after attending a tie deum in memory

opened, Friday, in the assize court.
Large crowds of people gathered in
the vicinity of the court, but only the
witnesses. lawyers and reporters we're
admitted. A detachment of police of
considerable strength maintained or
der. Rubino replied volubly to all in
terrogations, and whenever he ut
tered the word anarchy" he raised
ms voice as though exulting in his
connection Herewith. The prisoner
bitterly assailed modern society as the
cause of all evil, declaring he only
attempted to take the life of the king
because the latter was the highest
representative of society. Rubino add
ed that he had intended going to
Italy for the purpose of making an
attempt on the life of the Italian
monarch, but he did not have suffi-
cient funds. During the prisoners
examination it developed that he left
the Italian army because his officers
prosecuted him. The persecution in

Rubino to a socialist newspaper pub
lished in London justifying the muir
der of Senior Canovas del Castillo, the
Spanish premier, and stating that he,
Rubino, had contemplated killing
King Edward November 25.

FILARIA is a NEW DISEASE
Responsible for the Death Of Many
American Soldiers.


Capt Charles Kieeffer, a United
States army surgeon, says the Phil
ippines are infested with mosquitoes
more troublesome and dangerous from
medical point of view than those
that swarm in the Jersey swamps. A
strange 1nalady known as flara is
traced directly to them, and is COM
mon among the American soldiers
CHARTERED on the islands. Soldiers
contract the disease by drinking
water from stagnant pools in which
the mosquitoes have laid their eggs.

pears in the form of worm in the

elephantiasis, which causes the pa
tlent terrible pains, accompanied by
a constant cough. The sufferer Is
worst at night, and the patient be-
comes a prey to insomnia.
The only remedy lies in an opera

THE TRAL nlNG OF a CHILD.
Several Important Points That Must
Be Remembered.

Be Remembered.
To teach child with success re-
quires only common sense, good judg-
ment and gentleness. There are, how.
ever, three other important points that
must ever be foremost in the mind
OF the teacher. va
First of all. she must rem ember that
to teach is to impart instruction; not
to find fault with ignorance, with lack
of comprehension, with listlessness or
with forgetfulness. Often, indeed, for
these last named faults, poor teaching
is to blame. Second, there is the
infexible rule that requires teacher
to prepare every lesson carefully be-
fore giving it, in order to present 1t
in an interesting and Ineligible way.
Third, there is the ever present dan
ger of OVERRIDING, against which the
teacher mus always be on guard.
In the beginning short lessons fire.
ouently varied give the best results.
Ten or fifteen minutes for each study
Is enough, and this time limit must
not be overstepped so long as to-
morrow represents another day.-The
