IMPRESSIONS OF CHILDHOOD:
Once Formed They Last Through
Life.


Many persons of middle age recall
events, oftentimes the most trivial.
which occurred during the period OF
childhood with greater readiness than
those OF few months or yearsspre-
vious. e.
Impressions made upon theiulind OF
child are often indelible, therefore
the utmost care should be exercised by
those who have them in charge as to
the conversation to which they are al
lowed to listen and the events in which
they participate.
A middle-aged woman recently vis-
tied Vermont town where she had in
childhood been a pupil at an academy
which fiourished in those days, but
which ceased TO exist some years since.
the old building where its sessions were
held being removed.
The outlook from the windows Of
one end of the school building had been
upon an ancient cemetery, and during
20 years of absence the visitor had re-
tatned as the strongest impression OF
her school life in the town the ap-
pearance of an old slate headstone with
the grewsome decoration characteristic
of the olden time and an inscription
setting forth the virtues of one "Mrs.
Experience, relict Of Abraham Slater"
which always mel her eyes as she stood
in class beside a window of the school
house, and which seemed part Of the
lessons recited there.
During an absence of 90 years >
reminder OF the school invariably
brought a recollection of the head
stone, and during the recent visit she
found il still there in all its hideous-
ness, all that remained of the old schopl
life.
Thus impressions are often MADE np|
on the mind of a child by things which
have no connection with his real life.
but which stand out in bold rellee
against the background OF memory
with the same startling directness
noted by the amateur photographs
when he finds upon the developed plate
an object he had not intended to pene-
trate.
Like a sensitiZed plate, recording the
slightest impression, good or evil, joy
Gus or the reverse, is the brain of
child. Many strong prejudices retained
through life may be traced 10 some in
fiuence received in childhood, some
word spoken, carelessly, perhaps, bya
mature person in whose Judgment the
child had implicit confidence.
Therefore the greatest care should
be exercised that the child brain should
be subjected only to cheerful, health
full Impressions. Everything morbid
or sensational should be strictly with
held, and discussion upon subjects be-
yond the comprehension Of the imma-
ture mentality should not be INDUCED
in when the children are present.
Like the unfolding of beautiful
flower is the mental development OF a
child. and, like the blossom, il attains
perfection only when all the conditions
are favorable. That blight or imper-
! fection of any sort shall not mar its
complete fulfillment should be the con
stant care Of parents and guardians
Eternal vigilance" should be the rule,
that the entrance upon the broader life
of manhood or womanhood may not
be handicapped by impressions and
prejudices absorbed during the forma-
tive period, and which it is impossible
10 erase from the memory. - Boston

IrrIrntInn In AfrIcn.

When the river Nile is high enough,
at the time OF its annual overflow, dams
in its banks are cut, allowing the water
10 flow in canals which carry it into the
country. From these canals bitches and
cutters distribute il among the farms,
which are divided into squares by ridges
of earth few inches high. The peasant
regulates the flow OF water with his
feet. BY Il skillful use of his toes he
makes an opening in a ridge or closes
it up, and thus causes the water to GO
where 1t is needed. This was a very an
c!ent way of irrlgating the land. and
Moses probably refers 10 ii when he con
trasts the rains and dews of Palestine
with the artificial watering of Egypt.
For the land where thou goest in 10
possess il is not as the land of Egypt
from which We came out. where thou
sowest thy seed and wateredst il with
thy foot, as a garden of herbs; but the
land whittier We 60 10 possess it is a land
of hills and valleys, and drinketh water
of the rain of heaven" Deut. 1l;l0-12.--

