LECTURES ON
CHARACTER STUDY
DR.. James NJ. Milne Gives an
Interesting Address.
OF the Teachers Institute Begins This
Morning and Excellent Sessions Are
Being Held-Another Address
Thursday Evening.

DIR. James NJ. Milne gave an interest
ing lecture on Character Study to the
County Teachers Institute Tuesday
evening in the high school assembly
hall. Beginning with wide compari-
sons he shows the progress Of human
thought, and Of the culture and educa-
tion of the human being. Among other
things he said that no two leaves, no
two apples and in the same way no two
human beings are alike. Likewise no
two characters are alike. Hence there
must be some outward signs of char
acter. BY seeing the face or hand there
are rules by which a person can de-
scribe the rest Of the body. Measure
able distances in the face and the
frame are vital to character. Every
sign on the face and body must be in
harmony with every other sign. The
nose tells much. There are Roman
noses, Greek noses, Jewish noses, and
long sharp pointed noses, indicating a
| sharp, pointed mind.
He described the characters accom-
panying these noses.
Then lips are signs. "The man with
the lips turned down at the corners is
| human umbrella whose only brother
is melancholy" Nothing tells 50 much
as the eyes. They betray the heart.
| They are the outlet of the soul. He
| spoke Of the voice as the organ Of the
soul. 1.-THE soul Of man is audible but
not visible" he said.
| Taking up the hand, he said that
the hand is typical Of the body. Long
slim fingers indicate a literary mind.
Thick, short fingers, a playful dispo-
sition and skill in slight of hand tricks.
DISCUSSED HANDSHAKING.
He discussed handshaking from the
New York scratching the ear to the
long arm pump handle" motion. The
impression made upon you by the hand.
shake represents the feeling Of the per.
son toward you. In watching play
or listening to lecture the hand re.
spends to the different mental move.
ments of the person.
Handwriting is also very expressive
Of character.
A man may often be told by the way
he dresses, as there is true harmony
between the outer and the inner man
He gave several humorous example.
Of this. Differences Of character, how
ever, he wished to impress were no
the result Of chance.
He closed with plea to the teachers
|, to study children and let the children
, grow and live; to study life and let lif
| impress itself. He wished that the!
might have that wonderful thing, com
mon sense, which would lead us to se
that health Of mind depends upol
health Of body. And last he PLEADED
that the teachers work for the sake o
, work, for the sake of the children
: that they teach the individual, guild
the wayward, lift up the fallen, an,
reck not Of the self-sacrifice re
quired.

WOMANLIKE,
SHE PAINTED,
After She Had Worked Hero
icly, and
SAVED A YOUNGSTERS LIFE
Mrs. McComb Dug Child From Grave
Pit, After q Cavs-in Had Completely
Buried Him-A West End
Mishap.

What might have proved fatal ac-
the gravel pits on Harrison avenue, in
the west end, and one eight year old
lad owes his life to woman.
A little boy named Helper, whose
father is night engineer at the electric
light works, with his sister, had been
playing in the gravel pits, when there
was a fall Of sand and gravel.
The little fellow was covered COM
pletely. His sister ran, screaming as
sistance, the first person she met being
Mrs. William N. McComb, of 242 South
Harrison street, to whom she related
the accident. Mrs. McComb went to
the boys assistance and worked with
desperation to relieve the little fellow.
When she had him partly uncovered
two men came to her assistance and in
few moments the lad was taken out
little the worse for the accident. The
first thing the child said upon being
released was: Get the shovel"
When Mrs. McComb saw that the
| boy was safe, the effects Of the violent
exertion she had undergone togethet
with the excitement, proved too much
for her, and she was completely pros
trated. She sank into Inconsistencies
and was removed to her home, when
she soon recovered.
The banks of the gravel pits are
very high and the soil treacherous. II
is constantly caving in and the place
is too dangerous to be a play ground
for children.

RELIEF OF KIMBERLEY.
March of French's Division Marked by q
Number of Conflicts.

March of French's Division Marked by q
Number of Conflicts.
Modder River Feb. 20.-Although
the rapid march Of General French's
division was marked by a number Of
conflicts, the actual entry into Kimber-
ley was unopposed. General French,
at the head Of a column, made a tri-
umphant entry into the place, the peo-
pie surrounding the troops and inter-
mingling with them, cheering wildly,
grasping the soldiers hands, waving
flags, hats and handkerchiefs and ex-
hibiting in a hundred ways the IT,
tensity of their joy. The miles of con-
voy bearing provisions for the relief
Of the column and the town, slowly
winding it's way across the plain in
the direction of Kimberley, was the
gladdest sight which greeted the eyes
of the besieged for four months.
General Frenchs march was so rap
id and the heat so intense that many
Of his horses died of exhaustion. At
the crossing of the Modder river the
Beers bolted, leaving their tents, guns,
oxen, wagons and large quantities of
ammunition in the hands of the Brit
ish. Moving northward, the Beers
again attempted to stem the advance,
but General French turned their flank
and reached his goal with insignifi-
cant losses-seven men killed and thir-
ty-five wounded during three days,
