He and His Habits
BY DRJS.R JRTLE

A boy needs quite number OF hab-
its, and he must have them, If he
ever expects to be much of a boy,
or to become man. His body needs
the habit of turning food into blood
and then blood into boy. His mind
needs the habit of turning sights and
sounc.s into truth and character. His
memory is to be merely the good hab-
1t or holding on to what he has
learned. His morals, at any time,
are very largely the sum OF his hab-
Its in learning and practising truth
and right. When nature equipped
him with the power of forming hab-
Its, she did him great kindness, for,
without the reinforcement they bring.
he would be no farther along the day
he dies than he was the day he was
born. 1t is that power which makes
1t easier to do a thing the second
than the first time, still easier each
subsequent time, till. by and by, the
thing almost does itself.
1t really may have deterrent eff
feet on him to know that he can get
used to lying and stealing and drink
fng and doing every kind OF badness
and become more and more ski1lfuI at
1t and more Injured to it, through the
help of habit Then he will keep his
eye on the dangerous thing. And he
can more grow lazy and shiftless and
cruel and selfish, or avaricious, when
he once starts at it, till he becomes a
bundle of vicious habits Let him
know this and also know that he can
start In the right lines and form hab-
its that will be a propeller and a pro-
lection and form his most valuable
asset. The great Dr. Broadus used to
say to his students practise makes
perfect-bad practise makes perfect
ly badi"
A boy has to have help, at first, in
initiating his habits, for ne is likely
to start some wrong ones. He gets
the muscular habit OF walking from
seeing others walk and from the
guidance and support of hands that
show him how to take the first step.
He will need some habits, after
awhile, that he does not now know
he win need and VIII not start, I'M
less some one gets him at it in a di-
receive way. And he will get some
to going that he will find great in
jury to him. but he does not know
1t now; and the most serious thing
about 1t is that he viii find it diff
cult to ever get rid of them, at all
Yet It does seem easy sometimes to
give up good habits, while the cor
rection of bad ones is one of the
hardest things ever attempted. 1t
seems no task to grow crooked teeth.

A Boys Motives

and l acted like one" That discloses
reason why a boys best must be
recognized. To attribute bad motive
for the freadsh and prankish ways
of boy is one way of making them
bad, while the surest way to make
them good is to consider them so
and let him know that you do.
His motives will also need protec-
ton. Those that are temporary, like
temporary teeth, may be treated in a
way to disfgure him for life; in fact,
the temporary may be made the per
manent by false treatment. A brutal
attempt to suppress the outflow OF his
tumultuous nature may make 1t IN

ter, all his life, in inopportune ways.
The war-whoop may become maIis

JEWS MAY YET CCLONIzE

Another attempt will be made to establish
colony of Jews near the Holy Land In 1908 the
late DR.. Herzel after having failed to obtain any
satisfactory concession from the sultan of Tur.
Key in respect to Zionist effort in Palestine ap-
preached the Egyptian government with the OBJ
lect of getting grant of land for Jewish settle

the Holy Land, the Jewish Chronicle says. The
territory between these two points includes the
Potassium plain. which at one time was extremely
fertile and the original habitat of the Hittites

government of tract of land situated within an

Now once again Jewish eyes have been turned

A boy is more apt to have fairy
good motives than false ones. He
starts out in life with something in
him that will grow into a sense of
right, and, if he gets tangled, it will
be because he is taught it, through the
eye or the ear or in both ways. II
a boys motives are entirely bad, he
is seldom, IL ever, entirely to blame
for it. There is a reason. It may be.
in fact, case of atavism, in which
he has gone back and appropriated
the fetid tastes of some vile ancestor
and his parents were not wise enough
to protect him against the ravages Of
the atavistic beast.
At the outset, we must concede the
difficulty of knowing exactly what
boys motives are, for his deepest,
most dominant motive is often tangled
with superficial, secondary and tenn
porary ones; and these may be so
complex and active as to discourage
us. How we can ever detach the real
motive from this tangle of impulses
and make 1t the dominant thing is
the problem. II he asks you a ques-
ton, you are never sure of his pur-
evasion of duty
Two things encourage us. One Is
that these surface motives are not the
deepest things about him. They are
not the symptoms of anything bad
but of a new stage that he has
reached, when new forces of the body
and faculties of the mind are being
released. He hardly knows what hurts
him, but something is keeping his eyes
wide open and his nerves all jumping
The other encouragement is that
these are the curious ways in which
his very deepest and truest nature is
finding itself His devotion 20 the
gang is the spirit of loyalty start
ing toward universal brotherhood; his
fondness for contests is the first exhi-
bition of the warrior instinct getting
ready to fight the good fight of faith;
his Bohemianism, an incipient cosmo-
politanism; his local attachments. the
prelude to patriotism; his battles for
his partners. the forerunners of his
battles in the higher interest of his
fellow men.
His motives will need several things.
First Of all they must be discovered
and recognized by the older people. A
young man who had lost a position,
because of ineff1ciency, was employed
by another firm, because they were
compelled to have some one and be
was the only one they could get Soon
they noticed that he had good sug-
gestions to make and he found that
they would listen. He began to climb
and, before long. was in a very respon-
siole position and was indispensable
to the firm. When asked why he
could not keep his first Job. he replied
they treated ne as If was a fool.

the executive offices, and whereas its radius does

Uncle Sans secret methods of communication
have been improved within the past few years
through the introduction of several important new
inventions. One of these is the dctograph which
has been hailed the successor of the telephone
and which consists of a master station In the
private office of an official and a sub-station in
stalled in a separate room. The advantage of this
invention is found in the fact that the photograph

of the greatest boons of the age but from the
standpoint of public officials. and particularly
our army and navy officers their value will be
tremendously enhanced if way can be found to
transmit messages with surety that they will
reach nobody save the individual for whom they
intended. Under present conditions many
military and naval wireless messages picked
up" by private operators and of course this would
not do at all in time of war. 1t is believed, how
ever, that solution will be provided when there
is completed the trio of monster wireless towers,
$50 feet in height soon to be constructed by the
navy department at Washington d. c. The
equipment at the new station will be capable of
transmitting wireless messages a distance CT
5000 miles or more and it is believed that it will
be powerful that it will be readily practicable
to send and receive messages that cannot BIZ

Der that few years ago there was big scandal

the best illustrations of record of how close

when large portion of the regular army was

the part Of the president and the high officials of

preparations go forward that one-third of our

This performance proved that the White house
