Everyday Psychology
Scientific Scarecrows
By DIR. JESSE VI. sPRowLs.

Every now and then the findings OF
science generate a host OF fears IN the
minds Of those who lack knowledge OF
science. They get excited, they see vi
sions, they dream about horrible Things
just about to happen.
The first real scientific scarecrow was
incubated by Charles Darwin, who saw
what every one can see, namely, some
striking physical resemblances between
man and the monkeys. Then visions
began to generate in the minds OF the
unscientifc. They began to wonder II
they were not in some way related to
the monkeys. Horrible thought! OF
course, they never thought of going to
Darwin himself. They were content to
listen to what some one said Darwin
said.
Then the physicists Matched another
nest of scarecrows. They began to talk
about universal energy, and the amount
of it that is possibly contained In one
little atom OF matter. When this theory
which is perfectly legitimate for scien-
tific reasoning. got all its feathers the
unscientific began to wonder what would
happen If some long-bearded scientist
should take 1t into his head to release
some of this energy. A grain OF sand
would blow up the universe!
Next in order was a group of men
who discovered that we were In theory
just as old as our glands and arteries.
They found that diet and exercise. If
properly controlled. would enable men
to live longer. Again the unscientiflc
began to say that we might reasonably
expect to live $50 years. This could
only mean overpopulation and starva-
ton!
When the "late disturbance" In Eu-
rope was over the unscientific began to
look back upon the devastation on the
Marne and on the fields Of Flanders
Terrible things, this scientific way of
annihilating men. Science would ruin
the world!
Now those who have first-hand knowl-
edge of science know that its laws are
as conservative as the multiplication
table. So men of science are not wor-
ried about what science will do. Men of
science are not afraid of knowledge.
They are afraid of the conditions which
keep knowledge from being assimi!ated.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.
Mouths Closed.

Children ought to be taught to keep
their mouths closed while in the open
air. Many cold has started on its
devastating course because a child
raced into the cold air with wide open
mouth. Drawing the breath through
the nose warns it, the tiny hairs inside
the nose strain out the dust. Noses were
meant for breathing. Mouths were in
tended to be closed unless it was time
to talk or eat or laugh out loud.
Tonsils are sensitive things and need
all the care they get. A draught' of cold
air loaded with dust Is not quite the way
to care for them. Teeth are sensitive
to cold and blast of icy air sets them
singing unhappily. A child is much
when playing In the Winter air.
Mouths do not get enough attention.
Children ought to know that it is better
to wipe their mouths dry before going
into the cold air If it is very cold out
doors a trace Of cold cream wiped on
the lips will keep them from cracking.
Licking the lips while playing in the
frosty air brings on the chapped condi-
ton that is so painful and so fruitful
of infection.
Washing the inside of the mouth does
that are well brushed every morning,
rinSed after each meal, will not be so
likely to show decay. Clean teeth, all
cavities filled, are positive help to
health. Keeping the mouth clean, closed
and dry will help the nose.
Winter is hard on childrens noses.
There is so little time to wipe noses,
what with lessons and play and run
ming about that the poor things are
sadly neglected. A sniff has to answer
the purpose of handkerchief. Con-
slant neglect brings on unpleasant and
unhealthy conditions that extend into
throat and ears.
AS part OF the morning toilet a child
should clear his nose. It is not neces-
sary to blow violently. A gentle blow
ing, gentler wiping with soft hand
kerchief is all that is necessary. II that
is attended to every morning, the need
for mining and snufflng, the necessity
for mouth breathing, vanishes and with
it all its Ills.
1t is not easy to blow a small nose
just the right way. There is a certain
technique to be learned. Very gently
blow-then very daintily wipe with a
soft rag. Wipe the nose, not the upper
lip. Children come to school with upper
lips secured raw because they wine
downward, including the upper lip in
a generous downward sweep of the stiff
handkerchief. The lips need no wiping.
After the morning .ministrations are
ended, make sure that the child carries
a soft handkerchief with him ready for
use. 1t is good to save old handker-
chiefs for this purpose. It is necessary
to keep the nose clear, the mouth clean
and closed. Cold weather makes this
important.

Famous Duels and Duelists
American Minister Spain Taught French Marquis Good
Manners With Pistol.
BY ]. p. GLASS.

Nowadays when Americans are criti-
cized so bitterly aboard they grin and
bear it. But there was q time when
they acted differently. Apparently, too,
with good effect.
For instance, in 1855, after Pierre
Soule, American Minister TO, Spain, and
his son, Neville, had finished dealing
with certain individuals none was left
who wished to say bitter things about
people from the United States. at least
in France or Spain.
But of course. those days have passed.
Today, even II there was a desire to do
so, no one could initiate the Soules.
The trouble began in this country.
During the administration of President
Pierce a proposal to annex Cuba be-
came the all-abSorbing subject of dis
cussion in the United States, and nat
urally in European chancelleries.
President Pierce appointed Pierre
Soule American Minister to Spain. Mr..
Soule while a member OF Congress had
supported Cuban annexation. When he
passed through France on his way to
Spain he was subjected to annoyance
and slight from the government of
Napoleon III.
He had scarcely arrived in Madrid
before this treatment was renewed
through the French embassy. Mr..
Soule speedily found way to end the
unpleasantness.
Turgot, gave a ball at his palace. Gus
tom necessitated that the American
Minister and his family be invited.
When they arrived, the marquis, with
the Duke Of Alva and others, was
standing ut the entrance to the ball
room.
The soules paid their compliments to
their host and passed on. One OF De
Turgot's friends, looking after them,
said:
"That Nine. soule Is a beautiful
The French Minister answered
haughtily:
do you think so? Well, I do not
share your admiration of this woman.
She strongly reminds me OF Margaret
+, of Burgundy"
This remark was carried to Soule.
If De Turgot had expected the Ameri-
can to do nothing, he was mistaken.
In no time he felt nudge in his side
and turned to look into the angry eyes
of Soule.
"You shall answer to me for your
indecent remarks" said the Minister.
"You shall hear from me tomorrow"
Overnight 1t was whispered about
that the Duke of Alva, not the French
Minister, had spoken disparagingly of
Mrs. Soule. Perhaps De Turgot's cour-
| age had diminished At any rate, the
duke was one Of the best swordsmen in
| Spain. But the Frenchman was not to
escape.
Though he never had handled a
sword in his life, Neville Soule, son of
the American Minister, challenged the
duke. He attacked with such fury that
the Spaniard's workmanship was of
no avail. He was wounded In the neck
and apologized to young Soule.
