Royal Baking Powder leavens the food perfectly
by it's own inherent power without changing or
impairing any of the elements of the flour.
Thus the hot-breads, hot-rolls and mullins, and
the delicious hot griddle-cakes raised by the Royal
Baking Powder are wholesome and digestible, and
may be eaten without distress, even by persons of
delicate digestion.

NO LONGER A PROBLEM.
Woman is Neither. Superior Inferior Nor
Equal 70 Man, But is All of Them.

DR.. Chamberlain spoke on "Civiliza-
ton in the goth century and onward"
and said in substance; AS to the physi-
cal condition of man. little can be said
Of his future Ten thousand years ago,
he was almost the same as today and
10000 years from now he will be the
same There is sign, however, that in
centuries to come there may be a
change. 1t is noticed by anatomists that
the suture on the frontal bone of the
skull tends to remain open. This means
that the brain will be given an oppor-
tunity to grow more. In the higher
classes Of men it remains open longer
than in the lower races. 1t points that
In the years to come there Is larger
brain to come. The other changes are
only class changes that are not at all
permanent.
But in other stages of mankind the
change VIII be more marked. The con-
quest of the earth by man is about over.
He has conquered the air, the water,
the darkness and the earth. The earth
is beginning to become the home OF man
and not his prison.
The conquest of man Is nearly over.
War has existed for all time but war
Is nearly ended and man is tending to
the same end Of homeike dwelling with

are going to do, but it is certain that
it will be something violent. The
French writer, Alfred de Moussait, was
of this type.
1t is a mark of degeneracy. 1t is
represented by precocity, in insubord-
nation, in irresoluteness, lack OF ap-
plication to sustained work.
This fills out the types of character
laid down at the start but we might
take up characteristics pertaining 10
races and localities. These differences
are here superficial, however, and are
Of but little consequence.
Just as there are changes in the fun-
damental types of character, there are
changes in the more plastic forms. They
are changes at the middle level, con-
versions for example.
There are people in when there are
contradictory characters. These are not
hypocritical people. The true hypocrite
is not pious because he has any feel
ing In the matter. This type is of those
in whom there is a conflict. He Is often
called hypocrite but he is not He is
as sincere in his religion as In his lust.
He is man who lacks self restraint.
A mans character consists of mass
of more or less fixed habits of action,
combined with a hereditary tempera-
ment There is growth in character. The
different types of character develop
from small differences at the first. Ac-
cident may cause man to develop, but
1t Will not cause him to develop where
there are no seeds.
Granted that character can be al
tered, should it be trained in all the
directions or in the line where the ten
dency seems to lie? We could change
the basis of characters if we knew how.
Nature has hewed us in the rough and
1t lies with us what will result. The
formation of character Is the forma-
tion of habit.
All the maxims of habit apply in the
formation of character. 1t is rare that
we can begin with a perfectly clean
slate and the question arises, how are
we to change old habits? Every teach
err attempts to establish ideals and to
make the man love them and that gives
him emotion. Once started, the thing
works In cumulative fashion If the idea
is kept up. Doing something for other
people will develop character best.

least legible that occur most frequently.
The broad and long letters are good,
the short letters bad. The form of type
known to printers as "old style" are
easy to read. Letters that are COM
pressed from side to side are harder to
read than those compressed vertically.
The lines forming the individual letters
are of some Importance. Heavy lines
are easier to read than the light lines
We read however, not by the letters.
but by the general CONGREGATIONS The
first few consonants are of most impor-
'tance. We strike the first part of the
word first, and it is usually the first
part of the word which is the funda-
mental part. The same is true of
phrases, and if you watch person read
you will find that the eye moves by
jerks. The eye probably rests on the
important words or unusual words.
There is reason to think that in read
ing words on a page the mental pro-
cesses overlap. Before the first word
is perceived the second word is read.
1t would be well if the important words
were marked in some manner for the
eyes sake. 1t is here that spoken Ian
guage has an advantage over written
language, for the speaker emphasizes
the important words.
Reading is reflex performance.
NOW take IN the reading matter through
the eye and express it in speech and
writing A word to a thoroughly edu-
Gated person is four things; the way it
looks, the way it sounds, the way it
feels and what it means. 1t seems
doubtful whether one who has learned
to hear and speak before he has learned
to read can ever free himself entirely
of the verbal motions.
Different ways of reading are for diff
ferent kinds OF reading. In reading for
pleasure there is that in which the die
ton is important and one in which the
incident is important We read poetry,
fiction, philosophy and science. In
poetry we need the rhythm and swing,
and we can't get that without appeal
ing to the ears. In most fiction we read
without caring for the sound, though
dialect stories would be simply bad
spelling if the ear did not come in. In
reading philosophy the thought is de-
sired. and as abstract thought is diff
cut to follow, we pronounce the words
for the sake of mental association.
In scientific reading we wish the
facts in the shortest possible time Is
rapidity of reading compatible with
thoroughness and the opinion seems to
be that rapid readers get most out of
their reading. Rapid reading being an
advantage, it should be cultivated. Just
how reading should be taught in these
ways is pedagogical question. A pure
visual form of reading is not TO be re-
CURED Actual practice in reading any
familiar subject with continually aecel-
Grated speed is beneficial.

