they make a slight noise with their
lips, but they do not cry"
A child, she says, will recognize a
ray of light when it is seven days
old, and then its psychological life be-
gins.
Guiding Young Mentality.
A passive, not an active guidance
Of the eagerness of young mentality
is DR.. Montessori's principle, as has
been indicated. From three years old
up the child is irrepressibly anxious
to learn. 1t need never be driven. the
streams Of its ever active intelligence
require only channels to lead it from
the things it already touches, sees and
hears, to an association with things,
names and ideas that make up the
stock of knowledge of mankind. Rough
and smooth detected in the different
surfaces of cards played with; hot and
cold in the child's ablutions, high and
low, thick and thin, round, oval-all
abstract ideas gained directly from
concrete experiences in games with
blocks, cylinders, disks, stones, colOrs
and the familiar furniture of the home
lead the expanding mind to the knowl-
edge that may be gained from books.
Games of identifying words with their
objects lead to reading; counting
games to arithmetic.
1t was during the vacation of July,
1907, that Montessori considered the
instruction of children in reading and
writing. She had an inspiration one
day when handing out the cards used
by the children in distinguishing
rough and smooth. That night, with
the help of the teachers, she cut out
letters in clear, round script. The
vowels were of pink and the conso-
nants all of blue. A little strip of
white cardboard pasted at the back
of each of the letters precisely at the
point where a guiding line would be
drawn on writing paper enabled the
little ones to correct themselves if
they were tempted to put the bottom
of a G on a level with the base of
an o.
All children love to scribble, and
she placed this passion to good ac-
count. She placed paper under one of
the tablets with the removable insets
of geometric figures, and having first
removed the figure from its frame she
showed the children how to fill in the
figure with a crayon. The children
fiattered themselves that they had
made wonderful circles, ovals and tri-
angles.
The children choose the letters they
wish to learn. 'I' and so" are the
most popular. When a child brings
to the teacher the letter which he
takes out of box, he receives its du-
plicate in black sandboard on a white
card. The little ones finger is then
drawn over the letter from the start
ing point to the finish, while the teach
er says touch it," The name of the
letter is then repeated distinctly and
slowly.

JBSUP, Ga, May 16.-Never. per-
haps, In the hbtory OF marriage mas
there been such q marital mix-up as
that of the Joneses and Robertsons
and Thomases ald Driggers Old Mr..
Jones and young Mrs. Jones are try
ing to figure 1t ont while they while
away their honeymoon In Jail on a
bigamy charge.
You remember the famous matri-
monial puzzle Of the Pharisee lawyer
In the New Testament:
The eldest Of seven brothers mar.
ried q wife. and then died. The next
brother married her, and he died. All
the rest married her in succession.
and al LOT them died Finally the wo
man herself died. And the lawyer
wanted to know whose wife she
would be In the Kingdom OF Heaven"
Well. this puzzle 10 something like
that. only worse. And II you Can
figure out whose wife pretty Hattie
Jones IL here on earth and whose bus
band her first mate II, and whose hus-
band Nathan Jones is, and whose wife
Nathan's frst wife Is. you can beat
any lawyer In Wayne county.
Nathan and Hattie met for the first
time q month ago He was 60 and she
was only l6. 1t was love at first
sight and In q week they were mar
ried at the home Of the brides moth
er, Mrs Jane Robertson.
Then some meddling grand juror
remembered that Nathan Jones had
been married before to girl named
Driggers, and he couldn't recall any
divorce or annulment. Also he seem
ed to remember that Hattie had been
married to a man named Thomas and
there wasn't any record OF legal sep
aration. So deputy sheriff started
after the bride and groom with war
rant.
Hattie and Nathan got wind OF It
and lit out. They didn't carry any
excess baggage. They just slung a
few things into bag. and old
Nathan swung it over his shoulder.
and OF went the honeymooners from
their home in Screven, lodging the
deputy.
1t was very easy to follow their
trail. and the deputy caught them and
brought them to the Wayne county
jail
Sure. I've been married before
admitted Nathan from behind the
bars. I've been married twice that l
reck'lect Of My first wife died.
lived alone on my farm several years.
then married Alice Driggers.
Next morning. Alice told me that
Drigyers wasn't her maiden name;
that she was married to a Driggers
person, and he'd certainly make
trouble when he found she'd up and
married me, too. SO ! sent her away.
Wouldn't you? When ! met Hattie
Just couldn't help marrying her"
Then Hattie, In the next cell, told
her story.
IL love Nathan" she said" and
that's all that counts, isn't It? | didn't
love that Thomas man that | married
before. And, besides. he told me one
day that he had another wife. and he
Dragged about the wives he'd had be-
fore he married her. So ran away.
Then Nathan came along. and ] mar
tied him. and I'm most dreadfully
happy. Only, wish they'd let us
out OF Jail"

Forks Modern Invention.

Forks were unknown in England
until about 300 years ago. A knife
was used to cut up food, but the food
was conveyed by the fingers to the
mouth. The first evidence of a use
OF the work in the twentieth century
fashion was by noble lady OF BY.
zantium. who, In the eleventh cen.
fury, had married a Doge Of Venice
and ate In that city after her own
custom. cutting her meat very finely
up and conveying It to her mouth
with two-pronged fork. The act
was regarded In Venice as sign OF
expensive luxury and extreme effem
macy.
