But even the mend-1. is human, and when tor- tibly in urnest, his style may be- come . trifle lurid. Thus at the meeting od the Brit-l u Aaaociation Prineipal Ggiaith, n noted educator, roundly condemn- ed modern education. “We teach what we shouldn't and lenvo un- taught what we should tench," was the general count. Special counts lollowed. We do not teach sex hy- bene; we do not emphasize charac- ter building; we fail to put common eense into education; we send too many men and women to college and not nearly enough of them into Vocational wheels. All this in true. Yet any student' " history, political and education- al, known that our defective eyawm represent/e wonderiul progress when compared with the education.. al conditions ot, any, twentr-five yen" ago. In Britain a veritable revolution has resulted from the extension and improvement of ele- mentary education. But new con- ditions and new requirements have acutely presented certain educa- tional problems, and it is for prnc- tieal educators who know life out- eide of the schoolroom to work out eolutions of these problems. There is, happily, much constructive ac- tivity along this line, and results cannot be long in coming. Science, what otupidities no ut- tered in my name by cocksure dog- mtists! A man calls himself a psychologist and in the name of his Icicnce nib wild nonsense on t variety of questions that require gonna] knowledge, vital experience and brain power. And here is Sir Almroth E. Wright, tut eminent British physician, who poses as an authority on the many sciences In- voived in the question of woman's place and function in modern so- eiety. He has published a book which he calls "The Unexrurgated Cue Against Woman BMratte," but which is better denim u "The Complete Anti-Feminist." Sir Almroth makes no weak com cesxiuns oi any kind. He deelareei that "man is the master" ; that the feminine mind is inferior to the man-Mine; that society rests on physical force; that woman ought to be grateful for all her blessings, l since she never could get them by‘ fighting; that women are constitu- tionally narrow and "rersonal"; nubordinnting justice, law nod all abstract ideas to their likes and dis- likes; that only unmarried and un- happy women want the vote; that the remedy for feminine unrest in heavy emigration to the colonies.

She was iutst" opening, and each day she unfolded a leaf, saying to hersislf, “I mean to be so beautiful that all the world will admire me." So in the day she fed on all the warmest and brightest and warmeat sunbeams to give her color, and at night she drank all the coolest and clearest drops of dew to give her perfume, and when the soft night breezes l stole around her she spread out the L green leaves of her stem and quiver- ed with pleasure. One morning, when the sun was rising, she raised her head, bathed in dew, and as the first rays fell upon her she opened out, red and gIOwing, and stood there, a full- blown beauty. When noon came, and the sun was hot, the rose heard a gentle humming, and looking down she saw a, bee flitring about from flower to flower close to her. All at once the bee flew up and settled softly on her leaves. "What do you want from me tr' said the rose. "VI have' come to ask you tor a little of your sweetness,” said the “But I need all my sweetness and all my color," said the rose. "What should I do without them? The sun irnd the soft. south wind woo me, the Irytttr))i.ed,yioo me. all .the othV Edkiirs ire envious of my beauty. I cannot spare any of my sweetness." ---o. "I pray you, my fair rose, let me take a little. I need it now even more than you," pleaded the bee. So the rose let her take some, though very unwillingly. At length a day came when the rose felt her beauty failing. The morning was cloudy, and soon a heavy shower came on, which wash- ed the color from her leaves and scattered many on the ground. Just as the shower had ceased she heard a. well-known humming, and saw her fly down and settle upon her. "Alasl" sighed the rose, "my beauty is gone and I am deserted by all," and she wept tears of rain. “Dear rose," said the bee, "do not weep; from the sweetness I gathered from you I have made sweet honey, and you have left therein a legacy which will delight men long after your beauty has faded forever." The rose shivered as the wind carried away her last leaf, leaving her golden heart bare to the light, but she remembered the words of the bee and was comforted.

No person of cleanliness! or refinement takes snuff or chewsl tobacco nowadays; it is the pumice“ of smoking only that needs to be considered. Tobacco contains a vir- ulent poison, niootin, to the action of which its bad etteua are usually attributed; but it ll probable that certain products of oombustioo-- pyridin, carbon monoxid, and a volatile oil-are also hurtful. That tobacco does affect the hu- lman organism injuriously u cer- tain; the only question is how much tobacco it takes to produce those effects. Bunmssoov First of all, there is the element of idioisyncraay, which enters into the action of any drug, poisonous or otherwise. A few men smoke for a long lifetime without suffering any apparent harm; but others pay the penalty of a very moderate in- dulgence by continual indigestion, hardening of the arteries, or a ner- vous breakdown early in life. in saying this 1fi.o not mean vous breakdown early in life. l The same fate awaits any man who smokes tu excess. No one can 1 safely smoke more than four cigm ars, or six pipes, or eight or teol cigarettes even without inhaling; most men had better not me more than this allowance. The symptoms of over-indulgence in tobaceo are nervousness, poor sleep, indiges- tion, sometimes failing eyesight, and frequently an irritable heart, with a. rapid pulse, frequent palpit- ation, irretrulartretrt and oocnionll paroxysms a ruin. _ . n-,.,_L_____ .u HEALTH l”“"'.'"---~ ,, .
