Mrs. George Gould Tells
How to Rear Children.
MBS. (JOllLD AND LADV DE0IES.
Opinions In regard to motherhood
ihavu been flying fast and furious. We
lliave liearil from im emluent ex-president
of the United States and an
tcralneul ex-presidcnl of Harvard, as
well as fr.ini many it's exalted per
sonages. Probably no family Is more
widely known than the Goulds, and
when Mrs. George Gould, who has
(successfully reared seven children of
iner own, consents to speak of her sys
teni and gives her opinions of n moth
er's duty they are worthy of serious con
sideration a great deal more serious
consideration than the opinion of any
mere man, since she is not only a
woman of exceptional intelligence, but
Is enabled to speak from practical ex
perience. Mrs. Gould's family consists
of Kiugdou, Jay, Marjorie, now Mrs.
Anthony J. Drexel, Jr.; Vivien, now
Lady Decles; George J., Jr., Edith
nnd Gloria. Thu eldest, Kingdon, is
twenty-three years of nge, and the
baby of the family is Gloria, who was
born four years ago.
Briefly put, Mrs. Gould said:
Motherhood is the most beautiful
thing in a woman's life.
A woman secures greater pleasure
from her children than from anything
else.
Large families are good when par
ents are able to caro for them, other
wise a pity.
She believes that children should be
brought up in the country whenever
ipossiblc, and they should have fresh
air In copious quantities at all times,
Children should not be sent to school
tuntll they have grown to an age of un
derstanding. The early training of children by
itutors Is when possible the very best.
'When tutors are not to bo had mother
and father should direct tho training
of children for tho first ten or twelve
years, and she believes a careful train
lug in modern languages the very best
basis of an education.
When the weather permits all study
is done by her children out of doors.
Outdoor exercise is as necessary as
study.
She never permits any of her chil
drcn when young to study for more
than one hour at a time.
Exercise should be play.
, All her children except the youngest
are skilled In almost every out of dooi
game. AH but baby swim nnd ride
horseback every day in the summer.
All her children are started In the
Btudy of music, but are not forced to
continue If they show they have no
real liking for It,
Her boys are allowed to follow their
own inclinations so far as training
themselves for business llfo is con
cerned.
The same freedom of choice was
given to the girls when they grew up.
A mother should have children neai
ber as much as possible.
A mother should supervise the dress
ing of her children. In tho house none
of her children Is ever dressed too
warmly. When they go out they al
ways change into warmer clothing.
A mother should have a system in
the rearing of her children, and she
should rigidly adhero to It.
A home should bo primarily for the
children. It should be the dearest
place In the memory in after years.
She thinks it good for children tc
Tiave sisters nnd brothers of their own
ago that they may study and develop
together.
A child's diet should bo simple.
Iter one great rule above all others
Is to use common senso at nil times.
How to Wear Earrings.
Earrings are being worn more than
ever, but they do not necessitate the
display of tho whole ear, nor does the
fashion mean that the lobes should be
pierced. This should never be done
Boring the ears means that rings must
be placed In them, and this means that
tho car lobes will be pulled down and
elongated until the cars Ioso their sea'
shell semblance.. Boring in these days
Is unnecessary, as earrlugs aro held In
place by invisible wires nnd tiny
screws.
Many of tho new earrings are re
rivals. Tho old designs worn by the
igypsles uro being adapted to moderc
'requirements and handsomely jeweled
Diamonds and pearls are most often
ibllnued. Emeralds, sapphires, tur
Iquolses Indeed, almost every kind oi
gem plays Its part in the new ear-
i rings. Tho pendants to earrings grow
I longer. Black nnd pure white pearls
'are made up together, united by a
'chain of almost Invisible fineness
These sort of earrings should be kept

A Bleak and Barren Coast.
lileak and barren Is the west coast of
South America, where it Is always
cloudy, yet never rains, where It is
chilly even up under the equator,
where never u tree nor a blade of
grass is to be seen only the parched
and hunghy foothills of the Andes,
swept with windrows of sand, nnd be
hind them' fleeting glimpses of the
towering peaks of the main mountain
chnin. Probably nowhere else In the
world Is there a seacoast of equal ex
tent so desolate and uninviting.
Harbors there aro few or none. Co
quimbo, 200 miles north of Valpa
raiso, and Cnllao are safe and of com
mercial value. Hut, although there are
few harbors, there are many ports.
Tho Pacific ocean, true on this const,
at least, to Its name, makes It possible
for n vessel to anchor almost any
where to take and leave cargo by
means of lighters. Loading and un
loading the lighters nt the .shore are
made possible by artificial breakwaters

When You Break Cut Glass.
An accident to cut glass invariably
plunges the owner of it into clouds of
gloom, but often these clouds have sli
ver linings. Refore throwing the
pieces away examine each piece sep
arately and see if it could bo cut down
into nnythlng smaller. Shops which
deal in cut glass usually have n cutter
on the premises. A case is told of n
brldo who upon entering the dining
room arrived in time to see, but not
prevent, her maid from pulling instead
of pushing tho extension table, and as
It separated in tho middle several
pieces of valuable cut glass which had
been placed there during tho cleaning
time fell through with a crash to the
floor. It seemed a hopeless accident,
but a rose bowl was cut down from a
decanter, following tho pattern near
tho neck, which had broken off; a small
violet holder was cut down from a tall
vase, n tiny sugar bowl from a vinegar
cruet, and a small bonbon dish was
saved from a larger cut glass bowl.

