What are you going to do with the,
stupid child tho mentally dclclcnl
child? Will you lako tho trouble to
give him the special training that he
needs, or will you allow him lo shift
for himself' Will you by special of
fort help him to becomo a useful and
respected citizen, or will you allow
him to bo ridiculed by his playmates
and, through discouragement and
chagrin, become a burden to society,
either as u worthless ne'er-do-well or
s an outright criminal? This is a so
lous problem. It is a hopeful sign
that high-minded men and women ati
Uempllng lo solvo It. For several
years Boston has been paying spcjlal
ttcnllon to tho education of deficient
children. New York is beginning to
o this and other cities aro consider-
ng It. The Investigation In Now York
shows that from 1 to 2 per cent of
tho children In the public schools arc
mentally dcnclent. There aro thus in
New York alone from 5,000 to 10,0(XJ
children that are handicapped by our
present methods of leaching and that
need tho care of tpo?lnlly trained
teachers. Tho causes of this mental
deficiency arc numerous. It may bo
lercdltary; It may bo improper food;
or physical defects, tobacco, liquor,
tea and coffee. There aro a great many
causes, but it Is not Impossible to re
move th era by the right kind of train
ing. What aro you going to do with
the stupid child? As our schools arc
now conducted, be Is always at tho
tag end of his classes. lie retards the
progress of his classmates and annoys
lis teachers. IIo Is different from his
fellows. Ho can't keep up, and he 1
dropped from class to class until he
loses hopo and gradually drifts Into
tho life of tho truant or the criminal.
t Is not to be supposed that all of the
mentally deficient ch'.lilron of tho coun
try are In New York and Boston.
rhore Is probably as largo a propor
tion of them right hero. What will you

Kresh fruit occasions many argu
ments. Ono man thinks ho would
nourish if lio could make It bis sole
irlldo of diet. Another man thinks
It Is poison, lo bo Indulged In only at
peril. Each according lo bis own
dnmnch. Leaving out the cranks,
there aro plenty of people who will be
Interested to know whnt a contributor
to the London Lancet has to say about
Hie relation of fresh fruit to digestion.
Experiments aro recorded with straw
berries, ripe chorrlcs, orange Juice,
pear Juice and apple Juice, every one
of which was found to possess for
nionls capable of doing a considerable
amount of digestive work on coagulat
ed egg albumen or blood fibrin. Tho
pear was more powerful than the ap
nle, the orange was best when ripest,
the cherry furnished an extract which
could be kept active for several years,
tho strawberry was shown to bo ef
fectlve on both the oKg and the sorum
albumen. Tho practical conclusion of
the writer Is that lo obtain tho most
benefit from succulent fruits they
should be eaten at the end of tho chief
meal of the day. Canned fruits aro
useless, he tells us. because the high
temperature to which ti.ey have been
subjected has destroyed tho forments
Stewed or baked fruits, If not too long
boated, are effective In nld of diges
tion, but tho time to eat stowed fruits,
he tells us, Is half an hour beforo
breakfast. Tho Implication of the ar
ticle Is that nobody hereafter ought
to eat fruit except upon the basis of
the recorded experiments. The writer
may be an export upon digestive proc
esses In lest tubes, but when It conies
to fruit at meal times ho has his mant
fest fallings. Ho does not even men
lion tho fresh fruit at tuo beginning
of breakfast, which Is the greatest Joy
of many a humble man's gastronomlo
existence. Until bo tells us his opln
Ion of that, Indeed until ho clve3 a
verdict entirely favorable lo It, it is
snfo to say ho will not bo an honored
prophet either nt homo or nnywhore
else.

