Prof. G. Stanley Hall, of Clark Uni
versity, has been collecting facts con-
corning the fears Of children. The fears
Of children, he says, are generally Gre
ated by parents. Prof. Hall found that
1,701 children had 6,456 fears, the lead
ing ones being the fear Of lightning
and thunder, reptiles, strangers, the
dark, death, domestic animals, disease,
wild animals, water, ghosts, insects,
rats and mice, robbers, high winds, etc.
A few Of these fears are rational. In
New Jersey no children were found to
be afraid of high winds, but in the
West that fear naturally leads all 9th.

children were found who dreaded the

ly by adult teaching. The table shows
what education can do in this respect
No child was found to be afraid of the
devil. Two hundred years ago and less
that fear would have led all the rest
Few were found who were afraid OF
ghosts, a fear which would have stood
high on the list not long ago. At Cam
bridge, Mass, only 1916 out of 500 boy:
were afraid of thunder storms and only
230 out of 500 girls. The fear of rob
bers and of wild animals is survival
though robbers have not disappeared
as completely as the wild animals. For

The remarkable increase of cancer in
Great Britain is attracting the atten-
ton of the physicians of that country.
According to the last issued report of
the Registrar General the death rate
from this source has exceeded every
previous record, and the proportional
mortality at present is four times
greater than it was fifty years ago.
In 1910 there were but 2.7S6 deaths
from cancer in England or about in
5,646 of the total population. In 1894
there were nearly $4,000 deaths from
the same cause, or 1 out of 1,4O3 Of
the population and / out of % Of the
mortality. In the Investigations on
this subject the curious discovery was
made that the decline in the death rate
from consumption and other tubercu-
lous diseases conceded with the in
crease in the mortality from cancer.
The theory is advanced that a large
proportion of those who recover from
tuberculous complaints eventually per-
ish from cancer or insanity. The mat
ter is receiving careful investigation.

1t is oYerpoweringly depressing to
hear that Gibraltar is no longer in
vincible, if not practically defenseless.
The Governor of the ''rock," Sir Rob-
ert Biddulph, says that the garrison
could be shelled out of it with ease
now by the Spaniards, and a special
commission has been appointed to hear
his report and devise means for reforti-
flying within a year. By the aid of
the modern long-range guns and pro-
jectiles of great penetration, with which
Spain has been equipping her batteries
at Algeciras, six miles away across
Gibraltar Bay, the once unapproach-
able has been brought within reach,
and the impregnable has been made
vulnerable. England can refOrtify,
and, of course, will, but the peculiar
strength Of this historic spot has dis,
appeared, and it is on the same basis
of defense as other exposed eminences.
The world would little mourn If En-.
gland Dhould be dislodged from this
vantage, even by her rival robber
Spain, but fancy would repine at the
shattering of its immemoriaI idol, and
language would sustain a severe loss
in the destruction of the term "'impreg,
nable as Gibraltar"

The press Of Bolivia is much excited
over the reports that Peru is making
formidable efforts in the ways of arm
ing" and urges the Bolivian Govern
ment to bestir itself and get ready
for possible war. This seems to be
an unnecessary expense at this time
These South American wars do not
call for the formalities that are COM
mon in European contests. If Peru Is
bent on war with Bolivia it can go
ahead and hold its war and not bother
Bolivia with the project, especially if
Bolivia doesn't happen to feel like in
dulging in war now. Bolivia need
not know anything about it if the press
will only keep quiet until the war is all
over and not even then, unless it choos-
es to go to the trouble to ascertain the
details. Peru could enjoy its war for
the customary period of about q week,
and then wait until Bolivia is given &
chance at its leisure to hold a war to
even things up. The mere detail of
'arming for the fray" is superfuous,
for 1t isn't that kind of a fray. No
body is ever injured in these wars,
which are like our national holidays,
only more frequent.

Sprague is a very handsome blonde.
She has a regal air, and her naturally
distinguished appearance is enhanced
by the exquisite taste she displays in
her gowns. Her dresses, from the
faultlessly fitting tailor-made walking
gowns she wears in the street to the
gorgeous creations in which she is
CARRIED in society, are at once the ad-

Mrs. Sprague is n superb hostess. Her
great wealth enables her to have just
what she desires when she entertains,

ably assisted by Mr.. Sprague, who is

The vast crop of corn is perplexing
the Nebraska farmers, because it is
difficult to take care of so much of even
a good thing. But with the cribbing
and the shipping it is keeping all hands
employed now, and when the returns
come in there will be compensa-
ton in the feasting and frolic which
properly follow an abundant harvest.
The corn crop is great boon, because
it gives employment to a vast army Of
willing hands in harvesting and ship
ping. The year just closed was a good
one for Nebraska, but the coming one
promises even better results.

The statistics of crime in 1896 do not
improve the reputation Of the past year
MS rather dark period in our history,
though the record is not altogether I'M
favorable by comparison with previous
years. There were 122 legal execu-
tions during the year and 131 lynch
Ings, which is a rather startling COM
mentary on the methods by which the
law is executed and defied in this coun-
try. That neither lynchings nor legal
executions serve to check the crime
of murder is shown by the statement
that there were no less than 1862
murders committed during the year.
This is a shocking exhibit.
