Conservation of The felions OiTatof CHILL) 7 IT IS more Im portant for a nation to con serve the physi cal and moral life of its help less citizens \\ than to pre o \j serve Its natur -lojT al resources. Money expend ed In the con servation of the ~ child will save money now spent in combating conditions caused by the neglect of the proper authorities to provide instruction for those whose duty it Is to care for the children. The home is the basis of society, and no civic, social or physical bet terment can be reached except through intelligent, purposeful effort to raise the standards of home life, of marriage and its duties, or fatherhood and motherhood, and of citizenship. The God-given function of parenthood is the highest, most far-reaching duty of humanity, and the permanence and sacredness of marriage is the founda tion of society. All students of social conditions seeking the cause of crime and dis ease, trace them to Inefficient homes. Money and infinite labor are expended on charity, on the care .-f defective, dependent and delinquent children, on hospitals, reformatory-, orphan asy lums and prisons. Practically nothing is done to remove the causes which lie far back of the conditions, and which are largely preventable. Monies are inefficient because there is nothing in our present educational system to fit young people for wise home-makers. intelligent parents, broad-minded, public spirited citizens. There is no provision by which young parents may procure the knowledge that is vital for the protection of the life and development of the minds and souls of the children committed to their care. Instinct does not make parents any more than it makes wise specialists in any other branch of work. The National Congress of Mothers, from whose declaration of principles the foregoing statements are gleaned, is doing practical and efficient service in seeking to reach every home, every parent, and extend a knowledge of child nurture. The congress is strong ly urging such provision as will give to parents the knowledge which will do more than anything else to check the evils which menace society. The terrible death rate among in fants can be checked only by giving to every expectant mother the knowl edge of what the baby needs in food, sleep, clothing and care. The time ha 3 come when every nation, through a special department, should provide the data concerning Infants which may be used by boards of health and mothers. The parents' associations and mothers' circles for the study of the welfare of the child in home, sehool and state should be co-extensive with the Romance in Arctic Wooing Sometimes Suitor Seizes Cirl by the Hair and Drags Her Home- Eskimos Marry Young.

Study courses and libraries tor par ents should be provided for every par ents' association. As strength is gained by unity of action, these asso ciations should unite in local, state and national bodies in the cause of the welfare of the child, and in diffusion of intelligent knowledge of its re quirements. A thorough knowledge of the child's physical needs will result in the elim ination of many diseases due to parental ignorance. A knowledge of the high, holy and pure functions of sex inculcated in the receptive minds of children by parents would go far toward preventing the social evil —il- legitimate children, venereal diseases and unhappy marriages. The knowl edge of how to develop honesty, re liability, purity of mind and respon sibility in children, would prevent much crirninalty. The laws of health, particularly in relation to food, venti lation and sanitation, if thoroughly un derstood and enforced, would have a great influence on health of mind and body. The present methods of caring for the dependent, neglected, delinquent, defective and wayward children are far from adequate. The care of chil dren in individual homes rather than institutions and orphan asylums can not be too strongly recommended. The group system, with house-mother and distinct family life, has proven most successful in Institutions. The placing of wayward children in homes where experts in child care may study and guide them, instead of in reform atories, is now advised by the leading students of sociology. Study of the physical conditions of the child, which may be the chief cause of moral failure, is highly Im portant. The teaching of speech to deaf children, without the use of sign language, should begin at an early age. The prevention of deafness may be ac complished by segregating the deaf, thus preventing Intermarriage and the perpetuation of the defect. The pre vention of blindness Is possible through widespread dissemination of knowledge as to the cause and means of prevention, with laws regulating —and a peace-loving Ksklmo rarely wants a.i unwilling wife—tho girl learns to endure patiently her fate. Another way of wooing Is to visit the "young people's house"of a vil lage and there select a wife. Kach village has such a house for unmur rled persons. The youth selects a wife, and If they like each other and their respective parents have no ob jections, A brief trial marriage Is fol lowed by the ceremony of taking home th" bride In less violent fashion than by the hulr of her head. Ksklmo couples are generally kind and affectionate toward each other, and the wife is usually well treated ac cording to her code.

