THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JUIjY 117, 1010. Points For Mothers When one talks of n nagging wife It Is goucrally to refer In pitying terms to tbo man whom sho has married. Much more to bo pitied, however, nro tho children of tho marriage. A man con enduro much and And a remedy In retaliation. But sonsltlvo children shrink from the continual fault end ing and suffer in silence What makes matters worse for the little ones Is that there are many wo men who aro regarded by their hus bands as model wires, but who on ac count of their thoughtlessness toward their children aro really not at all good mothers. In fairness to many mothers It must bo said that they unwittingly fall into the habit of nagging their children. Tho tiresome ways of the latter seem moro than they can bear at times, and tho result Is that they are apt to forgot thomselrcs. "Don't do this" and "Don't do that." "Why can't you let things alone?" "I never saw such a child." "You aro a perfect worry, but what can one expect from such a child? You are exactly like your father," etc.. ad nau seam, through all tho nerve racking catalogue of nag. And then these mothers honestly wonder why their children aro reduc ed to a state of sulky Irritability. Such mothers never seem to take into con sideration tho fact that children are tho most sensitive beings in tho world and that their wholo experience is made up of small Joys and small sor rows that can make life a misery to them. The Children' Playmates. No one, of course, thinks that a child's manners should be neglected, but there nro ways of turning out well mannered children who are not at the same time hopeless snobs. The way to do this Is to choose their playmates for their intrinsic worth as well as their culture. Homo after all Is the place where children get their polish, and by an afternoon's association with other children they will neither acquire nor lose It Of course a child's lntercourso with his fellows of whatever grade should bo closely supervised by a wise parent or unfortunate results may follow. Even If Charlie's father Is a coachman it Is much better for a mother to say after his departure, "I notice that Charlie was the only ono who was willing to give up his place at the microscope; I hope the next time he comes you can all do as well," than to remark. "I am sorry to seo that Char lie doesn't wipe his feet on the mat before he comes in." Moreover, if tho next time John Is caught omitting tho service at the door mat he remonstrates, "Charlie didn't, do It," the mother needn't feel that tho coachmau's son has led her children astray. It Is a slmplo matter to say: "That has nothing to do with it; Charlie is not my little boy, but you are, and I expect you to obey me. Ills mother probably has him clean bis feet In another way, and I haven't a doubt be obeys her perfectly." Word Values. If the parent in general realized that as a child first learns to connect a cer tain Idea with a certain word so be goes through Ufo hampered or helped by that word, more care would be used when explanations of these must be given. Wo are all of us walking diction aries, teaching the young idea how to Ehoot, and when in after life he shoots wrong wo aro apt to blame every one but ourselves, forgetting that long, long ago, when the hopeful in question was considered moro as a wonderful toy than a thinking machine, wo bad given some hurried, forced definition that was gospel to tho loyal little ears that took It In. Caro in deflnlug a new word to a child often opens up a wholo new field of observation, and it should bo done as conscientiously as possible. A straight "I don't know" is preferable to a 'careless or slipshod definition. Look It up In a dictionary or encyclo pedia and tako blm with you when you do. Ho will gain confidence In you each time and will soon learn to save you tho trouble. In the Nursery. If tho nursery window Is not pro tected by outsldo bars hammer a large screw or nail into tho groove of the lower sash so that the window cannot be raised moro than six Inches. If the top sash Is drawn down this Is quite enough for ventilation, and, no matter how Ingenious or venturesome the little ones may be, they cannot wrlgglo throughout) small lower open Ing. Provido each little one la the nurs ery with Its own towel, sponge, hair brush and toothbrush and teach the children that It Is not right to use each other's things. Hairbrushes should bo kept perfectly clean and frequently washed In soda water. NEW TALES THAT AR TOLD Mayo Kept His Word. Tho Integrity of actors was the sub ject of n discussion one night at n club which players frequent when James O'Neill told this story of tho lato Frank Mayo, says tho Now York World. It seemed that tho actor had needed $100 in tho morning nnd had borrowed It from a friend, promising to pay It back before he (Mayo) went to bed that night. "Mayo and I were having a lato sup per nfter tho performance, talking of the day's work." Bald Mr. O'Neill, "when he suddenly clapped his hand in his pocket and Jumped to his feet. 'By Jove, I've got to pay a man a hun dred before I go to bed,' ho said. "'Where docs your friend live?' 1 asked as wc boarded a Broadway car, and you can imagine my astonishment when Mayo answered, 'I don't know.' " 'You don't know!' I echoed. ''No. Somewhere In Thirty-eighth street, though, between Broadway and Seventh avenue.' "By that time we had reached tho corner and alighted from the car, when, what the dickeks do too want of ME?" as I was going to put another question, Mayo suddenly stepped out into tho middle of the street and with a voice that filled the midnight echoes began to shout: 'Henry Ford! Henry Ford!" "All along the street windows were thrown up and heads were stuck out to gaze at two lone men standing in tho street, one calling, 'Henry Ford. come down and get your money.' 'A policeman came by and recog nized Mayo, who explained to him that he had $100 that had to be paid that night and continued to call. "We walked nearly tho entire block. when a window on the top floor of n house wns thrown open and a man's voice exclaimed, 'What the dickens do you want of me?' " 'Thank heavens it's you, Ford, call ed back Mayo. 'Here's your $100. Come down and get It.' " 'Yes,' echoed tho walls all about, Henry Ford, for goodness' sake do come down and get your money.' " CZAR NICHOLAS AND THE GAMIN. Ruler of the Russias Interviewed by a True Parisian, On one of tils visits to Paris Nicholas II. was left alone ft a moment in his carriage. The czur was delighted at the feeling of freedom and ease. Look ing out of tho window with all tho rest of a schoolboy playing truant, he saw before him ono of those pic turesque street urabs who seem to sprout between the paving stones of Paris. This particular specimen, seat ed against the railings, with his noso in tho nlr, was whistling tho refrain of tho Russian national hymn. Suddenly their eyes met. Tho street boy sprang to his feet. He had never seen tho em peror, but ho had seen his photograph, and the likeness wus striking. "Suppose it Is Nicholas?" he said to himself, greatly puzzled. He resolved to make sure without do lay. Walking up to within a yard of the carriage and bobbing his bead, be houtod In a hoarso voice to tho un known foreigner: "How's tho empress?" Picture his stupefaction for, in fact, be thought that It was only a good Joke when tho stranger replied, with a smile: Thank you, the empress Is very well and Is delighted with her Jour ney." The boy lost bis tongue. He stared at tho speaker in dismay and then, raising bis cap, etalked away slowly, vpry slowly, to mark his dignity. Nicholas II. afterward often amused himself by scandalizing tho formal sot around him with the story of this prt vato Interview with a true Parisian. McGlure's Magazine.

