WHAT CHILDREN FEAR MOST
Thunderstorms First on the List
with Ghosts Near the
Bottom.

A well.known professor has re-.
Gently made some interesting
studies with regard to the causes
Of fear in the infantile mind.
A study of fear in the youthful
subject was made by distributing
hundreds of lists containing all
manner of causes such as might
excite that emotion. Parents.
teachers and other persons-even
the little ones Themselves
marked off such items as the little
ones really feared.
After reducing all of the replies
to a table, it was found that the
highest number feared thunder
storms, the next highest reptiles.
Then follow in order, according
to the number fearing them, stran-
gers, darkness, fire, death, domes-
tic animals, diseases, wild ami
mails, water, insects, ghosts and
others.
A comparison of an equal mum
ber Of boys and girls showed that
the girls feared 1,7G5 things on
the list, and the boys /, ,106 things.
The girls exceeded the boys in the
fear of everything except water.
high places and strangers. The
ratio of girls to boys in the fear of
rats and mice was rs to 10, as
might be expected.
II was also ascertained that
fear in the boys increases from
the seventh TO the fifteenth year.
and then declines, while in girls il
increases more steadily from the
fourth to the eighteenth year be-
fore diminishing. The fear OF
thunder and lightning, reptiles,
robbers and machinery vas found
W ihcicdse Win aye.
Another novel inquiry enlarged
upon the fear Of ghosts in chill
dren. BY questioning the little
ones and tabulating their answers
ii was discovered that the most
frequent source of their knowl-
edge of ghosts was In the stories
told by other children
Stories read by them ranked |
second in frequency. OF all the
other sources servants had been
the most active. Some had de-
rived their first knowledge from |
pictures, fewer number, less /
than one per cent, had first heard |
of ghosts from their parents. 1t
was discovered that fear almost
universally accompanied belief in
such spccters.

A Good Quality of 1t Is Used by Rus
sian Officers at the
Front.

Compressed tea is common
enough in Siberia, but an un-
known commodity in this coun-
try. 1t is ordinary black tea,
which is very widely used by the
Buriats of the trans Baikal re-
gion, by whom the herb thus pre-
pared is drunk, favored with salt
and sour cream. Sugar would be
preferred, of course, but it is
either unattainable or too high
priced, costing, as it does from 20
cents to 81 a pound.
The compressed tea is of very.
good quality. just now it is of in
terest because it is used by the
Russian officers in Manchuria.
The tea is compressed by superb
modern machinery, evidence Of
which is afforded by the splendid
specimen of die-sinking on the
tablet itself. Such has been the
pressure employed that the for
merly soft and yielding leaves as
sumo the appearance of a hard
tile, which can with difficulty be
cut with a knife. As a general
rule mallet or hammer is used to
break off piece, very much as if
the tablet were Of stone.
The tea employed is straight
Suchong, which needs no cream
because nature has given it a
slightly creamy taste and also one
that is feebly saecharine, SO that
it requires less sugar than other
teas. In flavor this compressed
tea cannot be compared with the
natural herb. 1t is much flatter in
taste, but possesses the same
stimulating properties. A piece
the size of a thimble is sufi-
cient for a large, strong cup. MOI
teapot is necessary. ScaldingI
water is poured on the nugget in
cup and in few minutes the tea is
ready.
No cementing agent whatever
is used in COMPRISING high-grade
teas-not even sugared water nor
artificial heat. The little heat
that is generated in compression
starts the tannic acid in the leaves,
which is all the adhesive required
to hold the block together. A tab
let thus compressed may be ex-
posed to soaking rains with little
danger Of injury. As a general
rule, however, compressed tea is
kept in worsted bags.
The official Russian compressed
tea is not Obtainable in Europe
outside of Russia.

Of troops with superior mobility,
in both advance and retreat In
old days, when the effective range
of the long bow was not more than
18 to 20 score yards, battle
could only be decided by armies
coming to close quarters at an
early stage Of the combat.
The consequence was they be-
came so intermingled that they
could with difficulty be separated,
and, indeed, the victor was often
quite unable to feel assured Of
success until he found no more Of
his opponents to slaughter. More
over, it was much more difficult to
make effective use of cover then
thannOw, and the bowman of Agin,
court was debarred from the use
of his weapon in the prone post
tion adopted by his successor, the
riheman Of today.
The romance of war once asso-
ciated with the gallantry of hau-
berk and helm and the glittering
blazon of heraldry is a fascinating
regret at this distance of time.
But as we speak with bated breath
in these less warlike times of sci
entific ornaments and warfare,
or shiver at the reports Of "terri-
BILE" losses in the field, it will be
well to remember that we are
alarming ourselves quite unneces-
sarily, and that our warrior ances.
tors went into action with far
greater odds on their becoming
dust and their good swords rust
than does the soldier who goes up
to battle against the ad-pump-
ing weapons Of today.

maiden speech. It was in defense OF .
fellow who was half-witted, arrested on
the charge Of stealing hog, the y,,ang
attorney having been appointed by the
court.
His defense was that his Client was an
idiot, and unable to distinguish between
right and wrong. He closed Aowery
speech with this peroration:
Gentlemen of the jury, look at my
client: That low, receding forehead, those
lnsterless eyes, portend that he was de-
prlved by nature Of the power to dis
tinguish right from wrong, ignorant Of
the distinction which exists between his
own property and that of others. To
him, as to the two-year-old child, what
ever he wants and can reach belongs to
HIM. He knows neither why it does nor
Why it does not But, gentlemen of the
our free and glorious country, that my
client, idiot though he is, stands for trial
to-day by a jury Of his peers"
