fc. THE OMAHA DAILY BEEv/\VEDJESUAV / , MAY 1 , 1805. . by Mrs. Aiiciicti n. Itentle-fon , It has lately been ald that this Is tie ! children's age. Great attention Is paid to their physical and mental development. So cieties have been formed for a. critical analy- ils of their periods of growth , and Its relation to development of brain power. There are at present 120 societies in the country de voted to this study. The Kind of literature which should bo slven to very young chil dren Is nlso receiving attention. Wise mothers realize that a child's taste cannot be formed too soon. From the first they read to their little ones Bclcttlons from the best poets , and It Is astonishing how soon the children learn to appreciate them. A young mother , who lives near , reads tales of mythology to her llttb ones. She Bays these stories must one day be a part of their education , and why not begin now ? While the trend of public opinion Is for Improvement In these directions , Is It not tlmo for a decided change In the kind cf mimic taught to children ? Why should they be obliged to sing the un mitigated trash of which most of our Sunday school music Is composed ? It should be swept from the face of the earth. If , from the first , children were taught good music wo should not so often hear the remark : "I did not go to hear the Thomas orchestra be cause I am not educated up to that class of music. German children are as familiar with airs from the old masters as our chil dren are with the unspeakable Jingle of the music In carnnon use among uj. A good story Is told of an old Scotch lady , who did not llko modern church music. She was expressing her dislike to an an them sung In her own church one day , when a neighbor snld : "Why. that Is a very old nnthcm. David sang It bsfore Saul. " "Weel , weel , " answered the old lady , "I nee for the first tlmo understand why Saul threw his Javelin at David when the lad sang for him. " Javelins would fly In every direction If Saul had to listen to some of the music of today. Why should the Catholic and Episcopal churches enjoy almost a monopoly of line music ? Hxccpt the "Credo" and "Gloria In Excelsls , " the- words of the mass In the Catholic church nro taken from the Holy Scriptures. In the 'Episcopal church the music is largely chanting , and the words arc taken from the Scriptures. Why should not the children of other de nominations bo taught to chant the Psalms ? They would remember and love the-ni all their lives , when "Yield Not to Temptation" and "Have Courage , My Hey , to Say No" have been Joyfully forgotten. Praise is ns much a part of worship as Is prayer , nnd children should be so taught. Would It not be more reverent and In ac cord with the spirit cf praise to sing the words , "Heaven nnd Earth Are Full of the Majesty of Thy Glory" than the lines quoted above ? Words which are addressed to people ple are notsultable for the worship of the Most High. Hymns should be metrical prayers , or ascriptions ) of praise. The Cath olic and Episcopal churches hold their young people largely on account of their superior music , and the exalted character of theli hymnology. Is It not time to inaugurate" a change In our church music , and forever banish the Insufferable trash which some persons thrust upon us , because , they say , the people can appreciate no other ? THR GAIN OP ADVERSITY : lAillly said to a threatening cloud. That In sternest garb nrrnyed him , .You have tnken my lord , the nun. away. And I know not where you have laiO him. It folded Its leaves , nnd trembled sore As the hours of darkness press'd It , But nt morn , like a bride. In beauty shone For with pearls the dews had dress'U It. Then it felt ashamed of Its fretful though And fain In the dust would hide It , For the night of weeping had Jewell brought , Which the pride of dnv denied It. lA'DIA II. SIGOUUNEY. A I.ogcml of I.I I Irs. The Illy bud yawned and stretched her self , took her two white * hands from he yes , shiok out her skirts , and , yes , reall ; was awal at last , and could see the greet earth anci the blue sky and the warm sun Bhlne that she had dreamed about. "Hov beautiful it Is , " she said. "How beautlfu you arc , " murmured a butterfly , standlni on a rosebush near by , "BO white and tal end slender. " The Illy had not though nbout herself before. "I am very white , ' she thought. "I am glad I am white , am not red , like the rose , and It Is certalnl ; far nicer to be tall than so low as those llttli pansles. Ono can see so .much better , am one can be seen , too , and that Is worth whlli when one Is as white as I am. " And so , at the long sunny day , she stood there am admired her fairness and her height. 