PREPARING FOR THE SABBATH
Influence on Children of the Customs In Orthodox Jewish
 Households.

The Sabbath, including its compii- cated preparations. is rich and impress sive material for child's imagina ton. On Thursday evening the moth CT already prepares dough. goes to market, cleans the fish, etc.
 In the morning the baking of "chales" (bread). How bewitching for a child to watch the mother making different shapes of dough, smearing 1t with egg and decorating 1t with braids of different shapes and forms. Jewish child gets the first lesson in what we call modelling by making make-believe "chales"
 In the evening the mother prepares to meet the Sabbath. The child par takes in the household occupations and thereby gets habits of industry. order and regard for the rights and ideas of others and the fundamental habit of subordinating his activities to the general interest of the household.
 This is especially true in regard to Jewish households where everything seems to be prescribed by law. Be fore darkness sets in on Friday the housewife lights in the dining room extra candles or special lamp in honor of Sabbath and reads the bless ing.
 Quite often child not yet able to talk will cover its face with its little palms, initiating the gestures of the devoted mother. The returning from the synagogue, the appreciative greet ing: Good Sabbath." the Kiddush the blessing over wine, the special menu and the holiday spirit of all who participate has undoubtedly sooth ing. beneficent influence upon the child. After supper the time is spent in resting. Hebrew.

PUT THE EMPLOYES TO SLEEP
DroWsiness of Custom House Men Ex rlained When Cocoanuts Were
 Examined

Officers, clerks and janitors em- ployed by the Brownsville custom house have for the last few days been suffering from a strange attack re- sembling the dreaded sleeping ,sick- ness, and the symptoms were becom- ing so accentuated that the matter was getting to be serious, until this morning a sack of cocoanuts ad- dressed to a Chinaman at San Anto- nio, Tex. was hauled out into the cor ral of the custom house for more con- venient keeping.
 The sack of cocoanuts arrived by ex. press from Tampico by way of Mon. terey several days ago and had not been called for
 The express messenger, baggage master and postal clerk, all of whom occupy the same car, were last asleep when the train pulled into the station The express messenger was lying with his head upon the sack and was the most difficult of the three to awaken
 When 1t was found that they were not drunk examination of the contents or the sack was made and it was found that one of the cocoanuts was merely the shell, the space within con taining opium. The sack was seized by the authorities on the Texas side oi the river and was thrown carelessly into corner of the office room. Il will from now on. however, be stored in the yard until it is disposed ol through the usual methods.-Mexicar Herald.

If the Bangles wanted us to take dinner with them, why didn't they in vite us to their own home?" asked Mrs. Jarr. T know how this taking dinner in a restaurant will end It w.4i mean that we will pay the check"
 You were present when the matter can up," said MT. Jarr They asked IFS 10 have dinner at their house, and you said it would be such bother for Mrs. Rangle, and suggested we all go dine together at a restaurant"
 Well, l didn't suggest we should pay for it, said Mrs Jarr I'm sure these Rangles could Go that much We have entertained them dozens of times"
 They've entertained us. too," said Hs 'arr.
 "Ar1 why shouldn't they?" replied ; g. Jarr.
 There being no reason why they 8 9lldn't, Mr Jarr did not answer. and Mrs. Jarr continued:
 And don't you be fool and insist on paying. If the Bangles want to dine at g restaurant let them pay for the check"
 Don't you think the best way for us to do would be to divide the ex pense?" asked MT. Jarr.
 No. I do not Nobody ever does anything for us, said Mrs. Jarr, "and, besides, I'm very short this week and ] have no money to pay for expensive dinners in public restaurants. Let the Bangles pay for it. They suggested it."
 You suggested it." said Mir Jarr
 But they asked us to dinner at their house, and she has no girl and she always has chicken, and I'm tired of chicken" said Mrs. Jarr. Her chicken is always tough and half cooked, tool"
 Well, we're escaping that" replied Mir Jarr. "so don't get peevish.'
 I do get peevish because you are such a softly you let everybody impose on you." said Mrs. Jarr. If we have to pay half the bill I don't see what advantage there is in going out to dinner with other people. When ons is afraid one will have to pay the bill one orders all the cheap dishes, and doesn't order very much at that Oh. we'll, don't suppose there is any use to worry But you mind what I say,

The Child as an Asset.

