THE STUDY OF HISTORY.
supt. Griffith Writes to Teachers in Regard
to Historical Work.

10 n1SGOr1ca1 Work.
In last weeks TELEGR Courier
there was an excellent editorial upon
the great value of the study of history.
Excepting language no study taught
in the schools is so alive with material
for mental training. The study of
history cultivates the highest and rich
est imagination and trains the reason
ing powers better than the mathemati-
cal studies.
History is chain of causes and
effects. Given a certain situation of
affairs and the outcome can be accur-
ately forecasted. History cu1tivates
the nob1est emotions of the heart. The
closing words of Webster's reply to
Hayne or the touching tenderness and
marvellous imagery of Linco1n's adj
dress at Gettysburg have done infinite
~ more to fire hearts with patriotism
than have all the refuses, riddles and
conumdrums'of arithmetic and algebra.
What is history? Is it the giving
certain number of dates and facts? O.
no; not just that alone, History is not
even a ''record of events. Deeds or
events are the signs of a peoples
thoughts and feelings. We say Ad-
miral Dewey fought the battle of
Manila, May l, 1898. We NAV know
his number of ships, the prisoners
taken, what the Spaniards lost and
such like matters. But what opposing
social, industrial and political ideas
were back of this battle? These and
their relations are the real history.
The events are the body of history;
the conflicting thoughts. and emotions
in the minds of the actors are the soul
of history. Thoughts and feelings are
immortal; events are of today and are
then gone forever.
Why and how governments were
founded; why and how churches were
and are built; why we have schools;
why highways, canals, railroads and
steamships are built; the origin and
growth of organized charities; pictur-
ing the home life of the people; how
they lived and their customs and how
their minds were mirrored in the
nations litera ture; these are the main
things of history. The whole life of
the nation is included. It's industrial,
political, educational, religious and
social phases are taken into account.
History, when thus considered and
accordingly taught, can be made "a
thing of beauty and JOY forever.
1t is a stage on which, are passed, in
splendid review, the comedies and
tragedies of the race. We see Paul
preaching to the men of Athens; the
games and g1adiators of the coliseum;
we walk among the splendid temples
of ancient Greece; yonder sits Socrates
among his disciples. The scene
changes. We hear the marvellous e1o-
quence of Pitt and Burke, as they de-
mand for Americans the rights of
Eng1ishmen. Standing around table
are ffty-four men. They are signing
a document which marked a new de-
parture in the history of the rights of
man. We are inspired with their
hopes, their ardor and their courage.
We feel that then and there the race
took a long step toward liberty and
fraternity.
They called her a muse. Well find it
pleasant and profitable to get we'll
acquainted with this stately maiden.
History guides our future by the les
sons of the past.

HISTORY OF KISSING.
The Salutation Means Various Things in
Various Countries.
Chicago Tribune.

friendship. With them, as with the
Anglo-saxon race to-day, the firm
handshake was the usual forn of salu-
tation In public. In medieval times
the kiss became the symbol Of other
sentiments. The vassal had to kiss
the sword Of his feudel lord. The
"osculum gladii correcti'' was the
symbol of fealty. In courts of Justice
the crucifx on the Bible was kissed,
custom still extant in English Courts
and in the Magistrates Courts of New
York. In the latter, by the way, the
innovation has just been introduced
to have Bibles with cellulid covers,
which are wiped with wet sponge
by the bailiff after each administration
of the oath.
In Austria it is considered good
breeding to kiss the hand of women.
The sterner sex has to be satisfied
with the verbal kiss your hand"
In Italy the hand-kiss among women
is sign of great intimacy, and there
fore restricted to close friends. In
Russia the hand-kiss of women is un-
known. There the forehead is kissed.
If Russian woman wants to bestow
particular distinction upon guest she
kisses his brow when he enters the
room, and she hands him saucer with
brandy. The Russian peasant salutes
his lord by embracing his knees and
kissing them. The Pole kisses the
shoulder Of his superior, and the Czech
kisses his clothes.
Here in America kissing in public
is confined to the dear girls, who kiss
each other in the street, the street
car, the theatre, in fact, wherever they
meet.

