16 - THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JUNE 16, 1895. The School. Little glrl, where do you g0 to school, And when do you go, little girl? Over the grass from dawn till dark Your feet are in a whirl; You and the cat jump here and there, You and the robins sing, But what do you know in the spelling-book? Have yon ever learned anything? My school-roof is the dappled sky, And the bells that ring for me there Are all the votces of morning Afloat in the dewy air.” Kind nature is the madame, And the book whereout I spell 1s dog’s-eared by the brooks and glens ‘Where I know the lessons well. Frrz-HUGH LUDLOW. Ethics and Finance. “Mamma, don’t punish me before you hear what I have to say.” Thus spokemy little fellow of eight on my return from a visit the other day. e “What did you do?” I inquired, “why should I punish you?” “I brought my express-wagon full of earth from the woods for Mrs. Thomas, and she gave me 5 cents for doing the work.” “You know I never allow you to take money for doing favors.”’ I replied. “You must take the money back to Mrs. Thomas and tell her that you were glad to do the work, but that mamma does not allow you to take money for it.” “All right, mamma,” he answered promptly, and away he marched like a little man. But when he came back, oh, what a change! His eyes were filled with tears, his lips were quivering and he was unable to control himself sufficiently to eat his supper. ¢ “Edward, now try to be’a good boy,” I finally said, “‘or you will have to eat in the kitchen. “T can’t be good,” he answered, ‘‘and it is all _your fault. I worked so hard, I think I deseryed that money.” “But you know I have often told you that you must be willing to do things without being paid.” “Mummu.% id not ask for the money, and I only wanted to buy little books with it, and vou never give me a penny, and’’— here he burst into tears. R§My heart ached for the poor little fellow, but I felt that I was right, and I had to appear firm. Later on, when the child had calmed down sufliciently to eat his supper, and when I reflected on the evil effects of the deprivation on his temper, doubts be- gan to arise as to the wisdom of my course. Had I looked at the matter from the right point of view? Ought I not to have made allowance for the little fellow’s hon- est pride in his labor and (its just reward ? Should I not have shown some apprecia- tion of his desire to spend his money in a sensible way ?—Exchange. Perhaps, unconsciously, this strikes the key-note of a most serious problem in the training of children. Is it safe to encourage a child’s noble and unselfish impulses in this sordid and commercial world? A thoughtful man, who was for many years in charge of a children’s home, said that his system of training proved a failure, because it nnftted the pupils for “‘gettin on in the world.” Taught mutual helpful- ness and expecting no other reward for A Runaway Team. effort than the natural results, they were peculiarly happy at the school and full of a beautiful unselfishness. Out in the world these same traits fore- stalied failure, and were so “‘impractical” as to be fairly comical. How could a young man succeed who felt it wrong to try to get the bestof a bargain, who was unwilling to take from others all that he could possibly get, regardless of their wants or needs? It is beautiful to see children generous, to see them fly to serve you for the mere joy of pleasing as is the inconsiderate childish fashion, But isit prudent to en- courage all this? Is it not rather prudent to teach the child to be greedy and calcu- lating, which is worldly wisdom? I fear the questionis too big for the mothers, and that society must solve it. Dorothy and Dolly. “Dogs is dogs an’ cats is kittens,” but dollies is just onlya ole pretend, an’ I don’t love you one single hit more. Your hair ain’t really hair, an’ your feets ain’t really feet; your head is sticked on with glue, an’ your olearms are sewed onto you. Youcan’tdo nothin’ but sit up an’ behave like a lady, an’ any ole stick can do thatif it’s just only got some big sleeves onto it an’ ahat with feathers stuck on top. ’Course