About Disrespectful Childr. IN.

\ German professor travelling in
America recently has made some pointed
statements concerning American chill
dren. He is fascinated by the Ameri-
can woman and shocked by the Ameri-
can child. who is pert, ill-mannered and
dlSreSpectful as rule. The fault of
this. he says, lies at the parents
doors. They oyerinduge the children
and spoil them. All day long the father
digs and delves in shop or office and the
mother makes sacrifices that her chill
dren may be educated. Thus in many
cases il comes to be that the children
are better educated and better bred
than their parents, and look down on
their parents as not quite so good as
they.
"Filial respect dies in the child's
breast and selfish pride takes its place.
The mother economies, does her own
washing and turns her OLD gown that
Fanny may have a silk dress and look
like lady, or that Johnny may wear
white shirts every day and belong to
the boys club The father wears
shabby coat in order to save money for
tannys piano lessons, and while the
old folk are drudging the younger are
sitting III the parlor and drifting far
away The parents belittie themselves
in the eyes of the children, who through
false shame at the part they are play
ing become insufferably pert when in

While parts of this criticism are I'M
dnubtedly true, there have been cases
where sons and daughters have been elo-
Guent i'll their gratitude to parents for
sacrifices which made their education
possible. Pert and disrespectful children
may be found in all lands, and are not a
distinctly American product: yet it is
well for the sacrificing mother and ia
Their to stop and think whether the sacri-
fee of the washtub and old clothes is
really making men and women of the
children, or if they are living like selfish
parasites. scorning the hand that deals
generously with them. There is still an
other class of boys and girls children of
American-born parents, who are of I'M

commandment. as we'll as honor the
stranger. 1t is this class of youth thar

TRICKS WITH FLOWERS.
Color Schemes Unknown in the Floral
World Produced by the Use
Of Chemicals.

The chemical expert has by no means
monopoly Of pretty experiments
evolving marvellous color schemes
hitherto unknown in the floral world.
One artist suggests a simple and in
teresting experiment which is espe-
cially successful with pansies, and
which child may easily perform.
A saucer, a little ammonia, flower
or two, and glass tumbler are all the
implements needed to enable one to
present n bunch OF exquisite green
pansies to the uninitiated. Such gift
is sure to awaken much enthusiasm
and test the ability Of the recipient to
take joke, says a New York ex-
change.
The viola tribe is easily influenced
by the application Of chemicals to the
soil or by atmospheric conditions, and
hence is particularly susceptible to the
fumes of ammonia. \ little of the
liquid poured into saucer, with a
bit OF paper laid over it, on which to
rest the flowers, acts very quickly on
the chlorophyll, or coloring matter,
when the fumes the confined by a
tumbler. The reason is this: Chloro-
phyll is in its nature acid. The fumes
of ammonia, on the other hand, are
alkaline, an excess of which first neu-
traliles the acid present in the fresh
flower, and then changes it to an aka
Ii. The effect of the alkah varies, of
course, according to the predominat-
ing color of the subject.
Repeated experiments showa marked
tendency toward green, simply be-
cause purple and blue are standard
culors among violas and are thus af-
fecied, \ few interesting color changes
are: Shaded purple with white edge
is converted into green, with blue vein
ings and yellow border; maroon
striped, dark green ANA blue; pale blue
becomes pale green; white always
takes on a yellow tint, and pretty
cerise comes ont in vivid blue. Yellow
is unaffected.
Sweet peas are also fertile subjects,
and pungent fumes develop the unex-
pected with rapidity that an expert
hyhridizer might envy. Some wonder
ful symphonies in green are evolved
from pink and lavender creations.
Ammonia cannot be said to improve
nasturtiums, but surely produces cu-
rious freaks. Yellow blotched red be-
comes yellow blotcbed bronze green,
and a purely flame red a spotted dark
green.
There is, Of course, no permanency in
colors thus enforced. The most won.
derful symphonies will hold their own
for time, but il placed in water in
the open air they will return 70 nor.
mai coloring in few hours.
