"Ami what about the necessary dis tinctions lu life?" some one may ask. "As a result of your simplifications are you not going to destroy that sense of the difference between men which must be maintained if society exists at nil?" I have no mind to suppress distinc tions and differences, but I think that what distinguishes a man Is not found In his social rank, his occupation, his dress or his fortune, but solely In him self. More than any other, our own uge has pricked the vain bubble of purely outward greatness. To be somebody at present it does not suiUce to wear the mantle of an emperor or n royal crown. What honor is there In wield ing power through gold lace, a coat of arms or a ribbon? Not that visible 6lgas are to be despised they have their meaning and use—but 011 condi tion that they cover something and not a vacuum. The moment they cease to stand for realities they become useless and dangerous. The only true distinc tion Is superior worth. If you would have social rank duly respected you jnust begin by being worthy of the rank that is your own; otherwise you help to bring it Into hatred and con tempt. It is, unhappily, too true.that respect Is diminishing among us, and It certainly is not from a luck of lines drawn round t»ioso who wish to be re spected. The root of the evil la In the mistaken idea that high station ex empts him who holds it from observing the common obligations of life. As wo rise we believe that we free ourselves from the law, forgetting that the spirit of obedience and humility should grow with our possessions and power. So It comes about that those who demand the most homage make the least effort to merit the homage they dcmnud. This Is why respect is diminishing. The sole distinction necessary Is the wish to become better. The man who strives to he better becomes more humble, more approachable, more friendly even with those who owe him allegiance, but as lie gains by being better known he loses nothing In dis tinction, and he reaps the more respect In that he has sown the less pride. CHAPTER XIII. THE EDUCATION FOB SIMPLICITY. TIIE simple life being above all else the product of a dlEOction of mind, it Is natural that edu cation should have much to do with It. In general, but two methods of rearing children are practiced. The first Is to bring them up for ourselves, the second to bring them up for them selves. In the first case the child is looked upon as a complement of the parents; he is part of their property, occupies a place among their possessions. Some times this piace is the highest, espe cially when the parents value the life of the afTectlons. Again, where ma terial interests rule, the child holds second, third or even the last place. In any case be is a nobody. While-he Is young he gravitates round his par ents, not only by obedience, which is right, but by the subordination of all his originality, all his being. As he grows older this subordination be comes a veritable confiscation, extend ing to his ideas, bis feelings, every thing. Ills minority becomes perpet ual. Instead of slowly evolving into Independence the man advances into slavery. He Is what he is permitted to be, what his father's business, re ligious beliefs, political opinions or aesthetic tastes require him to be. He will think, speak, act and marry ac cording to the understanding and lim its of the paternal absolutism. This family tyranny may be exercised by people with no strength of character. It is only necessary for them to be convinced thnt good order requires the child to be the property of the parents. In default of mental force, they pos sess themselves of him by other means —by sighs, .supplications or base se ductions. If they cannot fetter him they snare his feet in trups. But that he should live in them, through them, for them, is the only thing admissible. Education of this sort is not the practice of families only, but also of great social organizations whose chief educational function consists in putting n strong hnud on every newcomer, lu order to lit him, in the most Iron bound fashion, into existing forms. It is the attenuation, pulverization and assimilation of the Individual in a so cial body, be it theocratic, communis tic or simply bureaucratic und routl nary. Booked at from without, a like system seems the Ideal of simplicity In education. Its processes, in fact, are absolutely simplistic, and if a man were not somebody, if lie were only a sample of the race, this would be the i>erfoct education. As all wild beasts, all fish and insects of the same genus and species have the same mark ings, so we should all be identical, having the same tastes, the same lan guage, the same beliefs, the same tend encies. Rut man Is not simply a specimen of the race, and for that rea son this sort of education is far from [lie Simple Life CHARLES WAGNER Tri'slcica ircm (He French by Mary Louise flendee Copyright. 1901. by McClure. PhillKy» t- Co. being simple in its results. .Men so vary from one another that number less methods have to he invented to suppress, stupefy and extinguish in dividual thought. And one never ar rives at it then hut in part,a fact which Is continually deranging everything. At each moment, by some fissure. Komo interior force of Initiative is making a violent way to the light, pro ducing explosions, upheavals, alj sorts of grave disorders. And where there are no outward manifestations the evil lies dormant; heneath apparent order ore hidden dumb revolt, tlaws made by an abnormal existence, apathy, death. Ttie system is evil which produces such fruit, and, however simple it may appear, in reality It brings forth till possible complications. The other system is the extreme op posite, that of bringing up children for themselves. The roles are reversed; the parents are there for the clillil. No •Doner is he born than he becomes the