reseated the people In much the eama
way that the House of Commons does
In England, and the House of Repre
sentatives In this country. For a long
time tha Patricians or artstoi-rata of
Rome had everything their own w-iy.
But when tha Plebeians (or, as we
would say, the "plain people") gt
their Tribune the reckless tyrannt of
the Patricians ceased. The Tribune
had great power, lie couid veto al
most any act. and nullify almost any
law passed by the Senate: Liberty

time they first eecured their Tribune.

Mrs. Ella Kif.g Young, superin
tendent of the schools of Chicago,
says that Bbe does not believe In
much home work by the pupils, a
statement that will delight parents
aa well aa children- She believes,
however, that school work ahould be
so Interesting snd concern Itself so
much with the dally life of the child
that It will want to talk It over at
home. The fact that children do not
consider the work interesting enough
to talk about It out of school Is, sba
ays, a criticism of the schools.

Tha Hermans.
Tha Normaaa ware Northman, or
to ba mora preclae. tha .deacaadaata
of Northmen, who had been ex palled
from their native Norway Is conse
quence of an effort oo their part to
subvert Its Institutions, and to make
Its lands hereditary Instead of batnc
dl visible among all tha boos of tha
former owner. A band of expatriated
outlawa and rob ber a. they won an4
held tha fair provisos of Northera
Franc, which the asms Normandy,
after their native land. When they
Invaded England they were Krench
n en only In the sense that they had
liied for some generations on Preach
soil. In blood they belonged to th
treat Oermanlc breed, along with tha
Anzlo-Saxona, Danes, and other 8ca
dlnavlan and German people.
Th Gesture Language.
Gesture, or sign, language waa, ha.
)'i-id doubt, the earliest form nf tha
i t mmunlcatlon of Ideas. Long before
t- - re were such things as words men
' .ied to each other by means of well
Mruterstood signs. There are still
t -nea of men In Australia and tba
Isibnds of the Southern Seas, aa wall
as In durkest Africa, who, when they
ish to exchange Ideaa at night, ara
y'j'.lged to build a Ore so aa to sea by
lis light the gestures that are their
c.ly means of mental Intercommunl
tatton. To this day the sign language
Is 'ound useful even among highly ad
r.inred peoplea. When you cannot
cake a man underatand your words
you can oftentimes gut along with him
fairly well by "making motions."
