The reason is, no doubt, that the great medical scientists have wisely chosen to deâ€" vote their time and talents to batâ€" tling with the deadlier diseases, and have left the investigation of the lesser maladies to that day in the future when pneumonia, spinal |\ meningitis, ard angina pectoris‘ ‘aud eancer shall have been conâ€" | quered.

A Youth‘s Narrow Escape From Death on tht Kootenai River. In the Northwest a good many streams flow sluggishly through wide swamps. Theso swamps lie between parallel ranges of hills, and are formed by the gradual deâ€" posit of soil by the river current. They must have been ages in buildâ€" ing. Very likely a beaver dam that flooded the valley was the original caus> of most of them. The semiâ€" ‘iiquid mud is covered with a rank growth of rushes, tules, and waterâ€" lilies, with here and there tall grass not unlike smal} cane. If you are very cautious, you can cross these treacherous places, but vyou must be careful not to step into a ‘well" dug by one of the muskrats that swarm over the marsh.

At nine o‘clock I lighted a lantern and set out to look for him. My companions each took a light and joined me. We reached the border of the marsh and fired a gun several times.

Beauty is its own payment. ‘‘Virâ€" tue is its own reward.‘" We have heard that ever since we were school children, but few of us ever have reached a full understanding of what the great philosopher meant. I think that the parents of Noah had something of this subâ€" lime idea when they named their child. As is explained in the Scripâ€" tures, they named him Noah beâ€" cause he was to bring theom ‘"comâ€" fort in their work" ; he was to make their work enjoyable. Joseph had the same idea when he named his son Manasseh, beâ€" cause he said, ‘"He has made me forget my toil.‘"‘ The apostle said, "Count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.‘"‘ To present this subject in as conâ€" densed a form as I can, I will say that at last Christianity, â€"working out into society and giving its slow but continual impulse to the modâ€" ern educational affairs of the world, has brought into being the kinderâ€" gartenâ€"that is, the Christian, the godlike idea concerning the educaâ€" tion of the world. Education, labor, and any sort of toil ought to be play. There should be no such thing as hard work in the world, as we understand the modern sense of that term. All Labor Should Be Play, and all play, in the opposite sense should be labor. Now, under the kindergarten sysâ€" tem, the fundamental idea is the Christian idea expressqd in this verse concerning Peter and John. They were rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer for his names sake. Even suffering was a joy. Labor and toil were pleasure and play. When the kindergarten system was adopted it was adopted with the idea that we ought to make this world happier and that people enâ€" gaging in toil ought to do it in a different spirit. Consequently childâ€" hood is taken through a series of plays all the way upward into greater and greater wisdom, and its work is made sport. & fROM FRIN‘S GREFN 1S!f NEWS BY MAIL FROM IRE LAND‘S SHORES.
