JosEpH MULLER. pusiIshsn

Trouble is expected in India, where
Of the Ari,h tribes, the Zakka Khels,
tall, powerful, fierce and cunning, have
worn out the patience of the govern
ment. and a punitive expeditionary
force had been dispatched against
them. Seven thousand carefully select
ed men compose the force and they will
be pitted against 10000 warriors. The
present expedition was only decided
upon after a number OF the most seri-
Gus raids. in which treachery. plunder
and murder figured In great degree.
On account OF the inherent treachery
and natural wickedness OF the warlike
tribes Great Britain is called upon to
engage In a war with them about once
in every 10 years.

Limitations of the Teaehers, Profession

Limitations of the Teachers Profession
From the April Scribner: We are
SO unsocial and stilted that it would
seem we lived in mortal fear of inspec-
tion at close range. We are too prud-
ish to be truly human. too lacking in
the sense Of humor 10 extract enjoy
ment out of the folles of life, and so
prim as TO find ourselves overwhelmed
and paralyZed by a sense of the i'm
propriety OF everything that falls out
side our straight laced course. We are
too dogmatic to be agreeable compan-
ions: too didactic, too instructive, too
prone to impart information to stand
on a give and take footing with our
friends; we prefer to give. We are too
sensitive TO accept philosophically our
share of the worlds rebuffs; too meek
TO be selfrespecting; too subservient to
superiors to possess independence of
character. We are too bookish and un-
practical to bear our proper part in
turning the wheels of social progress;
so out of harmony generally with the
instincts and needs OF society that for
the most part 1t washes past us, leav-
ing us stranded high and dry like fos-
sils on the deserted shoreline of an
ancient sea. AS far as taking an ac-
tive part in the doings of society is
concerned we meet the late Professor
Wilbur Jackman's Characterization of
the modern college student-we are "as
innoCuous as flock of sheep on a sun
ny hillside in April"
Again, our professor fosters a devo-
ton to methods and petty devices. 1t
has lately reached such a point that
every slightly different way of doing
a ;hing is labelled with a name of its
own. our pedagogical books and ar
ticies literally swarm with these
ARCHAEOLOGICAL ghosts, until it is a,
discerning intelligence indeed that can
distinguish the real entities from tho
non entities; the shadow from the
substance.

The Boston Language.
From the Detroit Free Press.


This is the way an Englishman re-
counts his experiences with his mother
tongue as "she is spoke" in the states:
II was a stranger in Boston, and
found some difficulty in understanding
the language of the street.
II stood on the curb and listened to
the conversation of two teamsters, who
were wrangling about the right of way.
"One said to the other: 'Aw, close
yur trap. or I'll get of and fracture
your reinforced concretes!'
ITO this the one addressed replied:
stop overworking the hot-air pump or
I'll pull you off your chariot and swab
the Belgian blocks with you!'
What are those chaps talking
about / asked. turning to a bystander,
who was also listening TO the COnversa-
ton.
Don't you cotton to the gab?' he
asked me, in surprise.
Don't / which, ! retorted.
"'DOn't you fall for the diction?' he
continued. Why, them two rein-push-
ers meets head-on right here in the
sCrouge where there ain't no room to

Buying Medicine When Right Food
Was Needed.

Buying Medicine When Right Food
Was Needed.
Money spent for "tonics" and bra
GERS" to relieve indigestion, while the
poor old stomach is loaded with pastry
and pork, is worse than losing a pocket
book containing the money.
If the money only is lost it's bad
enough, but with lost health from
wrong eating, it is hard to make the
money back.
A Mich. young lady lost money on
drugs but is thankful she found a way
TO get back her health by proper food.
She writes:
II had been a victim of nervous dys-
pepsia for six years and spent three
hundred dollars for treatment in the at
tempt to get well. None of it did me
any good.
Finally I tried Grape-Nuts food,
and the results were such that if it
cost dollar package, / would not
be without it. My trouble had been
caused by eating rich food such as
pastry and pork.
The most wonderful thing that ever
happened to me, l am sure, was the
change in my condition after ] began
TO eat Grape-Nuts. l began to improve
at once and the first week gained four
pounds.

Under the headline "Conried's Re-

''Conried's fame as "A manager reached
its zenith in the winter OF 1904, when,
despite the curse OF Bayreuth and In
the face of the war council, he took
possession of "Parsifal.' The Presby-
terian bishops 60 who wept over the
offense to religion helped TO advertise
IT. The rich were seized with Par
sifaP fever and had to see the per-
formance. The receipts ran up To $780,
900 marks, and the back-stair dramat-
lists wrote that Bayreuth had been out
done. The same business capacity was
shown by Conried when he produced
on the Metropolitan stage the operettas
OF Johann Strauss and Millocker."

According to recent experiments by
Stanilas Tetard, a widely known French
agricuIturist, wheat and other cereals
can be protected against the ravages OF
crows, which are particularly fond OF
the grain when It's sprouts are just
pushing above the ground, by treating
the seeds before they are sown with
n mixture of coal tar, petroleum and
phenic acid. This treatment, which de-
lays the growth of the seed for a day or
two, but causes no damage, imparts an
Odor which Is insufferable to the crows,
but which disappears after the sprouts
have attained a larger growth, when
they are no longer subject to attack.
