UIGIIT.S OF CII1I.1MIK.V.
Child No I.niiKer ItoKiirded u n Clint
el TIiIiik It Mny Uxpccl.
From time Immemorial tho rights of par
ents over their children havo been empha
sized with all tho forco of law, of public
opinion and the rod. In tho present degree
of civilization It Is beginning to dawn upon
mnnklnd that children mny havo some
rights which should bo respected nnd that
these would havo been heeded long ago had
not children themsolvcs been too Ignorant
and weak to recognize or demand them.
All ancient peoples required filial obcdl
enco and parontal or ancestor worship.
Moses, thb reputed giver of tho fon Com
mandments, domanded that honor be paid
father and mother In order that one enjoy
length of days, ami this may be a vital
source ot the strict and admlrablo Jewish
family life Tho Chinese holy writ nlso
commands the most abject slavery to the
wonts or caprices of parents mothers-in-law
especially to bo waited upon and obeyed.
So do all the Orientals consider the child
the chattel ot tho parent, to be given in
marriage without choice, the property
rights lasting as long as tbo life ot the
parent.
Doubtless American youth may profit by
lessons learned from the Chlnose, but this
does not diminish tho certain rights which
children have, by virtue ot the fact that
they aro hero without their own volition.
Brought into tho world with no choice
of heredity or environment, thoy have the
inalienable right to tender care during In
fancy, to-a harmonious homo, to the Exam
ple of every possible moral quality In father
and mother, to nn education, to as much
liberty In personal lfe as Is compatible with
their youth and inexperience, to freedom
ot cholco in vocation and marriage.
Many more subtile and less evident con
ditions they also have a right to expect
to bo born In wedlock, to bo conceived In
deepest affection and to be ot a family
sufficiently small to ndmlt of personal
comfort, good education nnd financial case,
to the stimulus of nn Intellectual and moral
home, to a wlso enlightenment upon the
naturo of vice, which may prevent sins ot
Ignorance and folly.
It is n sad reflection with the better class
of this generation how children once wore
beaten, "neglected, kept silent, put to bed
hungry nnd indifferently educated. Yet
such wao the case and though a "hardy
race" may have been thus developed, It Is
noticeable that It never desires Its own
offspring to suffer like hardships.
When Froebol, tho loving German, with
bis marvelous porceptlon, gathored a fsw
llttlo ones about him in his kindergarten
garden of children his conception cf'
child naturo nnd nthletlc training was
wholly now, nnd consequently unpopular.
That children should be happy, arttsttc,
trained to sing nnd dance, to rejolco In life
for tho mere sweetness or living, wn3 a
preposterous and devil-Inspired Idea to our
Puritan antecedents oven of recent date.
We now have kindergartens in every city
of any bIzo in tho United Stntos, and In
nevcrnl states they are adjuncts to the pub
lic school system. Mothers' meetings la
aristocratic neighborhoods nnd In slums, a
national mothers' congress and scores of
educational mothers' clubs show tho grow
ing tendency to study tho problems of par
ents and rights of children.
Thcro are, however, many moro difficult
and Intricate problems for Individual fam
ilies to Bottle than can be comprehended
undor any general rcclpea for the training
ot children. The parent who speaks curtly
and Indifferently to a child often wound 3 Its
sensitive soul ns permanently aa one
crushes a delicate flower. Tho father who
permits hlmsolf vicrs, small or great, cither
lessens hie Influenco with his sons, often
causing them to lose all faith In human na
ture, from tho shock of finding their Ido'
(zed father capable of sin; or he assists
them along the downward path by his own
examplo of frailty or vlclousne:s. Thui
the child either goes with him or against
blm. In the ouo case Its morals ore de
stroyed; In tho other its bapplnesi. The
mother who, cither from too great laxity
and Indifference or too much "dlsclpl'no "
loses her daughter's confidence, forfeits the
finest Vocation In tho world tho develop
ment ot the expanding chlld-mlml; and tha
nlso Incurs serious risks ct havln? the
young lite blighted by Us Ignorance ot ex
isting conditions nnd the moral laws ct
the universe for want of a mother's coun
sel, This being the case, how can those who
havo tho temerity to assumo tho responsi
bility of parenthood bo Indifferent to the
dollcato duties Involved and Ignore tho in
disputable rights of those little ones who
did not ask to be born and sometimes In
their Infant misery, as well as their ma
ture years, wish that they never had been.

OUR MODERN PUBLIC PARKS
Tbej Educate City Paoplo to Lore th
Country.