The SCHOOL CLOSES.
Seventh Summer SEES
sion at Clark Very
Successful.
TRICKS OF MEDIUMS SHOWN UP.
The independence of Wom-
an Is Not a Danger
But a Blessing.
TRICKS OF MEDIUMS SHOWN UP.

The seventh session Of Clark uni
versity summer school came to a most
successful close last evening after a
session fraught with interest. The
lectures yesterday were all well at
tended, especially that of DIR. Hall in
the evening. DR.. Hall spoke on modern
mysticism, exposing a number of the
@icks of mediums and sleight-of-h hand
performers. In his lecture during the
forenoon on 1.-THE ideal school," he told
what a school should be and what it
is not at present.
DR.. Chamberlain, in his lecture on
Man in the Goth century and after, :"
paid tribute to the growing indepen-
dence Of women, and said that instead
OF 1t being a danger, it would prove a
blessing Of the highest type.
DR.. Hodge conducted the educational
conference and the discussion was on
nature study. A large number of the
students told Of thair methods Of nature
study, and the conference, on the
whole, was one Of the most interesting
Of the session.
The certificates of attendance were
delivered to all the students who mad
been present at four lectures day
during the entire course. After the
evening lecture, the students fingered
for a while about the corridors, bid
ding farewell to each other and to the
instructors.

READING FOR CHILDREN.
Surround Them With Books and They win
Develop Taste for Good Literature.

Mr.. Sheldon spoke on 1.-THE play in
stinct and the reading problem" and
said in part: Numerous books for chill
dren have been published for many
years, and it may be said that Maria
Edgeworth made an epoch in juvenile
literature. Numerous studies have been
made on the favorite books of children
and the studies go to show that the
chfldren's reading is very good, but it
is not the case in reality. Many of
the American school boys read dime
novels, and story papers of that type.
The influence of the dime novel is
usually exaggerated
If boy reads dime novels contin-
ually, 1T doesn't mean that he is ir-
redeemabiy lost, but it may mean that
his taste for reading good romance and
good literature will never develop.
The Sunday school books have been
unjustly caricatured. The influence Of
this class of books is in general very
good. To write a real good children's
book is a work of genius, and as gen
fuses do not usually write children'S
books, juvenile literature will continue
TO be third rate.
Guides for children's reading have
been made and numbers of the states
are taxing II up. There has been some
attempt made to give up the old school
reader and in its place put the classics
of our literature.
There is a tendency to overdo the SUI
pervising. They seem to be so afraid
that children will read bad literature
that the tendency is to write down too
much. dThe scientific way of teaching
literature, tends to make children dis
like reading.
1t is the function of the school to
provide popular reading matter for the
pupils There Is in childhood an ele-
ment Of wanting to look forward, to
learn something. 1t is we'll to place
a number of books about children that
they may pick out what they wish,
and it is found that children will usual
ly develop taste for the best litera-
ture.
Some of the good works on this sub
ject are: Salmon's Juvenile literature
as 1t is." Mary e. Burke, Literary
landmarks" Prof. e. A. Kirkpatrick,
inductive study in the North Ameri-
can Review. Agnes Repplier, Books

MECHANICS OF READING.
Or. Sanford Tells How Reader May GET
the Most Out Of Books.

