ACQUIRED Idleness

According TO Mrs. Theodore w.
Birney, who gives so many valuable
suggestions every month in The
Delineator to those who have the
care of children, habits of idleness
are acquired, and not due to that
convenient bugbear, natural de.
pravity" These are some of the
wise thoughts in her paper for July !:
"It is as natural for children to be
busy as It is for them to breathe.
We are all familiar with the cease
less activity OF the wee toddlers,
who are here, there and every
whore. It is true that chill
dren who are habitually upocoupied
want to be eating continually; it is
also true that By presenting artistic
pleasures and pursuits to young
people, the gross and Objectionable
ceases to attract them. A..
Every member Of a family should
daily be responsible for some effort
which should conduoe TO the CON-
fort, convenience or pleasure of the
household. Young children
should be allowed to spend by far
the greater part of their time in
play but while tho greatest possible
liberty should be permitted children
in their recreations, we should bear
in mind that, as one author has ex-
pressed it, 'Lawlessness and ungov-
erned caprice during play hours are
the foundation Of misuse Of civic
freedom.

Signal Cruelty

William Waldorf Astor spoke
recently before the London Club
mems Benevolent Society, an organ
ization in which he takes a deep
interest. Mr. Astor's subject was
kindness, and at one point he said;
"Kindness is a virtue that stands
out brightest by contrast with some
signal piece of cruelty. III tell you
of piece of cruelty that was prac-
ticed, my gardener informs me, on
a certain costermonger.
"This costermonger lay dying. AS
he neared his end his wife said to
him;
z" Don't you think you could eat
a bit of something, John2'
~ might, the man answered.
Good, said she. Now, what
can get for your
Well, said the costermouger,
Il seem to smell ham a.cookin' some-
where's. I think I could eat a bit Of
that.
oh, no, John, dear, said his
wife. You can't have that. That's
for the funeral.

Democratic contemporaries have
way of oheerfully making the best
of facts and suiting their arguments
to whatever conditions are thrust
upon them. In other words they
assume to get in their blows on
every question going and coming
This plan might be very successful
if it were effective. Unfortunately
for the party, the people of the
country prefer fixed tactics and
policies. Take the case of the
Roosevelt Mcclellan Incident. In
the Presidents speech at Antietam
he made no mention of General
Mcclellan and we were told that
this commission would make Mayor
Mcclellan a powerful factor in the
presidential eqation and that the old
soldiers would rally by the thous-
ands to the son as a rebuke to the
President. Later, in his speech at
Gettysburg, on Memorial Day, the
President paid a most generous trib-
ute to General Mcclellan and coupl-
cd his name with those of the great
heroes of the Civil War. Now we
are told that the President was
frightened into this course and that
his remarks about the Union Com
mander will bring to the Mcclellan
Jr. standard great numbers of the
boys of 61-B If the Mcclellan
boom rests upon nothing moro sub
stantial than this sort Of talk, it will
hardly eleotrify the country.
