Practical application of these facts was left to the pupils' own initi- ative, The other day I sat in a Pliiladelphie school roora and listened to a new kind of hygiene lesson. The room was filled with bright and attentive girls, from ten to fourteen years of ago. Famng them, behind an improvised dispensary table, stood a Board of Health physician and a, white -clad trained nurse. Between them, enthroned in a pillowed high chair reclined a pink-eheeked, round -eyed in- fant of about seven months. To the roomful of schoolgirls the infant was familiarly known as "Mamie Millet's baby." Little brother or sister is al- ways called one's baby, the amount of one's attention claimed by the young- ster fully warranting the use of the possessive. Small Davie Miller was in sehool for this occasion on an errand of great social importance. His advent, as the subject of a school lecture on hygiene, marked the beginning oe a new epoch In municipal control of publie health in Philadelphia. Neither yoting Davie, nor big sister Mamie beaming on him from a frout seat, nor indeed any of the listen- ing children, were •aware of the full im- port of the occasion. Filled with a sense of physical well-being, Davie, in all probability, thought of nothing at all. The older children thought that they were being instructed in the care of babies during the hot months of the approaching summer. As far as immed- iate results were expected, this Was truly the object of the lecture. PUBLIC SCHOOL LESSONS IN BAB- IES. The Board of Health physician be- gan by telling the children that city took a deep interest in children, es- pecially in very young children, who could do nothing at all to guard them- selves against illness. He told them in simple but impressive words of the great number of babies. who died every year, and especially during the summer, mere- ly because they were not fed properly, nor protected from heat and from dis- ease germs. The Board of Health and the Board of Education ,explained the doctor, had united to prevent, as far as possible, this terrible death rate, and he had come to tho school to gain the co-operation of the girls. "How, many of you girls," asked the doctor, "have baby brothers or sisters at homet" At least half the children raised their hands. "How many of you know a baby across the hall, or in the same house with your family?" Every hand went into the air, "Then every girl in this room canhelp the city We the live* of the babies this summer." physician explalued that the De- partment of elealta had, sent the inuee and told that ...no girl had Liougat her hatiy brother, theaey angle, ehow the echoel ellialteu (meetly how they eluothl caw for the tables at, lioiae, itud how they might itietract their lieti;;iaburs, '.Lii c udnr4 11 that kuou 11%r% iar with babiee.

So close to delta du the children of poverty constantly hover. waen the doctor and the nurse ap- peared to show them itow simple and easy a, nutter it is to preserve the baby'e health, how unneeessary are half the ill- nesses from which children die, the mes- sage made swift appeal. The nurse un- dieseed and. &tweed the beby, demon- strating how hie bath should be given, his eyes •washed with Wrack -acid solu- tion, his mouth kept exquisitely clean, how his feeding bottle should be pre. served against germs, and, how his food should be prepared. "Never put your baby to sleep in au uncovered bed or carriage," warned the leetueer. "If there is only one cool room in your home, choose that for the bebyas room. Have a screen in every window, and even if you are sure that not a sin- gle fly is left in the room, cover the bed with a piece of netting. Flies are very bad little insects. They crowl over the worst kind of dirt and, gerloge, and their feet collect millions of disease germs. If you let them so much as touch your baby's face or hands, you are running the terrible risk of losing him forever," Then, and this was the moat impres- sive past of it, the children were given a great responsibility. They were pledged to watch their babies and their neigh- bors' babies for symptoms of illness dur- ing the summer. If the baby fell ill, and there was no doctor sunamoned, the cbildren were to go to the nearest drug store and coil .up City Hall. The name and address of the sick child telephoned into City Hall, at any hour, would. bring a doctor and a nurse, the children Were assured. In more than one hundred classrooms in congeeted quarters of Philadelphia, tbis lecture and demonstration was given, and over two thousand girls took home with them a message which will probably reach in time many thousands more. Do not misunderetand. The Phila. delphin, Board of Health did not send its physicians into the schools expecting, In one lesson, to make trained. nurses and baby experts out of grommet* school girls. The object was deeper than that. It was part of a great, comprehensive movement recently set on foot in Phila- delphia to educate a cityful of people in clean, national living, to create an en- vironment in which children may have au even °berme to thrive. They need educating in Philadelphia, as elsewhere. Out of hundreds of essays written after hearing the lecture, 1 se- lect one, subraitted by a child of eleven. She writes: I never understood why my little bro- ther Mikey turned over one day, after he was several months with us, and gave a little grunt and. died. Now I believe it was because my grandmother used to feed him the same things as she ate. Sometimes she woul& squeeze orange juice into his moutn, anti otber times she'd give him a bit of eabbage to strengthen him. I think some cremes got into these and made Mikey twist up in knots and die. * jEWELV 4-GAT.,ORE. (Philadelphia Record.) Mrs. Hoyle—Covered with jewelry, isn't she?

