hedges the justices officially operates
also as barrier to their households.
Though the Executive Mansion, the
Cabinet residences and the homes and
boarding places of the Senators and
Representatives are all, on some oc-
casions, accessible to the public, the
doors of the Supreme Court circle, in
common with those of the diplomatic
corps, rarely swing open to either the
socially ambitious or the mildly Gu
rious.
Without exception the justices are
profound students, and several of
them are we'll known to be fonder of
the heroes of history and literature
than of the men of today. They have
little time for recreation, and still less
tor leisure. The chief justice finds
his highest pleasure in his own home,
surrounded by his children and grand

Gas BOLD AS A LION"

1ne only explanation OF the aQage,
Gas bold as lion." is that the
lions magnificent, muscular body,
his noble head, great name, the fact
that he is a wild beast and-still more
probably-his deep throated roar that
sounds so extraordinarily bold have
made him feared for generations. But
the lion belongs to the family of cats
and is not bold. To those who know
best he is not brave even in the hour
of danger. The lioness, who is small
er, less terrible to look upon and is
without a name, is brave in defense
of her young, but she, too, is not
bold. She is merely bolder than the
lion. In comparison with any animal
that can face danger and fight fair"
the lion is coward. To prove it let
us see for moment how it is that
the lion chooses to hunt his prey.
The lion does not hunt. In the
reeds and grasses near some pool in
the jungle he lies hidden where he
knows that other animals will go to
drink. Cat-like, he leaps upon his
victim, striking it with his powerful
paws. Then his great jaws break the
neck of the unfortunate creature he
has taken by surprise, and the lion
boldly carries off the carcass to devour
it where he will. The folk who live
on the outskirts of jungles in the lions
country sometimes lose their sheep
and goats when hungry lion can
muster courage to go near human
habitation in his search for food. He
goes at night and stealthily. Who
knows but that his heart goes pit-a
pat and his big limbs tremble at every
sudden noise? The natives of India
and of Africa know, however, that
they can frighten away thieving
lion by fire and torches. cornered
and forced to fight he will do battle
savagely, but he doesn't seek an open
fight, and any traveller will tell you
that as rule the "king of beasts"
bolts on sighting a man."
To be as bold as a partridge-as
brave, unselfsh, daring heroic, as a
partridge-is something one might
be proud to boast. No lion defends
its young with tie courage of part
ridge. The lioness at bay will turn
in defense of her cubs, will fight the
enemy, will spring at him furiously;
the partridge will leave its little ones
quite unprotected in the nest, or wher
ever they may be in hiding, and will
offer herself to spare them. 1t is not
the unthinking heroism of excite
ment. The bird knows what she is
doing and the danger. She schemes
to attract attention to herself, but she
manages to lead the dogs on, and she
escapes. Weat least have never heard
anything in the life history of the
partridge so sad as that the mother
bird has been taken at that supreme

TRAINING THE SIGHT.

So much of the happiness and sue
cess of life depends upon the seeing
capacity that it is both a wonder and
a pity that more attention is not paid
by the parents in the home and by
instructors in the schools to the per-
fecting of this gift.
The trouble is that the great ma
jority of people regard the capacity of
the eyes as something fixed at birth
and not to be interfered with. If
they would think little they would
recognize that it is, after all, largely
matter of exercise and practice.
They know that the power of the
muscles is capable of almost indefinite
training, but they fail to apply the
principle to the eyes. All forms of
exercise are called upon to increase
and strengthen the muscular system
Of growing children, and the wisdom
of this, always granting reasonable
moderation, is never questioned /; but
the child with the weak, undeveloped
visual faculty, with the unframed
color sense, with the carrying capaci-
ty of the sight limited to few feet,
is called stupid and his best hope is
that he may be fitted with glasses be-
fore he is rallied and scolded into real
stupidity.
The sight can be aducated and ex-
ercised just as truly as the hearing,
the sense of touch, or even the leg
and arm muscles can and the work,
which can easily be converted into
play, should be begun very early in
life. Much so-called color blindness
is not radical defect of vision at all,
but lack Of training in attention and
recognition, and could have been
avoided by any form of simple half
play, half.lesson, with colored balls
or skeins of silk in early childhood.
Matching colors is an excellent game
lesson. 1t can be carried on with silks,
wools, paper or any other material in
which it is possible to get many shades
with very small gradations of color
among them. Certain of the educa-
tional supply houses furnish colored
papers for this very purpose. An ele-
ment of competition can be introduc-
ed, and the power of vision can be
trained at the same time with that
esthetic sense which is its greatest re-
ward.
Rapidity of vision can be enormous
ly developed. Most persons know
the story of the conjurer whose father
made him while small boy play the
game of naming the objects in some
shop-window passed at quick walk.
II one will try this he will be astound-
ed at the way the number of objects
seen in the glimpse will grow with
practice.
As with other forms of exercise,
that of the eye should be taken only
under proper conditions. A tired,
Worn.out eye should not be forced TO
worn out body. This is why the pro-
cess cannot be started too soon, that
the eye may be insensibly trained to
good habits of perception. YOUTHS

A DOZEN COUNTRY EGGS.

She was an energetic lady whose
adage is "Save the pennies and the
dollars will take care of themselves. "
Not long ago she decided that hard
boiled eggs would be a pleasant di-
version from meat for light supper,
and promptly bought dozen 'best
eggs" from the corner grocery. She
gave the proper directions to the maid
and went out on the stoop, happy in
the consciousness that the supper was
planned for one day at least. But
her attention was soon attracted by
huckster's wagon in which was
huge box of eggs.
"How much 7" she asked, and was
astonished at the reply, eighteen
cents-and country eggs at that"
Being quick to act where money
matters were concerned, she bought
a dozen eggs at IS cents, and deliver
ing them to the maid, instructed that
the others be put carefully back i'll
the same paper bag in which they had
come and taken over to the grocery.
"And tell him, please, to give you
back twenty cents" she added,
sweetly.
However, it was scarcely more than
an hour later that the grocery man
came around himself and rang the
front door bell viciously.
"Well, ma am" he said, "here are
your eggs.
'But I sent them back" she said.

comes back and says she'd like to
know what l mean by selling her

Mrs. Blank produced her pocket
book. "Of course,' she said, "I'll
take the eggs" and she handed him
twenty cents.
"But them eggs is worth more
than twenty cents now," answered
the imperturbable grocer. "The eggs
is boiled now, and I ought to charge

1 think them eggs is worth fifty cents,
but I'll give 'em to you for thirty"
Mrs. Blank sighed as she produced

not always the better part of wisdom
to be too economical, she thought.