An IlotiOMt Opinion.
Mineral, Idaho, Oct. 10. (Speclal.)-
That a sure cure has been discovered
for thoo HL'Iatlc pains that make hj
many lives miKerable, Is the firm opin
ion of Mr. D. S. Colsou, a well-known
resident of this place, and he docs not
hesitate to say that cure Is Dodd's Kid
ney Pills The reason Mr. Colsun I
so" firm in bis opinion Is that he had
those terrible pains and (s cured.
Speaking of the matter, he says:
"I am only too happy to say Doild s
Kidney Pills have done me lots oi
good. I had awful pains In my hip s;
I could hardly walk Doddn Kidney
Pilb stopped It entirely. I think they
are a grand medicine."
All Sciatic and Ilheumatlc pains are
caused by Uric Acid in the blood
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kid
neys and healthy kidneys strain all the
Uric Acid out of the blood. With the
cause removed there can bo no Rheu
matism or Sciatica.

JAPANESE DISCIPLINE.
Not merely up to tho ago of school
life, supposed to begin nt 0 years, but
considerably beyond It, a Jnpancso
2hlld enjoys a degree of liberty far
greater than Is allowed to Occidental
children. Tho general rule, says Laf
sadlo Ilearn in "Japan," Is tbat tho
rlilld be permitted to do ns Iks pleases,
providing that his conduct can causo
no injury to himself or others. Lie la
guarded, but not constrained; admon
ished, but rarely compelled. In short,
he Is allowed to be no mischievous
that, as a Jnpancso proverb says.
"Even tho holes by tho roadside hatfl
a boy of 7 or 8 years old."
Punishment Is administered only
when absolutely necessary, and oi!
such occasions, by ancient custom, thf
entire household servants and all
Intercedes for the offender, the little
brothers and.'slstcrs begging In lure
to bear tho penalty Instead. To fright
en a child by loud, harsh wordB oi
angry looks is condemned by genera'
opinion. All punishment ought to b
Inflicted ns calmly as possible, tin
punlsher gently admonishing the while.
To slnp a child about the head for any
reason is n proof of vulgarity and Ig
norance. It is not customary to punish by re
straining from play or by a change oi
diet or by any denial of accustomed
pleasures. To be perfectly patlcnl
with children is tho ethical law.
At school discipline begins, but It lJ
at first so very light that It can hardlj
be called discipline. The teacher doei
not act ns a master, but rather as an
elder brother, and there is no punish
njent beyond a public admonition
Whatever restraint exists Is chiefly ex
erted on the child by the common opin
ion of Ills class, and a skilful tcachci
is able to direct that opinion.
Each class Is nominally governed by
one or two little captains, selected foi
character and Intelligence, nnd when
disagreeable order has to bo given, 11
Is the child-captain, tho kyucho, whe
Is commissioned with the duty of giv
ing it. In higher classes tho pressure
slightly Increases, and In hlghet
schools it is very much stronger, the
ruling power always being class senti
ment, not the individual will of tho
teacher.
It Is never the domination of tho
ono over the many that regulates eluss
life. II Is always the rule of the many
owr the one, and the power Is formid
able Tho student who offends class
-senriment will suddenly And himself
Isolated, condemned lo absolute soli
tmle. No one will speak to blm or no
tlce hhn even outside the school until
such time ns he decides to make a
public rpology, when his pardoa will
depend upon a majority vote.

An extraordinary discovery of treas
ure has been made at tho Samara
goods station, telegraphs our Odessa
correspondent
Some boys were seen trying to opoc
a box which had been taken from a
truck in the railway siding, and thej
refused to stop when threatened by a
workman. On tho lid being wrenched
off, tho box appeared to be full of Rus
sian paper money. By Its weight, how
ever, it was evident that something
else besides paper was inside, and be
! neath the notos neatly packed rolls oi
gold pieces were eventually dlscov'
ercd.
Tho news of the affair spread like
wildfire, and the local chief of tho po
lice being informed, oiilcera wero post
ed round the goods station while inves
tigation was made. Tho box opened
was one of four, nnd tho threo olheri
were still on the truck. On being
opened they wero also found to coiv
tain money in notes nnd gold.
Altogether tho amount in the boxes
totaled Just under a million rubles
nearly ?BOO,000. Tho boxes had ar
rived from the far East, and wero de
scribed as "household belongings."
Each ono boro the Bed Cross stamp.
Tho wholo affair savors strongly of
officially assisted misappropriation oi

paper has not hesitated to dcclaro
that the police at Samara improved tho
occasion by appropriating a portion of
tho trcasuro during the official hives

