Excellent Advice

ing to labor. And the miracle never
comes OFF.
Other people want to gain in the
harvest of love without having
earned love. They want to be loved
without ever doing anything to
earn love-
Not long ago man complained
bitterly to me that his wife and
children never showed him any af-
fection, and that he felt an out
slider in his own home.
This man had been a hard and
tyrannical husband and father.
Never, after he married her, did he
show his wife any tenderness. He
rarely spoke to her except " find
fault.
He was stern and cold to his chill
drcn. He never rettcd and ca
ressed them even when they were
babies. He never talked to them. or
| took them on jaunts, or made any
little treats for them. He never
| showed them that he had any love
for them. and they grew up in such
deadly fear of him that ever when
they were men and women they
were silent and constrained in his
presence.
Such a man has no right to ex-
pect his family to love him. He had
| never sown love, and tenderness.
and kindness. and he could no more
reap a rich harvest of affection than
could the farmer gather in the
wheat from the field he had permit
ted to grow up to thistles.
Very many people are like this
man. They do not realize that un-
less they are lovable they cannot
hope to be loved. They go their
| selfish and self-centered way
| through life. trampling over the
rights of others; inconsiderate of
the feelings of others, ignoring the
| joys and sorrows of others. and yet
expect to have affection showered
upon them in spite of their having
done nothing to merit II.
You often hear men and women,
especially old men and women, be-
wailing their loneliness and lack of
friends. Yet in all their long lives
| they have done nothing to win
friendship, or bind another heart to
theirs.
They never held out a helping
hand to anyone in need. They
never put aside their own pleasure
to weep with those who mourned
or rejoice with those who were glad
and so when the time came when
they hungered for human compan-
| ionship and affection, they ached
for 1t in vain. They had failed to
sow the seeds of friendship. and SC
when they came to reap their field
lit was barren.

Don't Direct Child's Pla,

Everything moves in cycles, par
ticularly along the line of physical
education of children. We are be-
ginning to return to the idea Of
natural play as the best means Of
developing the child. Given the
freedom of the play hour the child
will be found to follow the type of
exercise best suited to him. Formal
exercise should never be given to
any child without examination and
prescription from a physician. In
schools where formal exercises are
gone through many children VIII
be found who have heart weakness.
enlarged tonsils, adenoid growths,
spinal curvature and uneven shoul-
ders. They are physically unfit to
do the exercises which only deplete
their already low vitality.
1t is predicted by some of the
leading physical trainers that the
time is coming when formal indoor
gymnasium exercises for normal
pupils or normal students will be
an anomaly. There is all the diff
ference in the world between physi-
cal development and what is called
physical training"
The street child is actually not as
badly off as the child shut up in a
fashionable school: the instinct of
the former will aid him in obtain
ing a physical development from
which the latter is shut away.
Although bereft of the little red
school house" children have not for
gotten how to play; but we some
times forget to leave them space in
which to do 1t.

JACK BRADLEY ON THE MAP.

Jack Bradley, of Greenvilvle
Street, CT -wo capers Sunday. He
came out - lcng pants, in the first
stanza, which cauied him TO sing
the second, consisting of all accident
to the new Buck" car belonging to
the Bradle, household. Jacks broth
er Hugh had planned to drive the
Buck" to church Sunday morning,
but after Jack got on his long pants
and took look at himself in the mir
ror he decided that the man of the
family should sit behind the wheel
of the car. 1t ''is perfectly ridicu-
lous," thought Jack "that boy in
knee pants should want to drive a
car when there is a real man about.
SO when the family had taken their
seats in the car Jack escorted HIM
self, pants and all, to the seat of hon
or in the new Cal.
He drove down Greenville Street
without d hobble, and everything
would have oeen we'll but for the fact
tina: as Jack turned the corner at the
Presbyterian church he could wait
70 longer and took another look at
the pants At this opportune moment
a tree standing on the side of the
street suddenly jumped against the
bumper On the front end of the car,
bending it and badly damaging the
right hand fender. So violent was the
attack of the tree that the car. Jack
was driving was knocked against the
passing car Of Col. J. Billings, caus-
ing the rear wheels of the two cars
to become entsngled in a foreign al
lance in the nature of a league of
nations.
But everything was soon smoothed
out, nobody was hurt, and after the
excitement. everything was lovely
The fact is that the whole cause of
the accident was the refusal of Corp
Kerr to ride to church with Jack.
He was duly invited, and haG he &C
cepted the invitation Jack would
have stopped the car at the church
to let him out, in which interval the
car of Col. Billings would have
passed, and there would probably
have been no accident.

DICKENS RELICS IN DEMAND
Grip" the Raven, Sold for $500,
While SundiaI and Column Fetched
More Than $500.

I notice that Scrip" the raven
immortalized by Dickens in "Barna-
by Rudge," is to be sold by auction.
1t is more than thirty years since it
was previously sold under the ham
mer, and in that period Dickens
relics have appreciated in value, SO
that the bird may fetch more than
the f120 for which the late Alder
man Nottage obtained it.
1t is astonishing to anyone who
is not a Dickensian, to note the
prices paid for mementoes Of the
novelist. Here are few:
An old sundial and column,
formed of one of the balusters of
old Rochester bridge, and used by
Dickens in his garden, once fetched
fifty guineas; "Boz's" writing slope,
the intrinsic value of which was
perhaps five shillings, brought 100
guineas at a sale, and at another
auction the table, chair and looking
glass used by him while editing "All
the Year Round" brought f85.
No less than f95 was once paid
for the petty cash book which he
kept when he was boy of sixteen in

PHOSPHATE IN FEN LANDS
Discovery Made During TIE War Was
OF Immense Value to sritain-sub-
stance Urgently Needed.

The war was responsible for the
discovery of positive Eldorado of
phosphates in England, located in
the fen land of East Anglia. The
value of this mineral was quoted at
$3.50 ton during the war, and the
value was greatly enhanced, due to
the fact that it was practically I'M
procurable in England. There was
an urgent demand for it to be used
IN the manufacture of high explo-
sive shells. Then it was that scien-
lists turned to the fen lands, which
had at one time been a popular play
ground of the numbering ichthyo-
caurian mammoths, and they dis
covered fossil bed of chalk cover
ing thousands of acres. The site of
the beds is at Trumpington, near
cambridge, and soon after the dis
covery village of wooden huts was
erected and the most modern ma
chinery was installed to produce the
Huge burrows were driven
across the land 20 to 80 feet deep,
until a fossil bed was located, and
when furrow was worked out it
was covered up and another dug. In
this way, after 16 months work the
fossil beds produced thousands of
tons of fossil phosphates at cost
Of from $40 to $50 ton. With the
end of the war the exploitation of
the fossil beds, believed to be the
largest in Europe, was discontinued.
