Scientists now acknowledge that
education has most effect upon medis
OGRE minds. 1t can do a great deal
with them, less for those who are de.
fective, and still less for those highly
endowed; for talented persons, even
though they may receive all the usual
courses of intellectual training, usually
educate themselves, says the Woman's
Home Companion. They gain theiI
most valuable education through the
exercise of their strongest faculties,
Work is their tutor and self-direction

Parents and tutors need to have
care that their efforts to be helpful ia
children do not interfere with the nat
ural development of their faculties,
This is sometimes done through not
recognizing their special abilities, quite
frequently from a wish to fix their des-
TIMES in accordance with some conven-
tional standard. We should study the
individuality of our child from his
birtf% so that we may avoid a waste
full employment of his energies in pur-
suits that are alien to his disposition
and foreign to his needs.

the reign of Edward l., and gradually
finished with other portions OF the edi-

Henry VII. by the erection of the

His Honey Was Missing.

The Kansas City Journal tells this
story: Frank Anderson was for years
a well-known commercial traveller who
made Galena, He was passionately
fond of honey, and the proprietor of
the hotel at Galena, at which he al
ways stopped, always had some on
hand for him. On one trip Anderson
took his wife along, and as they ap-
preached Galena he mentioned to her
that he was getting to place where
they could have some honey. When the
pair were sitting at the supper table
that night no honey appeared, and An
derson said sharply to the head waiter:
Where il my honey? The waiter smil-
ed and said; You mean the little
black-haired one? Oh, she don't
work here now"

A sound that is heard only to linn
tied extent in American speech is the
sound of in person, of in girl, of o
in word, of in murder and of y in
myrtle. Previously to about fifteen
years ago the sound was seldom heard
from the lips of American actors. Now
there are few of them that do not
make 1t properly. Five vowels, e, /, o.
u and in certain words have precise
ly the same sound. This sound is
easily learned. but it must be learned
orally; it cannot be described to any
practical purpose. The making Of 1t is
very important matter If one would

DE MOREs WIRE FENCE.
Marquis Tells westener He'll Shoot HIua
on Second Onense


Second Onenae.
When the Marquis de Mores took
possession of his 10000 acres in the
Bad Lands he proceeded to put I'D
barbed wire fences says G.. w. Ogden
in Everybody's Magazine. One of the
first to meet this innovation in the
Bad Lands was hunter named Frank
O'Donnell. He was heading in for the
river one day and almost fell from his
horse in establishment when he saw
the new fence. So great was his sur
prise he could not call to his mind ap-
propriate oaths. He cut the wire and
rode on toward Medora in silence.
They told him there who was respon-
sible for the breach of Bad Lands ETH
quette and he called on the marquis.
Say, pardner, what in the - do you
mean by putting up that fence?" he
demanded, with an injured air. De
Mores replied that he was merely fenc-
ing his own property, as was custom
airy in civilized lands. We'll l just
cut gap in the blankety-blank thing
up yonder on the HILL" said the hun
ter defiantly; that's the way I'll
treat your fence whenever it comes in
my way" "The next time you cut my
fence" De Mores said, without chang
ing color or showing the least sign of
anger, "I'll shoot you on sight" O'Don-
nell's jaw fell, and he looked in amaze
ment from one to another of the men
who stood around. Then he mounted
his horse and rode away.

And Westminster Abbey Also.
The abbey is perhaps the most wide

edifice in the world. Wherever the
English tongue is spoken "the abbey
makes us we;" yet it never has been
finished and probably never will be.
The disastrous attempt at completing
1t made by Sir Christopher Wren when
he put up the two incongruous square
towers on the west front is a we'll
known architectural crime, the results
of which are enough to brighten off
any other architect from trying his
hand on the ancient edifice. The ex-

the order was in itself excellent, name
