Italian educational circles are deeply interested in a pamphlet by the famous educator and writer Senator Raffaelli Garofalo on "Edu- cational Methods in Latin and Brit- ish Civilizations." He begins by saying that it need not be regarded as lack of patriot- ism because he questions the results of Latin education as manifested by his own race. He says that there is no question but that the English methods of education produce a higher level of morality than any other in the world. The Italian methods, on the other hand, pro- duce an amount of impulsiveness which leads to the perpetration of crimes, which are prevalent in Italy. The English method is directly op- posed to the Italian one, which is incessantly dwelling on the indi- viduality of the child and cultivates in the end a lack and self-control and an increase of the same impul- siveness which is a trait most akin to the savage and the animal. The Senator says that English education which does nothing to de- velop individuality has produced the most individual individuals in the world. He asks why th qual- ities of fortitude, self-control and oo-operation which distinguished the ancient Romans have been transferred to the Anglo-Saxon race and ascribes the national faults of the modern Italian to modern Ital-, ian methods which place individ- ualism above discipline. The exist- ence of the Black Hand in Amer- iea, he says. is the outcome of this education of non-discipline. Carberryites Said to Be Involved By Firebttg's Confession. A despatch from Winnipeg says: According to Provincial Fire Com- missioner Lindback, J. A. Marshall of Carberry has confessed to having set fire to Garland’s store in that town three years ago.

Several other well- known C'arberry people may be in- wlvod, and startling revelations are expected when the parties are brought to trial. A. E. Webb was arrested on Tuesday at Carberry on a charge of having instigated hrer, that occurred at the same time. He is being held at Portage la Prairie tor trial. Marshall is also under arrest, and is confined in the Brandon Jail, where he is stated to have confessed qYery- thing. Lumbermnn Passed Through a Bard Time. A despatch from Find River says: Lost for sixteen days in the bush, during which time he lived entirely on berries, a man who gave his name as John Black, was found in a deserted hut by a young Frenchman, who happened upon the deserted camp while out on a paddling excursion. Black, when found, was in a terrible condition. His only clothing consisted of a pair of old overalls, held together by pieces of wire. His body was a mass of sores, the result of scratch- es sustained while groping through the undorbrush, and mosquito stings. His feet were badly lacer- ated, and he was in a terrible ema- ciated condition. He was hurried to the hospital here, and it is thought he will recover. Largest Dairy Farm on the West- ern Hemisphere. A despatch from Winnipeg says: The largest dairy farm on the en- tire western hemisphere is now be- ing whipped into shape at Beading- ly, a suburb of this city. When completely stocked the farm will count 2,500 head of cattle within its fences. and with 1,500 of these giving milk. the total yearly output of milk and cream should be 2,000,- 000 gallons. It is estimated that Minneapolis and St. Paul furnish this city with about 8500,00o worth of milk, etc.. s year, which, with the estimated output of this him. would be eliminated.

A despatch from London, Eng- land, says: On the witness stand at the comner’s inquest into the death of Juanita Camp, 29, wife of a ieweller's clerk, living in Little Chatham Place, Walworth, who was burned to death in her bed, hcr husband testified that for the past six years his wife had been addict- ed to the habit of drinking methy- lated spirits, which caused her limbs to become rigid as though paralyzed. He also said that his wife smoked cigarettes in bed and read by candle-light. It is pre- sumed that a spark from her cigar- ette ignited the bed-clothing, and because of her inability to escape she was burned to death. Will Be Seen at the Canadian Na. tional Exhibition. Moving pictures in firewerks are surely the newest thing in pyro- technics. And the newest thing in all lines are served at the Canadian National Exhibition. Among the motion pictures framed in fire that are on the bill are a threshing ma- chine, with wheels running and grain pouring from the spout, an auto fire engine that runs so fast it crashes into an automobile, and flying machines. Add to these the changing illumination, the colored balloons, the exploding bombs, the soaring rockets, the massive golden fountains and dispersing radiating batteries, and you have a fireworks bill more varied and more wonder- ful than anything ever before pre- sented at the Canadian National. Sentenced to Nine Months Hard Labor. A despatch from Liverpool says: Mrs. Edith Rigby, the well-known suffragette of Preston, was sen- tenced on Wednesday to nine months' hard labor on the charge of setting fire to the country resi- dence of Sir William H. Lever at Rivington, Lancashire, on July 8, and causing damage estimated at $100,000. The prisoner, who is the wife of a. physician, admitted her guilt, and also confessed to being the perpetrator of the bomb out- rage at the Liverpool Cotton Ex- change on July tr.

