DR.. O. S. Marden, world-famous phi
Iosopher, in an inspiring series Of
Articles written for the modern young
woman, shows indulgent parents the
evil of their ways. The following is
quoted from Pictorial Review for
April:
one of the first obligations of par
ents toward a child is to teach him
what a tremendous debt he owes to
the world into which he was born.
There are many parents, especially
mothers, who have made slaves of
themselves to help their girls gain a
COLLEGE education, and who are not
willing that they should work.
The daughters will sometimes sit
around the house and see the mother
cook for and wait upon her family,
even when she Is sick enough to be
abed without the slightest feeling OF
conjunction, simply because they
have been raised that way. They have
come to take 1t for granted that they
are not expected to do anything; that
they were intended to be waited upon.
These young women would be shocked
II told that they were selfish, that
they have been unkind to their poor
wornout mother. They were brought
up to be waited upon, to have every
grown to expect that everything is
coming toward them, and they do not
seem to think that anything Is ex-
pected of them in return. They ac-
cept everything as a. matter of course,
because they have been overindnlged
from childhood; they have grown up
that way.
MANY a mother has called down
upon her gray hairs ingratitude, ac-
cusation of selfishness and even the
disrespect of her children because
of her overindulgence.
/ know one mother in Ill health
who waits upon her strong, healthy
daughters continually. She rises early
in the morning when In no condition
to do so, Nand gets the breakfast,
while her great robust girls are sleep
ing away or reading silly novels the
best of the forenoon. She little real
ICES that this overindulgence is en-
couraging the most selfish qualities in
her daughters, and is taking away
what should be their greatest incen-
tive to self -development-that she IS
helping her girls to form habits of in
dolence which will seriously mar their
future.
How often we hear a mother say in
a half Joking way: II know l have
spoiled my daughter by my overin-
dulgence, but she is the only child l
have" In fact, she sneaks of 1t as OF
comparatively little Importance. SEEM

couraging her daughter TO become in
dependent and self-reliant by self
help she is making a weakling out OF

A GEOGRAPHICAL MYSTERY

Europe and America may have been
due to an alteration, not in the level
of the land, but n that of the sea.
He conceived that when the increas-
ing ice counterbalances the decreasing
ice there is q sudden transfer of the
centre of gravity of the earth from
one side of the centre of the solid part
to the other and consequently a rush
of water, or deluge, alternately from
north to south and from south to
north. occurring every 1880 years.
1t seems to Lord Avebury, who dwells
on this subject at some length in
Prehistoric Times" that the altera-
lions of the ice cupolas would be too
slow, and consequently too gradual to
cause any sudden rush of water from
one pole to the other.
According to M. Adhemar's theory,
the year 1913 was that n which our
Northern hemisphere was at it's period
of greatest heat, and the Southern at
that of greatest cold and as 665 years
have since elapsed, we might expect
to find some evidence of subsequent
change. The great Southern glacier
is said to have retreated considerably
since the time of Captain Cook, and
the ice in Greenland is on the in
crease.-Kansas City Star.

aroused helly's temper and he made
hostile rush to release the horse
The officer tried to kill him, and
fired twice, one bullet lodging in his
neck and the other being turned by
his belt. Kelly then gave the officer
thrashing, drove back home, had
the bullet extracted, and, 1t is said
neglected to return 1t to the owner.
Kelly suffered for a time from ex-
tradition and other legal proceedings
but these died out and the affair was
forgotten.
Six years later some men, who by
a fatuous moral strabismus are not
only able to retain their own self
respect, but regard themselves as
useful citizens, devised a scheme to
entice Kelly across the imaginary
line. This was deemed meritorious
proceeding, because Kelly was a
criminal there and a good citizen
here. Whether he was enticud across
the line or not, he was seized. over
powered, handcuffed and put into q
stone and iron cage, where for four
teen years he will be deprived of the
products of his labor without COM
pensation, and will be subjected to
continuous indignities by small
minded men in authority. And, in the
language of the late Boss Tweed,

Under such conditions as exist In

question for either the city or any
contractor to provide sufficient stand
by snow-removal equipment to clear
any large percentage of the street
area before a thaw. The inevitable
result is that every heavy snowfall
accompanied by cold weather is fol-
lowed by snow ongested streets, and
quite as certainly by vast amount
of unwarranted criticism of the city
administration in general and tbs
street cleaning department In particu-
lar.
The critics generally overlook tbs
fact that snow removal has to be con-

tions of young authors. Whether
there are too many for the public to
support is a commercial question: if
a magazine is losing money ii can
easily be stopped. That undue multi
plieation of competitors may DE bane-
full to quality is obvious; quality i'm
plies plenty of good writer's, and there
are not enough good writers to go
around.
Yet it may be suspected that the
shortcomings of which both maya
zinists and their readers complain are
due not so much to the number of the
periodicals as to their inadequate diff
ferentiation. There are too many
magazines appealing to the same pub
lie, and since the least critical public
is the largest there Is a steady down
ward pull in the direction of least re-
sistance and greatest circulation.
Even magazines of long established
prestige find II hard to hold out
against this steady tug from the bust
ness end. The modern magazine has
grown TO be tremendous business
enterprise In which the modest work
OF the writers who pen what people
read has become rather sWamped by
accessories. Good stuff" is desired,
of course, but circulation is vital
Manufacturing cost is great, and big
organization has TO be kept running;
success depends on advertising, and
advertising on circulation. Thus the
temptation is always to cheaper the
quality when a cheaper quality may
appeal to a larger public,
This influence is felt not simply in
the impoverishment Of the literary
features but in the lowering of moral
quality in response to an assumed
popular demand. Just as literature
was sacrificed to muck -raking when
muck raking was the rage. 80 when
the reform spasm passed the sensa-
tienal treatment of sex questions was
seized upon as a winner. What the
next craze will be nobody can tell, but
every able editor has his ear to the
ground, and his eye on his neighbor
similarly occupied across the way.

Since February 8, when Covlll, alone

all of the envelopes (thirty of them

terday) are addressed In q distinctly
feminine hand and postmarked at

his death and burial in a pauper's
