Savinu Sense of Humor.

At its best estate the human mind is
delicately poised. In this respect ii
does not differ from any other highly
complex machine. And for this reason
n comparatively light shock may disar.
range it and reduce its effectiveness.
Any human trait, therefore, that serves
to guard the mind from jolt and jar
is saving trait. OF such traits is the
saving sense of humor.
This trait may be racial or national,
for we see it more highly developed in
America and Great Britain than in
Prussia and Turkey. But it appears
to be nourished by good physical con
dition, says writer in the Minneapo
lis Journal. A people stricken with
world-weariness like that of India can.
not perceive the hidden smile in
things, as can n hopeful people such
as we. But even in well-nourished
land like America the man with the
saving sense Of humor Is none too com.

the regulated lives, instead of being
the result Of growth in self-control
and self-direction, were but the tenn
porary impress Of outward necessity.
We have too often treated the ex-
panding force of growing children as
we treat the expanding force of u ket-
tie of steam. The latter may be made
to work properly only as 1t is confined
to fixed channels-and when the lid
comes off, all escapes. The child. on
the contrary, is an organism quite us
capable of becoming n self-dlrecting
and purposeful personality as is the
parent or policeman who undertakes
to "discipline" it. And this it becomes
not through restraint and suppress
sion, but through guidance and spon-
taneity.
The child must have an abundance
of spontaneous action, because only
thus can he try out his various pos
sibilities In relation to things and peo-
pie. Only thus can he get the oppOr-
tunity to select and evaluate the activ-
tiles that are worth while, to reject
what is not worth while. what is in

Shakespeare as a Poacher.

Shakespeare had chased this hare In
the country, and knew all about dogs,
hawking and hunting the deer. The
story goes that he was poacher. This
is not certain but I was reminded of
it the other day because I received
from Russia photograph of a picture
painted in Poland over 100 years ago.
The artist was unknown, but the sub.
ject was clear. 1t was picture Of
Shakespeare being examined by jus.
tice of the peace, with his stolen game
at his feet, and an odd little boy by
his side-a perky little boy, who was
like the one called Moth in Shake
speare's first play. Two cherubs were
standing on nothing, as the way of
cherubs is, high up in the picture, and
pleading, perhaps, for the gayety Of
youth; and underneath Justice was
weighing the scales, foreseeing and
farseeing Justice, who knew that
Shakespeare's little finger was worth
more than all the venison in War
ckshire-EXchange.

BY SIDoNIE M. GUTENBERG,

A S WE look about among our &C.
"A quaintnnces, we may see that in
some households the absence of the
mother, even for day, Is sure to re-
suit in great deal of irregularity in
the conduct of the children-tO say
the least. In other homes, on the con-
trary, almost any adult in charge
would find the children going on about
their games and other activities as
though nothing unusual had occurred.
The difference between these two
types of homes does not show so much
difference between children as one be-
tween the viewpoints or habits of par
ents. In some cases parents rule with
high hand, and the children have
constantly in their presence n feeling
of restraint. To the child, what may
be done and what may not be done
are altogether arbitrary matters, de-
termincd by the authority of parent or
teacher. That is to say, fright" and
wrong" are somehow vaguely syno-
nymous with permitted" and for
biddcn." Whenever, therefore, pro-

impulse to try the forbidden expert
ence; and where the absence of par
ents withdraws the restraints, children
will take advantage of their absence
to indulge what they are usually for
hidden. Whoever is left in authority
when the parents are away, whether
it be a friend, or a relative or n hired
servant, is sure to find a strong ten
dcncy to break out.
Many years ago the school reader
contained story entitled, mice ut
Play" which described the naughty
antics of houseful of children dur
ing the temporary absence of their
parents. All sorts of forbidden deeds
were INDUCED in, mysterious cup
boards were explored and the pantry
was raided. This nearly forgotten
tale was brought forcibly to my men,

ory recently, by friend whose sister
had to leave her children for few
DAYS. My friend telephoned to her
sisters house to find out how the chill
dren were getting on, and was assured
by the maid that they were very well.
And with much emphasis the maid
added the further item that the chill
dren were also very good. 1t was
the stress that the maid laid upon
this fact that the children were very
good, although the parents were away,
which made such an impression.
1t appears that there are many peo-
pie who expect, as a matter of course,
that children will be naughty when
the restraining influence of the parents
is removed. No doubt the proverb,
"When the cats away the mice are at
play" had its origin in the fact that
the presence Of parents or of other
adults was severe restraint upon
the activities of the children. And no
doubt this fact Is to many sufficient
argument for the constant exercise OF
some restraint in the form Of "disci-
pline." Yet it should not be difficult
to see that, for practical purposes,
lust the opposite point of view is like
ly to lead to more effective results.
The problem is by no means con-
fined to the home. 1t has its counter
part in the school, in industry and In
government. Many teacher who
brides herself on her "dlscipline" can
show visitors any day perfect order
on the part of her pupils. The work
proceeds with mechanical regularity,
every child seems to know his place
and keeps it. There are no unneces-
sary movements or sounds. But the
same children, out of sight Of the
teacher, are declared by other teachers
in the school to be the most unruly
and the most unreliable. What, then
ayails all this discipline If 1t can be
made to function" only in the pres
ence Of a police force?
And SO it is, working with more
mature people, under somewhat differ
ent conditions of temptation and mo-
tive, the manager whose shops or Of
fees produce high records Of "eftici-
ency'' SO long as he keeps his hands
firmly on the machinery Of adminis-
tration, For the time being, the moth
er, the teacher, the manager, may be
satisfied with the results. Sooner or
later, however, the overrestrained and
the oyermanaged may b sxpectsd to
be separated from tho machinery g