Notwithstanding that the ttsought- less man or woman is generally the happiest, this way of taking life very often brings heavy penalties, sooner or later. Of all the middle- aged and elderly people who crowd tho doctora' waiting rooms, prob- ably one half are there through their own neglect. Rheumatism, gout, chronic indigestion, heart troubles are created very largely by our own indiscretions. The machinery of the body gives very little trouble in the first half of life, and hence we treat it with little consideration. When middle- age comes, with the natural degen- eration of all parts of the body, our early ill-treatment shows itself in dilated stomachs, fatty degener- ation of the heart, shaky nerves, hardened livers, or stiff joints. There is scarcely any part which one person or another does not abuse and scarcely any organic trouble which is not in that way pro- duced. Take the stomach, for instance. In countless ways we ill-treat this patient organ. Some bolt their food, some eat too large meals, some go too Jong without eating. Most people take tea and other liquids so hot that even the tough akin of the finger could not bear them. Think what mischief these must do down below to the delicate lining and glands of the stomach. These indiscretions have many evil consequences. They weaken the digestive organs, produce in- f1ammation and catarrh. Food then remains too long in the injured stomach, where it ferment: and gives rise to great quantities of gas. At first people make little of an attack of indigestion, but by the age of 35 or 40 the great majority have permanently damaged the stomach, and it remains a source of trouble for the remainder of their life, caus- ing drowsiness, giddiness, noises in the ears, sleeplessness, and a dozen more unpleasant symptoms. Liver Ill-treated. Then there is the liver. Who does not suffer from some tdfeetion of the liver? He eats rich food day after day, he drinks alcohol beyond the daily physiological allowance (a wineglass of whisky or its equiva- lent in wine or beer.) He takes the alcohol not at the . proper time, which is during or immediately af- ter a substantial meal. Or a woman may squeeze her figure out of all shape. The catarrh, after coming and go- ing a. few times, becomes chronic. The gas and the mass of stagnant food dilate: the stomach, and once this condition is established it is almost incurable. The result of this and other forms of ill-treatment is a congested or fatty or hardened liver, and per- haps gall-stones and colic. This damage also is generally perman- ent. The kidneys, likewise, are nbominably treated. Nearly every well-to-do person eats so much meat that, working at full pressure night and day, the kidneys cannot " ways get rid of the waste. A great number of people do even more harm by drinking too much beer or spirits. And probably no one ever con- siders that these organs are fre- quently damaged by chills. It is therefore no wonder that in middle life so many suffer from Bright'l disease, drowsy, and other affection, of the kidneys. In the same manner diabetes is also sometimes caused. But the chief factor in this case is a seden- tary life with prolonged intellect- ual work. Diabetes has been called the "lawyers" disease," being so often seen in solicitors because of their combinations of brain work and inaction of the muscles. Any- one who leads a sedentary life may be storing up this disease for his later yen-s. - The heart, probably more than any other organ, is taxed beyond its power of endurance. Young men undertake great muscular feats, even men getting on in age climb mountains, cycle long distances, and in other ways put a strain up- on the heart that dilutes it and {nukes it incompetent to the end of ife. Of gout we all know the reputed cause-too much meat. combined with too much aleohol. And of rheumatism the cause is no less well known-exposure to cold, wet and fatigue. But who ever thinks in time of what he is preparing for himself by these habitcl Corpulenee we bring on by a, slug- gish, rest-loving life, with too much food for the amount of work done. We weaken the arteries of our brain and make ourselves liable to apop- lexy by giving way to passion and other forms of mental excitement. We strain our rye-s reading in bad light, in shaking vehiclaa, in bed, and bring on blindness, or All ap- proach to it, in our old age. We neglect our teeth, which become curious and poison the stomach or drop out and leave us chronic dya- peptiea. - - We. expose ourselves tp the risk of colds, which, repeated often enough, develop into chronic bron- chitis. the commonest and most crippling trouble of the laster end of lite, In many other wan; even the most. sensible persona actually manufac- ture their own diseases.
