BETTER THAN EELs

Many African tribes count snake
flesh among the delicacies, and John
Ward says that with the Australian
natives q dish of snakes is a much
esteemed luxury. Many kinds Of
birds eat snakes. Pigs are particu-
larry fond Of them as also are some
deer; but in the old days It was I'M
derstood that deer only ate snakes in
summer, for which reason their ven-
ison was at that time poisonous, a
sagacious fiction which 1t was doubt
less well known in times when there
was abundant temptation to deer
stealing and regulations concerning
closed seasons would have been treat
ed with different respect.

the roof OF the structure near the chin
ney He left the machine and rushed
up the stairs where he found the attic
all ablaze.
Mr.. Tarble notified the persons in the
house and they removed what articles
they could lift and Mr.. Tarble sum
moned aid and also brought Charles
Lawrence to the house from nearby

ance.

surround the building. But they planned
to make the best of the good weather

a "the- day-w celebrate" smile and the

following of the eommissary men were
at the park early TO prepare for the

America Producing the Greatest Voices
in the World.

In the June Woman's Home Compan-
ion a contributor, who has had expert
ence both as pupil and as an opera
singer in Europe, writes an article en-
titled "To the Girl Who Wants to Sing
in which he tells why so many girls fail,
who is to blame, what kind of talent is
really needed, and where to study to win
success. Toward the conclusion of his
article he says that America is the land
of greatest possibilities. Following is
an extract:
america is the land of greatest pos
sibilities. The mixture of foreign blood
with native stock, the productive soil
and climatic influences, are producing
the greatest voices in the world. Ex-
preston of our talent is greatest through
Yankee practicality, and elimination of
that myth called the artistic tempera-
ment,' which is replaced, instead, by art
governed by common sense.
"America can produce the greatest
teachers in the world, because the keen,
practiced type of the national mind. be-
ing free from hidebound conservatism
and age-worn tradition, is quick to grasp
and apply all that is good and vital in
teaching.
81 believe that it is possible for the
girl who wants to sing to begin here
and bring her art as near to perfection
as it can go. Moreover. there are not
the distractions from. the habit of study
presented in other countries. An addi-
tional advantage, speaking this time of
New York individually, is that more
great vocal artists may be heard there
than anywhere else in the world

cession, made up of two troops from Fort
Ethan Allen with the mounted 2nd cav
airy band, which acted as an escort for
Corporal Carter Randolph and Private
andre Brick from the post to the rail-
road station, made an impressive sight
as it slowly passed through the principal
streets of the city late yesterday after
noon, the band playing funeral dirge.
Corporal Randolph died late Wednes-
day night and Private Brick died Thurs
day, following injuries received when he
was manoeuvring with his troop. The
hearses were preceded by the post chap
lain and the band, and followed by
Troop /, to which Corporal Randolph be-
longed, and troop NJ, of which Private
Brick was member. The troops were
drawn up into hollow square at the
station and as the caskets were removed
from the hearses to the outer boxes by
members of the troops who acted as
hearers, the band rendered "Nearer My
God TO Thee" While all stood at atten-
tion bugler sounded taps" The body
of Private Brick was sent to Passaic,
n. j., and that of Corporal Randolph to
Parsons, W. Va.

Vermont southbound train at Highgate
Springs on Thursday night. He was held
for appearance at the September term of
county court and bail was fixed at ST..

States Attorney G.. F. Ladd and Deputy
Sheriff C. w. Steele that he fired the
shot. 1t is claimed that he said he hap
pened along with the revolver and shot
at the car.

ly unbalanced and his strange acts have
been noticed for some time. So far as
known he has no grudge against the
railroad company.
Hazen's father hung himself six years
ago and the boys mother, Mrs. Mabel
Hazen. lives in East Swantop. The boy
has lived with his grandparents in High

MORAL EDUCATION.
English Educator Points Out Method
to Be Followed.

