Human Heart ss e Power EnIintA

 A great physician once relnarEe6 that, despite It's compleXity, there was no organ of the body readier to ad"pt itself to circumstances or more caF"
 ble of repaying ordinary care than the heart. This is very true, and an ap- preciation of that fact should cause us III the more carefully to follow the wise mans advice and to keep oug heart with all diligence. When Ws have regard to the tremendous woTs the heart accomplishes we might well with Wesley say, Strange that harp of a thousand strings should keep iG tune so long" Estimated In scientific fashion, mans heart in twenty-four hours performs an amount of work which if represented by the energy de manded for big lift would raise 12G tons of weight one foot high. Such q calculation can be accurately deter mined by measuring the force expcnd ed in one beat or cycle of movement of the heart and multiplying the short work into that of the day. Thus in ne small degree does the hearts lahoi contribute to swell the big total of the energy the human engine expends each day it lives.-New York World.

Modelling for Children
making Things in Clay Give Pupils Idea Of
Artistic Beauty and Form.

There are s%culptOrS who make a specially OF
portrait busts and statuettes OF children and re
Gently a movement has been started to make
plastic art, in the form Of small models and fguI'
ines distributed among the public schools, a me
dunn for teaching new artI-tic ideals In young
pupils.
Strangely enough, the idea of giving the chill
dred a lump of clay and setting them to making
something themselves seems never to have oc-
Cured except to a few Of our school teachers. IN
many schools the kindergarten sand box is about
the nearest approach to it, but in some of the
public schools in great cities modelling in clay IS
taught in the primary grades.
Modelling, the concrete expression OF the sense
of form, is the beginning of all art.
THE vital law lying at the root of all that I
have ever tried to teach" says Ruskin, is the de-
~pendence of all noble design in any kind, on the
sculpture or painting Of organic form
The appreciation Of form, as Mr.. Schneider ar
CUES, can never be so we'll taught as when the
pupil has a bit of clay in his hands, and that it is
natural is we'll proved by the desire of every
child TO mold something out Of mud, if no clay Is
to be had. The children at the seaShore try
their best to build Something though the sand
slips away. So they wet it, and do the best they
can. Give any normal child some clay and see
how easily it learns to model familiar objects
and how eagerly it amuses itself with this artistic
play. 1t is along the pathway OF clay that a
child can be most easily instructed being taught
70 see exactly and to reproduce more and more
skillfully as 1t gains skill by practice. 1t is ed
ucation Of eye and hand at the same time. The
low of creation is aroused and stimulated and the
powers of production are given full play.
If left to its own free will the child is apt to
attempt the complex rather than the simple and
therefore a certain amount of suggestion and
guidance is necessary. TO this end an entire
series of models have been set as a course that
will help to lay the foundation for later artistic
education.

ativcly lew. The extent TO which they are used
has. of course, increased cOrrospOndingly with
the general popularity of the post card.
Joseph Cundall, a London artist, claims to
have issued the first Christmas card proper III
1916. 1t was a autograph, hand COlored, about
the size of a lady's visiting card. N 1862 cards
of this character were first issued in large num-
bers. They were still of the visiting card size,
inscribed. simply, A Merry Christmas" Later

landscapes We're added until the present stage
has been reached.
As a fOrerunner of the Christmas card were
the school pieces" and "Christnas pieces Of the
early part of the nineteenth century. These were
sheets of plain writing paper surrounded with
elaborate pen tlourishes and scrolls. and some
times headed with copper-plate engravings, plain
and colored. Schoolboys used them at the holi.

in composition and Chirography. Charity boys
were large purchasers of these pieces and at
Christmas time used to take them around their

a season for signs and portents regarding the
success or failure Of their endeavors for the com
ing year.

If you beat your trees on Christmas night they
were certain to bear better crops than they had
the year previously. A like result would follow
the tying of stones on every Christmas eve, or to
tie wet straw bands around the orchard trees on
Christmas eve would increase their fruitfulness.
To make the grass grow well the succeeding
year. thrash the ground of your garden with a
fail on Christmas eve with only your shirt on.
In several Of the old counties Of England the
custom long survived Of 'saluting" the apple
trees on Christmas eve, and in Sussex they used
to "~wassail," or "worsle" and chant verses to
them.
Christmas time is regarded by the maidens
Of many countries as the season when the oracles
are pleased to give them information concerning
their love affairs, telling them by various pro-
cesses what will be the color Of their lovers

present love affairs will terminate happily or 9th.
erwise.
Some Of these curious beliefs hinge on the
exact time Of the birth of Jesus. Scotch folklore
has it that he was born at midnight of Christmas
eve, and that the miracle OF turning water into
wine was later also performed at that hour. This
belief is also recognized in parts of Germany,
where it is held that water turns to wine between
the hours Of eleven and twelve on Christmas eve,
while in other sections Of that country the change
Is believed to take place on Christmas night.
Gossips in Germany must find great s~atisfac.
ton in the superstition that if one walks into
the winter corn on Christmas eve he will hear all
that will happen in the village that year. Like
wise, If one goes to the crossroads on Christmas
day he will hear that which most concerns him
for the coming year"