center. White headed grandfather and stalwart father how before these curls. Ills lisping Is their law. A sign from him sutHoes. If lie cries In the night no fatigue is of account; the whole household must ho roused. The new comer is not long In discovering his omnipotence, nnd lief ore lie can walk he is drunken with It. As he grows older nil this deepens and broadens, l'n rents, grandparents, servants, teach ers, everybody is at his command, lie accepts the homage and even the im molation of ills neighbor; he treuts like a rebellious subject any one who does not step out of his pntli. There is only himself. lie Is the unique, the perfect, the Infallible. Too late It Is perceived that all this has been evolving a mas ter, anil what a master! Forgetful of sacrifices, without respect, even pity. He no longer has any regard for those to whom he owes everything, and he goes through life without law or check. This education, too, has Its social counterpart. It flourishes wherever the past does not count, where history l>e glns with the living, where there Is no tradition, no discipline, no reverence; where those who know the least make the most noise; where those who stand for public order are alarmed by every chance coiner whose power lies 111 bis making a great outcry and respecting nothing. It Insures the reign of transi tory passion, tlie triumph of the infe rior will. I compare those two educa tions—one the exaltation of the envi ronment, the other the tyranny of the new—nnd I find them equally baneful. But the most disastrous of all is the combination of the two, which pro duces human beings half automatons, half despots, forever vacillating be tween the spirit of a sheep anil the spirit of revolt or domination. Children should he educated neither for themselves nor for their parents, for man Is no more designed to be a personage tliun a specimen. They should be educated for life. The aim of their education Is to nld tliom to be come active members of humanity, brotherly forces, free servants of the civil organization. To follow a method of educatiou Inspired by any other principle Is to complicate life, deform It, sow the seeds of all disorders. When we would sum up In a phrase the destiny of the child the word "fu ture" springs to our lips. The child Is the future. This word says all—the sufferings of the past, t'lie stress of to day, hope. Rut when the education of the child begins he is Incapable of es timating the reach of this word, for he is held by impressions of the pres ent. Who, then, shall give him the first enlightenment and put him in the way he should go? The parents, the teachers. And with very little reflec tion they perceive that their work does not Interest simply themselves and the child, but that they represent and ad minister Impersonal powers and inter ests. The child should continually ap pear to them as a future citizen. With this ruling idea they will take thought for two things that complement each other —for the initial and personal force which is germinating in the child and for the social destination of this force. At no moment of their direction over him can they forget that this lit tle being confided to their care must become himself and a brother. These two conditions, far from excluding each other, never exist apart. It is im possible to be brotherly, to love, to give oneself, unless one is master of him self; and, reciprocally, none can possess himself, comprehend his own individ ual being, until lie has first made his way through the outward accidents of bis existence down to the profound springs of life where man feels himself one with other men in all that Is most intimately his own. To aid a child to become himself and a brother It is necessary to protect him against the violent and destructive action of the forces of disorder. These forces are exterior and interior. Every child is menaced from without not only by material dangers, but by the meddlesomeness of alien wills, and from within by an exaggerated idea of his own personality and all the fan cies it breeds. There is a great out ward danger which may come from the abuse of power in educators. The right of might finds itself a place In ed ucation with extreme facility. To ed ucate another one must have renounced this right—that is to say, made abne gation of the Inferior sentiment of per sonal importance, which transforms us into the enemies of others, even of our own children. Our authority is benefi cent only when it is inspired by one higher than our own. In this case it is not only salutary, but also indis pensable, and becomes iu its turn the best guarantee against the greater per il which threatens the child from with in—that of exaggerating his own im portance. At the beginning of life the vividness of personal Impressions is so great that to establish an equilibrium they must lie submitted to the gentle lufluenco of a calm and superior will. The true quality of the office of edu cator is to represent this will to the child in a manner as continuous and as disinterested as possible. Educators, then, stand for all that is to be re spected in the world. They give to the child impressions of that which pre cedes it, outruns it. envelops it, but they do not crust It. On the contrary their will und all the influence they transmit become elements nutritiTe of Its native energy. Such use of au thority as this cultivates that fruitful obedience out of which free souls are born. The purely personal authority of parents, piasters and Institutions is (•■ tin- chlM like ttio brushwood lif t c.ltll wilii'll tin* \ •>: Itg I ' I 111 u il!n-r-i a.:.1 .!!.•» I1I•*■!•'iti 1 : •,;! .lV.\ the authority "f n li. in who ha- first sub mined hiiu-ejf to the time li' ii in ! realities before w 11i«'li In- wishes the individual fancy of the child t'> hotti', toM-mbles jiiii c anil luminous air.

