don Bennett.
LONDON, Nov. 12.-Lord Salisbury's
momentous speech is still the central
topic of interest, but it failed to do
away with that unrest which is the
dominant feature of the situation. His
reference to the United States is re-
scented by that section Of the commun-
ity which is loudest in advocating an
Anglo American alliance. Even from
the radical party complaints are heard
that Salisbury did not proclaim an
Egyptian protectorate, and Sir Charles
Dixie points out that now is the time
to settle outstanding difficulties with
France, those of Newfoundland in
Guided, and that an opportunity to do
so is being lost. The general opinion
is that there is more uncertainty in the
outlook than there has been at any
other time in these last twenty years.
The German Emperor's visit to Spain
also continues to excite adverse COM
ment, and by no means is the least
om!Eous feature of the present unsatis-
factory aspect of affairs. That u Ken
eral confagration may be the outcome
OF the near future is an opinion fire.

THE WARNING LIMP.
s.ouid Never He Overlooked in a Child, for 1t May Have
 Serious Cause.

rhsre are two extremes, into one or
 ,,s other of which many mothers fall - .bat of oversolicitude for their chil-
 ,-ar A fussiness and tendency to -sdIe them and to run with them to sSs doctor for every ache or pain; and .ha. of careless inattention to a shild's complaint of feeling poorly or to injuries received in rough play.
 Tn the first case the child is in dan rer of developing into an irritable, selfsh valetudinarian while the moth or. by her worry, destroys the happi- ness of what ought to be the sweetest uart of a woman's life, and is in dan OCT also of driving herself into a con 5ition of nervous invalidism.
 On the other hand, a mother who babitually dismisses without second thought every complaint by her child of discomfort or pain, or who thinks if will make her boy more manly if she schools herself not to betray sympa- inv for him in his physical troubles, runs the serious risk of ignoring some incipient i'll which, if taken in time, may be arrested, but if neglected may develop into lifelong afiiiction.
 Of these two extremes the former is attended with by far the more serious danger to the child, but the latter is not without it's perils.
 There is one symptom, especially, that should never be passed over light ly in a child, and that is limp-espe- cially one that is intermittent. It may be nothing more serious than a slight sprain or a 'stone bruise," or perhaps mere footsoreness from unwonted tramps over rough roads. It may be due to little muscular soreness or rheumatism, or to a passing stiffness in a joint resulting from overexercise; but,-and this is where its seriousness lies-it may be the earliest symptom of hip disease.
 This painful and crippling disease often. indeed usually, begins with an apparently insignificant limp, which comes and goes for perhaps several months before any other symptom of the malady shows itself. Itis often att tributed by the parents, and some times by the physician, to one or other of the aforementioned causes or to a simple habit, and as it is usually unac- companied by pain it is neglected until finally other severe symptoms show, perhaps too late for cure, what the real trouble is.
 A limp that comes and goes repeat edly, especially when the child can not explain why he walks lame, is danger signal ;ssnnaall ttihatt tihatt even the strongest advocate of the "toughening" system ought to heed.-Youth's Companion.

When man Is peculiarly quick to see

slghtcdness solely for his own benefit,
other men are apt to be afraid OF him.
That was how 1t was with Ralph Ber-

quick to see valuable thing, and ap-
proprlate 1t before anybody else real
lied its worth, that dealers got fright
ened when he entered their shops.