if you could jump around an’ hol- ler an’ turn summersaults like me and Johnny can, folks would say you was aw- ful naughty, an’ maybe you'd get spanked most al% the time and putted in beg‘ But anyway you wouldn't get ashes into your head, an’ your sides, an’ your back an’ you could eat whole piles of ‘things an’ have fun. The best thing for to be dolly is a boy, an’ pretty soon I'm going to do it. Then some times vou can take off your shoes an’ wade, an’ you get your ole curls all cutted off, so they don’t get pulled an’ combed no more; an’ nobody dont a’ tell you to sit still an’ be a little lJady an’ play with a ole pertend dolly, an’ “to talk pretty.” Then if you runs away an’ goes in swimming, or else goes in a boat an’ most gets drown\ion, they just only says ‘‘dear, dear, dear, boys most always s boys.” My mamma says girls ought to behave like ladies for to teach boys how, but when 1 begin to do it Johnny says that ain‘t no fun, an’ he won'’t play, an’ he goes 'way off with the verry bufdest boys he knows, an’ won't hardly come back no more never. I don’t want ‘to kill little birds with stoneg, mother | an’ tie tin cans onto cats, but I awfully bad want to have my hair cutted off, an’ go barefoot, an’ scoot all over the hills, an’ never be a little lady no more. That's what for 'm going to run awayan’ be a boy, dolly, an’ I'm goin’ to dress you all up, an’ tie you onto the tail of my kite, ‘cause boys has kites. You can sail way, way up into the sky, an’ never come down | no more till you is made over into a meat | baby what don’t know how to pertend nuthin’, Boum-Boum. The child lay quiet and pale in his little white bed and, with eyes dilated by fever, | looked straight before him, with the strange fixity peculiar to sick people, who see already what is invisible to the living. The mother knelt beside the bed, clincn- gznied by the orchestra, his cry of boum- um ! Jacques went out and soon brought back a clever toy clown. It could be made to do very funny things, and it had cost the poor workman more than he could earn in many days. But he would have given a year of labor to bring one faint smile to the lips of the little invalid, who only looked at the toy sadly and said, “That is not Boum-Boum! I wantBoum-Boum!” Oh, if he could only wrap the child in his blankets and carry him in his arms to the circus. Ii but Boum-Boum would come and say good-day to little Francois. Jacques must try. He found 2 man—no ]onfer Boum- Poum, but Mons. Moreno, an elegant man, who received him in a library full of books and pictures. Poor Jacques was sadly embarrassed and could only stammer, “Pardon, excuse,” and twist his old cap between his fingers. But after a while the great artist of the circus understood, and he said briskly: “Well, well, your boy shall see Boum- Boum! Letus go quickly.” 111 Coming in at the door Jacques cried joy- fully to his son, “Francois, be happy! Here is Boum-Boum "’ The child bright- ened up, and leaning upon his mother’s arm he looked hopefully at the kind face that was smiling at him. Then his face | fell and he lay back disappointed, and say- ing'more sadly than before, “No, that is not Boum-Boum.” | Theclown looked gravely at the little | pinched face on the pillow, looked in- finitely kind, infinitely pitiful. “The child is ri«vf\t,' he s: “this is not Boum- Boum,” and he went away. i In half an bour he was back again, this time the real Boum-Boum—the Boum- Boum of the circus. The spangles, the | butterfly, the wide smile from ear to ear, the yelfow tuft on the head—everything was complete. And upon his hittle white bed, the joy of life in his eyes, laughing, wcepini, happy, saved, the child clapped his thin little hands, cried bravo, and said with the gayety of a seven-year-old child, who flares ing her fingers to keep from crying, and 1 watching, in an agony of grief, the progress of disease upon the poor pinched visage of her little one; and the father, a brave workingman, forced back into his red eyes the tears which burned them. So the day broke, clear, soft, a beautiful morning in June, and entered into the little chamber in the Rue des