AMAZING AMOUNT OF MONEY INVESTED
SuKKeMtlons nn to Plnn of a Park,
I.njlnir Out of the Gronnda
nnd VnrletleN of Trcea
to He Plntiteil,
Within the last half century our modern
park system has been created. It has a
short, well crowded history and a tremen
dous future. Something had been dono by
individuals, but public grounds for tho
people had hardly been n dream.
There Is an Idea afloat in the air that
people havo an inalienable right to land,
air nnd water. The park gives this right,
for It belongs to young nnd old, rich and
poor. Ono eighteenth of the area of twenty
two of our largest cities Is thus given to
tho public. High art In a crowded metro
polls drives us back to nature. Peoplo
are thus educated to love tho country, nnd
wo hopo tho time Is not far off when
telephones and motor cars will glvo tho
country un attraction which will thin out
tho cities.
Moat towns havo a great pride In their
parks. They should bo more attractive than
the public buildings. Worcester, Mnsi.,
has ten of them. Ono Is on an eminence,
overlooking the whole city.
Men of public spirit nnd wealth often
lcavo largo sums to be expended for their
follow townsmen. Mr. Flynt of Monson,
Mass., Mr. Hubbard of Mcrlden, Conn.,
havo left splendid gifts for the peoplo.
Kcney of Hartford, Conn., left a princely
gift of nearly a section of land and money
to Improve it. This Is In the care ot my
old friend Parker, formerly gardener of the
Old Colony railroad.
O. D. Hndwln of Worcester, with his own
hands, planted many of tho trees that grnco
tho beautiful city nnd I think that he has
donated ouo of tho ten parks. Tho whole
park business Is growing. The nation Is
waking up as never before, nnd Immense
tracts arc set aside for the public.
The amount of money lnld out In public
grounds Is amazing. The common nnd
publtc grounds of Boston nro worth moro
than a quartor of a million. New York
and Chicago havo magnificent systems also.
Every city, town or village should havo n
placo of public resort, adorned with the
highest skill nnd finest tasto. In no Btato
Is there greater need than our own.
When a piece of land Is secured the next
thing of Importance is to secure competent
park commissioners.
Here Is where n radical mlstako is mado
which will often take years to rectify. Men
are often chosen because of political rela
tions or on account ot friendship, or be
causo they nre good fellows. If competent
men nre needed anywhere, who have a
thorough acquaintance with horticulture
nnd tho adaptation of plants and trees to
our climate, they aro needed here.
Our climate Is trying. Books can teach us
but little. Nothing but hard experlenco
can be our guide,. As well chooso a man for
tho supremo bench because ho Is n fair
school master as to choose a park commis
sioner becauso ho stands well In society and
Is a good and popular man. Without a long
experience the man ennnot know how to
buy, what to plant, or how to plant.. He
steps Into a position which should only be
gained by years ot closest study and ex
perience. (
However, the commissioner may be a busi
ness man and have a place as general
manager and a superintendent who Is an
export may bo chosen to do thp work. , One
wiio kn6ws how can plant acid caro for a
park with much less expense than one
who must feel his way every step. As a
state wo are in a raw condition when men
without experlenco are placed where the
most thorough knowlcdgo Is required.
l'lnn of n Ftirk.
It a plcco of land can be secured which
has a native torest, that should be pre
served Intact. You can havo paths winding
in and out amid these native groups, but
leave naturn to do her .best. There is a
fad now on tho run. and that is. a Dark should
always be an Imitation of some section of the
adjacent country, only native trees and
plants and every foreigner ruled out. Thl3
Is a very short-lived nnd narrow conception.
It Is raging Just now among leading land
scape gardeners. It may do now and then,
but as a system It Is too small nnd people
will find It out. Wbllo one section of the
grounds may imitato nature wo Bhould look
further and plan on a wider scale.
A park should be an educator. There Is
no better place to teach children than
among a largo collection of thrifty, growing
plants, flowers and trees.
As fast as means can be secured, every
treo that can bo made to grow, every flower
that con be mnde to bloom, should be
planted and cared for. Evon In our trying
cllmato wo can havo a succession of bloom,
tso that there will not be a day when there
will not bo something to enliven tho scene.
I would have a largo collection of lilacs.
Thero aro 130 kinds now In cultivation. I
havo raised forty of them In Nebraska, and
I think the whole tamlly will do well. What
could bo finer thnn a large clump of these?
