When he is four years old the Hin
doc boys time of idleness and happy
freedom is over His father then con-
suits an astrologer as to which would
be the 1uckiest day to send the son
to school When. the date has been
fixed he is given bath, his very best
clothes are put On and he is taken to
pay a visit to the temple and to offer
up sacrifice to the god of learning,
praying that in his school life he
may become learned and Industrious.
Then he is taken to school and a
period Of rigid discipline begins. If he
is the first boy to arrive in the morn

across his back and each boy as he
comes get an. added stroke, the last
boy receiving an abundance. How
fatigued that schoolmaster must be!
If child is very late indeed he is
made to stand on one leg for an hour
or hold his arms straight out before
him or hold a brick high in the air.
For every new lesson he learns he
must give the master a present.

A Pleasing Criticism.

It is with unusual pleasure we
publish the following from the
facile pen of our good Greek
friend, Mr.. a. Mikas. The COM
munication explains itself and will
be of especial interest to Whit
worth College students Of the
classic language. We venture to
suggest that if said students master
the Greek as well as Mr.. Mikas
has the English, they will have
attained a most desirable degree of
perfection:
On a recent visit to Whitworth
College / had the privilege
through Mr.. Hawkins courtesy
to be present during the recital
of the classes studying the Greek
language. Imust confess / was
as much surprised as I was de-
lighted at the progress the young
students have made in compare
lively such a short time, towards
mastering the classic language.
The first-year class read from the
Greek Testament and translated
same into English in an easy and
graceful manner. The second
year class read from Xenophon's
Anabasis and translated same into
English; in both instances DIS
playing admirable ability and
much charm. Even their writing
of the Greek characters was done
in excellent style. The pronun-
citation of the words is defective,
differing from the Greek, es
pecially when it comes to words
containing dipthongs. This de-
feet, however, is prominent in all
schools and colleges of Europe, as
we'll as of America; and the lead
ing educators the world over have
been debating for some time, the
question of adopting the pronun-
citation used by eight million
Greeks in this country, and the
world over.
The educators realize the neces-
sity of teaching the classic Ian
guage not onlyas means of mental
discipline, but also for practical
purposes.
To command language, wrote
a teacher, it is above all necessary
to know how the people speak.
The everyday language must be
familiar to us. Whoever knows
the conversational language of a
nation has the key to the under
standing of its writing, like the
people themselves.
| congratulate Prof. Hawkins
on his scholarly knowledge of the
Greek language, as we'll as On his
excellent method of teaching and
making it easy and attractive to
the students. To the young ladies
who study the language l extend
my fluctuations. They appeared
willing and anxious to master the
most beautiful of all languages.

that the knowledge of said Ian
guage will add fresh graces tc
their other accomplishments.

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT rIEDICINE.
Mr., ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use Of Paine's Celery Compound,
Am Now Ia the Best OF Health"

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, M. D., IL. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known land most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, oI
OConnor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says
81 acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of7a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. I was also treated by several Of
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.

last May; and believing that he
was losing his mind, he chose
death instead. Two shots from a

His accounts at the bank were cor

When the butter won't

proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk Of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
