CLERGY WOULD
STOP STREET
BEGGING
Seek Most Desirable Way
in Which Church May
Assist the Worthy Poor.

An effort will be made to put a stop to
street begging. The question was dis
cussed at a meeting il the Newark Confer
enre Of Charities and Correction last night
In the Public Library. How Can a
Church Best Give Relief?' was another
subject. Nearly all of the churches in the
city were represented at the meeting.
The registry system for the aid OF TINS
worthy being operated by the Bureau OF
Associated Charities was the chief SUD
Jec;t Of discussion. The Rev. w. Y. Chap
man. of the Roseville Presbyterian Church,
presided.
The Rev. DIR. william II. Morgan SAID
that in his experience some method or
keeping track of families whom the
church was helping was an apsolute
necessity, to prevent some from get
ting more than their share. while
others were going without. He spoke
of a specific case where a family was
aided by three or four organizations ana
churches, neither knowing tnat the
other was interested. lie did not dis
coyer the fact until Thanksgiving
p9v. when he visited the house and
found hat three me had been sent
there.
THE registry system, he said. would
helm to do away with cases like this.
If each church or charitable organiza-
ton would send the names OF lis de-
to the bureau, where they
could be Kept on file. there would be
no excuse for overlapping and more
eHective work would result,
Father Edward F.. Quirk, assistant
uastor Of ST. Joseph's Catholic Church.
agreed with Or, Morgan. While In
his own denomination help was
given by the church only in its
own parish, so that there was less con-
fusion, he expressed himself as anxious
TO work with the other churches In the
work OF registration. st. Joseph's
Church, he said. was the first to send
names to the bureau,
The question was raised as to
whether IL would not be the best thing

sl1perintendent Clemens. Of the lodging
bouse at 81 plane street, said that was
the intention OF his mission. but that
al present the house was overcrowded.
and he had been forced to turn many
applicants away.
The meeting adjourned after the
rev. John Mcdowell, pastor of the
park Presbyterian Church, had ex-
pressed the hope that Arthur W. Nc
pouEall,l secretary of the. Bureau OF
Associated Charities, would see his
way to remain In this city, instead OF
going to Philadelphia, as ne hap IN

THE HUMAN THROAT.
II Hss . sort OF Lfttle Brain That
Controls Ito Actions.

II HRs = Sort of Little Brain That
Controls Ito Actions.
Did you know that the throat has a
brain of its own? Few people are
aware Of 1t, but it's fact. There is u
small ganglia which exercises direct
control OF the muscles Of the throat
and acts as its brain. OF course 1t is
subservient TO the genuine brain, but
at the same time does good deal of In
dependent thinking for itself. 1t Is
very timid and suspicious of any
strange objects that come near the
throat
For this reason II Is very difficult for
a physician TO operate on the throat
Before anything can be done in this dl-
rection it is necessary for the operator
to gain the confidence OF the little brain
that dominates it. It frequently takes
weeks before this confidence can be
secured, and until it is secured 1t Is
impossible to perform an operation.
Woo to the man who attempts rough
treag mt to the throat before gaining
the little brains confidence. His oper-
atoms will be resented with violent
paroxysms, first Of the throat, then Of
the diaphragm, and, II the operator still
persists, the patient viii be thrown
Into. commissions. SuIl more curious Is
the fact that this little brain has
memory, and II once frightened in this
way 1t Is almost impossible to ever
gain its confidence, no matter how
gentle the operator may be.

Children should early be taught the
proper way to open and hold book.
All heavy books require especial care.
When too heavy for the hand, they
Shonld rest on table or a stand.
No one ever should be allowed to
lean upon an open book. The books
that can be handled without effort
should be allowed to rest with their
backs in the palm Of the hand while
one is reading. This, Of course, applies
to books with fine bindings.

at least one Bible and one copy of
Shakespeare as indispensable furnish

Any standard book Of prose and poet.
ical quotations comes next in impor-
lance in the family library. A book of
English synonyms follows in order Of
desirability.
Popular nature books are delightful,
particularly where there are children
to enjoy the information about stars
and plants and animals.
The children should be taught how
to use reference books, to look up
meanings, spelllngs, places. and so en-.

IHsEN,s PARADOX.
cad the Iatimate relation Of science
TO society,


Ihsen.. my great compatriot, has in
Ine of his works formulated the para
Cox that the man is strongest who
stands most alone. There is certainly
some truth In tfIis-nay, there Is much
truth in II so far as science is con-
cerned. The man who In the search
for truth goes his way independently
Of other men and of other considera-
tons Is certainly the man who is apt
to find the greatest and most valuable
truth. On the other hand, 1t Is also
true that science more than most other
things in life depends on cooperation,
on the help of ones fellow beings, and
this becomes more and more true every
day. Many people are apt to forget
what science actually is and what they
owe to science, for it is through sci
euce that modern society actually ex-
lists, and the development Of society as
1t is today would be impossible If sci
ence were eliminated. Humanity is
growing; but, if science and the means
created by science are not growing, hui
manity will have to look forward to
very miserable future. Therefore the
nation that wishes to be cared for
must support science and those who
carry on scientific work, Science win
live her own life and has done SO ever
since the days when Prometheus made
his fatal expedition to the gods and
stole the fire which is more or less
burning in every one of us and cannot
be extinguished. There lie something
sublime In this everlasting FIRE Of SCI
ence. Generation after generation dis
appears. The Individual is nothing, but
always "watchful in the tower man

tion."-Dr. hansen.
