GREAT DANGER FOR TWO GIRLS

Gambler. Aug. 22.-Carried out by a
big wave, beyond their depth, two
daughters of Rev. Albertson of Cand-
Ter, Louise and Ruby, came near
drowning at North Lake Weir. No one
else being in the water with them their
danger was not known until it was al
most too late. y scream attracting the
attention of their father and mother at
their tent about 100 yards from where
they were bathing was the first init
nation of trouble and then to the
great CONSERVATION of the parents but
one of the girls could be seen. With
greatest possible haste, running and
swimming through the rough water
the father was at their side to find the
little sister being held above the wa
ter by the older one who was sub
merged entirely. She had jumped to
the surface once or twice and caught
some breath, also breathing some wa
ter. but had not lost consciousness or
her presence of mind. Only a moments
delay would have been fatal as her
face was already quite dark and both
were about being swept under the
waves. BY very great exertion the
father succeeded in taking the girls
to the shore through the heavy waves.
all being in imminent danger Miss
Louise readily recovered her strength
and has suffered no i'll effects from her
severe experience. Her GOODNESS alone
averted a tragedy.

MIRACLE IN
HUMAN ACHIEVEMENT

Not long ago. the civic authorities of
Schenectady appointed Miss Hlene KEEL
Ter a member of the local board of
public welfare. Behind this simple
statement is a miracle of human
achievement almost without parallel,
for, as most people know, Miss Keller
is deaf, dumb, and blind. In the face
cap she has been brilliantly educated
she has become a force for progress in
society; and now full-fedged city,
recognizing her talents, makes her one
of it's advisers.
Miss Keller's career is just one more
example of what will-power can
achieve Doomed to spend her life in
darkness and silence, and having only
her marvellous sense of touch to lead
her to intelligence and learning, she
has triumphed and become useful to
her generation. There has been moth
experience. 1t has been a question of
work, character and determination.
Here, then, is an inspiration for all
the world, and particularly for that
part of it which is dissatisfied with the
scheme of things, and which believes
that through circumstance, infirmity,
or some other reason it is not fairly
equipped for the great struggle. Miss
Keller began with crushing Affections,
yet she has risen supremely over them.

THE TRAINING OF MOTHERS

While we have talked and written
and agitated a great deal about the
conservation of our natural resources,
the French have taken the lead in a
conservation more important than all
this-namely, the training for mother
hood. horticulture, or the science of
rearing children, is taken very serious
ly in the Gallo republic, and is a mat
ter of deep public concern. One rea-
son for this anxiety is the fact that
last year the number of deaths in
France was nearly thirty-five thousand
more than the number of births.
The French are following that cele-
brated statement of oliver Wendell
HOlmes-that a mans education should
begin a hundred years before he is
born. AS result, the girls in school
are taught their coming duties in the
home as mothers of families and heads
of households. More stringent laws are
placed about the founding. All child
rem under two years of age whom their
mothers cannot raise are placed under
the protection of public authority.
Homes of rest have been established.
where women may gather strength for
child aring.-Munsey' Magazine.
