religious books, and particularly the

"Rigidly exclude from your house
hold all books and pamphlets which are
hostile to religion and good morals
Never admit into your homes any
newspaper or periodical which venti-
lates obscene news and licentious scan

Now, there are good and bad jour
nails, as there are clean and unclean an
imas. No kind of literature works more
mischief in a community than salacious
journals. They contain not only news
matter. but also advertisements of a
most Objectionable character.
They have sensational items which
are snare and a stumbling block to
the innocent and unwary. Many of the
youth of both sexes have learned from
this impurse fountain their first les

depravity."

Paris-The Eclair prints deli

saying court circles are agitated by re-
ports that the indications are the
queen probably will present twins to
the world.
Should this happen 1t would raise
most interesting legal, medical and po-
litical questions, besides being unique
in royal history. This would be par
ticularly the case should the twins be
boys or If they should be girls and
they should be the only children Of the
king and queen.
The Eclair says such troubles as
those of the Carlist times are hardly
likely to happen, but disputes would
be almost certain, because notwith-
standing the present Spanish law de-
clares the first born of twins Is the
older, and, therefore, has a right to the
succession, the old Spanish order re-
versed this and modern medical opin-
ion, says the Eclair, supports the older
law, declaring the older child In the