guiding the sleigh to the right or left;
they apply a brake by letting them
selves drop on the snow, or drive to
greater swiftness by bending forward
like jockeys. Strong iron spikes which
are driven by d lever into the ice en-
able the leader to stop the vehicle al
most instantly, but sudden applica-
ton of these brakes whirls up the Ice
and snow in clouds.
Skiing has taken root to an eXtraor-
dinary extent in Switzerland; even the
poorest youth does not want to do
without skis, though they might con-
sist of only couple of crudely adjust
ed barrel slaves. Thanks to the ski,
the boys and girls living on remotely
situated farms are now able to attend
school every day; their parents are no
longer isolated for the best part of the
long winter months, and, thanks also
to the "wooden wings of Norway" the
mail and newspapers can be delivered
regularly.
Snort is furthermore made easier by
the different mountain railways, which
in winter run toboggan trains. Thus
one can travel couple of stations up
ward and arrive at starting point on
mountain road without eXertion
and without waste of time. Then one
descends to the valley on toboggan,
ski or skates. or vice versa, goes
down first and returns by train to
winter quarters.
Races, competitions. ski excursions,
sleigh drives, ice carnivals and an
equal variety of fascinating indoor en-
tertainments transplant the happy
winter visitor into totally different
world where sorrow and care seem to
be banished and where every human
being seems to realize that the best
life after all is found right next to
natures heart.
But Christmas in Switzerland does
not only indicate the time when winter
sports are beginning to be at their
best; it signifies for the natives a Pc
riod full of sacred mystery and the
anniversary of many a day particular
ly specified in ancient legends.
In many parts of the country the
Yuletide customs and festivities still
have their beginning on December G.,
which is the anniversary of st. Mich
Olas. Markets and fairs are then held
in villages and cities, and seeing that
the old traditions prescribe for this
day the purchasing of presents for the
children, it is an event Of utmost I'M
portance to all youngsters. In some
districts st. Nicholas parades around
in person, in an attire very similar to
that of our American Santa Claus, gen.
orally carrying n bag filed with ap-
pies, prunes, nuts and homemade
cookies which he distributes among
the children who have been obedient
during the year.
The next and In modern days the
most important festive day of the
Whole Yule season is Christmas. His
tory relates that 1t was only in the
year 354 that the Roman Bishop L.
berius designated December 25 MS the
birthday of Christ, as the Romans re-
garded this particular day rs the
birthday of the sun, and as they were

Of the year, says the Washington Star.
Then came the war, cruel, de-
vastating and ever-spreading. With
wfzardlike swiftness Switzerland
mobiliZed her army and ever since
the ancient Helvetian republic has
been described as ian island of peace
in a sea of war"
To those who know her. Switzerland
in summer represents master study
In artistic color combinations; SwitZ-
erland in winter, however, is n totally
different vision, radiant in dazzling,
spOtleSS white. Jack Frost has i'm
printed a silencing kiss upon the bab-
bling lips of every tiny brook and
mountain stream, and glistening
sheets of the smoothest ice cover also
the limipid blue eyes of ponds and
Alpine lakes. While mother earth is
thus wrapped in n wonderful mantle
Of ice and snow, the sky above has
assumed the matchless hue of pre-
cious sapphire, and the always deli
cious mountain air seems to have ac-
quired some additional qualities which
rejuvenate and strengthen the whole
y
every being. young or old, an ineXpli-
cable feeling of light-hearted happi-
ness. Very shortly, one finds every
body interested and engaged in some
form of winter sport.
There is skating, of course, but
many games compete now with this
oldest of sports on the ice, which has,
however, been developed into an art
which charms the onlooker by the
gracefulness of its movements. and
again astonishes by the cool daring of
its swift rushes.
As in summer over the lawn, so flies
the tennis ball over the ice in the
game of hockey. Curriers' are frantical-
ly sweeping their "stanes" toward the
coveted goal. and the unlimited di-
versity of gymkhana stunts offers con-
slant amusement for the players as
well as for the onlookers.
The improved appliances for sport
requirements have nearly ousted the
old-fashioned herdsmen's sleds which
are now only occasionally used by
timid beginners. The up-to-date We
hicle Is the so-called skeleton. a low,
yard-long toboggan, on which the
rider lies fiat, steering the craft with
hands and feet. Like m arrow, 1t
darts up the iced walls of the curves,
and MS the bewildered spectator fear
fully anticipates an accident, the to-
boggan shoots down into the furrow
and around beautifully shaped curve.
One of the most attractive and GER
tainly very social sport is bob.
slelghing. Long, low, padded tobog-
gans seating rs many as six persons
