EARLY RISING BAD FOR BOYS
Londoner Maintains That Children Up
Before Sunrise Are Usually
Dull During Day.

London.-The old idea that It is
good for boys to get up early and hus-
tie about was vigorously assai1ed at a
public inquiry at Spring gardens into
the London county council bylaws
regulating the employment of children
under fourteen.
Among the Witnesses was Mr.. Jack
man, a London county council head
master, who said employment in bar
bers' shops was particularly objection
able, as the boys learned to bet and
. talk about horses and horse racing.
Young children who had to get up
early were liable to be dull during the
day.
ITO say 1t is not natural for boys to
20 to bed at 7:30 Is beside the point"
- doctor said, In commenting on the
evidence. THE natural thing to do is
TO sleep when you are tired and get up
when you wake.
"Children Of fourteen want quite
nine hours sleep and should not have
10 work so that their systems are
.overtaxed.
"If they do it is quite probable that
getting up in the dark on raw winter
mornings will. particularly when they
have to trudge through snow and
h1ush, give rise to bronchial and lung
trouble. They are not in a condition
TO resist chills.
but you never hear of a well fed
boy who rises with the dawn to go out
and amuse himself coming to any
harm. 1t doesn't do to coddle boys
and 1t is wicked to oyerwork them.
Dyerworked children are failures as
adults. physically If not mentally"

W0MEN'S DEBT TO ANCESTORS
Tragic Figures Were the Militant
Members of the Sex in the
'40s and SOS.

1t was this attitude of the mass of
OF women, unsympathetic and often
contemptuous as it was, toward the
early agitatOrs for woman's rights,
that made the position of the militant
woman hardest in the '40's and $685.
She was then, and always has been,
a tragic figure, this woman in front
or the Woman's movement-driven by
great unrest, sacrificing old ideals
TO attain new, losing herself in a fran
tic and frequently blind struggle,
often putting back her cause by the
Sad illustration she was of the price
that must be paid to attain a result
1t was, and is, common to speak slight
lngly of her, but it is uncomprehend-
ing.

WATER NECESSARY FOR LIFE
Proof That Wine Will Not Serve the
Purpose Where Frenchmen
Are Concerned.

The French schooner Argus, strug
Cling against headwinds to get from
Dieppe to Marseilles, according to the
dispatches, ran out of water and for
three days the crew had nothing but
champagne and claret to drink. Near
ly every man was disabled by fever
and acute gastritis. 1t was with the
greatest gratitude that the captain OF
the Argus swapped several cases OF
champagne for few barrels of water
from the Oceana, Bombay liner.
Pathologists will say correctly that
there is nothing new in this expert
ence. That wine will not take the
place of water and keep men in good
condition, has been known as long as
wine has been known. Three ele
ments, however, in the story of the
Argus make it striking lesson, EN-
phasizing an old truth First, the men
were Frenchmen, with the French
mans habit of taking wine daily; sec
ond, the wines they drank as a substi
tute for water were presumably pure
and the claret at least was relatively
light; third, the three days is a very
short period for the disabling of 2
whole crew.
1t Is mighty lucky for the human
race that a water trust is conceded
impracticable. ~..

The British Census,

In England a census is taken every
seven years. In the United States the
work costs some s5,O0O,OOO; in Eng.
land, with population of $4,000, 900,
the work is done by regular public of.
hcials without extra cost. There the
census is taken on certain day at a
certain hour, usually Saturday at II
p. M, because most people are then
at home. Printed circulars have been
sent by the police to every family
and to the owners of all lodgings and
hotels. These circulars contain blanks
which must be filed. The police round
up passers in the streets. Sometimes
cranky Englishman who, for rea.
sons OF his own, does not want to
figure in the census, tries to evade the
government by riding around ali night
in cab. Ten chances to one he will
not succeed in his purpose. Cabs are
stopped as unhesitatingly as are street
cars or pedestrians. The government
wants to know. The government will
not be denied. The work is done sim.
ultaneously throughout the United
Kingdom.

to work Just published by the Bible
Publishing Company, of Moravian

thur T. Abernethy Dr. Abernethy.
VINO IS the author of three volume
history of New York, and several
other historical works of international
recognition was, during the life of
King Leopold, personal friend of the
King and is the author of a book on
the Congo Free State, dealing with
his extensive study of the conditions
OF the colored races in various parts
of the world. The Importance of the
historical work just issued by the
Dixie Publishing Co., is increased by
the fact that it is written by a white
man who is famous On both sides of
the water and who deals with the
subject without fear or favor. DR..
Abernethy is one of the one hundred
Ar>>can authors elected by the
America\ Association for the Ad-
vancemenA of Science, and by birth. a
Southern man. The book which is
entitled: "The Jew a Negro" proves
by jewish historians and copious quo
taticIs from the Old and New Testa-
r>Cnt. that the Negroes occupied the
highest positions in Bible times. and
are the directdescendants of Noses
Abraham, David, Solomon, and the
other patriarchs. 1t goes farther and
declares that these great Biblical
characters were colOred men, and rea-
sons it out with the historical daring
and evidence which ought to make
every ambitious colored person want
to read the book. This book is print
ed on the best book paper, bound in

The ameer has published an edfct,

Guiding embroidered kullas lungis and

hard earned money on showy dress. It
Is the poorer classes who are notori-
ously addicted to this extravaganza,

although the ameer has acted wisely
IN bringing into general use clothing
less costly, his majestys orders will
doubtless be received by his subjects

A Lucky Fugitive.

ExGov, William S. Taylor Of Ken.
tucky is lucky man. After having
been indicted for participation in the
murder of Gov. Goebel he fled to In
diana. The chief executive of the
Hoosier state was a Republican, and
when Gov. Beckham made a requisi-
tion for Taylor it was refused. Now
there is to be inaugurated a Demo-
cratic governor of Indiana, and if
there should come request from
Kentucky for Taylor it would be
granted. But no such request is to
be made. Kentucky has Republican
governor and he is willing that Tay-
lor remain where he is.

1000 years; now this Pandora's box
of latent savagery, which has been
fearfully held down by iron imperial

GREAT CANADIAN GLACIER,
Formation Of Ice Archway an Annual
Phenomenon

Phenomenon.
Eight thousand and four feet of ice
high is the Yoho glacier Of Canada.
Since the first discovery Of this larg-
est of Canada's glaciers it has main
tanned grand archway Of ice at its
lower extremity. The span of thi.
arch is no less than 25O feet, and its
height is estimated at 70 feet, while
from beneath the arch the drainage
escapes
The formation Of the arch seems to
be an annual phenomenon. Toward
the close of the summer it becomes
weakened by melting, and the whole
structure collapses. The ice gradual
ly is broken up and finally removed,
and the formation of a new archway
Is commenced
FronH the archway issues the Yoho
river. It is calculated that an ava
lanche must have occurred in 1850 or
1860. Since then the retreat of the
glacier has been at the average rate
Of five or six feet year. From Au-
gust, 1901, to August, 1904, it was
found that the retreat had been III
feet, or 81 feet year. Between Au-
gust, 1894 and August. 1905. the gla-
cier receded but nine feet, and is now
thought to be checked.
About the nose Of the glacier there
is evidence Of bodily disruption Of
the rock strata, to which the term
''plucking" is applied. Rock layers
are ripped Off where the layers are
thin bedded and pointed, and the frag-
ments are pressed into the ice to as
sist in further work.
The Yoho glacier Is an almost if not
entirely isolated example of glacier
as a great engine of erosion. Other
glaciers move forward and are engines
Of transportation.
