Heroic Treatment.

In Guiana if a child is slow in it's movements the parents apply an ant to the child instead of whip to make it move faster. This little ant bites more cruelty than mosquito, and it's bite is apt to be troublesome after ward. As you can imagine. this treat ment does not make the child kind to others, and the children of Guiana are said to be particularly cruel to ami malls. The little boys in Guiana do not reckon their age by years, but by their ability to endure pain. Until he gets to the point where he can let the Hucu ant bite him without wincing he is considered merely baby.

Senator Allen got the school com
mittee together the other day to see
If there was any chance of an agree
ment upon anything in the way of
legislation for the revision of the
school laws. He found that not more
than two or three of the senators on
the committee would be able to agree
upon anything Of any consequence in
school matters Senator Allen had
planned to take up the school bills and
do great deal of hard work upon
them, but In view of this disagreement
he has virtually announced that no
effort will be made to bring out a gem
eral school revision bill. This will
prove great disappointment to those
who had been laboring for measure
of the kind, but the feeling among
the members is that there has not
been sufficient time since the filing of
the school commission report for the
people of the state to fairly digest the
whole report and that in view of the
conflict of opinion it will be just as
well to permit the matter to rest until
the next session. In the meantime a
general program of educating the peo-
pie up to the higher standard sought
to be set is to be commenced.
