Naturalist Replaces Nuts With Stones— Repents When He Sees Hungry j

Frisky Dig Snow Away.

Most squirrels keep Awo. or more stores of food. Rev. J. (J. Wood, the naturalist , tells of u friend who found one of these reserve stores, which a squirrel had provided for an emergency i and. in a moment of thoughtlessness. 1 the man determined to play a joke on the squirrel, l ie accordingly replaced the nuts hy small, aound stones and carefully concealed all evidences of his visit.

One cold day In winter he passed the spok and found that the squirrel had called there a short time previously.This he knew by the fac t th a t ten inches of snow had been scratched from the top of the hole, outside of which the stones h.-tgl been cast by the disappointed unimal.

This struck the joker with remorse.He sa id : “ I never felt the folly of practical joking so much In my life.F a n c y >be poqr little fellow, nipped with cold, fi!“ J scanty food, but, fore- i seeing n long winter, resolved to econ­omize his little hoard ns much as pos­sible. Fancy him at Inst determined to break this—perhaps his las t—mag­azine. nnd cheerfully brushing away the snow, fully confident that a good meal awaited him as the reward of his cold job. and af te r all finding nothing but stones. I never felt more raenn nnd ashumed in my life.8

Heat Reaching 163 Degrees Is Hurled Into One’s Face Like Sheet

of Fire.

When the ca ravans in olden days went up from Samarcund and Bokhara to Mery for silks and carpets, or can rled spices for Europe to the Cnsplun ports, some of them occasionally w an­dered off into the desert of Knra-Kum, and few of those ever returned. This desert, which is smaller but more te r ­rible thnn Sahara , came to be known as “the tomb of caravans.”

If you were to venture Into the desert of Knra-Kum you would travel hy camel. At first you would pass through a land of scrubby bushes nnd rest a t noon near a wetl surrounded by a tiny native village a t the bottom of a dimple In the desert. And here you would feel your first touch of the desert hea t—a heat th a t reaches 163 degrees In the sun and Is hurled Into jo u r face by the wind like a veritable sheet of flame.

In the comparative cool of evening 5 ou would push on Into the desert proper. P resently from the top of a Might elevation you would see It reach­ing before you—a petrified s torm at sea, an ocean of sand. T here Is nothing bu t sand, nnd It Is tossed by a ceaseless wirid Into billows miles long thu t creep forward perhaps a foot a year, burying everything In their path. The wind tears banners of flying snnd from their crests as yon look, releasing cascades th a t go rum ­bling Into the burning hollows.

The path across this desert Is marked only hy bits of bone and stick, occasionally by a hum an skull. It Is easily lost In th e dark, and It Is the thread which connects one shallow, muddy well w ith another. Many have lost It and they are stlH In the desert of Kara-Kum.

HE BLAZED NEWSPAPER TRAIL

Voting Ohio Prin ter Estsbllshed In­dianapolis ' Firs t News Dissemina­

tor in 1822, in Log Cabin.

The first newspaper published In Indianapolis was the Indianapolis Ga­zette, s ta r ted in Janunry, 1822, by Na­thaniel Bolton, a young prin ter who came f^om Ohio. He was born at Chtlllcothe, once an Indian town, and lator for a few years the capitnl of Ohio. He learned the p r in te r ’s trade there and moved to Indianapolis a year af te r the capital was located there. In a remhilscvgit address many years later he s a id :

“T he Gazette was established In a buckeye log cabin of but one room, part of which was occupied for a fam­ily residence. It was printed on new type. The Ink was put on with balls made of dressed deer skin stuffed with wool. The halls, when out of Use. were kept soft by the application of raccoon oil. There was no post office nearer than Connersvllle, n distance of 00 miles; but a private mull was es­tablished and a person employed to go to Connersville every four weeks to bring the le tte rs nnd newspapers. In February, 1823, the president’s mes­sage, delivered in December. 1822. came to hand and w: published In the two or th ree succeeding numbers of the Gazette. During the year 1$22 n United S ta tes mail was established, and In a short time we had our mull from the E as t every two weeks, unless detained hy high waters.” A year a f te r s ta r t ing the Gazette Mr. Bolton became a mail carrier. In liis reminis­cent address lie says:

“In 1823, having Received a contract from the postm aster general. I pro­ceeded with the first United States mail north of Indianapolis to the then recently deserted village of Anderson- town. A post oilice on the route was established a t the home of William Connor, foirr miles south of Nobles- vllle, and there was another post office fit Strnwtown. a prairie of consider­able magnitude, where many remains of the Indian village that had been lo­cated there were still standing.”