Abasses, where lay dying little Francois, the child of Jacques Legrand and Madeline, his wife, He was 7 years old. Fair, rosy and full oflife; gay as a bird had the little one been but three weaks ago! But a fever had seized him and he had come from school one day with drooping head and hot hands. Soon he had lain there in his little bed, and sometimes he had cried in his delirium, looking at the little shoes his mother had put in a corner, “itis all right to_throw little Francois' shoes there, he will not need them again. Little Francois will not go to school again—never, never.’” This night the child had not been deli- rious—he only lay there quiet, sad, already weary of life. ‘When they would have him take a pow- der, a syrup, a little beef tea, he refused. He refused everything. ““What is it that you want, Francois?” “I want nothing.” ‘It is necessary to rouse him,” the good doctor said. “This torpor frightens me. You are his parents—you understand him. Find something to jcall back to earth the spirit that is trying to fly away.” And he took his leave. Jnc?es brought toys, tin soldiers, pretty books. Thke child would have none of them. “Tell me,” the father begged, “will you have a little pistol, a drum ?’ “No,” the poor little voice answered, wearily and almost angrily, “no, no, no.” ‘‘But you will have something, my dar- ling,”” implored the mother. “Tell me, tell me,”” and she put her lips close to the little ear and whispered softly, as if it were a secret. And all at once the child hurst out: want Boum-Boum !” II. Boum-Boum! The father and mother looked at each “p Blue-eyed Mary. other in affricht. What did the child mean? Was he raving again? Boum-Boum ! “What does he mean, Jacques? What does it mean?’ *‘Yes; Bouw-Boum ! I want Boum-Boum! I want Boum-Boum !” And all at once the father knew. He remembered well the day when he took his little Francois to a matinee at the grand circus, when the child had eyes only igr tp& clown.lthe beautiful clown, covered with spangles, with a great ga: butterfly on the back of his black costume, friskin; about the ring, standing on his head with feet in air, throwing up his cap and catching it on his head, and at each up like a rocket: “Boum-Boom! It is he, it is he this time! Hurrah for Boum- Boum! Three cheers for Boum-Boum! Hello, Boum-Boum [’ Iv. ‘When the doctor came back that day he found seated on the edee of Francois’ bed a clown with painted face, who was mak- ing the little one laugh and laugh again, and wlo was saying as he dropped a lump of suga: into the glass of medicine, “You know if you are not good, Francois, Boum- Boum won’t come again.”” And the little one drank. ' “‘Doctor,” said the clown, ‘“‘don’t be A Young Laboring Man. jealous, but it seems to me that my grimaces do more good than your pre- scriptions!”’ The father and the mother wept, but this time it was for joy. ‘“How are we going tq pay you for this?” said Jacques to the clown when that gen- tleman brought Francois in from his first drive in the carriage. The clown held out to the parents his two enormous hands. “By a shake of the hands!” he said, “and by a great big kiss on _each of that boy’s two rosy cheeks, and by permission to put on my visiting cards: Boun-Bovw, Acrobat doctor and ghysiclm in ordinary to little Francois.

Tommie—Come on, Ned, lets go out be- hind the barn and burn our fingers with these firecrackers. Ned—What do you want to burn your fingers for? Tommie—My mother told me not to. ‘Edna and her brother were going down to catch polywogs in the creek, when the little girl tore her dress as she scrambled tnrn, at each change repeating, accom- | through the fence. ‘‘I'm goinghome,” she announced. “Oh, no,” urged the boy; ‘“‘come on down to the creek awhile, and you can tell mamma when we do go home.” Edna was a thorough-going dvo\mg jpor:. son, and knew what she wanted. “You go on,” she decided, *“and I'll go and get my spanking first and then come down and play.” “What’s gram’ma doing?” I asked a lit- tle tot the other day. ‘‘Playin’ on the organ,’”’ “But gram’ma doesn’t know how to play on the organ,” I objected. “Oh, yes, she does.

