The defect of American education is diffuseness. The children are bothered and confused by being drugged across the surfaces of too many studies in a day. All of our schools, both public and private, and all our universities and colleges suffer from this same na- tional vice, which is a vice In the American character, a weakness in our temperament. It ought to he met and corrected in every field of life. What we need is depth. Depth can be imparted through the teaching of anything. It eau be imparted through Latin grammar, through handwriting, through carpenter work. through arith- metic or history. The one element re- quired is time. Depth cannot be Im- parted quickly or in ninny subjects at once. Leisure is necessary—a slow- ing down, a taking of things, not easily, but slowly, determinedly, pa- tiently, as if there were plenty of time and nothing else vaunted. This is the road to rapid and bril- liant work, and there is no other. The smallest children should bo set on this road and guided and governed and helped and slaved over by the hest of your masters. One subject understood means the world mastered. My friend Frederick 'lather of Yale puts the thing as follows: "11' one of our small colleges should, after the manner of the English col- leges. devote itself to a few old fash- ioned subjects, such as Latin and Greek, and some kind of history and philosophy, nod should really teach these things, its graduates would soon be so famous mid so eminent that banks and railroads would be clamor- ing for them at the college doors." The epigram summarizes the present needs in American ednc•ation.—John J. Chapmnn in Atlantic Mouthly. GARRICK'S MOBILE FACE. Its Varying Expressions Put Gains- borough In a Fit of Temper. At an entertainment at which Gains- borough and the famous nctor David Garrick were present an ardent ad- mirer of the great artist declared, ac- cording to "Bibliotltek der Unterbal- Lung and des %Vissens," that Gains- borough had never failed to take a per- son's likeness In a portrait. no matter how difficult the subject might be. Garrick thereupon asserted that Gains. borough could not paint his likeness and begged to be allowed to sit l'or his portrait. Gainsborough, pleased at the commission and expecting to find it very interesting to paint the actor's expressive countenance, gladly eon - seated. Garrick then made a secret wager with the artist's friends that he could prove to theta that there was one face at least that Gainshnrough could not paint. The results of the first sitting were very satisfactory to the complacent. artist. ,1t the second sitting, however, Gainsborough was trade uncomfortable and nervous at finding it necessary to make soverol alterations in his work. At the third sitting his displeasure be- came extreme when, on comparing the half completed work with Garrick's face, he saw that the two bore so little resemblance to each other that the portrait bad almost to be repainted. When Garrick appeared for the fourth time, with the most innocent expres- sion imaginable, and begged the paint- er to begin work Gainsborough, thor- oughly angry, broke out: "I've uo use for you! You can ape thoilsands of faces and never have one of your own!" Smiling, Garrick left the studio to announce to the artist's friends that he had won the wager. Hunting the Elusive Spark. To find a dead spark plug I take an ordinary hammer and hold the wooden handle in my hand, says James Atelier - son in the Farm and home. Laying the Rice on the cylinder head. I bring the claws slowly toward the head of the plug. if the plug is alive the spark will leap across when the right gap Is reached. If no spark is made the plug is dead. This method does away with the danger of receiving a shook, as you are holding the wooden handle. Imprisoned by Her Tongue. In translating tho Bible for the Zu- lus and for some other aboriginal peo- ples it is necessary to have two ver- sions, one for the women and one for the men. The Zulu law compels a married woman to cat herself off from her father-in-law and all her bus - band's male relations. She is not fa - /owed to pronounce their names even menta]iy. As a result, theile ism dis- tinct dialect among Zulu women. Earthquake Regions.

LS In these days of skilled dentistry there are a few people who are foolish enough to continue suffering pain from decaying teeth. We have learrd that we can save money. time and health if we have the cavities filled. When a tooth has so far broken down that the inner pulp is exposed, there is no quest- ion about having it attended to, for the pain is so intense that the bravest can- not long endure it; and if the tooth is too far gone to be filled, it roust come out. But we may be greatly in need of dental treatment and yet not be con- scious that there is anything wrong with our teeth. Sometimes severe ear- ache or neuralgia and congestion of the eyes aretheresaft`•pof fro;ible that is going on at the root of a tooth, the nerves from which branch up towards the ear or the eye For the same rea• son it is possible to lay the blame on a tooth that may be perfectly healthy, but it is suffering because it has the same nerve supply as its neighbor which is really causing all the trouble. Whenever there is pain in an appar- ently healthy ear, or neuralgia and swelling round the eyes that connot otherwise be accountedlfor or that does not yield to treatment, it is wise to ask the dentist to find out whether a tooth is creating the disturbance. An alveolar abscess is an abscess that forms in the jaw in consequence of a diseased tooth. When it forms only in the gum it is called a gumboil, and there it generally comes to a head, breaks and heals, after the manner of boils. But if it occurs farther down at the -root of the tooth, it can cause serious trouble. Unable to discharge outwardly it may burrow down into the bone and find an opening through the cheek, or it may work its way upward to the ear or even to the brain. When the pain in the jaw is clearly owing to an' abscess that is forming, you can hurry it along by hot applications and poultices inside the mouth; but do not apply them out- side, for that may cause the abscess to break through the cheek, which would leave an ugly scar. As soon as the abscess is ripe it should be opened by a physician. But whatever the temporary treatment of the abcess may be, this is certainly true: a tooth that is afflicted with a succession of abscesses ought to come out. Teeth with septic roots cause much more trouble than we realize. Neuralgias and headaches that no drugs will cure, and stomach troubles that defy all medicines, will often yield as by magic to a little treatment by a good dentist.—Youth's Companion. Beware of Catarrh Oint- ments' that Gontain Mercury as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely,_ derange the •'t'vhole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles Should never be used except on .pre- seriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by lis J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0., contains no mercury, =tie taken internally, sating directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney ez Co. Testi- monials free.

