writer's went SO far as to call him a

is pronounced a statesmanlike utter

NERVOUS CHILDREN.
Parents Are Responsible for Many of the
Ills of Their Loved Ones.

Parents Are Responsible for Many of the
Ills of Their Loved Ones.
An increased tendency to nervous
disorders in childhood is character
istic of the present age. Children now
suffer from various symptoms which
formerly were uncommon, except in
advanced life or among confirmed in
yalids.
Some of the symptoms thus observed
are extreme exhaustion after slight
overexertion, neuralgia pains in the
head or back, tendency to hysteria,
and, on the other hand, an abnormal
craving for excitement.
Parents Of children who suffer in this
way from nervous" symptoms should
look the matter squarely in the face,
and ask themselves if they are not in
part to blame.
One of the common mistakes of par
ents is that of allowing their children
to share in the pastimes and pleasures
of their elders; pastimes and pleasures
which in many cases are of too stimu-
lating a character for a child's more
susceptible nervous organization. The
fact that this is done out of affection
for the children, and from a desire for
their companionship, does not render it
less harmful.
Again, children are too frequently
granted the things for which they ask
or cry, without regard to the wisdom
of th&r desires. It is a mistake to
suppose that the will power of child
is weakened by denying him that
which gives him momentary pleasure.
The tendency toward making chill
dren prominent in the household,
while not to be condemned altogether,
may easily be carried to excess.
A child, even at an early age, should
be allowed to play and to spend some
time in amusing himself. When the
bed hour comes he should be put to bed,
and it is best that this should be done
without rocking or walking. The
hours of sleep should be long.
If any unusual or unnatural habits
are developed by the child, the physi-
clan should examine him carefully. In
nearly every case some local irritation
will be found, the relief of which will
remedy the evil. The child's clothes
should fit loosely.
The hysterical nature of the child is
developed by showing him off," or
by relating his exploits before him.
Constant scolding tends to make him
less tractable.
Out-of-door air is necessary to the
child's health. Play in the open air
supplies the physical wants of child
better than the restraints of carpet and
furniture.-Youth's Companion.

along the lines here outlined. The
objection that Russia is a tyrannical
country and should therefore not Sc
cure Constantinople is not logical; for
whatever may be said against Muscovite
rule the officials of the car have always
protected the lives and property and
respected the religious prejudices of
peoples and tribes conquered in war.
Moreover, although primitive in some
respects, Russia is Christian country,
capable of the highest development.
On the other hand, Turkey will never
rise above its present moral status, and
as long as it has Christian subjects will
murder and outrage them.
The present sultan, it is true, is a
weak ruler. But history has taught
that no sultan can defy the prejudices
of the palace ring, which is and always
will be anti-Christian; hence the acces-
sion of new ruler would not change
the present aspect of affairs.
The excellent map accompanying this
article shows Turkey in Europe and the
states which have been taken from her
within the memory of many readers.
The Turks who now rule over the rem
nants OF the Ottoman empire are of Tar
tar origin. They established them
selves on European soil in 1880. Sultan
Amurath l., called by some the greatest
general of the Ottoman tribe, estab-
| lished his capital at Adrianople There
the seat of government remained until
Mohammed III. conquered Constantine
pie in 1453, and made it the capital of
the Turkish empire, under the name of
Stamboul. In AGO the same "pad-
ishah"-this is the Turkish title for sui
tan-conquered Greece. Soleiman II,
who reigned from 1919 to 1866, brought
the empire to the height of it's glory.
He captured half of Hungary, besieged
Vienna, the capital of Austria, and
formed plans for subjugating the whole
occident. He was opposed by the flower
OF European chiyalry, and returned
to Constantinople. After Soleiman's
death Turkeys position was almost inn
pregnable, but near the close of the 10th
century the fabric began to totter. Sew
eral expeditions sent against the Hun
garians and Germans ended in disaster.
In the 18th century began the dismem-
berment of the thoroughly corrupt en-
pire. 1t lost province after province
until the name of the sick man OF
Europe was applied to it by everybody.
The world has never had more wicked
and corrupt government than thar
founded by the cruel Orkhan. Let all
Christian men and women pray that his
equally cruel successor. Abdul Hamid
H., will be the last of the tribe to occupy
@ European throne.

place it upon the sole, as shown in the

OF the matter is, neither Russia nor

wishing to secure possession of Con-
stantinople and the Bosphorus.
England might be induced to acqui-
esce in Russia's grab game, provided
she could secure the Turkish islands
in the archipelago and one or two
provinces in Asia Minor. In the event
of such a settlement Austria would
claim Montenegro and Scutari, the pos
session of which provinces would di-
vide the control of the Adriatic sea be-
tween Italy and herself. Discussion
about Macedonia might be avoided by
adding it to the kingdom of Greece,
to which it really belongs. Germany
would not interfere with such an ar
rangement, provided the kingdom of
Roumania, which is under its special

would remain independent nominally,

Millions of Shells Are Needed Annually for
the Manufacture of Buttons.
"They that go down to the sea in
ships to do business in great waters"
are more numerous that we land-loverS
imagine. If we pause for a minute and
think of the countless pearl buttons
that are daily sold and utilized, all over
the world, we may then realize the
quantity of oyster shells required to
supply this demand.
The shells from which our pearl but
tons are obtained are quite large,
weighing about three-quarters OF q
pound apiece. They are shipped to us
from Australia. The accompanying
sketch illustrates themanner in which
shell is usually diagrammed before it is
sent to the factory. The long narrow
strip at the top forms one of the mother
of-pearl pen holders now SO popular for
holiday gifts. The straight strips are
generally made into handles of pocket
knives, but the curved piece in the up
per right hand corner is saved, either to
fitted into the handle of large carving
knife or to adorn pistol stock. The
large buttons are generally cut from
the center of the shell, while the small
er ones extend along the outer edge.
After the diagramming is finished,
the shell is sent to the factory to be cut,
filed, chiseled, grooved and polished,
are carded and ready for market. The

One thing is certain, and that is that
neither the democratic party nor the
republican party appear to be anxious
to assume control and responsibility for
the legislation of the senate during the
months preceding a great presidential
contest before the people. 1t may seem
strange that there should thus be ex-

public men, but they are great men,
wise men, all of them good politicians,
and they are playing a great game for
national supremacy. You are as able
to guess what they will do as am; for,

much of the drift of sentiment on such
