Grammar of the Home.

In many families the education OF
the children is committed almost ex-
clusively to the schools, and this suf-
ficiently accounts for the atrocious err
rors of speech often noted In circles
where we might expect better things.
It matters not how faithful the teach
err may be, the child will inevitably
initiate the language heard at home
and forget the instruction of the
school. When the child hears incor-
rect language in the family and i'm
bibes it freely from vicious books he
is probably going to speak ungram-
matically as long as he lives. A
writer on the educational process says
that the years from eight to twelve
constitute the habit-forming period.
"This is the time to break the human
colt, in some sense the widest of ami
mails Errors in the use of the moth
er tongue adopted during this time
are difficult to correct.

COMFORT FOR BIG EATERS
Famous Old Men Who Always In
dulged in Good Square
Meals.

The man with good appetite has a
hard time nowadays. All the faddists
are shouting that he eats too much.
If he doesn't jump at the chance OF
fasting 40 days he is snubbed. And
if he doesn't joyously cut out two OF
his quondam three meals day he
is scorned.

gave him hope recently by telling
about famous old men who had been
hearty eaters.

spring vegetables and new potatoes.
AS he insisted on them being passed
around the table, which was spread
for many disciples, admirers, hangers
on, they must have cost him a small
fortune.
Asparagus, which cost rs cents and
more a stalk, was often served, Hugo
always taking generous helping and
then calling for more. He arranged
the stalks circularly on his plate, with
the points inward like the spokes OF
wheel, and placed the sauce in the
middle in round space left vacant for
it. This arrangement was always
symmetrical He disliked to see a

RECORD OF THE COURTS.

No case of any particular interest to the public has engaged the attention of the courts for so far this week. The testi- mony in the case of W. R. Sells vs, Ala bama Steel and Wire company was fin- ished yesterday and the arguments of counsel begun. Much of the testimony in this case was of the nature of expert testimony tending to show the cause of explosions in coal mines. The opinion has been expressed by many lawyers that the publication of testimony in book form would materially help to prevent such dis asters as that of the Virginia mines.

Valuable Bones Found In Texas.

Fl Paso. Tex, October 3o.-Walter E.. Koch, a fellow of the Geological society of London, and G. B. Richardson of the United States geological survey in ex- cavations here, have unearthed jawbones of two tapirs, supposed to have existed here 25.000 years ago, and an elephant s tooth, from an animal which probably lived about 12,000 years ago. The discov- cry of the bones proves, the geologlsts say, that this great desert region once was a jungle. Tapirs live on roots along river banks and elephants would not have been here unless it had been marshy