Tho Fagot Gatherer.
In Europe every bit of wood is care
fully saved and used, and tho fagots
of the forest furnish the peasantry
with fuel. Tho Swiss boy is most ex-,
pert of nil the fagot gatherers, for he
has to balance on his head and phoul
dors his awkward bundle of fagots
whllo he leaps down tho rough moun
tain side.
Dispositions.
I wonder If It's pen or Ink
That's cross.
Tliey'ro very nice with erownup folks,
Of course.
But soon as I begin to try
To write with them they kick and fly
And stub and splash with all their might
And make my writing Just a sight
I don't know It the pen's to blame
Or not.
It's certainly the Ink that makes
The blot.
But anyhow I'd rather write
With Mr. Pencil, gay and bright.
He's kind and never twists and twirl.
I think ho's fond of little girls.

A Clever Crow.
As to a crow's ability to talk, said a
naturalist, some will nnd others will
never learn. The first of the four
birds I have had recently was n won
derful talker. Unlike the parrot, his
conversation seemed intelligent rather
than simply imitative. For instance,
if I said to him, "Hello, Jack?" he
would answer, "Hello!" nnd not put
on the "Jack," as so many parrots do
when one says, "Hello, Polly!"
Rut he could imitate me also. He
found that when any one called and
said, "Hollo, Wood!" my reply was a
low "Hello!" He tried in every way
to imitate that low tone of mine and
finally succeeded. Ho would go over
to his water trough and with his head
In the air would cry, "nello, Wood!"
Then down would go his head In the
trough, and out would com6 the "Hel
lo!" Just like mine. Washington Star.
Temperature of Sea Water.
The temperature of ocean water va
ries nt the surface from 28 degrees P.
at tho poles to over 80 degrees P. in
the tropics. The cold water toward
tho poles has an annual variation of
less than 10 degrees F. at any one spot,
nnd tho warm water of tho tropics
also has an annual variation of less
thau 10 degrees P. in a band that near
ly encircles the earth. This is the re
gion of the coral reefs and atolls. Re
tween these regions of small annual
variation there are two bands sur
rounding the earth where tho annual
variation is greater and may exceed in
certain regions 40 degrees P. at any
one spot. Marine Journal.
The Woman In tho Cass.
A mother-in-law hnd stayed so of
ten with her daughter ns to cause a
quarrel with the husband.
One day she found her daughter
weeping in the drawing room.
"What's the matter? Gracious me,
don't say that Georgo has left youl"
she exclaimed.
"He has," replied the young wife
tearfully.
"Then there's a woman In the case?"
mater asked, her eyes lighting up ex
pectantly. "Yes."
"Who is it?"
"you!"
A Model Horse,
ni Hillings went to a horse salo one
day and bought a horse for $18. When
be got the horse homo ho offered it a
bucket of water, but it wouldn't drink.
After that be gave it a feed of corn,
but It wouldn't touch that either. "Hy
gosh," he said, "you're the very horse
for me if you'll only workl"

An Architectural Curiosity.
There are mnny churches throughout
England which are without tower or
spire, btit there are few churches
which can boast of having a tower
and spire side by side. One of these
Is the parish church of Ormsklrk, in
Lancashire. Tho tower is built over
the. porch at the west end, and tho
spire Is placed as closely as possible
to it. Tho origin of this architectural
freak has not been ascertained, but
there Is a tradition to the effect that
when Orme, the Saxon pirate from
whom the town derives its name, de
cided to construct a kirk, or church,
as an expiatory offering for his evil
deeds his two daughters quarreled over
tho design for the structure. One de
termined to have n tower; the other
was equally resolved to have n steeple.
As neither of them would give way
tho pirate chief acceded to both their
wishes, and the curious may see the
tower and spire still keeping watch
sldo by side on the surrounding coun
try. She Played the Green.
The attache of a European embassy
was very much nttracted by a western
girl of groat beauty and still greater
wealth at a summer resort, nnd in or
der to interest her deeply ho fell into
tho habit of discoursing at length on
his family tree nnd telling her that
ancestry was of great value to a man.
The girl from tho west had been
brought up in a section of tho country
whore every mnn was accepted for
what he Was and not because of what
his ancestors hnd been or done. She
began to be bored by the nttacho's
lectures on pedigree.
"Blue blood," lie remnrked one day,
"Is something not everybody can boast
of."
"Oh, yes," she agreed indifferently,
"but what's the use of blue blood if
you haven't got tho long green?"
