The Children.

When one considers that so much OF
child's first knowledge of the world he
lives in must come through contact with
objects around him, 1t seems pity to re-
tard 1t by teaching 1t that IL Is not right
to lift and pinch and pound its surround.

mother who believes she has the right
method has surrounded her babies In their
playroom by things that are not easily in
jured. The playthings are of rubber, the
cats, dogs and dolls of calico, the picture
books of linen and the dishes pewter. The
nursery need not be devoid of beauty with
this theory Good pictures may be upon

A warmth snd Richness Of Tone One Cen
Find Nowhere Else.
Though must admit that South Az
rica, taken as whole, offers far less to
attract the lover of natural beauty than
does southern or western Europe or the
Pacific states of North America, there are
two kinds OF charm which 1t possesses In
a high degree. One is that of color. Mo-
notonous as the landscapes often are, there
IL warmth and richness Of tone about
them which fills and delights the eye. One
sees comparatively little Of that pale gray
limestone which so often gives hard and
chilling aspect to the scenery OF the lower
ridges of the Alps and of large parts OF
the coaasts of the Mediterranean. In AT
RIGA even the gray granite has deeper
tone than these limestones, and II Is fire.
quently covered by red and yellow lichens
of wonderful beauty.
The dark basalts and porphyries which
occur In so many places, the rich red tint
which the surface of the sandstone rocks
SO often takes under the scorching sun,
give great depth of tone to the landscape.
and, though tho flood Of midday sunshine
is almost overpowering the lights or
morning and evening touching the noun
tains with every shade of rose and crimson
and violet, are indescribably beautiful. 1t
is in these morning and evening hours
that the charm of the pure, dry air Is spe-
cially felt. Mountains 80 or go miles away
stand out clearly enough to enable all the
wealth of their color and all the delicacy
of their outlines to be perceived, and the
eye realizes, by the exquisitely fine change
of color tinge between the nearer and the
moro distant ranges, the immensely and
the harmony of the landscape.
Europeans may think that tho continu-
| Gus profusion of sunlight during most OF
| the year may become wearisome. 1 was
| not long enough in the country to find 1t
| so, and / notice that those who have lived
| for a few years in South Africa declare
| they prefer that continuous profusion to
| the murky skies of Britain or Holland or
north Germany. But even If the fine
weather which prevails for eight months
| in the year be somewhat monotonous,
there Is compensation in the extraordinary
| brillancy of the atmospheric effects
| throughout the rainy season and especial
| ly In its first weeks.
During nine days which spent in the
| Transvaal at that season, when several
thunderstorms occurred almost every day
the combinations of sunshine, lightning
| and cloud, and the sympbonies-if the ex
| preston may be permitted-of light anC
shade and color which their changefu
play produced in the sky and on the earth
were more various and more wonderful
than whole year would furnish forth To-
enjoyment in most parts OF Europe.

HEADACHES.
Tho Proper Methods OF Treating These
Enervating Reflex Conditions.

Tho Proper Methods OF IreatinB Ahoso
Enervating Reflex Conditions.
"There are so many kinds of head
aches" said DR.. Preston, "that there Is
no use trying to tell what one should do
for an attack. And remember, too, head
ache is not disease at all. 1t Is a reflex
condition resulting from trouble ut some
other point.
"Headaches are usually of three kinds
catarrhal, neurasthenic and sick, or stom-
achic. You sec at once that the way to
cure these is to remove the cause or the
trouble. The catarrhal headache over the
eyes Is distressing and can only be RENE
died by the removal of the conditions The
cold or catarrh must be cured or allayed,
so that the nerves will BIO free from the
pressure which results in the trouble.
"The neurasthenio or nervous head
ache, the bane of the sedentary man, the
disorder which gives him wrinkles and
gray hairs, is the greatest agony OF all and
is perhaps the most easy of treatment, II
one will take the proper steps. This is
where the bicycle and the gymnasium

man who is subject to such headaches
will but take the proper amount OF work
outside his office, walk, ride, swing Indian
clubs and dumbbells, do any of the things
which make muscle and bring the physic-
ally tired feeling, then he will find relief.
"The most common of all headaches Is
that which arises from disordered assim-
ilation. The food is not taken up properly.
| The stomach and the liver, the secretory or
gans, are disordered All these conditions
| contribute to the sick headache, and 1t Is
the improper mastication of the food which
more than anything else brings on these

liations, and in the case of full FLOODED

something which will reduce the pressure

A GIANT RACE.
How Three Stalwart Americans Created
Mild Sensation In England.

niu cchsosAoh ~ A@hs'".'
The friends of DR.. McVickar never tire
of telling an adventure the good doctor
had in the spring of 1888, when he went
to Europe with the late DR.. Phillips Brooks
and Mr.. Robinson, the builder of Boston's
Trinity church. Mr.. Robinson stands o
feet 2 inches in his stockings. DIR. Nc
Vickar measures 6 feet inches, and DIR.
Brooks exceeded 6 feet in height. While
at Leeds they went to hear lecturer ad-
dress the workingmen on america and
Americans" The lecturer stated that
Americans were, as rule, very short in
stature, and seldom, If ever, rose to the
height of 5 feet 10 inches. In fact, they
were race of pygmies. He did not know
to what cause to attribute that fact, but he
wished that he could present examples
DIR. Brooks rose to his feet and stretched
his immense frame to the utmost, as he
said:
II am an American. I do not exceed
the average American in stature or in
weight, and sincerely hope If there is any
other representative Of my country present
he will vouch for tho truthfulness of my
remarks"
in moment Mr.. Robinson arose and
said In a stentorian voice:
Il am an American and am feet 2
inches tall and am just below the average
height of my countrymen. Ifthere be any
other American here, / hope he will cor
roborate me-"
BY this time the house was In jolly
humor. Waiting until the excitement
could abate in some degree and the lecturer
regain control of his nerves, DIR. McVickar
arose, drew his form to its full height and
exclaimed

pictures Of street scenes with several
houses, jinrikishas, horses and hundred
people, all Illuminated by daylight, which
greatly increases the reality of the illusion.
The japanese stage has its blood and
thunder plays and tank dramas as well as
Its stories of feudal days. In the theater
only are the old national customs Illus
trated and magnificent costumes of former
barbaric splendor seen. One play Is very
popular with foreigners on account of
the Introduction of trailing trousers, with
two feet of cloth extending over the
ieet and worn In the shotgun days, so that
the subjects even while walking might
have the appearance of kneeling to their
sovereign.

some heroic deed and submits them to the

tne star, shapes the plot, and the actors are
allowed to fill in their parts in order to
snow themselves to the best advantage.
