What is the outlook for its future Have
the ardent hopes of its friends been real
led At ills founding the bureau hao
many enemies even among leading social
workers Have any of the forebodngs OF
these unfriendly critics been justified?
These were some of the questions sug-
gested by the visit to this city last week
of Miss Julia c. Lathrop. chief Of the
bureau and the first woman TO be made
head of a great governmental department

Perhaps most encouraging is the knowl-

ATTRACTIONS At THE PLAYHOUSES
Child LnhOr.

John Morgan is rich factory owner
with one child, Grace five years old.
At the factory Morgan decides his pay
roll is too big, so, after talking the
matter over with his foreman, he gives
out the edict that all his men are to be
laid off. The next day big sign is
pasted on the factory gates, stating
that little girls are wanted to make
artificial flowers. Many children ap-
ply, and the little daughters of the old
workmen are forced to do their faith
ers' work in the big factory. James
Martin, good kind father, tries to get
other employment, but finds it useless.
When he thinks Of taking his little
ones away from school his heart is al
most broken. But finally they, too,
have to join the little army at the fac
tory gates.
One day Grace visits the factory,
and Billie, the office boy, takes her
through the works. She sees the suf-
fering of the little ones, and realizes
the truth, She helps at little girl with
her tasks and bathes the forehead of

SURGERY ON THE SKULL.
The Operation Of .Trepannins Was
Common In Ancient Times.

inc operation OF 'Irepannlng Was
Common In Ancient Times.
While the medical profession is
agreed that some rough form Of sur
gerry must have existed from very an
clent times, 1t has always been mat
ter of wonder that so complex and deli
cate an operation as trepannlng should
also be one Of the oldest.
There is authentic record Of this op-
Grafton dating back to the time of Hip
pocrates who wrote treatises on frac-
lures, dislocatiOns and wounds of the
head, wherein he described the method
of procedure to be followed in the case
Of a fractured skull. His idea was to
cut away a piece Of bone so that the
pressure on the brain might be relieved.
The annals Of this era also show that
a file was used for this purpose, which,
at a time when modern anaesthetics
were unknown, must have been, to say
the least, painful.
According to Holmes, the operation
Of removing pieces Of bone was per.
formed long before historic times. The
effects on the skull are easily seen after
death and are visible as long as the
bones are preserved, From inspection
of certain skulls of the later stone age
in ancient Britain there has been de-
rived the conclusion that some Of these
had undergone the operation, which
must have been performed with stone

FEAT OF A FOX.
Its Remarkable Display of Cunning In
Securing a Meal.

Its Remarkable Display Of Cunning In
Securing a Meal.
In field Of feeding hares foxes have
been observed to approach with slow,
llmping motion and holding down their
heads, as If eating clover until they
were near enough to secure their prey
The following Is an extraordinary In
stance Of fox cunning: One week when
the ground was frozen, but bare OF
snow, farmer placed hen under Il
strong, heavy chicken coop. The coop
was boarded on one side and lathed on
the other, the lower lath within an inch
Of the ground, which was smooth, but
sloping, with a furrow-lIke depression
few inches in depth about two feet
up the slope.
In the morning the hen was gone
The coop stood Immediately over the
depression, the laths bearing numerous
impressions Of an animals teeth, and
the small one at the apex was scratch
ed by It's claws.
The fox had wasted no strength on
the board trying TO push the coop over
in an uphill direction, but he tried his
best on the other side. Failing in this,
he bit and tore at the laths to break
them and finally drew the coop up the
hill over the hollow, dragged out the
hen and made Off, leaving no blood,
very few feathers and only three Of his
hairs on the laths,-uarper Weekly.

THE MAKING OF WORDS.
Curious Origin of Some Of Our Most
Common Expressions.


