| the scriptures and approved of the
sport in all cases except two. namely
that of David and that of the daugh-
ter of Herodias. How surprising that
minister of the gospel should make
such a statement! One might expect

condition of Christ's followers ON
earth: however, their post-mortal re-
lationship, while most desirable and
glorius, Is somewhat vague, 1t doth
not yet appear what we shall be- The
faculty of the imagination needs to be

lationship of the loyal and consistent

FOR SAFETY IN THE SCHOOLS.
European Schemes Intended to Guard
Against Disaster.

How to guard against disaster in
schools in case of fire is a subject
which is receiving much attention in
the large cities of Europe. Some of
the preventive measures suggested by
correspondents of a Vienna paper
make interesting reading for Ameri-
cans One man writes that in one of
the small towns in Bohemia the
school sessions are held in two old
buildings which were once residences.
By an iron door one may 90 from one
building to the other, and in case Of
fire in M house the children have
but to go to this door and find safety
in the building in which there is no
fire. This plan should be adopted,
he says, for all the city schools. "They
usually stand among dwelling houses,
and from each there should be an ex-
It to the house next door. That would
make the schools safe and prevent
panics." Another man writes that the
expense of placing new doors on the
schools to prevent a catastrophe
would cost too much. "All danger
could be obviated," he says, "by leav-
ing the doors to the street wide open
while the schools are in session." No
correspondent suggested fire escapes.

KEEP THE BOOSTERS MuzzLED.
Simple contrlvance That Means Much
to Light sleepers.

They were like fairy helmets-Mt-
tie wire helmets no bigger than q wal
nut.
''They are rooster muzzlss," said the
city farmer, as he led the way past the
pea beds on the window stills. the pota-
to field on the back porch and the
f%1ourishing mushroom crop under the
outhouse.
Even 80. Muzzles, not to prevent
ROSTERS from biting-for even the
gamest fowl has never been known to
spap-but to prevent them from crow
ing. See here"
They had reached the tiny chicken
run. The city farmer caught a roost-
er and gently slipped a muzzle over its
fierce head.
"Now," said he, 1T can't crow. It
can't wake the neighbors with its
crows at daybreak. Hence, thanks to
this muzzle, it is at last possible to
keep. chickens in the most crowded
city quarters.
Harrison Weir invented the roost-
er muzzle. A rooster, to crow, you see,
stands erect, flaps his wings, throws
back his head and opens his beak
wide. If he can't open his beak no
crow can come from his little red
throat"

BABY BORN IN HISTORIC INN.
Fifth Generation to Soc the Light in
the Old Home.

Born In the house of his great-great-
grandfather and rocked in the cradle
that lulled his neutrality-suspicious.
to sleep away back in old Connecticut
before the beginning of the last cen
tury, is the patrician beginning of
wee Edward Griswold Mccullough,
who made his appearance on earth
Sunday in the old Griswold inn at
.Worthington. He is the son of Ed
ward Miles Mccullough, says the Co.
lumbus Dispatch.
In all the romance of old Worthing-
ton there is no greater halo than that
which hangs over the Griswold inn. It
was built in 1906 by Ezra Griswold,
who came from Connecticut with the
pioneers who settled much of the
western reserve and central Ohio. The
family was an old one even for old
Connecticut and Ezra Griswold was a
sturdy representative Of it. He
brought this family into the great
west" with him and his son, George
Griswold, was reared in the inn. He
was eight years old when his father
brought him to Ohio.
George Griswold, in turn, inherited
the duty of perpetuating the name,
and when his father died he fell heir
to the inn property and lived through
out his life where his father had build
ed so well. His son was Worthington
Franklin Griswold, who, as his father
had GNnn {nhnrifad thu Sr- orJ 1{ryo1
in it. To him and his good wife was
born a daughter Harriet, who was
reared in the home of the family, and
who continued to live there when she
became Mrs. Mccullough.
Now she is the happy mother of a
son and she is rocking him in the
Griswold cradle that was brought to
Ohio along with other household pos
sessions by Ezra Griswold when he
drove his OK team overland from
Connecticut in 1906. No one knows
how long the unique heirloom had
been in the Griswold family before
that time, but it is supposed that
Ezra Grfswold was himself rocked in
1t when he was a baby long before
revolutionary times.
When little Edward Griswold Nc
Cullough ia baptized he will wear a
little white dress that was made for
the baptismal ceremony of his grand
father, by his great-grandmother-a
dress that has been handed down in
the family with great care and which
will be treasured more dearly than
ever when another epoch has been
noted in it's history.

Shall We Put "swank" on the List7

Shall We Put "Swank" on the List?
Every now and then we hear used
the word "swank," and 1t must be ap-
propriately, for it seem to match the
situation. But few there are who I'M
derstand its precise meaning. The
London Globe, however, comes to
their relief, for it says that "swank"f is
called bluff by Americans, and until
some genius presented the British ma
ton with the other word bluff" suf-
feed. "Swanking is the gentlest of
all arts. It relies for its success al
most entirely on amiability Of de-
meanor A nan may smile and smile,
and be a swanker. In fact, he has
got to. If he is not cheerful and at
tractive, he cannot swank, for the
swankee, repealed, edges away, thus
rendering his swanking null and void.
It is the wide, CHEEKY smile, the
hearty back slap, and the general &C
quiescence that makes the swanker."
Is it worth while admitting the word
to the vocabulary?

InaratItude to EMPLOYEES.

It is a pretty serious thing, MI. EN-
ployer, to vent your spleen upon those
who are really doing their best to help
you. succeed. Did you ever think that
your success depends very largely
upon your employees, that they are
really your silent partners, that you
could not possibly get rich without
them?
Did you yer think that many of
those working for you might, given
opportunities as good as those you
have had, be vastly superior to you?
Many employers do not praise, upon
principle. They think it is very bad
for the employee; that criticism is
much better than appreciation. Moth
ing is falser than. this idea. Some
people are so constituted that they
live upon appreciation and praise

High hearts are long with
out hearing some new call, some dis
tant clarion of God, even in their
dreams; and soon they are observed
to break up the camp Of ease and
start on some fresh march of faithful

find those who never wait till their
moral work accumulates, and who re-
ward resolution with no rest; with
whom, therefore, the alienation is in
Simultaneous and constant; who do the
good only to see the better, and see

Exchanging Laws of Etiquette.

Exchanging Laws of Etiquette.
It is astonishing to see how little
the standard Of good seems
to have changed since the middle
ages.
The strenuous life and the higher
education have not altered our con-
ception of the laws of good breeding,
even If they leave US little time for
the carrying out of them, and the
rules of conduct upon which we have
all been brought up are in many re-
spects the same to-day as those pro-
pounded in the manuals of etiquette
of hundreds Of years ago.-Ladies'