EnrthT The perspiration tha t result* from your labors Is carrying away nox­ious elements from yonr blood. Strength nnd vigor come from contact with the soil. In this kinship to the earth Is found one reason tlutt nearly all of our greatest men have been country-bred hoys. It Is why farmer boys of toduy are s tronger and more able than youths reared In cities. Do not he afraid If yonr hand acquires a few callouses or n brownish tint.

RAISE FIVE VICE PRESIDENTS

TyU r, Fillmore, Johnson, A rthu r and RooM vtlt Succeeded on Death

of the Preeldent.

F iv e T ice presidents of the United S ta te s have on the death of the presi­d e n t succeeded to the higher office. T he first president to die while In office was William Henry Harrison, g rand­f a th e r of Benjamin Harrison of In­diana. His deuth occurred April 4, 1841, Just one month af te r his Inaugur­ation. T he vice president, John Tyler, then a t his country home In Virginia, w as ofllclnlly notified of the event and on reaching Washington, ut once took th e oath of office ns president.

As this was the first case of the kind then* was much discussion for n time In and out of congress ns to Tyler 's p ro p e r title— tha t Is, w hether lie was “ Tice president of the United States a e t in g as p residen t” or president. It w as finally conceded on nil sides tha t ♦he language of the Constitution Is d e a r th a t on the dea th of the presi­d e n t in office the vice president be­comes, In name a s In fact, president. T h e fram ers of the Constitution did •Ot leave the door open for trouble t h a t might ar ise regarding the legullty •of s e t s done by an “noting p r e s id e n t”

On the death of President Zachary Tay lo r , Ju ly 9, 18S0, Vice Presiden t M illard Fillmore succeeded to the pres­idency and was nt n Inter dn te an un ­successful candida te for election to the •dice . Andrew Johnson, the th ird vice p re s id e n t to succeed to the h igher of­fice, took the onth April 15. 1805, the d a y a f te r the nssnsslnntlon of Presi­d e n t Lincoln. P residen t Garfield was sh o t Ju ly 2, 1881, died the following September 19. and wns Immediately succeeded by Vice President C hester A. A rthur. Vice Presiden t Roosevelt suc­ceeded President McKinley, who died Septem ber 14, 1901, nnd was th e only one of five vice p residen ts th u s suc­ceeding to the office who w as subse­quen t ly elected to It.

SLOW TRAVEL IN MANCHURIA

SING TO SETTLE QUARRELS

T he Eskimos, who live In the Ice­bound. barren Northland, hnve a way of se ttl ing quarre ls which seems very s t ran g e nnd am using to those who live in a lnnd of policemen nnd courts of Justice. There, when qunrre ls arise, the m an who hns a grlevnnce w ri tes n song In which he tells the wrongs that h ave been done him. When th is has been composed to his satisfaction, he invites his enemy to come nnd hear him sing It. This the enemy m ust do, and he brings with him all his rela­tives and many of his friends, while the singer also has gathered his friends and relatives for th e occasion, which is considered something of a general en ter ta inm ent by the people a f the vil­lage In which the men live.

Then, while o the r men of the village pound madly on huge drums, the song of wrongs Is begun. When It Is fin­ished, If the audience expresses ap ­proval. th e singer Is considered to have won and to have a Just enuse of com­plaint. Rut If dissatisfaction Is ex­pressed, th a t Is considered sufficient punishment. A fter the song everyone dances nnd the par ty b reaks up In g rea t good humor.

