MOORISH CHILDREN
ARE WELL TRAINED.

A French lady, Mile. Mathile Zeys,
has recently visited Morocco, and at
the present moment Parisians. are
deriving instruction and entertainment
from her work. "Une Franchise au
Marco" Children in Morocco, she tells
us, are brought up to show the great
est respect and Difference to their
parents. A Moorish child never enters

Only on r occasions; does he lake
his meals with his parents. As a rule,
the child has but one dish. which Is

meal.
Although the discipline seems severe,
Moorish parents love their children
dearly. and it is a pretty sight to see
a swarthy Arab with rugged features
playing with his children in front Of his
house. The girls have a monotonous
time, spent at their mothers side.
At the age. of 5 the father takes his
little son to school. He carries with
him a present to the master, or "fokih, T"
and some sweetmeats to cheer up the
little chap for the first few days. At
the end of the first week the parents
give a party to signalize the boys entry
to school. and all the small boys little
friends who have a half holiday for the
occasion, are invited.

Study, such as it is, is literary rather
than scientific. Moorish scientific ideas
are not only antiquated, out often false.

EFFECT OF DRUGS
UPON THE BRAIN.

No sensible person believes that
drugs do not affect h brain, and yet
this doctrine seems to fit in with so
many facts that some clear
ton of it's fallacy is much needed. 1t
is the physician who should be ske
what he has to say On the subject, be-
cause naturally he is the one best
qualified to know whatever is known
about both drugs and brain. More
over, lately he has made great discoy-
cries about the relations of the brain
TO the mind by observations, which ne
alone could makei of the effects of
local injuries to brain matter caused
by disease or by accident.
But how different the facts about
these two subjects are from what most
people imagine, he shows by saying
hat drugs no more affect the brain
thai Insanity does-that is, not at all!
except alcohol, which does injure the
brain, though not at all on account
of it's mental effects, but for the very
different reason that alcohol has
a chemical affinity for the albumen
and fats of the tissues. BY this chemi-
cal action 1t slowly alters and damages
brain tissue, but this result in no wise
differs from similar alterations pro-
duced by alcohol in the tissues of the
liver n of the kidneys. Tobacco is
a powerful poison, and yet no autop-
sizes can show the least difference be-
tween the brain of a lifelong smoker
and that of one who lever lit a cigar.
Likewise, the brain of an opium fiend
is indistinguishable from any other
brain. and so on for the rest.-Dr'
William Hanna Thomson, in Every
body's.

A GREAT LAND OPENING

Washington, b. c., June 3O-A
number of exceptional opportunities
are now being offered by the Gov
ernment for enterprising and intel
llgent farmers to secure choice
farms on a dozen or more large ir-
rigation projects which are nearing
completion.
Owing to the rapid narrowing of
the limits Of the unoccupied public
domain, it is doubtful if these Op.
portnnities will ever occur again.
1t is probable, therefore, that the
West will see one of the greatest
infuxes of homeseekers in 1908
that has been witnessed in many
years.
The great ity and the Won
derful crop yields from irrigated
lands, and the favorable terms the
Government offers settlers, war.
rants the belief that before the year
closes not a single farm will be
without its entryman. These farms
are located in North Dakota, Mon
talna, and Nevada.
A letter addressed to the Statis-
tician, U. S Reclamation Service,
Washington, D. c., will secure full
information concerning the location
soil, climate, crop possibilities, and
terms Of disposal.
