The Modern English Boy.

The Modern English Boy.
London Globe.
The modern schoolmaster does not think
much OF the modern boy nor, for the mat
ter OF that Of the modern parent. This has
often been made evident, but seldom so
clearly as by Mr.. Newsome's speech at tho
annual meeting Of the Incorporated Asso-
citation Of Assistant Masters in Secondary
Schools The old idea OF boy was that
he was a more or less necessary evil, who
had TO be represented and kept in his
place, usually by severe measures, but
that way OF looking at him has now been
abandoned. and there is evidence all
around us OF relaxed moral fibre. OF soft
ness and self-indulgence.
The pendulum has swung from the Pur-
itan repression OF normal boyish activl-
ties TO an overindulgenoe which threat
ems to sap the energies OF this nation It
is plain that Mr.. Newsome lays the great
er part OF the responsibility at the door
OF the parents. who are only too anxious
at the present day to shift the onus OF
training the boy, OF developing his char
acter and OF making a man OF him, on TO
the shoulders OF the schoolmaster. Like all
other observers. he sees that the great
danger which threatens the nation at the
present time is the danger OF confusing
liberty with unchartered freedom; and the
class room is only one OF the places in
which that confusion Is apparent. It is in
the home that the slackness has its origin.
and Il Is in the home that It must be
checked.

STANDARD OF CANNED GOODS.

T HE members of the Tri-State Gamers As
n sociation which met recently in this city
were optimistic regarding the outlook for the
sale of their product. 1t was shown that the
packers have less goods on hand than at the
same time last wear and they believe that they
will have no difficulty in disposing of their
stock AS was pointed out by Mr.. Hoftecker,
president of the association, the best six months
for the consumption Of canned goods are vet
to come, and an advance in prices is looked for.
This, O; course, will not be good news for the
consumers, but the packers OF late have not
been making high profits on their goods
The association went on record as favoring
governmental inspection of canning factories and
their products i'm the hope OF securing stan
dardization of such products This is good
move on the part of the Gamers.
Many Of the leading Gamers Of the state dur
ing recent years have greatly improved their
facilities for the proper canning OF vegetables.
They have employed the latest devices and the
cleanest sanitary methods with the result that
they have produced high quality of canned
goods clean and wholesome and very desira-
bic.
But other Gamers have not done this. There
arc canning factories in the State which make
no pretense of following the path of the high
class Gamers They make cheap and often un-
sanitary article which they are able to sell at
low price and at big profit. Unfortunately
for the higher grade Gamers, the cheap article
is SOld IN large QudHlAllSo'
The packers who favor this Standardization
of their output arc in line with the movement
for pure food. movement that is primarily in
the interest of the consumer. The Gamers As
sociation is therefore, TO be commended for its
efforts TO bring about uniformity and cleanliness,
and there is no valid reason why the government
should not require standard of canned goods
such as the Tri-State Association is asking.
The matter Of bribery at elections IS not a ht
subject for Jest, but must congratulate our
friend down the street, the major, upon his gra-
cious acceptance OF military title. We have

be good military man especially suited to pre-
side at a drum head court martial but when he
engages in target practice he will have to come
nearer hitting the bulls eye than he did in his

sundry others and proceeds on the warpath

Somerville. N. j., July 13.-Silas
Hoffman, who had not spoken word
for 81 years, according to his neigh
bors. is dead. He passed away last
night without breaking the silence
he had preserved SO long. Just be-
fore he died, he made an effort to
speak to his devoted sister, Mrs. Mar
garet Lane, who has cared for him
in his lonely house throughout his
eccentric career. The attempt failed,
owing either to weakness or to the
fact that he had lost the power to
articulate.
Hoffman was 81 years old. He was
one of five sons OF a prosperous far
mer. The other four are living and
are prominent in their communities.
Hoffman spent his early life like his
brothers, on his fathers farm. At
the age of 80 he possessed a farm and
owned a fine team Of horses, of which
he was very proud. He was fond of
society and attended all the social
gatherings of his community.
Then misfortune overlook him. He
lost his farm. and finally his pet team.

