Trust Your Boy.

1t takes a good deal of wisdom
and insight to know when to let
those whom we love alone, and in
the case of an immature boy it
calls for large amount of faith.

of counsel out of her own ex-
perience:
"There is an age when it is not

boy closely. Up to that time you
may carefully instruct or direct
him; you are his best friend; he
is never happy unless the story of
the day has been told, you must
hear about his friends, his school;
all that interests him must be
your interest. Suddenly these con-
fidences cease; the affectionate son
becomes reserved and silent, he
seeks the intimate friendship of
other lads; he goes out; he is
averse TO telling where he is going
or how long he will be gone. He

The Most Useful Education.

In the days when people thought
less favorably of high school and
college education than they do
now, I was constantly asked the
questions: What is the use of
literature? Will man get any
richer if he knows the history of
Greece and Rome? Will he be
better lawyer or doctor for having
read poetry and philosophyT'
The answer to those questions
is not that he will be any richer,
but that he will find out that there
is something else besides riches
worth pursuing; not that he will
practice his profession more sue
cessfully, but that he will have
ideals outside of his profession
which will make him a happier
man in his own life and more
valuable to his friends and to his
country. lam sometimes inclined
to the opinion that the knowledge
that really is most useful today is
the kind which seems less imme-
diately and obviously useful-the
knowledge of what great men have
done and thought in the past, and
the inspiration which comes from
such knowledge. Looked at from
the standpoint of America as
whole, this is certainly true. There
is little danger that our people will
forget how to make money. There
is little danger that we shall fail
to practice our various trades and
professions with skill. But there

Newspaper Reading Jurors.

The Daily News is pleased to
note that at last one judge has been
moved to defend the intelligence
of jurors who read the newspapers.
Judge D. A. Harris of Fulton,
Missouri, in oyerruling motion
to disqualify jurors who had read
newspaper accounts of the issue on
trial, declared:
"It may be safely stated as
general proposition that the time
has come when, if a man doesn't
read the newspapers, his qualifica-
tion to sit as juror in any kind of
a case is seriously questioned"
Yet there are lawyers who seem
to think that if man is sufficient,
ly intelligent to read the newspa
pers, he is too intelligent to sit on
their juries. Why is it, anyway,
that in many cases lawyers will de-
liberately strike prepossessing cit.
izens and select men who are
known to be poorly educated? Is
it because they expect to impress
them with fam bouyant oratory
rather than with such evidence as
would appeal to the intelligence
of we'll read educated, men?-Jack-
son Daily News.
With the opinion of the Judge
and the sentiment of the jackson
Daily News in this direction, The
City Itemizer is agreed and ip
thorough harmoy. OF all the pre-
posterous ideas and customs that
ever prevailed, the one that would
exclude a man from jury duty be-
cause he had read and informed
himself in reference to the Incl
dents and details of a case to be
tried before court, is the most
preposterous. According to this
idea, about the only way you could
get man on the jury that had
not formed some kind of opinion
by hearing the case discussed,
would be to get all jurors from

really, however unwittingly, employ
ing the language of the days of Claud-
ius Galen, a noted Roman physician,
born A. D. 1870 That the term is yet
used is testimony that the old doc
trine of spirits is not obsolete. Galen
perhaps had a conception of nerve
trunks as conductors of something
he called it spirits-to and from the
brain and spinal cord. The natural
spirits were that property which gave
to blood the capacity of nourishing
the tissues of the body The vital
spirits were acquired in the heart;
and when at last the blood with its
vital spirits went to the brain and
experienced a sort of refinement for
the last time, the animal spirits we're
separated from 1t and carried to the
body by the nerve trunks. The animal
spirits of Galen have become the
nerve impulses of today These are
not electricity, but they produce it,
and can be manifested by it.

The demand for small kitchens
seems to continue. The space for
merly given to a good. large kitchen
Is being devoted to other purposes,
not with the idea OF crowding the
kitchen out of existence, but for the
reason that a small, compact kitchen
containing the various conveniences
near at hand is an advantage over
the old style.
Ths keeping of perishable foods in
the ice box and the possibility OF
buying supplies in small quantities
easily and quickly has its influence.
We now have many special cupboards
to hold various supplies and utensils
where they are out of the way to be
easily reached when wanted. all Of
which help to reduce the size of the
working end of the house.
There are kitchen cabinets with
pockets for everything required fer
cake baking and other cooking; the
little upright cupboard to hold a
broom and dust pan; another similar
cupboard for the ironing board with
shelf for the irons and the gas
heater that heats them when it is not
in use; the chute to the laundry,
where you drop soiled towels. cloth
ing, etc, out of the way not to be
handled again until wash day; all OF
these little contrivances, any one Of
which seems small in itself, have
their influence on the kitchen arrange
ment.

such a way that they take up very

wives ordered them taken out, and
you could not blame them.
1t often happens that one side or
one end of a small modern kitchen
is all taken up with small cupboards,
cupboards with doors that cover the
whole opening so there are no dark
corners. The shelves are loose so
they may be lifted out for cleaning,
the cupboard is neatly painted and
everything is sanitary and clean.
There is more comfort and convent
ence in set of such cupboards than
in a whole, large kitchen without
them.
In all well arranged houses the
laundry is built under the kitchen.
This is done for several reasons.
You want the kitchen and bathroom
over the laundry because Of the wa
ter supply and waste pipes. They
must be as short as possible for
economy, for protection against frost
in winter and because they work bet