Although It Is much easier to reach Manchuria now than It was te a or fif­teen yearH ago. the man who would truvel In the Interior of this primitive p a r t of China, as soon as he leaves the few railroads must rely upon meniiH th a t were s tandard a century ago.

At night he will stop a t an tan where he must supply his own bed and u la rge port of Ids own food, unless he Is willing to he sntlsfled with a little holled corn. The walls of his room will tie of paper nnd eyes will peer at him through holes hastily punched for the purpose. In the morning his driv­er will awaken him before daylight nnd s ta r t him on nnother long dny of Jolts and freezing.

In the summ er travel Is easie r nnd pleasanter, but nlso much slower. A l e n t may be taken upon one of the rivers. It will crawl along between pleasantly shaded hanks nnd green fields, every lit tle while coming to rest upon a «-audhar, so tha t progress Is un­believably slow, even going down stream.

Human Activity.

T h e o ther dny a famous au th o r was telling me how he felt when his first s tory was accepted. He said th a t wtth- la a few minutes the thought flashed across his mind tha t he could not stop — but must go on. One good story m ust be followed by another and an ­o the r nnd another—else his reputation would die and he would be humiliated. Be said th a t the feeling was not ex­actly comfortable— th a t the prospect was In a way terrible. “Being success­ful," he said, “ Is not easy. T he sue. cessful man advertises to the world th a t he can do certain things well— and he m ust go on making good or back off the mnp. I t 's a g rea t sensa­tion, a g rea t experience— worth almost anyth ing—but It isn’t a snap .”

I t Is the same way In business, says a w r i te r In the American Magazine. T h e salesman who sets a high mark h a s to go r igh t ou t and bea t thnt m urk or suffer by comparison with his own record. H e can’t s it down In s rocking cha ir and devote the rest of h is life to receiving congratulations.

An editor 's Job Is exactly like thnt of a waiter. H e has to go and get something good and bring It In. And a f te r he has brought It In he hns to go r ight out nnd get some­th ing more nnd bring th a t In. The m inute he s i ts down or stops to talk unnecessarily with the guests, he censes to give a s good service a s be ­fore. Then the guests who praised h im a moment ago begin to growl. And so, alm ost immediately, he h a s tu rn ed from a good se rv a n t into • poor one.

T h is fits any line of hum an activity. A continuous perform ance Is w h a t la wanted. Nothing else counts.

JUDICIAL SYSTEM S ARE OLD

Men W rangled Over Rights and W rongs From Time They Began

to Live Together.

T h e concrete beginning of a system- lzed Judiciary, w rites Lewis M. Hosoa in Cnse and Comment, a re ns old as the trlbnl relation. Men quarreled about r igh ts nnd wrongs as soon as they began to live together as a com­munity, and the chief of the tribe, or the "elders," Judged between claim­ants.

Indeed, a t th e earliest beginnings of recorded history we find In Egypt a judicial system. Including a reviewing pow er nnd remnrknbly developed Ideas of adm inistra tive Justice. Judic ia l of­ficers In the ir ep itaphs rest the ir claim to Immortality upon having judged Im­partially , never oppressing the wenk nnd humble, nnd the ir merciful regard for the fa therless nnd the widow.

In the Code of H am m urabi of Rnhy- lon were embodied ninny of the essen­tial principles of modern Justice which were transm itted to European peoples through the conquests of Alexander nnd the Romans. These form the primal basis of the Roman civil law of our English ancestors, derived through the early tribes of northern Europe.

Even old Hom er (0C> II. (".) gives us a suggestive pic ture of the modern sys­tem of court tr ials, ns the Odyssey: “W hnt time the Judge forsakes the

noisy b a rT o tnke repast, nnd stills the wordy

war."

uence of Tactful Attorney Credited to Newipaper Story and He

Loses His Case.

