Sent to School too Early.

There is class of children who suffer
from overworked brains who have no
right to suffer. We refer to children I'M
der years Of age, whose parents under
ht fn thn od Tine tma aa shon Tt
getting the child to school. The brighter
the child the harder he is pushed. Dur
ing the first seven years of life the brain
develops very fast. All that is done to
crowd it during this time is done to the
child's disadvantages. During this period
attention should be given to developing
a good constitution, remembering that
the brain will go forward fast enough
after that age.
Parents make a mistake if they send
their children to school before they are
years of age (unless, perhaps, to the
kindergarten. There is no doubt about
this. All psychologists agree on this
point, and there is no sound argument
against it.-New York Telegram.

Rich Parents at Fau1t.

The extravagant theory of the young
people as to the necessity for keeping
up a certain style is the reason why so
many Of them put off marriage year af-
ter year, and finally drift into the ire
mediable stage of celibacy. Gifts with
out fortunes are supported in idleneSS
and luxury by over-indulgent parents
and expected to be thus cared for after
marriage. The annual cost of such a
girls maintenance is more than the in
come of young man unless he be ex-
ceptionally fortunate.
The fault lies with parents. Unless
they are prepared to give fortune
with daughter when she marries, they
have no moral right to make her unfit
for the position of wife in the home of
a young man who has his fortune to
make. And this is not trivial mistake,
for it is a great and increasing source
of personal unhappiness, and it inevita-
bly, promotes immortality.
Instead of thousands of bachelors and
spinsters i'll boarding houses in our
cities, there should be thousands of
modest homes, in which young married
couples would be helping each other to
real lie the dreams of their youth The
old-fashioned virtue, thrift, domestic
economy, saving up for rainy day,
needs revival, not especially in the
homes of the very poor, but in those
who have fair incomes and whose am
bition to make show prompts them to
adopt the habits and ape the ways Of
the very rich.-Washington Post.

out no response from the American man.
ufacturers. A New York firm put these
on the market last year, and this defer
ence to the taste of well-dressed men
mot with immense success. 1t is said
that on one Saturday 1000 hats were
sold. This was the result of giving men
what they wanted instead Of designing
all sorts of fantastic shapes merely for
considered novelties" in the trade. This
summer practically the same hat will
be made. The quality of the straw
will be rougher than it was in the past.
Colored hatbands will be worn only when
they have certain significance. Golf
and hunting clubs now are nearly all
represented by their special colors, and
it is to these that well-dressed men will
practically confinc their hatbands when
they are anything else than black.

A promising young soubrette made the
hit Of the show at one of the theaters
the other night. One admirer, who has
persistently annoyed her, threw her a
dozen American Beauties from a box.
She threw them back. The youth re-
turned them, and she tore them up and
stamped OH them. Later the same adj
mirer passed over the footlights his bou-
tonniere. This was too much: so the
soubrette stepped over the footlights,
reached into the box and contributed a
bloom to the. "Johnnie's' cheek with the
aid of a real hard smack. The applause
was righteously riotous.

The strip of turf between the Manhattan

the course. which will also include the

The hazards will have to be trap bunkers.

THE PHILIPPINE PORTS.
An Order Opening Them Issued b!
Secretary Root.

As the result OF discussion by the
Cabinet last week the Secretary of War,
acting upon Instructions from the Presi-
dent. has ordered the ports in the Philip
pines to be opened as rapidly as possible.
There is a great demand just now for the
products OF the Philippines. especially for
hemp and the natives will be given every
assistance in getting their crops to the
markets.
1t is thought by the War Department of
ficials that about 20. 900 troops can soon be
spared from the military operations for
duty around the ports to be opened. Gen.
eral Grant is at Subig Bay, and the ports
there, it is believed, will soon be opened.
Dagupan. on the railroad to Manila and
Vigan are already occupied and troops are
socn expected at Aparri. Zamboanga, the
chief port of Mindanao is under control
of the navy. In very short time at least
half a dozen ports besides Manila will be
open to vessels to be loaded with products
of the islands.
Recent reports show that during the five
months of military control Of the port OF
Cebu, the exports amounted in value to
81, ,104. .s15, Of which $737, ,4O6 was hemp. The
duties amounted to $42,l59. Exports from
Manila during August and September
amounted in value to 81. As. .635. and the du-
ties collected, amounted to So. 1856.

VICTIM OF A MAN TRAP.
An American Soldier Injured In
Filipino PitfaIl.

An American Soldier Injured In q
Filipino PitfaIl.
Private Peter Karl, Of the Nineteenth
Infantry. now in the Philippines, was re-
Gently injured in one Of the man traps set
by the Tagals to catch the American SOL
diers. Reports received by the War De-
partment state that the natives dig deep
holes along the trails, fill them with sharp
ened bamboo sticks. and cover them with
grass.
These pitfalls are frequently dug in front
of the insurgents trenches and when the
American soldiers charge the natives they
have to pass over them. On October %
forty-five men of the Nineteenth Infantry
charged an insurgent trench and Karl fell
into one of the pitfalls, his leg and foot
being badly lacerated.
