nal of philanthropy and reform, an ex
cellent account of tlio recent confereiico
of tho National Prison Association,
which met nt Albany and was briefly

There must bo no extravagance In la
bor, in time, In fuel, In machinery. Ho
looks for the minimum of cost and tho
maximum of profit. It Is a matter of
business and ho manages It nloiiKiitrlct
ly business principles. How many
farmers imuiagu their farms along
business principles? Too few huro
uUnits, And yet farming Is as much
tho farmer's business as mauufactai'
lug is the buKliicbg of tho other. If
tho manufacturer trusted to luck, al
lowed Ills machinery to lie out of doors
nnd rust, worked only when ho felt like
It and permitted his employes to work
only when they felt like It, failed to
keep books nnd figured everything on

This Is ono of tho blttcrst things wo
mothers have to bear when wo get old.
Wo hnvo learned thon that wo can't
help our children to lend their liven
ono bit better. There Is not one single
stono wo can clear from before their
feet bo our old fingers ever so willing.
With yearning hearts wo seo them
making tho mistakes wo could tench
them to avoid If only they would listen.
Wo boo them going through one experi
ence after another, stumbling here,
again hurting themselves ngnlnst the
snmo corner you hurt yourself so long
ago, repeating all tho world-worn mis
tnkes, whllo wo elders wntch anxiously
and may not even cry out "Tnko enre."
Our sons repent tho follies of their
fathers; our daughters make over ngnln
nil tho mistakes of their mothers. It
Is very bard to sit In sllenco when you
wo them doing all tho things that you
did nnd then so painfully learned bet

point to tho fair open road If our chil
dren would let us, but wo areas uso
less to them iih guide-posts to tho blind.
Wo must wntch our children lose them

know o well nnd see them at last
