joy of earth 1 ended And evermore for me Its sun has set When past and future in eternitys to day are blended Will you forget When present loneliness and pain are over And death has stilled all longing and regret Those happy dayspent with your hero lover Will you forget i My memory oh will you fondly treas ure Will grief for me a while your lashes wet And that my love poured out to you its fullest measure Will you forget When changes other f riendsnew scenes surround you Whether with pleasure ease or toil you fret Those holy ties that once so strongly sweetly bound you Will you forget

forever When years are merged in time thats counted not That love with which God linked our souls shall weaken never THE LOVE OF A CHILD Knowledge of the child is as closely connected with measures of education and Instruction as is effect with Its cause says Prof A Rothmund of Mu nich university Whoever attempts to guide and to educate a child should first have knowledge of its body and soul Such knowledge of the child of its sep arate intellectual and bodily functions is at present limited Why Because we usually look upon the child through sort of intellectual spectacles we are eubject to prejudices and dispositions In which the child appears to us larger or smaller better or worse compared with the actual standard and Is treat ed accordingly The child is compelled to guide itself after the adults and the momenta In which we adults guide our selves unprejudiced after the child are rare The only persons whq sometimes flo this are perhaps the mother and the teacher And yet the smallest child participates In an active and peculiar manner In all the doings of Its sur roundings and forms its own judgment WTiat is this judgment Of course not veryone is given to a continuous observation which undei certain circumstances should occupy many hours The devoted mother ap pears to be the only person that has all the qualities for such observation Some American women have materially ad vanced the knowledge of the child by roch studies Mrs Moor observed her own child during a period of two years tvith the utmost care and for her sci entific work she earned the doctorate flegree A M3ss Shian observed her niece trom the day of its birth during the Srst 500 days of its life Statisticians employ mass observa tions for separate traits from which an tverage a maximum or minimum is es tablished For Instance how frequently t certain idea is met with In children f the same age what is the most diffi cult or easiest object of Instruction ac cording to the pupils own views how the disposition to save Is developed In ehildren etc In procuring material for such re searches persons of many stations In life may be utilized provided they have the requisite interest in the cause but teachers are of course first of all called upon to work in this direction For this reason the state teachers sem inaries or normal schools in America caake it incumbent upon the student to gather and formulate all remembrances pt his or her childhood These studies ore supplemeatod by lessons from the most important works on children then follow systematic observations of chil dren in a specific direction and finally the comparison of the students own pbseryatioes with those of experts of loknowledg ed standing Experiments and the vae of means furnished by exact natural science are the achievements of modern psychol ogy and they also are of inestimable value In the psychology of the child The latter may just as well be used as im object for test as an adult person so much the more as ethical objections do not exist in the majority of tests Pu pils of any age may be instructed In the nature of the tests to be made and of their own participation in these tests without overburdening or confusing the childs mind In a larger sense the entire school instruction every ques tion every class work as well as every bit of domestic work of the child Is an experiment in a psychological direction Put these experiments should be scien tifically directed and the results of the Observations should be better collected and mora widely disseminated than Is now the case Contrary to the practice which pre vails in many other countries the def erence shown to women In Austria in creases with age and the land Is well considered an old ladies paradise No Austrian would ever dream of receiv ing a ladys extended Hand without bowing to kiss It Children even when grown always touch the hands of their parents with their lips before venturing to raise their faces for a kiss Girls and young married women no mattei how lofty their dignity do not considei It beneath their dignity to kiss the hand of ladies who have attained a certain age The men are also extremely cour teous not only to ladies but to each other INDIANS BATTLE WITH IVIL SPIRITS J An Indian rite more spectacular than the famous snake dance of the Mokia but which is known to but few white people in America Is that of the Jicar tlla Apaches of New Mexico It Is the Battle with Evil Spirits which these Indians repeat every three or five years It occurs only when a new moon appears between the 20th and 25th of September That these In dians are able to make such a nice cal culation in astronomy and dates speaks well for their mathematical ability September of this year the new moon appeared on the 23d day of the month The Indians had prepared for their great dance or battle against the pow ers of evil Mr C B Ward of Denver Colo was a witness of the extraordi nary scene The celebration he says which extended over a period of ten days or rather nights began at sundown of the first day of the new moon and contin ued until sunrise the next morning It was repeated In this order throughout the period i As the sun sinks behind the western horizon the grand march of the cele brants begins The men file in at the west gate and the women at the east each turning to the right and after marching half way around the arena halt facing one another in a