Another Enn Problem.

Two much-bedecked porters were
given leave to go to the races. They
were standing at Fourth and Oak,
waiting for the car, when a casual
glance toward the church caused one
of the colored worthy's thoughts to
take peculiar trend. Look here,
Jim," said one of them, there has
been question in my mind for long
time and can't figure 1t out. Iahks
chicken, you lahks chicken, all our
ancestors lahked chicken, but where
did dat chicken come from? Dere
had to be an aig befo' dey could be a
chicken, an dey had to be chicken
to lay dat aig. If dere wasn't no
chicken on earth how did dat aig get
here, an if dere wasn't no aig on earth
how did dat chicken get hereY'
James maintained that the chicken
was first and poured forth arguments
to that end. His friend became an
gered, mixup followed and an off,
Ger became interested in the discus
sion. He heard both sides, gave nei-
ther a verdict, but decided to let the
judge have chance to hear such a
peculiar argument. And as they were
being escorted to the jail one Of the
colored men remarked:
Jim, 1 believes dat fust chicken
was de work of de devil. l."-Louisville

/" FOLDED HANDS. !"

Pale withered hands that more than
four-score years
Hath wrought for others, soothed the
hurt of tears,
Rocked weary children, eased the
fever's smart,
Dropped balm of love in many an ach-
ing heart;
Now stirless, folded like wan rose
leaves pressed
Above the snowy lilies on her breast,
In mute appeal they tell of labors done,
And well earned rest that came at set
of sun.
From the fair brow the lines of care
had swept,
AS if an angels kiss, the while she
slept,
Had smoothed the marks of suffering
quite away,
And given bach the peace of child
hoods day:
And on her lips the FAINT smile almost
said,
'None knows life's secret but the hap
py dead;"
So, gazing where she lay. we felt that
pain,
And parting conrd not wiring her soul
again
And we were sure that those who saw
her last
In that dim vista which we call "the
past"
Who never knew her old and sOrely
tried,
Remembering best the maiden and the
bride,
Had sprung to greet her with the Olden
speech,
The dear sweet names no later love can
teach,
And welcome Home, F" they cried, and
grasped her hands;
So dwells the mother in the best Of
lands.

cRAMMINe.

This article is not addressed ex-
clusively to students, but also to those
who are using the common methods
of obtaining information by pressure
or force.
So unqualifiedly am I opposed to
cramming for examination, and to any
other similar process, that have be-
come a strong advocate of a reform
in this direction, looking toward the
establishment of new scheme where
by the pupil will be prevented from
continuing this vicious practice, which
has nothing to recommend 1t.
I would suggest irregular periods
for examinations, so that the pupils
would not be advised in advance OF
the ordeal, and, therefore, would be
obliged to study regularly and persist
emily. If they wished to be prepared
for the tests.
It is quite likely that the pedagogue,
kiln-dried and unconventional, would
take exceptions to anything which
would disturb the dregs OF his
academic tea, and would claim that
examinations would not be complete
or satisfactory unless they followed
full term Of study.
Perfection in this direction, as in
others, is impossible. Better be near
er right than farther from right, al
ways assuming that there must be OBJ
so.4:o,a o15 0f&ar vo1id onnQ fO aVnrV
action, educational or otherwise.
My investigations show that fully
ninety per cent of college undergrad
yates and high school pupils, includ-
ing those who are studious, cram for
examination. It has become a custom,
and still remains in force.
The cramming- for examination meth
cd, instigated in the school, is carried
through life, and enters business and
profession. Instead Of learning by
study and persistent effort what is re
quired, nearly everybody especially
prepares himself to meet some antici
pated examination or test, which is
usually scheduled to occur on defn
ite date. The knowledge obtained in
this way does net remain remain. It IS forced
in and forces itself out, usually leav
ing the mind as empty as it was II
the first place.
The business or professional man o.
marked accomplishment Is always
ready to meet emergency. He as
sumes its constant occurrence. He
grounds himself in what he should
know, ever studying, ever learning
ever open to suggestion, ever anxious
to obtain information. OF course, i
an unusual task is presented to him
he may read up or study the subjec
more intently, but he does not depend
upon this special loading of the mind
A short period of daily study accom-
pIishes more than double the amour
of time spent in cramming, and tina
which is obtained naturally and regu
larly is not easily forgotten, but re
mains as a permanent asset.
Work, whether you have to study o
do something else. Keep everlast
ingly at it, whatever may be your dut,
or your vocation. Learn something
every day, and do not make special
: ty of overlooking on any one day.
] you do, you will be like the ovel
charged gun which is more likely t
burst than to send the shot to tn
target.

GOOD AND EVIL IN JEALOUSY
All Right When Il Spurs to Greater
Efforts; Wrong When It Be-
comes UnreasOning.

Jealousy develops very early in our
lives. In fact, even as children, we
felt jealous of other children-of their
pretty clothes, their toys and play
things.
In our schooldays, because Of jeal-
ousy over the rapid advancement Of
other pupils, we have worked harder
perhaps, so that we, too, might reach
higher marks in our studies; thus we
have gone ahead of our schOolmates.
Because we have been jealous of
our neighbor's prosperity, we have de-
veloped ambition; because we have
been jealous of wife or husband, we
have tried more strenuOusly to please
them; because we have jealously
guarded our cOuntry's honor, we have
secured a place second to none among
the nations Of the world.
Jealousy is a subtle passion, and
must be carefully analyzed. We must
never lose sight Of the fact that it is
q devastating monster, which If al
lowed to fasten itself upon our imagi-
nation too strongly, will grow to ter
eific proportions.
The force that is expressed in jeal-
ousy may if wisely governed and
guided into helpful channels, become
the source of achievement that shall
upllft and aid in the worlds work,
while If left to take its destructive
course it may bring down the walls
of the temple about the ears Of an en-
bryOnic Samson.
UnreasOning jealousy is blighting
curse.

travelling Insects.

Ship cargoes are often responsible
for the introduction of new species Of
insects in different lands. Banana
punches often hide poisonous reptiles
and insects which travel long dis
tanceS, only to bite or sting the hand
of some receiver Of fruit. Often they
escape alive and breed their kind.
Many venOmoUs snakes have thus been
introduced into lands where none ex-
listed before. Strange creatures have
been imported on the blooms Of Or
chids, and West Indian insects have
Travelled in easter lily blossoms, De-
Etructive moths migrate in fruit ships.
Flying insects often follow ships. One
curious case was that Of a vessel from
the tropics followed by swarm of
butterflies. Out of sight of the shore,
they hid in the cabins and holds, en-
erging 40 days later when the ship
reached England. Thus originated
quite a new species Of butterfly in the
British isles.

Sound Of shrapneI.

Have you ever heard shrapnel, by
any chance? No? Well, it sounds as
much as anything else like a winter
gale bowling through the branches of
a pine tree. It is a moan, a groan, a
shrek and a wall rolled into one, and
when the explosion comes it sounds
as though someone had touched of
a stick of dynamite under a grand pi-
ano. And it is not particularly cheer.
ing to know that the ones you hear
do not harm you, and that it is the
one you do not have time to hear that
sends you to the cemetery.-Scribner'
Magazine.

cobbIer's Dozen.

In most countries thirteen is al
ways spoken of as "the bakers dozen"
but in Italy it is called "a cObbler's
Dozen" There is a tradition in that
land that formerly there was a law
compelling cobblers to put twelve nails
around the edge Of a boot heel, and
that when nails were cheap a thir-
teenth nail was driven in the center
for luck.
