Helping The Young
By Mrs. H. w. Dalton

To begin with il might be good
thing if boys and girls had a chance
to make a careful choice of their
parents, because if tie parents
are not right the children are apt
t. go wrong: and they are more af-
fected by what is behind than what
is before. The wonder often is that
they do anything as we'll as they do.
They should have a chance to make
choice of the place to be born in;
they should be born in the country.
Every child has a right to be we'll
born. / am very much interest
ed in the subject of eugenics:
and l do not think, for instance.
that the insane, or the diseased
should be allowed to be mothers
and fathers If we sow tares we
can not reap wheat. The saying
"give me child the first ten years
of his life' is such a trne one. 1t
shows US what power we have in our
hands. If you have child for at
least ten years of its life and your
influence is right, there will not be
much wrong afterwards. We moth
ers have great deal of power-e7en
without vote-if we only use it as
well as we might do. There is so
much power in our hands for good.
We have the delicate plastic things
in our hands. and it is for MS to
make of them what we will even
with all they inherit there is so
much in the home influence.
Good health for our boys and girls
is easier to obtain in the country:
though even in the county ! think
we oIten close our windows and
draw down our blinds and shut out
the fresh air and sunshine. We
should do we'll to have more fir sh
air sleeping places. If you have not
these one of the simplest ways is
by givipg-the boys at any rate
a sleeping tent and put them out at
housekeeping time. They will be
happy enough; and let them have
their friends-and this helps to
make them more satisfied with
home-it is much less trouble Ia
have them sleeping in tents than If
the house. They can make fthei,
own beds. etc. This article will
be continued in next issue.

Sir Henry drew up the plan, the
name "Primroes League" being for
mally adopted at a dinner given by
the late Lord Glenesk, proprietor of
the London Morning Post The fol-
lowing day in the card room Of the
Carlton Club, Lord Randolph Church
i'll, Sir Alfred Slade, Sir Henry Drum
mond Wolf and Sir John Gorst met
to draw up the first scheme of rules,

and advertising the movement.
The growth OF the movement was
extraordinary While the league be-

years later, while in 1891 the knights,

Today there are nearly 5000 habita-

nearly, 100000 Could anything at
test more strongly to the popularity
of the great statesman, Disraeli?
Some doubt exists as to whether
the primrose really was Disraelrs
favorite flower. but the fact that
Queen Victoria sent an immense
primrose wreath to be placed on his
coffin. with a card attached on which
her majesty had written, His favor
ite flower" settled the belief that
Lord Beaconsfield had a passionate
regard for the primrose. The asser-
ton that Queen Victoria only had her
late prince consort in her mind and
that it was really his fondRess for
primroses that she remembered is a
cheap fabric of the Jew" premier's
detractors.
II is given as an authentic incident
and there is a curious picture il
existence bearing out of the story
that when Beaconsfeld visited Tor
quay in 1863 he called upon his friend
Mrs Bridges Williams who, on his
arrival, not only presented him with
bunch of primroses, but also had
the dinner table decked with similar
flowers, and upon Disraeli express

Not a little confusion exists in the
minds of many people regarding the
origin of the Primrose Leage the
great conservative organization of
Great Britain. which at the present
time boasts of a membership Of near
~ 100000. and which last month
celebrated IFS thirtieth anniversary.
As a matter of fact. April 10 is the
thirtieth anniversary of the founda-
tion of Primrose Day, when the con-
seryatives wear the flower in honor
of the late Lord Beaconsfield.
II is popular belief that Sir
George Christopher Birdwood origi-
nator OF prismroro Day also was tho
founder Of the Primrose League, but
he stated recently he had nothing TO
do with the Primrose League. which
was established some time after the
celebration of Primrose Day had be-
come popular.
