Primitive Methoa. Of Earm;nr.

In Central America many primitive
agricultural implements are sill re-
tanned. The native farmer still uses
a pillow with a crooked tree-branch
pointed with iron. The objection to
the modern two-handIed pillow is that
one hand is needed for guiding the ami
mails, hence the introduction into Hon
duras of trial modern-style pillow
with one handle.

Government in a well-constituted re-
public requires no belief from man be.
yond what his reason authorizes. He
sees the rationale of the whole system,

it is best supported when best under

holiness and acquire, under this form
of government, a gigantic manliness.