semi-circle then retire under the roofed por tion of the enclosure around the sides In the center of the arena is a small pile of brush upon which a goodly supply of grease and oil has been pour ed and at this juncture in strides the medicine woman in all the pride and glory of her barbarous attire The Ji carilla Apaches have no medicine man as Is customary with other tribes Then Btepping forward she applies an ignited brand to the pile and as the fumes of lacred incense are wafted upward to the nostrils of the Great Spirit the men and women give vent to their feelings by chanting to the solemn and doleful strains of tom toms After the medicine woman retires 12 men step to the center where a larger and fiercer fire has been kindled and while the beat the tom toms the oth ers in successive turns step forward and forming a semi circle about 10 feet fro mthe fire go through their fan tastic contortions A weird spectacle they form these simple children of the desert clothed in their gorgeous blankets and other barbarous array their straight black hair unbraided and j anded with being a splendid animal un ier the saddle TACKLES THE BRONCHO It was about last April that business ailed me to Ishpeming this feminine horse breaker went on to say and as I was to be there several months I im mediately looked around for a horse to ride At the livery stable I was told that there was not a thing in town but 3riving horses and I announced that then I would have to break one I was aughed at and told that I could never lo it I saw Bobby the broncho standing in a stall and told them if they would put a side saddle on him t would begin with him Miss Challender showed the metal of vhich she was made when told that the livery stable did not own such a thing Tn fact no saddle at all Although this young woman does not believe In the fair sex riding astride yet that day she was so determined to enjoy a cen ter along country roads that she would have risked her own disapproval and nied her skill upon a masculine saddle I went out and borrowed one from an utter stranger Miss Challender gald and that broncho was brought ut In the barn yard He bucked and bucked when the girth was being tight jned but I knew I was safe If he did aot lay down I wore a long skirt and beforevI attemptedto mount tilm I tried 5 ffM flowing in all directions while theii black beady eyes emit sharp flashes ol fanatical enthusiasm After a while 12 evil spirits entei through the east gate and with grimac ing faces and diabolical grins advance while the dancers panic stricken and fearful cease their dancing and rush to cover It Is futile however for the evil ones follow and submit their vic tims to all sorts of punishments until the braves in their fury and indigna tion rise up in their might and grasp ing their mighty war clubs drive their tormentors out of the west gate About 100 women and men are then selected to continue the performance until day break vhile the rest retire The grand finale occurs on Jhe night of the 10th and the morning ol the 11th day This night nobody sleeps but all arrange themselves around the large fire dancing and shouting all night to the ceaseless beating of the tim toms In the morning just at dawn they rush out and place themselves in line alon gthe banks -of a little stream that empties into the lake the women on the east and the men on the west bank Then the medicine woman again makes her appearance this time with a large basket upon her arm the inside of which is separated Into compart ments each compartment containing some unction of healing salve If one complains of a headache she dives down into one compartment and bringing forth the necessary remedy rubs some of it on the throbbing brow Another complains of rheumatism or possibly is suffering with a toothache in fact every affliction known to Indian kind has itrs remedy in that mysterious basket and the obliging medicine wo man applies it with solemn dignity and fittng ceremony This action is supposed to drive the evil spirits in terror across the horizon no more to return until the celebration of the next medicine dance and leave the Indian immune from every ill It is a sight worth going a thousand miles to witness Prof R H Chittenden director of the Sheffield Scientific school at Yale has been made professor of physiology in the Yale Medical school A monument to the late Dr Olaf Ols son president of Augustant college Mo line 111 will be erected at the college by the Augustant synod of the Swedish WOMAN WHO TAMES WILD HORSES - -- By Catherine Leckie in the Chicago American Horse breaking is one Df the accomplishments of Rena Chal lender and while this handsome young woman can sell a case of goods run a type setting machine or drive a horse which trots In 220 there accomplish ments are considered by her to be sim ply commonplace But her gift for controlling bronchos and subduing vicious horses she ad mits is perhaps unique Since last spring this young1 woman has broken five horses in the saddle Yet she talks Df it as most young women do of rib bons and chiffon In fact as though leading a horse out and getting him ased to a side saddle and a long skirt was an every day affair with her BREAKS A NAG TO RIDE I had to break a horse last spring m Ishpeming said Miss Challender when talking of her unusual achieve ment or else I would not have had anything to ride and that I never could stand I a mnever happy unless I am near a horse and in that Northern Michigan town they did not have any broken for women to ride Indeed at the time of my visit there none of the horses weTe broken for the saddle The result of my four months stay in that town was that I had five horses that could be ridden The first one I tried was a broncho contlaued Miss Challender and then she added with a laugh and an Uglier little beast it was never my pleasure to meet A livery man by the name of Hodgson owned him and he assured me that I never would be able to manage much less ride him with a skirt dan gling