the beautiful hues Of nature. Make 4

carbonate of soda in the fame Of a
bunsen gas burner 1t will burn with
an orange yellow light sufficiently
strong to illuminate everything II the

is, all distinctions OF color have van

A Risky Place 70. Doctors.

Medical skill is at rather low ebb
throughout Russia and not without
cause. An American physician. tempt
ed by the enormous fees SC frequently
paid by the nobility. went to St. Peters
burg and within year lad lucrative
practice. Then he was called in to at
tend q baron who was suffering from
lung trouble. The doctor gave his pa.

baron died. and the widow promptly
sued the doctor for damages for IN
skilled treatment The unlucky Ameri'
can was sentenced to pay hne OF
1000 roubles and undergo an imprison-
ment Of thirty days. Under the cir.
cumstances it is not surprising that
the physician left Russia as soon as

tempt him to return.

Schnal-oam TRAINING.

Our schools are not training individ-
uals. They treat the unfortunate pu-
pills in the mass. as a dyer treats his
cambric by the vatful. Society needs
the power Of the Child. and there are
almost as many kinds Of power as
there are children. But these powers
are latent and need to be aroused by
the magic of personality. We now
leave their discovery to haphazarG
after the child has left the general
schoolroom. An earnest start has been
made by sincere citizens to compel ed.
ucators to use the great possibilities
Of the public schools FOR the training
OF useful individuals. 4 few vocational
and special schools have been opened.
Some Of the states. q few Of the cities.
have studied the problem Of individ-
uaized education. BY and by the state
will awaken to the possibilities OF
training its children into diversified
and honorable usefulness. Then per
ennial supply Of socialized useful indi-
viduals will be coming from the recre-
ated public schools.-Sanuel P. Orth In
