Respect of elders is the paralysis
OF the young. The young have a
chance of clear vision, but in this
blessed country they only see what
their elders expect them to see, only
think what their elders expect them
to think. So they grow into elders
who learn nothing with years but
to save themselves the trouble of
thinking. Listen to the grave talk
of your elders, and YOU will hear

The Original squeers. :,

The grossest injury which Dickens
ever inflicted on a fellow being was
his too accurate portrait Of an inno-
cent man in his Squeers. That York
shire schoolmasters were, as a rule,
cruel and wicked enough It Is true, but
the particular schoolmaster who was
recognized and who recognized him
self as the original Squeers seems to
have been an exception to the rule.
It will DO remembered that Dickens
and his illustrator Travelled together
to the north of England for the pur-
pose Of collecting material for mick
lcby" and especially for the Dothe-
boys episode. At Great Bridge they
visited a boarding school known as
Bowes academy. The master, William
Shaw, received the strangers with
some hauteur and did not as much as
withdraw his eyes from the operation
Of penmaklng during the interview.
Phiz sketched him in the act; Boz
described the act. The personal pecul-
iarities Of William Shaw were recog-
nized in Squeers. Shaw became a butt
of popular ridicule, lost his pupils and
finally died of broken heart. Yet
there Is abundant evidence to prove
that he was a really excellent and kind
hearted man, who was made to suffer
for the misdeeds Of his neighbours

That ants doctor their sick by hyp-
notism and magnetism is proved by OBJ
seryation. An ardent student tells how
he witnessed what may be termed
seance in medical science among ants
He saw several of these little creatures
emerge from the hill and noticed that
there were some among them which
were weak and maciated-invalids, In
fact. They were accompanied by
healthy members Of the community,
and all made their way toward dis
"ant mound.
On following their movements through
a glass the observer saw on this mound
a big and sturdy ant, which made some
motions In the direction Of the advanc-
ing invalids. The latter went up the
mound, one by one, and submitted
themselves to treatment. This consist
ed in the physician ant passing his feel
ers over the head and body Of the pa
tient in a manner distinctly suggestive
Of the hypnotizing II nerves and mus
cles practiced by human doctors. Ev-
cry one went through the treatment;
then the patients went back, and the
doctor marched of In the opposite d.

WELL BROKEN HORSES.
The Silent Man Generally Has the
Most Manageable Animals.

The silent Man Generally Has tho
Most Manageable Animals.
Has any one ever noticed that 4 y
lent man has usually the best bF>sea
horses? It may not be true, but an ths
men of my acquaintance who do NOT
talk much have well broken horses.
Drive with them, and you will wonder
how they manage their horses. No
management is visible. Tho horse goeS
where he Is wanted without apparers
effort on the part Of the driver. One
famous turfman at least has been not
ed for his art in driving horse to tho
limit of his speed without making a
move while his rivals were lifting and
yelling and whipping theirs How did
he do 1t? Don't know, but he was
man of few words.
Probably there Is a lesson In this.
The average horse understands only a
few things thoroughly. only few
words, signs or commands. The silent
man gives only few, and he does not
confuse his horse. The horse is made
to know them thoroughly. He under
stands the man who understands him.
It Is a pleasure to drive a horse that
understands. Few pleasures In life can
equal 1t If the horse Is a good, cheer
full driver. There would be more Of
this kind If they were made to know
few things thoroughly-the right
things.-National Stockman.

When Sousa, famous the world over

Time passed, and this son Of sunny IT.
ally commenced to grow musical and
also to become Americanized. 1t was
then, 80 the story goes, that he ex-
pressed the desire for a name more
nearly like those OF the people or
which he was one by choice.
Philipso sounded out Of place doing
service for man who had imbibed
American beliefs and customs and
whose destiny was closely linked with
'the stars and stripes forever" A
member Of the band to which he be-
longed finally made a suggestion. 1t
turned out to be happy one and was
adopted by the master Of the baton.
The suggestion was this: To the name
Phillpso add U. s. A. Divide the one
name into two words, and there was
the smooth sounding and easily pro-
nounced name Of John Philip Sousa.-

Lantern illumination Makes the City

A row Of paper lanterns in the black

Yokohama as he steps from his "sam-
pan" on to the wharf at night.
The lanterns hang low and almost
motionless, but at the word 'rickshaw''

later he discovers that each lantern Is
attached to rickshaw, which offers

him. But go where he will the lantern
is always there, dangling and swaying
and dimly flashing.
The lantern ON the rickshaw is

brilliant dashes Of color under cloud

q bewildering maze Of lights. Through
out Yokohama gas lamp posts are few

the lantern illumination all the more
conspicuous. They are not hung at reg

seaIskin Doesn't Come From Seals.
The beautiful product used for cloth
ing and commonly known as sealskin
is not furnished by the true seal, whose
skin Is almost useless except when
used as an ornamental mat or stiff rug.
They are the sea lions and sea bears
the cared seals, otaria-whose skins
are so highly valued because so soft
and warm. The true seal is common
enough, but its skin is only priced as
trophy, and 1t may be added that
sealskin when ready for clothing has
not, as often supposed, the same downy
appearance on the living animal, being
covered with long, coarse, deep rooted
hairs, which drop out when dressed by
the furrier and leave the soft, woolly
hair uninjured.

How the Peach Was Produced.

That the luscious peach has been de-
rived from the hard shelled almond can
no longer be successfully denied. 1t is
said that the peach in its original soil
was a virulent poison and that the Per
sian warriors brought to Persia some
of the seeds and planted them for the
purpose of poisoning the points of their
arrows so as to render wounds caused
by them to be fatal, but a change Of
climate and soil produced fruit
which is not only luscious. but is es-
teemed exceedingly healthful.
