Children‘s opinions on most subâ€" jects generally are interesting and amusing, and on such a subject as the behaviour of their elders they ought to be doubly so. I asked a class of nineâ€"yearâ€"olds to write a composition | on â€" ‘‘How _ Ladies Should Behave,"‘ and some of the information I received is, I think, worth passing on. I will give one boy‘s composition in full, just as a fair sample, and then make selecâ€" tions from the rest : The bizarre in dress is to be seen more often than anywhere, perâ€" haps, on the great racecourses of France. _ This remarkable Paris gown was recently photographed at the Longchamps races, where the most extreme Parisian styles are always seen. to Fiveâ€"czent Theatres; but go to some play that is by Shakespeare, or some of the other plays. ‘And if they are introduced. to somebody they do not know, they shake hands and the person that introduces them says : ‘This is Miss â€"â€"~ Mr.â€"â€"â€".‘ ‘Glad to meet you,‘ then they say, ‘Did you come from ~â€"â€"=1.."Yes, did you.l_. ‘Yos L did."‘ "If they go to a reception, they should put on their best dress, and shake bands with the person that invites them, and then go around and meet the other‘ people they know. ‘Ladies should not go with bad company, because it will disgrace their family.

She should keep her shoes clean. Ladies should have their husâ€" band‘s supper ready when he comes home for it.

A despatch from Brockville says : Margaret Sullivan, a patient at the Eastern Hospital for the Insane, was burned to death Friday night in a fire, believed to have been started by her, which destroyed the barns on tne Stagg farm, north of Brockville, purchased by the Govâ€" ernment some time ago as an addiâ€" tion to the asylum lands. The woâ€" man was found in flames at a corâ€" ner of the barns, .and died of her injuries a few hours later. ‘The barns were entirely destroyed, with their contents, a large number of horses being saved with difficulty.

Six Women and One Man Meet a Watery Grave. A despatch from East Greyton, Mass., says: Six women and a man were drowned and three others were saved when a motor boat sank in Long Pond Saturday. The resâ€" cues were made by Frederick Maâ€" cey, treasurer of the Soule Mill, of New Redford, who has a cottage at the pond. Responding to the cries he was able to pick up four persons with his motor boat. One of these failed to revive. The party was bound for a dance at_ Lakeside Park. Soon after leaving shore the boat sprang aleak. Some reports said the bottom dropped_ out, throwing all into the water. Accidentally Discharged Gun He Was Cleaning. A despatch from Sault Ste.

Probably the simplest method for anyone to adopt to determine just how far they can go in sports that involve rather violent exercise is to first take their pulse beforo enterâ€" ing into the sport; then, after the game, such as a competition in golf or tennis or wrestling or boxâ€" ing, take the pulse again. It will bave naturally increased. At the end of fifteen minutes take the pulso again. If it has returned to normalâ€"that is, to what it was beâ€" fore the exercise was commencedâ€" you can stand such exercise withâ€" out any ill effects. If your pulse has not returned to its normal beats the exercise was too violent for you. § From their investigations thus far it is not going to be very easy for any one to draw such a line for general observance. The trouble is that some can stand more violent exercise than others. Professor Nicolia declared that the Qll)ge,. should resume its norâ€" mal beat within fiftesr minutes afâ€" ter every sort of exercise, otherâ€" wise physical troubles, especially with the heart, will develop. Professor Nicolal Says They Don‘t Take Enrough Exercise. German scientists are taking a deep interest in sports, not in the way of participation,. but as a study. They are seeking to learn exactly where tho benefit coases and the harm begins; for while it is not known that sports are beneâ€" ficial to a certain degree and also harmful to excess, it is not known just where. one should draw tho line. ‘Statistical data show,""‘ declarâ€" ed Professor Nicolia, "that town dwollers and domestic animals have comparatively small hearts. This is because they do not take sufficient exercise. â€" Bodily exercise should be continued only so long as it is possible to breaths with the mouth closed. When you have exercised so violently that your mouth flies open involuntarily, and you ‘pant‘ or gasp for breath, you are surely overdoing it."‘ All the professors, including some womenâ€"experts, were in favor of mild exercises for adults as well as children. Fraulein Dr. Hirsch, of Berlin, declared that women make a great mistake by giving up exercise after marriage. ‘‘Women should continue to take exercise, mild gymnastios, and the like, afâ€" ter marriago,"‘ she declared, and then she declared that high heels, lacing and such evile counteract all the benefits that might accrue to women from exercise. Professor Krause, of Berlin, said the prevailing tendency was to overdo all sports. He declared that young men especially. striving in competition overtrained themselves, and, while becoming proficient \in one thing, like vaulting or. running or jumping, they at the same time weakened their hearts andâ€" got themselves into extremoly dangerâ€" ous conditions. â€" He insisted that temperance in exercise and in such sports as were violent was quite .as necessary as temperance in other things.

