Similar testimony is afforded by an

himself shot, a circumstance that
qualifies him to give a doubly expert
opinion.

Surgery to Prevent Murder.
Dr. Echols Ardman, criminologist,
i has come to the conclusion that the
: 'orm of insanity that causes murder is
i small bone pressing against part of
i .he brain and that a small operation,
j removing the bone that is pressing
and inserting a thin silver plate, will
turn the murderer into a kind hearted
person.
j The trouble, Dr. Ardman confesses.
I that is hardest to overcome is to find
the man with criminal tendencies and
perform the operation before and not
after the crime. The murderer usually
Is harmless In appearance and seems
normal before committing a cilme,

Clergyman's Pun.
A clergyman who had worked for
many years in a certain wild section
of the country, was being queried
by a brother as to the church which
made moet appeal to the people in
that region. He answered that the
Baptists had been most successful in
making converts. The questioner made
some objection to the practice of total
submersion, which was the only bap-
tismal ceremony recognized In the
country. It seemed to him supereroga-
tory.
"Ah, yes," remarked the clergyman
"I grant you that such a ceremony
may appear to you to be unnecessary
according to the Scripture*, but anj
intimate life among these people ha?
convinced me that for most of then1
total submersion is not to be classed
as a work of super-irrigation."—New
York Evening Post.
Boy Scouts Like Knights of Old.
When good King Arthur ruled, boys
were trained for knighthood, says a
writer in the Christian Herald. This
began when they were seven or eight
years of age. Their first course was
when they gave seven or eight year?
of constant attendance and waiting
upon a
w«?re taught religion and morals and
love by the chaplain. They were
taught to walk as soldiers, and to ride
as brave hunters. They were accus-
tomed to military exercises and ath-
letic sports. They voluntarily suf-
fered heat and cold, hunger and thirst,
fatigue and sleeplessness in order that
they might become hardened When
between fifteen and sixteen years of
age the "pages" became "squires," and
in the ordinary course of chivalrous
education "knighthood" was reached
in early manhood. There is much in
the Boy Scout movement of today that
reminds us of the training for knight-
hood. The solemn promise made by
a Boy Scout at his initiation is "I will
be a friend to every living creature,
man or beast, and a brother to every
other scout, fortunate or unfortunate,
rich or poor. 1 will be courteous
to all."

How Queen Rules King Emmanuel.
The queen of Italy, discussing smok-
ing with Queen Mary of Great Britain,
remarked vivaciously : "I can overlook
many faults In a man, and make many
allowances for his shortcomings*
"One fault in a man, however, I can
never forgive, and that is—his not
smoking. Whenever King Emmanuel
seems annoyed I give him his pipe:
«vhen he is good-tempered I get him a
cigarette: when I want hiin to do
something very particular 1 offer him
a cigar.
"With a pipe I can console him;
with a cigarette I can delight him;
but with a cigar I can lead him any-
how and anywhere."
In Moment of Inspiration.
The present Lord Tennyson tells
In his charming biography of his
father, the late poet laureate, that he
wrote "Crossing the Bar" in a few-
minutes. He had been down to Sol
combe, near Bolt Head, where there
is a bar which makes a curious
moaning. He sat on the cliffs listen
Secret of Perpetual Youth.
"Fall in love and keep constantly
falling in love if you wish to remain
young," said Dr. Josiah Oldfield, in the
course of one of his lectures on the
"Secret of Perpetual Youth."
"There is nothing more Important
than this to prevent men and women
from growing old.
"If you are married, all you have tc
do is to fall In love all over again
with your husband or your wife. If
you do this you will never find time
to adopt the nagging habit, and noth-
ing ages like matrimonial nagging."
Dr. Oldfield Is strong in his denun-
ciation of the loveless Individual.
"If you do not know how to fall in
love," he says, "you must practice
until you learn, and when you have
learned, then you are young again.
"A person who haS" never been In
love and never wants to be ought to
be drowned," is the conviction of Dr.
Oldfield.
