Boston Woman Speaks Plainly Re
garding Training of Children.
Hina Floretta Vinlnit, Arnmoil l>y *•
Und Mannrra f Yonnit*ler, De
clares the Crjln \eed of
the Home is a Switch,
Miss Floretta Yining, who is wealthy
and prominent in the Daughters of tin-
Revolution, and is the owner of a syn
dicate of papers in towns along the
south shore of Massachusetts, has cre
ated a sensation by declaring in an edi
torial that the children of the present
generation are shockingly ill-bred and
disagreeable. The editorial reads:
“As this is my visiting season, and i
am a guest every night at dinner in
different houses, it astonishes me to
see the ill-bred manners of the chil
dren of the different homes. Where
there is only one child they seem to
own everything, including their fathers
end mothers.
"One or the other of their parents
excuses, when in my opinion nothing
short of a good sound thrashing would
avail anything. Another thing, chil
dren should, goto school, rain or shine,
hail or snow, if they are in good health.
Asa general thing, children go bad
Itecause the mother is *iot at home to
look after them. I am grieved beyond
anything to see the children left with
the servant girls while their mother
goes about, and when company comes
they have those ftarful ill-bred man
ners, which the mother knows is dead
wrong. The husband looks up to her
aid srys: "Is that the care you have
over y iur children ?’
"Taking children to theaters even
ings is wrong. At dinner the other
< vening n child took to I he dinner table
n novel. She read continually. Soup
was set before her; it cooled off.
“Her mother said: ‘Stop reading,
end eat your dinner.' She took no no
t ice of her mother’s command, but kept
on. The second, soup came. She treat
ed it ns the first. After awhile that
was taken out.
"When the meat course came she ate
no meat, but crumbled bread into the
gravy, reading all the time. The con
versation was general, ns other guests
were present, hut she sat opposite- me
at the table,and I was so mad to see h< it
actions!
“Fathers and mothers think the
world of *heir children and ruin them
with kindness. A few good lessons
and a good, sound whipping now and
then, showing you are master r.f the
situation, would help fnern immensely
in after years, when you are not there
to care for them. Reverse things from
what they are now.
“Get up in the mornlngnnd go to bed
early. It is the cause of successin life,
and, above all. take no impudence from
your children; no. not one word. Show
that you an master.”
The various fiest families of the state
w ho have had the honor of entertain
ing Mi-- Vining will read her remarks
with boundless joy and becoming hu
mility.

MIbSED GREAT FORTUNE.
South African Colonial Wn Five Min
utes Too l.ule to Heroine Owner
of De liver* Mines.
F. W. Sal/man, the oldest South
African colonist, missed by about
five minutes the acquisition of a for
| tune of $.{5,000,000 —the great De
Beers diamond fields, now one of the
richest mines in the world, says Stray
! Stories.
He was surveying Griqualand
when the original owner of the fa
mous farm, W. De Beers, held it. It
was then about as barren and hope
less-looking a tract as any in Africa,
and De Jtecrs, with endless hard
work from morning till night, and
very little help, had all he could do
to scrape a living out of the place.
There was hardly any water, and
grass was scarce and poor; tin* total
profits only amounted to a pound or
two per month. When Mr. Salzman
had completed his survey De Beers,
tired of profitless toll on his patch
of sunburnt desert, offered to let
him have the farm in exchange for a
w a istcoat.
Mr. Salzman refused at first, and
then said he would think about it.
He went to Cape Town later on.
where he heard strange rumors of
iuckv finds in the district he had
left/
The next time he trekked that way
he went 00 miles out of his roast to
see De Beer* and clinch fho bargain
offered. He found a stranger’s wag
on and oxen “out.spnnncd" at the
farm when he arrived.
Its owner had come only a few
minutes before and had already
made an offer for flic farm which
was accepted.