DR.. Sanford spoke on "The mechan-
les Of reading" and said in part
OF the sister arts, writing and read
ing, writing has received more atten-
ton than reading. Archeologists tell
us that Cadmus brought writing to
Greece, but they have not told us about
Very little has been done to make
reading easy. l shall take it for grant
ed that reading consists of getting the
largest amount Of matter with the
least trouble. We are fortunate that
we are passed the day of big folios.
though dreary subjects even today have
a way Of getting themselves into heavy
volumes. The greater the tax upon the
mind reading makes the less tax there ere
should be on physical energy. The
matter Of weight is but a Single one of
many In regard to light, to easy
chairs, the binding, all are important
In regard to the length Of the line in
the book. In a long line reading is yerv
tiresome. The focus must change in
moving from one end of the line to the
other, and the lines tend to run into
each other. Tie normal length of a line
is recommended In France as on inches
and in Germany as inches. Three or
four inches is the average length. Here
heavy books sin again.
In regard to the vertical separation of
the line. 1t is well known that a lead
ed line gives the appearance of larger
type. Jeval is opposed to putting space
between the line, and prefers larger
type. The next point is the shape of
the letter However, we usually rea Il
the sentences or the phrase and the
shape Of the letters is Of little conse-
quence The most legible letters are m.
w, p. q, then and d, X, v, t, a. y. s. e

as being the least legible. 1t is curious
to note that it is the letters that are

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.
Nature Hewed Man in the Rough and
What He Is Depends on Himself.

DR.. Sanford spoke on 1.-THE reflective
type" and said in substance:
representatives of the pure reflect
i've type are the metaphysicians and
scholars in general. These people have
no faculty Of managing practical af-
fairs. This appeared in Carlyle, in Des-
carte. They are Indifferent Of things
they see. Their intellectual boldness
is of the speculative type and does not
include practical things. Descarte be-
gan his philosophy by doubling every
thing, and then beginning over by taking
his own thought, Il think, therefore. |
am, built up his philosophy on this
Taking the men of the active reflect
i've type. This is the same type used
for General Grant and will be used
this time for Benjamin Franklin. men
of entirely different character. These
men are the calculators of all sorts.
They plan out their actions before
hand, especially In moral matter. 1t
represents the stoics in general, those
who think out their actions and then
do not allow themselves to be affected
by emotions. In some degree they are
men of duty.
The fault Of the pure refiectives is
that they do not act; and of the reflect
i've actiyes, 1t is the lack of feeling

is OF economic value. Men regulate
their lives by their feelings Feelings
are much deeper and wiser than our
reflections. Feelings move us as they
do because they are the feelings of the
race. In our feelings thousands Of
years of the race speak to us, not al
ways wisely but with more wisdom
than our intellect Of a generation.
In morbid types Of character, there
is first the alternating form, where two
distinct characters seem to take charge
of a person alternatively,
Tho case of one Mary Reynolds OF
Pennsylvania Is the most interesting
case recorded The girl changed from
a person of melancholic disposition to
a most j0cose nature, entirely the op-
pOsite of the first. After time. she
went back into the first state with in
creased melancholy and with no rec
objections of the second state. These
changes took place frequently until her
30th year, when she went into the sec
ond state permanently. The changes in
such a case as this seem to lie in what
we call temperament. In some insane
cases 1t goes much further where The
patient goes periodically from one to
another state. Slight changes of this
kind are normal In all OF us.
The second form OF morbid character
Is the unstable. 1t Ia the hysterlcai the

PROTECTION FROM MOTHS.

Nothing is more trying among the
smaller ills of life than to have clothing
and furs and carpets eaten by moths.
Very often article are not put away
soon enough in the spring; the eggs are
already laid in the stuffs before they
are packed, and hatch in the profound
darkness in which they revel.
There is q general impression that
camphor or pepper or moth balls keep
away moths, but it is not so. They do
not in the least object to odors, and
why such stuff is used at all is really a
mystery. Buffalo bugs seem really to
thrive on camphor, and to find especi-
ally conSenial quarters in cedar shelves
or closets or trunks.
Every article should be carefully
brushed-all the pockets turned inside
out. brushed, and then turned smoothly
back again, and every spot of every
description carefully cleansed-for
moths always seize upon d spot of any
sort as particularly choice morsel
