II Is mothers duty to crown her child
with that greatest blessing any human being
can possess health This she can
only do by taking proper care of herself
prlor to the child's birth, and especiallv
during the period of CESSATION. Too few
women realize the importance of their own
health. Too few understand that the health
OF their children is dependent upon the
vigor and health of the organs of reproduc-
uou. A woman who is to become a mother
owes It to her offspring to take thought of
the most important and delicate organs of
her body.
Every woman may be strong and healthy

Law of Variation in Children

Law of Variation in Children.
From Harper's Bazaar.
variation is the universally recognized
condition of all living creatures, human
and brute. 1t has ever been one of the
prime factors in the development Of the
race, and Is as purely scientific and imper-
sonal as Kepler's laws of the motion of the
planets. In discussing. heredity, therefore,
the physician, recognizing the universally
of the law of variation simply seeks to
ascertain what particular variation or COM
bination of variations was peculiar to the
immediate ancestors of the child under con-
sideration, who is their natural and in
cvftable exponent. No child is the child of
its father and mother alone. 1t Is the grand
child Of four ancestors, the great-grand-
child of eight. and the great-great-grand-
child of sixteen. 1t may revert to the in
dividual idiosyncrasy of any one of these
thirty ancestors, or even go further back.
and be most like some one of the multiply
ing numbers still more remotely removed.
The responsibility for a child's deficiencies
may not rest with either one of the two
parents, and the remedy for these defects.
which is In their hands. can only be found
after careful consideration Of the individual
variations manifested in the ancestors.

WAR WITH GREECE HAS GREATLY
INCREASED HIS PRESTIGE.
THE POWERS FEAR HIM AGAIN.
TURKISH REFORMS RELOCATED TO
THE DISTANT FUTURE.
European Newspapers All Comment
on the Tremendous Military Dis
play of the POrte-AbduI
Hamid Not Ready for
Peace With Greece.

London, May 15.-The sultan's reply to the
note of the ambassadors at Constantinople,
offering mediation. saying he would be
ready to discuss the matter after the great
Bairam festival, which ends on Sunday
night, justifies the fear that the powers
have drawn q geni out of the war that will
not be easy to get back. Abdul Hamid s
answer is cool almost to the point of in
science. 1t is that of a sovereign with a
powerful army behind him, and he is dis
posed to treat the powers cavalierly.
Articles published in the semi-official
press of the Continent show that the in
crease in the prestige of the sultan is the
chief concern of the European cabinets,
and that the prospects of an effective en-
forcement OF general reforms for the Turk
ish empire are thereby relegated to the
very distant future.
The Journal DesDebats declares that the
result of the war has been to place Turkey
in n position she has not held for the past
half century, adding: Her tremendous
military effort is largely in excess of what
the struggle against Greece requires. 1t
was done to refute the allegation of de-
crepitude and 10 demonstrate to the sui
tan's own subjects and to those of the
smaller statSs and r. the great powers that
Turkey is able TO hold her own against
other dangers than a war with Greece"
The British, Russian and Austrian news
papers echo these remarks, and it is gem
orally felt that this fact will have 10 be
reckOned with in the negotiations upon
the conditions of peace.
In the meanwhile the postponement Of
the sutan's reply until after the great
Bairam is interpreted as meaning that his
majesty intends that his army shall con-
tinue it's victorious advance until every
strategic point on the Othrya mountain
range is in the hands of the Turks, and
that only then will Edhem Pasha receive
orders to stop fighting.
The resumption of fighting by the Greeks
I'm Epirus is. regarded as n foolish move
and only furnishes Turkey with plausible
hiEders the progress of the peace negu-
tiatlons.
The chancelleries are also occupied with
the difficult problem of how Greece win
pay the war indemnity which Turkey
seems certain to demand. NJ. DelyanniE,
the former Greek premier. in his news
parer, sanguinely argues that Greece can
not be expected to pay an indemnify, be-
cause the Turks declared war officially
without provocation."
This view OF the question Is not shared
elsewhere, and an international commits
sion to administer the finances of Greece
on the Dass of the similar Turkish COIN
mission Il mooted. The Greek commits
sion would. II is proposed, sit at Athens
and take over the Greek customs for the
purpose of the Greek debt and possibly
for the war indemnity.
