"LlvE Up TO" THE CHILDREN
Writer Condemns Oid.Fasfioned Idea
Of Repression and Stern Punish.
ment for Trivial Offenses.

It seems to me a great mistake TO
"live down to" children. They are
capable of understanding and respond
Ing to deep and fine thoughts and feel
ings. Never from the first did we criti-
cize or humiliate our boys in any way.
we gave them credit always for the high
and right motive, and suspended judg-
ment till they had told their side But
If they were wrong they were not pun
ished. The fact that they had fallen
below what had been expected of them
was punishment enough. certain
standard of conduct was thus estab-
lished that they ionged always to real
ize. They were able. even then. to see
the beauty of certain qualities and the
ugliness Of others. 1t was lovely to
see them trying to conform TO the hab-
1t In the household, of unfailing
courtesy and unselfishness and re-
straint. They often failed. They often
showed their temper. But they grew
TO he more and more ashamed Of their
failures.
Character cannot be built from the
outside. Coercion does not make for
strength-Only for compliance. That.
1t seems to me, Is the great mistake
some parents make They exact obedi-
ence when they should instill princi-
pie. Inspire! That Is the better word.
Then the child will have an inner
: light to guide him. compass to steer
him RI carfa in goal
When the guiding hand is lifted. Sc
many are left with no deep convic-
tions-principles to shape their des-
tiny--but impulses. They may be good.
they may be bad, as life plays upon
their emotions and desires. To trust
10 them for guidance is like going out
upon stormy sea in tiny craft at
the mercy of tossing waves and wind.

SUGGESTIONS OF THE PAST
Peculiar Beliefs That Not SO Very
Many Years Ago Had Almost Uni
Versal Credence.

A reader furnishes us with q list
OF old superstitions which were part
OF our folk lore In this part of the
country before we had to have folk
lore societies to preserve this sort of
thing:
rooster Growing at the front door
meant visitor coming.
twig catching a young lady's dress
meant beau.
An itching ear meant that some one
was talking about you.
To turn back after starting meant
bad luck.
Opening an umbrella in the house
meant bad luck to the house.
A measuring worm on a woman's
frock meant new dress.
An itching left hand meant that you
would marry soon.
An itching right hand meant that
you would shake hands with q strang-
er.
Seeing the new moon over the left
shoulder meant one would soon get
money.
Probably most Of as are supersti-
tious about the number Ii, just as peo-
pie were a long time ago. Our own
superstitions will amuse a subsequent
generation. as those recalled by cur
reader amuse us. Only subsequent
generation can safely laugh at super
stitions. Socrates was put to death for
laughing at some OF the superstitions
OF the Greeks. Let us, then, laugh at
these and take the superstitiOns of our
own time as seriously as we please

Why factors Hate Cats"

Speaking at the International Wom-
ems Franchise club in London, Miss
Horniman, the English theatrical man
ager, told some entertaining stories of
theatrical experiences. Actors can
stand a good deal, she said, but they
hate cat. for they know that as long
as it is on the stage the audience can
look at nothing else. Miss Horniman
had some amusing stories Of the
Gayety cats. Trixie, who was killed
on the scene of her public triumphs by
the fall of the safety curtain. once
spoiled the last act of "Hindle Wakes"
by getting under table where the
actors could not see her, but the audi
ence could, and cheerfully pretending
to chase a mouse. Then strolling
across to the stage fire, she turned
from it with disdain and settled her.
self for warmth among the foOtlights.
Another cat intruded into a quiet
scene Of tragic farewell and led the
short-sighted lover on a futile chase
among the overturning furniture.