13 ; and by the sun set , and it grew dark "Dear me , what Is going to happ'on now , ' Bald the Illy. Something very beautiful hap pened , for the stars Mine out one by ono til the sky was thick with them. "Oh , I wlsl I could ba n star , " said the Illy , and sh stood on tiptoe , but she could not reach t them , try as she might. While she was gaz ing up and Eteretchlng her hands towan them a star fell down , down , trailing : fading glory behind him , until at last I Bank with a long shiver right among th leaves of the Illy , n heavy , dark stone. Th lily's fac ? shone white In the starlight , an the fallen star said to her : "Earth star , ma I light my lamp from you ? It has gen quite out. " "Oh , I am not a star ; I am enl a Illy , " she said. "Tell me , star , how yo came to fall , haven't you any roots ? " "I was this way , " said the star sadly. "I wa elttlng on my throne , and my lamp wa burning so brightly that I got to thlnkln how glad I was that I was a mighty sta of heaven , and not a poor , fading eart flower , and I forgot God. Then the angi came , strong and terrible , and said : "nt cause you have forgotten God you must be come ono of the poorest and humblest thing of earth , " and ho shook me from my sea In heaven , for my pride In thinking mysel above my sisters , the flowers , who are als the children of God. " And the stone slghe Very deeply. Then the Illy began to thin ! Had not she , too , been proud ? Had she IK been proud of her whiteness and purity a the star had been of his strength ? What the angel should come and uproot her an cast her out to die ? And in her sorrow an fear she bent her beautiful head , and tw tears rolled slowly down upon the falle etar. They sank Into him , softened thehar etono into a deep , rich earth , and whe morning dawned a flower sprang out of I a Illy , that hid Its whiteness beneath brew Krwn leaves , and , llko humility , the tet flerest of graces , could only be found by II fragrance. It was the lily of the valley. EVALEB MATTHEWS. A llrlcht Cut. ( A True Story. ) There was once a kitty that lived In bouse where there were four little glrlo. SI was very fond of them all , but the tw youngest , were her especial favorites. Dy sad misfortune the little cat had lost hewn < own family , and she seemed to think the : two children were her property. She fo lowed them everywhere. If a hapless dc strayed too near she rushed at It In a we that struck terror to his heart. She trie to soothe the children when they were ! trouble. Oracle waa 2 years old. She wi usually a very well behaved little girl , In one day she was naughty and her mainn told her to go In the next room and stay I herself until she could bo good. Very mu < against her will she was left to herself , ai the air resounded with her cries. Sodden the noise ceased. The mother softly openi the door to see what was. the matter. Tl kitty was standing on her hind feet , wll liw front pawn on Oracle's shoulders. 81 van licking her face and telling her , as well s she could , how sorry she was for her.

Kitty rose , went . to the door and mewed to bo let out. In a few minutes she ppeared , bringing a very large nnd very Irty crust of bread In her mouth. She had vldcntly found It In the alley.

My Dear George McNelll : I am askeJ y some ladles to wrtlo an article for chll- ron , telling them how best to take care of heir health , nnd it has seemed to me that ho best plan will bo to make this article n the form of a letter to you , because you ro Just nt an ago when a boy grows very estlcss under the care of older persons , nd then for another reason that boys , ooner than girls , get out of their mother's r grandmother's care. The first point hat I shall make Is In regard to the care f the skin. You will be surprised when I tell you hat the whole surface of your body Is iado up of myriads of tiny pores , which pen out Into this world and are used for a pcclcs of ventilation , some of them for crsplratlon , and I think that perspiration nd ventilation sometimes mean almost the amo thing. Now It stands to reason if heso pores nro shut up with dust or any thcr kind of matter that a boy's skin can- lot bo healthy , and consequently the skin esplratlon and the skin perspiration will all to bo absolutely perfect , and the boy , y Just so much , fall of having a healthy kin. I have known so many boys with oughness on their arms and pimples on heir legs , and spots on their faces , and , do ou know , my dear George , this Is solely iccauso they hnvo not washed themselves ften enough nnd thoroughly enough ? Now , I do not believe Hint a human being s llko a fish. If the Lord had meant use o bo half the tlmo in a bath tub ho would ave fitted us with scales so that there vould bo a certain amount of enjoyment iiit of the scrubbing , but I am perfectly ertatn tha { every human being is meant o bo absolutely clean , and' ' so I would nd- Ise each boy of your age , 7 , to put him- elt Into the bath tub nt least twice a week .nd take a comfortable scrubbing with good oap from head to heels. It it Is sum mer time , in addition to this very com- ortable scrubbing by all means take a swim n the nearest water "that "you have , for hen you will get the best possible exercise of the muscles- the same tlmo that you are washing the dust out of the pores of the kin. Second. Doys have to bo taught a llttlo ibout breathing. They are so apt to keep heir mouths open nnd breathe the cold or ho hot nlr straight Into the lungs. You nust remember that perfect health Is in consistent with the lung condition due to "mpurltles such as would easily reach It : hrough the mouth. So , whenever you are awake remember to throw your