rant phenomena? Some of them, no
doubt, fill early graves, others break
away from leading strings and melt
into the ranks and are never heard of
more The vast majority ceasing to
be precocious, eventually take their
places with the average people around
us, do their work, and get through it
with credit, their childish successes
entirely forgotten.
Well for them if their beginnings
nave not been too widely exploited.
Child-preachers who declaim eloquent
~ before gaping crowds, are to be
pltled, not praised. Child actors and
musicians are forced to play and act
at an age when they should still be in
the nursery. Those who manage
them and those who pay to watch
them, seeming insensible to their
cruelty. Child-poets whose little
verses are printed with admiring com
ments, their full name, age and place
OF residence given to the public. are
thrust out of the sweet retirement to
which childhood is entitled and are
apt In later years to suffer from criti-
'clsm and from a sort of puzzled sur
prlsed that their maturity has not
equalled their childish genius. Fruit
out OF season in the realm of mentality
is not worth much to anyone.

ENJOYMENT AS A VIRTUE.
The Doctrine of Human, Happiness
as Opposed to Renun-
citation.

All pessimism, all asceticism. is
founded upon the existence of what
Tolstoy calls the "illusory thirst for
enjoyment" Now, however, writes
Vernon Lee, in the North American
Review, numerous the cases where en-
joyment proves impossible or mis-
chievous, the continued existence of
the human race shows that, SO times
out OF a hundred neither the enjoy
ment nor the thirst for it is illusory.
but, on the contrary, a genuine adj
vantage, making subsequent enjoy
ment not less, but more, possible by
perfecting the sensibilities. The
healthy activity of the whole individu-
al, with it's inevitable hierarchy of i'm
pulses, both secures pleasure and fore

it diminishes conflict with others quite
as effectually as does Tolstoy's Renun-
citation. And here let me say that
there is surely something mean in this
reciprocal remuneration, resulting in
the cessation of struggle and disap-
pointment Such remuneration is often
needful in our imperfect individual
case; our eye gives us trouble, and we
cast 1t from us. But such rough and
ready. such wasteful, destructive
methods are surely not admissible in a
philosophy of life, in counsel of per,
lection! The universal, as distin-
guished from the individual, rule for
greater happiness is not self-dimin-
ution but assimilation, expansion, the
non-ego becoming, in imagination and
feelings, an integral part OF the ego.
Asceticism breaches voluntary impoy

Fanny flushed scarlet, and looked a
bit defiant. 'Oh, he's always hanging
around, and won't take no for an an
swer-but I won't marry him, SO I
WON'T
"Why?" asked My Lady Florence.
Because won't marry any of these
country louis with their coarse clothes
and their rough maners," blazed Miss
Fanny, stamping ner pretty foot Il

chance with your fine clothes and
baths and maids and messages and
and things-and l can interest these
fine gentlemen and lords and dukes,
and-and-things as we'll as you, II |

My Lady Florence dismounted and
placed hand gently on the defiant
shoulder of the girl. MY dear GIRL
she said. please, please believe me
when tell you that there is no hap
plness in all the things you speak
OF. The honest love of an honest
man is the greatest happiness a girl
can have. know the man you have
sent away is good man, and a true
one. Do not, do not, | beg of you,

piness for the tawdry tinsel of which
you speak. 1t means a life OF misery
to you, and you will curse yourself as
long as you live
Fanny turned to her soberly, but
still with traces OF defiance.
Where is the tall, handsome fellow
that looks like Dave, who was shining
above you last year when l was wait

sullenly. why didn't you marry him
II what you say is true? What are

lord hanging around you, if you don't

1t was Fanny's turn now to flush
to her temples. She stood With
her hand still on the other girls
shoulder and looked far off with un-
seeing eyes, After a long time, dur.
ing which neither girl spoke, My Lady
Florence said, softly, turning her eyes
searchingly into those of her compan-

