Wax RattleshiDs.

Comparatively few know that by the
English admiralty $ orders perfect mod
els are made in paraffin wax of every
new battleship before it is laid down,
and these models are tested in tank at
Haslar The models are from - feet to
81 feet long, and the tank is 400 feet
long and 20 feet wide The models are
made of wax, because it is a material
which does not absorb water or change
its weight, so alterations can be easily
made; also the material can be melted
up and used again.
Our naval authorities also have mod
els of all their hulls constructed, but
these are much more elaborate, being
formed of white pine and fitted with
rudders, false keels, propeller shafts and
all other necessary parts. New York

DICKENS AND FROEBEl.
What the Novelist Did For Child.
hood-HfJ Work For Education.

hoOd-HEI work For Education.
Froebel and Dickens. it is claimed,
are the best interpreters of Christ's
ideals of childhood The philosophy of
Froebel and the stories of Dickens are
in perfect harmony The two great re-
formers protested vigorously against
the interference of intermeddling adults
with the full development of the indi-
viduality of the child. They recognized
the divinity in each child so fully that
they objected to all stamping and
molding" processes by which its self
hood was dwarfed or warped Other ed
ucators and reformers had considered
the problems of human evolution from
the standpoint of the adult and had
asked, "What can we do to fit the child
for its work?' Froebel and Dickens
asked, How can we help the child to
grow by its own self activity They
were the great apostles of childhood.
They began the struggle for the free
dom of childhood from the restrictive
interference of adulthood
Dickens is commonly regarded merely
as an educational critic This is mar
row and unfair view He was a great
critic. He aroused the Indignation Of
the civilized world against those who
treated childhood inhumanly, and the
hatred of adult tyranny which he awak-
ened developed loving sympathy for
children But he could not have so
clearly exposed the wrong in education
without having definite conception OF
the right He was the greatest destruc-
tive educational critic but he was also
a most advanced. positive, constructive
educator There is no great ideal of the
new education" which is not revealed
by Dickens in his novels or his miscel-
laneOus writings.
Dickens was the first Englishman of
note to advocate the kindergarten. In
July. 1855, he published an article of
II columns in Household Words which
would take leading place if compared
with the papers read at a meeting OF
the International kindergarten union

THE PROFESSORS ADVICE.
II Was Followed. but II Spoiled the
Next Recitation.

They tell this story of college prank
the boys at Princeton played on Profess
or 'Winky Young, professor of as
tronomy His recitations were recently
held the first thing in the morning. and
he had to admCnish the students in his
division to correct the fault of tardi-
ness. which he claimed was increasing
in a lamentable manner. and when one
of the students explained that they all
studied so late at night they were apt
to oversleep in the morning he kindly
advised them to secure alarm clocks,
which he said were one of the most val
liable and useful inventions.
The next day nearly every student IN
the class came into recitation with an
alarm clock in his pocket, which by pa
tient and united effort were set so that
one would 20 off promptly at every sue
cessive minute of the hour The effect
can be imagined Shortly after the first
student was called to recite one OF the
clocks in the pocket of boy at the 9TH
er end of the room went off with ter
rible clamor. and before 1t had finished
a second in another part of the room
made even a louder racket
There was brief interval. which the
professor utilized to call up another stu
dent. but the latter was scarcely on his
feet before the third clock went off. The
performance was continued for half an
hour or more, when the professor, who
had keen sense of humor, recognized
the situation and cut short the fun by
terminating the recitation. The boys
explained that they had followed his
advice and secured alarm clocks, which
they were carrying around with them
because they were likely to fall asleep

Mothers Friend

does expectant mothers so much
good is because il is an external liniment,
to be applied upon the outside, where
much of the strain comes. II helps be-
cause the pores of the skin readily absorb
II. and il comes into direct contact with
and is absorbed by the parts involved.
Morning sickness is quickly banlshed,
and nervousness is kept completely away.
The sense of dread and foreboding is not
experienced, even during labor itself.
Confinement is short and almost without
pain. Recovery is quick and sure. Best
of all, Mothers Friend benefits the
unborn lust as much as the eXpectant
mother, and when the little one comes it
will be strong, luSty and healthy.
