CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.

Benjamin Waugh, in the NeaU Revieac
of April, has an article which in some
instances makes TIE flesh creep, SO
painfully distressing are it's details.
He is writing of effort made for pre-
vention of cruelty to children; and,
to show the need Of the society, and
to justify it's efforts, the writer gives
narrowing stories which we will not
repeat. There are some facts con-
nected with this subject which we
ought to know. The causes for this
cruelty to children are, first, drunk
enness. On this point it is said, "Com-
pairing the cruelties practised by the
sober and the cruelties practiced by
the drunkards, the palm of monstrous-
ness goes to the SOBER" And, as re-
CARDS the respective chances of de-
lection in the two kinds of cases, and
the public getting knowledge Of them
and stopping their victims sufferings,
drunkenness is still in favor of the
child. While the sober has wit enough
to conceal his cruelty, the drunkard
blunders into notoriety. drunken
ness is it's own detective" and "is the
colleague OF the constable" Second,
as regards the idea that poverty and
small dwellings produce cruelty, it is
wholly and absolutely without justifi
cation of fact. Third, as regards the
notion that education will be the pan
acea for cruelty to children, the cases
of captain, !mayor, physician, surgeon,
bankers, barristers, editors, ministers
of religion, university men, as well as
lay preachers in churches, and in the
Salvation Army which the society has
to deal with, suggests grave doubts.
''That there is smaller percentage
of cruelties detected among the edu
Gated and refined ranks, as compared
with those among the ruder- living
folk, admit.'' But, if there "is a
pin to choose between the two, the
cruelties of the more refined are the
refined more inventive, spiteful, and
sustained"
The causes for cruelty to children,
as given, are sexual immortality and
avarice. The latter takes various
forms, from parsimoniousness to
starvation to receive insurance.
Strange as it may seem, child torture
is INDUCED in as recreation. Here
is the picture of the fend at his play:
ssDaily, when he was off work, he
punched with his fist and boot, the
head, face, ribs, and legs of a child of
six, laughing heartily at it's tears and
screams and struggles. Now and then
he saved his fist, and used a whip
stock. For lark, nothing more than
that he protested. He tied rope
around the child's waist, and dropped
him in the canal, which was handy.
He watched the little figure sink, and
then in while pulled it above the
surface again for little wind then
let it sink again and struggle awhile.
This lark he repeated time after time,
till the child was too exhausted to
struggle, and was unconscious and
we'll nigh drowned, when he lifted
him out to come round"
This was not all, but we refrain from
adding more. Simply the facts show
the need of the National Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to the Chill
dren, and the acts of Parliament in
their behalf.-Christian Register.

A tightly gloved hand is an evidence
of vulgarity. A big, fat hand, crowd
ed into o small glove is a deformity,
a pretty hand is ugly and an ugly one
is made uglier by the prominence it IS
given. Aside from being powerless
and almost useless, the hand that is
tightly gloved comes out formidable
looking with ridges and lines scanned
in the flesh and the skin crimsoned
by congested blood, which has been
damned up ever since the circulation
was cut off. 1t is not unusual at din
ner party to see vain woman chatting
and rubbing her infamed hands to-
gether in the effort to restore their
natural complexion. Besides making
the hands apoplectic looking and
keeping them cold in winter and hot
in summer, tight gloves are expen-
sive. Instead Of the kid wearing, the
seams burst and buttonholes tear. A
glove one size larger than the hand is
economical, comfortable, rational and
fashionable.

The bicycle advance has been SO
gradual, SO noiseless, and so easy that
it is doubtful if American society APP
preciates what it is about or what are
its possibilities. Starting as a toy,
and continuing on democratic basis
as means of transportation for the
comparatively poor, it has worked its
way steadily on and up. Sportsmen
have scoffed at it; horsemen have
fouted it; high dignitaries of the
church have denounced it to their
women adherents; solid citizens have
held it to be a nuisance on the high
way; timid people have deprecated
its presence on the sidewalk, but it
has rolled along practically unhinder-
ed, increasing in numbers, growing in
popularity, until now it threatens to
dispute with the horse for the patron
age Of fashion. 1t is time to take the
bicycle seriously, as thing, like the
cotton gin, the steam engine, the tel
egraph and the sewing machine, that
is to have an effect upon society.

