1" Teiegraw. Tho Cioverrcment of Servant. Gentleness with dignity always at tracts, while impatience and severity repel. But discipline can not be abandoned; penalties must attach to all governments, but not to the exclusion of reward. A too lavish use of eituer nas a bad effect; faults must be corrected.

of course, but continuous fault finding in trifles wounds the spirit of a servant and weakens influence in graver matters which need collection. Likewise continual reward encourages a mercenary spirit, and leaves no room for the enjoyment a kind-hearted servant woultf nauiraliy feel, in gratifying a from whom she als.o receives favors. Many times occur when a servant should be substantially remunerated, but often sioile or word of ppreciation is sufficient reward. Politeness and consider-ttion endear a mistress to her servant; she is raised in her own esteem, which, so far from producing arrogance and self assertion, begets respects for othera; elevation and softening of her irdute by kindness will make her a more suitable inmate of a home. But this kindness should never grow into familiarity.

It is a trite but true saying, that Familiarity breeds contempt." Confidence in matters of real interest, is often allowable and serves as a bond of union between the mistress and her servant, but an interchange of idle gossip destroys the very foundation of all good influence, viz: the respect which a. mistress ought to command by her right of superiority. But she must not 4e the superior in intellect, aloue. but in tmritv of thought and action. A garrulous servant may sometimes ab- trude upon her mistress the recital of a pieco of gossip, but this can not occur a second time if no appreciation is mani fested.

Sometimes the disposition may oe checked by silence, alone; to many a story falling on dull ears and creating no sensation loses its relish in the tell ing, and attempts at such familiarity being futile are abandoned. The vital evil of idle tale t'iiing, in every form should be entirely excluded from the household. Let not the tongue of gos sip be heard, nor the listening ear be given to anything so demoralizing One is always degraded by bearing hurtful talcs, even from an equal, but when it is allowed domestics it is in iurious in the extreme-.

"Do you call that a hatchet?" he remarked; 'look here a minute ami I will show you." Ha picked up a small saucer made out of granite and rudely fashioned oi he prmelpie of an India-ink saucer. He iilied the hollow of the saucer with water and then nibbed the "hatchet" hi it as he would have done a cak; of water-color paint.

They would rub the paint-stone in watei in this stone saucer, and then apply the stripes to their skins directly with the stone.

"In fact, the other night she fairly parahzed ma. I have been in the habit of letting her sleep in my bedroom on cold nights, and she has climbed up on lhe bed to keep warm.

Night before last she came walking up and planked herself down square in front of my nose, I like a cat, but I am blessed if I like to have one poke her tail up my nose nnd sing when I want to go to sleep; so I took hep up gently antl put her elown at tho foot ol the bed. What does 6ho do but walk straight back and curl upon my pillow. That riled me a little, so I chucked bet down again, and to keep her from get-cing up against my face I gathered my blanket up around me and covered my head up. In half a miaute I felt ber walking around my head antl hunting for a place to get under cover. Sho couldn't work it, so then "she dug her claws into the blanket and pulled.

Presently she got the blanket down from the back of my head and began my neck. She didn't growl or seem angry, but acted as though she vas punishing me for not giving her part of my pillow. Of course, I wasn't going to lie there and submit to that, so 1 grabbed her and lired her tlowa at the foot of the bed. She didn't get mad, but came walking back again, as if she belonged there and was determined to have her rights. When she strolled as far as my stomach 1 raised my band to hit her a belt over the head.

Most any other cat would have jumped out of ihe way at'that, but she didn't. She sat up on her hind legs and lifted one paw and held it ready to strike back at uiii. She was the coolest-looking imp of a quadruped that I ever saw, and it made me think of the stories of witches having cats around their premises wheo I saw her squatting there waiting to hit fack, and her eyes shining green in the d.vrk. I felt afraid of her, bang me if I iiein't, and I let her come back on the uliow, but as soon as she got to sleep can bet I took her by the back ot he neck and dropped her down tha ack stairs.

(MeClure vs. Briggs: Supreme Court of Vermont. Harmony Among Servants, Where several servants are united under one roof, there is still neeei of self-possession with taet in keeping the different elements in harmony. There will be suspicious, among them, some times of injustice and favoritism, from the mistress, or of imposition from one of their own number.

Such grievances can only be adjusted by skillful, thoughtful management. The only course is that of just and righteous dealing with each, independent of favoritism. No cringing concessions shotuet be made to one on account oi ner importance. Some might demur to this, because there are circumstances, when it seems impossible for a mistress to refuse uujust demands. Sickness, or a number ol visitors may be made the occasion for discontent, and concession apparently become a necessity.

