from the very first day she started ts Kindergarten she will never go to another child's house and stay until o'clock without permission. This Is vital point There must be no hit-and-miss obedience To spank child one day for loiterinI and then go of to the club the next day and leave her to wander about as shf pleases after school is not consittent dis espline and any child soon realizes this Constant obedience becomes instinctivt habit, and the success of tlle whole sys- tenn depends on starting in time to disci- pline and maintain a steady hand ever though 1t sometimes is inconvient for tho parents.
 When baby first starts to deliberately throw his spoon off his high chair and throw his porridge about that is the time to teach obedience to the laws of table manners When he first hits you with his little fist because you have reproved him for a misdemeanor@tha is the time to instin into his mind respect for authority, and do 1t each time he strikes you until it becomes habit with him to respect you and your commands.
 The secret of making obedience habit Is keeping steady hold over the child's actions and directing him always in each little action until deliberate disobedience is reduced to a minimum. To forbid tha child not to do thing one day and then to permit him to do the same thing the next day is course of action which gives him no definite idea Of what real obedience is- "Consistency-thou-- art a jewel' Is no more truly applicable any where than in discipline of children And the next law of successful training in | obedience is to discriminate wisely be- tween the act of impulse and the malice aforethought conduct.

Great Mems Love Letters
aIerlmee,s Letters to an Ineognita.

AIerimee's Letters to an Incognita.
 The love letters of Prosper Merimee ad- dressed to "Incognita," have always at tracted great deal of attention through the fact that the young lady to whom they were written has never been identi- fed and many of the writer's friends, piqued because he had not confided in them, insists that there was no secret to tell, for "Ineognita" was a myth, and the letters romance with which some pretty details of actual life had been woven to keep up the mystification.
 Prosper Merimee was born in Paris in 1903, and died in Cannes September 23, 1870. This singular correspondence ex- tends from 1S42 to 1870. Some writers believe the letters were addressed to an English woman and others to a French woman.
 The Merimee letters are most charming from literary standpont. Among the earliest he wrote: You allude to special reasons that prevent you from seeking to be with me. I respect secrets and will not pry into your motives Some kind busybody may have taken me for a text of sermon that sways you. Love exeus- es all; but we must be quite sure it is love.
 Your splendid black eyes are con- siderable element of my admiration for you. I am old and nearly insensible to beauty, yet on hearing fastidious man say that you were handsome I could not repress feeling of sadness, and for this reason that I am horribly jealous q am not the least in love with you) of my friends and distressed at the thought that your beauty exposes you to the attentions of men who only appreciate in you that which attracts me the least@
 The following is an especially clear ex- tract: You jest in saying so charmingly that you are afraid of me. You know that that am ugly capricious in temper always abstracted and often toFmenting when suffering, Do you not find all this reassuring? You are no pythoness; you will never be in love with me. You are combination of the angel and-the devil but the latter rredominates. You call me a tempter Dare to say that this word l does not apply more strongly to yourself Have you not thrown a bait to me, poor little fish that I am? And, holding me at the end of your line and keep me dancing between heaven and earth until weary of the. sport it may please you te cut me loose, and shall swim about with the hook in my gills, but never again to find the angler.

Manlind's debt to the volcano has been more fully recognized by results of recent researches. Contrary to the popular belief that the volcano is an enemy it is one Of Inankind's s best friends.

