Why We Have Ono sided Men


Faculties must be exercised or they
will not grow. Nature is too good an
economist to allow us to keep any
faculty or function which we do not
employ. We can have just what we
use and that will constantly increase.
Everything else will be gradually talk
en- away from us. Man becomes strong
and powerful and broad just in pro-
portion to the extent and healthfulness
of the activity of his faculties, and it
must not be one sided, not an exercise
of one or two faculties or one set of
faculties, or the man will topplc over.
Balance in life comes from the health
full exercise Of all the faculties. One
reason why we have so many one sid
ed men in this country is because
they pursue one idea, exercise one
side of their nature, and Of course
they cannot retain their balance. This
is one of the curses of specialties.
They are n good thing for the race,
but death to the individual who pur-
sues his speciality ut the expense of
the development of the all around
man.-O. s. Marden in Success Maya

OF all known meats veal is the hard
est to digest, requiring five hours and
thirty minutes. The Italians are Il
happy people. They are healthy and
hopeful. Their favorite meat is veal.
Veal in the New York markets must
weigh exactly 100 pounds to the car
cass to be perfect. That is the stand
ard Of quality and price. All sorts Of
tricks are resorted to to hit the mark
precisely. The question is, What is
best for the human race, food that re-
quires long time to digest or short
time? Roast beef is digested in three
hours. We Americans are great eat
ers Of pork, which is nearly as hard to
digest as. veal, requiring five hours
and fifteen minutes. We are nation

Schools In France.

The French system of education is
intensely national Its plan is exactly
the opposite from our own school sys-
TEN. With us the local community
controls primary schools. In France
the local community has no voice in
the matter. The French system is the
most centralized, the most strictly reg
ulated, the most autocratic and the
farthest removed from democratic
ideas of any school system in existence
The exact uniformity of the schools is
almost unbelievable. The minister of
instruction, sitting in his office in Paris,
can tell at any moment just what fable
Of La Fontaine each child of certain
age throughout the whole of France
is reciting Teachers are not allowed
any latitude at all. The result is to
leave both teachers and scholars al
most completely lacking in mental
originality.-F. A. Vanderbilt in Serb

His parents were poor, his father be-
ing country innkeeper. One day
Lord Shaftesbury's father and mother
stopped ut the inn, having their young
er son, the future lord, with them. In
conversation the innkeeper spoke of
the genius of his boy in drawing and
wished them to test 1t by n picture OF
their son. They assented, thinking to
crafty n fathers pride, but not look
ing for any evidence of superior talent
The boy came In modestly, with chalk
and paper, and in few minutes had
drawn picture of their son on which
the parents looked with wonder. They
recognized the genius and the promise
Of future greatness and befriendcd the
young artist, giving him the help need

from the juice of the sago palm, which
