Dr.. Nathan Oppenheim writes in
Babyhend: Our usual method Of re-
buking and of Furnishing a child for
falsehood is really as illogical as re-
proof for inability to draw, to play Il
musical instrument, to learn handwrit-
ing at a glance. A child should be
blamed for lying only after tried and
proved ability to recognize, discrimin-
ate. and tell the truth; in addition, only
after it has been definitely decided
that his, physical and mental conditions
are normal; after we feel sure that his
environment has been so normal,
sweet. and clear that every predis-
posing cause from this side has been
removed; after we have eliminated all
facts which could possibly act in the
way Of making subjective impress
sions. of whatever intensity, which
might lead the child 10 a misappre-

ICE YACHTING.
sIoST EXHlLARATING OF ALL
WINTER SPORTS.
Travelling at the Rate Of Nile q
1Iii,ute-The Very Apotheosis
of 1Iotion-Constructi
of Ice Yachts.

Ewho has s.no5 not been @ aiss ice "a yacht, h1.
q new sensation to expert
ence-something to live for.
To ride on the wings of the wind at o
rate that sets one dizzy, SO great is Its
speed, and yet to ride, or rather to
glide without jolt or jar, but with
a frictionless smoothness as easy as a
birds flight, is the very apotheosis Of
motion. Man has invented nothing to
beat this; the exhilaration OF ride in
the cab of a cannon-ball locomotive,
the zest of sitting behind team of
record-holding trotters, the keener
joys of gallop 'cross country, the de-
lights that free sheet and flowing
wind bring to sailormen, must all
yield to the sense of intoxication con.
tained in the flight of the ice boat.
Like the house in Whyte Melville's
poem, the ice yacht is 'not much to
look at, but good 'un to CO." Adotn
it and fix 1t up as you will, lis to the
sailing yacht as the skeleton is to the
body-a mere framework. 1t is as

A GLIMPSE OF CARACAS.
WHAT A CORRESPONDENT SAW IN
VENEZUELA'S CAPITAL.

Nearly Everybody Goes Armed
A Well-Managed Hospital-Tiny
Hack Horses-The "Dog Boy"
"OMPARATIVELY few of the
I men here ever venture into the
" street unarmed, writes Cara
cas- correspondent of the New
York Herald. There are laws pro-
hibiting the carrying of concealed
weapons, but they are never observed.
One of the professors in the university
here assures me that he is convinced
that every one of the students who
attends his lectures has revolver in
his hip pocket. Weapons are often
worn as much for ornaments as for
protection or aggression. The cabal-
lero with silver spurs and gay trap
pings who prances about on a frisky
mule or Peruvian horse is not fully
equipped without brace of revolvers.
The humber fellows who trudge the
country lanes afoot or on burros'
backs take special pride in the knives
they carry in fancy sbeaths at their
waists, and which are equally avail
able for cutting food or enemies. The
far famed machete is so long that the
most convenient way to carry 1t is IN
the hand, 1t is the most terrible
weapon in war and is used for every
possible purpose in times OF peace,
opening virgin forests, cutting down
trees, digging and building.
Human life is held very cheap in
Venezuela, except by the law of the
land in dealing with murderers. There
is no capital punishment here, and
man who is caught red-handed in
crime knows that the heaviest
sentence that could be imposed on
him is ten years Imprisonment. The
worst cases, I am told, are sent to
prison in the marshy districts near
the western frontier, where the man
who survives his term is aphenomenon,
and where two years is as much as
most men can endure. Stabbing and
shooting ARRAYS are very common and
rarely receive more attention than
half dozen lines in the local papers,
in which sympathy is expressed for
the relatives of the deceased.
The proportion of men that one
secs in the streets of Caracas who are
minus an arm or leg is greater by
far than it was in the United States at
the close of the Civil War. Com
paratively few of the cripples here
were manned in battle during the
revolutions, most of them having been
hurt in private brawls.
The Vargas Hospital. in Caracas, is
large institution, admirably located
on hillside and excellently managed.

A learned German has calculated
the amount of gold which David and
Solomon fetched from Ophir, that
mysterious land of fabulous treasure,
for the adornment of the temple at
Jerusalem. David got 5000 kikkars
and Solomon $40 kikkars; total 3540
kikkars, or 160,S04 kilogranmes of
gold, representing a value of $780,
600, With equal learnedness the
same authority has figured out that
"Ophir" signifies "The Land of the
South."

that, assuming the heart to beat sixty
