BREAKING THE SABBATH.

The wide divergence between the ideas of suitable Sunday observance which prevailed in the early years of the last century and those in force today is pretty well shown in the following story of the Beecher chil- dren, told in "The Life of Harriet Beecher Stowe" One Sunday little Harriet had been trying to feel and count her sins, but with poor sue cess, as she felt so very well.
 Her two younger brothers, Henry and Charles, slept together in a trundle-bed in a corner of the nursery, where she also slept. She was walked up by the two little fel- lows chattering to each other while they lay in their bed, making little sheep out of cotton pulled from holes in the old quilt that covered them, and pasturing these sheep on the undulating hillsides and meadows which their imaginations conjured up amid the bedclothes.
 Suddenly Charles eyes grew big with fright, and he cried out:
 "Ienry, this is wickedl It's Sun day!"
 There was moment of consterna. ton, followed by silence, as both lit tie heads disappeared under the ol6 coyerlid.

 The dear old gentleman was buried deeply in his favorite weekly-the one with golden covers-and as he made his way mconsciously toward the exit he trod somewhat heavily on Q burly Scot.
 "Hoot, monr" groaned Sandy, ten derly caressing the injured limb. "Are ye blind?"
 The O. g. glared fiercely over the top of his paper.
 "Hoot yourselfr' he snarled. "D'ye think I'm a motor bus ?"-Answers.

ZACH CHILDREN TO THINK should Be Taken Out Into Woods to Watch H.oits of Animals
 and Insects.

Che of the new ideas upon educa-
 ion IS that children should be en- outraged to think more and to leave Try facts alone. It is said, too. that we cram a lot of facts down the minds of our children and do not give them an opportunity to use their brains. This new idea in edu- cation says that we must take chil- dren oftener out into the woods to let them discover things for them- selves; we should let them watch the habits of insects and animals, and the ever-varying phases of nature. We should let both boys ard girls study mechanical organism of things that are in daily use in our big cities. For instance, boy or even a girl, who happens to be in the vi- cinity of an automobile when it breaks down, might by intelligent observation learn great deal about the makeup of one of those modern conveyances if let alone to watch the machinist go about adjusting the difficulties, says an exchange.
 A very much disgruntled little girl was overheard saying to her father and mother, who had dragged her away by the hand when she ran with her brother to watch a man in the roadside who was fixing his auto {: "Oh, you let Johnnie stay and look all he wants, but you chase me away. I like to look at the man fixing things, too." Which shows that lit- tie girls sometimes want to investi- gate.

WOMEN DESIGNED FOR ANGELS
But the Devil Ran Away With the Pat. tern, Says Mrs. Easton of
 New York.

The Club for the Study of Life as a Fine Art opened its third sea- son the other afternoon with an ad- dress by Mrs. Mildred Manly Eas- ton, president and founder of the so- city. Mrs. Easton's subject was. "You-a Personality" About 200 women were present at the session, which was held at the Hotel Astor.
 "Right thinking" said Mrs. Eas- ton, ''is conductive to right living. All women were cut out to be angels, but the devil ran away with the pat tern, and now it is only by thinking along the right lines that a woman can be her own true self.
 eff you want to be leaders, think right, be original and keep young. Doing the first two will make the third easy. Getting old, that is for a woman, Is merely a habit. Forty is the age when a woman begins to live. At that time she is eighty years young and eighteen years old. If she is not, then something is wrong.-New York Herald.

WHY HOTEL MEN GO INSANE
Driven Distracted by Women Who Make Extravasant Demands for
 Few Days Stay.

"Ah;" exclaimed the manager of a fashionable hotel, as he held his hand to his burning brow. ''Women Womenl They look the whole hotel over, make the most exacting de- mands for the comfort of their fami- lies during winter season, and then suddenly change the whole thing. After waiting upon two women in one day and arranging things so they will sign leases, the most expert hotel man is mental wreck.
 'Women who expect to remain only few days or weeks are no bet ter. They will write and engage rooms, and if they find we have giv- en them exactly what they ordered the shock is so great that they change their minds instantly and ask for something entirely different. And yet we must smile. ."-New York Herald.
