DR.. Cyrus Edison, in the Youths Companion.
In no nation at any time have the de-
mands on the nervous forces been as great
Els in these United States. The develop
ment Of this country is unexampled, be-
cause natural forces. of which our fore
fathers knew little or nothing, have been
brought into mankinds service in this age.
1t follows naturally on the increased
amount of work possible to human beings
during the last century that men and wo-
men should have been forced to make IN
creased drafts on their nervous force. The
more work one does, the more one must
think, especially when the work is not that
of ones own hands. With nervous excite
ment in the parents, there Is the tendency
to nervousness in the children. Hence they
are showing nervous diseases as there is
no record Of children having shown them
before. AS these children, when they grow
up. will enter life of nervous strain. and
as we can prepare them for this strain only
by giving them the strongest possible
bodies, 1t Is well that we should watch
carefully any nervous strain on them now.
Though there may be a question as to
whether school hours are too long, there
is none in my mind as to the amount the
children are required to learn. The pro-
cess of adding to the list of studies has
gone steadily on, until now the children
are forced to absorb an astonishing amount
of solid information.
pie, any disorder will show itself in the
stomach, and in the lack of desire for
food. This danger signal Of capriciousness
or failure Of appetite is the most common
and valuable given by children.
There are other nervous strains on the
children beside those of the school, and
they play an important part in the lives
of the little ones. Among these are late
hours, for children need all the sleep they
can get; parties. the theater and books.
Ihese draw ON the nervous force, because
they stimulate, the mird, already stimulat-
ed too much. One of the most important
strains is that sympathetic excitement
which comes to them from the excitement
In the lives of the grown people around
them. 1 have seen child in very fever
of nervousness after listening to the dis
cussion Of a murder. This form of excite
ment We can only lessen for the children
by exercising care when We talk before
them. The sum and substance of my plea
Is that the bodies of children should be
developed. We can, IL We so elect, have
them strong enough to bear the burden of
coming years. or we can so stimulate their
nervous systems as to unfit them utterly
for the work beforehand.

Alleged Breach of Coutr.ct.

plaintiffs, agreeing not to engage in the
business, directly or indirectly, within ten
squares thereof for five years. For two

the deepest regret and sympathy with the
family and the American nation on the
death of S. Dana Horton, whose incessant
labors have done SO much for International

Owing to the fact that the cablegram

NO ENDORSEMENT OF BIMETALLIsM.
Significance of the Vote Taken In the
House of Commons.

Robert L. Everett, liberal, representing
the Woodbridge division Of Suffolk, moved
in the British house of commons yesterday
the bimetallic resolution, which was ap-
proved on Friday last by the parliamentary
committee Of the Bimetallic League, and
it was adopted without division.
The resolution, in substance. was that
this house regards with increasing ap-
prehension the constant fluctuations and
growing divergence in the relative value
of gold and silver and heartily concurs in
the recent expression Of opinion upon the
part Of the government of France and
the government and parliament Of Ger
many in regard to the serious evils result
Ing therefrom. 1t, therefore, urges upon
the government the desirability of cooper
ating with other nations In an international
conference to consider what measures can
be taken to mitigate these evils"
Mr.. Henry Chaplain, conservative, who
seconded the resolution, pointed to the sit
uation of India as proving the necessity
OF an International understanding on the
subject. He also urged the government
to reopen the Indian mints, provided the
other powers reopened theirs. and to give
every facility for promoting the increased
use of silver i'll England, short of chang
ing her own standard.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, replying
for the government. admitted that the
QHtSllOH WdS d grave Otle Out ne Qenleu
that the distress in husbandry was due
to the characterization of silver, adding that
husbandry was never In a more ruinous
state than during the period when the
duality of silver and gold existed, and he
asserted that he was as convinced of the
value of monometallism as Mr.. Chaplain
was of the value of bimetallism.
Sir William concluded by remarking that
as Mr.. Everett's motion did not commit
the government to an agreement in re-
gard to bimetallism, and as the govern
ment did not deny the existence of the
evils referred to- and as the resolution
only invited the government to join in any
communications on the subject, whether
In the form of conference or otherwise,
with tho great states Of Europe, he would
not oppose the motion. He announced that
he declined to place the currency of Eng
land under the control Of an international
committee, adding: If France and Ger
bine on the question, they can do SO. But
1t Is not for Great Britain to follow their
example"
Ballard Smith sends the following spe-
cial from London regarding the vote: The
acceptance by the government of the BIZ
metallist resolution in the house of COM
mons does not indicate any change OF min
isterial opinion on the currency problem.
The blmetallists. in order to catch votes,
had watered down their motion so that 1t
involves no declaration of principles and
merely commits Its supporters to approval
OF sending British representatives to any
future international currency conference.
Any representative sent by the present
government to q currency conference will
be q monometallist, and though Balfour
