FROM OTHER PENS

CITY VS.. COUNTRY CHILDREN.
AS a hot weather advertisement some
speculation is going on as to whether
the city man is smarter than the coun-
try man. City newspapers have been
batting the country journals by taking
thea ffirmativesgsie le.--.-N Nothing, II is
pointed out. is more striking than the
difference in the quickness of mind
between street urchin and a country
child. On the affirmative side il is
argued that many factors contribute
to the advantages enjoyed by the city
child, such as wider opportunities,
constant contact with others and a
keener competition. 1t is even argue,l
that the city child is more alert and in
telligent because of the electricity in
the air, thrown out by telegraph wires
while wireless stations are projecting
constanting into the air vibrations of
incredible power, strong enough to
cross the Atlantic on occasion, and al
ways enough to carry hundreds OF
miles. The wasted electric current ac-
cording to some of the scientists, Is alb
sorbed by the city child's system, and
mental improvement results. Expert
ments nave been made on children in
rooms wired with electricity. and il is
asserted that they made more rapid
progress mentally than children who
We're not wired. Such questions as
these, however, cannot be decided Off
hand. The country child can be stupid
or bright, heredity, etc. The same thing
is true of the city child. To say which
Is the more intelligent is like deciding
that an Englishman is brighter than
German. 1t might depend upon the
particular Englishman and German. In
matters pertaining to nature the coun-
try child is far more alert than the
city child. He hears the ctirp of bird
and can tell you it's name 1t takes a
city boy a long time to learn the Sc
crets OF the country. but it takes the
country boy about two weeks to know
more about the city than the average
native-born child has learned in Ill its
life.-W Washington Post.

EVENING CHAT
Is There Peace in Your Home?
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Have you ever happened to notice
how in some houses there is an almost
palpable atmosphere of peace and har-
mony, while in other homes unrest ana
discord are just as obviously in the
air.
A friend of mine recently gave up
room in a lovely house for much less
attractive location. 1 knew there Was
no financial reason for the change, ana
rather wondered at it until she explain
ed.
Yes, my dear, the house itself, and
the furniture and appointments were
beautiful, and my room was thoroughly
comfortable 1 couldn't ask anything
better in a material way, but I WASH
happy there, and now I've come away
I'll tell you why. L didn't like the at
mosphere The people in that house
didn't love each other; there was al
ways discord between them. OF course
they were too we'll bred to actually
quarrel before me, and they were al
ways kind and obliging as far as 1
was concerned, but l couldn't help
feeling the lack of peace and harmony
in the atmosphere and it troubled me.
Where I am now an atmosphere OF
peace is just as evident. The people
speak to each other in pleasant voices,
they remember the little courtesies and
are always doing little thoughtful
things for each other. And they all
seem so happy. I can't tell you how
much happier I've been myself since
I've been here"
NY friends face and manner bore out
her words. She seemed happier than
l had ever seen her. And yet she had
given up several material comforts to
make the change.
An atmosphere is an Intangible thing,
but it is as vital and powerful a force
for or against happiness as many things
which we can touch and handle.
When 1 see children being brought
I'D in a house where there is an at
mosphere of discord and unrest l am
sorry for them, no matter how many
luxuries they may have.
read the other day of a middle aged
man and woman who have just been
divorced They had a grown son, and
the wife told the court that although
she and her husband decided when
that son was a baby that they were
incompatible, they had made up their
minds to bury their discussions and
live together in harmony until he we.s
grown, for his sake. And they had
done this so successfully that neither
he nor any of their friends had the
least idea that there was any lack of
harmony.
Wasn't that a tremendous and beau
tiful thing to do for a child?
An atmosphere of perfect peace is a
wonderful and beautiful thing. The
child who is brought up in a home
where peace abides will have a bless
ed childhood even if he lacks many
luxuries.
Is there peace in your home?

He was gazing contentedly out of the
window. Another was a young man
with the marks of premature age
upon every feature. Dissipation had
done its work before he had given
himself time to be of use in the
world. You know the village habit Of
of putting the graveyard upon little
hill in plain view of all the surround
ing country? Well, the old man was
seemingly watching for these bury
ing grounds. After a long time he
leaned over and said to me:
:: There's another of those pretty
little burying grounds-God's acres.
How calm, how restful they look.
One might be glad to lie there.'
Meanwhile, the young-old man
had been muttering to himself. He,
too, was watching the villages as the
train crawled through them. Final
ly consumed by curiosity, 1 moved
over to a seat from which 1 could
overhear him. Just then another
burying ground came into view.
