Evil Methods inspiring Fear In Hearts
Of Children Not Conducive
70 Best Results.

Power to produce fear Is q poor
weapon. The teacher who uses it is
not doing his best work.
Snakes are feared by reason Of their
sting. So are lions and tigers for rea.
son of their power to produce harm.
Fear is the weapon Of an enemy.
We do not fear our friends, nor car
We fear anything that we love.
Evil Is just absence Of good; for II
cannot exist where good is. And
evil chooses fear for its weapon.
Neither evil nor fear should exist in
the schoolroom, says an exchange.
Good is always stronger than evil |;
love always stronger than fear. Why
should teachers employ evil methods
and inspire fear in the hearts Of chill.
dren when springs of love are bub.
bling up on every side2
There are smiles, and kind words,
and kind thoughts, and deeds Of kind
ness and-but the list Is too great to
complete. These inspire love, and as
weapons are much more efficient than
is fear.
And then there Is faithl When
good loses its trust in its ability to
overcome, fear disarms and evil con.
quers.
An animal will not attack q man
who has absolutely no fear Of it
That Is the secret Of the lontamer's
power. EVIL cannot defeat man who
is strong in good, and therefore he has
no cause to fear evil.

USE CHoPsTICKs IN JAPAN
Old Custom Prevails Among Poorer
Glasses, While the Rich Have Eu.
ropean Knives and Forks.

The use of chopsticks is general In
Japan, except among the richer classes,
who have adopted European knives and
forks, and, to some extent, the Euro
pean cuisine, London Tit-Bits says.
Small bowls of china or lacquered
wood are the usual table equipment.
After the various solid portions Of the
food have been lifted to the mouth
with chopsticks the liquor remaining
Is slipped from the bowl. In the case
Of rice, which would be tedious to pick
up grain by grain, the bowl is often
raised to the mouth and the rice shov.
eled or pushed in with the chopsticks.
1t is also customary to pour little
tea into the rice bowl after it has been
nearly emptied, and in this way the
few remaining grains Of rice are
washed down as the tea is drunk.
At public places the chopsticks at
each meal must be new; this is indi.
Gated by the fact that the chopsticks
are made from one piece of wood and
are left joined together, as were
matches at one time. These new chop
sticks are incased in thin paper en-.

Insects Carry Disease.

Our knowledge Of the connection OF
insects with disease is a very modern
acquisition. In his presidential adj
dress to the Washington Academy Of
Sciences, DR.. L. o. Howard noted that
standard medical works of a score Of
years ago made no mention of the sub
ject, but recent literature records 22d
different disease germs as known 10
have been carried by insects to man or
animals, 81 organisms as known to be
parasitic In insects but not known to
be transmitted, and 2S2 species of in.
sects as discovered caukes or carriers
of diseases Of man or animals. The
transportation by wind Of the body.
louise, the carrier Of typhus fever is
among late discoveries to which many
writer's have given attention. Tick
paralysis is another novel subject, the
disease occurring in Australia, Africa
and North America, and 13 cases have
been reported by single Oregon physi-
clan. Progressive paralysis Of motor
but not sensory nerves follows the at
tachment of the tick. The disease IL
not infectious, and it has not been de-
ctded whether 1t is due to a specific
organism or to nerve shock. Infantile
paralysis Is believed to be one Of the
diseases not carried by insects.

GOLF LINKS AS A LAW COURT
Some Important Cases Have Been Set
tied Far From the Recognized
Halls Of Justice.

The late Sir Thomas Bucknill, when
vacation Judge, once granted an In.
junction on the golf links while actual.
~ playing a round, relates Answers.
On another occasion he granted an
INDUCTION while out shooting. On the
case coming into court counsel said:
'Your lordship may recall the case"
Indeed do" replied the Judge, '.be-
cause yearly killed pheasant, bar.
rister and a solicitor with one shot"
Quite lately one judge tried motor
accident case on the very spot on
which 1t had occurred, and few years
ago a case concerning ancient lights"
vas decided under a tree in a heavy
storm.
Not long since a chancery Judge
heard an application in the waiting
rooms Of railway station.
A woman charged with stealing was
tried by magistrate in>the streets Of
Hoole, and 1t will be remembered that
the late lord chief justice emulated
Sir Thomas Bucknill by deciding q
question In the Crippen case on the
golf links.
And, doubtless, other Judges would
welcome the opportunity to do their
work Tar from the stuffy courts.

vELDT MARKS ITS JEWELLERS
Loneliness and Silence Affect Those

Before the Boer war there was
saying current among the Beers OF
South Africa that you could always

years on the veldt. This was a saying
no less true then than now, for the

loneliness and it leaves its mark Cd
those who dwell in it.

chronic!ed daily things that came un
der his observation, he notes that upon
certain occasion he attended q
church where the minister took as his
subject Progress" He was very fat
tered when the latter quoted about
half of the Psalm Of Life" After re
peating the verses the minister said
II could never read that poem without
feeling the inspiration with which II
was written" To this incident Long
fellow adds: But l had the conceit
taken out Of me on the evening Of that
day, when happened to meet a lady
ut Prescott's and in our conversation
she referred to the sermon In the
morning and added, He quoted some
beautiful verses, but nobody knew

out and with which they armed the
