Jrban Life Robs Children of Sponta- '"neity, Says Mr. Chubb. "In our urban life we have reached he time when children have to be ichooled in play." said Percival Chubb n his lecture on "The Origin and Evolution of Play" before the Federa tion for Child Study at the Ethical Ci'It.re School. "Education has had 4 lay unhuiy hands on play,' and we a-e the anomaly of a curriculum In hiil'ug xouisos in play. City chll--Hxn are lusing the art of spontane ous piny because tbe city affords them 10 space for play." The spirit of play had gone out of idult life, too, Mr. Ctmbb said, be cause men and women had been "de iruded by toil. We are slaves to the ;oddi'S8 of opportunity. Fathers don't now how to pluy with their children, ior do they give themselves time. And he children don't have time either, or they have to study eveniugs." Mothers, he Bald, had forgotten the M play tradition,), and many couldn't .'.'en play cat's cradle with their --'-'03.

The British ftrrny coirficll has de cided to abolish the old cuetom ot "crying down credit" Under the king's regulations, commanding offi cers, on arriving at a new station, are required to make proclamation warn ing tradespeople and others that a loldlrr's pay oannot be stopped for a private debt, and that those who al low soldiers to contract' debts do so at their own risk. The custom In the old days often gave rise to a pio ttirocque ceremony, the commanding officer, accompanied by a dutachment of his regiment and the drums, read ing the proclamation in the market place. The last occasion on which the ceremony was performed was a year or two ago. The old proclama tion is now to be replaced by new paper advertisements. - . Sailor's Embroidered Map. A.

SANITARY PLUMBING IN ALL ITS BRANCHES MILFORD, PA. Ths New Diamond Fields. From the methods used to locate tbe stones tbe aew diamond fields lu German South Africa might very we I be called a Tom Tiddler's Ground, -ays the Wide World Magazine. The liamonds are very small, but ara ex- eedlngly plentiful. They are found In the open desert, where nothing but sand, unrelieved by the slightest Sign of brush or ihrub, is to be seen for vast distances. The men who search for the stones needless to say, they are all natives have ten miles to go every morning from camp. The searchers work on their hands and knees, apparently regardless of the blinding sunshine, sifting the su face sand through their fingers. Mojt of them are old Kimberley boys and they are very keen on- discovering stones. The district la hardly a para dise for the white man, being notori ous for lu frequent dust storat and terrific heat. . The Hottentots, The Hottentots are a dwarf raw Ii Namaland. in South Africa. . TlU'ir skin is yellow, brown or gray, not black. The hair fs long and wool'y; the cheek bones are pronlnent; ecs are dark chestnut or black, wlds apart: the nose is very broad and B;it, nostrils thick; the mouth is lan; with heavy, upturning lips, chin pout ed and receding Jaw. Their yi-lloT akin has been an enigma to anthropo logists, and ths discovery of similari ties in grammar, together with the existence of words representing ab stractions of a high order, strengthen ed the theory that the Bushmen Hot tentots had separated from the Cau casian kindred in tbe north in prehis toric times, settling the southern por tion of the continent, where they were pressed upon later by the Black Ban tu tribes. More probably they are aa Isolated race, like the Australians. A Satisfactory Toothache, A lad who had Just had a tooth ex tracted requested the privilege of tak ing It horn with him.
