Electricity is life. Lack OF cleo
tricity is death. Electricity consti-
tutes the chief element OF the vital
force of the brain and body. In this
era of haste and waste large proper
ton of deaths are caused by heart fail
ure, or slow electrical state. Sick
ness indicates that the body is lack
ing in vitality or electricity, and the
proper and natural remedy therefore,
Is to supply the deficiency. The
wonderful recuperative powers of cleo
tricty are clearly shown in the fact
when persons are at stage where life
is nearly gone, as in cases of drown
ing, poisoning, etc, electricity is APP
piled as the surest and most power
full remedy.-Salem Journal.

School Age for Children.

One oil the most valuable contributions
of the new psychology is the convincing
demonstration that there is an educa-
tional period in the development of chill
dren that should be taken into most ser
Gus account by the trainers of educa-
tional system.
The period is located by the various
authorities with practical precision. The
exact authorities say it begins when the
child is years of age, and reaches its
crescendo at 10 years. The more liberal
psychologists, allowing for variation
of the personal equation, place it be-
tween the ages of and "a years. 1t is.
that period of the normal child life when
the curiosity is most active and the mem
DRY most plastic, remarks leading ex-
change.
Since primary education deals almost
exclusively with these two functions of
the brain by arousing interested investi-
cation into the nature and reason of
things, and in fixing accurate knowledge
of fundamental facts for all future uses,
this age of the child is adjudged to be
the period of its proper schooling under
system and in the hands of competent
teachers. To force any child into sys-
tematic book studies under the age of s
is held by science to be a Psychological
SIM
The most learned educators of Europe
and America are rapidly reaching these
same conclusions and arguing that pub
lie school systems should be adjusted ac-
cordingly. In reply to the question,
what shall be done for the children be-
fore the age of s? the answer is found in
the kindergarten exercises and in nature
study that takes the form of outdoor act
ivty, making pleasurable play of the inn
portant work of giving the child knowl-
edge of the environments and instru-
mentalities of life. All this is valuable
preparation, is no waste of time or effort
involves no ruin to eyesight, no malfor-
nation of bodily posture and no prema-
ture tagging of the brain. On the con-
trary, such study and exercise is perfect
ly natural, agreeable, preservative of
bodily symmetry and mental elasticity.
Those communities that must econo-
mize the means available for public edu
cation should seriously study this scien-
ti6c phase of the problem of when and
how to best instruct their youth, getting
the surest and most profitable returns
in mental equipment with the greatest
economy.

WORK OF WIND IN TEXAS.

Ninety Eight People Killed and One Hun
bred and Three Injured at Goiiad.
The latest reports from Goliad, Texas
state that ninety eight persons were
killed and 1903 injured by the tornado
which passed over that city Sunday
afternoon. The property loss in the
city and surrounding country will
probably reach 100000. The storm
swept the city from end to end and de-
molished $50 stores and residences.
The tornado, which was preceded by
a terrific downpour of hail, lasted only
a few minutes. The hailstones drove
the people into their houses, where
they were caught when the death-deal'
ing wind came upon them with terrific
force, leveling everything in its path.
E1The tornado swept an area $50 yards
wide for distance of a mile and half.
Houses collapsed as if built of card
board, covering the dead and injured
with debris, which necessarily made
the work of rescue slow.
