Osfracism.

AT one period in the history of
ancient Greece the people of Attica
possessed the power Of removing from
the state, without making definite
charge, any leader of the people likely
TO overthrow the government. This
was so abused that In time 1t became
the right to drive into exile any per
son who had become unpopular with
out much regard to the cause Of his
loss of popularity. The decision was
arrived at by vote, each citizen writ
ing his vote on an oyster shell. The
Greek word for oyster shell, expressed
N our alphabet, is OstracOn, and bS-

JUNE HUMANE THOUGHT

"No mother need fear her boy be-
coming a criminal who has been
taught kindness to animals. "-Bohe-
milan proverb.
Humane work means more than pro-
viding relief for suffering animals or
human beings. 1t includes the instill-
alton of the spirit of kindness nj the
hearts of children, which in the future
will bear fruit in the character build
ing of the world.
Nations which have ben careful to
guard the rights of their dumb ami
mails, and have taught their youth
these principles, have fewer criminals
than those nations which have deemed
humane work a non-esSential. India
with its 300 million population, has
less crime than England with SO mil
lion. Japan has fewer criminals than
probably any country CT its size. Both
India and Japan have laid much en-
phasis upon teaching children to re-
spect the rights of dumb animals.
And the children, having learned this
lesson, have practiced it in later life
in relation to their fellow men.
Development of high forms of char
acter is vital in the building of a ma
ton. In seeking this accomplishment,
we spend much money in various
forms of education. We also spend
millions to correct and punish our
criminals. No form of education, how
ever is moreeffective than the actual
practice of the spirit of kindness.
This is no experiment. 1t is good
common sense. 1t has been tried and
has been found to pay. In this day
when crime appears to be on the in
crease, why not commence teaching
our children systematically and eff
fectually the principles of kindness to
animals?
The lessons practiced will react up
on him who practices them. And If
it will help to reduce crime here as it
has in other countries, it will have
been an investment much worth while.

The Home of the Soul

In olden times, it was believed that
the seat of the soul was the stomach,
most likely for the reason that q man
is never so completely used up as when
his stomach is out of order. For the
cure of ordinary stomach troubles,
there is nothing quite so prompt and
satisfactory as Chamberlain's Tablets.
They strengthen the stomach and en-
able it to perform its functions natur-
ally. Give them trial. They only
cost q quarter.
