The widespread interest in the Henry j
Geo *ge movement and the large vote
polled for him emphasizes the impres-1
si'ju created within the k.>t few weeks .
that a new and important element must'
he taken into account considering the ' <
eliances of the old parties in the ['residential
straggle &: i?>. Suppose that ,

in New York city that lie polled recently. (
That lie will be the Labor candidate for
the Presidency two years hence was decided
weeks ago. when it became apparent
that he was to get something of a
vote. His right hand manager, Mr. Louis j
r. L'ost, said three days ago that enough j
votes were assured and enough interest j
had been awakened in George's canvass j
to warrant making him the Labor candi- j
date against Cleveland and Blaine, and it j
was a settled fact that he would run. i
'We shall draw votfcs from both parties,'"
lie said, "and enough of them to hold
the l>alancc of power and to give us re-:
cognition as a party and as a force in.
politics." So, then, suppose the men :
who voted in New York city yesterday i
for Henry George should vote for him ;
for President, wliat would be the effect;
on national politics?
It is conceded that the George votes '
came more from Democrats than from
Republicans, yet it is difficult to estimate
the proportion from the figures, for the
reason that many Republicans who were
frightened by the apparent strength of
the George movement voted outright for
Hewitt, the Democratic candidate, on the
principle mat ne was uie strongest, w^didate.
They desired above all tilings to
defeat George. It is conceded that the
Republicans would be the chief gainers
in a national contest in which George is
the Labor candidate, and they have been
in high glee since George's strength l.as
increased. They say that Blaine would i
surely cany New York were George to j
get it),000 votes in isssin New York city j
alone, and they hail the situation with, j
great joy as an oliset to the damage ;
threatened to their party by the prohibi-1
tionists.

In September last an unprecedented
demand arose for thc<e coins. which soon
exhausted the *VUX'<> worth which had been
transferred from the sub-ti ^tsuiles to i
the Mint at Philadelphia for cleaning and J
re-issue. Since that time the work of 1
striking new pieces has gone on without
interruption to .the full capacity of the
mint, over and above the mandatory coinage
of the silver dollar, and in order to in i
crease the output of minor coins, the Philadelphia
Mint's quota of silver dollars has
been reduced, and the quota at San Fran-:

He is ^ in all in stature, but nevertheless has j
always endeavored to impress upon his j
household that he was a wonderful man. '
About a year ago he endeavored to rival
Lhe famous jugglers by swallowing a poker. :
He succeeded in getting it down his throat, j
but getting 11 cu: was a umerent unng. a

poker drew it out. Hoi'man suiiereil .severely
for some time afterward from in
datamation ?>f the stomach, but finally recovered.
llis experience, however. did not cure
liini of his appetite for swallowing solicis.
Last night after paruiking ci" supper and
while somewhat under the inhuence of
liquor he took an ordinary silver piatcii
lable knife about 9? inches 2*ng, and horrilied
his family by announcing that he was .
going to swallow it. Throwing his head;
back to the angle assumed by professicn;d
jugglers, he took the knife by the point
and inserted the handle in his mouth, lie
pressed it slowly inward until ail but about
jiu inch of the blade had disappeared from
view, iioflman men snowed signs of
rJar?i, and when finally the knife disappeared'
entirely from view lie ran around :
the room apparent agony and frighr,.
A neighbor who happened* to be ia the!

could not obtain ^ sufficient hold on it. and
it suddenly dropped down into the stomach.

of chioroform. Then throwing ^5 Ins

surgical operations known 'o medical men.
He made an incision in the abdomen, and
after locating the knife in the stomach
.made a small incision opposite the place:
w.here it was found. The knife w;is removed
and the cuts carefully sewed up. ,
Tiic whole operation was performed in less ;
than 20 minutes. Today Hoffman was
resting quietly, anil tlie doctor says there is j

