Meantime the diplomatic body has
not been able to agree as to the man
ner In which the /. legation quarter
should be Quarantined. The Ger
mans, Austrians and British are be-
hind the barred gates Of their own
quarters, and are advocating drastic
measures. The Japanese, who have
the largest community outside the

Russians in arguing the necessity Of
continuing diplomatic relations with
the Chinese foreign board. kat
William J. Calhoun, the American
minister, has adopted a middle course.
He has suggested the keeping within
the quarter all the guards and the ex-
clusion of the Chinese, except such
officials as have business with the To-
cations. The moderates are ridicul-
ing the others, declaring that they are
panic-stricken, while political motives
are openly voiced as actuating the

gosnel Some cities have gone so far as to pro-
hibit absolutely the sale of frecrackers ana nre
works while others merely limit frecrackers TO
length of three inches with view to eliminating
the deadly cannon cracker. All the more
progressive municipalities have put ban on the
toy pistols and the miniature torpedoes, which
in years gone by have probably caused more
deaths than any other similar destructive agent,
particularly among the younger children. In our
up-to-date cities it has been necessary for some
years past for a retail merchant to obtain
license or police permit to store and sell nre-
works, and thus 1t has been simple matter for
the authorities to put snuffer on the business
by refusing to issue such permits.
The accepted plan of providing safe and sane
celebration as a substitute for the old-time noisy
freefor.an jollifieation is to place the matter in
the hands of committee of prominent citizens.
which raises by subscription fund OF several
hundred or several thousand dollars, to defray
the expenses of the common celebration, just as
money is raised for street fair The popular
idea is to centralize the new-fangled Fourth of
July celebration. In some places this is done
literally by holding all the events OF the day at
some centrally-located rendezvous such as pub
lie square fair ground or a park. In other
instances there are three four, maybe half
a dozen "centers" of celebration located in as
many different sections of the city and designed
to give the residents Of each district a lively
Fourth without necessitating journey far from
home.
wide-awake committeeman who plan Fourth OF
July frolic in accordance with the safe and sane
ideals Of the twentieth century One of these
ambitions is to have something doing" every
minute of the day that critic can say that
things less lively in the old town than in the
days when every citizen could make his own
celebration in his own front yard The other pur-
pose is to arrange features that will enlist the
cooperation of the greatest possible number of
children that the little folks viii not feel that
they are being cheated out of their Fourth of
July fun and made to merely spectators
for the performances of the grown-ups.
This latter consideration explains why II is that
the average safe and sane Fourth includes ore
or more open-air plays or spectacles or drills in
which hundreds of school children and kin
derrartners take part appropriately dressed in
red. white and blue, and carrying flags other
suitable emblems of the occasion. These open
air fetes not wholly restricted TO the young
er members of the community though. Pageantry
has been growing rapidly in popular favor in this

England and elsewhere abroad--and of course
the Fourth Of July makes ideal occasion fer
such portrayal. particularly If it deals with

Many of the features of the safe and sane
Fourth are old friends familiar to us from the

there is the early morning salute of cannon and

Declaration of Independence by some local orator
and an address Of the day" by some celebrity

plan is retained. only now it is considered advan-
tageous to have the rockets and pinwheels and
all the other spark throwers set off by profess

in consequence apt to pay the price of blisered
hands and singed hair, il nothing worse.
and speaking Of fireworks brings to mind the
fact that daylight fireworks play a prominent part
in most of these new safe and sane celebrations
of the big summer holiday. OF course, daylight
fireworks are no new invention and they have
been used to some extent on the Fourth of July
for many years past. Only they have been hailed
of the vehicles of celebration specially adapt
ed to the safe and sane scheme, and the market
has been stimulated accordingly while the manu-
facturers have been encouraged by this new de
mand to Improve their offerings and give greater
variety in effects
The approved style of daylight fireworks con
sists of bombs in the form of large balls which
are shot aloft from mortars just as are the bombs
which now have conspicuous place in all preten-
tious displays of night fireworks. The discharge
of the gun from which the bomb is hurled sky

any lover of the old-fashioned Fourth and when
the bomb has attained a considerable height it