PLAYING HOOKEY. Bobby and Tamie didn't want to go to school. It was so nice and sunny outdoors—"Just the day for fish to bite, too," pouted jaraie. "Let's play hookey and go to the creek," suggested Bobby. They agreed that it was a good idea and eff they trudged. Bobby had a hook and line in his pocket and it was easy enough to cut a rod from one of the saplings by thecreek. It was jolly to go swimming and then sit on the bank to fish. They caught two nice trout, but what would they do with them? They couldn't take them home, 'cause then the -folks would know they hadn't been to school. They couldn't eat them raw and there wasn't a match to be found in their pookets, At last they decided to eive them to old Mrs. Hollis on their way home. She lived alone and didn't home anybody to catch fish for her. They started through the field back of Mrs. Hollis' house, Jamie carrying his shoes and stockings because be wanted to go barefoot. But what was that terrible- roar? They looked back and there stood a fierce-Iooking cow. How they yelled and ran. Bobby got safely over the fence, still hold- ing the fish. But poor Jamie couldn't run as fast, as the stubbles hurt his feet, Behind him came the cow. He fell down at last, expeoting every minute the cow would toss him on its horns. But the cow only nosed hint over and continued to the fence where Mrs. Hollis now stood. "Why, boys," said she, "Bossie isn't ,eross, she just thought you were -carry- ing something for her to eat." When Bobby gave her the fish the wise old lady' smiled as she thanked him, adding: 'Tin afraid you played truant to -day. Maybe it was just for punishateot that Bossie seared you so."

Thirty thousand miners have been placed on reduced, time in Lancatehire on account of depression in the coal trade. The wages of steel workers at Cousett, 'Durham, lia,ve been raised. 2 1-2 per eent., being the first increase in -three years. It is announced that a settlement has been come to regarding the dispute at Ansley colliery, 'Warwickshire, satisfac- tory to the men. The Home Office has under considera- tion the appointment of two labor ad- viiiers, one to deal with matters affect- ing factories, and. the other with mines. The curtain making industry in Not- tingham is enjoying a remaricable spell a activity, thanks to some very heavy orders which have ..come to hand from Cailada Oakwood cotton mill, Romiley, which has been closed for over a year, 'will shortly be transformed into a margar- ine manufactory, and will find employ- ment for a large number of persons. The Asnalgameted Society of Engin- eers' monthly report shows an increase of membership, which now reaches 108e 323, and a decrease in unemployea mem- berg. who now number 4.6 per cent. The bishop Of London has promised to attend and take part in the bicentenary of the church in Canada.. He will leave England on August 12, and spend about four weeks in the Dominion. Three thousand delegates attended the jubilee celebration in .Manchester on Saturday of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners. Sortie of the delegates were from the United States, Canada, South Africa and Australia. At a meeting of the Northumberland Coal Trade Conciliation Board, the wages of underground workmen and ba,nksmen were raised 2 1-2 per cent., bringing them 33 3-4 per cent. above the 1879 basis.

X.11.01.111110,00111.1.1.1, After years of study on the inner workings, habits and traits of air- ships the supreme moment of Gussie Gohigh's li'e had arrived. He was to see the First.

