4 timid child cries when he is put to bed, because he is afraid of the dark. The @soft-hearted'' parent stays with him simply because he realizes that the child is passing through a phase of race development. in which his imagination has the best of him out of demonology. because his log ical faculties are not developed, After all, these two parents, wide apart in point of view, act much the same, and very different from the pseudO-scien- life parent, who acts from dogmatic conviction and is sure he is right. He talks of developing his childs self respect and good sense. and leaves him to cry himself to sleep, demand ing powers of self-control and devel- opment which the child does not pos

There are at least two Ia nous English authoresses today who ilVe-and entirely by their own exer- tions-like the wives of peers. They have town and country mansions; they go to Italy, to Egypt to Japan, when the fancy takes them; they drive the most showy horses; they entertain like south African millionaires.

Five-rointed woman.s Club.

This city has a variety of clubs for women, but there is still room for one like that which has been special suc-. cess in Boston. It is called the Penta- gon. The origin of the name is traced to the fact that its roll Is made up from members of five professionalism lawyers, ministers, teachers and jour nalists. Another feature of this organ ization which will at once commend it. self to many of those who have had experience in the field here is that it has no constitution and no officers. There is a meeting held once montn, at which the members dine together and have jolly good time. Probably We can improve and elaborate the idea, but it seems to have self-eyident ele- ments of popularity that are not yet too widely known.

San Francisco Bulletin: There is no singer in the world who can draw more than $12.000 house. There is no ora tor who can much raise the s1 admis- sion fee without exposing himself to the danger of speaking to empty benches. If the four most popular de- baters selected by popular vote would advertise a discussion on any question of the day they would be fortunate if an audience could be gathered which would net each $100O Yet it is stated that there was $S0,O0O in the box office of the Coney Island Clubhouse on the night when Robert Fitzsimmons and James Jeffries met to see which could punch the other harder. and which could stand the most punishment.
