Beliefs About Babies.

THE peasantry OF Greece firmly believe
that the future of every child is de-
termined by three fates known as the
Moral. The trio is supposed to be three
old and wrinkled women who dwell I'm a
mountain cave, and who come stimuli
taneousiy TO the house In which a new
BABY has made its appearance. In order
that their aged and uncertain feet may
not be hfndered. all furniture is care
fully set aside. and honey. cakes. bread.
and wine are set out SO that the impor-
tant though invisible guests may refresh
themselves. IL the household is suffi-
GENTLY wealthy to possess a little real
money. this. too, is placed on the table
with the food.
All things. good and bad. are in the
hands of the three fates. ON no account
must the child's beauty be alluded to
at the time when the visitors might lac
present. To do so would cause its good
looks to instantly disappear. Nothing
must be said to annoy or displease the
Moral, and this makes the situation a bit
dfffcult, one is quite sure what
might or might not displease them.
The idea that i'll luck will be the por-
ton of the child who cuts its upper teeth
first is found in several lands. Among
one or two African tribes this supersti-
ton is so strong that they regard 1t as a
mercy to promptly kill any child whose
upper teeth appear first, and they do 80.
Should a child grow up bad in China.
it is merely remarked that the parents
forgot TO bind its wrist. abiding to "A
very widespread superstition that IL Il
red cord is tied about an infants wrists
Ii cannot fail to grow UP quiet and
obedient
Spaniards lightly sweep the faces OF
their children with pine bouShs Ia order
to assure them happy future. To keep an
Irish baby from harm belt of woman's
hair is placed about il, and with the
same object the Roumanian mother ties
red ribbon around the ankles of her
infant.
In Holland. garlic. salt. bread and
steak are put in the cradle OF a newly
born child, 50 that IL may never want
for food during its lifetime. and in order
that the children of Wales may always
be protected, pair of tongs and a knife
are placed in each bed. In Iseland, tho
cutting of the first tooth IL celebrated
by giving TO the child tiny lamb.

THE CoNVICTs FAMILY.

Maude Ballington Booth interrupts
the discussion of prison reforms for
the amelioration of the lot of the Of
fender against the law with a peril
nent plea for consideration Of the
prisoners family, who suffer unde-
servedly when the law takes their
breadwinner away. Society does not
perform its full duty when, whether
in self-protection or with an altruistic
purpose of correcting and reforming
the offender, 1t takes an individual and
locks him up, and does not concern
itself in any official manner with the
fate of those who have been depend
ent on him. The suffering of the in
nocent for the offenses of others can
not be prevented absolutely, but the
reformers of the penal system should
not ignore this plea for justice.
Instead Of studying plans for the
introduction OF baseball and similar
sports as a advertisement in the mo-
notony Of prison life and as a means
for supplying the necessary physical
exercise, during the term under lock

might better devote their time to de-
vising means by which tn common
sentence of the law at hard labor
mag be carried out and the prisoner
taught that it Is a duty under the law
for man to earn an honest living.
The most important prison problem
OF today is that Of the employment
OF the prisoners. The mental, moral
and physical welfare of the men re
quires that they be kept busy; the
| discipline of the institution demands

THOSE NEW YORK CONVICTIONS.

Following a mastery charge to the
jury by Justice Goff in New York
courts the four Gotham gunner on
trial for the cold blooded murder of
Herman Rosenthal were found guilty
of murder in the first degree. After
being out only q minutes the Jury
unanimously agreed that the defend
ants were guilty.
This verdict, based upon evidence
which has astounded the people of
the entire nation-evidence which was
apparently corroborated beyond a rea-
sonable doubts a triumph for JUS
tice in the nations greatest city.
That any city could become so hon.
eycombed with the accompanying evils
of public gambling as was New York
is a disgrace in these days of modern
progress. The horrible story of whole
sale graft and barbarous slaughter
proves most emphatically to what un-
speakable etremes officially-protect-
ed vice can be carried.
There was fear among the people
when these astounding revelations
were made that a city in such a de.
plorable criminal condition would be
unable 70 obtain justice in the courts
Revelations about "jury-ixers" in
some other communities created
alarm that justice would be bound
and gagged in Gotham.
Quite the reverse seems to be true
! After a determined prosecution and
without the usual vexations and un
necessary court delays, Police Lieuten.
/ ant Becker was convicted. He now
awaits electrocution in Sing Sing. His
conviction has been followed by con
viction Of the dssperadoes who dis
posed" OF those who interferred with
the system Of graft.
This kind OF swift and accurate jus
/ tice will mean much to New York
not only in saving victims from the
I guns of hired murderers, but in saw
ing thousands of helpless and limo
cent victims of protected" vice.
Modern municipalities must consid
er the rsmifications OF those vices
They affect not only those who gamble
and murder, who mock the law, but at
feet all municipalities which in turf
directly affect our national life.
The cleaning up Of modern munici
palities is one Of the most importan
problems before the American peopl,
today.
The lessons Of these New Yorl
cases should not be lost to the peopl,
Of cities everywhere.
