Island Of Prinkipo In Sea Of Mamora.

of 1856. That there is something dark
and unfrlendly about 1t is more than
a legend. The Bosphorus is 20 miles
long, and at one point of its tortuous
course the hills of Europe and Asia
come within $50 yards of each other.
The Dardanelles is twice as long and
nearly twice as wide, varying from
1,4OO yards to five miles. Its Euro
pean shore, Gallipoli peninsula, Is the
Thracian Chersonese of the ancients,
and its steep ridge overloOks the plain
of Troy on the Asiatic bank and the
broken foothills of Mount Ida.
Sea of Marmora Is Delightful.
While its two historic gateways are
strategically the most important fea-
lures of Marmora, that picturesque
little sea has character all its own.
In any other part of the world 1T
would long ago have become a place
of sojourn for yachtsmen and sum
merers, so happily is it treated by sun
and wind, so amply provided with
boys, capes, islands, mountains, forests

make glad the heart of the amateur
explorer. AS it Is, the Marmora re-
mains strangely wild for sea that
has known so much of life. More
numerous than the settlements of to-
day are the ruins of yesterday. About
no body of water in the world, of equal
size, have stood so many stately
cities. 1t is almost impossible, indeed,
to give any coherent account of the
story of Marmora, so much history and
legend have crowded its shores.
The true question of the straits
arose as early rs the fifth century
| b. c., when Alcibiades of Athens coun-
seled the people of Chrysopolis, the
modern Scutarl at the southeastern
extremity of the Bosphorus, to take
toll Of passing ships. But the Otto
man regulation of the straits has been
far more jealous than anything at
| tempted by the ancients. The Turks
have allowed no foreign men-of-war
to enter the Marmora unless under
rare and special circumstances and
not only do they exercise surveillance
over the traffic In the straits, but
twice during the four years preceding
the war they closed the Dardaneiles
to navigation of any kind

interest. Here the West won its self
confidence, and this confidence has
borne fruits with splendid richness for
longer than 1000 years. Here the
course of civilization has been changed
and modified several times, and here
again, the attention of the world has
been fixed in the belief of many that
the future of Europe will once more
be determined by events there.
There is something alluring in the
very shape and position of these lakes
the Black sea and the Sea of Mar
mora-separatlng as they do the two
most historic continents of our globe,
and communicating with each other
and with the outer seas by openings
that seem miraculous. And those land
locked waters have been from earliest
times the theater of epic events. For
us Of the West no legends are older
than those of Zeus and 10, of PhryXus
and Helle, of the Trojan war; of Jason
and the Argo, which commemorate the
earliest voyages into the, Great Lakes

Black Sea Vast Body Of Water.
OF the two, the Mnrmora-the Pro-
points, If You prefer to be classical
is by far the smaller. Not much more
than 100 miles long and some forty
miles across at its broadcast part, it is
about the same size as Lake Cham
plain. The Marmora has much of the
softness of air, vividness of color, and
beauty of scenery that we associate
with the Aegean and Ionia seas.
Thread the narrow slit of the Bos-
phorus, however, and you pass into an
entirely different world - sterner
barer, rocker, colder.
If the Marmora may be compared
to Lake Champlain, the Black sea Is
about four times the size of our great

MISSES INFLUENCE ON CHILD
Hard to Exaggerate How Important 1t
Can Be Made in the Training
of Youth.

story-hour has always been the
standby of youth, gleefully anticipat-
ing the soothing close of the day. Ev-
cry mother, too, has appreciated these
minutes day after day, as blessing in
the training and development of her
child. 1t is an indisputable fact that
a child never absorbs more than when
1T is Interested and amused. So dur
ing the pleasant story hours the child
learns about the joys, the sorrows, the
disappointments-in short, all the les
sons of life.
But now some resourceful mother
has discovered how to improve this
ancient institution. How? BY setting

Famous Editors Epiorams.

Sir Herbert Tree had a reputation
in England for making epigrams. One
of his obituary articles quoted several
times that he made when playing in
this country. SIN America" he said,
"there are many babies but few chill
dren.' "There is something in the
air in New York." he thought, 'that
stimulates and solaces activity: one
ought always to be tired, but never
YEARLY" More ambiguous, but without
doubt honestly meant in a compliment
airy, sense, was his remark after a
conversation with Cardinal Gibbons:
"Of great men one sometimes learns
little things" This would have been
better if he had said, "From great
men," etc., as perhaps he did. In his
own line of theatrical work he said:
"If the commercial managers of Amer
lea had but served Shakespeare as
they have served musical comedy, he
would not have been deserted in his
old age" Probably Sir Herbert had
heard of our famous stirred business
man." but apparently he forgot him in
this remark about so-called musical
comedy.

EquinoctiaI Storms.

The month of September brings in
Its train the first touch of cold wealth
er and frost and the co-called sseaui
noctial storms" The sun Crosses the

equinox, and summer is astronomically
at an end. The seasonal change OF

disaster to shipping. AS similar storms
occur in March While the sun is near

ing the equator is directly responsible
for these equinoctial storms. Nothing
could be more absurd. The equator in
the sky is as imaginary a circle as the
equator on the earth. Weather is
not made on the spot, but is the result
of influences spread over large areas
Changes in the moon and spots on
the sun have been the phenomena most
generally blamed for changes in the
weather - but apparently without
scientific reason.

BE HONEST WITH CHILDREN
Especially Pernicious Are the Foolish
Threats That Are Frequently.
Made by Parents.