For voung house keepers, this frequently is the inevitable course. 15ut experience, should teacn one some good system of management. whereby she can secure herself against the necessity of yieltliug to unjust demands. Every woman should strive to conduct her household upon such "a plan during health and quiet, tnat her service will be desirable at all times. All are known in the circle from which they choose their domestics, if they make friends among them by kindness and a just government then will rarely be found wanting some who will minister to them in sickness or emergency.

Sometimes a most kind antl judicious mistress is not thus requited. Servants are not always appreciative. Some-limes, too. her service may not be desirable on account of a disturbing element in the presence of another member of the family. Many nave these disadvantages to contend with and it is not always the fault of the housekeeper, that she fails, at all times to secure efficient service.

But there are many errors in the household government which ean be 3orrected if women give intelligent at tention to them. Mrs. E. J. G'urley, in 'Jood Housekeeping.

Liarne.t of an Indian iy. The government maintains several schools for the education of Indian youth, and the success that has attended these schools has fully justified their establishment. It would seem, however, that there is urgent necessity for action on the part of Congrvss to make posi tions for the Indians who pass through the session. A voung Indian named Frank Goodloo, who passed through the Hampton school, has pointedly directed attention to.ttua deficiency and has written to the editor of the Washington Post. In referring to the different visits to Hampton of a committee of Congress men, this vounr Indian says: "1 was a pupil at Hampton, and because I decided to fit myself lor business pursuits I had no idea that all the money that is being expended by the government for us was a delusion and a snare simply a trap to feed a number cf hungry teachers and merchants, but I am forced to that conclusion because I came to Washington a few days ago preparatory to going south to my home in the Indian Territory.

I now learn that I cannot do business with ocr people unless I get a permit from the government and give a bond of 810,000. I cannot do that. I am only worth a lew hundred dollars so wbat am I to do? I lm not bodily able to farm; my inclination does not favor that calling. A white man who can get political backing and give a bond for $10,000 will trade with our people, get their money, and take that money to improve real estate in the white man's country. If the poor Indian could trade with his own people, all the money he made would be expended in improving the Indian country and in helping his brother Indians.

Had Congress better expend any more money to educate us Indians if we cannot use that education unless we happen to be rich? The white educates his son, and that son don't have to give a bond to i trade with his people. What shall I do? I t. Tb ire-at Exposition 1111 Nearly The immense exposition building is up and is nearly completed, with the exception of part of the roof. Although the plans seemed on a grand scale the building itself is much larger than anything yet constructed in western Kansas, aud contains, including the outside stall sheltered by the same roof, fully 15,000 square feet of space. The building looks immense on the outside, and on the interior it looks much larger.

It is capable of holding 5,000 people, and looks like the enormous tabernacles built for camp- meetings. The central portion of the roof is to consist of canvas admitting light and so arranged as to allow perfeci ventilation. Along the center of the building jvill rise at regular in rval3 tall flagstahsbearimg flags, which will give the whole structure a gay appearance. he building contains twenty-eight large departments, while outside it, is room made under the roof for twenty-eignt Prof. "Worael, the celebrated artist who arranged the Kansas exhibit at the exhibition, the displays at the Western ationol Fair, the Kansas State Fair, the Kansas display at New Orleans and the agricultural department at he- Louisville exposition, will arrive in the city on the first of October and begin the work of decoration.

This will occupy him two weeks and we may depend upon it, that the interior of the building will be a work of art. Sentinel. BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENT. RECEPTION GIVEN TO INDIANA VISITORS AT CIMARRON LAST NIGHT. Cimarron, Sept.

The important question of pleuro pneumonia was the subject for general discussion among the cattle owners, stock dealers and butchers The state veterinarian visited several cattle sheds during the day, as a precaution against the further removal of am ma Two additional men were engaged whose duties are to count the animals at differ ent- eds every morning and evening, The penalty for the offense is considered severe enough to cause hesitation about breaking the quarantine, yet the quaran tine is known to have been broken at two distilleries.

The disease has broken out at the Chicago distillery. Cattle men de clares the disease now prevailing, has ex isted in their sheds for two years, but they imagined pleuro pneumonia acted more rapidly ana severely. Jhey never dreamed cf the character of the dieaae. Thf.r is much unfavorable comment provoked by the fact that so many who steal hundreds of thousands and hurry to Canada come from the ranks of the moral asd the religious. The bigger the steal, the more apt is it to be found that the thief whs a pillar iu some fold and looked upon as a bright and shining light.

This is not so strange after all. The fact that a man has led au upright life is one that makes him trusted by others. This trust gives rise to his temptation. He has the handling of funds that otherwise would never come within his grasp. At first he may be worthy.

