TOWSON. MD. SATURDAY,

is quite innocuous. At about the time
the writer of this article was most in
terested in the movement referred to,
an article written by an alleged midi
co-legal expert was very largely cir
culated, its object being to demon
strate that the cigaret was a most in
nocent and harmless combination of
paper and tobacco. Similar activity
is again apparent.
The Police Magistrates OF this and
other cities have stated again and
again that the majority of juvenile
delinquents appearing before them are
cigaret fends, whose moral nature
has been warped or destroyed through
the instrumentality of this vice. The
managers and trustees of institutions
for the correction and reformation of
youthful offenders have the same
story The Code of the Junior George
Republic, realizing this truth, pre-
scribed one of the most severe forms
of punishment for the infraction of
the rule relating to cigaret smoking,
and 1 have been informed by good
authority that many of the gold cure
establishments refuse to receive any
alcoholic patient who is also addicted
to the inhaling habit, for the reason
that experience has shown that no re-
lief can be expected in such cases.
Parents should inform their boys
of the danger attending any indul-
gence in this habit before they are
likely to contract it, forbid it, and
should, in my opinion, visit condign
punishment on those who offend
against this parental law.
The city of Chicago. I have been
informed, has an organization of bus
mess men, numbering several thou
sands, pledged not to give employ
ment to any boy or man who smokes
cigarets, or who has the inhaling
habit. There should be such an or
ganization in every city and town in
the United States, in order that our
boys may have the chance at success
that God Almighty intended they
should ve.-zhe ,Lsdebendent, New

HAND THAT ROCKS THE WORLD.

Blessings on the hand of woman!
Angels guard its strength and grace
In the palace, cottage, hOvel,
Oh, no matter where the place!
Would that never storms aseailed 1t,
Rainbows ever gently curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Infancy's the tender fountain
Power may with beauty flow:
Mothers first to guide the streamlets;
From them souls unreeting grow
Grow on for the good or evil,
Sunshine streamed or darkness hurled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Woman, how divine your mission
Here upon our natal sod
Keep, oh, keep the young heart open
Always to the breath of God
All true trophies of the ages
Are from mother love impearled,
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Blessings on the hand of womanl
Fathers, sons and daughters cry,
And the sacred song is mingled
With the worship in the sky
Mingles where no tempest darkens,
Rainbows evermore are hurled
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.

QUEEN BEES.

A marvellous phase of bee life is the
power which they possess to raise
queens, or mother bees, from eggs or
very young brood that would in the
ordinary course produce workers,
which are neuters, or undeveloped fe-
males.
If by any chance queen is killed
or lost the whole colony would per-
ish were it not for this wonderful pro-
vision of nature. Much perturbed at
first at their loss, the bees after some
hours settle down and deliberately
build pear shaped structure known
as a queen cell. This is much larger
than an ordinary cell, rough, .irregu-
lar and strong.
In this the selected eggs, or larva,
are lavishly supplied with "royal jel-
w." which is highly stimulative and
in which the baby queen literally
floats during her period of growth.
The result is that certain organs and
oyaries which remain dormant in a
worker bee are perfected, aud the
new queen matches out in about ff-
teen days. or six days sooner than
the workers.

AT A meeting of the Aquashicola
(Pa-) School Board charges were
made by a committee of taxpayers
that the teachers were dumb and
that some of them hugged the big
girls" The following rules were
finally adopted: Teachers must not
hug the big girls or say How do you
do, my dear p or use any other terms
of endearment when meeting them.
In case the pupil cannot solve prob
lem the teacher must at once step to
the blackboard and work it." One
of the directors was reprimanded be-
cause he suspended pupil for chew
ing gum.

CARE OF THE EYES.

Up to 40 years of age. bathe the
eyes twice daily with cold water.
Avoid reading when lying down or
when mentally and physically de-
pressed.
When the eyes are tired, rest them
by looking at objects from distance.
Old persons should avoid reading
much by artificial light; be guarded
as to diet, and avoid sitting up late
at night.
Avoid stimulants and drugs which
affect the nervous system, especially
when they are known to exert an in
furious influence.
After so years of age bathe the
eyes morning and evening with water
so hot that you would wonder how
you would stand it; follow this with
cold water; that will make them glow
with warmth.
DO not give up in despair when you
are informed that cataract is devel-
oping; remember that in these days
of advancing surgery it can be remov.
ed with little danger to the vision.

The Efficacy of Prayer.

A lady tells of conversation
that once took place in q friends
house in Boston in which there were
discussed certain phenomena of the
mind. Some one observed that ii
was q curious fact that no man
could do one thing and think of an
other.
During the discussion little girl
of ten, the daughter of the host,
was listening attentively.
'1 can do one thing and think cd
another" she said.
"What is it?" asked her father.

his existence forever, and he had
encouraged her i'll this notion. He
felt that lie was acting the part of Il
glorified Major Dobbin and playing
it uncommonly well. On one occa-
sion he had sung ''The Dcyout Low
er" in her presence with so much
feeling as to have affected even him
self. That he was doing great
evil by this posing he had never re-
flected. He had not even dreamed
that Miss Henderson's feelings to.
ward him were undergoing anv
change. When she had proclaimed
her love for him that night he had
been for a second dizzy at the chasm
that had opened before him. "And
now you know he concluded, "why

"But what the devil has all this
to do with it?" l replied angrily.
''What would you have done in
my placer"

not have told her straight out that

up my mind about his behavior.
That he was wrong to have followed
Miss Henderson when he knew that
he did not love her is beyond ques.
ton. This being so, it is clear to
me sometimes that he ought to have
married her, and his subsequent con-
duct appears mean beyond credcnce.
To escape an unpleasant duty he
dishonored his own name. At other
times it is equally obvious to ME
that he ought not to have married
her-a return of her affection was
not to be expected-and he chose
quixotically heroic method of spar
ing her self pride. AS I have said,
I am as far from a decision as ever,
and all this while Marsden, my old
chum, is suffering acutely from my
neglect.
There is one question that de-
mands an answer. How was it that,
in spite of his confession, I at no
time believed in my friends guilt?
I had stolen the money myself
