DIR. Robert s. King, a Presbyterian
missionary lately arrived in Africa,
sends back this interesting note:
THE churches out here are M,

accustomed to, but are matched
sheds with split logs for seats Some
times they use small sticks about
the size of your forearm and seem
TO sit quite comfortably on them,
The attention given the speaker is
far better than that usually a man
at home, and there is none OF the
hysteria which one associates with
the gatherings OF the negroes at

from the poorer class OF whites. Out

street of the city. Coming to poultry
dealers place, he stopped and gazed
admiringly at the fowls and game dis

took his fancy. After running his

he entered the shop. The shopman was

CHILDREN HURT GY NOISES
Hcw the Little Gnes Suffer From the

Very few mothers realize how OK

to noises OF all kinds and how much
of their "naughtiness" is sue to nerv-
GUS irritation set up by all the house
hold roises of the day.
To a certain extent every woman
who has the care Of children realizes
this fact. When the baby goes to bed
all the house is hushed in order that
it may sleep.
But oEce the child awakens no con
sideration is shown TO its tender
nerves, and the evil consequences to
the childs health are often very seri-
Gus and cling to 1t all through life.
Doctors are always insisting on this
paramount characteristic of the young
child-its great nervous sensibility.
And any mother who observes the
child when a door is banged. a dog
banks or street trader shouts Will
notice its distress. AT every bang or
other sudden noise there is a nervous,
frightened start.
The result of a days noise of all
kinds to young children, especially if
they are delicate. is state of nervous
depression and irritation.
This is commonly mistaken for tenn
per and naughtiness, but it is real
nervous illness. They not only be
come petulant, but their appetite fails
and their digestion is thrown into dis
order.
No doubt the evil effects of city life
on children are due in great part to
the incessant noise.-kansas City
