ADVENT OF NEW POWERS
Period When All the Possibilities of
the Child Come to the Front and
He Feels He Can Do
Anything.
By SIDONIE M. GRUENDERG.
AFTKIt dinner I he grown-ups sut
about on rockers down on the lawn
while the younger people danced on
the wide veranda to the music of a
phonograph.
A father was saying that so far as
he could observe the chief reason for
the high cost of living was to he found

so fickle In their tastes, lie did not

they were many his son Percy had

and dishes and chemicals less than a
venr ago, and now he did not care a
bit for photography was going in for
geology, and had decided to go to col
lege Just to have a chance to study
that.
Father thought that he might have
stuck to photography and finally
worked Into the business It Is a
pretty good business or he might
have made up his mind about geology
last year and have saved all that
money.
Mrs. Darling felt the same sort of
grievance, for her Genevieve had
made such a muss about the house
with her photographs and things, ami
now she hardly ever takes her camera
out. Indeed, Genevieve has had four
hobbles since she took up with the
camera there was raising pansles,
and hand-painted china, and the for
eign missions, and now It's dancing.
The Darlings never mention the cost
of anything; but such shifting and rest
lessness Is very distracting.
Another mother observed that after
all we have to expect to do a great
deal for our children, hut she did
fear that her son was frittering away
altogether too much time in ways that
would prove to be unprofitable. lie
gave up collecting stamps when his
album was far from full, and there It
was, after all that work, doing nobody
any good. And It was the same way
with his wireless telegraph. They
had had so much trouble getting a per
mit for the masts, and he had worked
so hard studying the codes until he
was able to pick up nil sorts of curi
ous and Interesting messages (the
mother could not conceal her pride be
hind her complaints), nnd now all was
abandoned since he met that North
boy, who Interested him In ants! What
all this would lead to goodness only
knew, and she was pntlent enough,
goodness also know.
And Mr. Burrowes, who dreaded the
water, felt the same way about It;
for had not his son dabbled about In
a dozen yes, a score-r-of useless hob
bles, only to turn around suddenly
ith his mind made up to enter the
Naval academy next yenr, when he
would be old enough? As If there
were not a hundred excellent things
to do on the solid enrth I And he pro

they were entitled to all that worry
they worried la the wrong direction.
The young people, If they are fairly
healthy, and If they are fairly free to
find out about what's going on In the
world, and If they are fairly free to
go in for things that do not bring in
money or especially If they have a
clinnce to go In for things that cost
money are quite sure to take up
one absorbing hobby after another. It
Is Just because there are so many ex
cellent things to do on the solid earth
and in tho air, and in tho water, too
that they need several years to find
out which they would rather do. And
apparently the only way to find out is
by trying the feel of them all.
Of course, this Is rather expensive,
because the things with which they
clutter up tho house are never used
up entirely, nnd they form a worth
less collection of Junk to mnrk the me
anderlngs of the ndolescent mind. Hut
the most serious concern Is not the

that the growing girl or boy will be

unsettled wanderer without definite
purpose or goal. And It must he ad

reaches .cars of maturity without hav

Kor the adolescents In general, how
ever, this rapid shifting of Interest
seems to he the normal manifestation
of the rapid development going on
within the nru'iiiilsm. The changes in
the in n on- s.wom bring forth a tinil
litude of new Interests and new Im
pulses, which simply cannot ail Hud

crowd upon each oilier in such fash

habits and conventionalized standards
these fickle ways are not only annoy
ing but often even alarming. Those

unreasonable; and what will It all
lead to?
The adolescent years itiv those In
which the child feels that he can do
anything that older human beings can
do; and, In truth, no one has yet found
the limits of what he can tin. The
rapid growth In physical and mental
strength gives rise to the feeling of
unlimited growth ; and past perform

the advent of new powers. All the
possibilities of the child come to the
front, and It Is only as these are tried
out that the most profitable lines of
development can be discovered.
The danger for most children dur
ing this period of growth and Impres
sion is not In the dissipation through
contact with too many lines of Inter
est, but In the lack of opportunity to
try out enough to give a broad sym
pathy in sentiment, a wide outlook in
intellect and a wise choice of perma

Let the children dabble while the

HONOR ACCORDED TO GREEKS
Believed to Have Been the First Peo
ple to Introduce Written Alma
nacs to the World.
The first written almanacs probably
were compiled by the Greeks of Alex
andria between 100 and 150 A. D. Cal
endars nre much older, the ancient Ho
nians having proclaimed tho first of the
month and posted n notice of its oc
currence In a public place. The first
of the month thus came to he called
The Kalends, from "I call" or "I pro
claim," anil thus the world "calendar"
was derived.
Probably the oldest calendar In ex
istence was found In tho ruins of Pom
pell. It was cut upon a square block
of marble, upon each side of which
three months are registered, each head
ed by the proper sign of the zodiac.
The first almanac printed in Europe
covered the years 1475, 1494 and 151H
and was published at Kudu, Hungary.
The first printed almanac In England
was tho "Sheapheards Kalender,"
printed In 1407. In the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries nlmanacs became
comparatively common In Europe. The
early almanacs contained many prog
nostications regarding "the Dlspocis
slon of the People nnd also of tho

