A new experiment in the way of a junior republic, is said to be in successful opera- tion in Baltimore, the subjects of it being colored girls. It was put in operation on a small scale by Miss White, the assistant matron of the Johns Hopkins Colored Or- phan Asylum, and its object is to train children to be frugal and industrious. Ace cording to a writer in the Baltimore San, the scheme is working well. Currency of pasteboard is in circulation, each piece corresponding in value to the I eoin it represents. It is treasured as care- fully as aotual money, for in the institution it has the buying power of money. The girls are hired by the week. The pay varies according to the usefulness of the workers, the lowest wages being 25 cents a week, and the highest $1. With this the girls bay all they have, with the exception of board and lodging. Shoes, stockings and other wearing apparel, cake, candy and all extras must oome out of the money earned. Most of the children soon learn to take -care of their money, and to learn tlfat idle- ness leaves them badly off. Experience teaohea them that they must be careful with their clothes or they will need more before they have earned enough to pay for them. Sorne, almost of couree, are improvident, They soon run through their money aid are then classed as paupers. To be a pauper entails annoyances. •The pauper must sit at the pauper's table in the dining room, must have her name in the pauper's list on the blackboard, and must go to bed earlier than the rich girls, by -which title the more provident students are designated, If the pauper needs clothes, she is given an old garment and told to patch it. Naturally every girl desires to get out of this class es Boon as possible. She, therefore, becomes industrious and practices economy. Not more than 8 or ten out of the 72 girls are to be found in the pauper class at one time. Rewards in the shape of small additions to the wages, and punishments in the shape of a decrease of the same are also resorted to. Such a scheme can hardly fail to teach lessons of industry and thrift. -THE FOPULAR BOOK. Hundreds of Thousands. Now in Canadian Homes.

It possesses the most impreg- nable fortress in Canada. It is fitting, therefore, that Dodd's Kidney Pills should be found doing their great work in the city of Quebec. Dodd's Kidney Pills are the oldest mire for Kidney disease in pill form. Dodd's Kidney Pills are sure strong and cer- tain defence against death and suffering from any disease caused by unhealthy kid- neys. Mr. James Walters, of Quebec, says :— " I am glad to say that my cure by Dodd's Kidney Pills, of Kidney trouble, has been perfectly satisfactory to me. I often recom- mend Dodd's Kidney Pills," --e Famous Irishman's Nerve. Daniel O'Connell, the famous Irish agi- tator, had a contempt for physical danger. On a certain occasion, as his only surviving son has recently narrated in Temple Bar, a meeting had been convened and a large crowd assembled in a room on the first floor of a building -in a small city in Ireland. O'Connell was about to address the people When a gentleman, pale with fear, made his way to the platform and hoarsely whisper- ed : "Liberator, the floor is giving way 1 The beams that shore it up are cracking, and we shall all fall through in a few min- utes," "Keep silent V' said O'Connell ; then, raising his voice, he addressed the assembly. "1 find that the room is too small to con- tain the number who desire to come in, so we must leave it and hold the meeting out- side the building." At this a few rose and went out, but the majority retained their seats. Then O'Con- nell said : I will tell you the truth ; you are Irishmen, therefore, brave men. The floor is giving way and we must leave the room at once. If there is a panic and a rush for the door we shall all be precipitated into the room below, but if you obey my orders we shall be saved. Let the 12 men nearest the door go quietly out, the next 12, and so on till all have gone. I shall be the last to leave." His instructions were obeyed to the let- ter, and he waited, patient and calm, till all had gone out in safety. Then he walked quietly across the sundering, cracking floor, reaching the door just as the shattered beams gave way. And thus, by the force of his strong will, a terrible accident was averted.—Denver Post Your Physician's Prescription.'"

Perhaps the first person to believe in the genius of Robert Louis Stevenson was his mother. She was devoutedly attached to him throughout his life, and realized his value to the world long before the world gave him a hearing. It wee her lot to live to mourn his death, but she was comforted in her trouble by the sympathy of the whole English speaking worldet -.-egete etetee steet Some time after hi a death a great memo- rial meeting was held in Edinburgh. For his mother, says the author of " Stevenson'e Edingburgh Days," it was a gala day. She started for the Music Hall not too early, feeling euro of a seat with a "reserved tick- et " in her hand. - She had declined to sit on the platform, and preferred to be a simple unit in the audience. The crowd was beyond expectations. I Mrs. Stevenson arrived to find every pessages blocked, and a surging mass at the main en- trance clamoring for admittance. She feared that she, with them, woeld be turned away ; but as a forlorn hope, she ap- pealed to a policeman. "It's, nae use, it's fa'," he said ; " re- served seats were a' ta'en an hour ago by folks that had nae tickets, and they wadna gang oot." "1 mast get in l" cried Mrs. Stevenson. roused out of her usual calm. " I've aright to get in. I am Robert Louis- Stevepson's mother." Ay, you've the best richt," the police- mcrand7plied, and. turning to the crowd, he ie Mak' way there. She mun get in. She's Robert Louis's nether." People who had thought themselves pack- ed too tightly to move, somehow packed closer and let Mrs. Stevenson ague* past. Breathless, hustled, and for once with her mantle and bonnet a little awr, much against her will the crowd pushed her to the platform. There she hastenejd to a back mat, and in a few 'minutes s e heard the orator of the day, Lord Roseberry, Bey with an emphasis which the audiene under- stood well, "His mother is here." Asthma.

Bishop Whipple says that when he vettent into the west to prearh he was ex eedingly anxioas to reach artisans and railw y opera- tives, of whom there were hundre s in Chi- cago. He called aeon William McAlpin, the chief engineer of the Galena railway, and asked his advice as to the best way of approaching the empleyeeseof the road. "How mull do you know about a steam engine ?" said McAlpin. " Nothing." "Then," said McAlpin, "read Lard, ner's RailwayEconomy' until you are able to ash an engineer a queetion about a loco- motive, and he will not think you a feel." The clergyman had the practical sense to see the justice of that advice. So he" read up,e.and in due season went to the round- houee of the Galena railway, where he found a number of engineer* standing , by a loco- motive which the firemen were cleaning. He saw that it was a Taunton engine, with inside connections, and asked at a venture : " Wbich do you like best, inside or out- side connections ?" This brought out information about steam heaters and variable exhausts, and in half an hour he had learned more than his book had ever taught him. When he said good- bye, he added : "Boys, where do you go to church!

Moore, of the weather de- partment, of Detroit, has issued an order prohibiting persons connected with the ser- vice from smoking cigarettes daring °Ike hours, stating further that those who smoked cigarettes at any time would be mentioned in •the confidential reports. Pipes and cigars are not barred. Chief Moore claims that cigarette smokers become careless and lax. "It's an excellent thing," said Mr. Pague, of the local weather bureau. "While I do not think the order is directed towards the men in the service, it will undoubtedly do an incalculable amount of good.. In our service here there is not a man who smokes cigarettes, either in or out of the office, bee three message boys connected with the sor- vice are almost imbecile from—use of them. Our work demands men with clear brains, and a healthy physique, and while we all indulge more or less in cigars, even were the order never issued I would not have an employe in the office who smoked cigarettes. If every - other business establishment would follow the lead of the weather depart- ment, it would be a wonderfully good step for socioty." CENTRAL Hardware Store. STO-NTS.
