But E~xasperated Suburbanite Was
Forced to Listen to Statistics
Until Patience Gave Way.

"Toads-" began the man who Is
always looking up queer statistics
BLAST the toads!" snapped the SUBJ
burbanite with the ham, the bag OF
-four and the lawn mower. Il am not
interested in toads."
"But you should be, sir. The toad
lays S. 1000 eggs annually"
Very extraordinary, but"
The female toad also lives to be a
thousand years old. Now, If a hen
could live to be a thousand years old
and lay 1000 eggs annually it would
take a cold-storage warehouse as big
as Maine, California and Texas, to
hold them"
Wonderful, but my train
STOOD on end the eggs would reach
from here to the noon and back and
leave enough to fill the Pacific ocean,

Useless job. The train is already
made. Listen to sense. After those
eggs filled the Pacific ocean it would
cause a tidal wave that would

But just then the exasperated sub
urbanite brought his bag of -four down
on the garrulous stranger. Then he

Old Men in Responsibility.

The American business system,

quite unaccountable. He wonders

Sometimes Suitor Seizes Girl by the
Hair and DraGs Her Home
Eskimos Marry Young.

Arctic women marry young and oc-
casionaly several times before they
are suited or suit their permanent
husbands, says the Pittsburg Gazette.
Arctic courtships are brief and there
is seldom lovemaking beforehand.
Usually a bachelor in search Of a
wffe-and Eskimos marry when yet
mere boys-goes to the house of the
fair one, seizes her by the hair or any,
where else that offers a firm hold, and
drags her to his home, she meantime
s~hrieking and struggling as If she
were being murdered, while her fam
lily gaze indifferently or smilingly on
at her courtship. The more high-bred
the girl the greater her struggles and
outcries and the longer she keeps
these up, 1t being considered the n
rect thing for her to carry on" for
two or three days, even to the extent
of running home after her place upon
the Eskimo bench-apportioned among
from three to ten families-has been
assigned to her.
In addition to his place and its warm
skins, her bridegroom often presents
her with a new lamp, lamp table and
water pail. Although the young hus-
band may be aware that his wife en-
tertains an affection for him. If she
carries her observance of her wedding

WILLING to Pay for Hammer.

When the British square at the bat
tie OF Abu Klea, in the Nubian des-
ert, was penetrated by the dervishes,
one of them attempted to spear a gun
ner who was in the act of ramming
home a charge. The Briton Drained
the Sudanese, but the rammer head
split on the mans hard skull. Next day
the gunner was sen for. Mistaking
the reason, and knowing from expert
ence that soldiers r charged for
government property which they
break, he led off with: please, sir,
I'm very sorry l broke the rammer,
but / never thought the fellows head
could be so hard. I'll pay for the
rammer SO as to hear no more OF

now spent in combating conditions
caused by the neglect of the proper
authorities to provide instruction
for those whose duty it is to care
for the children.
The home is the basis of society,
and no civic, social or physical bet
terment a be reached except
through intelligent, purposeful effort
to raise the standards of home life, of
marriage and its duties, of fatherhood
and motherhood, and of citizenship.
The God-given function of parenthood
is the highest. most far-reaching duty
of humanity, and the permanence and
~sacredness of marriage is the founda-
ton of society.
All students of social conditions
seeking the cause of crime and dis
ease. trace them to inefficient homes.
Money and infinite labor are expended
on charity, on the care of defective,
dependent and delinquent children, on
hospitals, reformatories, orphan asy-
lums and prisons. Practically nothing
is done to remove the causes which
lie far back Of the conditions, and
which are largely preventable.
Homes are inefficient because there
is nothing in our present educational
system to fit young people for wise
home-makers, intelligent parents.
broad-minded, public spirited citizens.
There is no provision by which young
parents may procure the knowledge
that is vital for the protection of the
life and development of the minds and
souls of the children committed to
their care. Instinct does not make
parents any more than it makes wise
specialists in any other branch Of
work.
The National Congress of Mothers,
from whose declaration of principles

is doing practical and efficient service
in seeking to reach every home, every
parent. and extend a knowledge of
child nurture. The congress is strong
ly urging such provision as will give
to parents the knowledge which will
do more than anything else to check
the evils which menace society.
The terrible death rate among in
fants can be checked only by giving
to every expectant mother the know1-
edge of what the baby needs in food,
sleep, clothing and care. The time has
come when every nation, through a
special department, should provide the
data concerning infants which may be
used by boards of health and mothers.
The parents associations and mothers
circles for the study of the welfare
of the child in home, school and state
should be co-extensive with the

