ODD METHOD OF DISCIPLINE
Something New, but Southern School
Teacher Found II Exceedingly
Effective Idea.

While a country school superfn-
tendent in the South was making a
tour of inspection, he visited a negro
school where the order maintained by
the teacher was remarkable. Every
child seemed to be absorbed In the
school work and yet the teacher did
not impress the superintendent as a
disciplinarian. Finally, after watching
proceedings for while, he turned and
said in a low tone to the teacher:
"Johnson, how in the world do you
keep such good order7 Do you whip
the children muchT
"No, SIR" the teacher declared; Il
never whip them"
"Do you keep them mr.
"No, sir, never keep them in"
"Do you make them do extra work
for punishmentT
"No, sir, 1 never make them do any
extra work"
"Then how do you manage them?"
swell, sir, I'll tell you" the teacher
replied confdentially. when they
don't do right just eat up their din
ner, and don't have any more
trouble"

ANCIENT PEOPLE A MYSTERY
GAIA May Throw Light on
Philistines-

A further attempt is to be made this
summer to solve the mystery of the
Philist,nes."
Professor Garstand, the archeolo-
gist, has returned to Palestine after
his visit to England and has started
to mark out sites for further excava-
lions.
During the past two years the pro-
fessor and his assistants have been
engaged in making exploration on the
sites of the ancient cities of Askalon
and GAIA.
This season trial explorations are to
be made upon a series Of tells" Ear
tif1cial hill mounds the debris of sue
cessive cities near the two sites of
Askalon and GAIA. Little Is known of
the national history of the Philistines,
and it is the object of the new excava-
lions to get at the problem of this
mysterious race.
Professor Garstand considers that 1t
would be too prolonged and expensive
business to dig through the great
depth of Graeco-Roman buildings to
the deeper layers in which lie the
Philistine remains Of the city Of Aska-
lon, Sc that the excavations Will be
outside the walls of the city. A good
deal of pottery has been discovered
and few weapons which may have
been used against King David.
Many theories have been advanced
as to who the Philistines were, and
from whence they came, but 1t Is gen.
orally believed their origin was In the
neighhorhood of the island Of Cyprus.
Reference Is made to them In the pre-
Mosaic period, but for at least 1900
years they have remained mystery.

A Strange Death.

During a great storm along the
bank of the River Wollondilly, New
South Wales, a terrific wind swept
along the valley and bent the willows
double.
A bullock owned by rancher Of
Rossville, was feeding directly under
the fork of tall tree when the hurri-
cane burst. The tree, forced almost
double, whirled downward, the forked
branch gripping the OK from neck to
flank and closing on the doomed ami
NAL like a living vice.
To an onlooker 1t seemed as If the
tree had bent and picked the animal
of the ground. One instant the bull
lock was feeding, the next he was
swinging in mid-air the life crushed
out of him.
The branch had such a strong hold
that il had to be sawn through before
the carcass could be released.

HAVE MANY GOOD QUALITIES
Wasps Are by No Means Merely the
Annoying Singing Creatures So
Commonly Supposed.

The human view of wasps seems to
be lacking In breadth. Because they
are given to singing US we fail to do
Justice to their virtues. One scientist
who has given much study to the mat
ter SAYS that the main doctrines OF the
wasp are: III any wasp will not work,
neither shall he eat" and Every wasp
to labor according to his capacity, and
receive according to his needs IN
free community"
Division of labor, 1t Is believed, goes
a long way in the nest Some OF the
workers seem to be specially employed
as foragers and soldiers; others appear
to be told off as nurses and guardians
while yet others are engaged as paper
makers and masons.
Wasps are at all times particularly
fond of honey.a Indeed they have
very sweet tooth for sugar in any form.
toward the end Of summer, therefore,
as beekeepers well know, they will
force their way into beehives as open
robbers and carry off by main force
as much as they can gorge of their
winged neighbors' honey.
The drones Of the race, instead OF
being idle and luxurious creatures, are
sober, Industrious and well behaved
members Of the community. They
clean the streets of their own town
with exemplary diligence; they act as
public scavengers or sanitary officers.
And they have their reward; for, I'M
like the doomed bee drones, they live
their allotted life in peace and quiet
ness, till winter involves both them
and their spinster sisters in one COM
mon cataclysm of death and destruc-
ton.