But all the time he is human. When he falls there is the surprise that he of nil men should have fallen. Beset with the temptation of accumulating trusts, he ends in disgrace and crime, while hi.i not over-scrupulous neighbor, who never has such a thing as a trut forced upon him. jogs along in the even tenor of his way, never stealing, because there is no chance. Omaha Herald.

splendid trait of self-reliance on which we Americans vaunt ourselves is showing forth at its best in the case of shocked and battered Charleston. The earthquake which shook half the city to pieces occurred scarcely more than a fortnight ago, and other tremors have followed since; yet already the task of rebuilding has been undertaken. The people did not sit down ith their hands in their laps, like the people of cities similarly stricken in the old world, and cry to the powers that be for "With the aid that began at oirce to pour in upon them unasked from the fuller purses of their fellow-citizens of the United States, they have sustained themselves merely long enough to look about them and lay plans for the work of restoration. Even though the disaster to Charleston has its multitude of darker phases, it has at least one bright cne in its exhibition to all the world of the recuperative power of an American city smitten with an appalling fcrm of misfortune hitherto almost unknown to the United States. It is doubtless better to err on the side of a too great striving for rectitude than of utter lawlessness, but the former may be carried too far.

When, after much loss of life and money, the Indian robbers and murderers, with a record of the most hideous and atrocious crimes, are finally captured, the big wigs in Washington do not know what to do with them. Instead of ordering them straightway to the gallows, a form of death which would be the most lenient punishment, they are debating seriously whether or not they are "prisoners of war," and are discussing with many pros and cons, the question as to whether a court martial or a change of climate would be the best way of getting this elephant off their Ijands. It is ludi crous to see this great nation pondering over such a question. uk democrats ot this city who in duced some old republican soldiers, who wanted office very bad, to become candid ates, are developing all at once a great love for the old soldier, who has had from that source heretofore, nothing but sneers and contempt. It is not a pleasant spectacle to see old republicans hanging round the democratic party for votes.

When a person rings up the "central and repeatedly calls until patience ceases to oe a virtue, when the wires keep up a continual buzz and hum, when words slow spoken and deliberate, reach the receiver's ear as a stammering, stuttering, idiotic jumble of nonsense, a person surely would be justified in saying a tele-peone was damned.

They had the right to do this, as to hi in or any other member of the public. This right is not based upon the fact that he belongs to a particular race, but arises from the consideration that neither he nor any other person could demand as a right under the lawr that the privilege of entering the place be ac corded to him." The case of the Rev. B. F. Foster in Garden City will be a test case for the courts of Kansa3 to decide.

If the Civil Rights bill be a failure it ishigh time that the weak points were strengthened. The national government cannot allow such an important law to become a dead letter. December may start in cold, yet it will not last, as it will be warmer than November till about the 20th, when winter will set in in dead earnest with a- bliz- zard. hile it will not be very warm in the northwest, yet there will be a large amount of raiu with floods south and east before ohe blizzard starts, I do not, how ever, think the firstblizzard will be quite as shveie as that as that oi last danuaav After about the 20th of December, 13S6, winter will continue with unabated and increasing fury till April, 1887. But it does not necessarily follow that each day will be colder than the preceding da There will be several mild spells with rain in the south, but there will be coth ing that could be called a thaw during the entire winter after December 20th.

February will be colder than -J anuary, ana while March will not te quite so cold as Jt ebruary, yet it will be a cold, stormy month. The nicety with which the goose bone meteorologist has mapped out the weath er indications makes one's teeth chatter. The young man whose "Benjamin' is at his uncle's (to keep out the moth) must brgin making arrangements to call for it earlier this year than last. Picnics and soda pop must be gathered earlier than ormerly, too.

It appears that as in everything else, Kansas takes the lead in the settlement of her public lands. There were five acres sold and taken in Kansas during the last fiscal year, to three in Dakota and the game number in the total nuin ber of acres disposed of in Kansas being in Dakota, 3,706,000, and in Nebraska, 3,552.000. Five million acres are equal to sne-teuth part of the state, and the figures above Given are a little more than one-tenth lh total area, which i acres.

England has turned the gunf of her war ships upon the towns of the heathen for offenses not much greater than this.

It will be interesting to note what action she will take toward the government ot poor eliete i-pam lor daring to lay her sacrilegious hand upon the worship of the sons and daughters of Britain. Russia is a contemptible old tyrant She- is badgering poor little Bulgaria unmercifully. It is pretty tough for one country to be told by another to turn loose a lot of traitors or take a drubbing A thing like thrs makes a gallant people feel in the humor for resisting to the death. But Russia is stromr enoHgh to enforce her wishes, and Bulgaria will have to submit unless, indeed, the other powers should interfere in her behalf. 1ID YOU XOT AOTF.