Legislation can do much to prevent the causes of unnecessary orphanage by requiring employers to provide safeguards for life and health. At the same time a certain amount of whole some manual work is necessary and should bo a part of the system of ed ucation from the kindergarten through every school grade. Decent housing and sanitary condi tions should be mandatory under the supervision of boards of health. No community can afford to keep plague spots in its midst. Playgrounds for children should be mandatory and in sufficient number in every neighbor hood to keep the children off the streets. No children should be sub jected to the criminal influences that come from association with criminals In courts, prisons and police stations. Juvenile courts and a well organized probation system should be a part of the system for child care in every community. No child should be in an almshouse, no child should be per manently placed in a family or insti tution without the authority of the court, and with a record that will make it always possible to trace them. Probation officers should be skilled in honiemaking, able to advise mothers in all that goes to make a good mother and a good housekeeper; able to aid in problems of child care and to guide difHcult children into safe, wholesome ways of life. Mothers organized in every nation to study the physical, mental and moral growth of childhood, to study community conditions affecting chil dren with the purpose of making them wholesome and helpful, is the funda mental step that will elevate the standards of marriagp, parenthood and home life, and raise the physical and moral tone of the race. This Is the laudable work that is being underta ken by the national Congress of Mothers, and great good has already been done along these lines. The an nual meeting of the congress will be held in Denver, June 10-15, when prob lems of child care will be discussed by loading experts.

When the British square at the bat tie of Abu Klea, in the Nubian des ert, was penetrated by the dervishes, one of them attempted to spear a gun ner who was in the act of ramming home a charge. The Hriton brained the Sudanese, but the rammer head split on the man's hard skull. Next day the gunner was sent for. Mistaking the reason, and knowing from experi ence that soldiers are charged for government property which they break, he led off with: "Please, sir, I'm very sorry I broke the rammer, but I never thought the fellow's head (•ould bo so hard. I'll pay for the rammer so as to hear no more of the case." "Yaller." Some 6oaps are so yellow that no word describes them so well as the boruely old expression "yaller."

STOOD WHERE SHE WAS PUT Wife Obeyed Orders to the Letter, but Unfortunately Workmen Moved Post Hole. In a western state workmen began to dig a post hole for an electric light In front of a Dutchman's dwelling, when the roaster forbade them to con tinue. After some discussion the Dutchman bade his wife stand on a large, flat slate with which he cov ered the hole. "Now, Gretchen," he said, "dat ish vhere you shtands till I comes back mit ein enjunction." The solid frau stood there like a statue, her hands on her hips. When the hu3band disappeared, the leader of the workmen ordered the slate, with the frau on it, to be removed. With perfect politeness the lady was set on one side as if she had been a fat tea pot on a salver. The Dutch wife stood like Casabianca, but the hole was well in its place when the householder re turned with the injunction. He was overcome with astonishment and wrath. "Vy vas you not stood on dat hole?" he demanded of his wife. "It was on dls stone dat you vas puts me," she answered. He looked at her in helpless indignation a moment, and then cried: "I vas not mean dat you shtand on dat stone ven dat hole was carried away!"— Christian Register. Very Fishy. She was a flsherman's daughter, she wore her hair in a net, and she pre ferred love in a piscatorial way. "My love," he whispered, "you hold first 'place' in my heart! Although I 'flounder' about in expressing myself, my 'sole' wish is that you will save me from becoming a 'crabbed' old bachelor. I shall stick to you closer than a 'limpet,' from you a 'wink'H" be the road to guide me. Together we will 'skate' over life's 'rocks,' and when 1 look at your hand beside me 1 shall say to myself: 'Fortune was mine when I put 'herring' there!" And then the lady dropped her eyes In sweet confusion, and murmured: "Pass the salt." Old Men in Responsibility.
