Quoting a Sunday school Here are
some of them:
THE first step is to love children and
the work
Urge punctuality and regular attend
ance. Some Of my teachers give their
scholars vacations in the summer-when
they have earned them.
My best teachers know something OF
the world and are not too 'goodygoody
Il don't believe in paid teachers any
more than l do in paid children. Those
who don't love the work should stay out
of it,"

The Milky Sea.

OF the many sights witnessed in the
oceans of the globe, one Of the most
curious and most weird is that de-
scribed by sailors as 1.-The milky sea, y
ships being surrounded for several
hours by water that appears to be OF
snowy wilderness. Compiled from ex.
periences recorded during the last 10
years, an interesting account of the
phenomenon is given on the North At
lantic and Mediterranean Pilot Chart,
published by the English meteorologi'
cal office. The spectacle is restricted
to the darkness of the night and rare
occasions, and while it is limited main
ly to the warmer waters of the trop
ical belt, it appears to be more COM
mon in the indian ocean than in the
Atlantic and Pacific. From the whito
water the light is so strong that ordi-
nary newspaper print can be read on
board ship, buth the scene all around
is of an awe-inspiring description.
The horizon is blotted out, sea and sky
seem to become one in sort OF uni
versal luminous fog; which, like
London fog, robs the observer of the
sense of distance and direction. the
deck being lit up with CHASTITY, shad-
owless light. Last June, off the west
coast of South America. a bucket OF
the white water emptied back into the
sea resembled molten lead. This GU
rious sight has interested scientific in
vestigators, but while it is, no doubt,
related to the many phosphorescent
displays common at sea. there is no
sufficient explanation forthcoming OF
this particular manifestation or Of the
singular atmospheric effects resulting
from it.

A Genuine "Pretender."

According to reports brought back
by travellers who have visited Morocco.
Mulai Mohammed, the pretender to the
throne of that country, made frequent
use OF what in an American would be
termed bluff" but which may have
been part Of the pretending" Regi-
maid Kann, who travelled across the
ton, borrowed the American word to
describe his reception.
Mulai, who asserted that he was the
elder brother of the sultan. and who
therefore regarded it as a grievance
that he had been deprived of the sue
cession, found his great strength in
the fanatic tribes of the desert He
harangued them from the Koran, and
made special use of the passage which
forbids images, while he held before
them photograph of the sultan.
Naturally in these circumstances,
Monsieur Kann. who made his way in
peril through roDber tribes armed with
a revolver and kodak. found no OPP
portunity to snapshot the pretender.
He was kept waiting week before
obtaining an interview. and in that
time caught snapshots" Of many of
the officers of the little irregular army
of a thousand men. Then Mulai. call
ing him to state reception, recited
glowing accounts of wonderful battles
won by his other armies" all Of
which were fictitious and then led
him to one side of the camp and COM
manded him to photograph row Of
prisoners" chained and bound. and
represented to be important captives.
Monsieur Kann took the picture, but,
unfortunately for the pretender's plan.
he recognized among the prisoners
many of Mulai's own officers, who had
been at liberty all the week, and whom
he had already photographed.

The Wild Pigeon.

Members from the hunting party of
the Usage reservation say they saw
wild pigeons a few days ago in flight
in the hills north of the Arkansas
river.
The disappearance of the wild pig
con from the United States. where
once it abounded in vast numbers, was
u remarkable event. and sportsmen
have never been able to learn the
cause. The persons who saw wild
pigeons in the Usage country were ia
miliar with their appearance years
ago, and are positive that the birds
were pigeons. The pigeons were seen
at different places. One hunter saw
a single pigeon in full flight south
ward and two other hunters saws two
pigeons, also flying south. 1t Is al
legged that a few wild pigeons have
been seen this fall in the Illinois marsh
lands east of St, Louis.
Sportsmen are interested in know
ing whether the pigeons in the Usage
country were natives that have re-
NAMED undisturbed in the remote hills
since early days. or whether they are
strays from South America, where the
pigeons are supposed to have gone.
One of the largest pigeon roosts in the
United States was in the Cherokee ma
ton, southeast of Tahlequah. Bar.

Ventilation and Moderate Warmth

While science is trying to determine
the most probable cause or causes OF

for the layman dogmatically to assert
that this or that condition of thing
may be held responsible for making
the malady epidemic. Yet as science
generally attributes a marked increase
In pneumonia to sudden and extreme
variations in temperature, perhaps the
Iayman may say that overheated hous-
es, Offices factories, stores, theatres,
etc, produce condition favorable to
the spread of this exceedingly danger

an outside temperature of from 20 de-
grees all the way down to zero, and
sometimes below, must subject the en-
tire body, and especially the respira-

menacing strain.
The same danger may come from
heating with stoves when a single

that even moving about inside is favor

may pave the way for pneumonia.
Thus it is that the disease carries off

who either are careful not to get over

temperatures in winter
Last week the deaths from pneu-