Legislation can do much to prevent
the causes of unnecessary o~rphanage
by requiring employers to provide
safeguards for life and health. At the
same time a certain amount of whole
some manual work is necessary and
should be a part Of the system of ed
ucation from the kindergarten through
every school grade.
Decent housing and sanitary condi-
tons should be mandatory under the
supervision of boards of health. NO
community can afford to keep plague
spots in it's midst. Fairgrounds for
children should be mandatory and in
sufficient number in every neighbor-
hood to keep the children off the
streets. No children should be sub
jected to the criminal influences that
come from association with criminals
in courts, prisons and police stations.
Juvenile courts and a we'll organized
probation system should be a part OF
the system for child care in every
community. No child should be in an
almshouse, no child should be per-
manently placed in a family OF insti-
tuition without the authority Of the
court, and with a record that will
make it always possible to trace them.
Probation officers should be skilled
In homemaking, able to advise mothers
in all that goes to make a good
mother and a good housekeeper; able
to aid in problems of child care and
to guide difficult children into safe.
wholesome ways of life.
Mothers organized in every nation
to study the physical, mental and
moral growth of childhood, to study
community conditions affecting chill
dren with the purpose of making them
wholesome and helpful, is the funda-
mental step that will elevate the
standards of marriage, parenthood and
home life. and raise the physical and
moral tone of the race. This is the
laudable work that is being underta-
ken by the national Congress of
Mothers, and great good has already
been done along these lines. The an
nual meeting of the congress will be
held in Denver, June 1915, when prob
lens of child care will be discussed
by leading experts. Mothers, teach
ers and child lovers in general will be
welcome to the meetings.

schools which the children attend.
Study courses and Libraries for par.
ents should be provided for every par
ents' association. AS strength is
gained by unity of action, these asso-
Citations should unite in local, state
and national bodies in the cause Of the
welfare of the child, and in diffusion
of intelligent knowledge of it's re-
qusrements.
A thorough knowledge of the child's
physical needs will result in the elm
nation of many diseases due to
parental ignorance. A knowledge of
the high, holy and pure functions of
sex inculcated in the receptive minds
of children by parents would go far
toward preventing the social evil-il-
legitimate children, venereal diseases
and unhappy marriages. The knowl-
edge of how to develop honesty, re-
liability, purity of mind and respon-
sibility in children, would prevent
much criminalty. The laws of health.
particularly in relation to food, venti-
lation and sanitation, If thoroughly I'm
derstood and enforced, would have a
great influence on health of mind and
body.
The present methods of caring for
the dependent, neglected, delinquent,
defective and hayward children are
far from adequate. The care of chill.
dren in individual homes rather than
institutions and orphan asylums can
not be too strongly recommended.
The group system, with house-mother
and distinct family life, has proven
most successful in institutions. The
placing of hayward children in homes
where experts in child care may study
and guide them, instead of in reform
a%tories, is now advised by the leading
students of sociology.
Study of the physical conditions of
the child, which may be the chief
cause of moral failure, is highly i'm
portant. The teaching of speech to
deaf children, without the use of sign
language, should begin at ar early age.
The prevention of deafness may be &C.
complished by segregating the deaf,
thus preventing intermarriage and the
p~erpetuation of the defect. The pre-.
vention of blindness is possible
through widespread dissemination of
knowledge as to the cause and means
of prevention. with laws regulating

Another way of wooing is to visit

somewhat impatient of criticism. To

each of you has a different taste. To

the following story: He said that

to go into the garnet of his house n
morning and that the family cat fol-

windows was open, and when they en-
tered the garnet a frightened mouse
jumped out of the window, and the
cat, jumping after it, caught it in mid
air and, whirling round, jumped back
again into the same window.
