and which Is still undoubtedly fresh

prepared" students whose equip
ment embraced more knowledge but
less wisdom.
We pleadfor less pressure on bud
ding minds. Even adults in our day
are often wickedly overworked, but
the adult is supposed to have enough
knowledge of his own Strength not to
oyerdo. The child on the contrary
does not know the limitations OF his
powers and is in greater danger Of be-
ing overburdened. Then something
snaps, and it Is too late to help.
OF course 1t is the fashion for par
ents to get rid Of their children by
packing them of to school as soon as
they can toddle. This throws on the
teachers a heavy responsibility which
rightfully belongs on the parents and
which they should not be allowed to
evade.
OF the two classes, parents and
children, believe parents are In the
greater need OF education. see little
to complain Of in the intelligence dis
played by children, but parental ig-
norancc is greater death cause than
pneumonia is, though the staticians
never mention 1t.
But parents are ncorrigible and the
dullest pupils in the world. 1t is for
this reason partly that education
seems to bring such meager results.
If the parents would again come to
realize their duty to their children as
they once did, instead of shifting 1t
on TO the public school system and
running off after false gods, what
might not be done? True co-opera.

and the Dominion Of Canada. Some
OF the Canadian people and papers
talked rather savagely. There was
every opportunity for a misstep on
the part Of the United States. A lit
tie too much buster, little too pro-
nounced brag, failure ip tact at the
proper moment, substitution OF
timidity for bravery, or Of rashness
for conservatism by Theodore Roose-
welt would have famed the feeling In
Canada into dangerous fame. The
Alaska boundary was an inheritance
from the Mckinley administration,
but 1t was safely settled under Roose-
welt, settled to the credit OF the Unit
ed States, settled without the loss OF
an inch Of American territory, and
settled, too, without the destruction
OF the friendly feeling between Great
Britain and the United States.
When Germany and England were
at the throats Of the little republic OF
Venezuela, an unsafe President might
easily have involved us in war with
those two countries, and timid Pres
ident might easily have brought upon
the flag the shame of the rest of the
world. Russia and Japan have been
at war. The sentiment of the people
in this country has been largely in
favor of Japan. Yet John Hay, the
wise and discreet Secretary of State,
appointed by Mckinley and unhesi.
tatingly retained by Roosevelt, has SO
successfully directed the course OF
American diplomacy that the United
States today is as much the friend OF
Russia as it is the little tighting-cock,
Japan. The United States, in fact
has dictated the diplomatic conduct o
hostilities between Russia and Japan
This country has dominated the sit
uation, and yet at no time has there
been the slightest danger that w
might become embroiled with any
foreign nation.

HAD HIS EXCUSE PAT.
Small Boy Remembered His Fathers
Exclamation.

Small Boy Remembered His Fathers
Explanation.
Jackson Is small boy of some 8 or
9 years Of age, whose father is very
anxious to make a Scholar of him.
Jacksons tastes do not seem to run
in the same channel, and, consequent
ly, when the monthly report is sent
home, his average is usually in the
70s, with conduct marked very poor.
Finding that counter-irritation did not
produce the desired result, his father
made game Of him In every conceiv-
able manner, telling him that he
would never amount to anything II he
did not do better work. His remarks
on these occasions became so often
sive to the child who was rather SEN
sitive and did not relish the idea OF
being ridiculed in the presence OF
his brother and sister, that he SAID to
his father the last time he brought
home report:
Father, why do you talk to me like
this and make SO much fun of met"
His father replied: jackson, II
did not know you were capable of do
ing better work, or IL l thought you
were dumb, ] would never say a cross
word to you about your marks"
Last week Jackson handed in a re.
port with the usual low average, and
before pater familias could start in on
the usual language. spoke up very
quickly and said:
Father. I'm dumb!"-Boston Post.

or Daniel Boone he says: Boone
was neither tall nor a thin man.
He was not angular nor bony His
frame was covered not with cloying
fat, but with firm and easily playing
muscles, and he carried none Of the
useless tissue OF the man OF civiliza-
ton. His weight was about ITS
pounds Audubon, who met HIM late
in his life, says: He approached the
gigantic In stature. His chest was
broad and prominent and his muscu-
lar powers were visible In every limb.
His countenance gave indication OF
his great courage, enterprise and per-
severance Yet in person Boone did
not quite reach the six-foot mark,
but was just below hve feet and ten
inches In stature. some say Ave feet
eight" inches being therefore of ex-
actly that build which good judges OF
men esteem to be most desirable for
combined strength, activity and en-
durance. He was rather broad shout

nicely overhung his hips. All agree
that he was Of robust and powerful
proportions

Personal Attacks.