 One of the most tremendous velca- aic explosions in history was that of Mt. KatBai, in Alaska.
 Dr. Robert F. Griggs, headed the National Geographic Society's expe- ditions to study Katnai and was the discsoverer of it's neighbor natural wonder, the Valley of Ten Thousand smokes
 Though unaware of the mighty up- heaval, every inhabltant of the Unit ed States felt it's effects; one of which was the cold, damp summer of 1912 caused by the inteTception of so much sunlight by the dust from the erlp- ton which quickly was carried around the world. Even in cloudless Sahara the sky was overcast; and it is be- lieved that succession of such erup- tions could plunge the earth into an other ice age.
 Katmai's terrific explosion was un- noticed because it was so remote Had the upheayal occurred in New York City the sulphurous fumes would haVe polluted the air everywhere east of the Rocky mountains; the noise would have Feverberated like an artillery du- el across the central States; and the lower Hudson itself would have beer a giant tomb with few ruins even te tell the story.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
WALK IN THE LIGH1

But if we walk in the light, we have Fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ. His Son eleanseth us from all sin. I John IT. Do we not need above all things to be assured that all our darkness comes from within or from our immediate surroundings and that we can if we will rise above it into an atmosphere where i'll is light.
 Everyone knows that his life is not all that it should be, his character not so noble as it might be; even thou he try to convince himself to the contrary. and his plea would not bear his only candid in- yestigation, therefore he is condemned by his own conscience. Unkind thoughts, selfish thoughts, vain and foolish thoughts
 may not be looked upon as sinful but they darken the mind which scherishes them by shutting out the vision of God and of Gods loving presence.
 And Gods great message to man, the great mission of the Bible, is to make known to us the fact that all this dark ness, however caused is an abnormal condition and need not be permanent. It is earth-born and therefore should he eyanescent., Just as the sun shines with equal brightness all the time and in all directions, so there is no dinlming or weakening of the light that shines from the face of God upon all His works. Just as all physical darkness is earth born, caused by clouds which rise from the earth or by the shadow of the earth it. self, so our mental, moral and spiritual
 darkness is earth born. Above the clouds
 and away from the shadow of the earth 1t is always light. And we can live in the light of God all the time by living above the clouds of our own making and away from the shadow of earth-born doubts and fears
 This then, is the message, the great
 message, which God sends to man. that
 God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. There are no doubts or uncer. tainties in His mind, He never cherishes
 unkind thoughts. His great desire is te
 help and bless.
 We can at all times, even in the great est darkness, look up with the assurance gaze the beauty of Gods smile is toe often of our own making. Our clouds
 of perplexity and anxiety would disap- l pear if we could realize the fact that l Gods love and Gods presence and pro tectien is over and around us at all 1 time, just outside the cloud which hind
 CT us from seeing it.
 God is light and fin Him is no dark tness at all; therefore we, His children have no right to walk in darkness Darkness shuts us fsgt from fellowship with God and is therefore a very evi 1 thing, as well as very unpleasant ex- l perience. Gods remedy for our dark. ness is to make us sharers of His life 'In Him was iife'' John says, "and the life was the light of men, Tn propor | ton as we allow the life of God to talst
 possession of us and dominate oel thoughts and our lives in that proror-
 tien we shall be as free from darknes. as God Hirnself

of My Elves i,i

of My Eyesm
 With little more delicate sentiment he wrote from Paris some months later: What is your malady? Some heart sor- row? Some mysterious phrases of yours would seem to imply as much. You both suffer and enjoy through the head, but between ourselves. do not believe that you are yet in the enjoyment of that wis GUS called heart, which is only developed between twenty-five years of age in the forty-sixth degree of latitude. Now you are knitting your beautiful black eye brows and saying 'The insolent fellow, to doubt that have heart
 This is indeed the great pretension of the day; since the manufacture of such numbers of such so-called passionate ro- manees and poems, all women pretend to have heart. Wait yet a while, when you have a heart in earnest, send me the tidings. You will then regret the happy times in which you only lived by the head and the ills you now suffer will seem only pinpricks in comparison with tht stabs that will rain upon you with ths birth of passion.

BLISTER RUST IN ooNNEcTIcUT.

