If the oaths bill la parsed "kissing the Book." the present Insanitary and undignified form of oath taking, will practically become thing of the put In Fnr'.ind. Evwjr rlin will be tv.o-n w.-.tj tig IjAud uplifted, unless he Toluntnrlly objects to being sworn In that fashion or Is physically Incapa ble of eo taking the oath. The witnesses who will avail themnelves of their option to "kiss the Book" will be even less numerous than thoes who have been accustomed to exercise tholr right to be sworn with uplifted hand. The right has not been exercised, our contemporary adds, because the majority of wit nesses, however, great their dislike Va the lnan!ary oath, have been unwill ing to mil e themselves conspicuous In a court c: Justice by making an un usual request. with the abolition or "kissing the Book" In England the Insanitary oath will practically disappear from the civilized world. The Hidden Corner. Let mystery have Its place In you; do rot be always turning up your whole soil with the plowshare of self examination, but leave a little fallow corner In your heart ready for any seed that the winds may bring, and reserve a nook of shadow for the pass ing bird; keep a place In your heart for the unexpected guest, an altar for the unknown God. Then If a bird slnps among your branches, do not be too eager to tame It. If you are con scious of something new thought or feeling wakening In the depths of your being, do not be In a hurry to let the light In upon It, to look at It; let the springtime germ have the pro tection of being forgotten, hedge It round with quiet, and do not break In upon Its darkness; let It take shape and grow, and not a word of your happiness to any one? Sacred work of nature as It Is, all concep tion should be enwrapped by the triple veil of modesty, silence and night. Amiel. Case of Chew. "Whnh's det ornery bull pup yo' owned, Mlstah Simpson?" asked the neighbor with the bucket and whitewash brush. "Huh!" grunted Mlstah Simpson. "Dat dawg got so vfveious Ah traded blm off foh a plug ob tobacco." "Cosh, dat was a queer trade, wasn't et, Mlstah Simpson?" "Not et all sah. Ah knew ef Ah kept det dawg he'd chew me, so Ah thought Ah'd trade blm off foh a plug ob tobacco en do sum chewiig mah self." As to the Kindergarten. A writer In a current magazine thinks that the kindergarten child lacks the power of concentration. The effort Is to make it learn things easily, and as an education cannot ba acquired that way, she thinks the kindergarten unnecessary for children whose home surroundings are what they should be. For other children she can see how the school would awaken dormant facult'es that their lack of proper environment would not otherwise develop. A Little Too Early.

In a part of Arkansas where the natives take life easy, a young man and his sister were one day sitting on the porch when a funeral ;fired. The boy, who was sitting whirl In? In a chair tilted comfortably back against the side of the house on its hind legs, remarked. "I reckon ol' nian Johnson's got about the bipzet funeral that's ever been held nro.ind hyeah." "A purty good Blzed one. Is It?" questioned the siBter. "You betcher." the boy answered. "I would like to see it." replied the girl. "What a pity I ain't tacin' that way." Excusable. School children in Greater Ne York were required some time elnce to bring to their teachers vaccination and birth certificates. Frequent for getfulnesB made one teacher impati ent, and word went out that the certi ficates must be there on a certain morning. On that day an anxious little girl raised her hand the moment sc ool opened, and, on being told to speak, said tremblingly; "Please, teacher, don't get mad at me.
