This summer I accompanied the musical critic of this great home and fireside daily when she went to choose wall paper for her home. An| unctuous salesman presented black and white wall paper for her ap- proval, “Impossible!” quoth she.'“Do_you mean to say that anybody in Oma- ha would use such paper in their homes?” “We papered thirty homes with this very paper this very week, madam,” replied he. “Then I shall record every murder and suicide T read in The Bee hence- forth and see if I cannot trace these wild deeds to the homes of your black-and-white wall paper patrons,” said our lady of musical mentions, Crayon portraits and bridge whist rizes also fell under Dr. Haney's n. “Give them to Rademanthus, the ash man, to convey them ‘to the bourne from which there is no re- turning,’” said he.

A Japanese scholar says that it is in reality a rep- resentation of the Buddhist diety, Ziro, whose chief function is guar- ianship over children, but the Chi- nese rice growers have adopted it as being a friend to them and their agri- cultural affairs, This shows one of the curious fea- tures of the worship of idols and fetishes. In the course of time, and as they spread from country to coun- try and from race to race, new, or additional powers are ascribed to them, until in seme cases they are no longer recognizable except through | their characteristic shapes.

It springs from the irrepressible exer- cise of the imagination. The advance of knowledge does not banish it, but to some degree tames it. Always it lurks in the back of the mind of the ?zmt civilized and educated person. he highest intelligence does not al- together shut it out. Man-needs some means of gfatifying a dim sense of inscrutable power acting upon him and his surroundings, in undefined ways, and he finds that means in sym- bols and images, which consciously or unconsciously he regards as ‘posses- sing indwelling spirits. To take an illustration in the line of this Chinese god of the rice field, I know an ancient statue dug up in'a field near Dijon, France, which has been set up in the midst of the field, and is regarded by the highly intelli- gent owner—although he does not proclaim his belief—as a kind of mag- net of good influence for his husban- ry. If he lost that statue he would be as forlorn as some other man whose favorite horse chestnut had escaped through a hole in his pocket. Openly he speaks of its archaeological inter- est; secretly he cherishes the recollec- tion that-many centuries ago it was shaped for a goddess of beneficence, and he doesn’t laugh at that when he is alone with the statue. The idea that there, are super- human beings which foster the culti- vation of the earth is a very old one. The intellectual Greeks and the prac- tical Romans both had gods and god- desses who were the special patrons and protectors of the farmers and the | guardians of the fruits of the earth, such as Demeter. or Cerus, Dionysiys, Bacchus, etc. But there were older “carth dieties” than these. 1t 'is not improbable that some of the carved human figures of prehis- toric times represented gods and god- desses believed to preside over the chase and the first feeble attempts of men to make the earth feed him with | greater regularity and abundance. in embryo in his new clerk. Why not As the child grows older the ques- tion of accustoming him to sleep in the dark will also have to be con- sidered. “There will be no difficulty on this score with healthy, normal children who have been trained from infancy to go to sleep almost as soon as they are laid in their little cots, but as the child gréws older his powers o imagination become an important fac- tor to be reckoned with. Some children are highly nervous and subject to night terrors, although patience and firmness on the part of the mother will help a great deal towards curing this condition, yet it would be absolute cruelty to force a child subject to nervous fears to sleep pty india- | in the dark.

The tight little “shut out” never get very far, never do much for themselves nor for anyone else. They never circulate the good i things they have or know. That kind of woman never repeats a compliment to its object. She says she is afraid she might be considered a flatterer. M’s flattery is an insincere compliment. How does she know that John Gray's remark that: “Molly Haynes has a prettier com- plexion than any other girl in town.” isn't sincere? He may be mistaken. But since he said it to Mrs. Tight's little shut out and not Molly Haynes, herself, he probably meant it. Why deprive Molly of the pleasure of knowing that one person thinks it.