4 PEN PORTRAIT OF THE QUEEN
OF KOREA

The queen of Korea is forty four
years of age, being just one ye' r older
than her husband. She is of medium
height and her form is slender and
straight. He manner is pleasing, and
she is always described as ''every inch
a queen" She is by no means bad
looking. Her face is long, and every
line of her features beams with in
telligence and vivacity. She has a
high forehead, long, slender, aristo-
cratic nose, and her mouth and chin
indicate determination and character.
Her cheek bones are high, her ears
are small, and her complexion is the
color of rich Jersey cream. Her eye
brows are after the approved style Of
Korean beauty, the hairs having been
thread of black over her eyes. These
are almond in shape, and they fairly
snap with life They are keen, bust
ness-iike eyes, and they see every
thing, being intellectual rather than
soulful. The queens hair is jet black.
1t is parted in the middle, is combed
perfectly smooth away from the fore
head and brought down over the ears,
and rolled in low coil which rests on
the nape of her neck. Here it is fast
ened with hairpins of gold or of silver,
each a foot long and as big around as
your finger. The queen has a good
mouth, full of wellformed teeth; and
when she laughs, which is quite often,
she shows the upper ones.
The queen has a large wardrobe,
the dresses of which she changes fire.
quently. During her mourning for
the queen dowager she was dressed
for weeks in white silk gauze, which
is the color for mourning in Korea.
She is not fond of jewelry.
Her hands, which are long, thin and
-shapely, never sparkle with dia-
monds; her only rings are heavy gold
bands, and she always wears these in
pairs, two rings on one finger. She
wears neither bracelets nor necklaces,
and her clothing is more like a retir-
ing woman of the West than that Of
the queen of the most gorgeous ORR
entail court in the world. Her feet are
clad in Korean shoes of the softest of
skins, finely embroidered, and more
like slippers than shoes. She carries
a diamond studded American watch;
and, as is the custom among the Ko
rean women, she is by no means averse
to smoke. She does not, however,
affect the long stemmed Korean pipe
with its bowl of silver or brass, but
prefers cigarette; and I was told at
Seoul that she orders her cigarettes
from the United States and smokes
them quite freely.

A STIR IN THE LOBBY
Caused by the Rumor Of the Veto Of the
Hudson River Bridge Bill.
The Opposition to the Hernbiower
jeckiOns Assigned as the Motives.

The publication in last evenings Star of
the rumor that the President is considering
the advisability Of vetoing the Hudson river
bridge bill as a matter Of vengeance upon
Senator Hill. in case the latter secures the
rejection of Mr.. Hornblower' by the Senate
this afternoon, has filled with CONSERVATION
and alarm the large and able lobby that has
been visiting Washington for several months
past in the interest Of the bridge company
The possibility and likelihood of the Pres
dents taking such a course was actively
discussed last night and this morning by
the various pullers Of wires in and around
the Capitol building. Their compiacency
was seriously disturbed this afternoon by a
statement coming directly from the War
Department to the effect that the President,
according to his custom. has sent the bill
over to Secretary Lamont for his considara-
ton and report kilograms have been fall
ing IN upon both the President and the Sec
rotary from the opponents Of the bridge in
New York city and New Jersey, represent
ing vast amount OF wealth and political
influence. Some of these assert that the
company does not intend to take advantage
OF the charter and to build the bridge. but
merely desires to attain this concession as
a commodity.
Secretary Lamont this morning received a
the subcommittee Of the chamber Of COM
merce Of New York, to which was referred
the matter of the bridge at a meeting of
the chamber held during the recent session,
at which the project was severely con-
demned.
Mr.. Schwab asked Secretary Lamont to
postpone action on the bill until his sub
committee could reach here and be heard
In the matter. The Secretary wired hfs
agreement to this request.
1t Is understood that the President and
the Secretary both are of the opinion that
there are grave engineering reasons
against the construction Of the bridge with
pier In the river. 1t Is rumored that the
President has two very intimate personal
friends for whom he would be willing 1t
Is said, to do anything within his power
who Were the chief agents of the 6efeat
OF the bill during the last Congress. The
story goes that these friends are now quite
as anxious as ever that the bridge COM
pany should not be chartered.
At any rate. the President Is very liza BILE
to veto the bill on commercial grounds
However he may argue in support of
veto, should he make one, ii is certain
that he will get the credit, both here and
in New York, for having taken this method
of getting even with Mr.. Hill for his treat
ment of the Presidents nominee.
