SOWING THE MIND.


1t appears that Brazil is pursuing q
course similar to that which brought dis
aster to the Argentine Republic and shook
the financial fabric of the world. A de-
cree has just been promulgated in Brazil,
the effect of which may be to add from
$2OO,0OO,O 900 to 1925, 900, 900 to a paper
currency already inflated and inconverti-
BILE, and this is only one of series of de-
crees authorizing increased emissions of
paper money that have been published
within twelve months. The new decree
consolidates two great banks into one ma
tional bank with a capital of 800, 900, 900.
This bank is to have the privilege of emit
ting notes to the amount of three times the
gold it deposits in the national treasury.
It may depost gold to the full amount of
it's capital and may therefore issue $780,
600, 900 of notes, or three times the amount
of its capital. Other banks of issue
are called upon to increase their circula-
ton to the full amount authorized within
two years. Those of them that fail to
comply will lose their right of issue, which
will then be transferred to the national
bank. When the decree was published the
authorized amount of bank issues was
about S165, 100000 and the amount of cir
culating treasury notes was $S5, 200, ,000
The decree has the effect to increase the
total amount of paper money authorized to
about $475, 100000. If the programme is
carried out the paper currency will be
nearly doubled within two years.
Things are lively in Brazil now, and
speculative enterprises are numerous and
great. By and by perhaps things will be
even more lively, and then the Brazilians
will wonder why they didn't see what was
coming.

with this living sentiment would be more
likely to succeed with children than one
without it.
But the other things are not equal. as a
rule. And, sad to say, in many cases this
same maternal instinct, this intense affee-
ton, misleads instead of leads.
Through the violence of her emotion a
mother often errs on the other side In
stinctive devotion is NO match for knowl-
edge and judgment in this multiform hu-
man life.
A woman of clear head and calm tenn
per, of insight and experience and wide
human interests, is far more competent to
bring up children than an ill-balanced,
weak-headed little mother, who loves her
children only because they are hers, and
can give no reason whatever for her course
of treatment.
There is a good deal of foolish sentiment
on this subject, obscuring a noble truth.
Women have been for so long 1.-The conser-
Nators of the ideal" that they are excuse
BILE in taking the ideal for the fact. But
the majority of men, full of adorning
masculine faith in this maternal instinct
and its supreme efficiency, find their IDOLS

John, you must go for the doctorlr And
John has to admit that maternal instinct
cannot distinguish between Group and in
digestion, scarlet fever and heat rash.
Now just compare this nervous, anxious,
excited young mother-her frantic admiIa-
ton for the new doll, her frantic terror if
it so much as sneezes, her profound de-
pendence on tradition in the matter of
wearing apparel, etc, or her equally pro-
found conversion to the fastest modern
nethods-with the calm, practical success

who has helped out many nervous niece
and grandniece, but never a daughter of
her own
Surely she has no maternal instinct
She is widow, or childless wife. or even
an "old maid" But she has sense and ex-
perience, and the young mother recognizes
her superiority for long time.
Wait, though, until Johnnie and Jennie
have worried through their earliest years
if, indeed, they do survive that ghAstly
period; and then suggest to the fond mann
ma that her methods are plainly unwise.
Truly you would repent it.
In the face of whole world of children
sick and well, children clean and dirty,
children happy and unhappy, healthy and
unhealthy, wise and unwise, she boldly
claims to have an absolute guide to direct
her; yes, and that all mothers have it, too,

forgetting, as she very reasonably con-
demns Mrs. Blacks over-indulgence, Mrs.
Whites undue severity, Mrs Gray's culpa

anxiety and Mrs. Green's terrible mistakes,
that all these mothers have the same infal-
hble guide, the same heaven-implanted

Cardinal Lavigerie, Bishop of Carthage,
believes that the best way to put stop to
slave stealing and slave trading in Africa
is to give better occupation to those en-
gagged in this work. He proposes to es-
tablish in Sahara series of stations
manned by monks trained in engineer
ing and agriculture. These stations
are to be on the sites of the an
cient wells, which are to be reopened and
others sunk. The surrounding desert is
to be irrigated, reclaimed and planted, and
an effort is to be made to gather the slave
trading nomads in peaceful pastoral and
agricultural communities. The Cardinals
call for volunteers, to undergo training for
five years. and then, if accepted, to devote
themselves for life, has been accepted by
nearly eighteen hundred monks, of whom
fifty are to go into training Immediately,
and after fifteen months will be sent into
the desert. It is noble scheme, but it
does not, at first sight, look very practical.

THE COST TRUNKS FRENCH
Kate Fields Experience with Extra
Luggage I'm Europe.
Rota Uacb


A singular fact concerning luggage in
Europe is that it's price varies according to
the language in which it is weighed. For
example, the last time 1 left London 1 paid
So extra for two trunks. On leaving Paris
having fortunately bought a return tick
ct in ADVANCE found myself shorn of all
but 80 francs-$6. With light heart 1
went forward to pay for extra weight, ar
guing with a logic which even great mas
culine intellect would not dispute: elf
two trunks cost SO in going from London
TO Paris, the same trunks will cost like
sum in going from Paris to London; there
fore 1 shall have 81 to spare"
"Quarante francs!" shouted the burly
official from his pigeonhole.
"Forty francs!" 1 cried in despair.
''But I've only thirty"
''Then you must leave your trunks"
"But I can't and won'tl" replied know
ing that if they were sent by french eI-
press I'd meet them on the day of judg-
ment-not before.

A COSTLY CAPITOL.

The New York State capitol at Albany
is again conspicuous on account of petit
ton for the appropriation of about ten
and half million dollars for finishing it.
This astonishing building was begun near
ly twenty years ago. 1t was then esti-
mated that four and half millions would
be enough for it. 1t has now cost more
than twenty millions. Sums varying from
two to five millions have several times
been asked and granted on the assurance
that the amount then demanded would be
sufficient to complete it, but each sum was
expended and the capitol remained an
unfinished building in some parts and
crumbling ruin in others. Special features,
which were the pride of the architects who
designed them, and cost many thousands
of dollars, were found inconvenient or un-
slightly, and were removed at
further great expense. An elabor
ate marble staircase, whose
carved decorations immense sums had
been lavished, was torn down because its
weight was too great for its supports, and
a lighter iron stairway was substituted.
The stone roof of the assembly chamber
cracked and crumbled until the legislators
feared it would crush them in its fall, and
one hundred thousand dollars or more was
spent in removing the heavy stone vault
ing and putting a paneled ceiling Of papier
mache in its place. When a great part of
the building was finished and in use, it oc-
Cured to somebody that ventilation was
desirable, and another appropriation of
some hundreds of thousands was made and
spent in tearing up and replacing costly
marble floors and cutting into walls of
solid masonry to make place for the ven
tilating fues.
Probably the two and half millions now
asked for will be appropriated. 1t is also
probable that more will be appropriated.

A Deal of Foolish Sentiment obscu

Is it not about time that the civilized
human mother should leave off talking
about "the maternal instinct" and begin
to show some maternal reason and com
mon sensei writes Charlotte Perkins Stet-
son in Kate Fields Washington. What is
maternal instinct, anyway! 1t is that
force of hereditary impulse in the female
of the animal kingdom which teaches her
to feed and care for her young. Does il
suffice for this purpose. In most animal
races, yes; in the human race, no. And