Thus arises respect, wliieii Is the faculty of comvlviiig something greater than ourselves-respect, wliieii broadens us and frees us by making us more modest. This is the law of edu cation for simplicity. It may lie sum med up in these words: To make free and reverential men. who shall he in dividual and fraternal. I.et us draw from this principle some practical applications. From the very' fact that the child Is the future lie must be linked to the past by piety. We owo It to lilin to clotlie tradition in the forms most prac tical and most fit to create a deep im pression; whence the exceptional place that should In' given in education to the undents, to the cult of remembrance of the past and by extension to the history of the domestic roof tree. Above nil do we fulfill a duty toward our chil dren when we give tin* place of honor to the grandparents. Nothing speaks to a child with so much force or so well develops his modesty as to see Ids father nnd mother on all occasions pre serve toward an old grandfather, often lutlrm, an attitude of respect. It Is a perpetual object lesson that Is Irresist ible. That It may have Its full force It Is necessary for a tacit understanding to obtain among all the grownup mem bers of the family. To the child's eyes they must all be in league, held to mu tual respect nnd understanding, under penalty of compromising their educa tional authority, nud In their number must be counted the servants. Serv ants nre big people, nnd the same sen timent of respect Is injured In the child's disregard of them as In his dis regard of lils father or grandfather. The moment lie addresses an impolite or arrogant word to a person older titan himself he strays from the path that a child ought never to quit, nnd If only occasionally the parents neglect to point this out they will soon perceive by his conduct toward themselves that the enemy has found entrance to his heart. We mistake if we think that a child 4s naturally alien to respect, basiug tills opinion on the very numerous examples of Irreverence which he offers 11s. Re speet is for the child n fundamental need. His moral being feeds 011 it. The child aspires confusedly to revere and admire something, but when advan tage is not taken of this aspiration It gets corrupted or lost. By our lack of cohesion and mutual deference we, the grownups, discredit dally In the child's eyes our own cause and that of'every tliing worthy of respect. We Inoculate In him a had spirit whose effects then turn against us. This pitiful truth nowhere nppears with more force than In the relations between masters and servants as we have made them. Our social errors, our want of simplicity and kindness, all fall back upon the heads of our chil dren. There are certainly few people of the middle classes who understand that It is better to part with many thousands of dollars than to lead their children to lose respect for servants, who represent In our households the humble, yet nothing is truor. Main tain as strictly as you will conventions and distances, that demarcation of so cial frontiers which permits each one to remain In his place and to observe the law of differences—that is a good thing, I am persuaded—but on condi tion of never forgetting that those who serve us are men and women like our selves. You require of your domestics certain formulas of speech and certain attitudes, outward evidence of the re spect they owe you. Do you also tcacb your children and use yourselves man ners toward your servants which show them that you respect their dignity at Individuals as you desire them to re spect you? nere we have continually In our homes an excellent ground for experiment In the practice of that mu tual respect which Is one of the essen tial conditions of social sanity. I fear we profit by It too little. We do not fall to exact respect, but we full to give It. So It Is most frequently the case that we get only hypocrisy and this supplementary result, all unexpected— the cultivation of pride In our children. These two factors combined heap up great difficulties for that future which we ought to be safeguarding. I am right, then, In saying that the day when by your own practices yon have brought about the lessening of respect In your children you have Buffered a sensible loss. Why should I not suy it? It seems to me that the greater part of us labor for this loss. On all sides, in almost every social rank, I notice thnt a pretty bad spirit is fostered in children, a spir it of reciprocal contempt. Hero those who have calloused hauds and worklug clothes are disdained; there It Is all who do not wear blue Jeuus. Children educated In this spirit make sad fellow citizens. There Is In all this the want of that simplicity which makes It pos •ble for men of good Intentions, of lowever diverse social standing, to col laborate without any friction arising from the conventional dlstanco that separates them. If the spirit of caste causes the loss of respect, partisanship, of whatever sort. Is quite as productive of it In certain quarters children are brought pp in such fashion that they respect but one country—their own; one sys tem of government—that of their par ents and musters; one religion—that Which they have been taught Hoes any one suppose that in this way men can be shaped who shall respect coun try, religion and law? Is this a proper respect—this respect which docs not extend beyond what touches and be longs to ourselves? Strange blindness of cliques and coteries, which arro gate to themselves with so much in genuous complacence the title of schools of respect, and which, out side themselves, respect nothing. In reality they teach, "Country, religion, law—we are all these!" Such teaching fosters fanaticism, ahd if fanaticism is not the sole antisocial ferment it is sure ly one of the worst and most energetic. If simplicity of heart is an essential condition of respect, simplicity of life is its best school. Whatever be the state of your fortune, avoid everything which could make your children think themselves more or better than others.

If the baby has drained her vitality; if its care is a tax; if. ia short, the tiaby is a burden instead of a blessing, how can she euioy It? She loves it, but she cannot feed it. She yearns for it, but has not the strength to fondle it. There is nothing more beautiful in the world than a healthy mother ami her healthy child. The madonna is the highest reach of human art. In the serene strength which art gives to the typical mother and child there is distinct denial of suffering ami weakness as a necessity of motherhood. But how few women are there to whom motherhood is naturally an abiding joy. In how many cases a woman dates her loss of health from the birth of her child ! To all such suffering women Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription comes as a veritable god-send. It prepares the mother for er hour of trial, tramjuilizes her nerves, encourages her appetite, and brings her restful sleep. It makes the baby's ad vent practically painless, and gives the mother abundant strength to nurse and nourish her child. Every claim made for "Favorite Pre scription " is supnorteil by the testimon ials of wives an<f mothers, thousands iu numtier, and covering in their several experiences the whole range of womanly suffering. In a great number of cases after the utter failure of all doctors and medicines, I)r. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription, tried as a last resort, has ef fected a perfect and permanent cure. Sick women are invited to consult I)r. Pierce by letter fret. All womanly con fidences held under the seal of strict professional privacy. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. There is no alcohol in " Favorite Pre scription" and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine, and all other narcotics.
