MUCH FUS ABOU anmn In Mutrn Ho a Vacuum Clean- Good gracions me, what a fuss there Js about bringing up children now: adays, anyway! In order to do i you've got-to-buy a:Hbrary with-each child. Bvery time the baby squawks you quickly . look: up your: Develop ment of Child Character and see how this squawk 1s ‘going to affect his future career as a statesman. Every time whsn your infant daughter won’t miud you-say to yourself, “Quick, quiek! my -Psychology of Education! It 1 don’t control her'in just the right ‘way she may make a terrible mistake in selecting a husband.” The fact is; & ohild in the modern household fa studted as carefully as a new vacuum elapner. | Thank, tbrt\mn. it was different in my young days! When I was a child people made the best of children—as ohtldren.. . They weren't the kind-:to sit around ‘and say solemn-like, “Now, here’s a nice.pine- board. . Some day|- it's going to be a beautiful - china oloset or an oak desk. Meantime we won't treat it like a board, but like a china closet that is to be.” Their plan was to use that board in patch- ing up the fences or some such hum- ble thing, and to let the furniture ca- reer take care of itself. Consequent: 1y, when I was a child I kept quiet in #dchoot, “minded” my parents—some- times with the persuasion of a cat switch that hung by the kitchen man- tel—and did such chores as watching the turkey eggs, picking up rotten ap ples and scrubbing the kitchen chairs, This work didn’t hurt me one bit, and when I played I had the best time in the world. As for my shy and precious “individuality” you can just believe there was nobody standing round to take it out of its wrappings before it was ready to come.—Corinne Lowe in the Country Gentlewoman. "AMUSEMENT THEIR SOLE Al Few Go to the Theater to Think or in Any Way to Induce Ac- tivity of the Mind. How many people go to the theatel to think or to be even ordinarily alert! The actor, facing them, can tell you better than one of the listeners, for he has a chance to watch'.the ha rometer of facial expression. Yet from the front it is possible to see that s great many either are incnpnble of keeping up with “rapid-fire stuff” ot do not propose to be forced into, as in & boxing match. For them, the obvloul and the spectacular, with perhaps, a little music that is easily assimilated. The foregoing, it can be seen, is not meant to apply to plays which need.the student as a complement.

Clemenceau Story. It is said that Monsieur Clemen- ceau, who bears the pleasant sobriquet of “the tiger,” is about to connect himself with a new journal to appear in the near future. This return to the limelight from which he had not with- drawn to any distance, gives occasion for some new stories concerning him. One of these is that a young man ap- plied to him for a place. “Do you know anything about foreign affairs?” asked the tiger. “Yes, monsieur,” was the answer, to which he modestly add- ed, “a little.” Clemenceau appeared greatly astonished. “Ah, truly! Do you know what is°the question of the Orient, the Austro-Hungarian problem, and pan-Slavic policies?” “Yes, mon- sleur.” Then “the tiger” turned on him. “This is- too wearisome. It would amuse me much more It You knew nothing at all.” Gun_Without Bullets. The bulletless gun has at.last made its appearance. - It 18.a German ' In- vention, and’ instead . of bullets” it shoots a gas which temporarily blinds and chokes the victim. The cartridge used contains several ingredients, which, when exploded, combine to: form ‘a vapor of a’pe- culiar character. The gun itself dif- ters very . little in appearance and mechanisin. from the ordinary double- action revolver. It hold: nve oart- ridges. _The shotless. gun iu intendsd prinet- pally for the protection of tourists, commercial travelers, doctors, cyclists, automobilists, bank ofl!cinls ponmen watchmen and policemen.