The sand must be brought straight from the fwasboro after InTvIng been freed from nil Impurities In the shape of shells, seaweed, etc. It must then be thoroughly heated and poured In a great pile on to n large, thick blanket placed on the floor. In the hot sand madam moves to nnd fro nnd Is vigorously rubbed with hnndfuls of sand by a skilled mas seuse, tho treatment proceeding until a rosy glow Is produced. Rolling In tbo sand Is particularly encournged. ns this exercise Is said to reduce the hips. After this tiring process the sand bather lies in the sand covered with a warm blanket nnd rests while her attendnnt prepares tho second part of the bath. This at first Is rather painful, for the bather stands wbllo the sand Is blown from a sprayer against the body. Then a soft brush Is used to remove tho sand, a soothing cream la well massaged Into the skin, and the bather Is left to sleep off the fatigue of her bath. Should the satin-like skin of her face suffer from the unwonted friction she dons a mask made of chamois leather at night, first thoroughly cleansing the skin and covering it with a specially prepared cream. Great attention Is paid to diet, and several hours a day must be devoted to walking, which Is most healthful. Paris Letter In Phil adelphia Record. SOME GEOGRAPHY. An English View of Your Uncle Sam's "Paralyzing Solitudes." People who are acquainted with the "paralyzing solitudes" of Iowa nnd Nebraska, says tho Chicago News, may bo Interested In tho St. James' Budget's description of Weston's last long walk. The Budget Is published In London. It says: "Imagine the i awful, soul depressing solitudes ; through which ho has passed. In vast i tract3 of Nevada no bird sings, no i plant grows. For hundreds of miles thero Is not a tree or a house. The walker's only companions aro skele- j tons of animals devoured by Jackals ! and coyotes: 'simple Immensity of red-, dish sand,' as Senor Scarfogllo dcscrlb-1 ed It. The crossing of tho Rockies , provides more variety, but scarcely i moro exhilarating conditions for the pedestrian. Tho road too often is a mere mule path, rough backed and sub ject to cataracts of stones. "From the Rockies Weston would descend into Nebraska and its colossal sea of grass, hypnotizing In Its Im mensity. By and by tho terrific wastes aro sparsely sprinkled with windmills and herds of horses as Iowa Is enter ed, but still there are endless, hopeless ly flat, barren fields, most melancholy most miserable. "Such aro the concomitants of a walk through the western states of Ameri ca. Through these paralyzing soli tudes Weston kept up forty-five miles a day." Public Opinion In China. At the present moment there Is hard ly a newspaper worthy of tho name In China which Is not owned or subsi dized by tho mandarins, and the result, ns shown In their columns.

This change, slow ly and secretly brought about by meth ods which testify to a considerable amount of intelligent organization In the olliclal class, would not have been so readily possible were It not for the arbitrary postal and registration regu lations introduced under tho nuthorlty of tho central government. Loudon Times. Causes of Appendicitis. An unusual number of deaths of prominent persons in England from appendicitis recently has sot tho Lou don papers to discussing tho causes of tbo disease. Ono surgeon, quoted by tbo Chronicle, says "It has boon said that appendicitis is often brought on by the use of toothbrushes, hairs from tho brush lodging lu the system. In the samo way tho pits of fruit have been spoken of as a cause of the disease. All I can say Is that It Is very raro to find any of these things In the appendix, and the most Important fac tor In bringing on appendicitis Is un doubtedly Indigestion and certain other familiar disorders." Big Libraries. In tho matter of numbers the Dlbllo tboquo Katlonalo of Paris Is generally accounted tbo first library In the world, with over 3,000,000 volumes. The British museum stands second with 2,000,000, and the Imperial libra ry of St. Petersburg has about 1,500, 000, which also aro tho figures to bo assigned to tbo library of congress at Washington. Tho Now York Public library, according to somo authorities, Is In tho samo class as tho big library at tho national capital, and thero are several libraries in tho United States that display on their shelves more than 600,000 volumes.
