Traditions.

The traveller entered the woods of
Georgia with the traditions Of the 10
cality strong upon him.
"a close shave!" he exclaimed, when
some hogs had chased him up con-
venient sycamore, for he thought OF
them as razor-backs.
Imagine his establishment when he
saw none of the beasts stropping them
selves against the trees.
eve are modern safety-razor-backs,"
explained the swine, divining his
thought, "and require no stropping or
honing."
1t was with a saddening sense of the
mutability of things that he at length
came from those regions Of song and
story.--Puck.

CHILDREN'S LIES.
Give Small People a Large Objective
World to Absorb Them.

Give Small People a Large Objective
World to Absorb Them.
A general conclusion from a study OF
children's lies contributed by G. Stanley
Hall to Appleton's Magazine, is that
children should have an active life and
see events of a stirring character.
They need" Prof. Hall says, IAN objec-
tive world varied, large and active
enough to greatly absorb them, and
then they will not need to improvise
and create The dull uniform monot-
Ony of school life and lessons leaves not
only an aching void, but "a mass of sur
plus energy and craving in the child,
so that it must often either resign itself
to mental poverty or else expatiate far
and wide and with considerable aban-
don into the world of sham in order
to create the outside interests it does
not find presented to it."
Prof. Hall thinks that parents and
teachers are often directly responsible
for untruth. To press children for con-
fessions of their own miSdeeds or those
of their playmates, he says, is to pre-
sent one of the strongest temptations
to evasion and deceit, if not to direct
falsehood." Even in the family chill
dren often have q kind of free mason
rv which makes it bad form to tell to
narents the misdeeds of one another.
"The same principle applies" the
writer continues, against too great in
trusion into the private life Of children.
All who have studied them realize that
there are masses of crude superstitions
which they very early learn to repress {;
that q little later there are minor mis-
deeds and sometimes immoral habits
that persistently seek refuge In the
darkness of concealment. Every child
needs TO have a domain of lie and eX-
nerience all its own, sacred from in
trusion; and the temptation of fond
narents TO maintain complete confidence
with their growing boys and girls is met
nv q natural instinct Of resistance on
the part of the child, which is often
manifested by reservations, prevarica-
tions and perhaps by positive lies.
Hence. a wise policy of letting alone
and of seeming to ignore and of respect
ing the child's own personality as invio-
liable removes another Of the tempta-
tions to lie"
Prof. Hall gives some strange cases
of what he calls pathological lies. One
little girl invented a baby sister for the
benefit of her teacher and schoolmates,
and after conducting her through sew
eral months of vicissitude wound up
her career with a death and funeral.
Another child appeared at school in
black and said that her mother had

The Grand Duke Michael Michaelo-

is represented as a German Prince who
is compelled to meet the enmity of his
family by marrying below his rank. The
Grand Duke Michael was born at Peth-

THE FEAR OF SNAKES.

Is Declared to BE Greater Among
Men than Among Women.
The physician who allowed himself to
be bitten by a rattlesnake to demon
strate that the poison of the species of
the ophidian race is a sure cure for in
sanity didn't survive to complete the
proof, says julius Chambers in the
Brooklyn Eagle.
Recently few pathologists succeeded
in coaxing from a South American
viper enough of his poison to furnish
fifty years supply of antitoxin.
One snake in the same square mile
with me is entirely too many.
1t is a matter Of fact that men have
greater fear Of Serpents than have wOm-
en-. During a visit to friends in the
country 1 was crossing stretch of
meadow in the company Of my hostess
daughter, sprightly girl Of IL, when a
black snake crossed the path ten feet
In front of us. l caught my cOmpan-
ion by the sleeve, but she wrenched
herself loose, gathered her skirts about
her knees, gave a running jump and
landed squarely upon the back of the
reptile His snakeship thrashed the
grass and the girls ankles with equal
futility. As soon as she could olsen
gage one foot she planted it upon the
serpent'S head. In the absence of club
or stones 1 was compelled to stand and
witness a scene that to me was terri
flying, but to the girl furnished supreme
enjoyment.
Years afterward when 1 read Hag-
CARDS description of Jess fight with
the kangaroo 1 understood the kind Of
entertainment that my young compan-
ion had provided for me.
1t is to be hoped that the patholo-
gists have Oslerized this "sure death"
snake. If it ever gets out Of its box
at the zoo 1 shall ask contributions
upon which to put the ocean between
us.
One snake like that might secrete
itself in tenement house and kill half
its population before anybody identified
the character of the supposed epidemic
of death.

LYDIA E. .PINKHAM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received SO many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia e.
: Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia e. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any wOmananyd aymay
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia Il. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to a healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.
