No opportunity to cultivate u child's
self-respect should be neglected. That
is the foundation of true manhood,
and he who builds on any other builds
on quicksand. Better that than the
education of the schools or fortunate
business connections, high birth or
influential friends. These are all we'll
as adjuncts, hut altogether they are
less to be desired than that selEre-
spect which begets confidence, energy
and self.reliance.
1T you want to try an experiment,
take II dog and subject it for six
months to the same treatment some
children receive, and observe the ef-
feet. Our word for it, you will give
it such a disposition that it will be
known NIL over your neighborhood as
an animal to be avoided. Somewhat
like effects are produced on all other
animals. There are, of course, differ
ences. Some will be more easily af-
fected than others, as their natural
dispositions differ, but harsh word is
never without injury, and, if this is
the case with animals whose apprecia.
ton o. praise or blame must be com.
paratively small, what must be the
result when finely organized child is
the subject?
Many brutal instincts may, in n
measure, be overcome by kindness,
and, on the contrary, humanity be-
comes dulled by undeserved reproof,
even when it is not formulated in
words. The world would be better if
there were more kindly words, and
many a child grows up to be hard
hearted, unloving man who, if reared
in an atmosphere of kindness, would
have nourished the seeds of affection
planted in his youthful days, and in
his maturity been blessing to all
around him.

THE INTEREST IN THE NEW BIBLE.

From paper by DIR. Holland in
Scribner for March we take these par
agraphs We recently attended par
lor meeting of the American revisers,
at the house Of Hon. VIM. L. Dodge,
in New York, during which we became
aware of what seemed to us the ignor-
ance of these revisers touching the
tremendous public interest that gath.
ers around the work they have done,
and are to do. Il seemed to US that
they did not understand the feeling of
the public upon the matter at all; that
they did not appreciate the interest
with which the result of the work Is
regarded, nor the perfect confidence
with which that result is awaited. It
Il the modesty that naturally attends

sense of having said something which
others were glad to hear. There is
good deal Of this sort Of conversation
missionary work waiting to be done,
and the time which We spend chatting
about the weather might be proftably
devoted to it. 1t should be borne in
mind that there is scarcely any one of
average intelligence who cannot, If he
is drawn ont, talk Interestingly and
instructively about, at least, one thing,
the thing with which he is most prac.
tically familiar or which is connected
with his regular labor. Whoever talks
thus much with specialists upon their
chosen department of labor or thought
will get together fund Of valuable
information not to be learned from
books.

NEVER SNUB A CHILD.
From the Rnral New Yorker.

From the Rural New Yorker.
This was what our minister said in
his sermon recently, and if those four
words made as much impression on
the rest of his congregation as they
did on us, that sermon will prove OF
more real practical value than most
that are preached, and the children OF
generations yet unborn will have good
reason to raise up and call the preach
er blessed. We have no idea of giving
q report of that sermon or even a
synopsis of it. What we have quoted
is in itself sufficient topic for con.
sideration, and enough to furnish for
thought through one sitting.
"Nerer snub child" Mind that,
you fathers and mothers who will read
this Think for moment what is the
effect a hasty, thoughtless word may
make on the child's disposition. The
little one may come to you when you
are worn out by toll, tired from mental
labor, engaged in reading or in con-
versation, or busted with some per-
picking task, and trouble you with an
innocent question. If you are vexed
don't show 1t, don't fret, don't look
cross, don't speak hastily, answer the
question as we'll as you can--some
questions that children ask are not
easily answered--and send the child
away kindly. Its pleasant face will
diffuse light and love over the whole
house and do you better service than
you may be aware Of. A frown, a
rebuke, even the slightest check will
show its effect on the child's countc-
nance, and you may be sure It goes
deeper than you can see, and lasts
longer than you may think.

ignorant, but even the statesmen and
officials in closest communication with
court circles were in almost absolute
ignorance. According TO Mr.. Gre
vile, whose authority, however, is not
to be taken too implicitly except as to
matters which he actually saw, the
young Queen had been previously
kept in such seclusion by her mother
-"never," he says, "having slept out
of her bedroom, nor been with any
body but herself and the Baroness Lch-
zen"-that mot one of her acquain-
tance, none of the attendants at Ken
sington, not even the Duchess of
Northumberland, her governess, have
any idea what she is or what she prom
ises to be-" There was enough in the
court of the two sovereigns who went
before Queen Victoria to Justify any
strictness of seclusion which the Ouch
ess of Kent might desire for her daugh-
ter. 1t was remarked with some in
terest that the Queen subscribed her
self simply Victoria, and not, as had
been expected, 'Alexandrina Victoria.
Mr.. Greville mentions in his diary of
December "a, 1919, that the Duke of
Kent gave the name of Alexandria
to his daughter in compliment to the
Emperor of Russia. She was to have
the name of Georgiana, but the Duke
insisted upon Alexandria being her
first name. The Regent sent for
Lieven, the Russian ambassador, hus-
band of the famous Princes de Lieven,
and made him great many compli-
ments, en- le perSifant, on the En-
perors being godfather, but informed
him that the name Of Georgiana could
be second to no other in this country,
and therefore she could not bear it at
ALL 1t was a very wise choice to en-
ploy simply the name Of Victoria
around which no ungenial associations
of any kind hung at that time, and
which can have only grateful associa-
tons in the history of this country for
the future.

PUNISHED BY KINDNESS.

