A Greater Need.

The Young Peoples Weekly prints
q pathetic story Of a poor, hall
starved child. living in a city alley.
Some one had given her a ticket to q
free tea and entertainment.
She was wild with delight, and was
running to tell her mother OF her
good fortune when she stumbled over.
a child orouched on the stairs, crying.
She asked what was the matter.
The child said her mother had beaten
aer. because she asked for some break
fast, and she was SO hungry she could
not help crying.
"Well," said the other child, plac-
ing the ticket in. her hand, take this
and get a good tea. I've had no
breakfast, either, but my mother
never beats me-.
And she passed or, leaving TIE
ticket In the hand Of the astonished
child.

The Emperor's Portrait.

When Mr.. Charles DENLY was min
lister to China a publisher wrote to
him asking him to procure a photo
graph of the Emperor of China. His
reply, printed in a New York ex-
change, shows that the pictures pub
lished as likenesses of the emperor
cannot be trusted. Mr.. DENLY wrote
az follows:
ut would afford me great pleasure
to send you a photograph of the en-
peror if M could be procured. After
making inquiries l find that his pho
tograph, or portrait of any kind, has
never been taken"
The Son of Heaven is not visible to
any foreign eye except when foreign
ministers are received in. audience.
On such occasions all cameras or
sketch-books are absolutely forbid
den.
When the emperor goes out in his
sedan-chair all the cross streets are
barricaded with mats, and every door
and window by which ne passes is
closed. Should any one be caught
spying, death follows Immediately.

Try a Hammock.

If you are short of room, why not

table. In arranging the ropes or
hooks, have the head two feet higher
than the foot. This gives a comfor-
table curve. If the ropes are used,
have the head rope shorter than the
other. In this way there is less mo-
ton Of the body, which so many peo-
pie object to In hammocks. A thin,
fat pillow adds to the comfort, but
even it is not necessary. If it is a
trouble to stow it away. Some of the
new hammocks have slightly raised

She was a very pretty girl clad in

Chinese BARRIERS Don't Use Lather.

Zone of the chief trials of the aver
age man is the way his razor pulls
when he proceeds to erase the beard
from his face" remarked Julian V
Apperson, of St. Louis.
Some years ago 1 was in China
and I noticed that the cunning bar
bers Of that country instead Of put
ting lather on the faces of their GUS
:omers used a number Of hot towels
instead. I went through the expert
ence and became a convert to the
Chinese system. To this day when
go to shave, in lieu of soap I steam
my face with hot water, and find that
this method takes all the witness out
of the whiskers far better than lather.
so that If the blade is reasonably
sharp you can shave without any tor
aure incurred in the pulling
process. Baltimore American.

Child Study as a
: Science.

The greatest discovery Of recent
years is the discovery of the child.
Somehow or other there have always
been children in the world, but also,
somehow or other, we have only now
found out that children are human
beings. The result has been instant
action; we have children's hospitals,
children's laws, children's aid socie-
ties and reformatories, children's
civic Fairgrounds, children's courts,
and now Clark University, in Worces-
ter, Mass, has decided to crystalline
the entire child-welfare movement by
establishing a new Departmental
institute for studying child-life in all
it's phases.
DR.. G. Stanley Hall, president of
Clark University, is the man who has
made this possible. According to Q
most instructive account Of his work
in Hampton's Magazine, DR.. Hall finds
in this plan Is the elimination of an
idea that has been growing in his
mind for the greater part of his sixty.
four years Of life.
Work in the new child-life institute
will begin this fall. 1t will form a
basis for ell ~philanthropic and educa-
tional movements in behalf Of chill
dren. The effort will be to collect
all data, now so scattered as to be in
efficient, under one roof so that It may
be studied and worked with most ef-
fsctively. There will be a library for
the collection Of books, monographs
reports, laws Of different countries
pertaining to children, etc. There
will be a child hygiene department.
with apparatus used in schools and
nurseries, comprising the study OF
contagious and infectious diseases,
mortality statistics, the influence of
various conditions Of life, diet, dress,
games and work. Heredity, the laws
governing birth-rate, social and In.
dustrial conditions will be studied.
Then there will be 2 department OF
child anthropology, child lore, myth,
custom, belief, gangs, etc. Also de-
partments for studying subnormal
children, juvenile vice and crime and
moral and religious education.
DR.. Hall considers that one of the
most important results of the work
will be to guide Alright legislation in
behalf Of children. No provision is
ever likely to be. made by the Govern
ment for the scientific study Of chill.
dren, and it is a sort of clearing house
for accurate information along these
lines that DR.. Hall is founding

The Divorce Zone.

"A girl recently returned irom a
series of visits asked not to be ques-
toned as to how much she had en-
joyed it, as she had been living in
the divorce zone. "In every family
in those places, and I went to FIVE
colonies" she said, there had been
a divorce, and the n topic was the
heart hunger that had made one or
the other seek fresh fields I could
not quite understand Why any woman
should be hungry for love and SYM
pathy' when endowed with a decent
husband and children, or why 1t was
always the most eligible bachelor

Faded Cottons Made New.

Faded cotton blouses, frocks, etc.,
can be made to look new If bleached
white. Mix three tablespoonful of
chloride OF lime in three quarts Of
water, or double that quantity Of both
if required, and in this liquid stir
about the garments until they are
white. Then at once rinse thorough
ly in pure water and starch and iron
as usual. If preferred to have the
garments colored, they may be dyed
after they have been bleached, but
the bleaching is advisable in order to
get the fabric to take the dye equally
all over.-Home Notes.
