Just Like Other Folks,

He was a clergyman in small
town. Whenever the fire bell rang
during church service there was apt
to be CONSERVATION. Every one won
dered If his house was on fire.
So the clergyman's rule was that
at the first alarm one of the usbers
should find out where the fire was
and If it was a bad one and bring
the news to him on a slip of paper.
Then he stopped for a moment and
announced where the fire was. In
this way the service went on, prac-
tically uninterrupted and no one left
the church.
And, the clergyman said, ct al
ways want to know right away my
self, too."

tute, organized in Paris by professors
exiled from Russia. l remember how
Lenin was very agitated before his
first lecture, but upon reaching the
stage he at once mastered himself
at least externally. Professor Gam
barov, who came to hear him, ex-
pressed his impression to Deutsch in
these words: "a real professor" The
kindly fellow thot that he was ex-
pressing the highest praise in
that way.
| ENIN was given to such agitation
~ at public appearances much later,
too, and the less his audience was of
his own followers, the more formal
the occasion for speech, the stronger
his agitation grew. Externally Lenin
always spoke impetuously and rapidly,
so that his speeches were a cruel test
for the stenogranhers.
When i'll at ease, his voice sounded
unnatural, had a reverberating and
impersonal sound resembling an echo
But when Lenin felt that the particu
lar audience which he was address
ing strongly needed that which he had
to say, his voice acquired extraordi
nary vivaciousness and elastic per
suasiveness, not oratorical in the pro
per sense, but conversational, except
that it was increased to stage proper
tions.

ness, in readiness to go to the end.
1t can be said, returning to the rela-
tions of Lenin and Martov, that even
before the split and the convention,
Lenin was known as hard" and Mar
toy as soft" And both of them
knew it.
ONE Sunday l went with Lenin and
Madame Lenin to the Socialist
church in London, where a Social
Democratic meeting was intermingled
with the singing of revolutionary
pious psalms. The speaker was a
typesetter who returned home from
Australia. Lenin translated to us in
whispers his speech, which sounded
quite revolutionary least for those
days. Then all rose and sang: Gal
mighty God, make that there be no
kings and no rich people," or some
thing like that.
There is a multitude Of revolu-
tionary and Socialist elements scat
tered in the English proletariat," Lee
min said on that occasion when we
left the church, "but it is all combined
with conservatism, religion, supersti-
ton, and absolutely cannot break thru
and spread"
1t is interesting to observe that "a
sulich and Martov both lived apart
from the English labor movement, en-
tirely absorbed in the spark and in
their environment. Lenin, on the
other hand, undertook from time to
time Independent investigations in the
field of the English labor movement

Typographical imbecility."
THE date fixed for the second con
vention was approaching and ii
was finally decided to move the
"Sparkist" center to Geneva, Switzer-
land. There living was incomparably
cheaper and connection with Russia
easier. Lenin grudgingly agreed to
this. 1 was sent to Paris with the un.
derstanding that l come to Geneva

for the convention.

think in Rue Choisy ITO, organized
not by the High Institute, but by the
Paris group Of "Sparkists." The hall
was packed. After the speech the
"Sparkists" went with the lecturer, ac-
cording to custom, to cafe. Every
body was extremely satisfied and the
lecturer himself was joyfully excited
The treasurer spoke with satisfac-
ton of the receipts netted from the
lecture of the treasury of the Spark.
1t was in all probability something
like rs to 100 francs-a sum not to be
jeered at! All this happened in the
beginning of 1908.
1T was during that sojourn Of Lenin
| that it was decided to show him an
opera. N. l. Sedova, member of the
"Sparkist" group, was commissioned
to arrange it. Lenin went to and from