In the Romance of Words" a pub
lication by an English author, much
space Is devoted to "aphesis," which
means a gradual or unintentional loss
Of an unaccented vowel at the begin
ming Of n word This kind Of word
shrinkage Is more common than one
might suppose.
Sometimes the middle syllable Of a
word will be slurred to the point Of
extinction. From Mary Magdalene,
fearful and penltent, comes the word
maudlln. Sacristan is contracted into
sexton; the old French word paralyse
becomes palsy; hydropsle becomes
dropsy, and the word procurator be-
comes proctor in English. Bethlehel
Hospital For Lunatics, established in
London, came to be tcescoped into
bedlam, much as Cholmondeley came
to be .Chumlcy and Majoribanks
Marshbanks. Peel Is for appeal, mend
for amend, lone for alone, fender,
whether before fireplace or outside u
ship, Is for defender; fence for defense,
talnt for attaint.
The word peach, commonly regarded
as English thief slang, goes back to
the time Of Shakespeare and Is relat-
ed to impeach, though used to indicate
informing against an accomplice. The
word cad is for Scotch caddIe, once an
errand boy, now familiar in connection
with golf, Caddie is from the French
word cadet, meaning Junior or young

He pulled down the hospital dedicated
to st. James the Less and on It's site,
as HOlinshed tells us, built a goodly
manor and made faire parke for his
greater comoditie and pleasure" The
palace stood in the midst Of fields well
stocked with game, and these were
lnclosed as its private demesne. Even
while residing here Henry held his
court first at Westminster and then at
Whitehall after he had taken the lat
ter palace from Wosey. 1t was not

stroyed by fire, that St James pal

Table Manners for Children
By MRS. FRANK LEARNED

gatory. Children should be taught
to wash their hands and smooth their
hair before coming to the table.
A very small child may have a nap
kin fastened round the neck but old
er children should do as grown per-
sons do-partly unfold a napkin and
place it across the knees.
1t is important to teach children
not to tidget in their chairs; not to
sit too close to the table, but not too
far away. as either position is awll-
ward; not to Crumble bread; not to
play with silver, and not to amuse
themselves by making marks on the
tableCloth.
Girls are served before boys This
courtesy should be accorded by boys
to their sisters.
Essential things are to eat soup
from the side of a spoon and not to
make a noise when eating il; not to
hold fork awllwardly or over
hand" TO eat slowly and to keep the
mouth closed while eating. and not
to talk while food is in the mouth.
To wipe the mouth with a napkin
before and after drinking; not to
leave a spoon in cup for a mo-
ment; TO place fork and knife to-
gether on the plate when one has
finished.
Although children should not be al
lowed to complain of their food or TO
be "fussy' ii is not right to insist
that child shall eat what may be
distasteful.

TATURALLY. children look to
" their parents for examples of
what to do at the table or else
where. and, as they are very observ-
ing, initiative and quick in forming
habits, it follows that parents can
not be too careful themselves If they
would educate their children in good
manners. If they are interested truly
in the welfare of their children they
will train them in every small de-
tail of conduct, 1t is not just to-
ward children to make excuses for
careless habits on the plea that these
habits viii be outgrown in time Bad
manners at the table soon become
fixed habits, very difficult to change
as years go on, and will mark a per
son through life as having been ill
taught or neglected at home. and this
is. OF course, serious reflection on
parents.
Children who are brought up to
understand all the small details of
refined conduct will find these things
as easy and as familiar to them as
the alphabet. They will perform
them mechanically without hest
tatiug, and as a matter of habit.
Children should not come to the
table for very long or CeremoniouS
meals. In every well regulated
household punCtuality at meals is
expected out of consideration for
others. This is one of the earliest
lessons to be enforced. Extreme neat
ness in personal appearance is obh-

THO classical dancing means

sad thing that children should be
taught to be ashamed OF the
bodies that God gave 70 them.
The body Is beautiful and holy

this way. To keep II clean, and
pure, and healthy IS not enough
II should be reverenced as some

must be returned to Him unde-

shame that Is really immodesty
will be done away with. Then the
next step Is 10 have in the mind
thoughts worthy Of its own high
purpose and OF the finest ideals OF
bodily beauty. So through the
beautiful movements Of spontane-
Gus joy that go 20 make up the
