OF all the teaching in the world
ninety-nine one-hundredths Mt least is
done by fathers and mothers. Every
child learns more in the way Of actual
facts from the day of its birth until
the end Of its seventh year than 1T can
possibly learn in all the rest of its life
put together. During these first hours
and years of life the child learns to
walk, to talk. and, what is far more
important, 1t learns the beginnings Of
self control. During the first years the
child puts itself in touch with the
world into which 1t is born, and in
these early years the parents, and the
mother especially. are the teachers.
They start the operations Of the mind,
giving it its first bent. And however
able the tenchers Of the future may be,
however conscientious and learned, in
the great majority of cases the child's
future, its success or failure, depends
upon the first teaching influences of
the mother and father.-New York

Irelnnd,s wonderful, Linen.

Whether or not Ireland is the finest
country in the world for growing fax,
it is beyond dispute the finest in the
world for bleaching linen, an operation
which requires from six to eight weeks,
according to the nature and weight Of
the fabric. Nowhere else can the snow
white finished fabric be turned out to
rival the Irish bleach. France, Bel
GUM, Germany and the United States
have all entered into competition and
retired unsuccessful. The quality of
the water, the climate ind the inherit
ed experience Of the Irish bleachers
must all contribute to the result, which
has had abundant practical demonstra-
ton that Ireland now occupies and has
always occupied the first place in the
whole world for bleaching and finish
ing linen.

A question often asked, according to
the United Service, is why the army
cadets at West Point wear gray uni
form, while the uniform of the army
is blue. The origin of the distinction
dates back to the war of 1924,
when the commissary general of the
army could not procure the blue cloth
required for General Winfield Scotts
brigade, and SO they were clad in gray.
So distinguished was the conduct of
that brigade ut Lundy's Lane and Chip
pewa that when, after the war of 1872,
q reorganization Of West Point Mill
tary academy was made, out of compli-
ment to General Scott and his brigade
the uniform of the corps of cadets was
changed from blue to gray.