A a old muD was arres ted fo r b es t­ial his wife. Application was made

to have him put under • peace bond. Thinking the case too sisoll fo r him to bother with, rela tes Case und Com­ment, the county a t to rney asked Judge Albert D. Norton, t lu n a young law­yer, to appeur for the stat** at the trial. An attorney from Macon—a man who had quite a reputa tion as a “p leader"—went over to defend the old man. Curled In front of the defendant ’• as a yellow dog. Vest’s "Eulogy of the Dog” hud recently appeared tn some paper. It was not neurly so f a ­miliar then ns It lots since become. When the o ra to r from Macon snw the yellow dog nt the old m an’s feet he re­called Senator Vest’s speech, nnd was alive to the opportunity for an effec­tive appeal to the Jury.

“Gentlemen,” and he Indicated the mongrel, "wbeta all o ther friends de­se rt the dog remnlns. If fortune drives the m aste r forth an outcast In the world, friendless and homeless, the fnlthful dog asks no higher privilege than tha t of accompanying to guard ngalnst danger, to fight against his enemies; nnd when the last scene of nil comes, nnd when death ta k es the m as te r In Its embrace, nnd his body Is laid away In the cold ground, no m a t te r if all o ther friends pursue th e ir way, there hv his grave­side will be the noble dog he found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, b u t open In a ler t watchfulness, f a i th ­ful nnd true even In dea th !"

So well wns it delivered some of the Jurymen cried. All looked tow ard the aged defendant sympathetically. It is said thnt even the dogs eyes were moist. I t was p re tty clear the defend­a n t ’s lawyer hud things coming his w ay ; but Norton had the windup, and during the noon recess he hunted up n paiier which had the dog speech In It. This he produced nnd read to the ju ry in the afternoon, word for word ns opposing counsel recited, and which the ju ry thought was original.

“You see. gentlemen of the ju ry ,” said Norton. “Senator Vest w as talking about nnother dog altogether. He never heard of this yellow c u r ! ”

The Jury found the defendant guilty.

CAT HELPS FIND THE LEAK

ingenius Plumber Demonstra tes Feline, With Aid of Catnip, Is Worth

Having Around.

"T here nre more w ays than one to kilt a cat.” says an old proverb, and " the re a re more ways than one to use n cut." is the new reading. H ere is an I l lu s tra t io n :

A plumber w as called upon to locate a supposed leak in a ten-story tene­m ent house. A fter a day’s cogitation and sundry profitless soundings and sniffings, he finally hit upon a plan. H e went to a drug store nnd bought 10 cen ts’ worth of lluld ex tract of valerian — commonly culled catnip. Then he took the elevator to the fop floor and poured the valerian diluted with w ater down the drain. H alf an hour la te r he took a cat a n d visited each floor In

j tu rn .T he cat exhibited no Interest until u

room In the seventh story was reached. Then, with a hound, it sprung from the

I p lum ber’s a rm s and began to paw the | wall, mewing loudly. A hole was made

In the wall, and there, sure enough, was the leak.

Thnt p lum ber deserves to make a fo rtune from his Ingenuity.

Among the More Intereating Thing* to Be Seen !n “Steamer Lanes”

of the Atlantic.

Among tho wonders of the sen there • r e few more Interesting things than Icebergs fur the ir size, shapes and the m anner In which they a r ray them­selves.

Icebergs exhibit n tendency tn form both clusters and long lines, and these groupings may arise from the effects both of ocean curren ts and of storms.

Some very singular lines of bergs, 'extending for many hundreds of miles east of Newfoundland, have been shown on official charts Issued by the government.

ARTISTS FAMOUS AS WRITERS MANIA HOR BURIED TREASURE

Several of the Most Noted Novelists Deserted the Brush for Lit­

e ra ry Work.

