Tae Danger of License.

Too much license is as bad for a child
as is too much control. The forme" de-
velops a weak waywardness which I'M
fits the child for cooperation and COM
radeship in the worlds work. The lar
ter SuppreSSes him and dwarfs the.
growth of that originality by which he is
to add his atom of enrichment to the
worlds advancement.
The right study of the will power in its
unfolding from mere desire to rational
choice, helps us to avoid the Scylla of
undue authority on the one hand. and
the Chanybdis of undue license on the
other hand. Perhaps an anecdote will
best illustrate this point. The story was
told me by a young Englishman who
was visiting his brother who had married
an American woman, well versed in the
kindergarten psychology.
The first evening after my arrival -
he began, my little niece of 6 was veXed
by some necessary thwarting of her de
sires, and thereupon she set up q lusty
bawl. My sister-in-law said, without
the slightest tone of disturbance in her
voice:
Charlotte, your noise is disturbing
the rest of us. You must either stop
bawling or go upstairs to the nursery,
where you can be by yourself
The child kept on screaming, and
much to my amaZement, my sister-in-law
quietly took out her watch, and said, L
will give you just two minutes in which
to decide whether you will cease crying
and remain with us, or go to the nusery'
'She stood perfectly STILL" he contin-
ued admiringly, holding her watch in
her hand; at the end of the two minutes,
she said, Your two minutes are up. You
have made your choice and with a
slight wave of her hand she pointed to
the door, The youngster deliberately
turned around and walked out of the
room and up the stairs toward the nurs-
cry, still bawling. / turned in my aston
ishment to my newly found sister, and
said, How in the world did you make
her do it| And she answered, My
Kindergarten training taught me to treat
my children as rational beings, with
wills that must be respected as we'll as
trained. | gave her her choice. She
went of her own free will to the nursery
and vet she obeyed the laws of society
She does not feel that she has been UNI
justly treated. She will the sooOner con-
quer herself and come back and sure
enough. in less than ten minutes back
came the little miss as sweet and gra-
ciOus as if nothing had happened"
He had told the story laughingly, but
when ended, his tone changed, as he
added, IF that is the way all American
mothers teach their children self-control.
your republican government is on sure
foundationw And yet that mother had
merely used her knowledge of the
psychological unfolding Of the will as n
physician would have used his scientific
knowledge of the treatment needed By
a fever brought on by Indigestion.

LONDON Women's Heroic
Efforts 10 Become Slim.

a London physician has fitted up 4

somersaults taken for a stated time each
day on padded floor.
This IS perhaps the most violent meas
ure yet adopted by women in their nj
tempt to reduce flesh.
1t is so severe that very few American
doctors will recommend it, especially for
stout women.
Gentle and continued exercise is +bo
method for getting rid of flesh, the time
being increased each day. The new
game, ping-pong. is capital way in
which to gradually get rid of surplus
flesh.

fashionable women of Philadelphia for

derful results. approves of ping-pOng
Simple methods are always best in
these matters" he said. land the game
is an enjoyable one and is not hurtful in
any way.
The reduction method of somersault-
ing would, on the other hand, be ex-
tremely injurious to many women, espe-
cially to those inclined to fairness.
Reduction should be attempted only
under the advice of a physician, except
i'll the case of Il person who thoroughly
understands the dangers of OVERRIDING.

TWO GREAT CITIES.
Sydney TO Ontstrip Melbourne and Be.
come Austrnlia's Metropolis.

sydney TO Outstrip Melbourne and Be-
come Austrnlia's Metropolis.
Melbourne has always been the largest
city of Australia. In it's phenomenal
growth IT can be compared only with
Chicago and San Francisco. In 1875
1t had name and fourteen inhabitants.
III lS96 il contained 45l 900 persons.
Gold made Melbourne. For ten con
secutive years the gold mines from sixty
to one hundred miles to the north and
northwest produced over $4,000. 900 OF
| gold every year The many thousands
| of men required to mine this treasure
| bought their supplies in Melbourne and
! spent their money there The city faced
to the north where the mines were; its
! back door was on the sea.
But the gold mines of Victoria have
lost their old Importance. They are still
productive, but their yield is far inferior
TO that of the desert mines of western
Australia. Melbourne is slowly losing
the largest resource that made her great.
and the wool aud wheat trade is not
likely to fully compensate her for the
declining mining interests, The city was
said in 1891 to have 19O,S9G population,
intending the suburbs. Five years later
only 1000 persons were counted in
the city and its envrons.
The decline in population is probably
only temporary, for Victoria is very
rich little state. Many miners have been
drawn away by more lattering prospects
elsewhere. but they will gradually be
replaced by permanent settlers
The great city, however, seems
destined soon to lose it's prc-eminencc.
Sydney is steadily increasing in pnpula-
ton; by the last census it was only H.
600 under Melhournes figures Sydney
is growing. while Melbourne is scarcely
holding her own. There are n number
of reasons why Sydney will probably
forge ahead and permanently maintain
