I TIH3 CITIZK.V, WKDXIJSDAY, .U'LY 13, 1010. Points For Mothers Whnt becomes of precocious children when they grow up? Nobody knows. It Is a good thing that average gctu hold of them or wo would bo a land overflowing with geniuses. There would be so many of them that com mon people would not bo missed from tho directory, says an cschnngo. As a matter of fact, tho men and women who nro doing things when they aro flfty years old nro not the ones who were pointed out on chil dren's day. Very often precocity Is n flower that blooms early and withers early. Even tho big men and women who stand out In history were coin monplaco children, whllo their preco cious companions sleep In obscure graves. Tho most precocious thing George Washington did was to lay low tho historic cherry tree, and this Is more than duplicated each day by boys who never rlso to dizzier pinnacles than school directors. Too often the boy who stood nt the head of the spelling class comes when he Is forty years old to tho boy who stood nest to tho end for a Job. Con gress has within Its halls today men who didn't learn to read until twelve years of age. Lifo Is not a dash and sprint, with tho prlzo to tho child who gets away from tho starting line first, but Is a day in day out Marathon, with the laurel to tho one who keeps plug ging along. More llfo meets nro won by plugging than by sprinting. So let tho mother of tho ordinary child up and clear her looks. Do not envy the precocious child of your neighbor. Rest secure in tho knowl edge that tho precocious child across tho street may bo only a morning glory to dazzle for an hour, while your own child, with Its glories yet unre vealed, may be a lily of tho valley to gladden hearts for many days. Overattentlon to Children. Few mothers realize tho risk of over caution and overattentlon to their chil dren nfter they are old enough to play nnd romp about. A child Is happier with few and simple playthings than with a multitude of complicated toys. There is no such good fun or good training as making oneself useful in doing little tilings like work, and it Is cruelty to deprive tho child of this pleasure and stimulus. Let the bralu and body be trained through band, foot and eye. Give the boy a carpenter's bench; encourage tho girls to do house work. Where possible let both boy and girl have a little garden patch, if only a few feet square, and tho care of a few plants. A woman In her home, a man in his garden this seems to bo a fundamental typo from which wo cannot entirely depart without risk to body and mind. Cheerfulness, sin cerity, industry, perseverance and un selfishness may be acquired by prac tice and constant repetition as much as the art of correct speaking or of playing the piano and are far more necessary to health. In the Nursery. notter than chairs aro low, broad seats built in all around the wall of the room. The seat should bo eight or nine inches high and from one to two feet broad and may bo put up by a carpenter at slight expense. Tho children may slide all along these and draw their toys up beside them, and there will bo less danger of bumped noses and bruised elbows from tipping over of the chairs. LltUo pillows with durable covers may bo strewn about for small, sleepy heads or to make tho scat less hard. Such a scat Is best made of hard wood If tho floor is hard wood; If not it should bo mado very smooth and varnished, so that there may be no danger of splinters. The Value of Laughter. A famous doctor once said; "Encour ngo your child to bo merry and to laugh nloud. A good, hearty laugh expands tho chest and makes tho blood bound merrily along. Commend mo to a good laugh not to a little, sniggling laugh, but to one that will sound right through tho house. It will not only do your child good, but will bo a benefit to nil who hear and bo nn Important means of driving tho blues away from a dwelling. Merriment is very catch ing and spreads in a rcmarkablo man ner, few being ablo to resist tho con tagion. A hearty laugh is delightful harmony indeed, it is tho best of all music." Here' Good Advice. Never give medlclno to a baby with out a doctor's orders. Do not use devices for keeping ba by's food warm. Keep tho food on lco until feeding time, then warm It and givo immedi ately. If any food Is left In tho bottle throw It away. When the Baby Sleep. Do not permit a baby to sleep with Its head under tho bedclothes. Trained nurses who are supposed to know bet ter nro often responsible for this habit They keep the head of an Infant so carefully wrapped for foar of draft that the child becomes accustomed to muffling. BELIEF IN WITCHCRAFT. It Still Survives In Some Parts of India. Belief In witchcraft Is still so fast rooted In parts of India that unfortu nate persons suspected of tho black art nro not uncommonly done to death. In Bengal last year soveral cases of tho kind came before tho courts. In