Crap Condttloua In Western Cnuade
Were Novcr Better tbaa Thoy Art
To-day.
In order to secure tho attention of"
tho render to any special articlo that
In brought before tho public It is ofton
tho custom to lead tho render on by
the introduction of an Interesting story
until by ono bold Jump he Is Intro
duced to the subject that It la desired
shall be brought to his notice This
Is not fair to the reader, nnd it is not
the intention to do that In this article,
It will discuss In tho briefest way
"Western Canada" and Its possibilities
for settlement. For the past s-$jb
seven years tho irovcrnment of n.he
Dominion of Cauadn has talked of the
rcsoutces of Western Cannda to th
readers of HiIh and thousands of other
papers throughout the United States.
The quality of the soil was spoken ot,
the large area of fertile lauds was
discussed, tho possibilities of the coun
try ns a grain-growing district were
talked of, and the story of the sue
cess of farmers from the United States
wns told. The story Is not yet an old
one. The two hundred thousand from
the United States, who hare mads
Western Canada their home, who have
taken advnntage of the 100 acres of
land that tho government gives free
to actual settlers are telling the story
to-day to their friends. They have
proven the statements made through,
these columns, and by the government
agents. They havo produced from
their lands twenty, thirty, forty and
more bushels of wheat to the acre, and
netted profits ranging from three to
ten aud moro dollars on every aero
tilled. They havo found tho climate
would be, schools were convenient and
easily organized. rallwavB wero nob
far distant, and markets closo at
hnnd. The social conditions wero such
as they chose to make them, and law
nnd order wero observed. Many ot
them bought land, because It was low
priced nnd good, and hundreds of cases,
could be cited where tho purchase'
price of the land was paid out of tho
first crop. The writer knows of easel
this year where the farmer, ns a re
suit of the yield on his farm, was puf
In a position that would enable hhn
to Increase his holdings threo extr.i
acres for every neve cropped and paj
cash for It. Is It any wonder thnt out
grows enthusiastic when speaking
about Western Cnnda?
But what may be said of this yearl
We are now In a position to speak re
garding It. The conditions throughoul
Manitoba nnd the new provinces of Al
bertn and Saskatchewan have been re
markably favorable. Had conditions
been no better than In past years, there
would havo been every cause fotjpa
gratulatlon. We find, thoiiKh. aTrnro-
vlous records broken, and that front
a four million acre crop of wheat there
will be one hundred million bushels ot
a yield, or 25 bushels to the aero.
Could anrthlntr better be desired? Cov
oiing the entire country the same
splendid reports nro being received.
The following dispatch wriB sent by
Mr. V. W. Thompson, Vice President
or the Ogllvle Milling Co., one of the
most careful grain men In America: f
"Have Just returned from covering
"several hundred miles of the crop dls
"trlct. I never saw anything like it in
"this country before. The average
"yield and quality far exceeds our
"earlier expectations. It Is an lm
"mense crop. The weather is extreme
"ly favorable." Ud to three weeks aee
It was Mr. Thompson's opinion that J
the crop would not reach general ex
pectations. F. W. Thompson sends another tele
gram from Winnipeg to-night, saying
that his estimate of the wheat crop ta
now one hundred million bushels. Bo-
fore he went west he thought It would
fall considerably short of that figure
The moral of this story Is that ther
should be no hesitation in making a de
cision If you wish to better your con
dition; or, If you have a family of boys
that you wish to become settled on
farms. It is a safe proposition to call
upon the nearest authorized Canadian
government ngent. and get particulars
as to most suitable districts and rail
way rates.
