i Making Children Think. There is no end of discussion as ,0 what courses of study shall be taken up by the schools. Different views are expressed, ranging from the bare ! outlines of the old-time “three Rs" to the most elaborate idea of culture study, or more practical forms of teaching hand work and home arts. Meanwhile, there Is one great essential running for all Instruction. That is, that children be taught to think things out for themselves. Almost any i course of study is good If this power is given.—St Joseph News-Press. Polygamy In the Doll House. ‘You’ve had this sailorboy doll a long time, Annie,” said a mother to her little daughter, "and the janitor's little girl Is 111, and hasn’t any doll to play with. Don’t you want to send her your sailorboy?” “I’d rather she had any one of the others,” was the ■ surprising answer. “You see, mamma, that's the only man we have In the family, and he’s married to all the other dolls.” —Youth's Companion. • An Odd Crime; Lady Bowyer-Smith Is an English woman who has been guilty of the crime of vulpicide, which Is simply In plain English that she has killed a fox in some other way than the EngI lish way, with the hounds. It Is con- ' sidered almost as great a crime as to : kill a man for anyone to shoot or othI erwlse make way with a fox, which Is regarded as the special prey of the hounds.—Cincinnati Times-Star. No Souvenir Desired. A souvenir collector approached the manager of a famous restaurant and said: “Permit me, sir, to return this silver champagne bucket and this Sevres coffee set. I took the liberty, before I ordered my dinner, of appropriating them as souvenirs. But after the meal you served me —well, really —some things are better forgoten than souvenired.” Recognized Word at Once. A little nine-year-old boy was laboriously looking up his spelling words in the dictionary when he came upon one whose meaning was perfectly apparent to him. He dashed off a sentence containing the word “capsize” and passed to the next. Imagine the teacher’s amusement when he recited glibly, “My cap size is No. 6.”—Delia eator. J Then He Bought the Ring. Affable Widow —“Do -you know, Mr. Oldboy, my daughter Maud has set her eyes most lovingly on you?" Mr. Old boy (much flattered) —“Has she, really? I have always considered her a sweet girl.” Affable Widow—“ Yes, only today she said ‘that's the-sort of gentleman I should like tor my pap!”’ Satisfied. Five-year-old Margie had traveled about a great deal during her short life. One day her aunt remarked: “Through all her travels, Margie always seems happy and contented.” "Yes,” said Margie, “no matter where I go, I always find some dirt to play in.” Segregate Art Treasures. Why not set apart one country where art treasures of the world can be segregated? Maybe Providence has been using American millionaires as blind instruments, 1 so far as they have been activ in removing European art treasures to this country. Still Human. Bureaus of municipal research are supposed to know just how to make things run smoothly, but it seems that they are not all endowed with facilities for producing perfect peace and efficiency among themselves. ' Remedy for Croup. Beat the white of an egg to a stiff troth, then sweeten a little and add a little pulverized alum. Give a teaspoonful every ten or fifteen minutes until relief comes. Easy Victims. There are nearly always enough people who do not read the newspapers on board a big ocean liner to make the voyage interesting for a few card sharps. Uncle Eben. “Sufferin’ in silence is admirable," said Uncle Eben. “But de chicken dat won’t squawk when he's bein' lifted off'n de roost carries it to an extreme.” _ J Shark a Long-Distance Swimmer. The shark holds the recqrd for long-distance swimming. A shark has been known to cover 800 miles in three days. Daily Thought. A strange volume of real life in the packet of the postman.

Knew Something AboutJ*’ t Shocked Visitor— -"Do you mean to say, Bobble, that you have never the Bible?” not up appearances)—“oil, 1 |8 have read It, but I know • ’ all right." "Well, what ia it. '' b D , it’s the book they get moviug P stories from." —Life. Murderous Plant*. There are plants whose roots, tentacles, feel about until they tout some live prey, then send fort a stinging hair which shocks and para lyzes the victim, giving the claws * chance to close about him. A Hard Blow. “Poor Mrs. de Keegur is brokenhearted. They can’t send her any more Paris gowns. That suit she* wearing was made here in town. “What a pity! I never saw her looking so well.” Some Help. Mrs. Datus—“Do you find your gymnasium work helpful?” Mrs. Artigue . —"Helpful! Why, this morning I was the first one to reach a bargain coun- ' ter out of a bunch of a hundred starters.” Daily Thought. When you have to be advised and supervised your value Is merely noml j nal; the phenomenal man who always draws the big fee Is the one who can do his task without being told. i Clever Woman. The average woman, the Golden City Tribune points out, can do almost anything with a hairpin except sharpen a pencil, and she can do that with her teeth. Live Longer on Peninsulas. It is stated that the residents of Islands and small peninsulas live longer than persons who dwell on the mainland. A Luscious Criticism. “Her criticisms," said Mrs. Twickembury, "were extremely succulent.” —Christian Register. Conservatism. Customer—" None o’ yer gaudy colors for me. Give me plain red an* yalier.”—Puck. Destiny. Fair or foul the lot apportioned life on earth we bear alike.—Browning.