Pride is a feature of the younger
generation of I’ittsburgers of wealth.
I hings nf which some of them think
they cannot he proud—such us the
way in which their hard-working
fathers pot their start in life—they
try to forget. That the fathers are
sometimes proud of this same low
ly start is responsible for this inci
dent:
“Do you know, young man, that I
nm e was very envious of your
father?" said one of the steel king
to the son of a man whose wealth,
while great, could be written with
one less figure, says a writer in the
New York Tribune,
“And when was that?” asked the
young man pleased to think that
there had ever been a time when the
“king" envied his father.
"It was this way," returned the
old man. “I was working in a ditch
for $1.50 a day—”
“f didn’t know you started that
way,” interrupted the youth.
“That’s the way. I was working
in this ditch for $1.50 a day, and
yogr father was working in the same
ditch, lie got $1.75 beeati.se he was
stronger, and I envied him the extra
quarter.”

FELINE FRIEND OF CONVICTS.
IIIk Gray Cat U the Pel of Prisoner*
in ilie Mtelilicun City (lull.)
Penitentiary,
The pet of the prisoners at the In
diana state prison at Michigan City
is a gray cat, said to be the largest
animal of the kind in the state. It
weighs pounds, is nine years old
and has been inside the big walls
since It was a kitten. All over the
big institution it is known as Tige,
says a local report.
Warden Reid, who values the an
imal very highly, says that Tige has
a queer fondness for the prisoners,
one of whom claims to be its master
and from whom it receives all kinds
of attention. The cat makes up with
a very few of the officers, allows no
familiarities on Hie part of strangers
or visitors, but in every case ex
pects the caress of the prisoner and
gets it.
In its early days it was the cat’s
custom to visit the cellhouse and to
make friendly calls along the ranges,
rubbing its fur at each grated door
and singing its little song as If it
wished to purr out its sympathy for
the confined. But there came a time
when its place was usurped by an
other of its kind and fiiis resulted in
the old haunts being abandoned.
This was brought about by the eell
house keeper bringing to his abode
a kitten and the dislike occasioned
by flic newcomer has been unrelent
ing. Tige may now be seen about
flic yard, coming and going without
hindrance. Most of the time it stays
about the pumphouse, where its mas
ter holds sway and where no other
feline may intrude and get away
without a fight.
PASSION AND THE HEALTH.
Sump Kmot loiin Tv ml to Protonic I.lfv
While Other* Have the
Opitoailp KlTeet.
“The passions’ effect on the health
is not sufficiently regarded,” said a
physician, according to the Philadel
phia Record. “The passion which is
best for the health is avarice. It
keeps one cool, encourages regular
and industrious habits, leads to ab
stemiousness and makes against all
excess. And hence the avaricious,
flic misers, live to a great age. The
misers of history were all noted for
their longevity. Rage is very bad for
one. This passion causes an irregu
lar. intermittent beating of the heart
and t lie intermittency In time may
become chronic. Hatred creates
fever. If we hate we grow lean.
This hot passion eats us like a flame.
Fear is bad for the nerves, the heart
and the brain, and, therefore, we
should never permit ourselves to be
afraid. But the strangest effects of
all have been caused by the passion
of grief. The medical books record
cases where, coming suddenly, in a
violent shock, it has caused a loss of
blood from the lungs in one person,
paralysis of the tongue in another
and a failure of sight or temporary
blindness in a third.”

An American who was touring Eu
rope last slimmer came across anew
version of the naval battle of Santiago
when he reached Madrid. It was writ
ten by a Spanish historian, who said:
"When our fleet steamed out, the
enemy at once sought to run away, as
a matter of course, but our siiijis
dashed among them firing right and
left.
“Some 20 of the Yankee vessels had
been sent to the bottom, and the rest
of the fleet were Hying in terror from
the awful missiles Hung f rotn our guns,
when Providence willed it that every
Spanish officer and man should Ue
uvercome with exhaustion.
“Iu this awful emergency there was
nothing left for our brave admiral but
to signal to each of his ships to run
ashore. They accordingly sought the
beach, and being very sleepy and disr
eon raged our gallant men waded
ashore and concluded to stay there.
"Spanish honor was saved again, and
the queen regimt ordered the hells
rung iu every town in Spain for three
ueeessive days. It is rumored that
three of Selior Sampson’s ships got
away, but this cannot be verified.”
