An Athletic Cabinet.

The new British cabinet is made up
of young men, comparatively speak
ing, the average age being So. The
average in President Roosevelt's cabi-
net is 81. All the men chosen by
Campbell-Bannerman are strong in the
matter of outdoor sports. Gladstone
is president of the National Physical
Recreation society. Asquith, like Bal
four, is a golf enthusiast. Burns is
an expert boxer, cricket player and
oarsman. Grey is an authority on fly
fishing. Reid is football champion
at Oxford. Burrell is a crack pedes-
trian and golf player Crewe hunts,
shoots and races horses and Bryce is
seldom happier than when he is fishing
or climbing mountains.

Around the Preside or about the we'll
lighted family reading table during the
winter evenings the children and grown
ups can play with their wits and see how
many words can be made.
20 people making the greatest number
of words will each receive little box
containing $1,000 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box con-
tanning $500 gold piece.
300 people will each win a box con-
tanning $1.00 in paper money and one
person who makes the highest number
of words over all contestants will receive
a box containing $4,000 in gold.
It is really a most fascinating bit OF
fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added.
A few rules are necessary for absolute
fair play.
ANY word authorized by WebsteT's
dictionary will be counted, but no name
of person. Both the singular and plural
can be used, as for instance grape" and
grapes"
The letters in "Y-I-O-G Grape Nuts"
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with A to-
gether and those beginning with e to
come under E, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, in the A, E, and
other columns to fill in later as new
words come to you, for they will spring
into mind every evening.
1t is almost certain that some contest
ants will tie with others. In such cases
a prize identical in value and character
with that offered in that class shall be
awarded to each. Each one will be re-
uuested to send with the list OF words a
plainly written letter describing the ad-
vantages of Grape-Nuts, but the contest
ant is not required to purchase pkg.
These letters are not to contain poetry, or
fancy flourishes, but simple, truthful
statements of fact. For illustration: A
person mayhave experienced some incip-
lent or chronic ails traceable to unwlse
selection of food that failed to give the
body and brain the energy, health and
power desired. Seeking better conditions
a change in food is made and Grape-Nuts
and cream used in place Of the former
diet. Suppose one quits the meat, fried
potatoes, starchy, sticky messes OF half
cooked oats or wheat and cuts out the
coffee. Try, say, for breakfast, bit of
fruit, dish of Grape-Nuts and cream,
two soft-boiled eggs, a slice Of hard toast
and cup of Postum Food Coffee. Some

girl with flower. GROUP 81 The hill
begins high and runs aimlessly down
an undetermined distance. The house.
the tree and the girl, also started well
up are strung along the line. They do
not occupy the space, and stop because
no more space was necessary in the
child's mind. To the child it seemed
that it had enumerated all the facts in
tended, and that was all that could be
desired. 1t had thought of them as SO
many separate objects. 1t had not
thought of them as a collection of OBJ
jects, for it possessed no concentration
of mental vision.
see the same story with the childish
character preserved, given with concen-
tration and regard for proportion.
There is no fact missing, but the pic
ture is seen as whole, as a collection
of facts stated at once, and not as a
number of separate objects told one at
time. Show the child that this picture
loses none of the objects it wished to
express, and that it is a more concise
statement. Perhaps it can be made TO
see that it has more beauty, but that is
questionable. 1t will slowly try to imi
tate if you give it its own ideas in bet
ter way by example. The child cannot
understand such vague qualities as pro-
portion, but it can see that one picture
is better than another.
Rules for Teacher.
A word or two to the teacher on the
placing of objects in their space may
be of use to him, though the child should
not be confused by such problems. The
object which by height, size, interest,
or quality is the principal object in the
picture may occupy a place near the
center-the nearness to the center being
governed by the relative Importance
of what other object disputes it's inter-
est. (Note the upper right-hand ar
rangement in the illustrations on pro-
portion as had placement and the lower
center as good.)
1t will be better to study the arrange
ments that will be given with each SET
of picture forms than to take this rule
concerning placement as an invariable
one. So many considerations of color,
balance, ETC., come up in each compost
ton that the rule would be of uncertain
use without the knowledge of the ex-
ceptions that govern it. 1t is given as
a general aid, as is the rule for balance,
which follows:
When one object is placed to one side
of the center it demands another object
on the other side to preserve the sense
of pictorial equilibrium or balance.
In the three drawings included in
Group 3 the balancing point is evident
These qualities are spoken of that the
teacher in his own efforts may have
something to which he can refer when
his own arrangements seem out of COM
position for any reason. He should not
work with them in mind so much as
he should use the rules subsequently
to correct and aid. 1t is quite important
that the child should not be hampered
by any rules of negative character.
To tell the child not to do this and not
to do that in its arrangements is not
helping it. Have it accept all sugges-
lions and rules as positive. Let the ex-
ceptions and negatives come later. 1t
should learn its picture expression as it
learned its speech. The single words
first, then the combinations and long
afterward the grammar.

Notifying.

There arc few solvent and respectable
persons left in the country who have not
vet been investigated. 1t begins to be
embarrassing to a high soul not to have
been found out. We are all miserable
sinners. The prayer book says SO. To
have from a third to half of our friends
caught IN some of their sins while ours
continue private is conducive to self-con-
tempt. 1t would be fairer to serve us out
one suit of sackcloth apiece and ring IN
a general confession.--Life.

Old Ideas of Light, Heat and Electric
ity Controverted by Fa-
nous Chemist.

The great Russian chemist, Prof.
Mendeleef, discoverer of the famous
perioric law of the elements, has con-
tributed to the new Russian Encyclo-
paedic Dictionary remarkable paper,
in which he deals with the ether. A
translation of this article, printed in
Nature, will be of supreme interest to
all physicists. In opposition to some
recent thinkers, Mendeleef insists that
matter IS not a mode of force or mo-
ton, but that substances (masses)
and phenomena (movements) must be
recognized as two separate categories,
such as space and time, the substance
of which our thought has not yet pene-
trated, but without which it cannot
work" The ether of space he regards
as matter, resembling argonorthelium,
in having no power of chemical COM
bination; it must also possess ex-
tremely low density and great rapidity
of molecular motion. In order that the
ether may escape from the sphere Of
attraction of stars so times as great as
the mass of the sun it must have an
atomic weight not more than 100000
000,O53. The very small value of this
figure explains why there is little hope
of isolating the substance of the ether
in the near future, and it also explains
why it penetrates all substances" We
have got rid of the old ideas of light,
heat and electricity being impondera-
bles, and now, Mendeleef considers,
1--WE can say with certainty that the
luminiferous ether, if it be real, is
ponderable, although it cannot be
weighed, just as air cannot be weighed
in air or water in water"