Elder Lays Open the Scalp of Contractor Donnelly. The Street Inspector Was Assaulted for Lowering a Cesspool Assessment. E. T. Dounnelly, a street contractor, undertook to horsewhip Special Street In- spector George W. Elder yesterday at noon, and as a result a few moments later Mr. Donnelly was on the operating table in the Receiving Hospital with his feelings badly lacerated and his scalp in a similar condition. The row started in the Offize saloon, on the corner of Park and City Hall avenues, where Elder went to get his overcoat preparatory to going for a drive. Donnelly, who was in the saloon, had been drinking and he started to abuse the inspector, calling vile names. Elder walked out, telling the other to keep away from him. As he stepped into his buggy Donnelly jerked the whip out of the socket and quickly struck the inspector in the face with the lash. Elder jumped to the sidewalk and grasped Donnelly by the throat. The latter either fell or was pushed, and in failing struck his head againsta brick wall, sustaining an ugly wound on his scalp. Friends conveyed him to the Re- ceiving Hospital, while a policeman in civilian clothes placed Elder under arrest. Tle latter was released immediately on his own recognizance by Judge Campbell. “I have been warned that I was going to be assaulted,” said Mr. Elder later in the day. “Donnelly, I understand, is a part- ner of Garrett Burke, who put in the cess- poolson Army and Guerrero streets. We re- refused to allow the assessment, which was made out by a brother-in-law of Burke in the Superintendent of Streets’ office. The assessment was withdrawn from the Mayor’s office, and Donnelly and his friends have promised to get even with me, They are also after Mr. Gaden. I did not strike Donnelly, but I would have done so had he not fallen, for when I caught him by the throat he was trying to strike me with the butt end of the whip.” WANTED FOR FORGERY. Henry Wischmeler, After He Recovers From Asphyxiation, Will Be Taken to Prison. Henry - Wischmeier of Redwood City, who was taken to the Receiving Hospital from the lodging-house, 12 Ellis street, in a state of asphyxiation on Friday aiter- noon, will have to answer to two charges of forgery when he recovers. Yesterday afternoon A. D. Spearman, Pacific Coast agent of the Prove Woolen Mills Company, 112 Bush street, reported at police headquarters that he had beon trying to find Wischmeier for the past two weeks. He saw in the papersan account of the asphyxiation, and on_going to the hospital identified Wischmeier. Two weeks ago Wischmeier, who is a tailor in Red- wood City, called at his office and_got him to indorse a draft for_$25on the Bank of San Mateo County, Redwood City. The draft was returned ‘‘no funds’’ and Spear- man had to honor it. On June 8 Wischmeier got H. D. Free, saloon-keeper, Seventh avenue and D street, to cash a check for him for §150n the Bank of California. The check was dishonored, as Wischmeier, as inthe former case, had no account in the bank and never had. Constable J. W. Hall of Redwood City also reported at police headquarters that ‘Wischmeier was wanted there. He gota gold watch valued at $85 from Frank Bern- zott, father of Gus Bernzott, his partner in the tailoring business, to take with him to the City to be repaired. That was nearly three weeks ago, and nothing had been heard of him or the watch since. What he has done with the watch is not yet known, as Wischmeier is still unconscious at the hospital. ———————— OHARGES DISMISSED. Meyer, the Obstinate Juror, Will Not Be Punished for Contempt. Julius Meyer, who stood for acquittal in the Paulsell robbery case against the pro- tests of his co-jurors, will not have a pun- ishment for contempt added to his other troubles at present. Relative to this case Judge Belcher yes- terday made the following order: The respondent has been ordered into cus. tody upon a charge growing out of the same mafter as the contempt proceeding, and the Judge of this court is about to sit as & commit- ting magistrate to examine into that charge. The charge to be inguired into is grave. It would seem fair and right, therefore, that the court should not go into the merits of the con- tcmgt ‘proceedi lest it might in some way work a prejudice in the mind of the court as to the other ‘matter. In this view and with the desire to be perfectly fair, the order citing the respondent to show cause in contempt is dis- charged without reasons. = This opinion exempts Meyer from pun- ishment on a charge of contempt. On the other charge— perjury —his preliminary hearing has been set for Wednesday at 10 A. M. Meanwhile the obstinate juror is en- joying hisliberty on $2000 bail. NOVEL WALL DECORATION. White Dresden Designs Are Popular for Mural Orna- mentation. FURNITURE TO CORRESPOND. Allegorical Panels, Copied From » French Paintings, Are Ex- tensively Used. At last genuine novelty has been found. Something entirely fresh,at