Stocks-There is a certain contingent
OF stock exchange spectators who base
their ventures of the day on the ten
dency of prices displayed at the imme-
diate opening of the market. To-day's
initial trading gave promise of an ac-
tive and strong market and these symp-
toms accordingly induced some outside
orders, but there was weakness in the
afternoon. The early demand was
stimulated by the decided strength dis
played by the granger group which was
helped by reputed more favorable eli
matte conditions in the wheat belt and
an encouraging statement by the gov
eminent of the general crop conditions.
These circumstances caused relapse
in wheat, which were also influenced
by heaviness in Liverpool. Interest

of the issues became prominent par

AN EGYPTIAN ARMY GUIDE.
Arab Who Proved of Much Help to the
British Campaigners.

Our usual guide in the Gakdul
country was a merry little fellow
called Zeki, very unlike the taciturn
Arabs one generally met. He had
been one of the two Arabs who had
helped Slatin Pasha to escape from
Omdurman, and he told me that he
was afterwards seized, taken in chains
before the khalifa, and charged with
the heinous offense. Zeki put ON an
air of extreme simplicity; pretended
to be more than half a fool; said that
he might have been given a dollar
for getting some stranger a camel,
but that he had forgotten; that he
was poor man, and a dollar was a
dollar, and so on. The khalifa was
completely imposed upon by these
ingenious tactics, and said: "This
man is an idiot" and let him go,
Zeki had lost his wife and children
killed by the dervishes-and had
sworn a vendetta against them.
When / first knew him he had Just
married again, and had established
his bride in some remote valley in the
Gillif hills; so, when we were out in
that direction, he generally asked for
a few hours leave of absence, and
used to trot off on his camel to visit
her.-Cornhill.

The Turkey Crop.

beginning to attract attention, as it il

and more numerous than for many
years before. 1t is estimat d that the
crop in this section is at least 80 per
cent larger than the crop of last year,

CHILD GROWTH.

Growth focuses for time upon one
set Of organs or functions, then upon
another, until the whole body is de-
veloped; but all parts of the body dc
not grow at one and the same time.
The body grows first in length, and
then in girth, in breadth and depth.
of chest, in breadth and height of
forehead, in breadth and length of
face
To make special application Of
this well-known fact of periodicity
in physical growth, let us observe
the development of the muscles of
the arm. The muscles Of the up
per arm-those concerned in the
functioning Of the shoulder joint
are ripe and ready for training at
least II years before the muscles of
thefngers. The muscles of the shout
der mature for training six months
before the muscles Of the elbow, and
these in turn five to eight months be-
for the muscles of the wrist, which
are ripe and ready for training from
three to six months before the mus
Giles of the fingers. When we insist
that child shall begin to write by
means of the finger muscles only with
a small pencil in narrow spaces ON
ruled paper or slate we run directly
counter to the principles of growth
and development that nature has so
plainly written in his constitution.
Must not education, to be education
at all, be in accord with these prin-
ciples rather than in opposition to
them? The child of six years, during
the first days of his school life,
chooses to make large, whole-arm
movements of the finger muscles. At
first he requires "almost an acre" of
blackboard space in which to write a
few sentences. We must train the
large shoulder muscles before at
tempting to burden the tender, un-
developed finger muscles, which are
really injured by such too early strain
and involved activity.
Thus we find in our best regulated
kindergartens of to-day none of the |
finer work for the younger children.
The young child is no longer required
to take up the bead-stringing and
pin-pricking exercises-at least not |
until his eyes and his finger muscles
are ripe and ready for such training. .
In some of the most modern kinder
gartens the occupations and gifts are
concerned with larger objects instead
Of those formerly used, which were
Of the smaller, more orthodox size
larger blocks, larger pencils, larger
needles, larger beads and coarse
string instead of fine thread.-Fo-
