THE TEACHING.
OF BEAUTY
Widely Known Lecturer and
Writer and a National Authority
On Training of Children.
BY VIM. A. McKeever-

IVY HY do you teach your
" child his music, his
w painting or other spe-
cialty? Do you want him to "show
Off" Is your motive to have him
appear we'll in society. That is all
a mistake.
Teach your child from the first
that the purpose Of his art is that
he may use it as an agency for the
expression of it's beauty 1t is the
offering of his love, his soul, to
the increase of the well-being Of
society.
Suppose your little girl is taking
piano lessons. Do not; attempt to
urge her to practice by suggesting
the mere applause that may be
hers as she performs before an au-
dience. Do not do a weaker thing
by reminding her of the regret the
future may hold for her in case
she is unskilled in music.
Teach her that she is to use the
music as her best means Of taking
some JOY to others, that by it she
is to make someone glad who
otherwise might be in sorrow;
that by 1t she will often make
someone do better than he other
wise would have done.
II your boy is becoming some
thing Of a specialist as an orator,
you can easily spoil his genius by
reminding him of how he is to
lord 1t over some other person in
debate or in the world of affairs.
1t is far better to teach him to
think OF his special art as an in
strument of good work and service
to the world.
He Is not to use 1t fundament-
ally for getting something which
will serve a selfish end, but rather
as an avenue whereby he is to give
himself wherever he may be
needed.
Let society itself take care of
the matter of applause your child
Is to receive for the performance
In the line of his specially. There
will be enough of that. 1t is an
invariable rule that every well.

quired by young person will find,

Tale of Monte Carlo.

mantle and generous.
Two great wars were the most
striking incidents in its history:
one within, for the suppression
of slavery; the other, without, to
prevent the Qualification Of war,
the brutal hegemony of one peo-
pie over all, the exaltation of
mystic imperialism.
For. the first time In history,
a democracy had interviewed in the
fate of a world through the CEN
turtles subjected to the rule Of
kings. The modern republics had
until now lived an inner and re-
firing life. The wars Of the French
Revolution had been defensive.
The Republic of the Convention
had fought to exist, since all the
monarchs had wanted to suppress
it. The American Republic had
voluntarily entered the struggle,
without being threatened by any
immediate danger, because Of a
mandate Of its conscience, because
OF the responsibility devolving
upon its greatness, it's democratic
strength.
The American combatants had
fought for simple and robust
ideals; the right of the weak to
live, the dignity and freedom of
mankind, the elimination Of wars,
understanding between peoples,
sovereign right ruling the life of
nations; things which shortly be-
fore had made the Old World
skeptics smile.
All the countries of Europe had
frontiers to re-establish, strips
of land to claim. The United
States of America was not ask
ing for anything; it did not want
anything.
Each one of the contestants,
on thinking of victory, calculated
the indemnities it should collect.
to compensate for its endeavors
and sacrifices. The American
Republic spent more than all the
other nations. The maintenance
Of each Of its soldiers cost It as
much as seven soldiers from the
other countries, and, neverthe-
less, it had entered the war and
had withdrawn from the war
without demanding any particular
reimbursement.
Lubimoff admired it's enormous
strength in victory. Never had
any empire in the past reached
such greatness-not even Rome.
The Prince realized for the last

over her hayward son, Teenie-
Vicente.
Nothing passed Teenie-weenie.
He trotted over the cornfield
and across the meadow. He had
never ventured across the meAa-
dow land before, and he felt very
big and quite proud of himself.
He hadn't gone far when q
strange thing happened. In some
way or other his little hind foot
slipped. When he looked down
at 1t, instead of standing straight
on the limb both OF his hind feet
were turned almost halfway
around. My! How Teenie-
Weenie's little heart thumped
against his sides.
"Oh, dear! Oh. dearp' And the
big tears rolled down Teenie-
Weenie's cheek. What shall I
do"
There, there, Mother Field
Mousie was right" said a kindly
voice, and Mrs. Sparrow hoped
down beside the weeping mousie.
''She has been dreadfully worried
about you. There is a lot you
must learn before you grow.
What's the trouble now"
Teenie Vicente sobbed and
pointed to his funny-looking feet.
1--WE twisted them, and just
know I can't walk" he sobbed.
''Oh, oh, OH laughed Mrs
Sparrow. "Your feet are all
right. That's the way they should
be. Didn't you know that? Sure
enough, every little field-mousie's
hind feet are constructed
that way so they can turn almost
half way around. That's one of
the things you learn in school.
Now turn them around and run
along" And with a merry chirp
Mrs. Sparrow sailed away,
Teenie-We wiped his tears
on a leaf and Strengthened his
feet out, but instead of going on
he turned around and ran home
as fast as he could go.
His mama din't scold him g"
ask any questions. But that was
the last time he ever complained
about anything again. He went
to school with his brothers and
sisters, and found out there was
plenty to be learned before he
could call himself a really grown
up little field-mousie.

; few r1onths-since he gave up
Villa Sirena-that Prince Mich

an questionable parsonage. Per-
haps, with the lapse of years,
others would be as he was. His
tory repeated itself. Times of
peace and plenty inevitably pro-
duced men such as he had been.
But at present humanity had been
restored by grief and sacrifice,
humanity was anxious to live. and
longed for something new, without
knowing exactly what. and was
working to secure it.
In a Dilemma.
Michael looked on himself with
pity. What was he going to- do?
What could men like himself do
for their fellow men?
He recalled the luncheon in the
little house of Don Marcos. He
was still offended by the atten-
tons of the colonel at table, cut
ting his meat, looking after him
like a child, trying to make up
for. the absence Of his arm. 1t
was something disgraceful!
Farewell to Prince Lubimoff!
Even If he still wanted
to continue his selfish existence,
entirely given up to pleasure, it
would be impossible for him
He was a cripple; he considered
himself quite old.
Besides, he felt poor. For the
first time he recalled with GER
tain satisfaction the heritage
left him by Alicia. It was not
worth anything at that moment,
but who knew but what some
day! He dreamed that
perhaps those Mexican mines
might replace his lost fortune in
Russia; and then
He felt a strong desire to re-
gain his wealth in order to do
good; a longing something like
remorse. He knew the ineffi-
cheney Of individual effort in
remedying human misery; a mere
drop lost in the ocean, a grain
OF sand on the beach. But what
difference did that make? He
was satisfied in giving hanniness
to fifty unfortunate beings, among
