German School Children Visit the
Country Districts Afoot.
"While I was In Germany q few
weeks ago." said a New Orleans busi-
ness man who has recently returned
from a trip abroad, II encountered a
party Of public school boys on one Of
the walking tours that form part Of
the educational system over there. The
youngsters range in age from about 10
to Ii and the tour was scheduled to last
q week over carefully prearranged
route. 1t struck me as being an excel
lent idea and l was particularly i'm
pressed by what the teacher in charge
referred to as eye training He would
point out a piece Of forest, for example,
and call the boys attention to the fact
that the foliage was not uniform
green, but was really made up Of an
infinite number Of tints and shades,
ranging from light yellow to deep pur-
pie. That led the way to little talk
about the law Of optics and color i'm
pressions, all very simple and informal
and evidently deeply interesting to the
scholars. They listened attentively,
ments to one another and it was so
much like friendly conversation l
dare say they forgot they were being
taught.
GAS they drew near the woods, the
teacher indicated different trees and
fold ofh oh hnir oh q u.
acter, distinguishing marks and COM
mercial value. Chatting at little
gasthouse that evening, he gave me
some details in regard to the system.
One of its chief objects, he said. was
to train the eye to see things. After a
boy had taken a tour his powers of
observation were at least doubled and
life was proportionately more interest
ing and attractive As a natural result
the brain was stimulated and kept
alert. In going through towns a curl
Gus game was played. The boys would
be led at a rapid walk past a store win
dow and then asked to describe the
objects 1t contained. The one whose
list was longest and most accurate re-
ceived prize, generally in the shape
Of a chunk Of bread and piece Of
sausage. The teacher said he found it
excellent training and mentioned incl
dentally that the idea was borrowed
from the memoirs Of French con-
jurer, Robert Houdin, whose father put
him through the same course to culti-
vate his memory. It was an odd little
circumstance and showed that the mod
ern German Is not above taking sug-
gestion wherever he finds it."-New

Roll a Punokin.

The Rev. John Haynes was famous
for his pithy sayings. AT one time,
says one Of our exchanges, he over
heard his daughter and some young
friends criticising certain neighbors
more severely than was pleasing to
him, whereupon he proceeded to read
them a lecture on the sinfulness Of
scandal.
"But, father" demonstrated his
daughter, eve must say something"
'If you can do nothing BETTER" re-
torted Mr.. Haynes dryly, 'get a pump
kin and roll it about. That will be at
least an innocent diversion"
Not long afterward conference Of
ministers met at his house. During
the evening an earnest discussion on
certain points Of doctrine arose, and,
from the lofty pitch of some of the
voices, 1t seemed as If part Of the dis
putants at least were In danger of los-
ing their temper.
At that juncture Mr.. Haynes daugh-
ter quietly entered the room, bearing
huge pumpkin. She put 1t down in
front of her father and said: "There,
father, roll it about. Roll it about"
Mr.. Haynes was called upon for an
explanation, and good bzmor was re-
stored.

BAD TIGER A MUSIC LOVER.
Violin Strains Have Soothing Effect
Upon an Angry Beast.

Violin Strains Have a Soothing Effect
Upon an Angry Beast.
A student Of animal habits made
some experiments with music at the
London Zoo. Here is his account Of
the effect OH tiger:
The violin player approached a sleep
Ing tiger, which was lying on its side,
with feet stretched touching the cage
bars. He played so softly that the
opening notes were scarcely audible.
As the sound rose the tiger awoke,
and, raising his head without moving
his body, looked for some time with
fixed attention at the player. 1t re-
manned for some time in very fine
attitude, listening to the music, and
then making the curious sound that, in
tiger language, does duty for "purr-
ing it lay down again and dozed. The
soft music was played on, while the
great beast lay as if lulled to sleep.
The violin was then put aside for the
piccolo. Judge of our surprise, when,
at the first notes of the new instru-
ment, the tiger sprung to his feet and
rushed up and down the cage, shaking
it's head and ears and lashing it's tail
from side to side. AS the notes became
still louder and more piercing, the tiger
bounded across the cage, reared on it's
hind legs, and exhibited the most lu-
dicrous contrast to the calm dignity
and repose with which it had. listened
to the violin.
Then came the final and most sue
cessful experiment. The piccolo was
stopped and very soft air played upon
the flute. The difference in effect was
seen at once. The tiger ceased to ''ram-
page" and the leaps subsided to gen.
tie walk, until the animal came to the
bars, and, standing still and quiet once
more, listened with pleasure to the
music
"There are many men," the student
remarks, on summing up his expert
ments in music at the zoo, "there are
perhaps many races of men, who could
not detect a discord and would be alike
Indifferent to harmony and it's opposite.
Yet among the brutes on which the ex-
periments were tried the sudden start
Of displeasure at a discord was general
from the snakes to the African ele-
phant."

