UP.BRING OF BOYS.
Playing with Dolls Said to Cultivate
Paternal Instinct.

Paternal Instinct.
Never laugh at a boy because he ia
fond of dolls, and never tease a man
because he helps his wife take care
OF the baby" said DR.. Mary Wood
Allen, addressing the New York City
Mothers club at the Waldorf-Astoria
yesterday afternoon. Because the
paternal instinct is less strong than
the maternal. it should be the more
carefully cultivated. A man gains
much by assisting in the care of his
children, and it is really more impor-
tant that a boy should play with dolls
than that girl should do so.
Many men are Indifferent and un-
sympathetic to their children, simply
because their paternal instinct was
never cultivated. When they were
children themselves their parents gave
them whips and drums and guns, and
told them that dolls were only for
girls. l know man who has five
fine bulldogs which are objects of
great solicitude to him. Their food
and exercise are all carefully regulat-
ed under his personal supervision. But

decayed teeth, and he is not at all

developed.
Little boys are often very fond of
dolls,' DR.. Wood-Allen continued. 81

who always takes his rag dollie to
bed with him and sleeps with it's feet
tucked tenderly under his chin"
DR.. Wood-Allen also said that chill
dren could be taught when very young
to look forward to parenthood and to
regulate their conduct with a view
to Its effect upon their future children.
They sometimes apply such instruc-
ton in unexpected ways" she remark
ed. After listening to one of my
lectures on heredity little girl was
heard to say to another: If you want
your children to mind you you've got
to mind mamma" My own little
daughter, when reminded her at the
age OF seven of the possible influence
of her naughtiness on her children,
asked, What kind of little girl
were your replied: No one told,
me when was child that what /
was would influence my children. II

Halloween Decorations.

Decoration for Halloween parties
may be elaborate or as simple as
hostess desires. for anything, so long
as it is characteristic, is appropriate.
A room ornamented with pumpkin
vines made of green and yellow crepe
paper, with small pumpkins contain
ing lighted candles, is an effective
finish for a dining room. Autumn
leaves stuck in the corners of an
apartment and vases filled with bright
yellow golden rod make an attractive
decoration for a st. Agnes Eve func-
ton.

There is simple method of as
certaing the age of eggs, based upon
the fact that the airy space at the
broad end OF the egg increases with its
age. Now, when the egg is placed IL,
a tumbler of water in which any
amount Of common salt is dissolved it
will with increasing age tend ever
more to assume a position with it's
longitudinal axis in perpendicular
direction. A fresh-laid egg will lie
horizontally on the bottom of the
vessel. An egg from three to five
days old will rise with its broad end
SO that its longitudinal axis forms
with its horizontal axis an angle OF
20 degrees. At the age of eight days
the angle increases to As degrees. at
the age of two weeks to about Is de-

month old it will float perpendicularly

A Balloon Incline Railroad.

Consul William Bardel writes from
Bambery that Engineer Balderauer.
OF SalzberG. has invented balloon
railroad. experiments with which are
now being made in the mountains in
the ncighborhood Of that German city.
II consists OF stationary balloon.
which is fastened TO n slide running
along n single steel rail. The rail is
fastened to the side OF n steep noun
tain. which ordinary railroads could
not climb. except through deep cuts
and tunnels The balloon IS to float
about 80 feet over the ground, AMI
n heavy steel cable connects 1t with
the rail. The conductor can. at will,
make the balloon slide up and down
the side OF the mountain. For going
up the motive power is furnished by
hydrogen gas. while the descent Is
caused by pressure of water which
is poured into n large tank at the up
per end of the road. and which serves
as ballast Suspended from the bal
loon is n circular car with room for
ten passengers. The cable goes from
the bottom OF the balloon through the
center OF the car to n regulator Of
speed. which is controlled by the con-
ductor. The inventor of this railroad
claims that his patent will force all
incline cable roads out OF existence.
