FORGETTING KOV TO PLAY.
Jrban Life Robs Children of Sponta-
'"neity, Says Mr. Chubb.
"In our urban life we have reached
he time when children have to be
ichooled in play." said Percival Chubb
n his lecture on "The Origin and
Evolution of Play" before the Federa
tion for Child Study at the Ethical
Ci'It.re School. "Education has had
4 lay unhuiy hands on play,' and we
a-e the anomaly of a curriculum In
hiil'ug xouisos in play. City chll--Hxn
are lusing the art of spontane
ous piny because tbe city affords them
10 space for play."
The spirit of play had gone out of
idult life, too, Mr. Ctmbb said, be
cause men and women had been "de
iruded by toil. We are slaves to the
;oddi'S8 of opportunity. Fathers don't
now how to pluy with their children,
ior do they give themselves time. And
he children don't have time either,
or they have to study eveniugs."
Mothers, he Bald, had forgotten the
M play tradition,), and many couldn't
.'.'en play cat's cradle with their
--'-'03. He adik-d that the perverted
.''t of play was" responsible for
tr.'jch of the hoodlumism lu city
'trr-ets. "These hoodlums should be
, !t-yiug baseball, iubteud of going to
an at a gime uow and then."

Old Custom Abolished.
The British ftrrny coirficll has de
cided to abolish the old cuetom ot
"crying down credit" Under the
king's regulations, commanding offi
cers, on arriving at a new station, are
required to make proclamation warn
ing tradespeople and others that a
loldlrr's pay oannot be stopped for a
private debt, and that those who al
low soldiers to contract' debts do so
at their own risk. The custom In the
old days often gave rise to a pio
ttirocque ceremony, the commanding
officer, accompanied by a dutachment
of his regiment and the drums, read
ing the proclamation in the market
place. The last occasion on which
the ceremony was performed was a
year or two ago. The old proclama
tion is now to be replaced by new
paper advertisements. - .

Ths New Diamond Fields.
From the methods used to locate
tbe stones tbe aew diamond fields lu
German South Africa might very we I
be called a Tom Tiddler's Ground,
-ays the Wide World Magazine. The
liamonds are very small, but ara ex-
eedlngly plentiful.
They are found In the open desert,
where nothing but sand, unrelieved
by the slightest Sign of brush or
ihrub, is to be seen for vast distances.
The men who search for the stones
needless to say, they are all natives
have ten miles to go every morning
from camp.
The searchers work on their hands
and knees, apparently regardless of
the blinding sunshine, sifting the su
face sand through their fingers. Mojt
of them are old Kimberley boys and
they are very keen on- discovering
stones. The district la hardly a para
dise for the white man, being notori
ous for lu frequent dust storat and
terrific heat. .
The Hottentots,
The Hottentots are a dwarf raw Ii
Namaland. in South Africa. . TlU'ir
skin is yellow, brown or gray, not
black. The hair fs long and wool'y;
the cheek bones are pronlnent; ecs
are dark chestnut or black, wlds
apart: the nose is very broad and B;it,
nostrils thick; the mouth is lan;
with heavy, upturning lips, chin pout
ed and receding Jaw. Their yi-lloT
akin has been an enigma to anthropo
logists, and ths discovery of similari
ties in grammar, together with the
existence of words representing ab
stractions of a high order, strengthen
ed the theory that the Bushmen Hot
tentots had separated from the Cau
casian kindred in tbe north in prehis
toric times, settling the southern por
tion of the continent, where they were
pressed upon later by the Black Ban
tu tribes. More probably they are aa
