Truthful Children.

How to inculcate and encourage TRUTH
fulneSS in the breast OF child is prob
lem which taxes the judgment of the
hest among us. 1t i one of those in
cvitablc problems which no parent can
escape. and it may he taken as an
axiom that the road to truthfulnesS must
be sought through trust, and trustful-
ness can only come through mutual SYM
pathy. 4 sympathy which enables the
mother to know what demands she can
and ought to make upon the child's
0hcdience to her higher will and which
teaches the child uncOmpla inngly to ac-
ccpt her wishes as law. To win this
trust a mothers correction should never
sUtrun her love. and she may well make
il a golden maxim never to let the sun
20 down upon her wrath. Ii a child
vnce falls that he day has gone by with
u loss or lessening or the mothers love
The influence of the mother for good is
dangerously weakened; a link IS snapped
in the chain of tFuthfulneSs and Il
precious idol is in danger of being hope
laSsiy shattered. Undue harshnes> is one
0f those irreparable errors we are sure
80 regret, and as it behooveS us to tenn
per cur justice with mercy it is equally
important for mothers to temper their
reproofs with love. The responsibilities
Ut motherhood are indeed heavy, but they
are not beyond their powers. and ii Is
within mothers scope to control far
more fully than she may be ready TO
acknowledge the environment of her
children and to weld their characters FOR
coed or eyil.-BurlingtOn IIaWkeve.

War Aids Women Doctors.

The Woman's Medical Institute In
st. Petersburg, on it's foundation, was
hailed as the only place in the world
where O. woman could take out medical
degrees. 1t was unendowed and was
kept going by voluntary subscriptions
and by the sacrifices Of professors,
whose zeal was even greater than their
skill
But though 1t was looked toward by
many as a beacon OF advance, the
school in reality had only trembling
vitality, knowing we'll that the lifting
of the eyebrow Of any powerful per-
sonage was enough to send it tum-
hing down. AS a matter Of fact, the
school was closed in 1886 by the min
lister. Warrowsky, and was not re-
opened until eleven years later, when
It lived on, If possible, in a more trem-
bling condition that before.
r. has now assumed a sudden i'm
portance. 1t has been brought from
IFS struggling retirement. All the
world has been told of it's existence
and called upon to give it recognition
An edict from the Gar has given it
status and a substantial grant. Its
students get all the privileges hitherto
available to men.
The reason of this sudden change of
offic;al attitude is that the war is tax
ing all the Russian men doctors, and
- their places are not supplied the
country is at the mercy of any cpl
don,ic that would come along. Hence
tba thoughtfulness and the generosity
rhich has been suddenly developed to-
ward the woman doctor.