at one side But I did and he to make friends with the little brute 1 scratched his nose and fed him sugar and though when I was mounted upon his back he bucked and ran and threw himself about he did not get me off that time nor the times that followed I rode him two hours a day for a cou ple of weeks and a better little crea ture under the saddle never lived STIRS UP ISHPEMING BELLES So well did Miss Challender do with Bobby that she tried her luck and skill upon other horses owned by the same horseman By that time every girl In Ishpeming wanted to ride and before this gentle horse breaker left this Mich igan town she had taught eleven of the belles to ride and ride well too I have ridden since I was seven said Miss Challender and the way I learned to ride was bareback My moth er rode that way when she was a girl and I first learned through riding at her side If I didnt keep my seat she used to touch me with her whip I love horses that is the secret of it was the explanation she gave for her success in her unusual accomplish ment I can make a horse do what I want through kindness I never stnick a horse or any animal in fact in blow in my life And my own horse at my home in Grand Rapids I love like a friend He can do mile in 220 and I think I love to drive him so much do we understand each other almost as much as I do to ride But horses are not the only thing this young woman is interested in She is a newcomer to Chicago and hopes to make her introduction publicly upon a horse at the coming show But Miss Challender is at present a business wo man and has been for several years In spite of this she is very young not over twenty three and handsome into the bargain Won Back His Wife After ten years separation and eight years search John Sokrepsky a mod ern Enoch Arden has found his wife married to another man But unlike Enoch he has not gone away Instead he reclaimed and rewon his wife Ten years ago Sokrepsky left his wife in Russia and came to this country He made a home for her at Camden N J and sent for her

years passed without either finding trace of the other and finally Mrs Sokrepsky convinced that her husband was dead married Stanley Stanbar near Wilkes Barre Pa They have lived together three years and one child A week ago Sokrepsky who had nev er abandoned the search four trace of his wife and discovered her The meeting was most affecting The situa j Wii3SAJMr tion was talked over and Mrs finally decided to go with her first husband Her second husband after much persuasion allowed her tc take the child also - THOUGHTS MOLD FEATURE The moldin of our features by wj thoughts is a never ceasing proces whether we are conscious of It or not whether consciously controlled or not If we persistently continue In on 11m of thought for a given time the esp cial features upon which this though has acted have become accentuated ao cordingly It is the thought behini Bvery act behind every breath whld vitalizes and finally shapes the line ments of our faces and any attend to frustrate thought In its effort to ex press itself through our countenances results in a confusion of expression ant tn uncertainty which Is superior ti and detracts from otherwise well form d features Nor may we Impose upon each othet by mere muscular imitation of a fee ing or a sympathy that Is not genuine for our thoughts endeavoring to con ceal themselves from our associates foi some reason born of the moment oi surroundings mean one thing and try to make the features express another perhaps a more polite thing In thU way the intangible thought true at ita birth but afraid to show Itself naked tc the beholder for fear of loss of emolu ment of praise it may be or friendship jr favor attempts to dissemble and at Mice loses Its force and mars the truth r true action of eyes lips or brows So it follows that the first rule to ba observed by the seeker after physical perfection Is that brief one Be true as a tree is known by its fruit so Is a mind known by its expression upon tha race A pure trend of thought seen through the free acting muscles of tho physiognomy can and must reflect a pure beauty It is simply a matter of cause and effect The most beautiful face is the perfect ly happy one for happiness brings a shining to the eyes a new curving ta the lips a rounding of and an uplift ing to the cheek In all the happier uid loftier emotions the muscles leap upward It seems a sacrilege to analyza l smile and make it a mere matter o muscular energy but perhaps if It I looked at in another way seeing In all the muscles of the face the ready hand maids of the soul or thought we may Hi once recognize the importance of th relations existing between the servant muscles and the master mind If we made cheerful thoughts ou constant companions the mask of each Individual would grow to its fullest per fection as surely as the rose petals un fold their ruddy beauty to the loving sun This may not be apparent tng youth or early womanhood for tha features are then only forming and ex cept in cases of abnormally developed tendencies are not cast into an unalter able form But after one has reached middle life has lost much of the freshness of youth and must depend mainly upon expression for her beauty ind attractiveness then it is the lines f the face that tell the stofy of her ife They are beautiful if her thoughts lave been exalted unattractive if they lave been unworthy All along the outposts of time has 2iis truth been cried out by the vari us sentries Marcus Aurelius empha jized it men of brawn and brain have ichoed -it famous beauties have profit id by it But the search for the besfc n ourselves for the perfecting of our aodies must not be made langulsh ngly It must be carried on with wide ipen eyes and minds by doing noble leeds not dreaming all day long Ozf need not look upon the doing of kind things as a sacrifice or foolish self repression for that is seeing it in a false light In reality it is true self protectfon and we ourselves are th truest
