headaches, wrestling matches, six

THE DUTY OF PARENTS.

defective children. The asylums in
New York are overcrowded, and it is
said that 10000 epileptics and feeble
minded are uncared for throughout the
State. Many of these wretched crea-
lures belong to the third and fourth
generation. In some the enfeeblement
results from disease; from fall, from
shock, etc, and is frequently over
looked in its early stages when it might
have been amenable to treatment. Epi-
lepsy, for instance. may begin so
mildly that the first symptom Is
scarcely perCeptible CONFUSION. a mere
involuntary tremOr of the body, with
momentary lapse of memory, not of
consciousness. Nervousness, irrita-
bility, hysteriCal outbreaks and the
like are all warnings too often I'M
needed
Our educational methods, while ad-
mirable in some directions, are most
harmful in others The seeds of life
long misery are sown by the enforced
study entailed upon many children
in order to keep up with their classes.
These children scarcely take time to
bolt" their food; digestive disorders
superinduced upon an already en-
feebled constitution result in grave
nutritional conditions affecting mainly
the heart and central nervous system
Slep is impaired, growth is impeded
and the effect of this, particularly upon
young girls at puberty. is the feeble
development of organs and the partial
establishment of functions.
In these cases the influence of some
hereditary faint cannot be too wildly
dwelled upon; for it is in the early
recognition of this fact, followed by
the most cautious. persistent and
scientific treatent pursued for years,
that the only hope of regeneration lies.
If with our present and ever-increas-
ing knowledge of cause and effect all
detectives were ruled out, and only
such allowed to procreate as could
meet a mental and physical standard,
a few generations hence our race
would outrival in physical beauty and
intellectually that of the ancient
Greeks.

Charles w. Hoyts "a Texas Steer"
will be the offering of the Poll Play
ers next week.
All of the scenes OF the play are laid
in Washington. and the story has to
do with the humorous side of political
life. The leading character is a Texas
Congressman. who is "pestered" by a
group OF constituents from the wild
and woody West. They resent the airs
which the Congressman has assumed
since becoming a national lawmaker,
and they are determined to show him
that he is still dependent upon the
people back home. The Congressman
is quite willing to yield to some Of
their demands, but his wife is obdur-
ate in wishing to throw out the "vuI-
garians"

Louis Mann, the celebrated character
actor. whom the Messrs. Shubert will
present at the Belasco Theater next
week in The Bubble" has proba bly,
played more parts than any dramatic
star on the stage and they have ranged
through many dialects. Indeed, he has
spoken over ten different dialects in his
stage career.
1t is said that in the present chara cter
Mr.. Mann has his audiences convulsed
with laughter one moment and the next
he has them drying the tears from
their eyes.
The original cast which was seen at
the Booth Theater, New York, during the
remarkable run of the play last spring
and summer will be seen here. II COM

ISOLATED with Mr.. Mann's previous sue

Mothers are as shOckingly lax in

neglect to thoroughly acquaint their
boys with the terrible risks they in

Every boy should be taught these
facts:

they are not easily eradiCated from

Childs eyes at birth, these dreadful
asses would not occur. A number of
lesser evils follow in the train of
neglected eye troubles, which later
on necessitate the disfguring use of
speCtaCles.
Attention has repeatedly been drawn
within recent years to the moral de-
fective. Worldwide publicity has been
-iven the subject by the lay press in
consequence of startling disclosures
in so-called high life, in diplomatic
circles, and by obscure crimes. the
Inception of which. from their nature,
seemed unfathomable.
How many parents have learned a
essen and applied the facts adduCed
from these revelations to a possibly
morally defective child in their midst
Usually such a child is given greater
license because of its temperamental
traits, and no effort is made to treat
him as a defective.
The boy who displays an ungov-
ernable temper. who is addicted to pas
siOnate OUtbursts of uncomfortable
anger. who takes a delight in infict-
ing pain upon his pIayfellows, who
at a most tender age evinces a keen
pleasure in cruel acts upon helpless
animals-these and many other traits
