but is distinctly unfair. A child can
not be expected to fill UP every moment
as a grown person would do.
Let the children romp and play as
long as possible, and when it is neces-
sary for them to begin study or even to
take up certain duties still recognize
the playtime and see that the boy or
girl has as much recreation as possible.
We want the young people to be
light hearted, and it is a duty we owe
them to bring as much fun as possible
into their lives. They will work ever
so much better if the work time be in~
terspersed with play.

GROWTH OF THE NAILS.

According to a German doctor, the
human nail grows much quicker in the
warm weather. In the summer the nail
takes only 116 days for it's entire re-
newaI, while in the winter it takes 1872
days. The nails on the right hand grow
quicker than those on the left, and,
while the nail of the middle finger is
first on the list for rapid growth, the
thumb nail comes last.

None of the Russians are on

that the Japanese are right in their

London, March 24.-The Times this

ion of a correspondent that Japan will
land her main army at New Chwang,
which will be formed into a magnifi-
cent base, and that she also probably
will seize Hal Cheng (fifteen miles
eastward and on the railroad1, as an
additional base, and that, without Sc
riously attacking either Port Arthur
or Vladivostok, the war will be fought
on the plains of Central Manchuria.
1t is almost certain, in the corre-
spondent's opinion. that the war will
be long one. and that, at the worst,
Japan will retain a way to retreat
overland into Korea. If she secures
New Chwang, he says, her prestige Will
be established. and he adds that the
waterways of Southern Manchuria will
be of inestimable value in somewhat
counterbalancing the weakness OF ia
pan in her cavalry.

country represented the real views of
the rank and file of workingmen,
organized or unorganized Mr.. Job
called attention to labor troubles
where non-union men had been beaten
down with clubs and shot dead. and
said that the official organs of organ
lied labor never had spoken one word
of denunciation of these crimes.
Daniel A. Tompkins of North Caro-
lima was questioned In regard to child
labor in the South and answered that
the manufacturing interests in the
South we're now recovering from the
labor restrictions caused by the

of restriction, he said, but the i'm
provement for all classes in the South
was progressing and would work out
satisfactorily without legislation bet