>aradise. Yet I had heard all this before.
li! London, when I first set foot
here, and they found 1 had been to j
Mexico, the inquiry was for the floating ,
llower gardens. And I was compelled !
.o hang my head and admit that i had j
never heard of them before.
But even here in this city I was asked j
Almost as soon as I arrive 1 by a sharpnosed
woman, with short hair and a j
batr over her shoulder, if I had yet seen
Humboldt's floating llower gardens. j
"No? Well I have: going to write a i
' 1 ' ' f li_
ooo k a Doui mil. tv ij mi ex hi i. lungsi m.- j
cent! ju>t too sweet for anything. *"
I went at once to the library here in
Mexico City, alter my return from the j
cattle ranch, to liml out if possible what :
Baron von Humboldt had really said, if
anything, about the floating flower
gardens. It is a grand edifice, the
library building here.?an old church,
but a stately one,?and ;t is jus: being
repaired anu made ready for the two
hundred thousand volumes it is to contain.
And, although I found a line
statue of the great traveler here, up to
his knees in shavings and sweet-smell- j
ing. new pine lumber, which is being
into shelves, i could lind? '
because of the confusion, perhaps?bin j
few of iiis books: and no account at al! i
of any floating gardens. And so I am \
careful to say that 1 speak of these j
flower gardens as Humboldt's floating :
flower gardens only because; 1 have !
heard others call them such: not that 1 1
found one line of Humboldt's on the .sub- i
ject. Vet you ami others may.

Disciplining Children.
Firmness and consideration arecardi- j
nai principles in disciplining children.
Firmness is necessary at the earliest a<re.
in all the care and management of a
:-hild nmch thought should be exercised.
At a very early age a child will take advantage
of a weak mother. At the same
time ii is not strength 'to make a set of
rule* compel children to obey them
as if all children were made alike: but
* t - i
watcli a etuhi closely. una out wmtt are |
it? natural tendencies, and adapt to j
then: 'lie few rules necessary lo its i
needs. If it is natural for a child to I
want its t'ood at certain intervals, then i
feed it regularly according to its natur- j
a! demands: and so on through the various
things in which a child must be
trained. l>y careful observation a
mother can soon learn a child's necessities
and make its life regular without
friction.
The secret of good discipline lies in
:n!::j?l:Uion of forces to the nature of the
child. Consideration of peculiarities
must be made even in very young children.
Seldom two children can be
governed in the same way: and it is a
duty of parents to study their individualities,
otherwise there is no discipline, j
I'll- the care given agitates evil tendencies
in them. There can be no doubt
that much of the naughtiness in children
is unintentionally taught, or developed
in litem. When grown people are so
far from perfect, it seems unfair that
every apparent fault of the child should
be made so much of; and many times
what seems wrong in a chilli is only a
natural act under the existing conditions,
and if we take time to examine
tiie matter we shall be more just Injustice
and weakness in'parents make
sad hevoc with children's characters.
There is a strong latent force in children
which we must strive to control: we
cannot change its nature, but by i
strength and patience, and thoughtfulness
we may guide it,
IliMiulK/.iiilliin v ic Viovmfnl ic th/>
X ' > V. i I4>J uu ?mv j
lack of discipline. It may be worse, fox
if :i child is let alone, there is a chance
for a natural development of good: but j
if a child is continually prodded with
rules ami directions, it may grow rebellious,
its obstinacy is aroused, and its
liner feelings are blunted. Many a time j
by forbidding we create a desire; as we
invite falsehood by prohibiting something
that the child will do thoughtless
ly. ami can only refrain from doing by
coi.slant self-control; and often the
thing forbidden is of little consequence
compared with the train of evils its prohibition
introduces. When the child
has disobeyed it is punished: the ilex'
- i* * t .. . i:._ 11 ...
uitic 11 <usooev.s il iKiiuruuv uiiis maisehood
to avoid punishment. Children
:ir?; };sop!ly and physically cowards,
and ti:t- gi-catesi cam i= . fitcessary to
prevent tiiis weakness from becoming a
large element in their character. A
thoughtless. wrong act is nut so bad as
wilful' disobedience. We may give a
child many opportunities to do wrong
in tiiis thoughtless way. It does not
follow that because a mother slips over
nsaiiv uf the small misdemeanors in a
chihl's life that she is without law or
order. The strength of his inlluence is
needed for the more important occasions.

not in any way fitted for the post."
"I i afraid that can't be helped.
See, fcj.*e is the order from his Majesty
