tion , was issued from this office
owing to the Many inquiries received
and the evident interest awakened,
not only in our country but in Many
parts of the United States. The
Curfew movement has from the first
received the cordial endorsatlon of
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union, and there is a spacial depart-
ment to advocate its, more general
adoption. At the last convention
held in Pembroke, Oct. 27, 1896,
Mrs, S. G. McKee report>d as fol-
lows:
"In the matter ot congratulation
that from ocean to ocean the subject
of Curfew Bell is receiving the atten-
tion of good men'and earnest women
The need of looking after the child-
ren is so apparent, and the conse'
quenees of neglect are so disasterouP4.

them in danger, are all hailed with*:
gladness. And so this matter of
ringing a bell to call them of the
streets and bid them seek their
homes, is finding more favor every
day. From Quebec in the east to
Edmonton in the North West, with
many a call in between, your Super-
intendent has replied to queries and
given inforration as far as possibly
on this question.
The Curfew has been taken up
with a good deal of enthusiasm in
the western and north western states
during the past year and if any
failure is experienced it may safely
be ascribed to carelessness and in-
difference in the enforcement of its
provisions.
AIM OF THE CURFEW.
"We read II_ the papers that Tor-
onto wants the Curfew bell, whose
tolling at an early evening hour
shall be the signal for all young
persons under a given, age to leave .
the streets'and go home for the night
Some people smile at such an idea
and regard it as anticipated and
puritanical,.:but any city that adopts
aid faithfully executes such a law
will reap a golden harvest, l ich in
the health and morality of the coming
generation, rich in the decrease of
,rime and rich in resources of muni-
cipal and national strength. Few
glen become drunkards who abstain
until twenty-five. Few men become
sensualists who retain their purity
until twenty-five, Few men become
criminals after that age. If we
could only . keep the rising gener-
ation in the path of virtue, honesty
morality, chastity, until they pass
through their teens, we would bank-
rupt every saloon, house of shame
and gambling hell in the land. These
traps of the devil all look to the
children of,to-day to take the place
of the victims now in their grasp.
And if the social purity movement is .
to arrest the threatened destruction
of the nation it must reach out its
arms to save the young."—Rev. J.

There doesn't seem tobe
very much the matter with
your child. He doesn't ac-
tually lose weight, but there
is no gain. He belongs to
that large class of children
that don't seem to prosper.
You look at him a little
more thoughtfully than you
do at the rest and say "He is
not doing well." Failure
to gain in weight in a child
is a danger signal. Scott's

SCOTT & IIOWNC laedCYilie, Ott(.
. But in spite of this richness in syn-
onyms, which is in itself a marked sign
of degeneracy, for the tendency of a
language is to eliminate its synonyms,
giving to eaeb a different shade of
arguing, the argot is a poor language.
It has riot a single expression for ab-
stract emotion. To attempt to render a
philosophic thought, a moral emotion, a
synthetic or austhetio idea into the dia-
lect of the thief would be like attempt-
ingto translate "electricity" or "steam
engine" into Latin. It is impossible be-
cause the words do not exist. They are
riot needed. Tho criminal has no more
conception of abstract emotion than a
blind man has of color.
A fact which does not seem to ally
the argot to a primitive language is its
ability to form additional words from
its own resources, a power of self de-
velopment which we find in the old
Anglo-Saxon, and especially in. the Ger-
man of today. This trait is the more
striking as it seems in direct contradic-
tied to the impotence of the English
language in this respect. The English
has little formative power. It relies on
the (geek and Latin languages for the
extension of its vocabulary. ---A. T. B.
