Princess Bonnie.

For several weeks previous to the
Fourth rehearsals for the opera "Prin-
cess Bonnie" were held under the di-
cection of A. J. Winterton, and the
success of the production, when pre-
sented to the public on the evenings of
July 4th and 9Th, bore evidence of the
work put into the entertainment by
all concerned. We are not expert
enough, as a critic, to attempt to
analyze the work of each character,
but the production as whole was far
above the usual, either professional
or amateur. The opera was given
under the auspices of the Civic I'm
provement association and Melted
that society about $40, which will
be used judiciously to further the
work already begun. The cast of
characters in the opera is here given ::

THE CAMPHoR LANGUAGE.
Used In Johore Because of a Malay
Superstition.

Superstition.
In Johore. on the Malay peninsula.
there is employed one of the straugest
languages in the world. used for a
most curious purpose. This tongue is
called Pantang Kapor or "camphor
language" and is medium employed
by natives and others engaged in gath
ering the product of the Malayan cam
phor tree. but only when they are at
work.
1t Is a superstition of these natives
that should they use the language Of
the district, the Malay or the aboriginal
Jakun. they would be unable to obtain
their camphor.
The Malay natives firmly believe
that each species Of tree has spirit or
guardian angel that presides over its
affairs, this spirit being known by the
name of Bisan. This divinity's resting
place is near the trees. Then, too. the
spirit of the camphor tree is held to be
extremely jealous of the precious gum.
so that it becomes necessary to propi-
tate her. inasmuch as she would.
should she learn that hunters were in
quest of it, endeavor to interpose OBJ
stacles to their mission. Accordingly
the natives speak in tongue that the
tree spirit may not understand. 1t was
for this purpose that the mysterious
''camphor language" was invented. and
it consists of an odd mixture Of Jakun
and Malay words that have been Gu
riously altered and reversed.-Harper' 8

Bav Rum,

Bay rum is manufactured from the
dried leaves of Pimento acris. Bay
rum is procured by distillation. and
this in a very simple manner. The
leaves are picked from the trees and
then dried. In this state they are
placed in the retort, which is then fill
ed with water, and the process Of dis
tillation is carried on. The vapor is
then condensed in the usual way and
forms what is known as bay OIL"
very small quantity of which is re
quired for each puncheon Of rum.

NO THoJDlE OCCURS
 ON THE WEST COAST

Conditions nave as no time been such as to arouse any apprehension on the West Coast of Mexico during recent agitation and are now quite normal The talk of trouble in the sister republic however is bound to have its effect in intimidating cap ital and keep ng back investors, thu. retarding progress. The Banco de Sonora recognizes this and tells of conditions in letter 1t has written. a copy of which was received by William Foster of this city who re sided in Hermosillo for seven years. This letter comes as a sort of Christmas and New Years greeting and is as follows:
 Hermosillo, Sonora, Dec. 2i, 1910. To Our Friends. Greeting:
 Having become aware that cer- tain periodicals with large circula, tions in the United States have pub lished reports indicating political d g. turbances in this vicinity, we take this means of advising our friends. and those interested in the develop ment of this section. that there has been no trouble whatsoever O. any descr ption anywhere on the West coast of Mexico. and that there is, furthermore, not the slightest reason for expecting any.
 The ill-starred attempt at sedition instigated by a handful of malcon- tents. has been confined to small mountain section in Chihuahua, and is at present we'll under control of the federal authorities.
 Business in ,his state has gone on just as usual and investors in mines and lands in Sonora and other states along the West coast of Mexico, have engaged in operations totalling hun dreds of thousands of dollars, during the very time that reports had US in the throes of revolution.
 Best wishes for Merry Christ mas and Happy New Year.

Rsdtim. For childr.n.

Sunsef should be the time for every child under eight years of age. When the chickens go to roost and twilight begins 10 deepen the country baby's head begin 10 droop. and he Is ready for his cot. The more nervous town baby, who has nothing for an example exceps the sun and who at any rate on rainy days is used to twilight at uosphere at midday. seldom wishes
 , go to bed with the chickens.
 If he lives in an apartment he must hear drifting down the hall the tan talking voices of his elders at dinner, and the smell of savory things from the kitchen greets his nostrils. But, hard as it must seem, the city mother must have even more rigid rules about bedtime than the country mother. Her child is al greater disadvantage in the first place in not living where he can breathe the purest air in the midst of healing country sights and sounds. The distractions of city life are so numerous and so varied that city bred children need more repose than children in smaller towns or the country.

* Points
 For Mothers

Children often unintentionaiiy make mischief between neighbors and friends. but it is wise not to attach too much importance to the tales they bring us. for their fancies carry them away and beyond the realms of fact In neighborhood where there are many children it is well to eliminate their opinions of one another. They are largely controlled by prejudice, likes and dislikes founded on nothing.
 The mother who gives ear to the tales of her own child about some little playmate should first stop and think 1t out carefully before she demands an explanation or shows snger. She should not always take it for granted that her child Is truthful and the neighbours little one untruthful. It is perfectly right that every mother should have confidence in her own off, spring. and she should not let them know if she does doubt them, but they must be sure that their children have not allowed their imaginations. sensi- dveness and prejudice to color their reports.
 It is perfectly true that many moth CTS do not know their own children. They may be perfectly obedient and respectful at home. and when they go put from home, where parental author fly is not enforced. they may show another side to their nature and be disobedlent unpleasant and imperti- nert to others. The parents never see them in such nlOods and cannot suspect the change In their conduct. Neverthe- less 1t is not an infrequent occurrence, more's the pityi
 Therefore the wise mother will shut her ears to tales borne by her children and treat them as jokes to be laughed at rather than as serious matters to be taken up and noticed.
 Lifelong friendships Nave been jeop- ardized because foolish parents have treated as serious matters the differ snces and aaimosities of the little ones.

 Every school in the state must gre main open at least six months in each year. the schools will be open to all children between the ages of six and twentyone.

She keers in touch with the homes, and has the cooperation of the board of health, who visit any re ported III and thus all excuses must be legitimate Kindness has also played a large part in the work of the attendance matron.

Nail Ritina.

Nail biting is a very common habit among children and is often the result of an extremely nervous temperament
 It is good plan to take such child 10 a doctor. who will probably give him good tonic to brace up the nerv- ous system.
 The child should also have pointed out to him how ugly his nails and fin gers are getting. Show him how to keep his nails clean and well trimmed and try to induce him to take a pride In them.
 A good plan is to interest him in kin dergarten work of some kind that will keep both his hands and brain em- ployed. If this is done the chances are that very soon the habit will disap- pear

Toy. Should eo w..h.ble.

Do not let little child play with toys that cannot be washed with soap and water. A small child is very likely to put his piayfhings into or up to his mouth and these playthings are often thrown by his small majesty on to the noor. where the dust from the street is deposited. either by breczcs or from doors and windows or by the feet of grownups.