We Must Assume Responsibility In the

Which Confronts Uncls

Montpelier, VT, Nov. 3.-United
States Senator Redneld Proctor. who
arrived here after a trip abroad this
afternoon. addressed the joint assem-
bly, of the house and senate, which.
asst month reelected him. Senator
Proctor's address was brief and vas
confined to an outline Of the foreign
situation which confronts the eovern-
ment of the United States. The sena-
tor said:
THE future policy Of this country is
the greatest question before our peo-
pie. Hawaii and Porto Rico nave been
added to the nations dominion. and we
have become sponsors for the good
government of Cuba. We must assume
some responsibility in the far East.
whether II be greater or less. In my
opinion. the responsibilities In the far
East are bound to be greater. Many
wise and patriotic men In the country
believe we should retain no territory
nor control any part Of the Philippines
beyond a coaling station. or possibly a
single island. I recognize the cogency
Of their argument, but have failed to
see clearly any practical way of carry
ing out their views. II any turisdic-
ton is assumed In the East. there Is
no logical stopping place short of the
whole of the Philippines. To establish
a divided sovereignty would invite
trouble. Since that May morning when
the Spanish fleet was destroyed, II has
seemed to me practically settled that
Spain must surrender her entire con-
troll of the Philippines. You will par
don me II I ave spoken too plainly.
but II seemed to me that a rank
statement of what I believe would be
the Inevitable outcome was not i'm
proper at this time"

No Need tn Wait.

washington. Nov. 3.-The department OF
Justice during the past few days has been
op~portuned by n large number OF business
men and lawyers to define the status OF
the involuntary feature OF the bankruptcy
law passed during the last session OF con-
eress. Congress provided that when the
involuntary feature of the measure should
40 into effect Il should be accompanied by
a set of rules and orders formulated by
the supreme court OF the United States
for It's execution. The supreme court not
having compiled these rules and orders,
some question was raised as to whether
the law could be properly enforced at
the time provided for-Nov. I. The de-
partment of justice to-day. however. held
that the absence OF these orders will not
materially AFFECT the enforcement OF the
law and hat they are not absolutely es-
sential TO the execution of the act. and
that there is no need to wait on the SUI
preme court rules.

The Volunteers In Porto Rico Not Guilty

washington. Nov. s.-Some of the
newspapers published In Porto Rico
have been printing articles bitterly
criticising the conduct Of the United
States soldiers who have been sent to
the island as a permanent garrison.
The soldiers have been OF all
sorts Of mlsdemeanors. OF rufiianism. Of
petty larceny. of the destruction Of pri-
vate property and. in fact. of every
kind OF excess which might be charged
against green troops In a foreign

The charges reflected particularly on
the volunteer regiments. and were so
general and earnest that Secretary AL

notice OF them. II was evident that N
they were well founded. the Porto Ric-

A GREATER REPUBLIC.
The United States of Central America
Has Begun ITS Existence.

The United States of Central America
Has Begun Its Existence.
Washington, Nov. IA complete
transformation OF the geography or
Central America occurred Nov. 1. by
the birth OF a new republic. the United
states of Central America. and the dis
appearance OF the republic OF Nicara-
qua, Salvador and Honduras, except
as states of the new union.
Senior Corea. charge d'afaires OF this
republic during their transition stage,
has received detailed information of
the changes effected. and the form of
the government of the new republic.
As indicating the dignity N impor-
lance OF the United States OF Central
America, Mr.. Corea pointed out that
IL has a population of about 1000. 900,
ar area of about 10000 square miles
and a great stretch of sea coast on the
Atlantic and Pacific. and the site OF the
Nicaragua canal, through which COM
merce will ultimately pass from ocean
to ocean.
The general character Of the new
government is shown in a communica-
ton received by Mr.. Corea by the gen.
eral assembly secretary. II states the
capital Is temporarily located at Anna
pala. on Tigre island. lying In the gulf
OF Fonseca. The capital will remain
here until the congress of the new re-
public selects a permanent site for IL.
The constitution provides for a presi-
dent. elected for four years by the d.
rect vote of the people, with a provision
against immediate reelection. The
president is made the commander-in-
chief of the army and navy, and his
functions are much the same as those
of the president OF the United States.
The inauguration of the president Is
fixed for March Is next. Meantime the
executive power viii be directed by a
council of three, elected by the general
assembly. The presidential election
occurs the first Sunday in December,
and at the same time representatives
to the new house of representatives
Will be elected. The legislative power
Is given to a congress of two houses,
the senate being made up Of six n
tors from each state and three from
the federal district. while the house of
representatives has n representative
from zach $4,000 inhabitants.
The federal judiciary provided by the
constitution is patterned after the sys-
TEN of the United States, and. indeed,
throughout the constitution there Is a
close resemblance to the systems In
this country. The governments of Mic
aragua, Salvador and Honduras be-
come states. their presidents giving
way to governors.
