Joe looked at his nephew with sus-

his coat tails. His niece was busy with
some fancy work near the window, and
his nephew had just laid aside the af-

a Matter OF Dates.

Going assiduously to galleries ana
exhibitions does not necessarily make
an art critic of the amateur, nor does
1t always firmly fix his historical
knowledge. as the following anecdote
shows:
A certain wealthy man has q re-
rnarkable collection of paintings that
have recently attracted much atten-
ton. A short time ago the members
of a club in his city asked to be al
lowed to inspect his treasures with
their wives. their sisters, their cousins
ana their aunts. Their request was
granted.
One man was looking at q picture
which bore the inscription. "1723-
Sir Joshua Reynolds 1872" the dates.
OF course, being those Of the birth and
death Of the artist
.Ah." he said to his companion,
whom he evidently wished to impress
with his knowledge OF art, Il know

PAINTED, in 1928, and this copy was

raising marvels, of incredible mala-
dies and impossible operations crops
up every day on all sides.
1t is to be lamented, of course, says
the baltimore Sun. that newspapers
are not more accurate in their medical
and chirurgical reports, but the fault,
we believe, is not always theirs. Too
often the doctors who laugh so loudly
are to blame. Many of them still cling
to the ancient hocus-pocus of the me-
diaeval leeches. Medicine, as it is
practiced, is still marked by mean
ingless incantations, absurd circum-
locutions, unintelligible dog Latin.
The young doctors like to roll sound
ing words upon their tongues that
they may cause the vulgar to marvel,
and too often they are never cured of
the vice. Just observe the bull ssirs
ISSUED by the learned consultaufs
while great man lies dying. Very
often they ere entirely Incompetent
sihle, despite the fact that the infcr-
nation they ordinarily convey might
be expressed very well in language
easily understood by any layman.
No; the newspapers are not always
to blame for their medical errors and
when they are their blunders do a
great deal less harm than those Of
the doctors themselves. A newspaper
never gouges out the wrong eye or cuts
off the wrong leg. It's mistakes in
diagnosis fill no graveyards. 1t may
be comic, but it is never homicidaI.

AN INTELLIGENT REPTILE.

Do animals possess the power of
logical judgment, or, as we oftener
say, reason? Northumberland others
have long debated the question, and
are still divided. A writer in Science,
without committing himself on the
point, tells what he saw on country
road in Georgia, and every reader will
agree with him that it was remark
able.
A commotion in the underbrush be-
side the road attracted his attention.
He investigated the cause, and saw a
coachwhip snake about four feet long
struggling with a lizard less than a
foot long. They were not fighting;
the snake was trying to eat the lizard.
Occasionally the lizard would get
away, but the snake would at once
give chase and recapture him. The
snake invariably caught his prey by
the body; he acted as il he knew that
II he seized him by the tail the lizard
would break off the tail and escape.
Finally the lizard, escaping from the
snake, darted up tree; the snake fol-
lowed. Here the four jointed legs of
the lizard gave him the advantage.
After darting up the tree a short dis
lance he paused and glanced back
ward. AS often as the snake approach
ed he would again dart forward, stop,
and look backward; this happened sew
eral times.
Then all of sudden the snake
dropped to the ground. The lizard
continued to gaze downward. About
foot from the tree on which the liz
ard was resting, head downward, there
stood another tree. Spirally up this
tree the snake climbed until it was
q few inches above the level of the
lizard, which was still gazing scru-
tinizingly downward.
Quietly and quickly the snake ex-
tended the front of its body, and with
q sudden thrust of its head knocked
the lizard to the ground, and before it
had time to recover from the unex-
pected blow the snake had dropped to
the ground and recaptured it.

IL YOU THINK IT. SAY 1T.

II anything pleases your eye or palate,
or adds to your enjoyment of life in any
way, say SO. 1t is not fair to expect any
one to work for your pleasure and then
takelit for granted that you are pleased
when perhaps neither words, looks or
actions express anything of the kind.
1t is bad enough to expect grown
people to understand your feelings, but
in mercy to the children do give them the
word Of praise which their efforts to help
or please you deserves.
1t is not only right but good policy as
well TO know this. You have only to
watch the face of child when it has tried
to help you; give it the word of praise or
thanks which it deserves and watch the
lighting up Of the little face then take
note of its actions and very soon you will
see that it is watching for an opportunity
to do something else for you; and il YOU
ask the favor how willingly the little feet
and hands do the bidding. On the other
hand take their efforts as a matter of
course and see the face show how keenly
the neglect is felt
While human nature remains what il is,
a word of appreciation will never be lost
on old or Young and is one of the best
paying investments which can be made
Some say, 81 don't care whether they
like it or not but that is all nonsense
for man, woman or child; we every one
of us feel our heart grow warm under
merted praise, and if we get little more
OF it than we deserve which rarely hap
pens in this world, we try to deserve
more next time.
Praise your wife, man; for PHYS sake
give her a little encouragement; it won't
hurt her. She doesn't expect it; it will
make her eyes open wider than they have
for the last ten years; but it will do her
good for all that and you too There are
many women today thirsting for word
Of praise and encouragement
