It is not at all true that labor is a curse, It is the best kind has . It is the essential clement that has developed us from savagery and is passing us on up toward divinity. Countless volumes of silly non- sense have been and are being writ- ten about pain and degradation of labor enforced upon man by nature, But the man does not live who has not been made better in mind and blessing that man- THE LAKELAND NEWS s weekly newspaper giving a Tre- sume of local matters, crop condi- tions, county affairs, etc. Sent anywhere for $1.00 per year. says Teddy.

At the wedding feast of Richavd, brother of Henry 1, there were no fewer than 30,000 dishes, and scarce- Iy less imposing must have been the hanquet given on the occasion of the enthronement of Archbishop Ne- ville in the fifteenth century, for mention is made, among other co- mestibles, of 3,000 dishes of jelly, £,000 hot custards, 100 swans, 6 wild bulls and 100 pigs. At the noted feasts of the gay and hospitable Prince Hal a favorite dish was what the “‘epicurean cooks” called *pon- derrage.” It was a savory jumble of partridge, pork and the yolks of boiled eggs first und afterwards rolled in batter. B ut the most hos: pitable entertainer on record was surely Richard 1. Ten thousand of his subjects were daily bid to the banquet. In order to cater ade- quately for such a vast assembly of guests never were there less than N oxen supplied, 200 sheep, besides innumerable fowls and choice game, These were handed over each morn- ing at daybreak to the 2,000 cooks in the King's kitchen, and the pro- digious preparations for the huge mediaeval banquet began - London Globe, A CRABAPPLE CHRISTIAN.

The cinematograph enables the pu- pil to follow the unfolding of a bud into a perfect flower, or to see the construction of a house or the load- ing of a ship. But are the impres- sions as lasting 2s would be made by those imparted by the old process or oral instruction after studying the print? In the Paris schoels the illustrated Lakeland, lectures are timed to run for about twenty minutes. They cover a wide range of subjects, One day the chil- dren are taken on a journey to some far part of the world; next day they are shown the interior of a factory, or a shipyard, and again they are given pictures and a lecture on plants. It is said that there is tar Tess of truancy in the schools since the pictures were put in than there was before, It seems that the chil- dren are eager for the entertainment and at the samg time cateh quickly the tiend of the story that is being illustrated. Dr. Brockert, who has charge of the moving pictures in the Paris schools, is firmly convinced that they will prove of great advan- tage, especially in aiding children who are not quite so bright in their studies as other children. A dull child, he says, will catch an idea from a picture that a text book would fail to convey for a long time, if ever at all. Tle says that a demonstra- film ought not to run more than fif- teen or twenty minutes at longest, and says that the teacher should be talking all the time about the sub- ject shown. What would the school masters of fifty years ago have thought of that method of imparting knowledge? —Savannah News, ROGERS & ELANTON Lawyers. Bryant Block, 'Phone 319 Lakeland, Fla.