once a decora- tive surprise and a relief from the monot- ony of walls treated after conventional methods. The idea originated in the mania for Dresden china that has taken so deep a hold on popular favor. The scheme as portrayed shows a bou- doir. There is a dado of the usual height of soft, creamy paper, and above it are evening lectures. He proposes to make a pilgrimage to the tomb of Rabbi Akiba, one of the ancient Hebrew sages, and will there conduct a series of investigations, the re- sults of which will be made known on his return. The reverend gentleman desires to ex- press his regrets that owing to the limited time at his disposal he is unable to visit the members of the community personally in return for the many kind- nesses he has received at their hands, more particularly on the recent occasion of his silyer wedding. He desires them to take this expression as an adieu, and hopes to tind all the members of his flock flourishing on his return, which will be in time for the Jewith high festivals in September next. 1 WINTHROP IN JAIL. He Tries to Get Free on a Writ of Habeas Corpus. 0. W. Winthrop, held to answer before the Superior Court on a charge of murder- ing Jennie Mathews, appeared before Judge Murphy’s court yesterday on a writ | of habeas corpus issued by Judge Hebbard. Attorney W. W. Alien appeared for the defendant and argued for a dismissal on the ground that the police court evidence | had not been sufficient for a holding and | that Judge Joachimsen himself had prac- | tically admitted this when he said that the | evidence was insufficient to secure a con- | viction, but that he preferred a jury should A DRESDEN ROOM, panels outlined by moldings in plastic re- lief. Each panel is first covered vinth cream white paper showing stripes alter- nately satin and dull finish, but \vltho\_xt figure of any sort. Round it is the plastic molding colored and painted after genu- ine Dresden models, and in the centeris a medallion finished in the same style. The frieze consists of festoons and bow knots, also in relief and also Dresden in style and color. Here and there a panel is left plain and in place of the medallion a mirror framed in painted china is seen. The ceil- ing is inconspicuous, but in entire har- mony with the walls. 5 As a matter of course no pictures are hung. The room becomes a picture in it- self, and only Dresden ornaments are al- lowable. In” one corner a white cabinet might hang, through the glass doors of which the china can be seen, and here and there a plaque might be given place, but no other decoration would be endurable. The idea is to make a room complete in it- self, and such separate item is considered only as a means to that end. : The furniture has to be all of white enamel, with Dresden designs painted thereon. In the summer home of a woman of wealth where a reception-room has been recently completed there is not one note out of harmony. Even the draperies are in perfect accord and show Dresden pat- terns on_a cream white grouud. During the hot days of a few weeks ago it became the favorite spot in the home. Both the family and the guests felt it impossible to suffer with heat in an atmosphere of such cool color and delicious tints. Upon occa- sions afternoon tea was served from the dainty tables, and as the mistress is a ‘woman of resources as well as taste only Dresden cups were used, while the young daughter who presided wore a perfect Dresden gown. The picture was a perfect one—cool in tone, charming in its simplic- ity and withal deliciously tempting. e have had so much empire of late, which is really only modified Greek, that a revival of the real thing is in order just now. A cloge scrutiny and a careful study proved that and much more to be true. The material for the wall-covering is paper and again the space is divided into panels, but in this instance the paper is the finest French sort and the panels, copied from paintings b{ Girard, tell all the famiiiar story of Psyche and Cupid. I§ requires twelve panels and twelve pictures to make the allegory complete, but when- ever the space allows the treatment can be relied on to give satisfaction and to lend great dignity to the hall or room. As the story is Greek, and all the accessories of reproduction are Greek, so the spirit is maintained throughout, and pilasters of white, with high lights of gold, are intro- duced as a means of dividing the space. The frieze also is pure Greek, and on2 might almost imagine himself in one of the famous halls of old, so harmonious is every detail, and so perfectly carried out is the scheme. Modern furniture would, of course, im- pair the effect, and for that reason these wise dealers advise its use only in halls or such rooms as admit of divans and the like, and from which our prosaic nineteenth century conveniences can be omitted with- out that sacrifice of comfort which is too big a price for commonplace mortals to pay.

