STUDY WHAT YOU AFFECT.
A Word of Advice to Parents Regard
ing the Education of
Children.

Scientists now acknowledge that
education has most effect upon medi-
OGRE minds. 1t can do grea t deal wit IA
them, less for those that are defective
and still less for those highly endowed;
for talented persons, even though
they may receive al the usual courses
of intellectual training, usually edu-
cate themselves. They gain their most
valuable education through the eXer-
else of their strongest faculties. Work
is their tutor and self-direction their
college, says Florence Hull Winter
burn, in Woman's Home Companion.
Parents and tutors need to have a
care that their efforts to be helpful to
children do not interfere with the ma
tural development of their faculties.
This is sometimes done through not
recognizing their special abilities.
quite frequently from wish TO fix
their destinies in accordance with
some conventional standard. We
should study the individuality of Our
child from his birth, so that we may
avoid a wasteful employment of his en-
ergies in pursuits that are alien to his
disposition and foreign to his needs.

To Serve Watermelon.

Some hostesses are serving water
melon this season in fanciful designs.
The melons have been on ice for sew
eral days, and are cut 1engthwise in
deep scallops or points, so that each
section for person looks like small
canoe. When the two halves have
been deeply notched and placed side
by side on large hand-painted plat
ter, with crushed ice filing the center,
the melons have the appearance of
huge flowers. Some young hosts are
making a speciality Ito please their
wives) of ingeniously cutting the
watermelons to represent the petals
of orchids and various flowers. The
hostess has in that event had her ia BILE
decorations of orchids or the blooms
decided upon. Some persons make a
good-sized incision in large water
melon and pour therein a bottle Of
champagne. After the melon has been
again on the ice for three hours the
champagne is drained off and the flavor
of the melon is delicious.-Cincinnat
enquirer.

terial, and we shall take in honest real
estate men, though it is hard to find
honest men among them.
"In order to be admitted to full
membership a man must be a Chris
tian, but we will take others on proba-
ton. We shall have devotional meet
ings at the churches from time to
time, and we purpose organizing a
Catholic branch for the benefit of
members of that church, several of
whom have asked to join. AS all men,
bers will be Christians, business will
be done on the Christian policy of live
and let live. There will be no strikes
or lockouts, for if employer and en-
ploye can't agree they will go their
separate ways. Every member must
sign pledge promising not to touch,
taste or handle any intoxicating liquor
while member of the organization.
We believe liquor to be the cause of
many evils, especially among working
men, and we intend to fight it all along
the line. We shall also discourage the
use of tobacco, and members are ex-
pected to abstain from profanity.
You ask how our union is going to
help its members in a material way?
Well, here is printed list of the men,
bers just issued. 1t contains all tLeir
names and addresses, classified by
trades, and contractors are indicated
by stars, This directory will be issued
from time to time and will be an i'm
portant feature of the organization
We expect members to help their fell
lows. Christian contractors will nat
urally prefer to employ Christian
men. On the other hand, laboring men
can apply to these contractors with
the assurance of receiving Christian
treatment. Members are expected to
aid each other in finding employment
If one of them hears Of an open job he
| will notify some friend in the union
who may be in need of work. In other
words, the union will run on the prin-
ciple of cooperation and Christian
helpfulness. When we are thoroughly
organized we believe it win be possible
to put up a building without the labor
disturbances now so common.
Mr.. Berck has been chosen president
of the union. The vice president is c..
D. Hill, a contracting painter at 274
Claremont avenue. The secretary is
Frank Marshall, a carpenter at Har-
vey, and he has an assistant in the per-
son of w. I. Hart, cabinet maker at
Wrightwood and Ayers avenues. The
treasurer is Richard Oates, car
penter living at 295 Campbell avenue.

DIsBANDING A GREAT ARMY.
Retirement of United States Troops
That Served in the Philippine
Islands.

An important event in the history OF
the United States was the sailing from
Manila of the transport fitzpatrick
with the SO officers and the lob men
of the Firty-third regiment, United
States volunteer infantry, in time to
enable the war department to carry
out the provisions of the law which
called for the mastering out of all vol
unteer troops by June 30, 1901. This
was the last regiment to be disband-
ed says the Philadelphia Saturday
Evening Post.
BY act of March ., 1899, the army was
reorga nized on the basis of $1,000 en-
listed men and $4,000 volunteers, vol
unteer service being for term of two
years and four months, or until July
I. 1901. There was no trouble in get
ting enough men. The enlistments
showed what has been claimed by our
sanest patriots, that when the nation
needs help it can obtain all it wants
for the asking. The American sol
der is the best treated, the best paid.
the best fed of any fighters the world
has ever known. The consequence is
higher standard of intelligence, con-
duct and efficiency than in any other
army. Whatever may be the fears of
other peoples the United States is able
to take care of itself, for it has been
calculated by political economists that
if necessity should arise this country
could arm, equip and keep in the
cid 10 600 600 SDl6iprS
The volunteer force of $4,000, which
is now no more, was nearly 10000
larger than the whole American army
before the outbreak of the war with
Spain, and many of the men have en-
listed in the regular establishment and
will continue to serve their country
for years to come. 1t is decidedly dan
gerous to make comparisons between
volunteers and regulars. but there is
glory enough for all. This was Illus
trated in the opera tons against San
tiago from June . to July II, 1898, for
it was only three years ago when our
men of the Fifth corps were winning
the fight with Spain. The corps were
500 officers and 17,349 men, and the cas-
ualties in all the engag ementl num-
bered 1,6SS of which 1.417 were among
the 1927 regulars and 271 among the
4,941 volunteers present for duty.

ITS AIMS ARE NOBLE.
Plan of the Christian Builders
Union of Chicago.
Would Restore Harmony Between
Capital and Labor by Making the
Golden Rule the Guide of
Every TranSactiOn.

If the Christian Builders union
succeeds in its purpose the time will
come when there will be neither la
Dor unions, strikes nor lock-outs.
Every man in the building trades will
be a teetotaler and a Christian gen.
tleman. 1t is hardly expected that
buildings will be erected in Chicago
to an accompaniment of prayer and
psalm singing, but there will certain
ly be praise and Thanksgiving if the
new organization accomplishes its
aim. If employers and employees
have differences they will apply the
good old golden rule, and strive with
good will and mediation to reach
just solution of their difficulties.
Il found l had to quit either my
church or the union" said Henry p.
Berck, contracting carpenter at
1850 West Harrison street, Chicago,
who has been the prime mover in the
new organization. AT the union
meetings many of the men cursed
and t1ourished revolvers, and as
Christian man l concluded it was
time for me to get out. | noticed
also that the old unions worked
against each other, and that many of
the members were addicted to drink,
which is the great curse of mankind.
1t seemed to me that it was time
Christian workingmen got together to
form an organization and do business
on Christian principles.
"Our union started with 60 charter
members, and we have many applica-
tons from men in all parts of Chicago,
and even from other states. Our or
ganization does not attempt to fix a
scale of wages, and it is wholly differ
ent from the old unions. 1t takes in
employers as well as wage workers.

spectacle houses have been erected

A criminal dislikes nothing more than

"The most beneficial results, how.
ever, have been due to the introduc-
ton of the patrol system. Officers no
longer are obliged to drag their pris-
oners through the streets, and prop
erty is not left unprotected while a
policeman takes his prisoner to the
station. The patrol wagon does this.
Then the rough element knows that
an officer can have a whole platoon
of policemen to aid him at a mo-
ment's notice by simply running to
his box and sounding the alarm. The
superintendent allows officers to
double or travel in pairs through
those localities where quarrelers or