On my way to town and my work that morning my thought still busy with the obligation of parents to chil- dren, I began on my morning paper, which is just as much a habit and just as necessary as my breakfast; and I was reading along half-minedly when Suddenly, without warning, there was a lump in my throat, and I could not see the words, says Errain J. Ridgway in The Delineator. It' seems that I had been reading about Mark Twain'e .funeral— just the usual news story, written apparently without any 'thought of pathos on the writer's part, telling bow they had laid him beside his trife, who had gone before hint so many years, and his children, and suppose I was thinking of my folks—we are all so personal, aren't we? The writer man was telling . about dated and things, and I had gotten to the line, "with this inscription on the marker"; --an insctiption which Mark himself had probably written for his be- loved. when she went away, and I could not goo the last three words: Warm Bummer -sun, shine kindly here. Warm sonthern wind, blow softly here: Green sod alove, lie light, lie light. Good -night, dear heart, Good -night. ' Good -night, , All Of us who have stood at the grave -side have felt tho voiceless prayer to sun, and wind, and sod to deal ten- derly with our beloved. And later, in the broken home, so full of cherished memories, whispers everywhere of the dear one's presence, yet so silent. In the long night when the rain fell, and the winds blew, and our hearts cried out their unheeded protest.

That is a scriptural ex. ample of a very familiar experience. It illustrates a most commonpla,ce fanm. of grief It is an example of needless re- grets. "If Thou hadst been here my brother had not died," If we had ar- ranged things a little differently, how different might have been the issues; If we had taken another turning, what a contrast in our destiny! If only we had done so-and-so, Lazarus might have been with us still! My readers will re- cognize the familiarity of the utterance. It is the expression of a common hu- man infirmity. Its sound travels through the years like the haunting sigh, of a low moan. "If only • * only * * *1" And the pathetic err is with us to -day. It is usually bern on the morning after a crisis, and. it some- times continues until the plaintive soul itself goes home to rest. It is a sorrow that consumes like a gangrene. It drains away the vital strength. If by some gracious ministry it could be ended, and the moan changed into trustful quiet- ude, an enormous load would be lifted from the heart of the race. Men and women are being crushed under needless regrets. And here is one of them: "Lord. if Thou 'utast been here my brother had not died!" It was a regret that shut out the kindly light of the stars which God has ordained should shine and cheer us in our nights. I wish, therefore, to look at the incident with the utmost simplicity, in the prayerful hope that similar burdens may be lift- ed from the hearts of some. who may read these words. It was a beautiful friendship which ;united the Lord with the family at Bethany. Their home was very evident- ly one of His favorite resorts. He turn- ed to it for its friendly peace. Perhaps He found in this little circle a love that was not tainted with interested ambi- tion. Perhaps Ile found a friendship that sought no gift and coveted no place. Perhaps He found a fall-orbed sympathy, unbroken by suspicion or reserve. Per- haps He found a confidence which was independent of the multitude, and which remained. quietly steadfast whether He moved in public favor or in public con- tempt. At any rate, Jesus was at home "in the house of Martha and Mary," and here all unnecessary reticence was changed into free and. sunny commun- ion. He loved to turn from the heated, feverish atmosphere of fickle croWds to the restful constancy of these devoted friends. When the eyes of His enemies had been following Him with malicious purpose' it was spiritually recreating to lookinto the eyes that were just quiet "homes of silent prayer:, After the contentions of the. twelve, and their constant disputes as to who should, be greatest, it was good to be in this re- tired home where friends found love's reward in love's sacrifice, and the joy of loving in the increased capacity to love. It is therefor 4 no wonder to read, as We do so frequently, that "Jesus Went out te Bethany." • "THE GREATEST TUING IN TIM WORLD." Because God is Father and His life of love is the one trtte life, that men should be ehildren of God mane, oleo, that they must be brothers .of one another. If I am to love men, I need to believe that the life of every man is knit up indissolubly with my own, that he is like tne, and that he is in very -truth a child of God. Then 1 cannot wish to kill or hate or despise or condemn him. That men are my brothers means, then; in the first plaee, that our lives are indissolubly knit up together. Ear, to meution no other eonsideration, for yonr own life, aecording to Christ's fan. damental prineiple, you need moat 01 all to love. And to refuse to love, to re- fuse to peer out your lifo ioto the life of alien, is to doom yourself to the dread- ful louelinees and fruitieesnese •of the ;Anal! life.
