Under date of Boise, March 49, 1901. the

German School Method.
From Modern Society.

from MO0erh society.
An interesting series Of experiments has
been tried by the school authorities in
south Germany to test the faculty Of OBJ
servation as 1t is exercised by boys and
girls. man dressed as an ordinary work
man and with ordinary features was placed
in room by himself. Glasses of girls of
different ages were sent through the room.
All that the teachers told them was that
they were to go into the room through one
door and out through another. When they
returned to their class rooms they were
asked to describe the man in the room
Nearly 50 per cent Of the girls confined
their attention to the mans clothes; the
others described both clothes and features
The same experiments. when tried with
boys revealed the fact that nearly 20 per
cent of them confined their attention to the
mans features. the remainder to both fea-
lures and clothes.

Morbid Sensitiveness.

The surest way to conquer morbid sensi-

as possible, and, while appraising your own
ability and intelligence at least as impair
TALLY as you would those of friend or ac-
quaintance, to forget yourself Unless you
can become unconscious Of self you will
never either appear at your best or do the
best Of which you are capable. It requires
will power and an unbending determine ton
to conquer this arch enemy to success, but
what has been done can be done, and many
who were held down by 1t for years have,
by their own efforts, outgrown 1t and risen
to commanding positions.

Germs and Insusceptibility.

Some persons are susceptible to con-
tagion. others are not. and il is not difficult
10 determine who are and who are not.
Fire will not burn where there is not fuel.
Fermentation will not take place in pure
water: but stagnant water becomes impure
and may then ferment. Every plant. germ
and insect has its natural habitat and It's
natural conditions of life. Without these
conditions 1t cannot live or propagate
Germs of lower forms of life are always
present, sooner or later. wherever condi-
lions favor. and ii is impossible to excluoe
them unless we exclude at the same time
atmospheric air. or oxygen which Is equally
necessary to the existence OF man. So con-
tagion or infection may hasten disease In

The Boy and His Training.
From the Lady.

From the Lady.
The boy brought up wholly among grown
up people has to strain his intelligence up
to a loftier standard than that ordained by
nature. You may see what you bring your
self down to your boys level. but a child
soon understands and resents the fact that
he is being talked down to. This shakes
his confidence in your bona fides, arvi this
feeling as it increases gradually estianges
him.

An Event in Sporting Circles.

The New York police affirm that not for
many years have they had so much trouble
with the colored population of the town as
during the past week. The sporting ele-
ment of the Afro-Amer!can residents of the
town have been rioting in one delirious
whirl of bliss ever since the day when DIR.
Saylor won a race at Gravesend at odds
of 200 to L. One of the characters of the
downtown colored quarter is a coal-black
medical man named DR.. Saylor. The horse
wasn't named after him. but after a we'll
known western veterinarian. The black
sports" however, couldn't be got to be-
lieve this. They accepted the ''hunch'
that DIR. Saylor was named after the healer
Of their color. and so they went down to
the track in a swarm to put their dollars
on the animal, which wasn't even con-
sidered a possibility by the bookmakers.
DIR. Saylor just walked in as the turfmen
put it, at the huge odds. and the police say
there has been no doing anything with the
black sports since that day. They've all
got more money than they know what TO do
with in orderly manner, and so they've
been compelled to resort 10 disorderliness
as much SO straight at DO to i on the
Saylor animal. and when they got through
collecting their "hunch" bets many a book

Mayor Jones declared, however. that ne

than it was 100 years ago and was con-

man worthy of his steel and was angered
at his inability to land knockout blow.
That anger was accentuated by the cheers
of encouragement from the 500 spectators
including five women.
Time and time again Jeffries rushed mad
ly at Munroe only to find that the amateur
could duck or get away from the vicious
leads. jabs and swings. Once, in the third
round. Jeffries landed a stiff left swing on
the jaw and Munroe went down for the
count. He appeared fresh. however, when
he arose and surprised Jeffries with a jab
on the nose.
A few seconds later Munroe put his right
on Jeffries's body and swung his left al
most simultaneously on the jaw.
JEFFRIES LOST HIS FORFEIT.
The go between JEFF and Munroe was the
third number on the athletic programme
of the big fellows who are touring the
country. 1t followed the knockout of Jack
Stewart by Fitzsimmons in fifteen seconds.
jeff agreed to stop Munroe in four rounds
or forfeit $500.
