As 10 Kind of Cars.

Regarding the kind OF car that must
be run the bill says;

The Walls of Jericho.

Prof. Sellin's excavations on the
site of the ancient city of Jericho
are yielding unexpected rich treas
ures. In his last letters to the Vienna
Academy of Science the professor
writes that over a hundred men are
digging at five different points. One
OF the most interesting finds is the his
torical city wall, built of burnt lime
bricks. 1t was some ten feet in
thickness, rising from stone founda-
ton. On the western side of the
city the wall was nearly 40 feet in
width. At another point a private
house was found built over another
house of still earlier epoch. Other
discoveries include lamps, plates, cups,
needles, weights, mortars and mills
of bronze and stone, some of rough
and primitive handwork, and others
finely executed. In the inner city
remains of rows of houses have been
uncovered. The ancient Hebrew let
tering proves that the old Hebrew
characters We're in use. Prof Sellin
hopes to renew the excavating work
next winter. In the meantime he
says that the work already done has
opened up a wealth of material for
the student of the pre-Israelite and
Canaanite period.

queen, and was followed by many
smiles and handwriting when she
left.
Across the aisle and farther Up sat
a weak, spiritless-looking mother with
restless clu4d. AS -.e lifted him for
greater comfort to her shoulder the
bright catches of the curtain of the
window caught his eyes. His fingers
grasped them eagerly.

Alone" said the mother sharply, Civ
ing Johnny little jerk. But Johnny
profiting y past experiences, ignored
the jerk and continued to amuse him
self with the pretty bits OF metal.
Twice and thrice was the admonitlon
repeated, all to the same effect, when
suddenly as he CHANGED to manipulate
the catches with both hands stimuli
taneously the shades flew up with a
rattle and snap that caused the
mother to start violently and Johnny
to fall, frightened and screaming
back into her lap. Shakes, slaps and
caJoling failed alike to assuage his
grief, and his cries assailed our ears
continuously until arrived at my des.
tination.
When mother teaches a child
obedience she teaches him not. only
to comply with her wishes, but to be
dutiful and respectful to her and to
others, to be regardful of her right
and OF the rights of others. All of
this is worth much careful considera-
ton. When child has learned the
meaning of obedience mother shout /,
not tax his strength too heavily. To
demand obeulence is her prerogative,
but she need not abuse it. AS every
restriction she places upon him seems
to his childish mind a deprivation,
she should be slow in her judgments.
Where cniId is Intentionally dis.
obedient no pains should be spared to
correct the fault If the child he old
enough to reason, mother should
not fail to place the moral side of the
question before him and then let the
thing acquired by his disobedienca
provide, possible, the means or
punishment. pleasure gained NAV
often be deprived of its sweetness by
the loss of some other that might

forming this new laboratory was the
knowledge of the average state of de-
velopment of children of all ages-an
entirely new idea in pedagogics, and
one which | imagine will prove to be
very fruitful. What my assistants
and | set ourselves to find out, in
strictly scientific manner, was the
physical and mental value of the aver
age child at various ages. Once hav-
ing discovered this, we draw up tables
of averages and it is thanks to these
that we are able to make prescrip-
lions so definitely whenever a fresh
subject arrives at our laboratory of
experimental psychology.
I'VE are able, for instance, to say:
This boys growth is retarded.
Though II years of age, he has only
the development of child of 8. He
will require special attention and
special nourishment. This other schol-
ar, on the contrary, is physically in
advance of his age. He is more mus
cular, taller and stronger than a boy

while fourth is emotional and ner-

calculating; the other, imaginative If
the most is to be made out of them in
later life, they must be educated diff
ferently. Now, don't you think that
schoolmasters would be very glad to
learn how to study their pupils in this
way? Don't you think that it is some
times advisable to consult doctor on
delicate points concerning a pupils
health? Don't you think that parents
would be grateful If such an interest
as we show here were universally
taken in their children's welfare?
Don't you think that society would
benefit enormously if similar labora-
tories to ours were opened in connec-
ton with every communal school in
the land?'

events from him, draws a film over
them, as IL were. His mind there
upon reverts to the past and without
any particular volition on his part
scene after scene is presented to him
and person after person whom he
has known seems almost at his hand.
He says that the order is never the
+same-that sometimes his thoughts
are irresistibly drawn to his child
hood. sometimes to his college life,
sometimes to later years.
THE point of it is that he cannot
direct his recollection at will, and this
is the stranger because he is a man
of considerable strength of will. He
must take them as they come. Once,
he told me, he tried with the utmost
earnestness to think of his parents,
the time of a year bringing an ami
mately connected. But no use; he
could scarcely get clear mental pic
lures of them. His brain appeared
to be so relaxed during these periods
of rest that he must yield himself to
whatsoever visions come to him. In
his business hours he is far from be-
ing dreamer, but that hidden side
of his nature asserts supremacy when
the ocean casts its spell upon him.
There is fascination about such
reveries, this fascination that attends
any experience the end of which is
shrouded in mystery. My friend does
not know where these mental voyages
will carry him, or, indeed, so he as
sures me, even the direction that they
will take. 1t is all on the lap of the
gods, as he says. l wonder If his
experience is unusual, or whether