When the bitter personal attacks on
Theodore Roosevelt are analysed, and
when democratic agitator is asked
to define his opposition to the Prcsi-
dent the inevitable reply is that
Roosevelt is an unsafe man."
Now, is he?
What makes an unsafe man? When
is man safe and when is he danget-
Gus? How are we to judge man
oy what he has done or by what some
one SAYS he may do? Are we justified
in calling man unsafe who has all
his life been eminently safe? Is not
a man entitled to the reputation he
makes for himself?
For three years Theodore Roosevelt
has had absolute power, as President
Of the United States, and yet during
that three years, although called to
the great Office suddenly, as the result
Of horrible murder, he has never
lost his head. Hes has never done a
dangerous thing, he has at no time in
volved the country In difficulties,
either at home or abroad.
Immediately following the murder
of William Mckinley predictions were
freely made in the Democratic press
that President Roosevelt would in
volve the country in war. Has he
done so?
1t was also freely predicted that he
would break with the republican ma
jority in the House and the Senate,
and that he would insist on having
his own way, disregardng the advice
OF the time-honored leaders of the
party. Has he done so?
Does not every one know, on the
contrary, that the conditions Of peace
between the United States and the
world were never more securely an
chored than today? This has not
been because the President has not
had All opportunity to go to war
There have been half dozen sucl
opportunities at the very least since
he became President, when, II he hat
been the unsafe man he was alleged Il
be, he might easily have involved us ir
war with one or more OF the great
powers of Europe. He has met every
diplomatic emergency with rough ant
ready diplomacy and extraordinar,
tact, which have won for the United
States the respect of the civilized
world.
Look over the record of the State
Dep artment under Theodore Roose

how much has been accomplished t

Good Advice.

If lynching were ever justifable IL
would be in the case of a parent who
pushes a child in his studies. Norbert
Weiner, the 9-year-old son OF Prof.
Leo Winer of Harvard, is ready'to en-
ter that great university the book
learning basis. He is well prepared
in Latin and Greek, higher mathema-
tics, the sciences, etc. True, his eye
sight has been injured in the cram
ming process, but what does that
matter?
Talk about child-labor laws! What
we need Is a law that will take intelli-
gent and well-to-do parents by the
nape of the neck and shake some COM
mon sense into them when they set
out to slowly kill their children by
forcing their minds. What does the
gain Of year or two, or even 10 years,
stolen from the childhood Of boy or
girl signify?
Better let the child develop ration
ally all round during his natural in
fancy, up to full maturity; tie ma
ture mind can grasp subject In a
fraction of the time the immature
mind requires. You can force the
child mind to do astonishing stints,
but is the child freak to be exhibit
ed for the wonderment of Others, like
an educated pig?
In most cases the forced child will
die of, or suffer later from arrested
development and have to repay with
compound interest for the vitality
that wasspent so recklessly in max
ing him show of while undeveloped.
God knows how many fine minds are
snapped and ruined by this overload
ing system. Bear in mind 1t Is the

be so afraid OF overworking a dull

DOOR OF VARIOUS RACES.
Marked Difference Between the 90.
eidentai and Oriental.

Able Hue tells In his account OF his
travels in China that when he had 80
completely mastered the Chinese Ian
guage, and SO transformed his per-
sonal appearance that he passed for q
native Of the country. he could not de-
ceive the dogs, which detected him
by their sense of smell and invariably
barked at him as he passed by. He
further states that the musky odor
which may be observed in articles i'm
ported from China pervades the whole
country and is one of the distinctive
marks of the Chinese race. A jap
anese doctor of medicine returns the
compliment on the behalf OF the orr.
entail by declaring that the occidental
races have an odor which is not agree
able to the Asiatics, though In pro

Scientific Rubber Production.
The production Of rubber from the
Ficus Elastica in Upper Burma, As.
sam, and the Netherlands, is being
rar'dly increased. The seed OF the
Ficus Elas''ca, when the tree grows
naturally N the forest, terminates al
most invariably In the forks of trees
thirty to forty feet above the surface
OF the ground, and the young trees
grow in consequence for some six to
ten years as epiphytes, after which the
aerial roots reach the ground, and in
crease In size until some of them
reach girth of from four to six feet
1t frequently happens that the trees
on which the rubber seeding first ger
minated is killed by the more vigorous
growing Ficus Elastica.