Tho treo Hlocs of Japan and China In tho
center, next to them those of strong growth,
and next tho dwarfs, and In your clump a
succession of bloom from May to July.
Every ono should be labeled, and they
should bo planted far enough apart so that
they will be accessible.
Then 1 would have a clump of Syrlngas.
These aro hardy and nro free bloomers.
Thero aro over a dozen varieties, differing
In habit of growth and time of blooming.
The Splrras give us another very inter
esting fumlly. There Is the Argutea, a
very early bloomer, giving us a mound of
snow Then we havo tho bridal wreath,
tbon that wholesale bloomer, Van Hontll.
Many others como In. Tho grand Opullfolla
Illlllardl Douglass), and then the rear Is
brought up by the Dumosa of the Rockies.
I am growing olghteen kinds ot ever
greens, and by judicious planting theso
can all be made to grow, and many other
kinds also.
There should bo In every park in the
state a full collection of native trees,
shrubs and (lowers. Our Nebraska flora
Is not as meager as at first view It would
seem.
We have In the east trees and shrubs
which belong to tho east, and In the west
many of the trees and shrubs of the Rock
ies. I believe we have four kinds of ever
greens, Red Cedar, Silver Cedar, Plnus
Pondorosa, and It wo do not have the Black
Hills spruco, It certainly comes down very
near us. We have one of the most beau
tiful types- ot mulberry. Some growing
on the Islands ot tbo Platto have a body
like the moose maple ot Pennsylvania,
with highly ornamented leaves. Oaks grow
fifty miles west of the one hundredth merid
ian, and all told we have quite a collec
tion which should have a section In each
park.
Again, It the ground Is undulating or
hilly, th re should be a soctlon of the Rocky
mountains, Tbore aro twelve kinds of
overgreens and most of them, under fair
conditions, would do well with us. Some ot
them we know are well adapted to our hot
plains.
Hardy perennials only should be used In
planting (lowers. There Is economy In hav
ing plants that will bo permanent. Gladl
olas, gallas and dahlias are too, much
trouble and do tut endure that hot winds as
well is perennials. Rohodendrons and
aiallaa, which are the glory ot the east, are

This Is an Important matter and a com
petent landscape gardener should be se
cured, aud yet, Judged from common stand
ards, oven men ot renown do make blunders.
At Newburyport, Mass., naturo planned ono
of the finest prospects, rising and beauti
fully sloping rounds. Now tho gospel of
landscapo art Is plant for your neighbors
and for the passerby. Have beautiful vistas
open from tho roadway. Tho old English
method Is to build a high brick wall and
shut everything In. Perhaps It was tho
absenco of brick. Next to the road masses
of willow were planted, to shut out tho
view, r.nd then the grounds wero planted
mostly to Golden Syrlngas, giving tho placo
a most monotonous appearance. Soma
gardeners carry nursery stock, some buy
of a Cheap John, and It looked as If a
big Job lot was dumped on these beautiful
grounds. Wo have In our state men of
excellent taste who can be rolled on. We
would not fear to trust our Hadktnson or
Mr. Craig of Omaha.
As a general thing wo do not beltove In
much trimming, and yet when ono has
visited the Italian gardens ot II. If. Hunno-
well, Wcllesley, ho Is Impressed with tbo
possibilities of art as applied to nature,
and If the park Is largo enough there
might be a few examples of flno topiary
work. We have at Fremont, this state, as
fine an artist In this line as you will find
anywhere, Mr. F, F. Robblns has taken
the Platto cedar, which will stand moro
shearing than any troa wo havo. One tree
Is trimmed Into a mammoth lantern, an
other is cut in tho form of a'large gravy
dish, one Is a perfect globe, another Is a
cono, and one tree Is to represent a watch
dog. This work can be dono only In tho
open, for If you trim trees growing In tho
shade the limbs die.
While Individuals, cities, villages and
communities should do what they can, our
state Bhould take deep Interest In the
matter and havo a largo park system.
If you noto carefully you will find thnt
In our great valleys trees grow to an enor
mous size In a short ttrao and seem very
healthy. Instinctively tho treo will go
quite a distance for water, and when It
can be found at from ten to twenty feot
from the surfneo It makes but little differ
ence whether It Is wet or dry. It will
grow anyway.
In the valleys of tho Platte, the Loup,
Elkhorn and Republican, thero might bo
delightful parks and splendid forests ot
giant trees.
Evergreens will do well on the divides.
Theso, with ash and honey locust, which
resist the drouth, together with the Rus
sian olive, would do well cast of the ono-
hundredth meridian, and perhaps fifty miles
west.
