With reverence he drew her head to his shoulder and kissed the tear stained eyes What lo Teach Hie A philosopher has said that true ed ucation of boys is to "teach them w hat they ought to know when tlie.v become men." First. To be true and to be genuine. No education Is worth anything that does not Include this. A man had bet ter not know how to read and be true and genuine ill action rather than to be learned in all sciences and iu all lan guages and be at the same time false In heart anil counterfeit 111 life Above all things, teach the boys that truth is more than riches, power or possessions. Second To lie pure in thought, lan guage and life pure in mind and body. Third To be unselfish, to care for the feelings and comforts of others, to be generous, noble and manly, lliis will include a genuine reverence for the aged and for things sacred. Fourth To be self reliant and self helpful even from childhood, to be in dustrious always and self supporting nt the earliest possible age. leach them that all honest work is honor able; that an Idle life of dependence on others Is disgraceful. When a bov has learned these things, when he has made these Ideas part of him. however poor or however rich, lie has learned the most important things he ought to know. What'i In a Nothing Is so unalterable as the char acter that accompanies a Christian name. Deductions from Christian names are absolutely safe. Names ending In zw always denote selfishness. Names ending in tku are to IK* avoided; their owners are treach erous. Beware of names beginning In l'p. No woman over seven feet high was ever called Birdie. Women named (Jeorge write novels. A babv named J a lies Klijah Ahasuerus If always called by Its full name will not grow up. A cat if called Beethoven Is sure to Indulge In moonlight sonatas. Literary men who study these things will bear out what I say. Ask them If they ever knew an Andrew who was not iKxikish, an Anthony who was not witty, a Marie who was vain? Produce a Rudyard and you will see oiniils clence. Conan Is Interesting in crime. Algernon composes ballads before breakfast. Theodore Is critical. Nicknames are equally consistent in their connotations. A boy called "Trot ters" has large feet. No boy with a snub nose was ever called "Ilookey." Have you ever seen a brunette as "iiln. ger?" Boys and girls who are called "Carrots" have red hair always.— Punch. A Kriuarkkhlr CiLlmn I aatoin. To the student in ethnology the Eski mos afford unusual interest, especially those of the coast of Greenland. Com paratively speaking, modern settlers In that frigid region, they have many of the characteristics of the people of the Btone age. yet their build and facial outlines indicate Mongolian origin. They have many customs of peculiar Interest, not the least among which is a remarkable reluctance to pronounce their own name before a stranger. If a white man meets a family and asks the head thereof his name his wife will promptly answer for him, or vice versa. If a child be asked its name both par ents. if they are present, will reply, while the little one will stand dumb. If but one Eskimo is about and the same question be put to him he will look about In a distressed way. as though seeking some one to give the desired Information, and endeavor to evade the query until a member of the tribe comes up to answer It for him. if pressed and 110 other course Is left him he will tell his name, but with marked reluctance. On all other sub jects except their spiritual beliefs they will converse with volubility and do their best to impart information. MrkiißmN For Tcachfrii. "Ability to take a man's measure or, an they say it themselves, 'to size him up,' Is the possession of nearly every boy of school age," said an ex peda gogue the other day. "in the school where 1 taught the boys quickly hit upon 'Top' as the cor rect name for their principal because they soon learned that he resorted to nothing more than a fatherly side talk us a punishment for school lawbreak era. The first assistant, however, im pressed theui In quite a different man tier, for he was known Iu their private councils as "Fiery Spike." the first part of the name reflecting the possession of much temper, the last part a long, lean body. 'ltusty Harry' was a mime which brought to the youngsters vi sions of a young man teacher whose hair was the color of oxidized iroii and who wa . a terror to boys with a tar nlshed memory Each teacher had an extra label, and each one of the labels fitted remarkably well."
