Danger In Being only Child.

According to Freud, the great Ger
man authority, a large percentage OF
the weaklings who figure In divorce
trials and in dissolute circles owe
their abnormality to the fact that each
was an only child. The care with
which they were shielded from contact
with anybody less favored and the
way their normal impulses were sup
pressed gave them the perverse con-
ception of love, marriage and other
relations which makes them the pit
liable figures they are today.

Gods Gift of Repentance.

God has many ways Of reaching hui
man hearts. The one who refuses to
attend the house of God and listen to
the preaching of the gospel may be
reached by some unexpected message
read or spoken, and, unawares, the
word may find lodgment in the heart,
awakening thought and emotion and
leading to repentance. Bereavement
may come, and in the breaking up of
the heart and life the spirit of God
may sink the truth deep down into
the very SOUL

sleep a Universal Necessity.

The question where sleep begins is
by no means easily answered. One is
inclined to draw the line at the in
sects. But since all living things,
plants as well as animals, display pc
riodical states of quiescence, perhaps
we shall be near the truth in regard
ing sleep as universal among living
things. In the case Of plants, it is
enforced by darkness, save in the case
of many bacteria and fungi, which.
like evil deeds, grow under the cover
of darkness.

PLANS FOR AN ALLIANCE
BY NORWAY AND SWEDEN
Former Differences Are Apparently
Composed in the Face of
Russian Aggression.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
STOCKHOLM, June 24.-The campaign
for an alliance between Norway and
Sweden continues without dissenting
vote. Prominent politicians of all parties
are advocating such a course on the pub
lie platform and in the newspapers. The
movement, however, still lacks any Of
fetal action.
Sven Hedin. the Swedish explorer. and
Siguid Isben have exchanged visits be-
tween Stockholm and Christiania. and
each has found public sentiment agree
able to the proposed alliance. The ire
conciiabe differences which led to the
disruption of the union between the two
countries in 1905, and which barely es-
capped causing war, seem to have
smoothed out to the extent at least that
both peoples desire to unite in a de-
fensive alliance against possible Russian
aggression.
The increase in the army and navy of
Sweden. instead of exciting the concern
of Norway. is greeted there with the ut
most satisfaction. it is said. and Norway
itself has a strong movement under way
for an increase in ornaments. ISben. in
his lectures here. has argued that the
two foreign offices and the general staffs
should have some formal arrangement
for working together in case of war.

Bachelors Only.
From the San Francisco Arsonaut.

FROM the San Francisco Argondut.
The stars in their courses seem to be
fighting against the married man. II
appears that he is now to be discrimi-
mated against on the ground that he is
certain to impart trade secrets to his
wife, who. as We all know. is equally
certain to impart them in her own pecu-
liar way to the world at large.
The latest employer to join this unholy
league against the married man. and thus
to increase the natural perils of his posi-
ton. is Sir Thomas Upton. His only
chance to win the Americas cup is to
preserve inviolable secrecy as to the de-
sign of his new yacht. and he is there
fore rigid in his decision that only
bachelors need apply for work in his
yard.
Another impenitent offender in this re-
spect is Lord Kitchener. who not only
refuses to have any married man on his
staff in time of war, but who promptly
removes from his staff any officer guilty
of matrimony during active service 1t
seems therefore. that the old charge
against women of inability to keep a
secret must be enlarged. Not only are
they themselves incapable of keeping a
secret, but they decline to allow their
husbands to do so.

TURKS SEEK TO CHECK
WIDE USE OF HEBREW
Language Now Is Common Among
Tens Of Thousands Of Per-
sons in Palestine.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
JERUSALEM, June 23.-The Turkish
government has issued orders against
posting notices in Hebrew upon the dead
walls of cities of Palestine. The action
is believed to indicate concern on the
part of the authorities over the remark
able revival of the Hebrew language.
Although up to thirty years ago classic
Hebrew was not ordinarily used by the
Jews of Palestine. it Is now the common
language of tens of thousands of people
in Palestine. 1t Is the medium OF in
struction in many schools. and newspa-
pers, street car tickets and shopkeepers'
signs are in Hebrew. 1t is, therefore.
apparent that the authorities will have
hard time if they propose to check the
spread Of the language.
The revival of the pure biblical tongue
has been. in measure. forced on the
Palestine Jews for reasons apart from
the sentimental immigration from other
parts Of the world. particularly of the
1900 Yiddish-speaking Jews from Rus
STA some years ago, made a common
means of communication necessary. Yid-
dish is not understood by the natives
here. while all Jews know something OF
Hebrew.
The Zionist movement. aimed at re-
storing Palestine to the Jewish race. has
done much to finance the Hebrew schools
and is now raising a fund to endow a
Hebrew university at Jerusalem.