the Sonthal Pnrganahs a woman was murdered by her mother and brother, who believed her to ho a witch. In Pnlamau n man was killed, as the villagers held that ho was a wiz ard. In another caso two women were murdered on the baro suspicion that they had caused the death of three children by cholera. Human sacrifice also is still practiced among tho un civilized tribes of Bengal. In Angul some Khonds sacrificed a girl as a propitiatory offering against cholera, and In Palamau a boy was en ticed Into the jungle and killed ns a sacrifice. There can be little doubt that nny relaxation of vigilance would result In a serious Increase of witch killing nnd human sacrifices. Why Iron Rusts. British Investigators estimate that the rails of a single railway system In England lose eighteen tons In weight every day, and that tho larger part of this loss Is due to tho effects of rust. Tho problem of rust Is of great econo mical Importance, not only because of such losses ns that Just mentioned, but also because of the great expense Involved In repainting Iron and steel structures In order to preserve them. Thus $10,000 a year is spent in paint ing the great Scotch bridge over tho Forth. Recent experiments Indicate that pure Iron In the presence of pure oxygen does not rust. It ap pears to bo necessary for tho produc tion of rust that some ncld, notably carbonic acid, shall bo present. When Iron Is subjected to the action of wa ter containing traces of acid, nnd In the presence of atmospheric oxygen, It always rusts. The rapid rusting of Iron In railroad stations Is ascribed to the presence of sulphuric acid de rived from tho smoko of locomotives. Swarming Bees' Scout. Swarms of bees are sometimes com pelled to take refuge In very remark able shelters. A peculiar and Instruc tive instance was observed by the writer in tho spring of 1908. Tho swarm flew over a large vineyard which contained low buildings. One of these buildings was constructed of hollow concrete blocks. The swarm flew directly toward a small hole in one of the blocks and disappeared in the Interior. No doubt the swarm had rested on a tree or shrub on tho preceding day and had sent out scouts to seek a home. Tho scout found the little hole lead ing Into tho great cavity of the con crete block, and reported their discov ery to their comrades. This case fur nishes Indisputable proof that swarm ing bees really send out scouts, as they are believed to do, for the little hole could not have been discovered In the rapid and lofty flight of the swarm. Scientific American. Photo Wakes Up and Goes to Sleep. Changeable photographs of an unpre cedented novelty, taken after a meth od perfected by the secretary of the Faculty of Science in the University of Marseilles, M. Estanave, were late ly elucidated before tho Academy of Sciences at Paris, and are now creat ing n sensation In tho scientific papers. M. Estanave, It seems, produced what is called technically n "dla-posl-tlve" on glass of a sleeping wan. By Inclining the picture ever so little and then shaking it a trifle, the eyes of tho picture apparently open like the orbs of a porcelain doll. In tho photograph, monger, the entire coun tenance becomes radiant with tho most animated expressiveness. When the photograph Is Inclined to Its first position the eyes slowly closo onco more. Current Literature. Why Dumas Flls Quit Smoking. The younger Dumas, like M. Mae terlinck, became convinced In middle llfo of the Injurious effects of nico tine, and his conversion was brought about In truly dramatic fashion," ho onco told an Interviewer, "which cot out so vividly tho evils brought on by smoking that I laid down my cigar (tho fifteenth that dny, If I remember rightly) and vowed I would never smoke again. This vow I have rigid ly kept, and am firmly convinced that tobacco saps tho brain as surely as al cohol." Fortunately, tobacco-smokers can point to a long line of distinguish ed men, from Milton to Meredith, who have lived to a great age with unim paired faculties In spite of their smok ing habits. The Food Value of Chestnuts. Tho fruit of the chestnut treo Is nearly ns valuable ns bread and more valuable than potatoes for dietetic purposes. Two pounds of chestnuts contain 118 grammes of starch and eight of fat. Tho annual production of chestnuts In Franco is over 3,000,000 quintals of 220 pounds. That means food for many workmen. But the hldo-tan-ners keop tho product from tho food market by buying It In large quanti ties for uso in their business. Pro ducers mako more profit by selling their chestnuts for tanning than by disposing of thorn for food. His Own Opinion, "So," said tho head of tho firm, "you want your salary raised?" "Yes," tho office boy timidly replied. "What makes you think your value to tills company has been increased?" "Well, do baseball season's over, and I'll bo horo a good deal more reg ular now."

