EDUCATION OF THE STREETS
Children With Poor Environments
Stand Low In Higher Forms of In
teiIiaence, Tests Show.

1t Is a common belief that the chill
dren of the poorer classes in large cit
les acquire certain amount of valua-
bic education by running the streets.
Actual tests usually indicate, however,
says the Journal Of Heredity, that such
children stand very low In all the high
er forms of intelligence, and this might
have been suspected from an examina-
ton Of the environment in which they
are brought up. Association with old
er people is one of the most important
factors in child's education; but in
the poorer classes the dwellings are
so small that child must spend most
of his waking hours outside, and no.
where does he come in close contact
with many older persons of ability.
No matter how much one may adj
mire the development of modern indus
trial society, he can hardly believe that
it offers a full and rich environ
ment in which a child may unfold"
If a child had inherited ability (and
many Of the children who roam the
streets have not) 1t could hardly be
called into full play by the stimulus
of a modern city street which, COM
pared with the country, offers little
for a child to do. Much has been said
modern city conditions it is conceiva-
BILE that child idleness may sometimes
be equally injurious.

PERSIANS FOND OF SHERBET
Much Time Is Devoted to Preparation
Of Beverage, Of Which There Are
Many Varieties.

The great beverage in Persia Is
sherbet, which is plentifully supplied
and Of which there are many varieties
from the bowl of water with q
squeeze of lemon TO the clear concen-
trated juice of any sort of fruit TO
which water is added to dilute IL.
The preparation of sherbet, which Is
done with greatest care. is a very i'm
pOrtant point in so thirsty a country
as Persia, and one to which much time
is devoted. 1t may be either expressed
from the juice of fruit freshly gath
cred or from the preserved extract of
pOmegranates. cherries or lemons,
mixed with sugar and submitted to q
certain degree Of heat to preserve
it for winter consumption.
Another sherbet much drunk is
called guzangebben; it is made from
the honey of the tamariSk tree. This
honey is not the work of the bee. but
the product of small insect or worm
living in vast numbers under the leaves
of the shrub. During the months Of
August and September the insect is
collected and the honey is preserved.
When used for sherbet it is mixed with
vinegar and, although not so delicious
as that made from fruit. it makes an
excellent temperance beverage. Only
among the rich and fashionable are
glasses used; in all other cases sher-
bet is served in china bowls and drunk
from deep wooden spoons carved in
pearwOod.

One-Sided RECOGNITION.

They passed on the street without

recognition and challenge. She was
accompanied by a female friend, and
he had male companion. When they
had passed the girl said:
THAT was poor Jack Jurgens. He
didn't speak, but you noticed his look,
didn't you? Poor boy, it hurts me to
think how he has never got over my
refusal to marry him. OF course he
was all broken up at the time. but
thought he would soon get over. it.
He's thinner, isn't he? do hope that
he hasn't plunged into dissipation. He
couldn't trust himself to speak. could
he? Oh, dear!"
And the man was saying:
"Did you see how that dame gave
me the eye? 1 suppose 1 should have
spoken to her, because 1 can't help
thinking I've met her somewhere-her
face is familiar. but I can't place her."
