lille rule advises something totally
different.
After all the rules of procedure in
making perfect man or woman out
of the plastic material of the chilli
vary according to that material. A
child born with certain tendencies and
strong bias in certain directions
should not be ruled as should a child
who has opposite tendencies and
preferences. We make mistakes in as
sorting that child has traits by in
heritance, before that child. 1t is i'm
possible to tell just when a child be-
gins to understand more than we
dream it is comprehending Certain
things come to children "out of tine
air." 1t really seems that there is
truth in the statement, but we have
ta)iI of Older people. To state that a
child does certain thing like an
older person makes a condition that
the child is vain enough to think in
teresting. Why should he not think
so when 1t centers talk upon his small
self?
woman who is noted for unselfish-
ness told me that she was a very sell
fish child. She was the youngest and
her older brothers were a loving, in
dulgent set of youngsters. Little sis
ter" had to have everything she liked.
AS she grew older her parents tried
to shame her by calling attention to
her selfish habits and contrasting
them with those of the boys She
AYERS that she remembers reasoning
1t out in her baby brain that she
,fcyrf nu he
the name She would get more by it.
So until she. was old enough to COR
rect the ugly trait because she so de-
sired, she was accounted a selfish
child.
Her parents made that rule for her.
1t was their fault. She would have
been easy to divert into a more noble
course, but she could not be driven.
II might have worked in some chill
dren, but not with this child
Never talk of childrens faults be-
fore others. Ii they have traits that
you deplore do your mourning in pri-
vate. Let no other child hear you
and never tell of a child's traits that
you dislike as If they were virtues.
That Is a common fault with mothers
and fathers. To say a child has his
fathers temper makes the child feel
that he is not responsible. When a
child is pert and impertinent to say
she is like some of her relatives is to
confirm her in admiration for her con-
duct.
Children do not love the shining ex-
amples held up for emulation 1t Is
natural for John to throw mud on
Reginald's clean lSnickerbockers il
those knicKerbockers have been held
up to him as an example he would do
well to pattern after. Half the UNI
kind gossip among older people is
rooted In the spirit which prompts his
act. why then make 1t so hard for
John?
The same rules hold for all children,
after all Kindness, love and good
cenEaon sense, and &C. honest desire

Franz Joseph, emperor of Austria. The
committee has communicated with the
Kaiser Wilhelm and expects that he

AS a prelude to the big festival the
sacngerbund recently held contests for

which Konrad Mes Of San Francisco
won the first prize of 800 for his

The Practical Shower.

A young woman much beloved in her
neighborhood was to be married, and
this delightful shower was arranged:
She had grown UP from babyhood on
the same street and one of her mo-
theirs friends suggested that the neigh
bors contribute the price of a dozen
napkins and tablecloth. Then they had
a thimble party and the linen was
hemmed and monogramed. The bride
was perfectly delighted Try this when
planning a linen" shower. 1t was
no more costly than for each guest to
give a separate bit Of linen. The same.
idea has been carried out in sheets and
pillowcases, also towels. BY the way.

FAMOUS NURSE
dies AT LONDON
FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE, GAN.
GEL-oF-THE- cRIMEA," sUc-
cUMBs TO ATTACK OF
HEART FAILURE.

London, Aug. 16.-Florence Nightin-
gale, the famous nurse of the Crimean
war, and the only woman who ever re-
ceived the order of Merit, died at her
London home. Although she had been
an invalid for long time, rarely leav-
ing her room where she passed tho
time in a half recumbent position and
was under the constant care of a ply
sician, her death was somewhat unex-
pected. An attack of heart failure
brought the end. r
Her funeral will be as quiet as pos
sible in accordance with her wishes.
On May ~ she celebrated her Goth
birthday and was the recipient of a
congratulatory message from King
George.
Florence Nightingale was born on
May 10, 1920. She was the first woman
to follow modern army into battle as
a nurse, and in the Crimean war she
gained the title OF Angel of the
Crimea." She studied nursing under
the Protestant Sisters of Mercy at
Kasirwerth, Germany, and returned to
England when the Crimean war broke
out. She organized a corps of volun-
teer nurses, whom she led into the field
and was especially celebrated for her
noble services at Scutari.
At the close Of the war she was en-
abled by a testimonial fund, amounting
to $250,000, to found an institution for
the training of nurses, the Nightingale
home at st. Thomas hospital. She
also was the means of calling attention
to the unsanitary conditions Of camp
hospitals. King Edward bestowed upon
her the Order of Merit, the most exclu-
sive distinction in the gift of the Brit
ish sovereign.
There is strong feeling among the
general public and particularly among
the military men, in favor of public
funeral for Florence Nightingale.
There is little doubt, however, that
her expressed wishes in this connection
will be taken into consideration.
Not even the death of a royal per-
sonage could have called forth more
universal poignant expressions of re-
greet and tributes of love and affection
than appear in the English papers.
