PROJECTION OF CHILDREN.
Duties Of the State to Provide for Thei
Walfara-

Duties Of the State to Provide for Their
Welfare.
Children require special legal protec-
ton. In multitudes of cases they need
to be protected 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 are violated when chill
dren 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 influences; when. for any
purpose, they are deprived of instruc-
ton, or when their parents use them in
any way for their own sole benefit.
The state also has rights in the chill
dren. They are its only hope, its fu-
ture support, defence and glory. In
them are possibilities of future
scholarship, craftsmanship, general
ship, and invaluable service of every
kind. What loss to our land had the
parents of George Washington, Abra-
ham Lincoln, Gen. Grant or Clara Bar
ton blighted the possibilities of their
offspring! What 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.
It recognizes them in part by de-
manding that every child shall be al
lowed to attend school up to certain
age. Hence, also, it's laws respecting
child-labor and parental cruelty. I'm
der certain circumstances, indeed, it
does not hesitate to take the child from
its parents and put it in charge of other
persons, better qualified guardians
It is possible for the state to go too
far in such guardianship, but there is
little danger of that in this country
Indeed, the danger is quite the other
way, except as the government Is urged
by healthy and earnest public senti-
ment. 1t becomes US to help in the
creation of such a sentiment. and in
the securing and enforcing of its proper
legal expression. In every case in
which both parents are habitual drunk
ards, the state should assert its right
by giving the children to the care and
training of others.
Children often need protection against
themselves. This the state grants in
the matter of truancy.
1t is well known to the medical pro-
fession that the use of tobacco by
children and the young during the
period of growth is exceedingly per-
nicious, especially in its effect upon the
heart. There is need of legislation in
all oar states to put stop to this evil,
and the law should be backed by an
intelligent public sentiment.-Youth's

THE MOJAVE INDIANS.
Among Their Traditions They Have On
Concerning the Flood.

Among Their Traditions They Have One
Concerning the Flood.
The Mojaves have number of ira
ditions concerning the origin of the
world, which date back many cen
turtles, though how many we have been
unable accurately to ascertain, but the
traditions seem clearly to point to the
existence of these clans in prehistoric
times. Some of the old members of the
Mojave tribe relate, with much awe
and reverence, tradition to which
they still cling, regarding a rugged
mountain-peak north of the val
ley, known as Ghost mountain.
The story says that many years ago,
before the Indians came to this region,
large volume of water covered this
part of the earth temporarily; that
there was small boat or raft which
fioated upon the surface of the water
many days, saving the lives of small
number of persons, the rest being
drowned. At last the waters receded,
and the little craft rested safely on the
highest ledge of Ghost mountain, and
not a brave among them will ever visit
the spot, nor are they willing to have
their white neighbors explore the
mountain, believing that should any
one ever reach the spot where the
boat rested he would suddenly be
stricken with death. Among other
strange beliefs held by the Mojaves, is
one resembling that of the East In
dams, of the TRANSPORTATION of souls.
1t teaches that the evil spirits which
have inhabited the body during life are
transmitted at death to the body of
some bird or animal. The physician at
the Herbert Welsh industrial school,
being summoned on one occasion to at
tend young Mojave woman who was
very i'll with a fever, was told by the
young woman's husband that his
remedies would do no good: his wife
could not recover, as she had, some
years before, eaten the flesh of beaver

The BANGLE BRACELET.
A Fashion Craze that Used to Make the

Fashion Craze that Used to Make the
jewelers. Happy.
There was time within the memory
of most of the jewellers now in business
when no article of jewelry was more
popular with certain class of Gus
toners than the bangle bracelet. At
first the ornament consisted of simple
chain from which was suspended coin
or a medallion with one side smoothed
and engraved with initials or mono
gram. Afterward other bangles were
added to the ornament until the chain
could scarcely be seen on account of it's
numerous pendants.
The fashion amounted to a craze
Girls and young ladies solicited from
their friends gifts of rare or curious
coins, and having accumulated enough
to satisfy their ambition took them to
jeweler to be perforated and engraved
with the initials of their owners.
Within recent years the United States
government enacted d law prohibiting
the mutiation OF coins either by perfo-
rating them or by grinding away the
design for the purpose of engraving
By this means the fashion came 10 an
untimely end, and the jewelers. were
deprived of an important source of
revenue.-Jewelers'W Weekly