POISON IN FLOWERS.
Dainty and Beautiful Blossoms IN
Which Turks Death.

When the good friar in Romeo and
Juliet reflected upon the properties
of the simple flower, within whose
infant rind poison hath residence and
medicine power" his observation en-
braced a goodly category Of we'll
known flowers whose secretions fur
nish the world with so many poisons.
For instance, the laburnum, which
has been compared to fountain OF
gold leaping into the sun-a most
charming Sights one Of the most
poisonous things imaginable, inasmuch
as it is poison in leaf and flower and
seed. Even the grass growing be-
meath it is poisonous by reason of its
proximity to the innocent looking BIOS
SONS overhead, and it has been found
necessary to guard against cattle eat
ihg this grass for fear Of fatal results.
The bulbs of such dainty and beau
tiful flowers as the narcissus, hyacinth.
jonquil and snowdrop secrete the most
deadly poisons, not to speak Of the
oxalis, the monkshood and the fox
glove, all of which furnish noxious
liquors sufficient to destroy life.
To these may be added certain OF
the crocuses, the lovely lady's slipper,
the quaint old jack-in-the-pulpit and
the laughing little buttercup. The lat
ter, despite it's most innocent appear
ance, is one of the worst Of the poi
sonous flowers. Even the COW is aware
of that and carefully avoids it. The
cousins Of the buttercups, the peo-
MES, the larkspurs and the rest, all
contain toxic fluids.
Another source Of deadly poison Is
the olenader tree, while the bark of
the superb catalpa tree contains many
deadly doses.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

An Unfamiliar Alias.

There may be nothing in name,
but the American traveller Of whom
the Living Church tells found at least
confusion therein. He had landed at
Liverpool and fastened out of the city
to a rural village, where he found a
charmingly old fashioned inn which
delighted his soul. 1t was late when
he arrived, and when he asked what
he could have for supper the buxom
landlady suggested minced collops. He
agreed with enthusiasm, the dish
sounded so romantic. so Robin Hoodsy,
so almost medieval. And what DO
you suppose they brought him? Just
plain hash!

4 BRAVE GIRL.
Her Terrible Experience While On Z
Smuggling Expedition.

Smuggling Expedition.
This tale of heroism displayed by a
young woman engaged In smuggling
contraband goods over the Swiss-1tal'
ian border comes from Geneva: mile.
Poretti, aged eighteen. and her broth
er, aged twenty-three, left Swiss terri
tory to cross the Baldisco pass carry
ing contra band goods into Italy. On
the summit they were overtaken by a
violent snowstorm and were soon in
deep snow. The Porettis roped them
selves, the young man leading. They
lost their way, and while attempting
to find the path Poretti fell through
the snow into a crevasse into which he
nearly dragged his sister. The girl,
however, planted her ice ak in the
snow and withstood the shock.
early the next morning several
smugglers crossing the pass from
Swiss territory into italian found the
young girl near the ordinary route TAX
en- by smugglers and recognized her at
once, as she belonged to a smugglers
family and lived at sChiavenna. The
smugglers at once drew up the broth
er, but found that he had died during
the thirteen hours his sister had held
him by the rope. He had received Sc
we're injuries in the head, and his body
was frozen.
The smugglers carried down the
brave girl, who was almost uncon-
scious, as we'll as the dead body of her
brother, and notified the Poretti family
at Chiavenna. On reaching the valley
the girl had recovered sufficiently from
her terrible experience to explain that
she and her brother had spoken for
several hours after the accident and at
last he had said that he felt nothing
and wanted to sleep.
"A warm night followed the snow
storm, or two dead bodies would have
been found. Under the great strain
the rope had cut through the girls
clothes and her waist was bleeding
when she was rescued. "-Chicago
