MOTOR TYPE OF CHILDREN.
Discussed by Miss Backus Before
Mothers Glass.

At the second meeting of the Glass in
Child Study yesterday morning at the
Philbrick Kindergarten, Miss Backus took
as her topic The Motor Type of Child"
The type is a very unusual one. and
means that the child has not only the
ordinary activity common to all young
children, but that all his ideas tend to
overflow into action without any count
of the cost or result. Motor children act
upon every suggestion; they are dominat-
ed by habit, and are prone to jump at
conclusions. They are usually very alert
and active mentally and physically-love
to "show off"-are natural leaders, and
are inclined to be self-conscious and con-
ceited.
After defining this type carefully, Miss
Backus read some of Prof. Mark j. Bald
wins advice to teachers and mothers as
to the best method OF dealing with these
"highly suggestible" children, and other
methods for younger children were dis
cussed generally by the class. The motor
type of child should be governed by sug-
gestion, not by direct control" To say
Don't shuttle your feet to such child
simply fixes his attention on his feet and
makes it physically impossible for him to
control them; but to tell him something
else to do averts all trouble. This type
of child should be given plenty OF man
ual work, varying with his age and de-
velopment. Miss Ponkson's Finger Play
Book was recommended for very little
children, and then any constructive work
that requires slow, pains taking, accurate
work.
The motor child is a great generalzer,
and at home and at school he should be
taught the value of close observation One
way to correct the tendencies that are
not good is to praise the work done by
slower children, and never at home or at
school bring forward the quick child as
"show child" OF all methods this Is the
worst that can be used for this child.
Highly spiced food, or too many sweets,
or pickles, are especially unwholesome for
the excitable child, as he should have no
physical disturbances to react upon his
mental instability. His attention should
be made more and more a question of
will power by giving him tasks as diff
cult and as intricate as any he can cope
with.
Some very practical discussions followed
as to the question of Suggestion and
direct control in the management OF
children, and the lesson closed. On Mon
day the subject will be THE Passive or
Illusory Type of Child"
1t is a very encouraging fact that the
class of this year is already larger than
that of last year, and as new names are
handed in at each class, 1t is hoped that
a great many mothers will show that they
wish to add training and insight 20 the
instruction already developed Visitors
are welcome to any one class, after which
they may join for the course of which
there are still ten or perhaps eleven les
sons.

Among the British peers Is Barnaby
Fitzpatrick, Lord Castledown. The power
ana affluence which Lord Castledown's
family have enjoyed for centuries is due
almost entirely to the fact that one OF
their ancestors was whipping boy to
Edward VI. In the days when Henry VIII
was having his son Edward educated 1t
was not considered seemly for a royal
prince 10 be logged. But a pr nee of the
blood was as likely to need a good whip
ping as any other boy. so whipping

ton which the prince incurred by his
misdeeds.

only partially submltted-to the British

Businesses of what is now called the
Queens country in Ireland. His son,
Barnaby Fitz-Patrick, had been caught
young" and was held al the British court
as a sort of hostage for his fathers good
behavior.
Young Barnaby was made whipping
boy" to Prince Edward and completely
gained the good will and affection OF that
royal youth. The Fitz-Patricks might
have gone the way of many other Irish
chiefs had 1t not been for the favor of
Edward, who. when he came to tho
throne, bestowed upon Barnaby estates
and houors. From Barnaby, the whip

ent Lord Castledown.
Two other noble families of England
have a whipping boy on their family trees.
The earl OF Dysart is directly and the
earl of Lauderdale collaterally descended
from VIII Murray, who was whipping
boy to Charles ! when that monarch was
Prince of Wales. The fiogglngs which
VIII Murray received for his royal mas

came to the throne he made the son of

him with valuable estates. viii Murray

CATARRH OF THE ST0M-
ACH.
A Pleasant, simple, but Safe and
ERectuaI Cure for u.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings, a
lorna ton of gases, causing pressure on
the heart and lungs and difficult breath
ing headaches, tickle appetite, nervous
ness and a general played out, languld
feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue and If the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show A
Shiny infiamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble Is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before 1t has time to ferment ana
irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of
the stomach. To secure a prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
end best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of Diastase. Asep-
tie Pepsln. a little Nux, Golden Seal and
fruit acids. These tablets can now be
found al all drug stores under the name

EFFIGIES OF DEAD MONAHCHs.
They Originally Took the Place Of
Corpses Lying I'm state.

From the London Mail.
Sightseers in Westminster Abbey were
until few years ago shown the famous
wax effigies of Queen Elizabeth, Queen
Anne, King William of Orange and his
wife Queen Mary. and many other dis
tinguished persons. These Were funeral
efIigies, models of deceased monarchs
that figured most prominently and sig
nihcantly in the pageants and process
sions that preceded their burial.
In very early Saxon and Norman times
when Kings We're sometimes spirited
away" and for political purposes tmock
funerals would have been arranged had
not very stringent means been taken to
prevent such frauds, to convince the peo-
pie of the demise of the Crown the dead
monarchs body was embalmed, dressed
in it's most costly robes, and having been
exhibited lying in state, was finally car
ried ON an open bier in the sight OF all
to its last resting place. An old chroni-
cler describes che cerements of King
Henry II, most infinitely, and says that
he was clothed lin Royal Robes, his
Crown upon his Head. white gloves upon
his Hands, Boots of Gold upon his Legs.
gilt Spurs upon his Heels, a great rich
ring upon his Finger, his Scepter in his
Face uncovered and all bare"
Later the custom and its primary in
ceptions declined, but 1t did so, after
the manner of all funereal practices, very
slowy and gradually. While lying in state
continued and the face of the dead was
still permitted to be visible, effgies were
prepared to simulate the body upon the
bier in the final public procession. The
figure made represented the departed
monarch as closely as possible, and was
dressed i'm the actual robes of the de-
parted. The face was carved in wood I'M
til wax modelling came into vogue, and
was found to be more like reality, and
until the custom was absolutely aban-
doned wax was used.
A high bier was provided for the effigy
to rest upon, so that those who stood in
the streets could see the face of the de-
parted, as we'll as those who crowded the
windows. In course of time the exhibit
ton as was only to be expected, became
unseemly both on account of It's essen
tial tawdriness and of the behavior of
the crowds who used to watch the pro-
cession. When the practice was finally
dropped such Of the waxen effigies as had
withstood the attacks of time continued
to be exhibited for a price IN Westmin-
ster Abbey, where some of them remain
to this day locked away in dusty recep-
tacles. They are still visible to those who
obtain special permission to view them,
but were withdrawn from public exhibit
ton because they aroused amusement
rather than the solemn feeling they de-
served. The withdrawal from public view
is perhaps the best thing that could have
happened to them.

AT THE THEATER.

Hrrmann, the magician, entertained two
audiences at the Theater yesterday, after
noon and night. This is Herrmanns sec
Ond visit to Savannah this season, as he
played an engagement here in the early
fall. He is certainly clever at sleight of
hand work and feats OF legerdemain, and
all Of his tricks are entertaining, many Of
them being extremely good.
He initiates as much as possible the
mlnnerisms of the e.der Hermann, who
Was his uncle, and in appearance he is
not unlike him, but as an entertainer he
lacks that fascinating manner which the
he magician possessed.