"You are right, my DEAR l am

BY MARGARET e. SANGSTER.
Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles)
Fond parents as everybody knows,
are much in the habit Of Imagining
that their children are cleyerer and
brighter than ever children were since
the world began. Other people may
find the children tiresome and dis
agreeable, but in the eyes of doting
parents they are without a peer, and
their sayings and doings are related
with infinite relish whenever anybody
can be found who has leisure and pa
thence to listen.
Precocious children fortunately for
themselves and for the race, are the
exception rather than the rule. A
normal child, healthy and sturdy, is
seldom precocious. OF course, there
are on record notable instances of
children who manifested remarkable
traits and extraordinary intelligence
at very early age, and some of them
did net belle their infant promise.
Lord Macauley is case in point.
When he was somewhere near the
milestone of his fourth birthday, he
read necessarily and lying on the
hearth rug, at full length, with face
intent on book, he heard little that
was going on around him. On one oc-
casion, having the misfortune to be
badly burned, this unchild-like child
remarked, to sympathizing friend
that the agony was extreme. Yet
Macauley grew up to be not merely an
eminent historian and man of letters,
but man of universal knowledge, of
profound public spirit, and of notable
loyalty to kith and kin. Though a
prig in childhood, he was not pedant
tn maturity.
or Robert Murray McCheyne, a ia
nous Scotch clergyman, it is gravely
set down by his biographer, that he
had mastered the Greek alphabet at
the age Of three. I myself have a
friend, woman of brilliant powers
and varied scholarship. who was
taught to read Hebrew by very
learned father before she was allowed
to learn English, SO that as little
SAAAAA3 VI OLA oAV 4C1u Luc doDT6W
Scriptures, while she did not yet know
the English alphabet. Her early pre-
cocity did her no harm.
Generally speaking, considering the
Importance OF a sound mind in a.
sound body, it is not worth while to
push children forward intellectually at
the possible expense of future health
and vigor. The brain if unfairly
treated may develop so rapidly that it's
power OF assimilation will be early
exhausted and the wonderfully bril-
liant child become in later life medi-
OGRE, dull and commonplace. The bow
and girl who make clean sweep of
all the prizes in sight during school
days, are often never heard of again.
Some Of our most conspicuous states
men, authors and commanders, on sea
and land, made no show whatever
during the days of their training, and
were graduated in the lowest ranks of
their class.

A besetting sin of American parents

A besetting sin of American parents
is an almost insane ambition in be-
half o. children and a desire to push
the Inildren as fast as they can out of
childhood's quiet round into the tur-
MOL OF the arena. Little people are
hurried from the cradle to the kinder
garten, from the kindergarten to the
primary and so on through the sew
eral grades, and frequently to the dis
advantage of the children. I heard
the other day of young doctor who
natrlculated at the medical school
when he was just 16, an age at which
no youth is fit to undertake the seri-
GUS study Of medicine, and indeed at
which few boys are sufficiently ma
tured to enter college.
We are in frantic haste to get orr
boys and girls where they may either
earn their own livelihood, or in some
way compete with others who arc
breadWinners in the crowded market
places Of the land.
A precocious child is very likely r.
hear so much about his talents and,
his attachments that he will look
down condescendingly on the neigh
Dor who is not nearly so far advanced
and still has pronounced liking for
marbles, kites, balls and robust games
A boy ought to know how to NAV
Play is far more worth while for him
than work in the first ten years Of life
One great advantage of athletic
sports, of football, baseball and basket
ball. lies in the fact that the stnrd;-
ness and pluck they demand. prolonp
the play-time of the youth. The, nre,
coctous child is seldom or never
good catcher or pitcher or quarter
back or half-back; he is on the CON
trary. likely to survey with disdain
the boyfsh pride taken by athletes in
their triumphs, and to consider The
time spent in the open air rather =
waste than the opposite. His energies
are bent on acquiring more and sti1l
more culture from the world Of litera-
ture. Often one sees the STRANGE
anomoly when such a youth has
grown up, OF man whose information
= prodigious, while his knowledge of
available tools is academic. In other
words It Is not the youth who has
made the most rapid strides during his
training who has the requisite STAYING