Do not lie to children. They will
soon learn you are lying; you will lose
their confidence, and their respect for
you will be gone. When you tell them
fairy stories, let them understand they
are stories. Enjoyment of the tales
will not be less. Some try to control
children by telling them they will be
whipped thrown out of the window,
that the "bogy man" will catch them,
that they will be sold to the rag
man." or the policeman will get them,
and by making many other untrue,
senseless threats. The child soon dis
covers that none of these things oc-
cur. He ceases to fear the threat and
becomes as disobedient as ever-per-
haps more so, since such threats act
like dares to continue.
One bad threat often made to chill
dren is that the policeman will get
them and take them to Jail. Children
should be taught that the policeman is
q friend, not an enemy. They should
be trained to know the policeman is
one to guard them from harm and to
help them in trouble.
The evil of a lie to child cannot be
estimated. 1t does not correct the
child's behavior. One loses the child IS
respect, and ones authority is conse-
quently weakened. A more serious re-
suit, however, is that the child learns
to lie. Any lie is an attempt to de-
ceive and must have evil consequences,
both for oneself and the child to whom
the lie is told. One should never make
Il threat one cannot perform. Threats
are bad at the best. There are other
ways to accomplish ones purpose. If
you would keep your children honest
with you, be honest with them.

WELL CALLED GREATEST GIFT
Hard to overestimate What the DUAL.
ity of Imagination Has Done
for the World.

A man may be denied health,
wealth, friends, education many of the
other good things of life, but there is
one thing which, if he be so happy as
to be endowed Herewith, can never
be taken from him no matter what
his condition in life may be-and that
is the quality of Imagination. This
quality it is which inspires all hope
and furnishes the wings for faith,
which peoples the heavens with an
gels and lights up the very shadow of
the tomb. Imagination it is that
opens the windows of the soul and
allows man to see back down the
vistas of the past and far along the
lanes of coming time. 1t is imagina-
tion that brings happiness and con-
tentment into the lives of the sick, the
Impoverished and the oppressed. 1t
makes noble men sing in prison vet
haunts with awful dreams the tyrant
on the throne. Without Imagination
there would be no "Pilgrim's Prog
ress," no Paradise Lost" no mild
summer Nights Dream nor would
there be ever any invention or archi-
lecture or music that is "the wine of
the soul,'' or sculpture or painting that
reflect in form and color the ideals
in the minds of men. Blessed be
Imagination, the greatest gift of SUI
preme wisdom and power to the chill
dren of earth.-Los Angeles Times.

FEW GIVE LUCID TESTIMONY
Average Person Seems to Get Badly
clustered When Talking to
Lawyer or Detective.

"And after the choking" prompted
the lawyer, who represented the
plaintiff in recent trial for assault.
"Oh there wasn't any choking that
saw" said the witness.
s'sNo choking? But didn't you tell
the officer that the accused sprang
upon his victim from behind and
seized him by the throat?"
Eyes, sir, surely. But there wasn't
any choking. He just squeezed him
till he couldn't Breathe
"Well. wasn't that choking, I'd like
TIC know?"
"When body chokes, he coughs till
he splits it out" explained the witness,
but the old man didn't have any
thing in his mouth, and he didn't
cough, so he didn't choke. He was
squeezed till the life was most squoze
out of him, that's all"
If the court was not enlightened by
such finely Disseminated point,
neither was the truth beclouded. But
William j. Burns, the famous detec-
tive, declares that it is nearly impos-
sible for the average person to give
simple, lucid information to lawyer
or detective. He gives as an exam
pie the Office boy who was asked, did
Mr.. Jones or his partner usually reach
the Office first?'
'Well," said the boy eagerly, blush
ing and stammering with excitement,
"Mr. Jones at first was always last.

WILL POWER ALWAYS COUNTS
Well to Realize One Has Got to Want
Things Hard in Order to
Get Them.

Just wanting something will rarely
obtain it for you. You've got to go out
and get it for yourself. In an article
called increase Your Driving Power"
in the American Magazine, writer
quotes an authority as saying:
After all, man does what he
wants to do. Therefore, he must be
taught as child and he must learn in
adult years to teach himself, to want
to do the right thing and the big thing
and to want it so hard that he is
bound to arrive at the wished-for goal.
Anybody can sit down and say, I'd like
to be the head of my company, or the
president of the United States, or the
best salesman in the world That much
is easy. 1t is exactly what the baby
does when it sits on the floor and
squalls for a piece of candy. But it is
Il very different thing from wanting
something so much that one is willing
to set about it and undertake at once
the doing of the impossible.
''The trouble with the average man
is that he does not want things hard
enough. And one reason for this is
that he has not been taught the value
of this wanting He has not been
shown in his schools and in his life
that man has tremendous resources for
wanting and for willing, and that, as
he continues to will and will, he will
find himself unknown and unsupported
layers of energy. There is always
enough energy to supply mans de-
sires for success if he will tap the
source of it,"

kinobird Is chivaIrous FIGHTER.

The scientists call the kingbird Ty-
,rannus URANUS, doubling up on the
tyrannical significance of the thing be-
cause this bird of ours tyrannizes
over other birds, but it is grateful to
say that his pecking pugnacity re-
strains itself in the cases of birds
smaller than himself.
There are some good friends Of the
kingbird who will tell you that the
uranus of his name is used in its
extremely ancient significance, which
was that of ruler rather than tyrant,
but the kingbird is tyrant, neverthe-
less, as one can find out by asking
amy. crow or hawk which flaps or sails
within the domain of this guardian of
the fields.
