MAKING A MAN OF THE BOY
schooImaster Has the Great Task h
Hand, and on Him Depends the
Final Important Outcome.

The sum of all admOnitions is that
the schoOlbOy must pay attention. That
Is precisely what he is doing, writes
S. NJ. Crothers, in the Atlantic. he is
paying attention to variety of things
that escape the adult mind. AS he
wriggles on the bench in the school
room he pays attention to all that is
going ON. He attends to what is going
on out-of-d doors; he sees the weak
points of his fellow pupils against
whom he Is planning punitive expedi-
tons; and he is delightfully."- conscious
Of the idiosyncrasics Of the teacher
Moreover, he is a youthful artist and
his sketches from life give acute joy
to his contemporaries when they are
furtively passed around
But the schoolmaster says sternly !:
my boy, you must learn to pay atten-
ton; that is to say, you must not pay
attention to so many things, but YOU
must pay attention t. one thing, name
ly the second declension."
Now the second declension Is the
least interesting thing In the room,
but unless he confines his attention to
1t he will never learn it. Education
demands narrowing Of attention In the
interest of efficiency.
A man may, by dint of application
to particular subject, become q sue
Cessful merchant or real estate nan Gr
chemist or Ovprseer Of the poor. But
he cannot be all these things at the
same time. He must make his choice.
Having in the presence Of witnesses
taken himself for better or for worse,
he must, fOrsaking all others, cleave
to that alone. The consequence IS
that by the time he is forty he has
become one kind of a man and is able
to do one kind of work.

Wond"rful animal groups ut the Amer-

thrilling experiences, one Of which he
describes in the New York Sun as fol-

Elephants are no more conspicuous

Largest Snakes in Brazil.

The largest snakes known are found
In Brazil, and one would have to go
far into the interior to find them.
They are found in the immense valley
Of the Amazon river and it's tIibu-
taries, observes a naturalist. This ex-
tensive basin, being low ground, con-
sists partly Of swamps and forest jun
gle, into which white men seldom pen
citrate. The forest and vegetation are
so dense that the sun cannot get
through to the ground, and being right
under the equator, the continual, OPP
presslve, moist heat makes this Jungle
and swamps the ideal breeding place
for the big snakes and other reptiles.
However, of the $50 varieties Of
snakes known in Brazil, not 10 per
cent are venOmous, and of these very
few Of the big ones. OF the non-ven-
Omous ones the largest and the best
known is the boa constructor.

MILK IN WINTER.

Why do your cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not supply
them with grasses and green food.
But we have come to the assistance
of Dame Nature with B. A. Thomas
Stock Remedy which contains the
very ingredients that the green feed
supplies in season, only, of course,
in more highly concentrated form.
We guarantee that this remedy will
make your cows give more milk, and
better milk, with the same feed.

Apart from theological discussions,
such as those rising from the addition
Of the words, land the son." in the
creed, the separation of the Latin and
Greek churches may be traced to the
founding Of Constantinople and the
political division of the Roman en-
pire, according to a Bible student.
Ignatius, patriarch Of ConstantinOple,
had been deposed, and was succeeded
by PhOtius, who summoned a council
of the East in 1857, and passed SEN
tence of excOmmunlcation on the bish-
OPP of Rome. The churches became re-
united towards the end of the ninth
century. and remained SO until the
middle of the eleventh century, when
In 1854 Michael Cerularius, patriarch
of the East, renewed the condemna-
ton of the Latin church, and was in
turn communicated by Pope Leo
TX. Efforts toward reunion were
made from time to time, and at Fer
rara (1439) the Greek prelates signed
a decree of union, but were forced
by the people and clergy to repudiate
1t. Since then the two cOmmuniOns
have remained separate.

toned off 200 pictures of herself in it.

Over Here While They're Over There. "

graphed by President Wilson and

"The broadgauge railway has been

fifty miles. The old Turkish line from
Lodd to Jerusalem and the more recent
military branch line from GAIA to
Surar junction have been restored and

lines, which are constantly expanding.
stretching now across the whole

IS Per Cent of Women
OF East Side Qualify
To Become Voters

East Side mothers apparently thought
more of their holy day and their
Saturday housework than they did of
the privilege of enrolling in political
parties yesterday, for while their sis
ters in some uptown districts stood in
long lines to qualify for the primaries
the women of the Bowery and East
Broadway struggled in casually and
infrequently to avail themselves of the
first experience in the great adventure
of voting.
With their babies on one arm, their
Sunday dinner under the other and
their naturalization papers tucked in
somewhere among the carrots and po-
tatoes, about 10 per cent of those eli
gible did appear in the morning and
afternoon, however. These were Ital-
ians, Irish and unorthodox Jews, for
the orthodox Jews may not write on
their Sabbath. 1t was not until after
sundown, therefore, that the Jewish
mothers appeared in any numbers. The
East Side women as a whole probably
made about q 25 per cent showing.
If it had not been for the working
have probably been even fewer enrol
ments. for everywhere the mothers
were piloted to the booth by their more
aggressive young daughters, whose
first act on returning from work was
to take mamma" by the hand and
lead her to the candy store or barber
shop to enroll. Mamma would often be
self-conscious and fearful of her right
to enter the sacred booth, but the diff
fcult business of answering questions
and the painful duty of signing her
name were engineered through by the
daughter, who then would rattle off
the answers to her own QUESTIONABLE
with the air of veteran.

Miss Lusk Was Insane.
Expert Testi6es
First Alienist for Defence Is
Called After Defendant
Finishes Life Story

WAUKESHA, Wis, May 25.-Grace
Lusk completed telling the story Of her
life to-day at her trial for Staying
Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts, and the
defence Immediately began the intro
duction CT expert testimony to prove
her insane.
DR.. H. w. Powers, of Milwaukee, in
answering Hypothetical question
nearly i've thousand words in length,
declared that in his opinion the de-
fendant was not of sufficient mental
capacity at the time of the tragedy to
distinguish Between right and wrong,
and that she was suffering from
paranoia.
The question recited at great length
Miss Lusk's early history, the fact that
she frequently suffered from headaches
which rendered her unable to perform
her duties as school teacher, that there
was an apparent strain of insanity in
her family, that just before meeting
DR.. Roberts she had suffered a nervous
breakdown, and her relations with the
veterinarian. Stress was laid on
points which had been emphasized in
the testimony of both Dr. ROBBERS and
Miss Lusk.
After Miss Lusk left the stand her
aged father, A. P. Lusk, was called by
the defence and testified that when he
was on -'is honeymoon his wife at
tempted to commit suicide because of
some trivial remark he had made.
More alienists will be called Monday
to testify for both the prosecution and
Defence
