Burma Marriages.

In Burma marriages are exceedingly
simple; there is no display and no ex.
element. The bride, though, not the
bridegroom, is the wooing spirit. When
Burmese beauty spies a youth with
whom she believes she can be happy,
she gives him piece of candy. If he
takes it and eats it, the matter is set
tied, and the two are pronounced man
and wife without any more formality,
But if the youths heart is otherwise
engaged he refuses the candy, and the
woman has to be content with that. =

FROM GUNS TO RAzORs.

Fnear Morris avenue. that has been used for several days as a shooting gallery, was yesterday turned into a barber shop. This speaks. well for the men of Bir- mingham, who patronize barber shops, but not shooting galleries. They prefer
 to keep clean rather than become experts with the gun. They prefer curling irons
 to shooting irons. This will surprise those
 people at a distance. who imagine that
 Birmingham men care more for guns
 than razors.

THE HERBART CLUB.

Holds an Interesting Meeting-Prof. AL
 good Reads an Able Paper
 At the meeting of the Herbart club last night Prof. R. V. Algood, superin- tendent of the Avondale public schools, read a paper on Limitation in Children" He spoke of the importance of the study of children; not so much for the pur- pose of obtaining psychological data. as for entering more alphabetically into their thoughts and feelings, thus enabling the teacher to lead them more intelli- gently. Imitation is strong in childhood in adult life too, for that matter. We are all creatures of imitation. We simu- late others in attitude, walk, converse tipn and dress. We are all servants of fashion. &s Ss4s
 The human infant begins life the most helpless of animals, but his life is longer than most lower animals and his possi- bilties are infinitely greater Many of his requirements in early life are made through imitation of his elders. The lit- tie boy whose father owns a, livery sta ble plays at driving horses, and girls invariably initiate their mothers in their household duties. After Buffalo Bill has been in town every boy is, practicing with his lasso, and every circus furnishes new ideas towards which the boys strive. There are epidemics of stilt-walking, tops, marbles, mumble-peg and wearing of motto buttons. Since so much of a childs early life is made up of imita- tion, due recognition must be made of this fact in education. The character of the teacher oft times is more potent than all the formal work of the school in shap- ing the character of children. It is a we'll known fact that children. are fond of playing school and the child who has been chosen for a teacher, or who has installed himself, usually displays the oJ,o ofo ric af, ', fc xr1,f fao oI, nn we take enough account of imitation in our courses of study? There is much food for thought along this line and 1t is a fruitful field for observation and study. 3u.sxl- <. lf.lsIii3t.n
 Dr. Phillips thought that a. distinction should be made between imitation and adaptation. Much of what passes for imitation is not imitation at all, but rath- CT the adaptation of one's self to ones surroundings in conformity to custom. Imitation may be conscious or uncon- scious, but it must be striving after the attainment of some particular ideal. Conformity to fashion is not altogether imitation. It may be due to the desire to avoid becoming conspicuous by non- conformity to usage. ilai es l
 in the discussion, presenting other phases
 The next meeting of the club will be Saturday. January 30. All interested in educational topics are invited to attend. Dr. J. M. Rice,s recent article in the Fora um will be the topic for consideration. The discussion will be opened by Prof. Chas A. Browp.es s5 ~ st haSt -s

sTRA1GHTENING THE TRACK.

One of the worst places on the Balti- more and Ohio for curves has been be- tween Tabbs station and Meyers Hole, a few miles west of Harper's Ferry. Re- gently, however, the company has ap- propriated $S0,000 to straighten the track at this point. The present grade is & per cent, and the maximum curvature degrees, with number of reversions. A new line has been run with a grade Of 10 feet per mile and a maximum curya- ture of degrees with long tahgents. The contractors have already begun the work but 1t will take several months yet to com plete it. In grading, about 12O000 cubic yards of material will be removed, and the arch culvert at Myers Hole will have to be extended with iron pipe. The ma terial to be removed consists of clay and limetsone rock in pockets and small ridges
 President E. M Ingalls,, of the Big Four and C. & O., was recently quoted in a Cincinnati paper as stating that he be- lieved that the increase of business on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad was due entirely to legitimate methods and to the hustling abilities of the agents of the traffic department.
