Stufing Children's Minds.

From the fIousekeeper
! believe there is & sarcastic aphorism
in the Talmud to the effect that the child
of six should be taken and laden like an
OK, and sometimes 1t seems as If We
had taken it seriously. 1t is perfectly
useless to expect or demand that all
the education the child is TO get is
to be furnished inside the schoolroom, by
one or two teachers, he taking his share
of time along with from forty to sixty
other children Striking an average OF
fifty children to the room, no child is
entitled to more than six minutes OF in
dividual attention daily. which means half
an hour during the school week. To re-
quire that the teacher should incuicate

it is doubtful whether any child ever

she is compelled to supplement the in
struction, or lack of instruction, received
at home in such matters as cleanliness,

The War Against Opium.

From the Scientific Temperance Federation.
The joint commission on the opium
traffic appointed by the countries who
have possessions in the least. viz, Great
Britain, Germany, France, Portugal, the
Netherlands. China. Japan and the United
States, IS to meet in Shanghai, China,
January ! 1909. Meanwhile, the Ameri-
can commissioner who is working in the
United States, Mr.. Hamilton Wright,
Washington, ID. c., is endeavoring to
find out how much opium is used legally
and illegally in this country Physicians
boards of health and police departments
are asked to send him any authentic in
formation they may possess to aid his in
quiries. the results of which will be
studied at the joint meeting in Shanghai
for the purpose Of arriving al some prac-
teal plan for international control Of the
opium traffic.
The figures already collected by Mr.
Wright show that there is a marked IN
crease in the amount of smoking opium
imported. although our Chinese popula-

ORIGINS OF BIRD NAMES.
Popular Nomenclature Based OF
Notes Birds Sound.

Horace G.. Hutchinson, In CornhilI.
It has been left for the Americans, per-
hapS, to achieve the greatest triumph in
the way of bird naming, according to the
note of the bird as it strikes the human
ear. The "whip-poor-will' is a better
suggestion in words of a birds call than
any other that 1 know, and 1t carries.
too as We think of the suffering Of "Will."
the unfortunate whipping boy" just that
suggestion of pathos and also of quaint
ness which the birds note carries. All
that subtle kind Of suggestion helps the
name immensely, but at the same time
the three rather absurd monosyllables do
give a wonderful imitation Of the avine
call The "whip-poOr-Wil is very near
cousin Of our own might jar" as we call
him sometimes with better significance
than that of his alternative name, based
on habit which never was his, of goat
sucker" No doubt the '.iar" by night is
intended to convey an idea Of the birds
note, which is generally written "chur,"
and perhaps this could not easily be i'm
proved on.
'Yatf1e' is distinctly a good local name
of the ioud-laughing bird, the green wood
pecker. He does not precisely appear to
say "yaffle,'' but the word carries vague
suggestion of his notes sound. Wood

ing habit its right place.
the birds note 1 hardly know, but I should
guess it to be So in whatever language it
had its origin at first. The corvines are
rather apt TO take their names from
their hoarse voices. 'Jackdaw' is OBJ
viously the daw that says Jack" and
''daw," again, is doubtless from his call,
that he is also the Jack that says
"daw" The fact that two words spelt
SO differently can both indicate the note
shows how arbitrary 1t all is. Til. big

Two Epitaphs.
From the Kansas City Journal.


Out at Attica in the little burying
ground is the grave Of Nathaniel Grigsby.
He died in 1890 and was man of much
force. He had war record, serving as
second lieutenant in Company G, 10th
Indiana Cavalry. Grigsby was an ardent
republican. He stood by the G. Q. p.
at all times, and even in death. This
ep1taph Is on his tombstone:
Through this inscription
l wish to enter my dying
protest against what is
called the democratic party.
! have watched il closely
since the days of Jackson
and know that all the mis-
fortunes of our nation have
come to it through this So
called party. Therefore be-
ware of this party of treason"
Grigsby's heirs did not want this in
scription to go on the tombstone but
the lawyer declared that the will pro-
vided that it must he used. and the
family had to agree. But the inscription
is headed with line that Grigsby's will
made the epitaph mandatory.

FASHIONABLE JEWELRY.
Butterflies, Garnets and Seed Pearls

Jewelry made of butterfly wings set

those inclosing four-leafed clovers. They.
like all the butterfly jewelry, are brilliant
with color. At first glimpse the scarf
pins could pass for opals. One pendant

Seed pearls are very much to the front
this season. The newest necklaces are a

pendants hung at wide intervals. Naria-
tions on this simplest form are shown in
models that have little loop OF the
pearls from the main string to hold the
pendant also in those that have three or
more main strings with the pendants at

strings. Gold or silver ornaments elabo-

stones are quite as much seen as the
drops of plain stone.
Rope necklaces in seed pearls revive an
old fashion. Some come very long with
