The young mind is wonderfully re- ceptive, and in a very short time it can absorb what it is to do right, and what the consequences are of doing wrong. It is never too early to begin teaching children what will happen if they do what they are told not to. In other words, "obedience is the first law."

A giant meteorite which fell in the territory of Chaco, Argentina, 300 years ago, but which was "lost" short- ly before 1812, bas been rediscovered, according to explorers for the Argen- tine government. The mass is report- ed to weigh nearly sixty tons. Since 1912 several expeditions have tried to locate it. In 1873 a reward of $2,000 was offered for its recovery. About the middle of the seventeenth century the presence of the meteorite was first reported by Spaniards who had been guided to the spot by Vilelas In diens, The object lay half -burled in the sand. Analysis showed that it eon" sisted of meteoric iron and pure nickel and cobalt. Several pieces were sena to musums. Two pistols were made', from some of the metal and were pre- sented to a president of the Unitedi States in appreciation of bis sympathyi with Argentine independence. Minard's Liniment Heals Cuts..
