I is obvious that in education health is funda-
mental, that you cannot properly educate a
child that hasn't good health and that TO main
tain this health the conditions in the school,

not so obvious is that it is the duty OF the
school TO so train the child that he will keep
in good health in after life about as easily and
as naturally as he reads. The school that has
failed 10 train the child to get good health
and keep it has failed in educating the child

!. PROHIBITION AND
, CHRISTIAN ETHICS :
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

In the North American Review the
Rev. P. Gavan Duffy discusses "Pro-
hibition in the Light of Christian
Ethics" The writer disavows the
idea that he is arbitrarily attacking
prohibition or that he is defending
the liquor interests. But he contends
that, in so far as the prohibitionist
claims the Christian sanction for his
policy, he Is in error, since Christ in
variably placed the responsibility for
abuse upon the abuser, while the pro-
hibitionist shifts it from the abuser
to the thing abused The writer con-
Cludes:
I'VE go back to the Master with
this vexing question and we find Him
standing calmly in the midst of hui
man misery, free from haste and un-
bounded in His trust in and for hu-
maAty and, withal, the only One that
offers a solution of all mankind's ills.
And it Is not to the creatures or gifts
of God which men abuse in excessive
indulgence that He points, as the
cause of human wretchedness and
sin, but mans own weakness within.
The burden of His message is to be-
ware of all that makes only for ap-
pearances; to make clean the inside
of the platter as mans first concern;
and pointing to the appalling evil
dences of mems sin which are all
around Him, we hear Him say, All
these evil things come from within
and defie the man.

Rapacious Eaters.

The Chinese are rapacious eaters
at the feasts which are given in
honor of their ancestors. At these
feasts the tables groan with all the
good things which the most efficient
cooks can provide-pork, snow white
rice, picked cucumbers, chickens,
ducks and bird 's-nest soup. For
some minutes before the feast the
600 or 700 men sit at the tables in
silence. Then at given signal begin
the clinking of chopsticks and the
noise Of indrawn breaths by which
the Chinese cool the hot mouthfuls
of rice which they shovel down their
throats. Presently, when the hot
samshu begins to work and the faces
become flushed, babel of voices fills
the temple.-New York Tribune.

The Irish in Panama.
BY HERBERT DUNLAP.

And then our next of kin, the Irish
the blessed, devoted, ubiquitous
Irish, whose bleached bones whiten
Britain's battlefields. I found an
Irishman on the La Boca fiat where
one of the monster dams is slowly
taking form, standing kneed deep in
oozy, shiny, tidewater mud. cursing
tearfully and eloquently three de-
tached looking Jamaicans who, across
bit of creek. were theoretically
engaged in affixing pile line to a
monster pile half buried in the
dreadful stuff. 1t was a loathly hole,
and hardly inspiring to any man,
much less these slothful and easily
discouraged negroes. Far above them
was the pile driver, reaching out over
the end Of the long, slender trestle
which is the framework of the retain
ing wall of the structure, according
to the plans. The task of raising
great heavy, water-soaked log, easily
sixty feet long, to its proper position
in the lofty lead" was no easy one,
and the blacks were handling the
hardest end of it, working, as they
were, waist deep in water, and worse.
But their irate boss was suffering
from the insidious strain of the weeks
of wet season, abounding in most
fiendish assortment of weather, from
white heat to chilling rain, and when
to that was added the manifest help

which he had to work, his patience

AnthrODOid ADcs,

S. P. Werner points out that the
recent discovery of the chimpanzee
in a part of Africa where it had not
been known to exist enables us to de-
fine a few regions where the gorilla.
the chimpanzee and the pygmies exist
in conditions suggestive of the possi-
biity of discovering the fossils of
their ancestry in good preservation.
The pygmies are now known to have
existed practically in stu for 5000
years, and it is probable, Mr.. Werner
thinks, that the two great anthro-
poids may have been there for as
great, or a greater, length of time.
He is trying to indicate localities of
limited area in which the likelihood
of discovering the fossils mentioned
is very great.

CHAPTER XVI.
Box hara.

With the advent of October came a
succession of fogs. The atmosphere
of London was such as only London
ers can brcathe-yeilow, noisome and
choking. The Wrights had talked of
leaving town, and mad even discussed
the question of going abroad, but
! they were still in Seymour street.
The colonel was busy, and seemed
singularly averse to leaving town; he
was now getting seriously anxious
about VINEYARD Mistley.
Instead of getting better, things
grew worse. Vague reports, originat-
ing sometimes in Berlin, som etimes
in st. Petersburg, appeared from time
to time in the newspapers. These
rumors spoke of trouble on the
Afghan and Persian frontiers, of tri-
bal disturbances and religious diff
ferences, of boundaries overstepped
and agreements broken. Added to
all this, Colonel Wright received a
blow from nearer source, which ag.
gravated matters greatly, and rem
dered VINEYARD Mistley's silence al
most unbearable.
One morning, late in October, ho
was sitting at his study table. Before
him lay the large sheet map which
Charles Mistley had brought more
than a year ago. A fresh route had
been worked out across 1t with dotted
lines of red commencing at Kizil Ar
vat on the day mentioned by the trav-
eler, Henry Akryl. The colonel had
just completed the dotted line as far
as Bokhara, and was looking, in an
absentedly methodical manner, at q
calendar. The date written above
| the word Bokhara was terribly far
back into the spring, more than six
months ago
The study door opened softly, and
although the old soldier heard it,,
he did not move or turn. Two warm
hands were laid upon his shoulders
with that marvellous touch Of a
womans loving fingers. They were
peculiarly steady hands, as white as
Lena's, but firmer and somewhat
| heavier.
"Willy!"
Eyes, old woman"
"Willy," repeated Mrs. Wright,
looking out of the window into the
hopeless dreariness of the October
morning, have you noticed any diff
ferencs-any change in Lena?"
The colonel raised his eyes from
the map and contemplated the chim-
neys of the opposite house for some
moments in silence. "a change-old
woman?" he said, slowly. Perhaps
there is change-.she is no longer q
child now"
mo, it is not that. There Is some
thing else. She never allows it to
appear; but--she is miserable. She
is wearing herself to death. We
must go away from London"
1t must be confessed that Colonel
Wright had not given very much
thought to the subject of his daugh-
,ter's happiness, nor was he clever at
ldivining motive.

fellow, who followed him most per-

turned down a narrow street where

but this fellow still followed him,
and kept thrusting his wares for

thumb was hooked into his waistcoat

stripes of which he was following

he raised his lazy eyes, direct and
with certain deliberation. from the
floor to Lenas face. He caught her

he moved slightly, and addressed Col

1T is not much said Colonel
Wright, slowly, but it explains a
good deal He ought to have been

January. No doubt he has had diff
ficulties to contend with which we did
not quite foresee.'
The old soldier was no adept at dis
stimulation. His manner implied dis
appointment, and in each heart there
was a vague conviction that this news
was not satisfactory. 1t was no ex-
planation of the subsequent silence.
