'HERE PARENTS
HAKE MISTAKES.
In days gone by tlie school girl
f wore short dresses and braided her
hair and remained a girl until her
•education was completed. In these
latter times it is difficult to deter
mine when a girl becomes a wo
man and enters into society. Ev
en the little tots in the lower
grades are used in society func
tions and trained in society ways,
and by the time they have reached
the high school, society has such a
strong hold upon them that books
and lessons are sadly neglected.
Society and schools are incom
patible and it is either one or the
other. The two can never become
reconciled. The student who at
tends some social function in the
•evening is not lit for school the fol
lowing day. Lessons are necessa
rily neglected and the mind has
become so distracted that it is not
in a receptive condition for the
truths and principles presented by
the teacher and scarcely does the
ill effect of one society event pass
away until another is presented,
and thus the pupil goes through
the period of high school work,
deriving very little benefit from
the time thus spent.
In order to educate the mind
there must he concentration of
thought and whatever disturbs or
destroy es this concentration re
tards and obstructs the natural de
velopment. Hence the pupil
should be guarded from all excite
ment and from everything that
has a tendency to detract the mind
away from the regular school work.
Of course, recreation is an abso
lute necessity, but the proper re
creation is not furnished h\ socie
ty events of modern social cus
toms. It is natural that all parents
should desire the highest possible
good for their offspring, and a
thorough education is essential to
success as well as happiness, and
youth is unquestionably the prop
er time for securing the necessary
intellectual development.
In the light of these things, it is
strange that fathers and mothers
will permit their children while
yet in school to develop into soci
ety devotees. Unquestionably
there is enough of worry, excite
ment and disappointment in mod
ern society to get enough of such
necessary evil, though it be post
poned a> long as possible. Many
a girl is old in the ways of society
and is actually faded and worn by
the time she is well grown up. The
English are wiser in these things
than are the Americans and regu
late their households with better
judgment, and perhaps we will in
time learn from them how to con
trol these things.
If mothers more thoroughly un
derstood that they are doing their
daughters a positive injury by giv
ing their consent to that which
dissipates the strength both men
tally and physically, the teachers
would have strong allies in every
home.
The Death Penalty.
A little thins sometime result
in death. Thus a mere scratch,
insignificant cuts or puny boils
have pai 1 the death penalty. It is
wise to have Buckleu’s Arnica
Salve ever handy. It's the best
salve on earth and will prevent
fatality, when burns, sores, ulcers
and piles treated. Only 25c. at

SERIOUS JOHN SHERMAN.
Famous Statesman Was Impervious
to the Most Penetrating
Witticisms.
Two interest ing anecdotes of
John Sherman, showing his utter
lack of apprecial ion of humor, are
thus recorded in the autobiogra
phy of Senator Hoar:
“He used occasionally to ask
me to go to ride with him. One
hot summer afternoon Mr. Sher
man said: 'Let us go over and see
t he new elect ric railroad,' to which
1 agreed. That was then a great
curiosity. It was perhaps the
first street railroad—certainly
the first one in Washington—
which had electricity for its mo
tive power.
“Mr. Sherman told his driver to
lie very careful. He said the
horses were very much terrified by
the electric cars.
“1 said: 'I suppose they are like
the labor reformers. They see con
trivances fordoing without their
labor, and they get very angry and
uanifest displeasure.’
“Mr. Sh(*nii;in pondered for a
I moment or two, and tlieu said,
with great seriousness: 'Mr.
Hoar, tin* hoist* is a very intelli
gent animal, hill it really does not
seem to me that he ran reason as
far as that.’
“I told tin* general of it after
ward, who was full of fun, and
asked him if In* really believed his
brother thought 1 made that re
mark seriously, to which lit* re
plied that lie had no doubt of it—
that John never had the slightest
concept ion of a jest.
“At another time, one very hot
summer day, Mr. Sherman said:
Hoar, 1 think I shall takearide;
I am rather tired. When a vote
comes up, will you announce that
l am paired with my colleague?’
1 called out to Senator Rollins, of
New Hampshire, who sat a little
way olf, and who kept the record
of pairs for the republican side:
‘Rollins, there will he no vote this
afternoon, except one on a funeral
resolution in honor of Mr. Allen,
of Missouri. Will you kindly an
nouneo that Mr, Sherman is
paired with his colleague?’ Mr.
Sherman got up in great haste
and went over in Mr. Rollins and
said: ‘Mr. Rollins. Mr. Hoar en
tirely misunderstood me. 1 should
never think of announcing a pair
on a funeral resolution.’ ”
HORSE WAS NO YEARLING.
But Being a Gift the Reverend Re
cipient Accepted It with
Good Grace.
There are missionaries as well
as moonshiners in Kentucky, gava
the Washington Times, and Sena
tor ltlackburn tells this interest
ing story about a preacher, a
horse and a plain-spoken moun
taineer:
••Preachers in many rural dis
tricts of southern states have tri
als and tribulations as they go
from meeting house to meeting
house to deliver the word of (»od.
They are a hard worked and poor
ly paid lot, and yet there is little
grumbling.
"I once heard of a now liorse be
injjt presented to one of t lu*s<*
preachers who had many miles of
mountainous territory to cover
in order to till his appointments.
The animal was not tine—in fact,
it was what might be called a
‘stack of bones.’
“Tin* horse was presented to the
preacher one Sunday just before
the service began. Quite a crowd
of men were standing around dis
cussing its qualifications. The
preacher remarked: *1 am much
pleased with my new steed. The
horse is as good as the animal our
blessed Saviour rode.”
“‘I guess that may be 'bout
right, parson,’ said the lank
mountaineer, ‘an’ darned ef 1
hain’t of t In* 'pinion hit's the same
one.'
This broke up the crowd. The
preacher entered the meeting
house and delivered his sermon.”
Electrified Racehorse.
While a jockey was being
weighed after a winning race at
Dortmund, an electric battery
was discovered concealed in the
saddle. By an ingenious contriv
ance an electric shock could In1
sent from it along the harness be
hind the saddle, and as the stew
ards considered that illegal influ
ence might thus have heenyxerted
on the horse they disqualified the
jockey and gave the saddle to the
charge of the police.
Tuberculosis in Belgium,
ll is estimated that tin-deaths
from tuberculosis throughout the
kingdom of Belgium in lb<>4 were
i l.‘!,4t!7. This malady is seeming
1 ly on the increase and efforts are
| being made to provide sanatori
. urns for the afflicted. The province
of Liege has already expended
i 1,300,000 francs ($1*50,000) in tffis
matter, and will go further in its
endeavor to offer medical care and
attention to the afflicted.
Liquid Air Power.
Careful tests at Cornell univer
sity demonstrated that a one
horse power engine working con
tinuously for one hour could pro
duce only enough liquid air, when
converted into power, to run a
one-horse power engine one min
ute.