A Quaker having been disturbed
one night by footsteps around his
dwelling, arose from his bed and eau
tiously opened the back door to re-
connoitre. Close by was an clubhouse,
and under it cellar, near n window
of which was man busily engaged in
receiving the contents of his pork
barrel from another within the cellar.
The Quaker approached, and the man
on the outside fed. he stepped up to
the cellar window and received the
pieces of pork from the thief within,
who, after little time, asked his sup
posed accomplice, in whisper, "Shall
we take it all?' The owner of the
pork said, softly, "Ies, take it all :"
and the thief handed up the balance
through the window, and then came
up himself Imagine his consterna-
ton when, instead Of greeting his COM
panion in crime, he confronted the
Quaker, Both were astonished for
the thief proved to he near neighbor,
of whom none would have suspected
such conduct. He pleaded for mercy,
begged him not to expose him, spoke
of the necessities of poverty, and prom
ised faithfully never 10 steal again.
"If thou hadst asked me for meat"
said the Quaker, "it would have been
given thee. | pity thy poverty, and
thy weakness, and esteem thy family.
Thou art forgiven
The thief was greatly reioiced, and
was about to depart, when the Quaker
said
Take the pork, neighbor."
mo. no" said the thief, 81 don't
want the pork"
"The necessity was so great that it
lead thee to steal. One-half of the
pork thou must take with thee
The thief insisted that he could
never eat a morsel of it. The thought
of the crime would make it choke
him. He begged the privilege of let
ting it alone. But the Quaker was
inflexible, and furnished the man with
bag, had half the pork put therein,
and laying it upon his back, sent him
home with it, lie met his neighbor
daily for several years afterward,
and their families visited together, but
the matter was kept secret; and though
in after years the circumstance was
mentioned, the name of the delinquent
was never made known. The punish
ment was severe and effectual. Ii
was probably his first--it was certain
ly his last attempt to steal.
Had the man been arraigned be-
fore a court of justice aud imprisoned
for the petty theft, how different might
have been the result His family
disgraced, their peace destroyed, the
mans character ruined, and his spirit
broken. Revenge, not penitence, would
have swayed his heart the scorn of
the world would have blackened his
future, and in all probability he would
have commenced course of crime at
which, when his first offence was CON-
mitted, his soul would have shuddered.
And what would the owner of the
pork have gainedl Absolutely moth
ing. Kindness was the best punish
ment, for it saved whife il punished.

An Awful Combat.
RATS IN COUNTLESS swARNs ATTACK AND

RATS IN COUNTLESS swARNs ATTACK AND
DIsTIGURE Two MEN.
From Special Dispatch 70 the Post
PEDEE, n. c., March "a re-
markable and perhaps unprecedented
combat took place at Bostick's mill,
near this place, this morning. 1t
seems that Gen. Bostick and one of
his employees, Anderson Wayless, went
into courthouse, which had been
stored with corn for nearly twelve
months, and which has been closed for
that length of time. After getting in
they found that the place was literally
alive with rats. which began to attack
fiercely the two men, who in vain
attempted to beat them off. The rats
came upon them in droves. biting them
about the hands, face and legs, several
actually getting under Wayless' shirt.
Both men cried for help, and were
rescued from their perilous situation.
The whole of Gen. Bostick's left ear
was eaten off and his face horribly
bitten. Wapless' nose and lips were
so badly bitten that his best friends
could not recognize him, and his left
eye was torn from its socket.

true scholarship, We presume, which
leads them to suppose that their work
will be severely criticised--that it will
disappoint many by its changes, and
many others by its few and trivial
alterations. And it may Us well be
stated just here that they are not to
present the English world with Il new
version. 1t is simply to be the old
version revised, freed from its errors,
and possessing in every way the nd.
vantages Of all the study and discove-
ry of the two hundred and seventy
years that have passed since 1910
the date of the issue of king James
Bible" The old form of language,
which has itself become sacred to the
eyes, ears and hearts Of Biblc.loving
people, is to be preserved.
We say that it seemed to liz that
the revisers at this meeting failed
to appreciate the popular confidence
with which the result Of their work is
awaited. We believe, from the feel
ing everywhere around US, that the
result of this revision will be received
with unquestioning confidence. The
public understand that the revision
will be the work of the best scholar
ship Of two countries, selected and ex-
ercised upon broad and catholic
basis, and arriving at Il result that is
essentially unanimous. 1t is believed
that these men know all there is known
upon the subject which engages their
attention; and the new revision will
be received, in our opinion without a
question. Indeed, We doubt whether
there is any divine living, outside of
this circle of men. who can publicly
undertake to criticise their work with
out danger TO his own reputation. OF
course, there will be great curiosity to
see what kind of work the revised YER
sion will make Of accepted doctrines
and various sects. 1t is quite possible
that certain prOOi-teXts that have been
used to uphold precious old dogmas, or
instate and support sects, will be rid
died but We have no idea that the
essential facts and doctrines recorded
in the Book will be changed. Indeed,
we already have this assurance from
the revisers themselves. Love to God
and men will remain the beginning
and end of religion, and obedience to
law will he the whole Of morality.
The record of the life and death of
Christ will be changed in no essential
particular, and he will still remain.
what he has always been, the central
figure and the informing aud inspiring
force of the religion called by his
name. If the men who have called
themselves by other names get a tum.
BILE, who cares ? But the great, unde-
niable fact that Bible-reading Chris
tians, Of all names, are waiting for the
new revision with such interest that
there is not one of them between the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans who will
not purchase one at the first opportu-
nifty, is full of grateful significance,
alike honorable to themselves and to
the self-sacrifcing workers who have
sustained, without money and without
price, the long and arduous task of
preparing a perfect Bible in the Eng
lish language.
