4 Word About the children.

The Importance of obedience In chill
dren has been greatly Overestimated
So far as this life is convened, only
the most extravagant optimist would
hold that the average child owed any
debt OF gratitude for having been
brought into the world. If the parent
desires to train his child for meni;.i
employment, then the insistence on.
obedience for its own sake is at leau}
logical; but Is the welfare of the aver
age American boy or girl best serves
by cultivating a spirit of unQuestioH-
stronger will? Or is the best kind OF
citizenship produced by such training?
The boy who has been trained to obey
his father simply because of the fact
of parentage often proves to be the
most manageable when hs is under
the temporary care OF adults whose
right OF "bosslng" him he does not
recognize On the other hand, the
child who has been governed by laws
which he understands and who has
grown to regard his parents as his
older and wiser friends is apt to be
docile when in the care of strangers.
and to accept as an obvious necessity
a temporary dictatorship without ex-

Rapid Test SoundlnPs.

IN the course OF the building OF an
arch bridge for a European railway
line. 1t became necessary TO level and
clear a track along the bottom OF
river for a considerable distance. An
ingenious method OF doing this was
adopted. a heavy iron bar was sus-
pended by ropes and chains attached
10 either end and fastened 10 two boats
built on the catamaran principle, the
supports coming up between the two
sections of the catamaran. An cleo
trio device was connected with the bar.
which was lowered until it touched the
river bed. The boats were moved
slowly forward. Whenever the bar
struck an obstruction which threw It
off from the horizontal, the electric
bell gave warning; then. by means of
sounding poles, the obstruction was 10
Gated, when it was easily removed.
This method was continued until a
path twenty feet wide, and the full
length of the space required. was clear

But this haste Is incomprehensi-

curled in a smile OF cutting sarcasm.

"Certainly-if God so wills"
The tone was SO peculiar that even
unsuspicious Mr.. Thompson noticed
it.

asked.

The mansion OF Springfield was now
visible in the distance; they were al

The justice of the peace availed him

Mr.. Harrison's wealth, discussed the
possible losses which the war might
infiict upon his property and express

his fortune was invested elsewhere.
The doctor listened attentlvely, but
this did not prevent his scanning the
vicinity still more closely than be

bend in the road. every distant land
mark upon his memory, and the house

How to Clean Ribbons.

Now that ribbons are so extensively
worn 1t is quite worth while to know
now TO clean them successfully and
easily. The two methods here given
have been put to the practical test
many times over, so there need be no
heSitancy about trying either one
through fear OF failure or of unsatis-
factory results. The first method is
exceedingly simple. and answers the
purpose for all except white Gibbons
or those that are very badly mussed.

because of the danger Of its ignitirg.
The gasoline will turn white ribbons

for them. Ii also leaves the ribbons In
the same condition as il found them
as regards their being mussed or crun,-

should be given the treatment that Is
accorded the white ribons. Prepare

VOTING PLACES III PRUSSIA.
Beer Halls Chosen for tho Purpose of
Holding Elections


The practice in Prussian cities re-
garding the selection of voting places
is in direct contradiction ID American
usage, says Municipal Affairs. Instead
of closing all places where intoxicants
are sold on election day, it is precisely
the beSt-known and most popular beer
lokals that are chosen for the purpose
of holding elections. The halls which
are commonly maintained in such
places to be used for all sorts OF social
gatherings are well known in the
neighbCrhood, they form ideal places
for holding an election. LIQUORS are
not sold in the room in which the yot-
ing takes place, but may be freely
drunk there Indeed, il is a very ex
ceptonal election judge who does not
have capacious krug on the table be-
fore him, from which he occasionally
quenches his thirst while the tedious
process Of balloting is going on. A
very considerable economy is effected
by holding elections in such places, as
rent IS either not charged ct all or else
is fixed ut nominal sum by the pro-
prietor. who expects to be reimbursed
through the purchases of those who
visit the polls. Any unusual amount
