Parental
Obligations I
epDedD1eGDHe6s9eGD9eGDGeedy6D91

Some one has said that thu training
OF child should begin with its grand
parents, which is true in it's way and
yet with irreproachable grandparents
one can never be sure just what devil
Ssh or sanity combinations CT inher-
tied characteristics may crop out in
he child; SO the only practical duty
for the parent is to furnish good
example and environment Heredity
IS not everything, neither is home
training infalllble, as all who have
lived long in this queer world have
had occasion to observe, but yeu can
not have too much Of either. The
Catholic church says; Let me keep
a child until it is seven years old and
| care not who has it after that time"
which is equivalent to an assertion
that those are the years in which tae
deepest, most lasting Impressions ara
made. How important then that home
influences and environment should be
OF the right sort at that critical time.
1t is the busiest time for young moth
ers of families and the time when they
3re most inclined to deny themselves
% their children because Of the pres
sure OF the family sewing or other i'm
Dortant duties. and not only this but
such mothers often d~op all personal
intellectual and social culture. This
should never be if there is any possi-
aillty of avoiding it. Sometimes pow
erty necessitates the concentration of
mothers energies upon the material
problems Of feeding and clothing her
children, but such conditions are much
children to develop a love for reading,
for music, for nature study or any
means of mental culture if the parents
manifest 10 interest in such things?
How can the children learn to properly
conduct themselves in society or con-
tribute to the social enjoyment of 9TH
ers ii the parents never entertain or
give their boys and girls training In
that direction? The father and moth
er who would do their full duty by
their children and command their re-
spect and admiration when they reach
years Of maturity must lead and COM
panion them Intellectually, furnish
them with food for their minds as we'll
as their bodies and create a stimuat-
ing and refining home atmosphere.
Such course is good thing for the
parents, and for the children it is in
valuable. 1t may mean simple clothes
and food and more help hired, but it
will pay.

a Rema.kabl. Record.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
q remarkable record. 1t has been IL
use for over thirty years, during which
time many million bottles have been
sold and used. 1t has long been the
stanaard and main reliance in the
treatment OF Group in thousands OF
homes. yet during all this time no case
mas ever peen reported to the manu-
facturers in which it failed to effect
cure. When given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse or even as soon
as the croupy cough appears, 1t will
prevent the attack. It is pleasant to
take; many children like 1t. 1t con-
tains no opium or other harmful sub
tance. and may be given as confidently
to baby as to an adult. For sale by

New Idea in Physiology,

1t is possible that the school child
may be quite as readily fatigued by
inspiring the waste products of his fel-
lows as by his own. and that the bust
ness man is more liable than the asri-
cultural laborer to become run down.
not so much because he works harder
personally manufactures more waste
products, but because his tissues are
more liable to become saturat ID with
the waste products of himself and 9th
ers derived from the confined atmos-
phere in which he works. Excessive
fatigue from railway journey is like
y to be noticed if the cars are crowded
or i'll ventilated.

THE TRAINING OF A CHILD.
Several important Points That Must
Be Remenhe cred.

To teach child With success re-
uiIes only common sense. good judg-
ment and gentleness. There are. how
ever, three other important points that
must ever be foremost in the mind
If the teacher.
First of all, she must remember that
o teach is to impart instruction; not
0 find FAULT with ignorance with lack
If comprehension with Iistlcssness or
with fOrSetfulneSs. Often. indeed. for
Ehesc last named faults, poor teaching
IS TO blame. Second. there is the
nt'eXible rule that requires a teacher
70 prepare every lesson carefully be
ore giving il, in order to present it
n an interesting and ineligible way.
Third, there is the ever present dan
yer OF erdoing, against which the
eacher must always be on guard.
In the beginning short lessons fre-
iUently varied give the best results.
Ten or fifteen minutes for each study
is enough, and this time limit must
not be overstepped SO long as to-
morrow represents another day.-The

The DEVELOPMENT of Africa,

In Ethiopia and the Soudan, the
work of development and exploitation
is progressing. The treaty recently
concluded between King Menelek anc
the British government probably
means the early construction of the
Berber-Suakin railroad via Kassala
(costing some $15,000.00O) and the
subsequent extension Of the Kassa!a
line southwark to Lake Rudolph,
where eventually it will form a juno
tlon with the Uganda railway, 1t the
same time marking long step toward
the realization OF the Cape-to Cairo
scheme.

VITALITY OF BURNS FAME.
Is One Of the Great Facts of Our
Literature,


The inquest" on Robert Burns was
oncluded long ago, but from time to
me the findings are reviewed by crit
al writer's, as in a recent symposium
oys Golfers. A curious result thus
'aances. From every such inquisition
he poet emerges the more radiant and
riumphal-the critics are lost in the
5plendor they have evoked. 1t is one
ling to make literature; it is another
aud quite different thing to write about
literature and the makers thereof. This
is truism, and yet the distinction is
often confused, especially by the writ
ers of criticism. Burns has survived
several generations OF critics, many
of whom made vain bid for remem-
brance by their praise or dispraise OF
him. The vitality of his fame is one
OF the great facts of our literature.

forests of Macedonia The Turks are
burning the forests in the districts of
Leron and Kostur, and killing fugi-
tives who attempt to escape to the
plains. The Vlach village of Gopesh,
three hours distant from Monastir, has
been burned by the Turks, who are
reported to have thrown several Of the
inhabitants into the fire.
All reports from the vilayet of Mon
astir agree in describing the situation
as appalling. Between 10000 and 90
900 Bulgarian inhabitants are believed
to have been massacred by the Turks,
and every Bulgarian village in the vii
ayet has been destroyed. The refugees
in the mountains and forests are dy-
ing OF starvation by thousands. At
present it is impossible to obtain pre-
else figures. The revolutionary head
quarters estimate that 10000 Bulgarian
men, women and children have been
killed. while at least the same num-
Der of refugees are slowly perishing of
hunger. In official circles these figures
| are regarded as an underestimate and
| officials incline to the belief that the
| number of the massacred exceeds so,
900. The Turks are apparently deter
mined to exterminate the entire Bull
garian population of the vilayet
Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept 12.-The revolu-
tionary headquarters here has received
from Burgas news of fearful atrocities
committed by the Turkish and Albanian
soldiers in the vilayet of Adrianople. A
squadron of Turkish cavalry intercepted
and slaughtered fugitives attempting to
cross into Bulgaria. Sixty Bulgarians
were killed within three kilometers of
the frontier The whole district of
Losengrad is filled with Albanian
troops, who are burning villages and
massacring the inhabitants They have
killed so persons and have slain Is 9TH
ers in the village of Kulu, % old people in
the village of Evekleer, Is families at
Faspeta, and 20 families at Asmadgik.
Paris, Sept. 12.-The commander of
the French Mediterranean squadron at
Toulon has received orders to hold in
readiness 10 leave for the Levant a
naval division consisting of the battle
ship Brennus, the armored cruiser La
touche Treville, the second class
cruiser Du Chayla, and the third class
cruiser Linois, under the command of
Admiral Jaureguiberry.
The orders to have naval division
ready to sail for the Levant are the re-
suit of the recommendation of the
French ambassador at Constantinople to
have strong force in readiness.
New Governor Appointed.
Washington, Sept. 12.-The following
bulletin was posted at the navy depart

of the American vice consul satisfac-
torily to the United States government.

OmciaI Version of Affair
Constantinople, Sept. "a consular

wounded.
