THE TINY 'scIARA.
A Procession of Worms Seen In Hum
gary and Norway.

gary ana Norway
In some of the Hungarian forests
and In the pine woods of Norway there
exists tiny, wormlike insect called
the scara, of the genus tipula. Dur
ing the month Of July or early In Au-
gust they gather together In large
numbers, preparatory to migrating II
search Of food or for change OF con-
dition. When setting out on this jour-
ney they stick themselves together by
means of some glutinous matter and
form a huge serpent-like mass, often
reaching a length Of between forty ana
fifty feet and several inches In thick
ness. AS the sciara is only on an av.
erage about three thirty-seconds OF an
Inch in length, with no appreciable
breadth whatever, the number required
to compose continuous line OF the
size above mentioned is almost incal-
culable. Their pace Is. Of course, very
slow, and upon meeting an obstacle.
such as stick or stone, they will
either writhe over or around 1t, some
times breaking into two bodies for this
purpose.
NJ. Guerin-Meneville, celebrated
French naturalist. said that If the rear
portion of this wonderful snakelike
procession be brought into contact with
the front part and sort of circle
formed the insects will keep moving
round in that circle for hours without
apparently noticing that they are get
ting no "forrader" on their journey. II
the procession be broken in two, the
portions will reunite in short time.
The Norwegian peasants. when they
meet one of these trains. will lay some
article of their clothing, such as belt
or handkerchief, on the ground in front
of it. If the procession passes over it
it is regarded as good sign. but II 1t

A teacher in charge of the second

all about the home life OF the discov-

"His relatives" she said, "were wool

way one day and bargained with him
for eight head of fine cattle. The price
being satisfactory, the butcher felt in

said, "but will drive the cattle to

"Neln!' said Johann emphatically.

A little girl went for the first time to

About corporal punishment in Eng

the aristocracy tolerate it without com

Impossible to fog anybody but the son

public school boys have often felt a
special affection for the masters who
have punished them most.
In Westminster abbey stand side
by side the tombs of master and his
pupil. The master was DIR. Busby,
who was head master of Westminster
school for 80 long time as fifty-eight
years. Nobody ever hogged 10 many
boys as he. The pupil was the theo-
logian. Dr. South. 1t is told-I am
sure the story is true-that when South
came as a small boy to Westminster
Busby greeted him with the ominous
words: ~ see great talents in, that
sulky little boy, and my rod shall
bring them out" II SO. he was no
doubt as good az his word. But Ahen

TEACHERS MEETING
Big Gathering of Educators at
Loveland

Elaborate preparations are being
made by the Northeastern COLORADO
association for its third
annual meeting which will be held
in Loveland Friday and Saturday,
March 90 and 80. The association
comprises practically all OF the
teachers of Boulder, Larimer and
Weld counties. Charles E. Carter,
superintendent of the Greeley schools,
is president of the association.
The program has been arranged to
assist teachers through all the grades
and high school. On the program
will be the superintendent Of schools
of the three counties mentioned,
members of the State Normal school
faculty and several other educators
of prominence.
The session promises to be the
most successful in the history OF the
association. The first was held In
Fort Collins in 1905 and last year
the meeting was held at Greeley.
Special railroad rates have been
secured for the occasion and those
who are thinking of attending would

THE ART OF TALKING.
Things That Are Essential to . Good
COnversati0nalist.


To be a good conversationalist you
must be spontaneous, buoyant, natural,
sympathetic, and must have spirit Of
good will. You must feel spirit of
helpfulness and must enter heart and
soul into things which interest others.
You must get the attention Of people
and hold it by interesting them, and
you can only interest them by warm
sympathy-a real, friendly sympathy.
II you are cold, distant and unsympa-
thetic you cannot get their attention.
To be good conversationalist you
must be broad, tolerant. A narrow,
stingy soul never talks well. A man
who is always violating your sense Of
taste, of justice and of fairness never
interests you. You lock tight all the
approaches to your inner self, every
avenue is closed to him, and when they
are closed your magnetism and your
helpfulness are cut of, and the con-
versation is perfunctory, mechanical
and without life or feeling.
You must bring your listeners close
to you, must open your heart wide and
exhibit broad, free nature and an
open mind. You must be responsive.
10 that listener will throw wide open
every avenue of his nature and give
you free access to his heart Of hearts.

FAIR PLAY.
A Plea That Is Respected by Almost
All Glasses of Men.

A Plea That Is Respected by Almost
All Glasses of Men.
There is an appeal to which nearly
all classes Of men give heed-let us
have fair play. You may address
beauties Of goodness. on the evils OF
cruelty or harshness to their fellows.
and they will. laugh at you. Exhorta-
tions to avoid any abstract evil or
wrong and appeals to follow any alb
stract virtue will seem hazy to almost
any collection of ordinary. healthy and
lusty young boys, but II their sense of
fair play be addressed there is a ready
response.
Go among crowd of wharflngers or
longshoremen or the toughest and most
reckless sailors, who have neither
home nor principles of any sort, and
talk to them of the things Of the head
or of the heart, and they will think
that you are a harmless but quite fu-
tile specimen from crankdom. Try to
awaken in them a horror of the brutal
ity of their usual life, speak in moving
terms Of the force and beauty of kind
ness or Of virtue or Of any attribute
Of polite and civilized society and
way Of life, and you will be soliciting
the wind, talking to a statue, shouting
in the desert. But in the most uncouth
assemblage and in the vilest haunt in
the English speaking world mention
fair play and found your argument
and your plea on that basis. and the
effect is instant and eloquent.-Phila-
delphia Ledger.