shoulders wcl back , your lips well together and take n deep breaths through the nose. Dy so Jolng you will expand your chest and be much stronger and much healthier than n follow who would take all the air ho can get and all that dirt that is with it right nto the mouth and Into the lungs. Then , third : I have gone from the skin to the lungs , nnd the next point , which I am quite sure will interest you very much , s In regard to your diet. If you want to bo a strong man , If you want to be a well nnn and no man is strong who Is not well then you must bo careful to regulate your Hot so that with the least possible amount of food you get the greatest amount of nour- shmcnt. A great many boys whom I have ; nown have thought that If they ; row fat they grow strong. - This s absolutely untrue. All athletes , vho have not on unnecessary ounce of flesh , are the people who make success in tennis. In base ball and In rowing matches. Therefore I would advise all boys who want to bo really strong men to ovoid candles , sugar , syrup , batter cakes and llvo on good , wholesome brown bread and butter , cracked wheat and oatmeal , plenty of vegetables and good , wholesome meat ; and concerning this meat business , In my opinion no boy should cat meat more than once a day. Take at one meal all you want with the usual vegetables and then for the morning meal and the evening meal try to have a very light diet. The best workers are not always the heaviest eaters , nnd many a tlmo when I go to see children and am told that they have an Immense appetite and yet are not strong and require a dose of medicine , I realize that the trouble has been lliat the appetite Is an unnatural affair and is due to nervousness or to that which children most despise to talk about , "worms. " Fourth , and last : I wish to urge upon every boy greatest attention to the devel opment of the muscles of the thorax , or to put It in plain English , the chest. Five minutes exerclso with a "Whltely" mornIng - Ing and night will do more to develop the chest power and the arm power of a boy than all the gymnastics that are practice ! In a public school , and then the rowing movement will develop the hips and abdo men and with the feet against the rest the muscles of the calf and leg will be Htreugthcnd. All this is suggested to a boy who has no the usual opportunities of out of door life but if certain circumstances favor , by al means Invest In a bicycle and ride will : reason morning and afternoon , but do no bend yourself so that you look llko an anl mal going on four legs and do not ride EC long that you will be utterly exhausted a the close of the hour devoted to your out Ing. If you are where there Is any water have a boat ; If you can afford a horse , g ( hunting ; If you have a garden , dig am plant vegetables and flowers and care fo them , and so far as in you lies make fo yourself a strong , healthy , vigorous body t ( sustain the strong , healthy , vigorous sou which I sincerely hope will bo yours fo always. JULIA HOLMES SMITH , M. D. A Grain ( if Wheat. My first recollection of this world was o being wrapped In a. soft , green blanket , am rocked gently by the wind. As I grew olde I became curious to see what the world wa like , and peeped through the folds of m : blanket , l&iere were queer little noises whlc came from a lot of people Just like myseli only older. They were swinging In the wind and nod ding their heads and whispering softly. Soon I found I was swinging back am forth too. As I grew older I grew bolde and came further out of my blanket , whlc wai turning yellow. I soon became ac qualnted with my neighbors and began t awing and neil as they did. Wo had many pleasant days together , some times seeing It we could bend and touch eac other , and after each trial rebound with little whistle , which is the way we expres our delight , But some days the sun seemd to object t our play , and would make us droop an wither , till a. centle shower would cwno an Ity u , and soon we would be more full of fo and hope than ever. So the happy weeks passed , till ono day vo heard n sound which our older sisters old us was a reaper. We were full of curl- slty and twisted and tossed our heads to et a glimpse of htm.

" But Diddle Come Dee wished the world ti see , And so went to the City of Research , A here each one breathes nnd eats by rule And every third house Is a great big school And every second one , a church. \nt\ \ all of the people there , that he met , To him , looked mlRhty funny , For when they walked , they always ran ; Vnd all they talked about , to a man , Was of something they culled money. Vnd when they planned to have some fun They called the thlnjr n rout ; rhey always turned their elbows In , And seemed to think It was a. sin If their toes did not turn out. 'They are Just ns bad , " said Diddle Comi Dee , "As they ore In Come-by Chance , [ "here must be a land half way between , Where all things strike a happy mean , I can see that at a glance. " So he turned nbout his toes to retrace , Ana early , one bright , fine day. le came to the city of Never-Shlrk Where all could play and all would work , And he said , 'Mlfght here I'll stay.