Bevernl a r t i s ts of note have been known to desert the brush for the pen, and when they have died they have le f t their m ark behind them as lit­e rary men, observes an exchange. Wil­liam dc Morgan did this. He wrote th e longest se t of novels since Dick­ens nnd Thackeray “ceased firing," al­though he was an old m an when he

/ took *n the pen. George du Maorler was an a r t i s t who turned au thor a f te r making a European fame with the pen­cil as a sa t ir is t of society. He sudden­ly s tartled the world with “Trilby." and set two continents comparing feet. W ith him novel-writing seemed his true forte , but he hnd s ta r ted too late. He only enjoyed his new fame a few year%

Even Thuekem y tried a r t before he found his t ru e vocation, and he Illus­tra ted several of his own hooks even then. A very piquant story tells of Thackeray cnlllng on Charles Dickens to see If he could get the commission to Illustrate one of his ea rlier novels. H e had not written “Vanity F a ir" then !

A very distinguished ar t is t-au thor was Dante Gabriel Itossettl, who was supreme in both arts.

k sumptuous vessels, f ram ed of Iron, lux­urious In appointment, propelled from within, and gay with color os so many swimming summ er gardens— these op- plauded achievements do not tend of neoesslt.v to the upbuilding of nobler courage, to the development of n lu­minous moral wisdom, to the culture of even philosophical refinement, or the nur ture of t h ^ temper of devout a s ­piration. On the other hnnd, do we tiot sometimes feel tha t vir tue among us Is coming to be too much a m a t­

t e r of m anners ; tha t the Intense sub­jective processes from which august character Is derived nre In n measure being superseded by the mechanical contrivances and the physical suc­cesses with which our noisy years re ­sound ; nnd th a t the grand and lovely spirits, which are present still, nnd In which, w henever we touch them, we find strnngc chnrm nnd Inspiration, ure fewer nnd lonelier th a n they w ere? — lUchnrd Sinter Mtorrs.

Seekers of W ealth Always a t Work on Sunken 8panlah Vessels Along

European Coast.

There have ulways been treusure- seekers diligently endeavoring to dis­cover and bring to light the weultl) hidden by the ir predecessors. Only a few years ngo a princess of the royal hloml of Britain was seeking for gold In the depths of the sou. She—it wus

; the l 'rlncess Louise— had the right to | the hulks of the vessels of the Ill-fated

Spanish Armada, which welit down off the Isle of Mull during the ir scured and hurricane-driven flight rouufl the British Isles. She had li t tle more luck thim her ancestors, who hud been working a t tha t treasure-trove since the seventeenth cen tu ry , for only a few old cannon and a small number of coins were brought to the surface.

In the days when Druke sailed the sens u Spanish galleon ulways meant plenty of gold to the British sailor, nnd romance and tradition have taken nothing from their luster, so th a t wreckers and treasure-hunters are pructlcnlly always ut work at some one or o ther of the ancient Spanish wrecks tha t He all round the coasts of Europe.

It Is not generally known tha t when Queen Victoria died she left to the Princess Beatrice her r ights to the gold in the ships of the Spanish Ar­mada lying a t the bottom of the Eng­lish Channel. How rich a trove th a t Is may be judged from the fact tha t longshoremen all along the south const make a practice of seeking for the coins tha t u sou’-wester drives on to the beach out of these sam e vessels.

She hoarded a trolley. All the sea ts were occupied and she had to stund. When the conductor shouted. “lu r e s , please I" she guve a sudden s ta r t nnd dropped something. She began to look on the door. The conductor kept on saying, "Fures, p le a s6 !” ’

“I've dropped It," said the young woman, “I’ve dropped u quar te r , and I don't seem to be able to see It.”

"I cuu't help tha t ,” replied the con­ductor. "You’ll have to pay your fare .”

"I haven 't any irnire money.""Then you'll have to get off a t the

A young man sitting In the seat in f ron t of the distressed duinsel spoke up :

"Pardon me, miss,” he said, "may I pay your fare?"

"I 'd he awfully obliged." she replied8o the f a re was paid. T he polite

HE WAS NOT TO BE OUTDONE

R«OMv«lt WouM N«t Allow Magaxlna

Colonel Roosevelt gave a luncheon In his New York office one day to a company of young magazine writers. These young writers had had m a n f adventures, and they told the colonel many Interesting stories. One, how­ever. a sportsm an, 'd rew the long bow.

