They may not be at all cowardly children; but if you notice, you will find probably that the fear is owing to one of two causes, either they are specially imaginative children, or they have been frightened in some way which gives them an un- natural terror of the darkmess. These two. causes- should be' treated in very different ways. } -Take the case of the imaginative child, When one really thinks about it, what is more natural than that such a child should be afraid of the darkness? The unknown has its fears. for most of us, and for the imagina- tive most of all. And.to a child, how many things in this strange world in "1 which it finds itself are unknown.

The most extravagant Enropean monarch as regards dress was the late Czar of Russia. The bill of his civil taflor bordered on $10,000 a year, and that of his military tallor $15,000. His top-hat cost him $25, and every year he gave $2,000 for a fur coat. It is said that he neyer gave less that $60 for a suit, and never wore it more than three times. = Compared with him the Kaiser was quite shappy. His price for a suit is at most $86, and he will wear it thirty times; whilst King Haakon spends no more 'on a suit than the average Norwegian grocer. J ° 2 » .