Levy of the Congrega- tion Beth Israel will leave to-morrow even- ing on the overland train for New York on his way to Europe. He will make a short stay at Chicago, where he will be joined by his brother, who accompanies him to London. Dr. Levy leaves on a visit to his mother in London, whom he has not seen for twenty years. He will make trips to Paris, Berlin, Vienna and several other large cities, taking copious notes on the way, which will furnish him with the material for the next winter's course of Kriday pass upon the question of his guilt or in- nocence.

A Scciety Leader’s Emphatic Approval of International Marriages. Imost decidedly and emphatically ap- prove of the marriage of American girls with foreigners of good character, for I be- lieve it is a good thing, nationally, as well as individually. International marriages serve to bring the people of the two na- tions into closer communication, and to arouse, in some degree, similar instincts and characteristies. But it seems to be the opinion of a large majority of critics, who, I am bound to say, might be broader-minded, that simply because the American girl, in some instances, has been very wealthy, international marriages have been merely marriages of convenience for the sake of acquiring a title on one side and riches on the other, wrote the late Mrs. Paran Stevens in Demorest’s Magazine. But, for the sake of argument, suppose we allow the premises o%these criticisms to stand; where, even then, can be found a firm foundation for the assumption that the marriage is one entirely of conveni- ence, and not one of love? 1Is it possible that simgly because a woman is rich it is impossible for her to love a man who is poor? On the surface the argument is ab- surd. Of course, these marriages have their practical or more material advan- tages. Why not? In a great many in- stances each gives to the other that which each, formerly, had not. If the husband is one whose ambition it is to climb, either socially, politically or in art, then the wife’s money assists him to mount and to acquire greater power. Her money enables him to live in a style becoming his rank, and his position gives her a place of honor inall foreign capitals. The marriage is, therefore, reciprocal, as far as Yegards ma- terial benefits. The American women who have gone to live abroad have done so with the very best results. I have in mind a number of instances, such as those charming American girls who are now the Duchess of Marlborough, Lady Craven the Countess Sierstorpff of Germany an Countess Waldersee, also of Germany. I might multiply these instances imany times, all of them high in the social life of England, France undgother countries. The American woman, wherever she has gone to live, has proved an honor to Amer- ica by her grace of manner and charm of person; and by her wit and goodness and beauty, she has caused the greatest men of the times to bow to her in profound ad- miration, if not in veneration. I repeat, I emphatically approve of inter- national marriages; for I hold that human nature among men and women is the same in all countries. And why should it be assumed that the man with a title is any less desirable as a husband than one with- out a title? _As I have said, these marriages are re- ciprocal in material benefits; and nothing 1s more conducive to mutual happiness than mutual assistance—a marriage where- in each contributes an important quota. And then, why these sweeping assertions that all foreign noblemen are weak-kneed, weak-brained creatures? Why! Many of the intellectual giants of Europe belong to the nob:hty. nd as for being weak- kneed, physical pygmies, why, the cham- pion fencer of Franceis a nobleman, the champion boxer of England is a nobleman and the late Emperor of Russia was a giant of physical strength. And about the same convincing arguments can be used to con- tradict what is said ageinst foreign noble- men when considered morally. ‘We wrong the American women when we accuse them of being influenced in such marriages by a title; and we are un- ust to the men of other countries who appen to have titles when we accuse them of contracting marriages with our American girls from purely mercenary motives. ——————— Rice was cultivated in India m ears before the historical period.
