Birds In Indian Legends.

All primitive people regard the bird
as specially wise and favored. Living
IN the air, he is regarded as exercising
control over atmospheric phenomena.
and, knowing SO wyll his own m:gra-
tory seasons, the Indians observe his
flights as foreboding i'll or good to
themselves.
The IIurons believe that the dove
carries the souls of the departed hence.
The Dallotns say the storm bird dwells
SO high as to be out of human vision
and carries II fresh water lake on his
back. so that when he plumes himself
1t rains, when he winks his bright eyes
1t lightens. when he flaps his wings

the same idea about the "thunder-
bird"
Among them all the eagle is mighty,

Navigating the Elbc.

A curious means OF moving boats is

THE HABIT OF LYING.
wsss In Which r..eva-icallon May
lie EevclopeL.

Low Goes one becoE.c a liar that Ia
to say. how does t..:c child discover a
lie and hab:ta&.l,' MAKE use Of it?
We cam aGIlt tia. q, the beginning
there is absolute sincerity. The child
through all it's FIRST years neither lies
nor Gissimui.;.cs. Its sentiments, its
DESIRES Translate themselves into words
and into acts. Us Loly is the constant
and perfect expression Of its INN st
being. Such is the staiti9g point-sin-
cerity, absolute transparency.
There is IL E,ultitude of little lies
tolerated Which we treat as pardon-
able We TN the domestic to say we
are not at home when we are: we CON-
pliment people to their faces ard CRIT.
icise them when tl!es arc gone; we say
we ere harp.. to see so.:,c ore and dl
rectly after speak cf having been an
hoyed. No lncrr Is rccessary. The cx-
ample has lcen given.
We lie to the child Himself. We are
pressed by his many embarrassing
questions and iii order to free ourselves
from the embarrassment reply with
what Is frequently Il falsehcoG. Some
fine day lie discovers the truth. and the
evil Is done. The gravest case is when
the child is taken as an accompl:ce in u
lie or when his mother tells him,
above all, do not tell this to your
papa" This is the ruin of all morality.
The third stage is the first encounter
OF the Child with society, the first
shoc!l with social life. The child who
tells all he knows. sees and hears, all
that he would better have left unsaid,
Is called the "cnfant terrible" lies
parents do not tell him to lie, but they
tell hiEa 1T is not necessary to tell al!
he thinks. This is extremely serious,
as 1t teaches the child t,.gt lie cannot
show himself as he is This is the
revelation of the lie obligatory. Above
all, among his comrades he quickly
learns to Gissimulatc. because If he is
naivc-c2presscs all his joys. pains de
sires-thcy make sport of him; nay,
worse, they abuse his condolences; the
hopes, projects which he has confided
to them he some day sees used against
him.
Thus the lmpossibility Of living with
out lying is revealed to him. Society
excuses certain forms CT lying which
are inspired by u feeling Of politeness,
modesty, SHINE.
The child becomes liar because ali
the world about him lies. The distinc-
tion between the lar and the man of
sincerity is only relative. There are in
reality only two catcgorics-those who
content themselves with the lies exact
ed by social life and those who have
habituated themselves TO lying more
: than society wishes. to lie because Of
some personal interest.
An Important cause in the develop.
ment Of lying in children is the EN-
ployment of excessive and i'll advised
punishmcnts. The child who becomes
q liar is the one who lives in perpetual
terror of reproaclcs, humiliation or
strokes. The lie for him is supreme

Perfume, In Ancicnt pny..

Old as the history Of the world itself
~ that of the queen of flowers. The
ancient Greeks and Romans rcveled in
roses. They were used lavishly at their
feasts. In the time of the republic the.
people had their cups Of F;lernian
wine swimming with blooms. and the
Spartan soldiers after the battle of
Cnrha refused to drink any wine that.
was not perfumed With roses. while at
the regatta Of Bain the whole surface.
of the Lucrine lake was strewn with
flowers.