His Appetite

This is a capacious subject, wide
and deep and long. A boy, when ask
ed If he could name the three graces,
said, Yes; breakfast, dinner and sup
per-
He eats because he has an appetite;
he has an appetite because ne has to
have food; he has to have food be-
cause he has body to build, and is
building it entirely out of food-solid
and liquid foods. He has to build a
house in which his growing soul can
have plenty of room, which will also
be the machine for accomplishing his
mission in the world-all of 1t built
out of food. He is also accommodating
reserves with which to meet the drafts
that life's duties and exigencies will
make on him.
1t must also be said that the food
supply is partially used up in his
activities That is the way his body
assimilates the material, and it takes
food to keep him going. His first six
years are his most active time, and he
does not slow up much till he is 16.
At Is his brain is fully grown, though
his mind is not, and his heaviest eat
ing is just as he is finishing the brain
structure. SO we can say that the
two reasons for his great consumption
of food supplies are his constant activ.
tiles and his building enterprises
fuel for himself and material for his
building.
That appetite of his, unless it is
tempered with, is one of the most in
telligent of all the faculties with
which he works, and helps him solve
some vital and far-reaching problems.
His judgment viii help some when it
learns some things. But the appetite
is looking after his interests all the
time, desiring and discriminating and
appropriatiag and discarding. For the
building he is erecting and the machine
he is constructing out of his food, re
quire three things-a great variety
of material, the best quality and great
quantities. In his body are such ele-
ments as lime and phosphorus and
carbon and hydrogen and nitrogen
and others. They all come to him in
his food and are built into his body.
They must be In the right proportion.

No boy knows the proportion in
which he needs them at a given time
and no man can teach him. There IL

the day. To keep him from neglecting

the time: and to keep him from over

Mumps and bumps, ills and epochs
await him. The former is only one of
many diseases disputing his path or
logging his unsuspecting footsteps.
Millions of microbes infest the air and
the water, and certain squads Of them
have been detailed to concentrate
their whole attention on him.
But his epochs are experiences
which no vigilance of parents or ply
sicians or teachers can protect him
against. Every psychologist in our
country and in foreign countries has
said so. And so it is They have
prepared these entertainments for him
along the way and their invitation is
mandatory. He has to pass over the
bumps, as Major Powell had to pass
over the rapids of the Colorado river,
In exploring the Grand canyon.
Now let us try to get line on each
OF those epochs and see just what it
means, at the same time barking back
TO our own early days for verifcation.
Three general periods are clearly dis
Observation-Disclosures from birth to
six; childhood, from six to twelve;
adolescence, from twelve to twenty
two, or maturity Then there are lit
tie turning points within these periods,
so that we can say there are at least
seven stages of his road to manhood.
The bounds are fixed only in a general
way, for we know that one boy may
be seven or eight years in reaching
the six years stage. Notice more in
detail:
|. Babyhood proper, from birth to
three years. Several clear marks are
seen. Every action is automatic at
first. Senses connect up with the out
side world; slowly. Sights and sounds
and odors are identified. Imitation ia
the regnant law. He smiles and laughs
and fTowns in answer to your smiles
and laughter and frowns. He is inn
patient or loving as your are. He does
1t automatically and 1t costs you very
little. Be careful 1t is a golden pc
Rod with him. Play is his chief di-
version, but 1t is automatic.
Do two things for him. Give him
play. Give him something worth imi-
tating.

or seven. Along about seven he is
gliding over the first falls. but he will
not know what 1t is, unless he is told,
till he goes off to college and studies
Psychology. Imitation is still the chief
law of his life, play is still his chief
employment, but it has grown more
voluntary. He likes other children,
chiefly because he can play with them.
BY and by, he will play with them
mainly because he likes them. The
dramatic expression of himself in play
is normal He acts the part of an
other with pleasure. He prefers to
initiate grown men, especially men of
might and daring Without hesitation
