Praise. Not Blame.

There Is no more valuable ally for
mother and teacher than judiciously
bestowed praise.
1t Is no wonder many children give
up trying to be good, for they are so
frequently told that they are bad, it is
but natural that they should believe it.
If we wish to encourage and help the
young people to be good we should try
under all circumstances to hold to the
idea that they are at heart anxious to
please us. In that frame of mind we
can easily remember that a misdeed
is often due ito want of thought not
want of heart"

who had been many years with the

to be married.

one Of the members Of the firm went
down to seaside resort, and there,
lounging about the parade and ap-
parently enjoying himself immensely,
he saw his recently married old book
keeper, but alone.

DANGER OF INACTIVITY.
Weaver, OF You Will he
Sorry l

Des Nome. Sept. 17~-The progress
of the campaign during the past week
has been highly satisfactory to re-
publicans. Chairman Weaver has held
conferences with the county chair
men in every congressional district in
the state. He has found party lead
ers everywhere alive to the one dam
ger that confronts the republican
party in Iowa this year. That dam
ger is overconfidence. Everybody is
sure of republican success. and this
is always great temptation to relax
effort. 1t is hard to make voters I'M
derstand why they should be expect
ed, not only to vote, but to take an
active part in the campaign every
year when the result appears to be
so little in doubt.
It is always hard to interest peo-
pie in q one-sided contest. 1t takes
a fight to arouse men to do their
best. Every effort is being used
and will be used with redoubled
energy from now until election
to impress upon voters the neces-
sity of arranging their affairs so as
to be present at the polls on election
day. This is about all there is to do
in Iowa this year, except in one or
two congressional districts. The one
danger is that republicans will go to
sleep, only to wake up on the morn
ing after election to find that the
eternal vigilance-of the democrats has
resulted in giving Iowa bad record
and encouraging democrats with the
idea that Iowa is close state and
may betcarried for democracy another
year. This apathy is likely to result
in the defeat of many local candi-
dates. 4
Chairman Weaver has received from
the local workers hree-fourths of
the poll books which were sent out
several weeks ago. This poll book is
arranged to classify the voters of the
state as they have never been classi-
fed before, and it is of the highest
Importance that these books should
be returned Immediately to- state
headquarters because of the informa-
ton they contain and so that liter

these poll books. When they have
all been turned in, Chairman Weaver
will have such perfect information
regarding the state that he can pro-

to plan his campaign to produce the
best results.

now nearly complete. This gives to

most anything. Having from three

THE PARACHUTE.
A Monks Experiments In Air Flight
In the Eleventh Century.


Credible accounts exist of an English
bury, in the eleventh century having
tried to fly by precipitating himself
from the height of tower with the as
sistance Of wings attached to his arms
and his feet. 1t is said that having
gone along little way he fell and
broke his legs. He attributed his acct
dent to failure to provide his apparatus
with tail, which would have helped
preserve his equilibrium and made his
descent a gentler one.
In the sixteenth century Leonardo da
Vinci first demonstrated that bird,
which is heavier than the air, sustains
ITSELF advances in the air, "by render
ing the fluid denser where it passes
than where it does not pass" In order
to fly 1T has to fix its point of support
on the air. It's wings in the descend
Ing stroke exert a. pressure from above
down, the reaction of which from be-
low up forces the center of gravity Of
Its body to ascend at each instant to
the height at which the bird wishes to
maintain it Some sketches which
have come down to us prove that Leo
nardo occupied himself, like Oliver Of
Malmesbury, with giving man the pow
er to fly by the assistance Of wings
| suitably fixed to the body.
We owe to Leonardo also the inven-
ton of the parachute, which he de-
scribed in the following terms: 'If a
man had a<pavilion each side of which
was Is braces wide and IL braces high,
! he might cast himself from any height
whatever without fear of danger" 1t
may be said, too, of Leonardo da Vinci
that he was the first to suggest the
idea of the screw propeller.-Apple-
tons popular Magazine.

Rufus choate's Bad Writing.

George Ticllnor, the historian Of
Spanish literature, was once called as
witness in case in which Rufus
Choate was engaged, and, being seated
by the eminent counselor, was attract
ed by the notes which he had made Of
the evidence. After eying them with
interest, he remarked that the writing
reminded him of two autograph letters
in his possesson-one of Manuel the
Great Of Portugal dated 1912 and the
other Of Gonsalvo de Cordova, the
great captain, written a few years
earlier. (Any one who has glanced
over these remarkable specimens Of
chirography will marvel that it was
possible to make out syllable of such
illegible scrawls)
'These letters" Mr.. Ticknor assured
MIR. Choate, ''were written $50 years
ago, and they strongly resemble your
notes of the present trial."
Choate instantly replied, Remark
able men, no doubt; they seem to have
been much in advance Of their time."--