Merely a Coed Story

Wars produce many stories Of fc-
ton, some Of which the oftener they
are told the more they are believed to
be true. The Civil war was no ex-
ception to this rule, and the story of
the apple tree is one Of these fictions
based on slight foundation Of fact.
There was, indeed, an apple orchard
on one side of the hill occupied by the
Confederate forces. Running diagonal
ly up the hill was wagon road, which,
at one point. ran very near one Of the
trees, SO that the wheels of the We
hicles had on that side cut off the
roots Of the tree, leaving little en-
bankment. General Babcock, of my
staff, reported to me that when he first
met General Lee he was sitting on this
embankment, with his feet in the road
below, and his back resting against
the tree. The story had no other foun-
dalton than that Like many other
good stories, 1t would be very good If
1t was only true.-Memoirs Of

SHAFT is WELL PROTECTED
Washington Monument Made Immune
From Lightning by Scheme That
Has Proved Its Worth.

The apex of the Washington monu-
ment is surrounded with parallel
bands. The bands are studded with
golden points. The bands are made of
gold-plated iron foot wide, and
the points are spaced foot from one
another.
According to the original plan Of
the monument 1t was protected from
lightning by an aluminium tip that was
connected with the metal framework
Of the elevator. During the very first
summer after the monument was COM
pleted, however, 1t was struck twice.
and a piece Of stone was Clipped from
the top.
Experts from all the scientific de-
partments of the government were
called on to c0ntrive a plan for the
better protection Of the shaft. They
agreed on a number of iron bands.
heavily galvanized and gold plated, to
prevent rusting.
The bands are connected with the
aluminium point of the monument, and
the framework of the elevator, and at
the base iron cables lead the electric
ity into a deep well. where it harm
lessly expends its force. The prOtec-
ton has proved to be perfect.

PEAK where NOAH LANDED
Mount Ararat, in Northwestern Per-
STA, Is Now Part Of a Recently
Created Buffer" State.

Youthful students Of sacred history
If they will look up the map of the
near East, will find in the extreme
northwestern part of Persia a noun
tain peak marked Mount Ararat. That
should give them a fine starting point
fQr they will remember that it was on
Mount Ararat that Noah, in the Bib
lical account landed. Mount Ararat
IS the loftieSt peak in Azerbaidjan,
1900 feet above sea level, but If they
nave neglected news from Europe
they may not know that Azerbaidjan
Is a new republic established by the
political strife in eastern Europe In
the expectation that 1t will act rs q
political and military buffer for some
Of the great nations.
The inhabitants Of Azerbaidjan are
Persians, Armenians. Kurds, Tartar
Turks and Arabs, whose valleys are
veritable garden spots. It ranks In
statistics as one Of the most produc-
tive spots in all Persia, but young
readers will find their chief interest in
the fact that it contains Mount Ara
rat, which gave Noah his first shelter,
according to the accepted narrative.
The erection of Azerbaidjan as a buff
fer state brings the remote past and
the immediate present together in a
way which may also awaken the in
terest of those who have moved past
the years of youthful curiosity.-Pitts-

Radioactive Lead.

At least two kinds of lead exist,
writes Prof. Theodore w. Richards in
Science. One, the ordinary metal dis
seminated throughout the world; an
other, form of lead apparently pro-
duced by the decomposition of uran-
ium, radium being enc of the inter-
mediate products. If we leave out of
consideration the probable inessential
difference in radio activity, the two
kinds are very closely if not exactly
alike in every respect, excepting
atomic weight, density and immediate
ly related properties involving weight,
such as solubility. Thorium lead APP
pears to be a third variety. with SIM

stances different elements. or the

Mast.Eurniahinu Tree,

In Canada and eastern United
States the larch. sturdy tree, which
belongs to the pine family, often grows
so or 60 feet high and is generally
known as hackmatack, while In the
Central states it is called tamarack.
The European variety is even taller
and has longer leaves which don beau
tiful autumn tints before falling.
On account of it's long, tapering
form, the tree is extremely useful for
masts in sailing vessels, telegraph
poles, and variety Of purposes. and
as it is common from the Arctic circle
to the United States, it Is easily found
for the especial use for which 1t is

European Jiu-Jitsu.

Jiu-Jitsu is supposed to come from
Japan, but an art Of self-defense vir-

Europe during the seventeenth cen
tury. Its principles are expounded in

lished at Amsterdam in 1874. which
bears the long explanatory title: THE
