Best and Sternest Painter.

Dante was great traveller and the

wrote. He describes a landscape in a

He uses the fewest possible number of
words, hardly any adjectives, and the
picture leaps up before you. immortal

among the moderns? Keats could.
Tennyson gives you English landscape
If you read "ln Memoriam" you have
lived year in the English country
I and seen the march of the English

Crabbe? Nobody. And yet he is a
wonderful poet, as realistic as Tolstoy
and Arnold Bennett Byron called
him the best painter of nature-"Na-
lures sternest painter, yet her best"
! He writes about the poor as they
are, without sentimentality and with
out exaggeratiOn, and as painter of
English landscape he still remains the
{ best He may not be read by the mod
ern generation, but he is not forgotten.
A Frenchman wrote a long and excel

Country school Teachers.

The country rshool teacher should

York, author of an article on "Sani-

of Education AS the natural intel

declares. eff only one-half of these
deaths and cases of sickness can be
eliminated it means that an immense
field of useful work lies at the hand
of the country school teacher, who
will become a public health educator
and will instruct the children and
the mothers and fathers how to pre-

More teaching OF physiology is not
what is needed, DR.. North says.
Physiology may satisfy the curiosity
of children as to their internal or
gans, but it does not protect them
in any way against disease. The ris-
ing generation, whether in the coun-
try or in the city. has right to be
instructed in the first principles of
sanitary science.
Far from being too difficult to
teach in the elementary school, the
subject of public health can be made
both understandable and interesting.

DO YOUR VERY BEST.
And Then Be Sure That You Are Sat
isfied With Yourself.


1t is not what people say about you
its what you are that counts. The
one person in all this world whom you
should aim to satisfy is yourself. You
alone know yourself. Other people
know your outward appearance, your
actions, your deeds. You. and you
alone, know your motives, your ambi.
tions, your thoughts.
Are you satisfied with yourself? II
is your own fault if you are not. Are
you satisfied that you are doing the
best you can in your work, that you
are making the most of your time
Are you confident that your conduct
toward your family, your friends, your
neighbors, your employer, cannot be
improved?
Look yourself straight in the face
this morning in your minds looking
glass. Ask yourself whether it is
what people say about you or what
you are that hurts. Analyze your own
conduct in all matters.
Put yourself in the other fellows
place and try to see your actions
through his eyes. Imagine that you
are your employer instead of yourself.
Answer honestly whether If he knew
us much about you as you know about
yourself he would discharge you or
would raise your wages. If you do
this conscientiously there are many
things you will do differently.
Remember this, too-other peoples
opinion of you is based on your own
opinion of yourself. Are you self re-
specting? Other people will respect
you. Are you truthful? The world
will believe you. Are you honest? Ev-
cry one will trust you.
But weigh yourself frequently. Weigh
yourself carefully. Be certain that
your own opinion of yourself is justi-
fed Be satisfied with yourself.-Wil-
liam Johnston in American Magazine.

The Great Actor Was Peculiar and

Richard Mansfield was peculiar if we
believe half the things we have heard
about him. but he was appreciative of
favors. though he had queer way of
showing 1t.
"One had to be careful about help
ing him." said an actor who had play
ed with Mansfield for years and who
greatly admired him. when | Joined

me to get up In Mansfeld's lines, so to
be able to prompt him If he forgot
He did one night in 'Cyrano.' and

business that |. mere support, should

minded him that he had forbidden me

pressed in the simplest terms and
made clear to the understanding of
children" asserts DR.. North.
DR. North emphasizes the need of
special training in this subject for
school teachers. He believes that
normal schools ami teachers colleges
should have regular courses in pub
lie health, so that the country school
teacher may be armed with the es-
sential facts of sanitary science.

and gradually to thin at the equator
and thicken at the poles. until they
collapse, causing deluges.
The earth once had similar "rings,"
precipitated one after another, at long
intervals during the Six Great Gre
ative Days. God 50 timed His Plan
that the last of earth's rings was still
unbroken when man was created But
it had spread into great canopy or
veil. There could be neither rain nor
storm under such conditions. Genesis
2:50 The temperature of the whole
earth was equable, the suns rays act
ing upon the canopy as upon the white
glass of hot-house.
Why the Polar Ice?
Geology testifies to Glacial Period,
when great icebergs. carried by floods
of water. rushed from the poles to-
ward the equator. Scientists have
traced great valleys cut by these Ice
bergs during this period.
The collapse of the canopy caused a
deluge at both poles. flow of great
tidal waves toward the equator and
sudden, intense cold at the poles. The
water froze so rapidly that in recent
years animals with grass between
their teeth have been dug out of solid
polar ice.
The vertical rays Of the sun kept the
equatorial atmosphere very hot until
the trade winds sprang up. distribut-
ing the heat over the earth. The eQua-
torial waters were also very hot, until
the ocean currents set in. These, like
the Gulf Stream, carry the warm equa
torial waters toward the poles. These
processes, going on for 44O0 years, are
gradually thawing out the polar re-
gions and causing large numbers of
icebergs to break loose from the polar
glaciers, and distress mariners.
Professor George Frederick Wright
has dropped suggestion which fits
we'll with the Bible narrative that
Noah's ark apparently remained near
the place where it was built. AS we
understand the professor, the geolog-
ical evidences are that swift currents

The Cause of the Deluge.
Let us inquire, Why did not Divine
providence precipitate the last ring be-

that God foreknew the rebellion of

accomplished and valuable lessons be
given both men and angels. All of
His dealings are along lines of Justice.