Time and again has 1t been demon strated in the fighting of pests and dis ease that the same results might have been obtained by muchs less effort had such work been. undertaken sooner and at the time when warnings of impend- ing trouble were given.
 In different sections of Connecticut in connection with the work of reforesta- tion there have been set out many acres of white pine. Already many acres ex- ist and from these tracts the owners are in time certain to get good price as well as contribute to the states de- mands for white pine timber, provided this growth is protected against fire and disease.
 It is no secret that damage is done to the white pine by the 50 called blister rust, a fungus disease that passes part of its existence on the white pine and part fen the currant or geeseberry bushes and it is from the latter that 1t is carried to the pine trees. It does not spread from pine to pine.
 The value of the service that is being rendered by the Connecticut experiment station can be measured from the state ment issued to the effect that there are 40,O00 acres of white pine in the state and that 1t has a crew of men at work removing the wild currant and gooseber- ry bushes in the northwestern part Of the state where they are plentiful.
 But as might be appreciated that Is not a matter that should be left for a few to do. The menace is fully under stood. The destruction of the large acreage of white pine would mean a heaNR loss. Removal of currant and gooseberry bushes within thousand feet of the pines will prevent fhe spores of the disease being carried by wind and insects to the trees, and such a warning would seem to be sufficient for all those interested in white pine woodland to take the necessary preventive measures and not wait for someone else to do It foz them. It is protective work of the best kind that the experiment station crew is rendering but many hands among those vitally concerned can do the jeE much quicker and cover a much larger territory. And the time to do it Is nov and not after the trees have been dam aged or destroyed.

CHILD TRAINING
That Problem of obedience. By Edith Loehridse Reid.


 Have you ever stopped to consider that most of the annoying things that children do are not deliberate disobedience? Most of the time they act either thoughtlessly or through mistake.
 Just glance over today for instance in your own home. You feel tired and ner- yous and know that things have seemed to go wrong. And you probably have scolded the children for doing things that made you trouble or work. But did they really mean to?
 Julia tore her new gingham dress climbing a tree to rescue Nuggins, the pet kitty. Now Julia didn't say I'm go- ing to climb this tree and tear my dress because mother isn't looking" But she came along home from school and saw poor kitty rowling from the topmost branch. where Fido had chased her. And in Julia's heaft was just one desire-to help her pet down. She acted on impulse and not because she intended to disobey.
 Now the hole is in the dress and has to be mended-but surely if we think of the accident as such and not as a direct dis rt<lrd of eur commands, we can feel nc resentment toward the child. We mohers all tore our dresses when we were small and our mothers had to mend them. So let us not classify such acts as these un- der disobedience. But let us now consider another incident. You have told Julia not to loiter on the way home from school; but she goes over to Mary's and plays until o'clock and you do not know where she is. This is direct dis. obedience, But right here is a secret which every mother knows, although sht may not admit 1t If a child has been consistently taught to come home at ones

A NEW CITIZENSHIP LAW.

Much interest is sure to he manifested in the action of the lower house of con- gress in submitting to Secretary Hughes a bill which has been passed by t for the purpose of getting his views before sending it to the senate. Just why this course wasn't taken before acting on the bill is not indicated, and the only inference is that, questions have since been raised which make it advisable to determine what the complications are likely to be.
 This is the bin by which American women who marry aliens would be per mitted to retain their American citizen ship instead of being obliged to take the citizenship of their husbands. The sit uatfon is one that involves treaties al ready existing between nations by which such matters of citizenship are estab- lished The adoption of the law would mean that the treaties would be violated inasmuch as it is now recognized that each nation bound by the treaties rec ognize the right of each other to deter mine the qualifications for citizenship. This is a matter which nations zealeusly guard, and when treaties exist they are not to be switched about by one whim and another. If there is a desire to end the treaties there is an established way of doing so, which 1t would be prefera- ble to follow, after which other treaties might be arranged to take into consid7 eration the new conditions involved in the proposed legislation.
 It is thus question of our respensi- bility under prevailing treaties rather than the merits of the new legislation which Secretary Hughes is asked to pass his judgment. Till he is heard from in that respect it is not likely that there will be any further progress with the legislation.
