HOW CHILDREN ARE SPOILED.

The Young Mother Testers Ugly Traits By
a. Injudlcious Management. =.
The dangers that cluster about the
untried feet Of tho young mother begin
from the very first dawning of her
babes intelligence. Long before she
dreams of his knowing anything or re-
ceiving mental Impressions, the seeds
are sowing for good or i'll in his char
acter. I have watched the growth Of
weeds that, with the lightest touch,
might have been tipped away from the
tender soil, but time passed by and the
intruder fourished apace. Get control
of your child during the first three
years and you are sure of him. If the
habit of obedience and Difference Is
firmly rooted then he will never fail you
in after years when he has slipped the
apron leash.
The trouble Is too often with the
parents. The mother herself fosters
ugly traits by injud1cious management.
Her baby refuses to Hiss her. She makes
believe to cry about it and thus gives a
lesson that will soon have him crying
for what he wants. He bumps his head
and she whips the door or whatever it
was that hurt him, thus teaching him to
be combative and spiteful. What is it
that makes nearly all children liars and
many OF them thieves9 They are
trained to be so by the unconscious fin
gers that point the way. The mother
promises anything, everything to keep
peace and avoid combat with the
little creature, who even now IS beyond
her control. She does not fulfill these
promises and the child becomes her
judge. Never tell lie to child, Or in
any way deceive him, if you would hope
to get the proper influence. Do not rob
him Of the happiness of supreme trust
in YOU, 1t will cling to him through life.

Il is tho fashion now to abuse rich

many who are rich afraid to make any

the thought that it is righteous and just
and proper that you should have all the
comforts and Injuries your riches can
procure you, so long az they are not de-

Is relative term just like economy.
Their meaning depends on The man ia
whom they are applied. Il would be

It would be extraTagant IN . poor man
not to do SO. for, if he dad not. he would
be apt to fall in debt. A man has right

JAPAN's EXPANSION.

tr1lia.

How She Feels in Regard t. ARO
The German papers inform England
that there are other besides English,
speaking races imbued with the desire
for new territory. It would be inter
esting to know in how far our Ge,mas
contemporaries acknowledge the right
to expand Of nations outside of Europe
japan, to the horror Of the Euronea1
element in the far east, turns hser atten-
ton toward the Indian ocean. We CON
dense the following account by Mr.. Aud
ley Coote in the Angus. Melbourne:
"While in a car with several Japanese
officers they were conversing a0out
Australia. saying that it was q fine
large country, with great forests and
excellent soil for the cultivation Of nice,
coffee, tea and other tropical products.
The whites settled in Australia, SC
thought these officers, arc like the dog
in the manger. Some one will have te
take good part Of Australia to develop
it, for it Is pity to see so fine coun.
try lying waste. England is useful
enough nation as an ally to Japan, but
if any ill-feeling arose between the two
countries it would be a wise thing to
send some battleships to Australia and
annex part of it. found that this is
the prevalent opinion in Japan, and il
is certainly not surprising that this
small country, teeming with its As .ooo,.
600, should regard Australia, with only
100000. with . certain amount od
covetoqlsness."
Commenting upoa this, the Argu,
says:
eve have not formulated OF even dis
cussed any rational policy to guide us
in our dealings with these eastern
neighbors; consequently the a*titude
of Australia must be one of simple
aloofness. Mr.. Coote's tidings ere an
eloquent homily to Queensland as to
tie necessity for federation and re
minder to the colonies generally how
precarious the position OF Australia
would be were 1t not AN integral part Of
the British empire. While that is so
menace can only arise to Australia in
the event of a great war In which the
naval strength of the empire is over
taxed. in such q case Japan, enrolled
upon tho side Of England's enemies,
would be an important factor in the
sum from theAustralian point Of view"
The Australians, therefore, Like the
Spaniarus, are not inclined to do more
than toke note of the fact that danger
may threaten them from Japan. II Is
different with the Dutch. They talk of
taking the bull BY the horns. Prof.
Schlegel writes in the Dsgblad, The
Hague as follows:
''THe OILY way to guard against at
tacks upon the colonies by the Jap

SET FIRE TO A BEAR.
Tom Clark Was freed and His On
Weapon Was Kerosene.

Tom Clark Was freed and His Only
Weapon Was Kerosene.
Tom Clark, a well-known northern
Pennsylvania hunter, tells the following
experience that befcll him recently
when hunting near Williamsport: MY
horse was well loaded with -four. bacon
and other stuff for my hunting cabin,
and I had my rifle lying across the -four
sack in front Of me. Out of the brush
into cur path walked q great big
bear.
MY horse gave q snert and wheeled,
and tried to throw me into the brush as
he departed from the trail. I had no
revolver, and my rife was travelling
down the mountain.
my knowledge Of bears was limited,
and at that particular time was not
anxious for new acquisition in that line.
The bear seemed to regard me with a
friendly eye, for he boldly advanced,
while made for tree Tho bear want
ed to keep me company, for hes got To the
foot of the tree by the time had gained
q limb about six feet from the ground.
The tree was Just about small enough
for him to climb, and he tried his claws
on the bark as high as he could reach.
1 was in q bad fix. and no way to help
myself.
II had no knife, but luck and happy
thought helped me. had Q canteen OF
kerosene suspended around my neck,
which ] thought would make his eyes
smart. The oil had no effect, for tho
brute continued to look at me, and
seemed to grin.
Then another idea occurred to me-
I had q fresh box Of matches, and If
I could set fire to the oil that poured
over the bears head the battle was won.
I made several attempts to drop burn.
ing matches on the oily head Of the bear,
but the lucifers either went out or
missed the mark.
Il had no paper. but managed to
tear q piece of lining out of my vest,
and, getting a limb almost three feet
long, fastened the rag to it, set fire to
the rag, and with more satisfaction
than ever did anything else lowered
the burning rag at the end Of the stick,
until within about three feet OF the
bears oil7soakcd head, and let it drop.
''The oil instantly took fire. The
animal was surprised beyond the limit
Of any bears imagination. One howl
Of pain, then up went the paws to rub
the burning head. to get burned for
their trouble, followed by another howl;
then down with tine nose into the dirt,
but no relief, when, with terrific howl,
the bear made a rush through the
brush, up the mountain, out of sight"