The Smart Young Wife.

Young Mr.. and Mrs. Smith were
preparing to make visit to friends
for few days. Their baby was only
two months old, but was an important
member of the family just the same.
Nlr. Smith was up stairs and Mrs.
Smith down stairs, putting on her
things and getting ready to start.
Hubby she called out to her better
half on the floor above, please bring
me my gloves They are lying on the
dresser. And bring me my overshoes
and veil and that hatpin lying on top
OF the chiffonicr and few of those
animal crackers for baby, and don t
forget the baby's toothbrush
Poor Hubby had hard time finding
everything his wife wanted. He was
long while making his appearance
and finally his wife called to him,
What is keeping you, dcar?'
"Oh, that confoundcd toothbrush
for baby! have everything but that. :"
Then Mrs. Smith laughed, 'You
silly duck said she, "did you not
know that | was only joking? The
baby, bless her dear little heart, hasn' t
tooth to her name"
That was why Hubby got so mad
and "said things" as he was coming
down stairs \ man never likes to
have joke played on him by his wife.

A Banks Narrow Escape.

II was cashier of bank in Penn
sylvania good many years ago. said
the man who was travelling on dead
head pass, "and after a couple of
years l made up my mind that things
were too slow for me. In other werds,
[ decided to gobble up what money
could and skip for Europe, and go into
business on my own hook. I bided
my time, and one night when l knew

other to the vault, and as we had no
watchman inside had no trouble in
getting in. It was about midnight
when I made my raid, and hadn't
opened the vault yet when the presi-
dent entered. He had an empty car
pet bag under his arm, and got weak
in the knees as he saw me. We hadn't
passed question when another key
clicked and the manager entered. He
also had an empty carpet bag, and he
also got weak in the kneae. The three
Of us sat down, each with an empty
bag at his feet. and looked at each
other for a long time. It was the
president who spoke first. and he said:
" I was worried about the funds in
the vault.

"'So was T. I added.
And hadn't VIC better see If they

"Then the president unlocked the
vault and the three of us stepped
inside and assured ourselves that the
fnnds were all right. AS we came out
and the doors we're locked behind us,
he said:
"I found this old carpet bag on the
street as 1 came along

There was an interval of painful

We are hiring new men all the time and
we now have nearly all we want. Some
of the new men are being discharged
when found to be not the men we want
and others put in their places. We
are satisfied with the situation, and /
might say In reference to the statement
that there is division In the board Of
directors that the board has been n
unit from the beginning, and It Is now
unanimous In favor of the policy being
pursued"
on the other hand, the leaders Of the
strikers profess to be very much en-
couraged by the working Of the boycott
and they say they must surely win be-
cause, the public is with them.
The president OF the union has been
all day listening to the complaints Of
merchants and others who claim they
have been boycotted without warrant,
and when he discovers that the person
who complains Is Innocent Of the charge
Of having ridden on Big Consolidated

day to look over the situation. He said
he was willing to undertake an investi-

He had a conference with President
Everett, but refused to say what trans

visit the strike leaders in the morning.
The boycott movement has reached a
point where It is almost impossible for
anyone who rides on the Big consOli-
dated cars to purchase the necessarles
Of life. This is especially true in the
outlying districts of the city.
DO you ride on the Big Consolidated
cars?" is the almost universal question
put to a would-be purchaser by the
merchants. If the answer is In the
affirmative, the customer is politely In
formed that he or she cannot be served.
The strike leaders to-day called upon
the owner of the Hotel Garlock and
asked him to refuse to longer permit
General Manager Douglass, Of the Big
Consolidated. to reside there. They met
with a prompt refusal the owner and
manager Of the hotel telling the leaders
that nobody would be put out so long
as he obeyed the rules Of the house.
