Objection to the Lords.

and so much In harmony with popular
wishes as to make rejection or amend

hardly bear the test Of fact. The educa-
ton bill Of 1902 and the licensing bill OF
1904 were both of them measures that
were velemently resented by majority
of the British people. They were pre-

cruelty of children to one another
The spirit of the bully is not con-
fined TO the age of trousers. Chill
dren who cry bitterly over a wound
ed bird will nevertheless turn about
and set upon some unfortunate
playmate whose physical shortcom-
ings invite attacks Or ridicule-that
which hurts far more than beating.
1t is an anomaly which is beyond
philosophy or argument, but every
teacher and mother knows that it
exists. Nothing is more lovable in
child than the spirit of gentleness
and kindness, especially toward the
mental or physical unfortunate. To
inculcate that spirit and to encour-
age it by appeal to the best that is
in the child is the highest mission
intrusted to the caretaker of the
young-vastly higher, permit us to
say, than instruction in the three

ment eard.-Manchester Press.

Cruelty of Children.

There is little crippled boy at
tenling the Manchester schools who
has also the misfortune to be cross
eyed. He is about ten years old-a
little dwarfed, delicate child. His
deformities have made him pitifully
timid, and he is as inoffensive as
a baby kitten. 1t would seem that
his very helplessness should excite
the pity and secure the protection of
his playmates who are strong and
vigorous, but this little unfortunate
is treated as if he were a stray dog.
Older boys and the younger ones
as well make sport of his infirmities,
ridicule him with epithets and nick
names that are the more cruel be-
cause of their appropriateness, and
he is kicked and cuffed about be-
cause, no doubt, he is unable to
defend himself. However, he may
have resented this treatment at first,
he has grown patient and uncom-
planning over it, accepting it as his
penalty for misfortunes for which
he is not responsible. The spectacle
is one to wiring the heart and arouse
deep resentment against the cruelty
which inspires it and wonder that
it should find it's source, of all pla-
ces, in the child heart.
There is no more sorrowful thing
in this world than the thoughtless

sHoEsTRINGs LOOK GOOD.
Leather and Oil Luxuries to Travellers
in the Arctic Regions.

New York, Sept. 20.-Even shoe
strings look good to hungry men in the
Arctic, especially if their food caches
have been raided and ruined by bears
and wolverines. Advices received by
Herman c. Rumpus, director of the
Museum of Natural History. from DR..
Rudolph Anderson and Vihljahlmr
Steffansson, who left New York for
the frozen north in May, 1908, show
that the two scientists have suffered
privations which made meals of leath-
er and oil seem luxurious.
The Anderson teffansson party.
which is making extended chronological
and geological collections on the shores
of Arctic America for the museum,
has travelled four hundred miles east
of the Mackenzie river, through re-
gions hitherto untraversed by ex-
plorers.
In the advices just received the ex-
plorers tell of a trying journey UP the
Horton river. Six persons were in the
party and they carried provisions for
two days. The trip took 1 5 days and
the hunting was bad. The party ate
whale tongue. which owing to its
fibrous nature, and to the presence of
sea salt was very sickening. When
the tongue was gone, they ate seal
skins, deer skins, sole leather and the
tough skin laces used on their snow
shoes. Then there was seal OIL about
a teaspoonful day for each man con-
sumed to keep away the ravages of
hunger. 1t was taken with deer skin
