What Children Pear.
President O. Stanley Unit of Clark
Cnlverslty lins been collecting fncts
concerning the fears of children. Th
fears of children, he says, arc gener
ally created by parents nnd servants.
He found thnt 1,701 children had (I,
4)0 fears, the leading ones belug the
fenr of lightning nnd thunder, reptiles,
strangers, the dnrk, death, domestic
animals, dlscnse, wild nnlmnls, water,
ghosts, Insects, rnts and mice, robbers,
high winds, etc.
A few of these fears are rational. Is
New Jersey no children were found to
be afraid of high winds, but In the
West that fenr uatvirally leads all oth
era. At Trenton, however, slxty-twc
children were found who dreaded the
end of the world, a fear created entire
ly by adult teaching. H1s tabulation
shows what education con do In this
respect.
i No child wa found to be afraid ot
the devil. Two hundred years ago and
less thnt fear would have led all the
rest. Few were found who were
Afraid of ghosts, a fear that would
bave stood high on the list not long
ago. The fear of robbers nnd of wild
anlmnls Is a survival, though robbers
have not disappeared as completely at
the wild anlmnls.
Forty-six Now Jersey children wer
afraid of being burned alive, a mon
strous thing to Inculcate In the child
mind Fear will always be one of th
strongest Influences In human life, but
lit least It Is possible by teaching what
real danger consists of to eradlcatt
groundless fen rs. Chlengo Tribune.
Klondike Trademarks.
The Klondike craze has had Its effect
on the Patent Ofiice, as has been shown
by the application for trademarks
bearing the word. Two or three patents
bave been applied for for objects wblcb
might be better suited for the gold
fields there than elsewhere, but the
chief clerk refuses to tell of them.

Origin of "niuo Iilood."
The origin of tho term "blue blood"
Is most suggestive. After the black
Moors were driven out of Spain the
aristocracy of Ppaln was held to con
sist of those who traced their lineage
back to tho time before the Moorish
conquest. These people were whiter
thnn those who had been mixed with
Moorish blood. The veins upon their
white hnnds were blue, while tho blood
bf the masses, contaminated by tbo
Moorish Infusion, showed black upon
their hnnds and faces. So tho white
Spaniards of the old race came to de
claro that their blood was "blue,"
whllo that of the common people was
black. The phrase passed to France,
where It had no such slgnlllcanee, and
wns, In fact, quite arbitrary, and thence
It came to England and America.
Caring for the Teeth.
Do not eat, or do not feed your chil
dren on, white bread, which Is deficient
in. phosphates, and causes the teeth to
crumble. A little hard food requiring
thorough mastication should be taken
at every meal. The teeth should be
brushed both night and morning. Avoid
sweets. Drink at least two quarts of
water a day a glass tho first thing In
the morning, another the last thing be
fore going to bed, the remaining quan
tity between meals. Consult a good
dentist nbout every six months. La

has a branch running from what ht
known as Alexandria Junction, near
Washington, to Shepherd's on the Po
toinne Iliver, where a car ferry Is oper
nted In connection with the lines lend
ing south from the Capitol. A professor
of an eastern college desired to lease
this short stretch of track for the pur
pose of educating young men In prac
tical railroad work. In his letter tit)
explained thnt he thought there was a
wide field for bright and energetic boys
who could be thoroughly well grounded
In the practical side of railroading pro
vided they could be educated on a reg
ular line of rond. He believed that br
the employment of veteran railroad
men as teachers that the boys could
profitably spend 2 or 3 years working- ,
as trainmen, firemen, engineers,
switchmen, station agents, and in other
capacities required in the railroad Ser
vice. As this branch of the B. ft O. la
of considerable value the Receiver
were compelled to decline the offer.

Odd Pretexts for Duels.
It's easy to flud an excuse for a dud
If one Is looking for trouble. One hun
dred and twenty yenrs ago, says ar
writer In the Pittsburg Plspatcb, two
British officers serving In tbo army la
America found cause for a fight In a
discussion as to tbe projier method of
eating corn. One contended tbat U
should bo eaten from the cob; tbo oth
er thnt It should be rut off onto th
plate. One of tbe contestants lost big
Tight arm as tbo result, and It Is prob
able thnt tbe manner of eating corn did
not concern hi in much thereafter.
There have been many other duels,
founded on equally foolish pretexts.
One man lost his life lu a dinputo as to
what was trumps In a card game; an
other because he was refused admis
sion to a club of pigeon shooters. Genet"
al Barry was challenged because bs
declined some wine on account of Ill
ness, aud another British officer wag
called out because be asked his op
ponent to pass hi in a goblet at the din
ing table.
If some women wore to cast thelt
bread upon the water It would bo pret
