Value Of Appreciation.

Ndtue OF Appreciation.
Many men and women underestk
mate the value of expression; they
take too many things for granted:
they assume that their affection, on
their gratitude, or their sense of obli-
CATION is understood without words.
Such people are often surrounded By
those who are craving some express
sion of affection, some word Of ap-s
proval, some kind of recognition
The best work is sometimes done
with shut teeth and a fixed purpose,
in dead silence. so far as the world il
concerned, without a murmur of ap
plause or a word of thanks, but this
is not tho way in which work ought
to be done among intelligent men and
women, and it is not the way in
which. as a rule, the best work Is
evoked from the greatest number OF
people
The majority of men and women get
the best out of themselves when they
are in a congeniaI atmosphere. This
is particularly true of those fnea
kinds Of work which express individu
ality, quality and personal gift--Out

But Tabitha's big brothers sternly

So, though unwillingly, they set
Wandoa free, and he kept his word.

WHY NOT USE PAPERP

English Teachers to Carry Bottles of
Slate Disinfectants-
IL has long been suspected that the
sucking of slate pencils by children,
besides being a distressing habit from
the point of view of any person of re-
fined sensibilities, is one which is ex-
tremely unhealthy.
The correlative habit of cleaning
states with the means that nature has
supplied instead of using a timely
sponge has also nothing to recon-
mend it; and in the opinion of more
than one medical authority may be
responsible for spreading epidemics in
schools
So strongly has this view been
urged by the medical officers of health
for Derbyshire that in future the ele-
mentary school children of the county
are to be instructed on the principle of
E'one child one slate; and the states
are to be cleaned not by the children
themselves. but by the teachers, who
are to be furnished with bottles of
disinfecting fluid. etc, with which to
effect their purpose.
The idea may. perhaps, raise a
smile, but it is only by the incest at
tention to such elementary hygiene
that the health of children's schools
can be preserved--London Graphic

The Sun has already reported the
departure from New York of party
in charge of Mr.. Phillips Werner,
which is going to equatorial Africa
llor the purpose of procuring number
of the remarkable pygmies of that re-
,gion.
Mr.. Werner served for some years as
a medical missionary in large dis
trict to the south of the Congo river,
where one of the largest groups of
dwarfs is found He knows a consid-
cradle number of them, and this fact
is likely to contribute to the success of
his mission
The pygmies are purely of the negro
type, but are abnormally dwarfed. and
no explanation OF the curious fact has
yet been discovered, unless the pyg-
mics may be accounted for on the the
DRY that at some time in the dis
tant past the negro race developed a
tendency to generate families of stunt
ed stature
On the accompanying map every
place in equatorial Africa where the
pygmies are known to live is shown
by a black dot One may see at
glance that they are widely scattered
over the equatorial region. for they
are spread from near the Atlantic
ocean to within 500 miles of the In
dian ocean
The existence OF these pygmies was
known as the ancient Egyptians and
Herodotus mentions them in his his
tory but they had not been seen for
twenty centuries and the modern
world refused to give any credence to
the stories of their existence Up
to forty-five years ago there was no
good evidence that there were any
pygmies in Africa
Then in 1855 the Americn explorer
Du Chai11u discovered the Babongo
dwarfs among the forests near the
Atlantic The group of pygmies
which he reveals is marked on the
map. and a few centers of dwarfs in
the same region, discovered by later
explorers, also are indicated
