ssSI.UMMING.3

"Slumming" has been popular for
several years with young and older women
who want to do good, or who want to be
thought desirous of doing good. In all
our large cities many women are going
about among the poor trying to elevate
them and induce them to live in different
way than that to which they have been
accustomed. Much of such work is entirely
useless, because 1t is not done in the right
spirit, nor with good judgment. And even
the honest and judicious "slummers'
often find reason to doubt the efficacy of
their efforts. The experience of q New
York woman, who has given up "slum-
ming" among the poor for "slumming"
among her own kind. contains some lessons
which may profitably receive attention
from all honestly interested in improv-
ing the condition of the race. This
young woman was ambitious to make
people as good and happy as she was, and
she thought the largest field for her work
was among the poor. She therefore
pitched into the poor with great zeal and
was not little surprised to find that thoee
whom she was trying to help didn't appre-
oiats and respond to her efforts as they
ought to have done. She set about finding
the reason for this disappointing stats OF
affairs, and in her search for it she found
a pious old woman among the poor who
told her, and who told her 90 clearly and
we'll that it has led her to forsake mission.
ary work among the poor for missionary
work among the rich. This is what ths
wise old woman said:
You're out of your depth, ohild. What
do you know of our lives, of our ways, Of
our troubles, of our minds, of our way o.
looking at things? You don't understand
us and we don't understand you. w,
don't see things in the same way, beeaus'
we don't look at them from the sam,
point. You tell these poor people to b.
clean without knowing how much none,
and time, which is the same thing, it cost
| to be clean. Cleanliness is one of tn,
dearest things in New York. You SCOT,

DR.. Van Eeden, a distinguished foreign
physician, has observed that the greatest
hypnotizers are mothers. They largely
rule their children by pure suggestion. A
baby suffers pain, is fractions. The
mother soothes it with her hand, sings to
it and rocks it; the touch, the voice and
the movement bring the child more thor
oughly under maternal influence; the sug-
gestion is received, and the child responds
to it, dozes off, is soothed. A child hurts
itself and cries, but the mothers touch and
soothing voice calm the pain.

The German military authorities don't
omit anything that they think will add to
the efficiency of the army. The latest is
that each of the sixteen army corps is to
detail number of officers and privates for
service as interpreters, and these are to
pursue studies in foreign languages, those
on the eastern border in Russian and Polish,
those on the western border in French. A
money appropriation has been made for
this purpose and there will be an examina-
ton every year.

We have reconstructed, We have