Long before Germany was to be reck-

possessed fleet equipped for warfare.
Eight hundred years ago. on all the
larger Swiss lakes. armed galleys were
maintained by the rival cantons. Skilled
shipwrights had to be imported from
Genoa for the construction of these YES
sells. some of which carried crews Of -"
men. The largest Swiss fiotilla was
maintained on the Lake of Geneva, when
the inhabitants of Geneva were az war
with Savoy. Since the neutrality of
Switzerland has been guaranteed by the

ships on the lakes. The Swiss however

PAINTING OF CONCRETE
PROBLEM FOR BUILDERS
Difficulty Due to Action of Alkali
in Cement Used.

The painting Of concrete and cement
surfaces is one Of the many new prob
lens that modern conditions have
brought to the master painters of the
present day. says the Canadian Engineer.
Ordinarily linseed oil paints cannot be
applied with success directly to cement
or concrete surfaces on account Of the
lime present in the cement. The action
of this alkali Is to destroy the oil, caus-
ing rapid fading of colored paints, and
chalking and scaling off of the material.
Therefore 1t is necessary. If linseed oil
paint is to be used, that the surface be
first thoroughly saturated with neutral
iZing wash. The most approved method
is to use a solution of zinc sulphate in
the proportions of three pounds to gal
Ion of water. A cement surface treated
with this wash and allowed to dry can
be painted with any high-grade linseed
oil paint without danger from alkaline
action, and with the assurance that re-
suits will be lasting, as If applied to
wood.
for exterior cement coating, as they do
not form a waterproof coating Zone of
the most important requirements of a
cement paint and offer no protection
from deterioratng influences.
All the new cement surfaces, either eX-
terror or interior. should be allowed to
become thoroughly dried out and hard
before painting. and the best results have
been obtained where the work has stood
not less than a month before paint was
applied. If the surface is dry and the
paint right. it will penetrate freely on
the first coat. filing the pores and rem
dering peeling impossible. but this would
not be the case if applied over a damp
surface.
Exterior cement paints should dry to
fiat or semi-f1at finish in order to car
~ out the stone, or cement effect Moth
ing looks more out of place than a full
gloss paint applied to exterior cement
surfaces.
Many of the ready prepared cement
floor paints. the quick drying vehicle of
which Is largely china wood oil, have
been found to give excellent results. r.
II. Langston, in a paper read at the Illi-
nois State Association of Master House
Painters. Chicago, strongly recommended
their use until such time as more COM
plete knowledge of the requirements in
mixing of this material can be obtained.
There is no doubt that for some time
TO come the master painter will be feel
ing his way, step by step, in the new
realm of modern surface painting which
cement construction has forced upon him.
1t Will tax the brain of the paint chemist
to formulate the vehicle with which to
destroy the alkaline base with which ce-
ment surfaces are loaded.

The Inner Cabinet.

From the London Chronicle.
Within every British cabinet, as we all
know. there is a governing conclave-a
cabinet within a cabinet Mr.. Sidney
Lee, who has traced for US the growth of
this inner cabinet, reminds US that it is
no novelty. Shelburne revealed the Sc
crets of his own in 1882. when he said
there were ministers who were admit
ted to the cabinet without having access
to confidential documents" Then there
was the cabinet with the circulation
that is, with the privilege of a key to
the official boxes. in which foreign dis
patches and other important papers were
sent round These secret documents, the
historian of today reminds us. ''are still
circulated among ministers by means of
locked boxes. to which every member of
the cabinet possesses master key
So that the democratic principle has so
far triumphed today even in the highest
council in the lana.