As to the plains of western Nebraska, we
doubt not that with care large areas can
bo redeemed, The brown, sllvor and Platte
cedars, the plnon and ponderosa pines
would be all we could ask for. With ono
fourth of our great state a desolation some
thing should soon be dono. Other states
own fine parks, why should Nebraska be
without? Others have forests already grown.
we must create them. We havo three
states In one, the eastern, central and
wostern. and each requires a distinct sys
tem. I have no doubt that evon large
sections of the plains can bo redeomed, and
that parks and groves will yet take tho
place ot sameness and barrenness,

was that noblo ancestry begets a noble
brood; that n lino of gentlemen for fore
fathers gives a man a certain spirit,
stamina and courage which the yeoman and
tho shopmen lack; that the thoroughbred
man, like tha thoroughbred horse, Is su
perior' to the common mustang or cart
horse.
It Is true that the traditions of a noblo
family have a certain Influence on tho
scions thereof and keen them un to certain
Ideals, csoeclallv in tho matter of physical
courage, says tho Ban Francisco Bulletin.
Moreover, wealth, education und generous
habits of living, with which most men of
good blood aro familiar from birth, have a
tendency to create a keen sense of honor
and a personal pride that have strong in
fluence upon conduct. Yet examples prove
that blood has little advantage over the
base-born, either In tho matter of Intellec
tual or physical qualities.
The greatest men have been the offspring
of lowly ucoplc. The most rugged Intellects
seem to have como from tho tillers of the
soli and to have derived therefrom a cer
tain natural strength that men born In
castles and manor houses do not Inherit.
Of all kings nnd rulers the strongest were
tho founders of dvnastles. Tho first holder
of a hereditary title nearly ulwaya Is the
greatest. This fact was known to the
French wit who said; "We cannot all be
nobles. Some of us must bo ancestors." In
literature and all departments ot learning
the majority of the masters were plebeians
Shukc.-jpearo was the son of a wool-comber,
Johnson of u bookseller, Horace of a freed
man, Socrates of a midwife but tho list
would be too long If it were completed here.
On the nolnt of physical courage the cadet
of the oldest family In Europe and the com
monest kind of a plebeian are equal. Tho
well-born "puppies" fought bruvely nt
Waterloo, but no more bravely thnn the
common soldiers, the sons of tenants on tho
"puppies' " estates. As reckless and daring
u body of men as over fneed blazing gun
powder was a regiment In the civil war re
cruited In the lowest slums of the Bowery.
Tho stripling rouuh In the cities ot thu
United bNUes Is one of tho finest lighting
animals on two egs.
After nil physical courage Is n very com
mon anrt not a very lofty attribute. When
tho "Six Hundred" mnde Unit charge ut
Uulaklava tho horses, went where the men
rode them and six moro horseo than men
were killed, but tho horses are not cele
brated, let physical courage will bo ud
mired until the end of tlmo nnd nine
phi osophers out of ten would rather hnvo
their morals imnugned than their courugo
nnd nineteen philosophers out of twenty
would rather bo the grundsons of great men
than be tho famous founders of families.

Tho names applied to the various sU.rs nt
rooflng-slatc3 are very curious, being nil
founded upon feminine titles. Thus, slates
16 Inches long by 8 Inches wide are called
'ladles;" "countesses'" are 18 Inches by 10;
"princesses," 22 Inches by 12; "queens,"
26 Inches by 14. These names were given
to slates by General Warburton, tho pro
prietor of ono of tho largest North Wales
slate quarries, about a century ago.

Advices from Skagway of tho latest dato,
state that, after some of tho bodies wero
washed aiboro ghoulish acts were com
mitted by Indians. At that time tho coast
was not In control ot patrolmen and tho
bodies cast ashoro were temporarily unpro
tected. As soon as it was discovered In
Juneau that the work of robbing tbo corpses
was In progress the United States marshal
dispatched a number ot deputies 10 the
ccno and at tho dato of sailing of tho
Hating It was understood that several of tho
ghoula hod been apprehended,
Of the bodies recovered nfiio wero burlod
in Juneau. It is understood that tho ma
jority of interred remains wore (hose of
members ot the crew. It Is thought that
some bodies yet remain within the wreck.
Tho task of raising tho vessel has uot beeu
considered but soundings will bo mado to
ascertain nt what depth the Islander lies.
Should It prove to bo under tblrty-flvo
fathoms an attempt will bo made to raise
tho wrecked vessel,