3:10.
This most famous Interview in his- ;
tory occurred probably In some room
in Juusalem where Jesus was a guest, I
a room reached by au outer fairway
so that he could receive visitors prl- '
vatcly. ,
I. The Teacher of the Jews (vv. 1,
'J). Is'lcodeiaus was a member of tho '
.sanhedrin (Oh. 7:.r0). He belonged to I
the Pharisees who were much devoted t
to the scriptures, and In whose hand (
the political affairs were largely
placed by the ltomatis. There are sev-
ernl reasons why Nlcodemus came to
Jesus by night. Prudence dictated se
crecy, but that he came at ail was en
couraging. He was more apt to find
Jesus at home In the evening. He had
much that ho wished to learn, and
needed n quiet hour, removed from
the crowd. The things that Jesus had
done and taught made Klcodemus
think that Jesus might he the Mes
siah. Nicodemus wanted to know
how to be blessed or happy.
II. A Teacher From God (vv. 3-8).
A great mnjorlty of the disciples of
Jesus came from the common people
(I Cor. 1:110) yet for all classes ho
had the same message, "Ye must bo
born again." The answer of Jesus
was according to the condition of tho
man before him, the deepest need of
his soul. Literally, he said, "Most as
suredly, except u man (anyone) bo
born again (anew or from above) ho
cannot enter tho kingdom of heaven."
To be born nnew means to be born
gnln. It matters not what your par
entage may have been. If any man
could do without n new birth. Nlco
demus wns that man. He was moral,
religious and sincere. The Instrument
through which this birth is effectlvo
is tho word of God (I Peter 1:23;
Jnmes 1:18; John 15:3) and the au
thor Is the Holy Spirit (v. 5; Titus
3:B). Wntor is u symbol of tho word
(Eph. G:2fl). Literally translated,
this pnssago would read, "Except ono
be born of water and wind." And ns
wind "by universal consent refers to
ono factor In regeneration, the Spirit,
so tho water manifestly refers to tho
other element of regeneration, tho
word." The innilt contention is thnt
the word Is tho Instrument In tho re
generation. Although not expressly
mentioned here, it is elsewhere.
Nicodemus wns n teacher of Israel (v.
10 It. V.) and yet ho did not know so
fundamental n truth ns the new birth,
though tho Old Testament taught It.
III. The Pupil's Difficulty (vv. 0-13).
Tho works of the llesh ns contrasted
with tho fruits of the frplrlt are
brought out In the Epistles, yet, llko
Nicodemus, people nre asking todny,
"How can these things be?" Jesus
challenges Nicodemus with the words,
"Art thji n tencher of Israel nnd un
derstnndcsf not these things?" Wliat
Jesus said to Nicodemus (vv. 11-13)
Is true of the scriptures now, especial
ly of the New Testament. They tes
tify to tho facts which Jesus knew
nnd revonled, he having been In
heaven, nnd come down from henven
for the purpose of making them
known. To be born implies thnt It
is the starting point of n new life, thnt
we must grow ns n child grows to bo
n man until it reaches to "n perfect
mnn unto tho measure of tho stature
of tho fullness of Christ" (Eph. 4 :13).
IV. The Lesson Illustrated (vv. 14,
15, 18). Jesus believed in objectlvo
teaching, and ho hero refers to n
memorable event in tho early history
of tho Jews nB illustrating his teach
ing. Tho Journey through the wilder
ness to tho promised lnnd beenmo
wenry nnd discouraging, nnd tho Is
raelites complained bitterly of their
hardships, complaining ngnlnst God
nnd ngalnst Moses, Punishment camo
In the form of fiery serpents, cnlled
fiery from tho burning, stinging sensa
tion caused by their bite. So Intense
wns the venom of the bites thnt they
became fatal In a few hours. This
punishment made tho people realize
thr nwful evil of sin. They acknowl
edged their sin, and prayed for for
giveness. Moses mndo n brazen ser
pent, nnd carried it through tho enmp
eo thnt nil could see, nnd looking ho
camo nn act of faith, Implying repent
ance and return to obedience nnd to
God. Thus our snlvatlon Is literally,
"Look and live;" hellovo and hnvo
eternnl life; doubt nnd perish (Mnrk
10:10; John 3:3G).
V. God's Greatest Gift (v. 10). This
is probably tho most familiar verso
known to tho Christian world, and
has led more souls to snlvatlon than
nny other In tho IMhle. Tn it Is re
vealed tho mighty God "For God;"n
mighty motive "God so loved;" u
mighty scope. "God so loved tho
world;" u mighty fincrlflee "God so
loved tho world that he gavo his only
begotten Son;" a mighty escape
"should not perish;" a mighty gift
"eternnl life."
This verse Is tho gospel In n nut
shell; the origin and grounds of bis
salvation.

Why Rheumatism Comes
: With Cold Weather!
BY VALENTINE MOTT FIERCE, M. D.
A cloao connection exists between
theso two cold weather and rheu
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has tho most followers in tho medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or ita
Baits in excess, is the real cuuso of rheu
matism. Kveryone has recognized tho
difference in tho nppearanco of their
water ns eoon as it gets cold ; thcro Is
often a copious sediment of bnckdust.
Several causes may lead up to nn
accumulation of urio acid in tho system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
gout, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For ono reason tho
ekin docs not throw off the urio acid, by
profuse sweating, as in tho hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take earn
of tho doublo burden. Another reason
