St.rn Critic of Education.
The teacher bud sent numerous
notes in vulo endeavor to net Johnny
bathed and cleaned up. There was
no reply and no vlslhle Improvement
in the buy's appearance, until at last
the mother, driven to desperation,
sent the teacher a long tetter saying,
among other things: "What Is It to
the teacher whether the children la
their schools have a bath once a day,
or once a week, or once a month, or
once a year? They are washing the
sup nil out of the children, and that
is how so much tuberculosis gets
started."

In Egypt thick beaten wire was
made into chains as far back as the
second dynasty. 52(H B. C. : and links
doubled and looped through one an
other appeared In the sixth dynasty,
4200 B. C. , Vet chains were not com
monly used until much later. The
Gauls excelled in such work, as they
nsed chain cables and rigging in place
of rope to resist the Atlantic gales.

' The Dark Ages.
The dark ages was a period of about
six hundred years In European history,
commencing with the fall of the west
ern Roman empire (476 A. D.) and
continuing until the close of the elev
enth century (1100 A. D.) The dark
ages comprl.d the first two-thirds
of the middle ages and were character
ized by extreme Intellectual apathy
and gross religious superstition. The
sway of the church wss universal, and
learning was at Its lowest ebb. Kan
