examines each case and reports the amount
of relief to be granted. It may he withhold
if the beneficiary becomes ineligible through
misconduct or improper expenditure of his
pension, or if he marries. The State con-

distributing relief provided the expenditure
does not exceed $270,000 each year from

Miss Florence Nightingale on Husbands

We need some One we can lean upon, and if
a wife wishes to welcome her husband with
a bright, smiling face, knowing she has
nothing to hide, nothing to fear, and noth-

'perfect love' which 'eastela out fear.'
Irish women aro far more virtuous than
their English sisters as a rule, and I
believe IL is in the main because there is
moro oneness between them and their
husbands. Those little attentions, those
little words of love are not lacking in an
Irishman which are so clear to every
woman's heart, and more particularly so
when she is tired and harassed with house-

held, would soften a wife's monotocous
duties and help to make English homes

Louis wool factor, residing fu Kirkwood,
WAS awakened by his ,rife, who had seen a
light in the hall, Mr, Warner, like all
oitizets of Kirkwood, had recently secured
a dohblo•barrelled shotgun, loaded It with
heavy bnaknhot, and placed It In Itis bad.
room. With this weapon in his hands he
stole cautiously out of the bedroom ai,rl
looked over the bannisters. There was a
man in the hall below and be carried a
candle in hie hand. Ile had on heavy
stookiugs, no shoes, and he was examining
the Maty on the hat rack.
Warner raised his gun, took deliberate
aim, and Ictgo both barrels, The candle
dropped and wont out, there was a horrible
groan, and the sound of a man reeling
against the front door, While Warner
stood horrified at his own act the wounded
burglar made his way outside to where hia
pals were awaiting him with a wagon. N ar-
nor heard Iiia say : " Good-bye, boys,
they've got me this time," and then he
heard two more shots and the wagon was
driven rapidly away.
Meanwhile, the people in tate neighbor-
hood, aroused by the reports, came rushing
to the Beene. They found the body of the
burglar in a little gully near the house. ate
was dead. Warder's allot had made a ter-
rible wound in his stomach. Ono of the
other shots had gone through his brain.
Near the body was found a revolver, and in
his pockets another revolver and a dirk
knife.
Ilia morning the dead burglar wasidenti-
fled as Henry Hall, a respected citizen of
Dos Peres, a little village adjacent to Kirk-
wood. He was ostousibly a trader, and
was considered by all Itis neighbors an up-
right man. The most plausible and the
generally accepted theory is that Hall's
companions, when they found him fatally
wounded and discovery unavoidable, put a
bullet throuuba his brain to end his suffer.

How to Punish Oblldren•
Punishment, like reward, must be adapt-
ed to the feelings and pleasures of the child,
and therefore, few obsolete rules can be
laid down for its regulation. For bold -
spirited children, restraint in a closet may
be useful ; but with a timid child, it will be
hurtful, A child who likes eating may he
punished through its stomach ; one who Is
anxious to possess may bo denied the object
of its wishes ;one whoa selfish and quarrel-
some may be obliged to play alone, and not
permitted the advantages of uniting with
the companions to whom it has behaved 1111
But whatever the kind of punishment, it
must be administered as an act of justice
and necessity, not as the effects of revenge
or anger. If this be not attended to, the
child believes itself punished because its'.
nurse or mother is gross, not because they
have found it necessary to rostra;n the evil
disposition of the child.
The incessant scoldings and upbraidings
nags and prevent him from felting wirer he
tonally heard among persons who, from
knew. On this point 11. S. Bodley, City ignorance or disinclination, are unfit to