CTS, The idea back of this is good tinnating his powers through fear of discovering they were not yet up to something asked of them..
 Ny old nurse was very fond of the adage; .sTry, try and try again and at last you will succeed" and repeated it to me oyer and over again. Grown ups, as we'll as children, only progress by trying to accomplish things just q little beyond their powers. There is nothing to be ashamed of in failing to be absolutely successful at the first sttempt. Until we test our powers we cannot know them, and, of course this is especially true of children. It is true that we should never let them say, "I can't" and let that end 1t, but we certainly should not make them feel that there is any disgrace attached to their failure to understand or to ac- eomplish some action which is new to them.
 We should show them how to the best of cur ability and their ability to understand, but if we find that we have jumped too far ahead in what we asked of them, OF if they find their ambitions are beyond their powers, they should never be made to feel ashamed. The
 
 even though met with failure at first, is invariably q thing that must be stimulated and encouraged, never the opposite.
 Many people have the fault all through their lives of quickly saying T can't" and letting 1t go at that They are the people who look at others who have progressed for beyond them and explain it by '.good luck" or 'pufl" or some other reason which excuses themselves. What they do not realize is that probably from early childhood those people have been taught that there is no such thing as T can't" remember how much this was brought home to me during the weeks I took course at the Presbyterian hospital in New York. "I can't" can naver enter into the vocabulary of a nurse. Excuses are not accepted and 1t is up to you to find out how you can do whatever job is handed to you.
 If were writing the above com maAdment I should write it:
 Thou salt not allow a child to say I can't but thou shalt teach him to alwaya say I will try" Then help him to accomplish it by himself"
 In other words, make your child Hse his own initiative and intelligence as much as possible. It is only in this way that he will develop. It is also only in this way that the things he learns will be of value to him and re- main with him. Often it is easier to do the task yourself, but it will never help the child.

Some Thoughts On Artificial
 F ding
By Dr. CHARLOTTE c, WEST


 The question of artificial feeding is always . grave one unless laboratory milk can be afforded. However, within recent years milk depots have been es- tablished in all the large cities where those who can pay only the regular price of milk, or who can pay nothing, receive not alone pure milk but instrue- tions in the method of preparing and feeding it to their babies.
 The importance of such instructions can best be appreciated by the state msnt that in all large cities the death rate among infants Is enormous, and that 1t is much greater among thesa that are bottle fed. One of the main reasons why this occurs Is that most babies cannot digest eow's milk in its natural state because 1t differs from mothers milk, and it must be changed or modified" to become as nearly like human milk as possible,
 To prevent undue handling and to facilitate the work 1t Is advised to prepare each days feedings at ones, fill the necessary number of nursing bottles, place these in a rack which comes for this purpose and set this en the ice. At feeding time, a bottle is removed, heated in hot water, when it is ready for use, Let drop fall ea your wrist, it should be faintiy warm. Never take the nipple in your mouth to a,see if the milk is right"
 Carelessness in making up the fssd- ings often results in serious trouble for the child. It is important to &C., quaint yourself with the difference bs- tween measures and weight. Never use haphazard methods.
 Be very accurate. Thus, two level tablespoonfuls of a substance equals one ounce by measure. It may Fey quiEe three or mere tablagpeenfHis to equal one ounce by weight. In meas uring, use 8 level spoonful. Never add

 One breakfast (ceffee) cup equais eight ounces.

Who Carried A Cow
 The Bagh-e-takht has its own par &eularl rlegend-an old one, perhaps, but tn form so unexpected as to make it eeem almost new and worth the telling,
 4 certain Shah was hunting in the valley of fShiFaz, and came by chance b village near the Bagh-e-Takht. In the village lived a man and his wife with beautiful daughter, and, having found great loveliness indeed, the mon arch repaired with his bride to the castle on the hillside, and as they sat together on the terrace a wonderful spotted deer suddenly appeared among the trees below and began scratching its ear with it's hind foot Bpringing to his feet, the shah seized his bow.

 A year after the shah again hunted nearby. Again the people came to pay homage. and the chief humbiy asked if his majesty had heard of the wonder of their village.

And soon, sure enough, a yelled figure ap- proached and climbed gracefully and easily up the steep path carrying on it's back an enormous COW.
 "Oh, woman,' cried the shah, ''oh. marvel of marvel Oh, wonder of won ders How can you perform such a diff ficult featg Through the veil a pair of dark eyes laughed at him, and a voice he seemed to have heard before said 1: "Ah, my lord, have you indeed forgotten the spotted deerG The cow was once tiny calf, so. after all, this, too, is only . matter of practice" And together they mounted once more the path to the eastle.-J.
