In the course of her remarks the speaker called attention at-tention to the various typos found among children and the simple remedies reme-dies that can be used to correct the defects found in and .particular to each one. The nervous child can be corrected of its nervousness by plenty of treBh air day and night, lots of sunshine, sun-shine, good, wholesome food and rest. Plenty of outdoor o.erciso was recommended rec-ommended for over-active children, and stress was laid upon tho fact that stops should Lo taken to prevent the mental development from getting ahead of the physical. The latter Is first necessary to the child so that it can bear the groat mental strain it is called upon to sustain in its real-ization real-ization of nature and prmary education. educa-tion. For the oversensitive child Miss Lamkln recommended that no particular particu-lar attention should be called to it or its defects, but by gentle methods gradually induco It to overcome Its sunersen6itiveness. The conceited child the product or overfond parents Is a bard problem and a firm but kindly rulo is the best remedy for him. Concluding her remarks, Miss Lamkln Lam-kln asserted that there wprc no bad boys n tho world. They might bo unruly and wild, but there were nono who were really vicious at .heart A system of kind treatment and con Btant occupation soon brings them back Into the paths of rectitude.

Make a companion of him. be lieve in him and trust him Prof. Howell's Talk. Longfellow was considered by Prof. Howell at his afternoon round table talk. Ho compared the great American Ameri-can poot with Poe, and claimed that the author of "Hiawatha" and "Evangeline"' "Evan-geline"' was a greater poet than Poe of "Tho Raven" fame. He described 'Longfellow as the poet of all ages and that lie had sung for tho child, the youth, the mature and tho aged. He said that Longfellow Longfel-low had endeared himself to the world b the wooing voice he used in all his compositions. Prof. Tyler gave another talk on "Evolution," taking another step towards to-wards the creation of man. By wpeclal request the Hyde orchestra orches-tra gave another concert at 7 o'clock and tho famous Chautauqua band was again heard in a splendid repertoire. Crane on "Ghosto." From the beginning of his lecture last evening at Chautauqua park until un-til its close. Dr. Frank Crane of Chi-cago Chi-cago kopt his large audience convulBed with laughter by his humorous similes and questions, but with all the funny side of his lecture apart, ho Injected here and thero during some porlod of his lecturo some sharp and self-evident truisms that struck homo deeply In tho hearts nnd minds of his hearers. "The ghosts of childhood," said Ur Crano, "wero harmless, yet they struck terror into the vouthful minds of the child, and continued to do so through countless generations until science, with Us phllistlne pragmatism robbed childhood of its hobgobUlns and bugabooB It taught tho child that darknoss was a chemical change in the condition of tho atmosphere, and that the things it used to see In the dark wero creutures of the imagination, im-agination, aud as It became moro and more enlightened and educated it became be-came greatly disillusioned. "Throughout the ages ghosts have I always been before the eyes of tho pcoplo; tho .lows saw th.o pjllac o( firo and the burniug bush; they saw7r these things wfth 'thdlr young eyes. God was represented to them In these 'ghosts,' and those people sorved God.' j In speaking about earthquakes, Mr. I Crane, recalling to mind the recent j disturbance In Sicily, said thnt scion- I lists "discovered" the reason for the I disturbance and assign the cause to j the failing and givlng'nvvay of certain I stratas of the earth Prior to this I decision the aucicnt peoples of thp I earth said, whenever an earthquake I occurred In Sicily, that ,many ages j ago the giants had aterrl'ffc war tyfth j tho gods nnd the giants "got licked." I One of the giants, in running away, I fell and one of the gods, seizing a II chunk of rock and a sea of mud, II throw It on the prostrate colossus and II mudo him a prisoner entombed for II eternity, and that ever afterwards, II when he turned over, ho caused the I earth to quake and when be snored to II belch forth volcanic fire. This idea II was a "ghost" of the paBt. II Dr. Crane caused considerable laugh- II ler when ho said that the women wero I more spnsihle in their dross than II men, whom he