Clues to Character
Absence of Veneration.
BY J. O. ABEENETHY.

There is no more useful trait in the
mind when rightly balanced than
generation, for it is the basis of good
government. law. order. politenesa
and Difference for those in authority
and for the opinions of those who are
experienced.
Nencration combined with literary
faculties creates respect for anCient
history and antiquities: it gives tenS
der regard for the aged and for alt
persons. places and principles Cnus
tied to respect.
An absence of veneration makes
one impudent. irreverent, disrcspcct-
full and defiant; creates contempt for
law and custom and leads to- disre-
gard of sacred subjects. II gives
slight power fer Sclf-COntrol and ina
bility to control others.
Adults who possess 'sCoOped' or
pug nose or even a very short noSes
are unCOnsCioTSly rude and make inn
pudent remarks often without intend
ing to hurt the feelings of others.
Owners of this type of nose are UNI
able to control themselves and to be-
have with strict prOpriety.

pressed at the center and slightly

Your Baby and Mine

Fruits in Season.

We have been used for many years
to the giving of orange Juice to a baby.
beginning at the third or fourth
month. We know that even If the
orange juice is given directly before
milk feeding it does not "curdle'
the milk or make it difficult to digest.
We know that the baby must have
orange juice to supply him with vita
Minis, and in the case of an artificially
fed baby to prevent scurvy.
When the mother gets past the
stage of orange juice, prune juice and
tomato juice for this latter Is classed
as fruit, you know she rather loses
herself. She not sure which fruits
she dare and dare not give her grow
ing child. Most children love fruits.
and it is sometimes difficult to see why
one fruit is all right and another one
taboo.
Stick to the fruits first mentioned
the first year. They are safe and pro-
vide sufficient variety for the infant.
The second year one may add the
pulp of a ripe apple. pineapple, or
fresh peach juice, or pulp, and ripe
bananas. This latter is exceedingly
rich in nourishment and if sufficiently
ripe and served raw and mashed or
baked. is Il fine addition to the diet
One should be careful not to overfeed
bananas just because they are SO
nourishing and because they are so
easily swallowed that child has the
tendency to gobble them down whole
instead of carefully masticating them
Green bananas are hard to digest.
After the child is 21lz years old he
may have almost all of the fresh
fruits, being careful of the seedy ber-
ries and of plums. This latter, for
some reason. seems particularly hard
to digest, perhaps because there is a
greater acid reaction with this fruit
than with the others
In the warm weather children adore
fruit drinks. and these are good for
them and actually help to keep them
cooler. Any of the fresh fruits may
be used for variety of taste. and if
they are mixed with a cooked sugar
siruD and care IS taken not to give
them icy cold when a child is very
warm there is little harm no matter
how many glasses the child wants to
drink.
Almost any fruit will he found di-
Eestlble il it is cooked. But a great
deal of the benefit of fruits lies in the
fact that they are fresh and contain
vitamins which are lost in the cook

heat. And YOU know children Just
must have their vitamins, And this

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow planetary aspects are
rather adverse, and remain SO until
after sunset. when they assume
more favorable character and become
distinctly encouraging. 1t is not
good or an suspicious occasion for
starting something" and not suitable
for seeking fresh fields or pastures
new" There will be experienced a
sense Of disappointment and YOU
will have less selfconfidence than
usual. The proba ability Is that your
criticism will be directed against your
own efforts and not aimed at those of
others. In the evening very benign
influences will prevail. and these will
naturally contribute in a large degree
to the success of any and all social or
family reunions.
Children born tomorrow will during
infancy enjoy normal health, and they
promise to develop along ordinary
lines until just prior to the attainment
Of their ma jority. Al this time the
signs denote that they will experience
a rather serious illness which unless
skillfully treated, viii leave them in
weak and debilitated condition. Their
characters will not be strong, and it
will be only later in life that they will
learn to say and to mean no They
will in their early wears get into lots
of trouble. which will tax love and
affection to the utmost. ReSolute dis
cipline will accomplish much with
these children.
If tomorrow is your birthday,
YOU are meticulously careful, order
~. systematic and methodical. "A
place for everything and every
thing in its place is a religion with
YOU, and nothing distresses YOU quite
as much as untidiness or a lack of
neatness. You are never guided by
impulse, but bring to bear on consid-
Grafton of any problem deliberative
thought and mature judgment. You
are not superficial but go to the bot
tom of everything. and when you are
'all Courant' with any subject your
knowledge of it is profound. Nat
urally, you are not pyrotechnica1 nor
quick. What you do, however, is al
ways WELL correctly and thoroughly
done. You are q clear thinker, and
your opinions are carefully needed by
all those who know you well and can
appreciate the Conscientious efforts
you always make to arrive at just
and proper conclusion. You will apply
your safe and sane methods to affairs
of the heart, unless YOU mate in
Virgo.
Well known persons born on that
date are Ira d. SankeN. evangelist
and author. Placide l., Chapelle. arch
bishop; Bellamy Storer, lawyer and
diplomat; Rufus +. Zosbaum artist
and author; Frederick II. Bigelow, as.

determination though outnumbered
four to one in men and five to one
in cannon. But by II o'clock. with
only his Maryland and Delaware men
left. he found his retreat blocked by
Lord Corvallis Highlanders and
guards, while on his right was an
other enemy column and on his left
the treacherouS marshes. With a
handful OF brave Marylanders he held
off CORVALLIS while sending his other
regiments to escape through the
marshes. After the bravest stand Of
the day. his devoted little band was
overwhelmed and he was forced to
surrender his sword.
Happily for us, Gen. Howe did not
push his advantage and assault our
BROOKLYN entertainments. Happily for
him also. perhaps: for there we had
strong works and II regiments which
had no part in the battle. Happily
also. contrary wind held Sir Peter
Parker from sailing up the East River

Of escape.
It all happened with the greatest
dispatch and precision-on the enemy
side. In the early morning. Gen.
Howe marched in with 10000 men
from Jamaica Pass, taking the Amer
tcan front lines in the rear and sepa-
rating them from their camp. At the
same moment 10000 other redcoats

that was just as well. She didn't know