Samoyede Canine Pete Are "It" This Summer. THE LATEST FAVORITE OF FASHION. The Samoyede dog Is the latest comer In canine pets for fashionable favor. This dog Is a sort of four footed Admirable Crlchtou. lie can do any thing you ask of him that Is, any thing within canlno powers nnd he can do It very well. lie comes from the northeast of Russia, and, although new as a smart pet. bo Is the oldest domesticated dog In tho world. Ho Is an Ideal dog for children In telligent, quick to learn tricks, good tempered nnd gentle. Intensely affec tionate, faithful and Invariably well behaved. In short, he Is n perfect four footed gentleman. Tho Samoyede does splendidly har nessed singly or In pairs to a child's gocart. He takes to harness natural ly. Is untiring nnd strong and. to use a horsy expression, "quite without vice." Apart from these excellent traits of character, the Samoyede dog's appear ance Is distinctly "fetching." In the puppy stage he is a fascinating little creature with n soft, fluffy white coat, for nil the world like a Teddy bear. As be grows older he passes through tho usual leggy state and nt about a year old develops into n most aristo cratic looking animal, very handsome nnd attractive, with long white fur standing straight out from the body, each hair having tho Icelike glisten peculiar to the breed. Standing nearly as tall as a collie, cars pricked, eyes expressive, tall a spreading plume not colled tightly, like a chow the striking appearance nnd elegant carriage of the Samoyede attract attention wherever he goes. A Vacation Pest. Tho most delightfully planned outing in the woods may be ruined by that vacation pest the mosquito. Some persons poison so dreadfully life Is n torment, and there is always danger of malaria from tho bites. If you are especially poisoned by mosquitoes, arrange to go where they are not. Don't go in for camping or frequent resorts that are subject to them. If you will go, take with you pre ventives in tho form of mosquito nets, lump camphor nnd cltronella. In extreme cases there aro head nets that can bo bought for n dollar. They are made of fine black bobblnet that will stand rain and wnshlng. There Is n circular cloth piece above the net over hat and n yoke shaped pleco at bottom fitted to the shoulders and tied under the arm. For night uso it Is possible to buy frames and mosquito bars to fit fold ing camp cots. The Beetle Watch. Oddities in jewelry nro constantly to bo found, and the latest fad Is the bee tle watch that Is worn on the end of a OF 1X1 TITIAN DESIGN. neck chnin or a long pleco of half Inch black molro ribbon. A slight pressure on tbo end of the wings and tho wings open nnd show tho face of tho watch. An Outing Precaution. Never go into tho woods or out of tho way places without being supplied with remedies In caso of an emergen cy. Always tako a hot water bottle and a medlclno kit, stocked with such slmplo homo remedies as you aro ac customed to uso. In addition, thcro should bo whisky, bandages, absorbent cotton, adhesive plasters, quinine, mustard and bella donna plasters and somo colic tablets. An ointment to allay stings or Itching Is also good. mm 11 S '-'': V WHY, CERTAINLY NOT. "What's the next train to Squee- duck?" "Twelve o'clock." "Isn't there one before that?"

The elevator conductor of a tall of fice building, noticing that the colored Janitor had ridden up with him sev eral times that morning, remarked: "Sam, this is tho fifth time I have tak en you up, but you have not come down with me."
