following rules:
l. All speakers will frankly state
their own beliefs and the reasons for
them, without unfriendly criticism of
other faiths,
= 2. The Parliament will be a grand
international gathering for putual
conference, fellowship and informa-
ton, ana not for controversy, for wor-
ship, for the counting of votes, or for
the passing of resolutions.
3. The proceedings will be in the
English language.
A. Before the meetings there will be
daily morning conferences in which
those naturally affiliated may worship
together
5. The evening meetings will be de-
voted partly TO the practical problems
of the age, partly to tire meetings of
non-Christian religionists, and partly
to the sessions of great parliament

Increasing Moro RAPIDLY Than the Popu-

Probably one OF the greatest dan
gers TO organized society is found in
the criminal classes The laws OF
the production and confirmation of
criminals with their treatment
should be among the most thought
fully studied branches OF political
science. The number OF convicts in

II. $40. an increase of !, 37S. or q. 46
per cent 1t is thus shown by recent
statistics that the various grades of
criminal population are increasing
more rapidly than the population aS
large The same results have been
shown by previous census reports.
1t must also be remembered thai d
large number Of actual criminals are
not under confinement and are hence
not included in the figures showing
their increase. 1t has evidently be-
come vitality important question for
decision by society as to the best plan

Popular Science Monthly holds it to
be fact proved by statistics that a
large percentage OF criminals are de-
fective either physically or mentally,
aud have had an unfavorable heredity
and environment Under the general
system in this country no attempt
is made to rehabilitate them during

If European scientists at present

LET THE GIRLS ROMP.
Mothers Mistaken in Counseling Children
to Play Quietly.

W ray Haith9'
Most mothers have a dread of
romps so they lecture the girls daily
on the proprieties and eXhort them to
be little ladies. They like to see them
very quiet and gentle and as prim as
possible. The lot OF such children is
rather pitiable for they are deprived
OF the fun and frolic which they are
entitled to- Children-boys and girls
must have exercise TO keep them
healthy. Deprive them OF it and they
will lade away like flowers without
sunshine. Running. racing. skipping
climbing-these are the things ac-
cording to the journal OF Health. that
strengthen the muscles expand the
chest and build up the nerves. The
mild dose OF exercise taken in the nur-
sery with calisthenics or gymnastics
will not invigorate the system
like good romp in the open air.
Mothers. therefore. who counsel their
little girls to play very quietly make
a mistake. Better the laughing, rosy
checked. romping girl than the pale
lily-faced girl who is called every inch
lady.
The latter rarely breaks or tears
her dresses or tries her mother $
patience as the former does, but after
all what do the tearing and breaking
amount to? 1t is not wise policy TO
put an old head on young shoulders.
Childhood is the time for childish
pranks and plays The girls grow
into womanhood soon enough. Let
them be children rs long as possible
and also give them plenty OF fresh air