After the sportsman had drawn the long bow almost to the breaking point In a yarn about a hippopotamus, Colo­nel Roosevelt fixed his glit tering eye­glasses on the criminal and began:

"Let me tell you an experience of my own. my boy, an experience almost ns Incredible ns yours. In DS I wns shooting grizzly hear In the Rockies. I tracked a grizzly to a high penk one day. I advanced toward it along the edge of a precipice 300 feet high. Get­ting n good shot at Inst. I let drive, hut missed. The hear came for me then like lightning. I took aim again, but ns I wns about to fire my foot slipped. I fell, nml m.v gnu dropped and rolled over the precipice. Tie re T lay. unarm ed and helpless, and the maddened grizzly not six feet nw.iy.”.

n e r e the colonel paused and t >nk n Sip from the tall glass of milk—i ..Ik Is his favorite beverage— before him.

The mendacious young mnn fr.iuned Impntlently.

“Well?” he said. “Well? Go on. W hat hnppened?”

The colonel, looking him calmly in the eye. replied:

“T he grizzly devoured me.”

Hindu Ten Commandments Are Hur.j on Walls of Theological College

a t Madras.

T here a re ten commandments hung on the walls of the Hindu Theologhrl College In Madras, nnd while tie y were not promulgated hv Moses, th y might he displayed In every Christian college with advantage, says an ex- elwinge. They a r e :

(1) P ray to God as soon as you rise from your bed—5, 5:10 a. m. (2) Wash your body and keep your surroundings clean—6:10, 5:30 a. m. (3) P ros t ra te yourself before your parents or g u ar­dians, and take good exercise—5:30, 6:30 a. m. (4) Prepare well your les­sons—6:30, 9 a. m. (5) Attend school regularly and punctually, and do the school work properly. (6) Obey and respect your teachers, and the teach­ers of the o ther classes nnd other re­spectable persons. (7) Rend till 8 p. ni. at home. (8) Pray to God and go to bed—0 p. m. to 5 a. m. (9) Keep good company nnd avoid had company. (10) Practice righteousness at all times.

Two Types of Elephants.There nre two distinct types of cle-

phnnts—the African nnd Indian. Tho former have developed lln* largest an i­mals and nre quite different from the Indian type, having only four visible toes on the rea r feet, as against five In the Indian, the ears a rc very much larger nnd the splnnl ridge of the Afri­can shows a marked hump or rise, be­ginning at the hips, whereas the In ­dian e lephant’s hack slopes gently downwurd from this point. The Afri­can defies the fiercest sun. while the Indian lopes away from It to the heavi­est. coolest shade.

The age of tho elephants Is widely disputed, the best calculations of hun t­ers and scientists being admittedly only a little more thnn hnzards.

Sir Samuel Baker, an authority, s ta tes the average life of on elephant to be about 150 years. I t Is exactly known tha t elephonts have lived In captivity for 130 years. Noturnllsts believe, however, an elephant’s life In the wild s ta te to lie twice as long, ac ­cording to a recently published book called "The Elephant."

Only Rubber-Producing Plant.Successful at tem pts have been made

to bring under profitable cultivation the desert rubber plant, gun.vule. The wild shrubs hnve long been collected in great quantities in Mexico, and the rubber, which grades much lower thnn para, Is extracted by such simple pro­cesses ns to make Its production very profitable. The task of the developing methods of cultivation, says a Carne­gie Institute report, has now been suc- cessfqlly accomplished by p r . W. B. MncG’ullum. who, In making a genetic analysis of the plant, has found tha t It Includes several elementary species, which do not readily Interbreed. S tud­ies of the plant have been made nt the desert laboratory, Tucson, while In the same neighborhood a compnny has purchnsed 7.000 nores of Innd on which to establish guayule culture. Tula Is the only rubber-producing plant grow­ing within the borders of the United Stntes.'

CHEETAHS USED FOR HUNTERS : IMPORTANT TO BE ON TIME

Are Regarded aa

- - and • ta lk ing

a tfi»<Aw1fUet of im 8 p * d , Qours( ilkiiig Ability.