Curious Contradictions That Spring From Our Present Methods, paradox u d a s Thep x u f tune. u reckoned we Pave come into the habit of reckoning It, by which 11 cablegram that leaves England at noon is received instantly in India at 5:30 p. m. and !tt New York at 7 u, m., has long since been dis- :urded by astronomers and mariners. 1"o these the time is always Green- wich time, and it Le on Greeuwleh time that the wireless signals of nil the world are based since the interna- tional time conference which met in Paris in 1012 declared that "the uni- versal time shall be that of Greenwich." The Scientific American analyzes the paradox and prophesies that the day will come when all the world will have but one standard time. We should then abandon our time zones, with their strangely irregular boundaries based upon the exigencies of railroad systems and political frontiers and the "curious fiction of the international date line could be given up." "It would at first seem strange to the New Yorker to begin work at 4 a. m. instead of 0 a. m. and dine at 2 p. m. Instead of 7 p. m.," says the Scientific American, "but as these changes would be merely nominal and involve no dis- location of 'his habits with respect to daylight and darkness he would soon become accustomed to them." As things are now we are so familiar with such contradictions as receiving a telegram four or five hours earlier than it was sent and finding it 7 o'clock on one side of a street when it is 8 o'clock on the other that they do not strike us as strange. Yet now is always and everywhere now, no matter what we may call it. When it is now in New York it is now in Calcutta and in Lon- don. "Call it what you like, the time remalus •identical." We have inherited our ideas of time from ancestors whose only clock was the sun and who divided the day into twelve hours between sunrise and sun-. set. In summer these were very long hours and in winter very short. How perplexed a Greek or Roman horologist would have been near ono of the poles where his "hours" would have been as long as many modern days! With ciooks numbered from 1 to 24 we could abolish "a. m" and "p. m.," as several countries have already done. "Noon" at any place would be when the sun was at the meridian, and it would not mat- ter in the least what clock time coin- cided with it. Today in the United States tbe only places at which noon and 12 o'clock exactly coincide are those precisely on the meridian. For example, when it is "noon" in Florida it is 1 p. rn. ,jest across the border in Georgia and :ren it is "noon" in Geor- g a it is only 11 a. in. in Florida. Simi- lar conditions exist in many places. Garlic In the Milk. As to milk diluted by the light diet of the cow, what is this compared with the garlic to which any one at break- fast in Italy in spring is subject with- out warning? The mere tourist is no doubt guarded by a taster in the hotel keeper's service, but the resident may any morning find his milk or his butter or both made impossible by a flavor more rank than any onion. The Italian cow evidently loves the garlic plant and inconsiderately feasts upon it, with consequences overpowering to the senses of man.—London Mirror. Von Dor Goltz a Novelist. A good deal of the late Field Mar- shal von der Goltz's reputation rested upon his military text books, and it is interesting Zo recall that he first won literary fame by writings of a very different character. When a poor ca- det at Grosslichterfelde with a widow- ed mother to support he turned his hand to novel writing and gained a considerable reputation by a series of sentimental romances.—London Chron- icle.

(Montreal Herald, Nov. 7.) Montreal on three consecutive days has heard inspiring addresses by Mr. Rowell—at the Reform Club, at St. James' Church and at the Canadian Club. Leader of a political party though he may be, he is much more than that—he is a great Canadian. Even at the Reform Club, he refused to take advantage of the opportunity to talk politics, and not a phrase that he uttered could bel turned into political capital. Mr. Rowell is more than a politician; he is a Canadian statesman. His vision extends beyond the end of the war and beyond the next provincial or federal election. He sees that the intermediate duty of every Canadian worthy of the name is to help win this war for the sake of Canadians yet un- born. His message is that the war is not by any means over—and this is no mere pessimistic message, for he never doubts for a moment the ultimate victory—and that in this war we cannot stand on a limited liability basis. "Men, more men, and then, more men!" is the ringing message he brings us from the trenches, and with it many a tale of the heroism of our own Canadian boys of English, Scotch, Irish and of French descent. Are we going to let the flag fall from their grasp? There is only one answer. Mr. Rowell's visit to Montreal, tending as it does to bind still more closely together the people. of Ontario and Quebec, will be a factor in the emphasis with which that answer is given. A man of high ideals, he is able, to an unusual extent, to infuse much of his own noble courage and enthusiasm into the hearts and minds of his bearers. He is devoting his fine abilities to the high cause of civilization andljustice and human liberty. A whale of average size has a jaw bone 25 feet in length. Got Rid of Itronchttes Mr. W. H. Walker.