There is undoubtedly a very grave problem connected with the birth rate The church in past times furnished religious motive for large families. and this tended to counteract the natural tendency of the birth rate to decline from economic causes as the period of infancy came to be prolonged in an advancing civilization, says a writer in the Springfield (Mass) Republican. If the religious motive be destroyed, the economic forces making for fewer children must enjoy freer scope, and as the cost of living rises and the financial burden of rearing and edu- eating children through long series of years becomes heavier for the aver age parent to bear the scare over race suicide is likely to be the more pro nounced. Making the child, however, once more pecuniary asset of the parents at a tender age would be SUI. cidal to civilization itself.

 At this juncture Mir. and Mrs. Ran gle joined them and the two-family party went downtown together.
 You order" said Rang,e, handing the menu over to Mr. Jarr, when they were seated in the restaurant
 No, you order" said MT. Jarr
 "l wish we hadn't come to this place. I'm not at all dressed" said Mrs. Jarr, as she glanced around.
 Neither am l." said Mrs. Rangle, but we're just as good as they are
 What do you ladies want?" asked MT. Rangle.
 "Is the chicken good?" asked Mrs Jarr of the waiter.
 The waiter had nothing but praise for the chicken. He worked there, but he didn't eat there
 Well, l won't have any" said Mrs Jarr. ''The only person that knows how to cook chicken properly is Mrs Rangle. You must tell me how to do it, dear. Look at that woman over there. Just look at her!" Mrs. Rangle looked and Uttered
 Never mind the people here," said MT Jarr, what are you going to or. der?"
 If you were here alone you would be minding them," said Mrs Jarr But when you are with your wife and respectable people"
 What do men see in such crea- tures?" remarked Mrs Rangle, acidly
 T don't know, but they are the kind they seem to prefer," said Mrs. Jarr
 It looked like pleasant evening" not. And MT. Rangle suggested that they order the dinner.
 After debating everything on the card, they ordered fricasseed chicken, as it was about the cheapest thing.
 The waiter was misinformed. The chicken wasn't good.
 There's one piece of bread left" said Mir. Jarr, with forced gayety Whoever eats it will be an old maid"
 Whoever eats the last piece will make a happy and prosperous mar rinage." said Mrs. Rangle And both she and Mrs. Jarr reached for it, and compromised by breaking it in half
 Funny you women should be so SUI perstitious, You both are married" said MT. Rangle
 We may marry again, and have bet ter luck next time" said Mrs Rangle coldly
 Oh it was jolly dinner party. NIT. Rangle paid the check. But that was because it was only s210. Mrs Jarr said.
 There is nothing like going out with your friends and having a good time

TRAIN CHILDREN FOR EARN
Trade ScsooIs Have Been Foune Good, Why Not Include Teach
 ing of Agriculture?

Prof. Paul Hanus of the Harvard summer school told 800 teachers whe are students in the school about tht need of the trade school as an exten sion of the public school to save mi lions of American children from tho calamity of starting in life as un skilled laborers Starting so, the pro lessor said, means no career.
 "All their lives they must be under lings, except in rare instances" The same day or the next, Secretary Will son was saying in Washington.
 While the population of the United States has been steadily increasing through the usual additions at home and from immigration, the cultivated area Of the country is decreasing Thousands of acres formerly raising products that made the food of the country have gone back to pasturage. The farmers simply cannot get the men to raise crops"
 It is by no means a bad idea to teach farming to some of the prospec. tive unskilled laborers. As it is. in the east at any rate, the farmers boy is apt to see his best chance in learn ing to be some sort of mechanic. Skilled labor is everywhere needed.
 The problem for the boy of 14 or 1o who expects to work with his hands is to give him the skill to work to ad- vantage To that end the experts ip public education now advocate the es- tablishment of trade schools to give a vocational training to children who now leave the public school at II Very we'll the plan looks good But please include farming in the voca. tions for which training is to be given and try to make that look better as compared with the rival employments, -Harper's Weekly
