The Importance of Discipline
To Every Child

A sermon of great value is contained in the following written by a bright woman for tho womans department of ex change:
 Not long ago, in a convention of mothers, and of those who are retained as special counsel, to advise mothers, the question whether one should ever say must" to a child was gravely discussed. There were -lOSe present who seriously contended that 70 direct command should ever be given, but that the mother should delicately and automatically insinuate her desires. In this way, it was argued. one would save the child from committing any overt act of disobedience, since there would be noth- ing to disobey
 If the idea was not such a dangerous one it would be full of grim humor. Not say must, to a child, when life is one long, inevitable must! If mothers duty means anything on earth it means she shall give the child such a preparation shall best enable him to meet the storms and stress of life, as well as it's sunshine and roses. There could be no more exquisite cruelty than not to teach him that there are duties that must be done, sacrifices that must be made, pain and sorrw that must be borne. There is no volition about the great facts of every life. There is no arguing, no pos sibility to escape. Riches cannot buy off death or suffering. Love cannot shield from grief and disappointment. We must tread the wine press alone.
 In the SelnShneSS or mother love this is of the things that it is hard to &C., cept She knows in some sort of blind way that her child must be subject to the com mon lot, and yet she tries to put it off in her unwisdom. It would be as well to feed the prize fighter on sugar plums, and nurse him on downy cushions, and then expect him to have the strength to fight when the day of battle came. The child who has never learned to yield at home, who has not been taught that he must submit cheerfully to the inevitable, and make the hest of it. or to give up his own will to the superior judgment of some one else, is sent handicapped out into a world where must rules.
 The very roots of all religion, good cit- zenship and government are founded in obedience, and the education in that should begin in the nursery. Indeed it must be- gin there or do the individual grievous wrong. Many blasted career and blighted life can be traced right back to the weak ness of the mother who tried to save her child from everything unpleasant And when the task of disciplinng an undis- ciplined spirit falls to the world, 1t does it with a hard and cruel hand. In obedience, in yielding to must" there is nothing de- rogatory. It is the beauty and the dignity with which a great soul accepts the final decrees of fate with calmness and courage.

Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson's Work.
 Trip 10 Eqypt's Ruins

Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson of Philadelphia left a few days ago for Egypt to investi- gate murnmies and other uncanny, depress- ing things, in the interest of the American Exploration society.
 She is secretary of this organization, which has for its president Dr. William Pepper and was selected for the under taking because of her knowledge of arch geology and her general fitness for the work. During the Columbian exposition Mrs. Stevenson was one of the judges for Greece, Babylon and Egypt in the depart ment of ethnology, and is the first woman whose name ever appeared on the calendar of Harvard college. She has lectured before the Peabody Museum, and Is woman of wide culture. She is also president of the Philadelphia Civic club.
 Mrs. Stevenson carried with her strong letters of indtrsement from the state de- partment at Washington, and through the influence Of these papers she will receive the cooperation of the Egyptian govern ment. The explorations will be made some- where along the banks of the Nile, and Mrs. Stevenson will probably return to America in March.
