The rain froze on the trees as 1t fell
and grew so thick and heavy that
many of them lost q third or more Of
their branches. The view of the
woods after the storm had passed and
the sun shone forth was something
never to be forgotten. Every twig

cased in pure crystal ice, ana each oak

htN 0ldaSAbStNs
In well known Boston school there
was a boy conspicuously dull at his
Latin. He was a straightforward fel-
low and a gentleman by birth and
breeding. but he was a bungler at SYM
tax.
One morning he had tangled himself
IN simple phrase. The teacher asked
question that should have cleared
him. But the poor lad did not know
the answer.
Then the teacher leaned back in his
chair, rolled his gray eyes to the cell
ing and said for all the class to hear
Il have been told that it is Il hard
thing to stuff a wildcat with butter,
particularly if you have to do it with
q hot awl, but that IS child's play
compared with putting Latin in boy
like this"
or course the laugh came, but as the
boys laughed they despised the teach.

FILLING The LUNGS.

tial to Good Health.
No piece OF advice the physician can
give viii bear more frequent repetition
than the plthy sentence. Breathe
deeply 1t is Il perfectly simple rule
Of health yet It IS constantly broken.
There are two ways to learn TO
breathe If our powers Of self disci-
pline are poor rs IS the case with most
insufficient breathers, It Is good plan
to join gymnasium or calfsthenic c.ass
and learn to use the lungs as a baby
learns to use its feet and hands. But
remember that lessons in breathing
will do no good if the scholar thinks he
is absolved from his task except when
he is in the class.
a simpler method for those who
have not time or opportunity to at
tend a gymnasium is TO turn lifes daily
routine into a continuous discipline in
breathing. If the poor breather takes
the trouble to watch himself carefully
he will find that when he is engaged
upon any work that calls for close at
tention he does not even breathe as
deeply as usual; he almost Invariably
holds his breath. Thus the blood cur
rent is vitiated when 1t ought to be
cleansed, and the worker exhausts
himself, not so much by his labors as
by his neglect
Draw in deep drafts of air every
time you take breath, and every lit
tie while stop everything else and fill
your lungs few times with breaths

As token Of the esteem in when

reception to DR.. and Mrs. Hugh *.
Walker who leave Tuesday afternoon
for California, where Dr. Walker has
accepted the pastorate Of the Long
Beach Presbyterian Church.
DR.. Walker delivered his farewell
sermon Sunday morning. taking is
his texts the following quotations
from the Psalms:
For Thy Names sake lead me and
guide me-"
He leadcth me in The paths of
righteousness for His Names sake"
David's Songs Fresh.
These are twin texts" he said,
and are born out of loving, longing
heart. The world owes some Of the
best things in its choicest, most treas
ured literature to King David. The
sweet singer of Israel And they are
things not hard to understand; To-
they seem to speak the universal ian
guage Although David has been
sleeping in his royal tomb 5000 years
some Of his sentences are as fresh
and modern as those that greet us in
our latest magazines.
Every man. he continued. is in
the profoundest sense a Pilgrim He
is travelling on to an unsetN goal and
along many divergent paths. and the
level upon which all men meet is that
Of guidance needed for this precarious
and difficult pilgrimage.
The Reason, Road and Reward.
Just three words come to my nina
as look again at our twin texts
three words that express three con
secutive lines of thought. Here are
the three words: The reason, the roaG,
the reward The reason why He
guides me: the road along which he
guides me; the reward of yielding to
His guidance.
Each soul must choose for Itself
Every soul must utter for itself the
plea. Lead me and guide me- The
life must be the acknowledgment of
God. AND 1T is in giving myself 20
God and asking for His guidance that
constitutes the reason why He condo
scends TO guide me"
In closing, DR. Walker referred to
the work of the church under his min
istrv and expressed great confidence
in its future.
The farewell sermon was heard by
a large congregation.

Material for Making Coroners.

The analysis of past performances" Of men
elected Coroners made by Mr.. Wallsten Com
missioner Of Accounts, is more than interesting.
1t is highly instructive This post calls for real
attainments in medicine and law if its incum-
bents are to be of service to the city. Yet of the
sixty-two men VINO have been Coroners since
1897 only sixteen have been physicians and one
has been a surgeon. Several have been lawyers.
But most have been elected without anything re-
motely resembling technical training, having
been taken from such callngs as undertaken,
clerk, printer, plumber, carpenter milk dealer
and musician.
That means that the Office Of Coroner has been
handed around political expediency dictated.
1t is a good job" which goes to good fellow"
If he works at it he is deemed conscientious. If
he doesnt-and, according to Mr.. Wallsteins
figures, fifty out of the sixty-two had other occu-
pttions while CorOner-it is taken as a matter of
course that he should neglect public duty for pri-
Vate gain. The inevitable result of such a sys-
TEN is inefficiency, with graft or the side. The
inevitable result Of the investigation Of the Coro-
ner's Office ought to be legislation abolshing it,

A Challenge for the Board of Education

Miss Rodman's defence against the Board OF

subordination" is fiat challenge to the board u
self. "You have placed respect for your authority
above love of Justice" she AYERS. She accuses
the members not only of lack Of true democracy,
but indirectly of lack Of ability to understand and
encourage true democracy.
Officially the board cannot be placed on trial on
these charges, yet it will have to meet them be
cause of its action in the various teacher-mother
cases and because of its fit of temper IN pre-
ferring charges against Miss Rodman hersef
when she criticised it the public has come 10
hold an opinion of it not very different from that
which this courageous teacher has voiced. ooh-
tinuation of its teachermother policy in the face
of widespread public disapproval and any severe
penalty for Miss Rodman would inevitably CON
vict the board before the public of possessing
undue respect for its own authority and an insult
hcient love of justice.

More German Hatred.

The English attitude toward Germany has be-
come little more sportsmanlike since the Ger
man successes at sea. Defeat seems to bring out
the best side Of British character and the defeats
of the navy, the Chill sea fight especially, were
severe blows to British pride.
The same cannot be said for such German opin-
ion as finds its way into this country. The in
vective and rancor Of our German press in Amer
lea are an old story. The 'Jugend" chant of
hatred showed similar spirit in the Fatherland
and now comes jingle from "Kladderadatsch, -
the Berlin weekly, which blackens the picture still
further. A translation of this verse, an attack
upon Sin Edward Grey, runs thus:
Lord! pray
By all ! cherish
That the BritOn Grey
Like Judas pershl
Let mine eyes
Before die
Grey in Il hempen ring
Dangling from high,
And he swings
Let him descry
The German eagle
Wheeling in the sky.
The poem is typical Of German sentiment, which
seems to have fixed upon the British Secretary
for Foreign Affairs as the incarnation of Eng
lands perfdiousness. Savage humor, if it is
humor can scarcely so further,