"It's an or anized and desperate ,an little children may hear the everlastinn
that Hall was a member of. They are living
right among the people on whom they prey.
The members 'of the gang are doubtless men
in Hall's station of life, living quietly in the
small adjacent settlements. They could not
risk discovery by allowing their wounded
comrade tofall into the hands of the
autlnoritine, end therefore blew his brains
out before they dro c off."
Ascending Mount Orizaba.
The first ascent of the extinct volcano,
Orizaba in Mexioo, was made by Beton
Muller in 1856. The haron anal his friends
climbed with great difficulty nearly to the
top. They luta been deserted by theirguides,
and were so exhausted that they could go
only a few feet without stopping to rest.
Suddenly they discovered that they were
sepaated oy thin ioe only from a vast abyss.
With the utmost caution they retreated to
firmergrouod,losing their provisions as they
did so. A blinding snow storm obliged
them to camp for the night. In the morn-
ing two of the party werestrieken with tem-
porary blindness, and a descent was made
to the village San Andres Ohalohioomula,
The baron was not daunted. He started
with another Marty to ascend another side
of the mountain.
"My caravan," ho writes, "consisted of
Mr. Campbell, M. do La Huerta and two
Indian guides, all on horseback. We pick -
our way among the rocks by dangerous and
apparently impossible paths. Once Renata
fell with his horse. He was on a narrow,
slippery rock, and I expected to see him
go over the precipice, but his Mexican horse
savei himself with wonderfull quickness
and skill. Late that night we camped in a
Cave,
"Early next morning we reached tine
zone of perpetual snow. The air was so
rarefied that the horses could hardly breathe
they became exhausted, and had to be sent
back to the cave. At noon we rested and
lunched on a little snow platform. It was
the last surface of the kind below the 0001 -
mit. One of our obstacles was the softness
of the snow ; at every step we sank to the
knee. We were ascending ab an angle of
forty-five degrees, and often had to crawl on
our hands and knees,
" In spite of a veil end colored glasses
my oyes were almost blinded. The air was
so rarefied that we could hardly breathe,
At every breath sharp pains cut through my
lunge, and I fainted every few minutes.
The sun became clouded, and Nye began to
bo terribly cold. Often we cane to a per-
pendicular wall of snow, and had to go
around it with infinite toil and care.
" Late in the day the summit was twill
distant. The guides refused to go further,
and my friends lost courage ; but I doter -
mined to proceed, with or without thein,
and they decided to go on. A fine, icy
snow began to fall, and we were chilled to
the bone.
" At a quarter to six o'clock, after great
exertions, almost utterly exhausted, we
reached the edge of bio crater- I soon re-
covered from a fainting fit, and made the
observations which I wished to have as to
tine shape, size and appearance of the orator.
My estimate of the height of Orizaba is 5,527
metres.
'The Indian guides made elects of straw
mats, and we descended on then. This
was more like a fall in mid-air than any-
thing also. In a few minutes we covered a
space that it had taken its five hours to
climb, Ab half -past nine we reaohed the
nave and camped for tine night, after four-
teen hours of hard work.

ahead and reported our success."

Boys.
There are boys and boys.
Not only your• boys and mine, but those
of her boys whom we see on the streets and
in the public schools.
Just look at that group of boys in the
school grounds. What a variety of homes
they represent !
I wonder if mothers realize that the lives
of their boys serve as a mirror to reflect the
inner workings of the home to the eyes of
the outside world.
We have all noticed the difference be-
tween boys from refined homes and those .
who eat and sleep in some miserable place
where a shrewish, untidy mother and a
drunken father make the word home only to
mockery.
But let us look more losely at this group.
of boysenteriug the school ground, They
are all well dressed and come from homes
made comfortable by plenty of this world's•
goods. Why, then, is there such a marked.
difference between the two?
Here are a few of the pleasant straight-
forward boys who reflect the tight of a.
Christian home where the mother is a gen-
tle woman and the father a manly man.
Then comes the boy who thinks himself:.
a little better than his companions, ant!,
shows plainly that in his home respectabil-
ity is measured by the size of the bank Re-
count.
Here, also, le tineill-natured boy, tryirrg,
to gain every advantage for himself andi
never yielding to others, and the reflections
shows us a hone where selfishness ands
rudeness are but thinly covered by the eloalr
of company manners, which is assumed as
occasion demands.
Last but not least is one who is more of
a study than the others ; he has a quiet,
almost shy manner, as if accustomed to
being repulsed or ignored, but answers,
politely and with a pleased look when
we make an opportunity In address him.
He does not eo readily reflect the home
picture, but after noting the appreciation
in his face as we discuss the games, lissom.
and other things interesting to boys, we
conclude that be is one of those unfortunate
boys who find no sympathy at home.
Perhaps the another's time is too much taken
up ,vith the demands of soolety, or she
thinks, with her young lady daughterr?,
that boys are a trouble, and the father en-
grossed in business does not realize that
his boy is old enough to need has
com-
panionship. Oh mothers, is this right.*
?
Why do you not give to your boy the soma
love and sympathy which your girl re-
ceIivames?
glad to know that this class of
boys is small in oomparison with those who
aro loved and appreciated, and yet how my .
heart goes out to those boys who will never
know the meeting of true mother love.
Mothers,be very Careful of your boys
tske them into your confidence and trust
them, thereby winning their confidence.
This is the first step by which you may
lead them to the pure life which we all
wish our sons to hoe, and which is better
expressed by the separated adjective --
gentle, manly men
