HURTS THE SENSITIVE CHILD
ponstant Reminder of Its Deficiencies
or Peculiarities is Cruel and
Often Harmful.
It is cruel to constantly remind chll-
ifiren of their deficiencies or peculiari-
ties, according to Orison Swett Mar-
ten in. Success Magazine. Sensitive
jchildren are often seriously injured by
(the suggestion of inferiority and def-
ects are exaggerated which might have
been entirely overcome. This ever-
lasting harping against the bad does
|not help the child half as much as
peeping its mind full of the good, the
beautiful and the true. The constant
love suggestion, purity suggestion, no-
bility suggestion, will so permeate the
Jilfe after a while that there will be
nothing to attract the opposite. It
-jwiH be so full of sunshine, so full of
{beauty and love, that there "will be lit-
tle place for their opposites.
■ The child’s self-confidence should be
{buttressed, braced, encouraged in
(every possible way; not that he should
jbe taught to overestimate his ability
land his possibilities, but the idea that
lie is God’s child, that be is heir to an
{Infinite inheritance, magnificent possi-
bilities, should be instilled Into the1
{very marrow of his being.
INFLUENCE OF SALT WATER
Induces Some to-Drink, Others
Be Profane, and Others to Tell
Falsehoods.
. Thls^ls Slumber Land.
Here is a story about the soothing
quality of Flatbush air,\ says the
Brooklyn Eagle. Newcomers to Flat-
bush notice first of all that they don’t
seem able to get sleep enongh. At
first they have an idea that perhaps
it’s the malaria, but it is only the
heavy sea air which induces slumber.
A new resident in Flatbush asked
some friends of his in the district if
the experience was a common one.
“Oh, yes,” was the jjeply, “that !•
the case with everybody who moves
here. A certain woman who lives not
far from Eighteenth avenue started to
make three beds one morning at nine
o’clock. At seven o’clock that night
she had not yet-made the third. ‘The
beds looked so inviting and I was so
tired,’ she explained, ‘that whenever
I came to one I lay down and slept on.

CALHOUN AT THE OCULIST’S
r
!
Preaches Annual 8ermon.
What is known locally as "The
Vegetable Sermon” was given recent-
ly by the bishop of Stepney, England,
in Shoreditch church. The origin of
the sermon goes back almost two cen-
turies. Thomas Fairchild, a Hoxton
gardener, who died in 1729, be-
queathed a sum of money for the pur-
pose of paying a preacher to deliver
a lecture in the church "in the after-
noon of Tuesday in every Whitsun
week.” The lecture must be one of
the two following subjects: “The
Wonderful Works of God in Creation”
The Certainty of the Resurrection
Follette’s 8tory of the Darky Walt-
er Applied to Those Who
Fear Reciprocity.
United States Senator La Follette,
discussing reciprocity, said with a
smile:
"These fears are groundless. They
,are groundless to the point of being
ludicrous. They remind me, in fact,
of Calhoun Clay.
"bftlhoun Clay was a waiter at a sea-
side restaurant. The white glare of
the sun-drenched beach injured his
«yes, and he had to consulfean oculist.
•The oculist fitted him out with spec-
tacles, and, as he left the shop with
|the spectacles on his nose, he gave a
great start and halted before a huge
and extraordinary machine.
“Calhoun stared in awe at this ma-
chine for some time. Then he said:
‘“Wha’s dat, boss?’
“ That,’ said the oculist solemnly,
;Ts an ophthalmpmeter.’
I " ‘Sho’,’ muttered Calhoun, and he
(backed farther away, h|s eyes..still

,<When riding oh the harbor steam-
boats use your ears. Then you will
not need your eyes, nor your brains. By
paying heed to the intentionally audi-
ble remarks of your neighbor It will
be possible to pick up more inaccurate
information than in any other place iq
the city. The deck of a ferry or the
rail of a steamer acts curiously on the
human mind. If it does not know, it
will risk a guess, and the wilder the
guess the more willingly risked.
It is well known that salt water acts;
in freakish ways on the conscience. To
some it brings an overwhelming im-
pulse to get drunk; to others it brings
g -disposition to the freeest use of pro-
fanity; and still others, who Would
never think of fibbing from the win-
dows of a railroad train (dear old gen-

pers.—Boston Transcript
of the Dead, as Evidenced by Changes
in the Animal and Vegetable Parts of

preached in 1730 and has been deliv-
ered annually ever since.
Advocates Silence.
Silence is the element in which
great things fashion ^themselves to-
gether, that at length they may
emerge full formed and majestic, into
the daylight of Life, which they are :
henceforth to rule. . . . All the
considerable men I have known fore-
bore to babble of what they werq
creating and projecting, .Nay, in thy
own perplexities, do thou Ihyself but
hold thy tongue for one day; pn the
morrow how much clearer are thy
purpoge^*ftnd duties; what wreck and
rubbish have these mute workmen
within thee swept away wTSen intru-
sive noises were shut out.—Maurice
Fattening Foods.
White bread is fattening because we
rarely digest it completely. Starchy
foods are quite unaffected by the gas-
tric juices wkidh digest the meats.
Their digestive ferments are obtained
chiefly from the saliva in the mouth,
which therefore should be thoroughly
mixed with each mouthful before
swallowing. But white bread is so soft
and lacking in substance that we un-
consciously swallow it long before it
has had a fair chance to become suf-
ficiently fermented with .the digestive
saliva. The result is delayed diges-
tion (if digestion takes place at all),
and at the best the starch is very apt
to be converted into disfiguring, un-
wanted and unhealthful fat.
Inadequate.
The American tourist in France
clapped his boatman guide on the
Bhoulder and excitedly pointed to
where, a few yards away, several fish-
ermen were tugging at their lines and
making a splendid haul from the sea.
“What are they catching?” asked
the American eagerly.
“Fish!” was the prompt reply.
