In a recent interview Mrs. Kendall, the
English actress, was asked, "Have you
any special views on the subject Of the
education Of children" "Of course !
have" came the reply. "Could a moth
er help thinking very, very seriously
upon a subject Of such vital Importance
to the future Of her childrenf" When
the reader gets thus far, he feels that the
mountain is trembling-and this is the
small mouse that creeps forth. 81 have
always felt that great mistake is made
in consigning children to the care Of a
resident governess," With which trite
commonplace Mrs. Kendars views be-

The Value of a Military Training.
To get the best possibilities for beauty
ont of training we must have all round
influences for good. Among these l
would place first military training for
youths. say military rather than
gymnastic or turn verein exercise, be-
cause sound drill includes something Of
these and adds the moral influence Of
discipline.
In my opinion it would be for the
benefit Of the country, the family and
the individual if every mothers son
were obliged TO pass a certain amount
of military service before he could vote
The military training is the only one
nowadays which teaches men to obey
and gives them any notion Of the value
Of obedience. No training makes men
so effective for every day use or Leaves
them 80 alert, prompt and full of re-
source. The adoption of military edu-
cation In earnest would lead to the ad-
iustment Of serious questions physical
and national.
The merely useless mechanical part of
drill which is mainly for parade pur-
poses would have 10 bo dropped, and
useless schooling would have 10 be
thrown out.
A child tnught to obey in the first
place and efficiently guided in study can
master the courses Of our schools in half
the time now spent. This by tho way.
The great point about military training
is that It enforces exercise for pur-
pose, not merely for thesalle of exercise.

More Thought.

Is the fact sufficiently recognized
that a man can make himself, within
certain limits, almost anything he
pleases by meditation?
Thought induces feeling, and feeling
action. Men complain that they do
not feel. Why, then, do they not use
the means which will produce emo
ton? Thinking is the power ofall, or
nearly alt. They eau, if they choose,
tllrnB aside for season regularly and
mediate upon the importance of things
they find themselves neglected. Why
not? If they really desire to improve
in any direction, it seems as if they
might adopt this simple method.
Only by much meditation can our
principles take on strength, and we
attain to a firm conviction concerning
an invisible world without which we
shall not seek as we should. A strong
symmetrical character, steady and un-
waverin, heavenly-minded and i'm
bued with the Spirit of Christ, can be
gained no other way. More thoughts
more thought! He who meditates
duy and night in the law of the Lord,
or the will of God, "shall be like a
tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his
season, and whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper" Professor Browne we'll says
In his admirable volume, "Principles
of ethics:" 1.-THE greatest need
of ethical practice, next to the good
will, is q serious and thoughtful appll-
cation of intellect to the problems of
life and conduct. Misconduct and
social evils in general arise less from a
will 10 do wrong than from an indif-
ference to doing right. The people
do not consider Until they do con.
slider, we must IVORY along in the old
way with an embryonic conscience,
drugged by custom and warped by
ar,ificiality, vile life is directed not by
wise and serions reflections, but by
conflicting passions and selfishness. ~

MI. and Mrs. Ostrich.

The division of labor between Mr..
and Mrs. Ostrich is more nearly fair
than among: most birds. 1t is an un-
derstood thing that If she takes the
trouble to lay the eggs he will attend
TO- the hatching,, which is; very kind OF
him, considering that he Is bigger.
stronger, prettier, and worth more
than she Is. He furnishes a. much
finer grade of feathers for the support
of his family than does Lis wife.
When Mrs. Ostrich inclines that way
she scoops out dainty little nest Ut
Is usually about five feet across any
where she happens to be, and calls
that home. She is not particular
about the locality, but she is very stub
born about giving IL up when she has
once cbo,en. One of the ostriches on
a farm recently selected the middle OF
the road that runs through the pad
dock for her nest, and promptly BE-
gan filing it with eggs: Herbert dug
another nest for her in q more protect
quarter of the pasture, but instead OF
feeling grateful for his attention, Mme.
Ostrich quietly rolled the eggs. one 6y
one, back to the original place OF de-
posit. Aud while her husband went
ahead with the Matching, she stood
by to assist him in repelling any
further inlpertinence. In this nest
there were twenty-five eggs. she
laid one every second or third day. and
when the quota was complete she
made her proud husband sit on them.
AS soon az she got over the fear of her
work being disturbed, she lett her
helpmate and went off with the other
birds; and he was compelled to watch
her flirting from her station without a
renons,rance. Once in a while she
came back to give him chance to eat
and stretch himself; but these kind
nesses were by no means frequent.
Once when he, almost starved prob
ably, left the nest, she came at him
with all her feathers turned the
wrong way cad. hustled him back to
his business. That's the kind Of
wife the ostrich makes.-Standard.

Wedo not need all Edward Bellamy
to look backward from the serene
heightsof 900 A. D., to tell us that
the tineis coming when the money
less wife of u rich man will be un-
worthy Of our civilizatiOn-and people
then will treat as q myth the story of
the wife asking for dollar and being
met with: "Why, Mary, what can you
want with a dollar-don't you have
all you needo" In that happy day no
woman will confess to another: "My
husband is generosity itself-he spends
everything I wish on the house and
tries to give meall the pleasure he can
but, oh dear, I can never get any
money for myself--any little sum for
many things the children and need
without q positive fight" writes Annie
R. Ramsey in an article on "The
Question of Allowances" in the Sep
tember Ladies' Home Journal. Nor
will be heard the answer, as too often
now: ooh, my husband is just the
same, but I take it out of the market
purse and put it down to 'sundries.'
He never knows, or if he does notice
and scold I have the things anyhow"
