Is This the Modern chiId7

The child has changed; 1t is no Ion
ger the creature that, pointing to an
animal in the field, said: whats
that?" and the reply being, "A cow"
asked "Why?" The child is perilous-
~ close to asking whether the animal
is canivorous or herbivorous.
That makes coercion very difficult.
But I do not think that the modern
parent desires to coerce as much as
did his forebear. Rather, he desires to
develop the child's personality, and in
its early years this leads to horrid re-
suits, to children being taught to see
the beautiful" as being made to real
ize the duties Of citizen"
We are in for a generation made up
half Of bulbOus-headed, bespectacled
precOcities, and half Of barbarians
who are realizing their personality"
by the continual use of "shan" and
''shan't. w. L. George, In Harper's
Magazine.

GRAFT FOR THE PANHANDLER
War Has Developed New Class, and
He 10 Making Charity Pay
Him Well.

A brand new KIND Of panhandler has
been developed by the European war.
He sails tho ocean blue. He clusters
around the quays Of Rotterdam and
Southampton. with bandages on his
head and on his arms and legs, He
shambles and shunts his way into the
stseraye Of the big liners going to
America. And on the way over h
tells pittable stories Of the frightful
suffering the war has brought upon
him.
He starts the telling Of his harrow
Ing tales In the steerage and tells
them necessarily, SO that finally they
get to the ears Of the storage stew
ards. then to the ears Of the second
class, then to the nrst-olass stewards
and presently the afauent passengers
st the upper deck know the stories.
And these may be depended upon.
with their sympathies thus Quicksned.
to look up the unfortunate and pour
lavish charity into his hands.
The feature Of the story Of this
brand Of panhandler that always calls
out the biggest TOW Of gold IL when
they say they are coming to America
to try to build now homes and send
for families left half starving In their
wrecked native land. but that they
are without the wherewithal-the $50
Of cash necessary-to permit them to
be admitted to the new country. They
usually get about I'VE times $50 from
the wealthy passengers.

NO FAvoRITEs IN FAMILY
Parents Sometimes Make Serious En-.
ror In Showing Open Preference
May Spoil Young Life.

FavOritism among children should
never be shown, for 1t is this over
sight Of parents, this habit of making
favorites. preferring one child to an
other, which often rankles In children's
minds, and is later the cause of jeal.
Ousy and dissension In families.
Often enough the early treatment of
one Of these children by the parents
causes the younger ones to expect too
much from the Cinderella Of the fam
lily.
She should, they think. give In at an
times to them. relinquish her own de-
sires and tastes In their favor, and, so
used are they to her giving in to them
that they almost fail to recognize the
fact that she is their sister, that she
should possess any individual rights,
an opinion of her own.
Many a young girls life has been
spoiled In this way; her youth and girl.
hood blighted. Such girl. down-trod-
den and subdued, naturally thinks lit
tie Of herself; and not realizing that
she possesses good qualities, proposes
sing features that might attract, be-
comes old-fashiOned in her style, dress
and manner; and often as not her very
unselfishness In not seeing after her
self, dressing herself better. is the
cause of her being looked down upon
as dowdy and fright.
Men, even, in seeking wife often
enough fail to notice the good quail
ties beneath that plain costume, and
many suitors recognize when too late
that they would have been wiser in
choosing that loving, tender, sympa-
thetic girl, who was only considered
the ugly duckling" for their wife, than
any of her more snowy and brilliant
sisters.

FEW PURE WHITES IN MEXICO
Remarkable Mixture Of Races In the
inhabitants Of That Much-Dls-
turbed Country.

OF every 100 persons In Mexico only
10 are Of a pure white race; SO are
Indians and the other 43 are a some
what sorry mixture Of various races.
but chiefly Of Indian and negro.
There are fully Is times as many
Indians in Mexico as dwell In the Unit
cd States. An Indian was really the
George Washington Of Mexico. and the
name Of Benito Juarez is perpetuated
In q town mentioned every day in the
troublous dispatches from that unhap-
py land.
The whites or real Mexicans are de-
scendants Of the Spanish conquerorS.
Those Spaniards didn't wish to share
a good thing with anybody and so they
shut out all other immigration. Hence
It happens that today, with popula-
ton twice that Of Pennsylvania, Mex
leo has only about sixty thousand for
eigners dwelling permanently in the
republic, "Girard" writes in the Phil
adelphia Ledger.
The mestizo is q common variety of
the mixed race in Mexico. He is
son Of q white father and an Indian
mother.
A chinco Is another prevalent type.
He is the product of an Indian father
and negro mother. He Is not hand
some specimen Of the human race nor
q reliable one.
Then there is the zambo, also numer-
GUS, and he is the son of a negro father
and Indian mother.
These three types Of mixed races,
plus the ordinary mulatto, form the
major portion of nearly half the Mexi-
can population.
It IL curious thing that the Indian
blood does not mix well with the Afri
can and it seems to depart further
from the original than does the negro.
Il American missionaries seek fer
tile field for education they may find 1t
among Mexican Indians. The red men
Of that republic are so backward in
modern science that 50 out Of every
100 children die in infancy.

The topic having turned to the sub
ject of regret, this story was recalled
by Senator Henry F. Hollis Of New
Hampshire:
A German named Adam became de-
pressed over the wobbly way In which
the world was moving, and in a hasty
moment jumped from the town wharf
into the river. The crowd on return
ing from the river after fruitless en-.
deavor was met by party named
Jacob.

over the long-faced bunch. "Vat vas

country's Weakness and Danger.
One hundred years ago the worlds
output of copper was only about $500
tons per annum. Today the United
States alone produces over 100000
tons each year. One hundred years
ago the world produced between two
and three million tons Of iron per an
mum. One hundred years ago the
world produced about $4,000, 900 tons
Of coal per annum. The United States
now produces about $4,000, 900 tons
per annum.
Attention is called to these figures,
not as an evidence of strength, but of
weakness and danger, writes William
L. Saunders. In the Engineering Maya