Eating RaiIway Iron.

Iron for the blood has evidently been
prescribed for the quails of Florida; at
least, these birds are eating steel rails
on the tracks of the sugar belt near
Runnymede. The report, which is well
authenticated, does not charge the
quails with actually swallowing the
rails, but it does say that they pick
away their particles wherever they find
a rusty spot where they are loosened.
From several points in the state
comes Ahe report Of holes found in steel
rails, and in cases they are large
enough to seriously weaken the ma
terial. Where rusty spot starts and
is picked ont, it naturally holds mois-
ture, continues to rust, to be again
picked out, and so the work Of destruc-
ton goes on.
Railway engineers really believe that
the quails take the iron tonic because
they are not well and find that it re-
lieyes their distress.

ject of making the substitute for coal
known as "briquettes," in Germany,
has begun operations. Shavings and
sawdust are also being mixed with car

briquettes are sold as fuel and are said
both to produce great heat and to
cause no smoke or disagreeable odor.
They are, moreover, easy to handle,

It is doubtful If anything could be
written more convincing than the in
teresting story related by Mr.. Edward
T. Dudley, practicing attorney for
twenty-five years in San Francisco,
with offices at S3 City Hall avenue.
Mr.. Dudley lost his balance while
standing upon the rear platform of
street car, causing him to fall, strik-
ing the ground with the back of his
head. which brought on a feeling of
numbness and eventually paralysis.
Mr.. Dudley tells his experience in his
own way as follows:
after the fall from the car passed
IT by as an accident that had left no
apparent ill effects; yet few weeks
later. could not raise my foot. From
this time paralysis began in my feet
and in time my lower limbs became
numb. l became pale as ghost and
it brought on a bloodless condition of

healthy man of 1S0 pounds, was re-
duced to 145 pounds, and my doctor

Parliament which provides that per-
sons who fail to attend divine services
on Sunday shall be liable to imprison-

it is rarely enforced is proved only too

sumptuary Laws Trying on Those
With Slim Purses.
Bank clerks generally look so sleek
and comfortable and are almost in,
variably so well groomed that their
grievances rarely receive patient hear
ing.
One who was recently dismissed for
the terrible crime of smoking pipe
in city cafe during one of the hours
sacred to what is called by city courte-
sy lunch writes, giving a list of re-
strictions which he declares are alb
surd.
No clerk is allowed to smoke a pipe
in the streets during banking hours or
at lunch.
The average clerks salary is not so
very high, but nevertheless he must
wear a silk hat and cane to the office,
dressed as one with double the salary.
Wearing a cap to business is not to be
thought of, as it is an objectionable
offense in the eyes Of the bank officials.
The salary Of the average bank clerk
ranges from about 3S shillings a week,
but in many banks the salary is much
lower and the chances Of promotion
very small.
A clerks money is greatly diminished
by his having to subscribe to numerous
funds, such as "sports" fund, to keep
the cricket or football grounds in order,
which he himself is never able to see.
Saturday is no holiday for him, as he
does not leave the Office on those days
until about or 5 O'Clock.
1t must not be supposed that the
days work Of bank clerk ends with.
the closing of the bank to customers.
In fact, it only begins at that time