General. _ Let us imagine by way of analogy that this nation is suddenly conâ€" fronted by : With him is noâ€" variableness, neither shadow of turning.â€"James ty 17. > Few things have done so much to upset traditional religious concepâ€" tions in recent times as the discovyâ€" ery of what we know as the Reign of Law. If God exists we must beâ€" lieve that He is free, and that He has the power to doâ€" whatever he may desire at any time. And yet here are we told by those who ought to know that the activities of this universe are everywhere proceedâ€" ing according to certain laws which wre universal in their application ind absolute in their operation. The life of the world, in other words, is determined and permits of the intrusion of no particle of spiritual freedom. And this means, if it means anything, that God does not exist ; or, if He does exist, that He is not the triumphant being to whom men have for ages addressed their worship and their prayers. Such seems the essential conflict between the theological idea of God and the scientific idea of law. But is the case really as bad as it apâ€" pears 1 At once we speculate as to what certain statesmen who are in posiâ€" tions of responsibility will do. Of one. man, it is promptly sal, "‘Heaven only knows what stand he will take. You never can tell what he is going to say or do. First he‘s here, and then he‘s there, and again he‘s somewhere else, You can‘t lay down any ‘law or prinâ€" ciple by which his actions are guidâ€" ed. He simply does as fancy strikes him at the moment.‘‘ Of & certain other ‘public man, however, very different things are said. ‘"Oh, we know what he will do, all right! You can always tell where he will stand on every question. Why, it‘s just.as sure that he will fight this measure as it is sure that the sun will rise toâ€"morrow morning. This man can‘t choose. He must do this or else belie the unvarying record He Knows So Fully That There Can Never Be'But One Thing That He Can Do W. G. Martin, of Toronto, Foully Done to Death in New York. A despatch from New York says : W. G.

Two deep stab wounds were foundâ€"behind each ear, and there was a deep gash on the head. Dr. Depassie of the Polytechnic Hospital said the man had been dead for a number of hours. The pockets of the clothing on the body had been turned inside out, giving evidence that robbery had been the motive.

GOD AND THE REIGN OF LAW So Says Dr. Laberge, Medical Health Officer of Montreal. A despatch from Montreal says : Exactly 2,853â€" children have died here since January 1.

Laberge, the citys Medical Offiâ€" cer of Health, has indisputable proofs at the City Hall that Montâ€" real‘s infant mortality rate is far and away the highest of all the cities on the continentâ€"those in the U.

His chief efforts are concentrated on the problem of reducing the infant death rate.

RIOTING AT LONDONDERRY. ONnE CHILD DIES PER HOUR. COLDâ€"BLOODED MURDER. A Serious Public Crisis. of forty years of public service."" Thus do we speak of these two men. The one is weak, erratic, unâ€" principled and thus hopelessly unâ€" certarm. The other is strong, high minded, steadfast, and thus bound, as it were, by some iron law of rectiâ€" tude. With human beings, in other words, the field of choice in proâ€" blems of individual conduct becomes restricted as we mount the heights of character. The clearer a man‘s vision the saner his mind ; the puroer his heart the more he feels himself caught in some great law of moral necessity which determines for him his line of action. Certainly this is our own experience if we underâ€" stand ourselves aright. When we are at our worst morally we are weak and irresolute and thus liable to do anything. When we are at our best, however, we feel moved, as it were, by some great power not ourselves. At such a~moment ‘of rapture We feelâ€"wo knowâ€"that there is only one thing that we can do, and we forthwith do it ! Just here do we see how the idea of God can be reconciled with the idea of Law. What is partially true of the best men, what is true of us at our best moments, is wholly trus of God all the time. God knows His own mind. God is moved by one unâ€" deviating purpose. And this one thing is what we actually see going on all of the time in the manifold processes of the universe. Natural law, as read and registered by the scientist, is simply the way in which God in His perfect wisdom always acts. And CGod always acts in this way because He is God. His freeâ€" dom is none other than Divine Neâ€" cessity. 6e Is this not the solution of our doubts? If any God is unworthy of our worship it is the God who is as capricious as a child. If any God is worthy of our worship it is the God who is the sams yesterday, toâ€" day and forever. ‘"With him is no variableness, â€" neither_ shadow of turning.‘""‘ In Him we may put our trust.â€"Rev.
