How to Quiet a Child.

.L
A little girl frequently fancied she
saw bears and tigers whenever she hap
pened to awake in the night. Presuma-
bly, she dreamed of some danger. may
be on account of having eaten too much
for supper or having eaten the wrong
kind Of food. At any rate, she frequent
II awoke crying in the night, and in
her fear interpreted the dim outlines of
q dress or a curtain as a fearful beast
that was about to attack her. The best
thing to do is to deal tenderly with such
fancies and remove the child as far as
possible from the object that has caused
her excitement.
Then, if you can do SO without dis
turbing the other children, light the lamp
and let the light fall full on the thing
that has given rise to her fear. Be slow.
and express your opinion first as a kind
of preliminary assumption that the bear
may after all be mammals skirt or the
curtain moving in the draft. and when
this comforting probability is under
stood follow up your advantage and de-
clare it to be a good joke that . harm
less piece Of cloth should look like a fear
full animal. Make the child smile at the
incongruity Of her fancy. and her laugh
will cur the horror of the dream and
dispel the nightmare as sunshine dis
solves the mist.-Arena.

Luxury. Right or Wrong.

Discussing the right or wrong Of
luxury in The North American Review.
Professor F. Spencer Baldwin. a Boston
university authority on economics.
comes to these conclusions:
There are justifiable and there are
unjustifiable luxuries.
SIN general it may be laid down that
a luxury which contributes to the eff
cheney of the individual in the widest
sense and which does not impose on So
ciety for the satisfaction Of it's demands
an unwholesome and degrading form of
labor is perfectly justifiable.
This sanction of luxury is not to be
stretched to cover unlimited self in
diligence. The part played by rational
self sacrifice in the development Of char
acter is not to be overlooked. Constant
self indulgence is demoralizing.
But in general d man has Alright to
spend money for anything that enriches
and diversifies his life. and thus aids in
the developing and rounding out Of his
personality. provided the labor that is
required for the production of the arti-
cles in question be agreeable and innoc-
uous.
ION the other hand, a luxury that de-
moralizes the individual or calls for a
n~oxious form Of labor is unjustifable. !

Elephant Hunting In Nubia.

When the elephant is pursued on foot,
it is invariably sought in the depths Of
the forest. where it has retired for shell
ter from the MONDAY sun and also for
the short repose it takes during the "a
hours. The hunter. having tracked his
quarry to it's retreat. is obliged to use
the utmost stealth in approaching it.
the elephant being a very light sleeper
and awakened by the slightest unusual
sound.
The difficulty Of moving through a
dense. thorny jungle without making
any sound dissimilar to those which
might be produced by nature. such as
the stirring of the branches by a light
breeze or the occasional falling of a
dead leaf. is greater than can be realized
by any one who has not tried it.
On getting within arms length of his
game the swordsman slowly raises him
self to an erect position and deals a
slashing cut on the back sinews of the
nearest foot about ten inches from the
ground, at the same time leaping MIN
bly, back to avoid a blow from the ami
mails trunk. The cut, if properly deliv-
cred. bites sheer to the bone, severing
the large arteries. and in a short time
death ensues from hemorrhage. -Har-

At one time, when two Cheyennes got
to gambling. one lost, and luck seemed
to be against him. After he had lost
every piece Of property he had, in des-
peration he put up his sister and lost
her. This aroused great indignation
through the tribe. but no one intimat-
ed that the unfortunate girl should not
60 and live as the wife of the man who
had won her in a game of cards.
Over 20 years ago the writer was SUI
p~erintendent of the Arapahoe Indian
school at Darlington during a period of
five years. During this time not less
than four young Indian women came
to the school, asking admittance and
protection from marriage that was
about to be forced upon them. The pro-
lection was given. and the young wo-
men afterward married according to
their own choice. Since then these
tribes have been gradually breaking
away from their original customs until
now they + married with the lawful
marriage rites. Southern Workman