! In moral education don't moralize.
This is the advice of Prof. T. G. Gould,
an English educator of note, who has
been touring the United States as dem
onstrator for the moral education league
| of London Prof. Gould's carefully
worked out program for moral instruc-
tion in the elementary grades impresses
bureau of education officials as one of
the most valuable of the present efforts
to make education tell in fine character.
STORYTELLING forms the basis for most
of the instruction in Prof. Gould's plan.
Once q week, or oftener, it IS assumed,
the teacher or principal gives syste-
matte lesson on the conduct of life. The
various virtues are taught, not as alb
stractions, but by concrete examples and
by interesting stories. The teacher is
not to say; "This ought to be done;"
she is rather to say; "'This thing has
been DONE" Hearing constantly about
right actions, the pupils learn to appre-
ciate right conduct. The spirit behind
the instruction is the spirit of service;
but this and other technical moral terms
are to be rarely, if ever, mentioned. 1T
is possible" Prof. Gould points out. "to
give many lessons on civic duty and
scarcely ever use the word patriotism,
and yet the temper of conservation to
ones duty and country may permeate
the teaching and inspire the pupils"
Prof. Gould disclaims anything novel
or faddish about his work 1t is by no
means new, he says. Il have over and
over again affirmed that my teaching
was, in the strict sense of the term, an
tiquated; that is to say, it consists OF
the employment of the concrete and
dramatic manner which is illustrated by
ancient poets as well as modern, by the
narratives and parallels of the Bible or
the Talmud by ballad-singers and story
tellers of the middle ages, and by ale
gorists such as Comenius and John Bum
yam.
What perhaps / may claim is that /
have reminded educators of simple, fun
damental principles, which, in the some
what unnatural rush of oyercrowded
school programs, we are all apt to for
get; and along with that effort to get
back to more direct acting in moral
teaching, have, it may be, combined
certain enthusiasm and freshness; at
least hope So"

Has Fed Nine Presidents.

In the Interesting People" depart.
ment of the May American Magazine
appears photograph and sketch of Dan
Healey, the oldest and best dining car
conductor in the world. Healey is a
magnetic, modest Irishman and has at
| tended to the gastronomic wants of
nine presidents of the United States
and countless other prominent citizens
Following is an extract from the arti-
Gle:
"There is some element of distinction
in being the Oldest man in service in any
line of endeavor, but to be the oldest
and best is the test that requires skill
and enduring qualities. Yet in this class
Dan Hcaley presides, so far as dining
car service is concerned. Dan Healey Is
the venerable dining car conductor on
The Pioneer Limited the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railways train be-
tween Chicago, st. Paul and Minneapolis.
Dan operated one of the first dining cars
ever put in service, and ever since he
has been caterer to the travelling pub
lie.
HE is a genial man with an alert eve
for the comfort of his guests. The trace
of Celtic ancestry crops out in his keen
wit and warm sympathy. His list of
friends who give the hearty salute, Pm
glad to see you, Dsn,' are numbered in
thousands. Dan possesses that magnetic
personality that engenders hale good fell
lowship.
"Grover Cleveland used to think that
Dan had knaek of serving duck bet
ter than anyone he knew. Ex-President
Roosevelt, after a 2l-day trip with Dan
in charge of inner man affairs. entbu-
siastieally slapped him on the back and
told him: Dan, it is luxury to be
hungry and get a Healey meal'
During the last presidential cam
paign, Fred B. Lynch, the Democratic
national committeeman from Minnesota,
introduced Dan to President Wilson.
BY George, you will be the ninth pres
ident of the United States that / have
known and fed; they started with Hayes
away back in 1877 said Dan.
Some years ago Sir Henry Irving,
the celebrated English actor while din
ing on Dams car complained about the
ruggedness of piece of fried chicken
he was attempting to disioint, and he
told Dan that he thought it was shame
to have killed such fine old bird. Dams
expression sobered as he told the great
Thespian that it was a shame that the
people of this country had little or no
regard for our ancient institutions. But
you may be sure Sir Henry's order was
served to his liking, for Dan boasts of
never having guest leave the table dis
satisfied.
"The late Richard Mansfield had no
tional tastes which taxed the ingenuity
of hoteh managers and chefs, but in
planning his itineraries he made it
point TO ride with Dan Healey whenever
it was possible. Il always liked to have
him dine on my car, as he was a very
pleasant gentleman and I'll tell you, he
appreciated good service, says DAN"
