And who can .say how well the money would have :been invested that took Clara out of ;that criminal mother’s hands at her 1birth and brought her up in quiet com- fort, to habits of self restraint, order, industry? Ought not the state, ought not society to step in and insist .that these children should be rescued from the slums, allowed to know what decen- cy and peace are, and taught to read their bibles and do honest work?” “There are other mothers of crimin- als in higher stations than Clara’s" said the superintendent, “mothers who turn over the care of their children to servants; give them no moral training, no immediate supervision; the heredity of their chlldren is often appetites as unrestrained as those ot Clara’s moth- er, though with less coarse exhibitions. I know two lads, under twenty-one, who are practical outcasts from all decent society; one dying of debauch- ery, the other phenomenally bad. And each of these lads inherits eighteen thousand a year, and comes out of what is called a ‘high family.’ Balls, operas, late hours, cards, wine, days spent in idleness, rising at noon- day to sit up until the next sunrise, no high ambitions, no useful occupations, no deep moral inspirations, worn-out, fevered, nervous constitutions, these make mothers of criminals just as surely as the conditions of Clara’s mother, the pawn shop, the slum, the jail, the street. The criminals result- iing are perhaps less numerous in the first case, because the children are less in number, and the personal influence of outsiders upon them may be better, and more numerous Opportunities opened by their environment for an escape to better things.” n ‘ ' 1 Clara was marched ofi'. She’ll act like a fiend; and then will come the dun- geon, and she’ll try to starve herself or choke herself, and she’ll get herself over into the hospital, and she’ll serve out her year without learning to iron a shirt or sew a. decent seam, or learn one thing by which to earn a respectable living. And she don’t want to earn it, either. Why, the girl served a six months’ sentence, and the day she left she said: ‘Now, I’m going to get as much whiskey as I can hold,’ and in three days she was back, raving, sen- tenced for a year. And she’s .only twenty-one.” V].â€" V ' V v "You find the mothers of criminals in the two extrezunes of social life,” said the matron. “How about the the middle-class mothers 2? “I find mothers of criminals where- ever there are mothers unconscious of their great calling, neglecting of their children, indifferent of their religious training. given to self-indulgence, blind to the moral grandeur of self- restraint. The necesmty of personal labor, the pressure of general industry, the safeguards of educat on, may make the ill-reared child of the middle-classes less likely to be a. criminal. Take this reformatory, let us end where we be- gan. As years go on we shall find that while some are really reformed here, many will return again and again; and the children of women who are and have been there, will be coming to us. It will not be all heredity, not all environment, not all the indifference of the state of infancy, not all the neglect of society shown to its infant membe's, but all of those combined, in greater or less degree. produce criminals.”â€"â€"â€"N atrional Temperance Ad vocate. board was 4,022, of whom 3,011 were accepted, showing an advance of over 500 an the highest number of applications ever received in any «me month.

The line from Toronto will follow the Cana- dian Pacific to Cooksville, and thence a new road will be built to Hamilton. Meanwhile the line from Hamilton to Buffalo by wav of Welland will be under contract, and when these two portions are completed they will form a direct connecting link between the Canadian Pacific anJ the New York Central. This route will be a good deal shorter than the Grand Trunk. â€"â€"A writer in the bicycling world claims that the man who bends over in riding a bicycle is not “humped,” but the fellow who undertakes to sit up is round- shouldered. He claims that the back of the stooped rider is straight, the bend being at the hips, the shoulders being pushed back square by the weight resting on the riders hand resting on top of the bar. The rider who tries to sit straight reaches under the grips and by pulling,' draws his shoulders together, cramping his chest.