said -fitlll cling to the II "ghosts' of the past In matters of their wearing apparel. Taking tho I buttons on the sleeves of a male II coat, he asked, what use they were II for He said that In years gono by II that perhapb they were used to attach I! gauntlets to, or perhaps a still moro I potent reason In olden times, to pre- II vent soldlors from using their coat II cuffs as pocket handkerchiefs Now- 11 adays they were neither useful or II ornamental, but because of the II "ghost" Idea of tho past, they still ere used. Perhaps they had a real II reason for existing then, but they did II not hae now. There were other ar- II tlclcs of men's apparel that were II useful once, but tho "ghost" of a dead II reuson would not let man abandon II their use II He said the "ghosts of a dead rea- jl son" were not true civilization or ra II tlonal, that they move us at will like puppets with arms, but uo lie, In all II matters pertaining to religion, Htera lure, art, education, and business and II even in the small capillary affairs or II lire. II "There is no intelligent cause," said he, "for the ghosts of dead reason, I Just as thero is no excuse for tho uao (; of certain articles of men's apparel " He stated that even in business the ghosts of dead reason" existed. Citing as an Illustration, the width of the btandard gauge used by all the railroads rail-roads of the world, which Is four feet eight and a half inches. Asking the cause for this width, Dr. Crane queriod his audieuce for an answer Replying himself, he stated that in tho inception incep-tion of railroading, the tracks wore made originally for a one-horse cart and the space was mado width enough to allow the animal pulling same plenty of space. Ho claimed that if the width were ten feet greater speed could be obtained and travel made more comfortable, but In the hurly-burlv of business the railroad men still cling to the "ghost of a dead reason"' a doad horse. In the schools, the .speaker claimed, wero still to be found "ghosts" of tho past, for instance, the study of Latin and mathematics. He told of the absurdity ab-surdity of teaching youug girls Latin and trignometrj nnd negloctlng to teach them anything about lho temple of their soul Ho gave the reason for (he use of these studies in schools todny, by saying say-ing that several hundred years ago, Latin was tho only language that had a grammar and mathematics tho only science taught anil known. No scholar schol-ar of those" days could couut himself such unless he "Had mastered these two branches, of study Dr Crane gave a finelv word-painted picture of War In all Its glory, but strongly condemned it as a relic of Julius Caesar and his Ideas of impc rinlism Defining the latter, he Bald that It was a condition where ono nation na-tion wanted world-wide supremacy and rule over all others by "licking" them and keeping! themstayed "licked." He favored the federation of nations, which meant separate governments attending at-tending each strlcMy to it own Inter-nal Inter-nal affairs, while the general welfaro and interests of nil were looked after by delegates from each assembled In a representative body. He claimed that the Idea of the United Statos government was he best In tho world This would save the billions of doN lars now used to maintain armies and navieB, and which are a severe tax on tho people. ,Hc said that war and its attendants, the military and naval forces, wore "gnosis of a dead reason" and had no earthly right to exist Concluding, Dr. Crane paid his respects re-spects to the various creeds and sects of Christianity. Ho said they had no reason to exist as they did, perhaps at one tlmo they had, but they did not now. lie confessed ho belonged to the church of the greatest eommon divisor di-visor tho church of Jesus Christ, He said tha the Christians of today wero like the sistors of the fabled story of CIndorella They Invited distinguished guests to their banquet table, but had no nso for the soul, which he likened to Cinderella But that when tho Prince of Pcaco comes "he will "t seek the distinguished guests, but . 11 search for Cinderella tho soul "Jesus was an Individuality," said Dr. Crane. "He was not an lnstltu-tionallBl lnstltu-tionallBl He knows His sheep by name and not by croeds or sects, I want to go to His heaven, where they wear no uniforms, do not keep slep, live in no block housos, no bishopsnothing bish-opsnothing but Himself, There's where I want to go."
