Proper View of Life.

Why is it, 1 wonder, that the little
boy almost always imagines that out
side of home is to be found the larger
liberty? Why do young men fondly
dream that yonder, always yonder, is
to be found business opportunity
Why does the dissolute man conclude
that, outside the common virtues of
society, he is to find the larger life7
For you, my son, will sometime find
that your largest liberty was in the
old home, where, if there was author
ity, there was also deep and abiding
love; and you, my friend, will find
that others succeeded In your home
town, while you failed in the world;
and you, my iberty-loving man, will
most surely realize, that in the COM
mon virtues of the simply good life
is to be found what you seek in the
by-paths of the world. Find the wealth
that lies everywhere about you. Prac-
tice the virtues that you know. Cher
ish the love that is yours now. Value
the friends that you have known; and
in the superficial you will find the
profound and in the simple things
the things eternal.-St. Johns Bulle-

A curious form of water-hole is
foand In the deserts of western Aus
tralia. dry by day but yielding an
abundant supply Of water by night
The flow Of water is preceded by
weird kissing and sounds of rushing
air. On examining one it was found
that the water supply occurred in a
long. narrow trench, at the bottom OF
which was a thin plate of gneiss "a
species of rock arranged In layers),
separated by cavity from the main
rock mass beneath. Apparently the
heat OF the day causes this plate to
expand in the form of depression,
In which the water retreats. When 1t
cools and contracts at night it forces
first air and then water back into the
trench.

STORIES AID TO TEACHING
They Are OF Little Value, However,
Unless Teacher Enters Into
Recital With Enthuszsm.

All children love stories. The earll-
est memories Of most Of us are inter
twined with the wonderful narratives
Of fairies and COLLINS told by grand
parents at bedtime. And so vivid were
the impressions made, that even now,
In spite of our scientific knowledge and
logical reasoning, we sometimes find
ourselves subconsciously believing 1t
all.
This natural love of stories may be
and should be made the basis of all
historical teaching But however seri-
Gus our purposes may be, the storieS
themselves should be a source Of joy
to the hearer.
Conscientious teachers, taking up
the task of storytelling as an added
obligation of schoolroom duty, wonder
why the results are not what the evil
dence Of other story-tellers had led
them to believe. Storytelling as a
duty, Enlightened and unbrightened by
genuine love of the story and an
eagerness for the Joy ii is to bring to
the listeners, can never prove a sue
cess.
The story-teller must enter with all
his heart and all his enthusiasm into
the life and beauty of the story he is
telling, in order to achieve the best re-
suits. Without this he cannot win the
response of his hearers, nor reap the
reward which should be his own.

No Deaths Reported
in Dispatch of U. S.
Minister to WASHINGTON

Washington, June 8. - DISPATCHES
from American Minister Long, at San
salvador, sent at . o'clock last night
while the volcano of San Salvador was
erupting, said part of the city had
beeH destroyed by fire, but that il was
under control Great damage was
done.
The dispatch said that about 6:35
p. n1., yesterday. severe earth shocks
began and continued until S:45 with
varying degrees of intensity
At about S:45 the volcano of San
salvador began to belch forth fire and
smoke apparently on the side toward
Quentzaltepeque. There was later one
very severe shock, but the tremors of
the earth continued with decreasing
violence. At the same time there was
steady shower of dry ashes failing
over the city.
The report says damage IN The
american legation building will rem
der II uninha bitable but that all rec
ords are safe. 1t adds that all other
clty property appeared practically un-
tenable. One important central busi-
ness section had been destroyed bv
hre, which, at the time of telegraph
ing. seemed to be under control. No
deaths were reported in the minis
ters dispatch as being known at that
hour 1t is quite possible that further
volcanic eruption, fire or earthquake
might have wrought greater damage
after the sending of his dispatch,