There are apparently some hog newspiper men who are not willing to live and let live, but went to g .bblev everythinv. They rare a disgrace to the fourth estate, and better qualified to drive a stage than to run a newspaper. A most shocking accident and fatal- ity cecured on the farm of Mr. Jas. Davidsom, Lot 6, Concession 13, boundary line, North Monaghan, on Saturday afternoon, which resulted in the death of Mr. Davidson. Mr. Dwidson and a. farm hand were at. work m a. hay field tnkmg in buy. Mr. Davidson was on the top of the load and tin farm hand was “pitching 7’ One of Mr. Davidson’s cthren was mking, driving a one-hwrse rake, when the animal Immune frightened and ran away. D.recting the farm hand to nun and catch the runaway horse, Mr. Davidson remained on the loud. The runaway horse circled round the field and then headvd for the gate. Fear- infl that thp animal would escape this WC V _ way, Mr. Davidson jumped from the top of the loul to the whiffletrees,:an(i was about to step to the ground, when the horses attached to the hay wagon became frighzened and made off at trem ndous speed. Just how it happen- e'i is not knOwn. The tarm hand had caught the runaway horse attached to the hay rake, and looking around saw the team struzgiing near the fvnce, whi'c Mr. Davidson was lying near by, with bloozl oozing from a. wound in the head. He was immediately carried to the house and a messenger was dis- patched for Dr. Haliday, who, upon examination found that the injured man was suffering from a. severe scale wound and four broken ribs, and every evidence of internal injuries were Pl‘es- ent. It was feared from the outset that the internal injuries would result, ‘a'nlly and these fears were sadly real- ized when at the expiration of four hours from the time the accident took place.

Once a week a train of ten or twelve cars loaded with this tropical fruit leaves New York city for Toronto, which is the distributing centre for Ontario. It is but a very few years ago that one car of bananas would supply the demand for the whole province. The red variety which is seldom seen outside of the large cities, is probably the choicest banana grown. There was an accident on Irondale and Bancroft railvsay on Saturday night. The smallengine ran off the line and was dumped in the ditch. Miss Eva. Austin, of Haliburton was in the carriage and sustained some serious injuries, but she is recovering. Salem, Mariposa, is noted as one of the best wheat growing centres in the fine township of Mariposa. Mr. Thomas Reazin’s farm is said to be the highest point of land in the town- ship, and 18 noted for the fine fields of wheat and other grain it produces; but this season the extremely dry weather has proved too much, and Mr. Reazin as well as other farmers in that section will have a small yield of grain; if rain comes freely there is yet achance {Or the root crop.

The tramp had hung around all day evidently waiting until dark- ness to get revenge, and he was afraid would do him some injury during the night. Should Be “’0“ Endowed. It is a question of some moment whether or not: we have too many col- leges in America. The Englishman, in whose country there are but two uni- versities worth speaking ofâ€"Cambridge and Oxfordâ€"is apt to laugh at the small colleges, many of which are J termed universities, that are scattered' over the United States. The friends of Yale and Harvard think it would be well if there were no universities on this side the Atlantic except in 'New England, and urge men who propose to leave money for educational institutions 01'. This college was founded in com- memoration of Marcus Whitman, who, when Tyler was president, rode 4,000 miles in midwinter to arouse the Unit- ed States government to the importance of taking in the territory now divided up between Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Whitman lost his life at Walla Walla, and his name is held in great .reverence there, as it should be. The college, however, has had to struggle for its existence, since the endowment has never been adequate Now, how- ever, it is proposed to raise at least $200,000 to add to the present fund, and at least $130,000 of this sum is known to be ready. For the remainder the friends of the college look to New Eng- land, where descendants and relatives ; of Mr. Whitman reside. These include flex-Governor Russell of Massachusetts ‘ and other well known people. The move- ! ment for the endowment of Whitman is ; attracting wide attention, and we are isure the New Englanders who have i been appealed to will be generally and generously applauded if they respond with liberality. to add to the endowment of the two largest and oldest universities instead of founding new ones or helping those still struggling. In the minds of many thoughtful friends of education, however, the small college is a good thing. Its students may come in close contact with the president and the best members of the faculty instead of meeting tutors chief- ly. The leavening influence for culture of many colleges scattered over the country upon the mass of the popula- tion is much greater than the influence of only a few really large universities would be. One of the most interesting of all the smaller institutions of higher education is Whitman college, at Walla. Walla, A Lightning rho-mph". Business Manâ€"Can you write short- hand?
