Children require special legal protection.
In multitudes of cases they need to be pro
tected from their parents, to whom they
do not wholly belong. They have rights
of their Own-a right to proper care and
good treatment, to education and adequate
training.
These rights of children impose on their
parents corresponding obligations. Such
obligations ara violated when children are
made street beggars; when they are shut
up in factories, to the stunning of both
physical and mental growth; when they
are surrounded by ruinous home inau-
ences; when, for any purpose, they are de-
prived of instruction, rwhen their parents
use them in any way for their own sole
benefit.
The state also has rights in the children
They are its only hope, its future support,
defense and glory. In them are pOssibili-
ties of future scholarship, craftsmanship
generalship and invaluable service of every
kind. What loss to our land had the
parents Of George Washington, Abraham
Lincoln, General Grant or Clara Barton
blighted the possibilities of their offspring!
What a loss to England and the world had
the possibilities in Florence Nightingale
been thus blighted!
1t may not always be easy to say how
the state shall best protect the rights of
the child and its own rights in the child,
but of its obligations in the case there can
be no doubt.
1t recognizes them in part by demanding
that every child shall be allowed to attend
school up to n certain age Hence, also,
its laws respecting child labor and parental
cruelty. Under certain circumstances, in
deed, it does not hesitate to take the child
from its parents and put it in charge Of
other persons, better qualified guardians

4 METROPOLITAN WILDCAT.


I a city woman ; AA0tnAl f.'.r'N
with a Strange Pussy.
A New York woman had an expa1l-
ence few nights ago which she viii
not soon forget-One which, considering
her environment. was very surprising
Her home is a ground apartment, occu-
pying two floors, however, in one OF the
high class apartment houses in Fifty
ninth street overlooking the park. The
library is on the second floor, and in
this room she was seated one night
when a peculiar noise from the family
parrot. who was in his cage in an oppo-
lite room, attracted her attensSn.
Thinking the bird was merely rest
less and wanted his cage covered, she
picked up a soft wooden couch cover
and started across the hall. AT the
threshold Of the second room she saw
crouching OH the top Of the parrots
cage a gray cat. which had succeeded
by his weight and clawing in incliniYg
the cage almost to the tipping angle,
poor Poll meanwhile travelling up And
down the upper side in a frenzy Of
fright. The UiIedhm struggle GOULD not
have lasted many seconds longer, and,
urged by the crisis, though really
alarmed at the unusual size and fierce
appearance of the cat, Polls mistress
advanced into the room)shaking the
couch cover and attempting, after the
manner of women. to "shoo" the cat
away.
She had half crossed the apartment
when the animal made spring at her,
and but for her quick movement in
covering her head with the couch cover
which she held her face would have re-
ceived the brunt of the attack. As it
was, the cat clawed violently for an in
slant at the mass Of woolly material in
which he was enheshed; then. aided l.y
the desperate push which the now ter.
rified woman gave him, leaped to the
floor and dashed into the library.
Mrs. - recovered her senses and
closed the door between herself and the
cat, then violently rang the bell for as
sistance. The maids responded and,
after carrying Poll to a place of safety
in a remote room, an attempt was made
to dislodge the cat from the library. AT
sight Of her Iursuers the creature began
to rush about. jumping through brass
screen with force enough to break it,
knocking ever bric-a-brac and loose
books, and ending by scaling the win
dow casing as If it were a tree and run
ming out on the bare curtain pole From
this high perch he glared down at those
beneath him until Mr.. IS arrival
shortly afterward. He was then prod
ded down and leaped through a window
opened for him to the pavement below,
darting off to the park as soon as he
reached the ground.
Policemen and others familiar with
Central park say that stray city cats
often find homes in its sequestered
hooks, growing wild and raising prog
eny that become almost as fierce and
terrible as u genuine wildcat. In this
instance the animal was doubtless driven
from its haunts by hunger, and, getting
in on the ground floor, was attracted up
stairs to the parrots cage by the scent
of the bird and its food.-Her Point of
View III New York Times.

we suppose that must have been true in
the Queen Of Sheba's time. Again the
Queen Of Sheba says, as if addressing Sol

which expression surely would not refer

All that can be said on this question is,
that the apple of our orchards isthe oldest

other fruits followed long after. Even the
uncivilized men, the early Adams Of the
race, knew probably no fruit but the apple
Commentators on the account of the crea-

one that can be recognized as in all proba

The ancients peopled all distant lands
with monsters and all distant seas with
horrors. Unknown and distant coun-
tries were, to their superstition, peopled
with ''gorgons. hydras and chimeras
dire" The distant seas were filed with
monstrous dragons and serpents, of
which the sea serpent is today, perhaps,
survival. The unknown oceans were
filled with whirlpools that sucked in
mariners, who were sacrilegious enough
to approach them, to an awful death.
Perhaps these superstitions, as much
as any one thing, kept the world for so
many centuries an unexplored and I'M
known waste.-Yankee Blade.

When Egypt was in the height of her
power, when she was most highly civil
lized and delighted in being called the
mistress of the land and sea, j" her peo-
pie worshiped black bull. There was
some discrimination, however, even in
this form of worship. In order to be an
object of mad alteration it was neces-
sary that the bull calf be born with
circular white spot in the exact center
of his forehead, and the advent of such
a creature in any herd was the signal of
wild demonstrations from the Mediter-
ranean to the border of the Lybian des-
ert. Even as late as the time of Cleo

Convicts Of Abyssinia.

In Abyssinia political offenders and
obstructionists are arrested, chained
and placed on the small table land of
Abba Salama, high, rocky and precip-
itous mountain about thirty miles from
Adowa. So sheer and steep are its
sides that the prisoners are drawn up
by ropes. Their chance of escaping is
impossible, unless they run the risk of
dashing themselves into eternity on the
rocks below. On this lonely height
there is soil on which they may grow
grain, and there are wells with good
water. There is no speaker to keep or
der, and they may, if they choose, abuse
the prime ministers and crowned heads
to their hearts content, but they return
no more to the ways of the world

When Bishop Goe, of Melbourne, was
a curate a famous pugilist in the parish,
who went by the name of Jim the Slog-
ger and who had never darkened a
church door, called at the parsonage
asking him to baptize the baby. Ac-
cordingly the bishop repaired to Jim's
house, but was surprised on being adj
mitted to see Jim lock the door and
pocket the key. 'Be you the parson
come to sprinkle my kidf' he asked. On
the bishop asserting, he continued, eyer
can't sprinkle that kid till you and me
has had a fight, parson."
The unfortunate parson protested, but
finding protest useless "stood up" to

and Jim, pulling himself from the floor,
muttered, He's the parson for me. 3"
