milk may be profitably fed in any form sweet, sour or buttermilk. The poultry house should be white washed inside and out, roof and sides. The time of hatching is of more importance than the breed, if you want winter eggs. Young ducks should be sold as early ns possible, nnd to that end should be pushed to get their growth. Commercial Poultry. Feeding; Meat to Poultry. When feeding meat to hens do not use that portion which is fat. The object in feeding meat to hens Is to supply them with nitrogen and not fat, as the grain contains all the fat and starch required for them. If the, fat is fed -it does not assist in any manner to provide material for eggs, but rather retards than assists lay ing. The cheap portions of beef, such as the neck, are better for fowls than the choicest fat and lean steaks. Blood is excellent for fowls, and can be easily fed to them by mixing It with their soft food. The ordinary ground meat contains both fat and lean, and sella for about three cents a pound; but as the meat is subject ed to heavy pressure at a high tem perature most of the fat ia removed.

Two years after, in 1862, he became presi dent of the body. He was a member of the levy court in 1867, and presi dent of the Citizens' He form associa tion in 1870. Then congress turned Washington and the District of Co lumbia into a territorial government. He was appointed governor of the district, and president of the board of public works. He had always borne the reputation of being a pro gressive, liberal, yet determined man. Washington at this time was a drowsy, hnlf-northern, half-southern city. It had been laid out on liberal lines but had sever conformed to them. It had no adequute building laws. Its streets were mud holes in winter and dust distributors in summer. Shepherd determined to niter this. He had the power nnd he proceeded to use it. One morn ing the people of the old town wak ened to find hundreds of men at work on the streets. It was the advance guard of "Iloss" Shepherd's legions. Within the n?t tiir ytsrs, from June 1, 1S71, to June 24, 1S74, "Hoss" Shepherd ruled Washington with a rod of iron. Jles -wis brn by praising him ended by cursing him As improvements grew taxes iu creased. Many men w-re financially ruined by the burdens imposed upon them. Newspapers in other citie. were the only avenues for the male dictions of the citizens; the local papers were bound hand and foot by the influence of the "boss" or si' lenced by n knowledge that he wnfi doing the right thing in improving Washington, although it was unpop ular nt the time. Nothing halted his determination The city became a hive of municipal Industry. All streets of any impor tance underwent transformation They were graded, sewered and paved, and it is now admitted that the work was well and admirably done. Some idea of the improve ments that Shepherd made in Wash ington may be gleaned from these Interesting figures. He planted more than 10,000 trees' nnd paved 118 miles of streets, besides laying 207 miles of sidewalks. His army of Inen dug and carted away 3,340,000 cubic yards of earth. He had con structed 317,19 tmt of pipe sewers of 13 to 15 iMehm ia diameter; four miles of sewers treat It to 30 feet in diameter and ow Iv miles of sew ers from 3 t f Hut la diameter.

Never in The lrrftioa of J , any circumstance Uood Brerdlna-. whate.w to betray liTltabllity or uneasiness or unre strained temper, that is the perfec tion of good breeding. There are those with whom the canons of good breeding are more potent than the laws of Christian conduct. Rut hap pily, remarks the lioston JVutclimnn, both here are at one. lloth condemn displays of temper. Serenity is the requirement of the social law, and peace of miml is the sovereign grace of the (iospel. There arc, to be sure, times when both the social and divine law wnrriuit n display of passion. The man who does not kindle when he sees a brute torturing a child, or striking n woman, is unworthy of his manhood. Only the occasion must be commensurate with the display. The great trouble with most of us is that by reason of a false perspective we mugnify trifles out of all relation t their importance and keep our Reives in a Btate of constant irritabil ity or disturbance. We spend so much emotion on broken crockery that we exhaust ourselves for any exercise of righteous anger and keep ourselves constantly unhappy. There are few wrongs that anyone can do us so se rious as breaking our peace of mind. It is the part of wisdom for us to guard that. Jnet What Ho Needed.
