Koran an Important Part Of System
Of Education.
In the acquisition of the Egyptian
boys education, the Koran plays the
most important part; it is, in fact, the
foundation of all instruction given. It
must, first of all. be committed to
memory; and the pupil is taught to
read and write each portion as fast
as it is memorized. AS a mental slim
ulus-in the case of juvenile scholars
Ia palm branch, judiciously admins
tered. may take the place of our more
familiar birch rod. While the major
ity of the students do not pursue their
studies more than five or six years,
yet many remain much longer, fitting
themselves for the duties of doctor,
lawyer or ruler of their countrymen.
No boy may be admitted before the
age of 8, but, on the other hand, ad-
vanced age is no bar to entrance; so,
If 1t pleases him, the man of mature
years may con his tasks beside a
youthful classmate. AS a rule, it is
only the boy of the upper class who
is able to avail himself Of a prolonged
course of study, The poor boy must
early in life take up the struggle for
existence.-Four-Track News.

wILD-soAR HUNT IN JAPAN.
Savage Animals Provide Good Sport
for Hunters.

"Shoji's quietude has just been dis
furbed by a big wild-boar hunt" says a
Japanese paper. Lately the cold
weather has driven the wild boars
down near the villages. The other day
a party OF hunters routed out seven
or eight boars on the hills. A hunter
named Krahei wounded one Of the
unsightly creatures and the animal
started down the hill to upset things
generally. Reaching the tiny village
OF Furuseki, he rushed through a -four
mill and attacked a oma who was
cleaning wheat in a shed hard by,
injuring her somewhat badly. A farm
err named Ito Kunichiro, hearing the
woman's cry for help. rushed to her
assistance and struck the boar with
his mattock. thus drawing the ami
mails attention to himself. The noise
now drew others to the spot and whom
the hunters reached the village they
found that the peasants had succeeded
In giving the boar his quietus, and
that a huge feast was in store for all"

Lesson In Addition.

Now" said the teacher by way Of
explanation, you can't add apples and
pears together and get just apples or
pears and you can't add marbles and
nuts and get just marbles"
At this moment a long, lean arm
shot up from one of the back seats.
The arm belonged to --, who was
the son of a milkman.
"Well?" asked the teacher.
The little fellow stood up by his
desk and composed his countenance
as best he could. 81 know of two

.%aIonraphy Of a PIn.

When Haitkerus Hogg was a lad
His condition was sad;
He always had more than he wanted
He always wished more than he had.
When Hogg was a man he essayed
The calling OF barter and trade, w
Where he always made more than he
needle
But always craved more thar he made.
So he started a financial bluff,
And cornered a pile of the stuff'-
His share was enough in all conscience,
But he never could stop with enough.
AT last with Incorporate zeal
He worked a political deal;
Was caught in a shady transaction,
Arrested and tried for the steal.
Poor Hogg was convicted. Unnerved,
A seven-year sentence he served
At last he got more than he wanted -
Which was less than he really deserved.

HERolsM IN EVERYDAY LIFE.

There Displayed in Higher Form Than
on the Battlefield.
Prof. William James of Harvard uni
versity relates that upon a certain
Journey he was questioning with him
self whether or not the higher hero
ism of life was passing out of human
society; and that at the very moment,
he looked from the car window and
suddenly got sight of a number OF
workmen performing some task on the
dizzy ledge of an iron construction at
a great height, says Success. This at
once brought to his mind a n Of
the everyday bravery of men in every
day occupations. 1t flashed upon him
on the instant that the true heroism
of life is found not only on the day
of battle and in desperate adventures,
but also in building every bridge, or
in the ordinary day-by-day service of
the world, whether of the sailor upon
his deck, the brakeman upon his train.
the lumberman upon his raft, or wher-
ever else men are at work. "As
awoke to this unidealized heroic life
around me-" he says, the scales
seemed to fall from my eyes, and a
wave of sympathy greater than | had
ever before felt with the common life
