Boiidar an Iconoclast.

Bojidar an Iconoclast.
There is an old French proverb which
runs to the effect that 'on nest iamais
trahi que par les siens.'' Zone IS never
betrayed but by ones friends. which
finds a new illustration in the amazing
article just published by Prince Bojidar
Karageorgevitch in tho Revue at
Paris. on the subject Of Marie Bash
kirtsen.
The prince. who is a cousin OF the
present King of Servia. the designer
OF his crown. and at present fourth in
the line of succession to the Servian
throne, was one of the most intimate
friends and admirers Of Marie Bash
kirtseff. and after her death earned a
great deal of money by his writings
and a great amount of prestige by his
association with her.
II may be remembered that the most
amazing thing about this young girrs
literary productions was her precocity
which formed indeed the subject OF no
end Of discussion. not only in the world
OF letters. but also in scientific and medl-
cal circles. whole volumes having
been written about the matter. And
now the prince proves IN the most con-
elusive manner, which admits Of no
question or argument. that at the time
when Marie was writing about her ex-
raordInary infatuation for the late
DUKE OF Hamilton In such an extrava-
CANT manner as to excite the attention
OF Prof Lombroso, she was not twelve
years OF age, as has been alleged, and
as everybody has believed until now
put at least eighteen, which, of course.
does away with all her pretensions to
precocity.

East Indian Children.

East Indian children from their ten.
derest years are more carefully trained
in certain respects by their mothers
than the children of the most civilized
peoples. The moment the youngest ba-
by ceases nursing it's lips are closed by
its mother. If the baby does not keep
them closed, she uses mechanical means
rigidly and even cruelty. When the ba-
by is put to sleep it is strapped on to
board, its head slightly raised and it's
chin lowered, which tends TO keep the
mouth shut The result is that when
the teeth are forming and making their
lrst appearance they meet and contin-
ually feel one another. Thus they take
their relative positions and that health:
full and pleasing regularity that gives
10 the American Indian as race tile
most manly and beautiful mouths in
the world.