T he fasteat an im ation four legs Is •e ld to be tbe cheetah or hunting leop­ard, which Is part of tbe establish toent Of many aa Indian noble.

The cheetah Is a tall, rangy spotted cat as large aa the America puma £ n d la the only one of the large cats tnj^ch has been domesticated so th a t It may be controlled In the open field by the voice of man.

This hunting cat Is a wonderful com­bination of speed, courage and s ta lk ­ing a b i l i ty ; Indeed, the chief weakness of hunting with the cheetah as a sport Is tha t fhe cheetah doea everything and has all the fun.

Any trave ler who visits an Indian po ten ta te In the excellent hunting re­gions along the foothills of the H im a­layas will be sure to be taken hunting with the prince 's Cheetahs. These fo r ­mal hun ts a re specially dull, as the game Is commonly driven by beut- ers almost under the nose of the cat, which merely butchers It. On more Informal hunts, however, there Is much maneuvering with the curt In which the cheetahs are held until the anl- i mis see the quarry, which Is usually some sort of deer. Then the cheetah U unhanded ami ei ther proceeds by r.n e laborate s talk to approach and kill 1 lie deer o r If It Is close to make one i t' those lightning rushes from which nothing on ea r th is fleet enough to es­cape. Occasionally a buck, taken by surprise, will tu rn nnd catch the springing ca t upon his horns, thus turning the tables completely.

HE BELIEVES IN PUBLICITY

Dutiful Husband Assists Wife In Re­ceiving, and W ants His Friends

to Know It.

A small, ra the r tlinld-Iooklng man entered a newspaper office and ap ­proached the clerk.

“Are yon the man who takes In so­ciety news?” he queried with an ap ­pealing look.

"Yes. sir." cheerfully replied the young mnn at the desk. "I can take any kind of news. W hnt hnve you got?"

“Why. It’s just this way,” said the caller, lowering his voice. "My wife gifce a p a r ty last night. I t was a bril­liant uffnlr, and I am willing to pay to have this report of It put in the pnper."

"W e don't clinrge anything for pub­lishing society news," explained the clerk, nt the same time taking the proffered m anuscrip t and looking It over.

“T hat 's all right," wns the reply. “You don’t get me. I wrote this up myself, and 1 put in a line that says. ‘Mr. Halfback assisted Ills d ist in­guished wife In receiving the guests.’ T h n t’s tho way I want It to go In. nndH don't care what the cost Is, abso­lutely don’t care whnt the cost Is. I w an t my friends to know, by George, th a t I still belong to the family.”— Llpplneott 's Magazine.

Even the Biggest Men of Affairs-Ar­range Their Business on Puqqtfl-

ality as Safs Quids.

A young Kentuckian lost a b ig ’ fo r­tune by being 20 minutes lute in keep­ing u business engagement, according to the Chrlstan Herald.

The cheerless old fellow with the scythe alwuys gets nil tha t is coming to him. And there Is many a had scar on our fortunes where he has hud to prod us up to the murk.

Time Is cheap and we are ap t tc think we can filch it as we will. But It Is always ourselves we rob, not time.

Maybe you can waste your own time by being la te In keeping engagements nnd feel th a t the loss. If any. Is your own uffuir. But it ulso is the affair of (lie man you keep waiting. You waste his time. too. If your time Is worth­less, maybe his Is not. He may con­clude th a t his time is worth more to him than you are.

In many cases it m ay not m atte r much. But one never knows until a f­terward w hether It m a tte rs or not. Aii4 through fulse politeness we nre usually ussured that It does not m ut­te r even when It <h>es.

Only the idle nnd careless, whose time Is of the least value, can afford to waste It by looseness la keeping en­gagements.

It may he hard to ncquire the fixed habit of a lways being on time, but It can he done, and It is worth while todo it.

Great buslneSs men hnve this habit Men of g rea t affairs, whose tim e is- iiinst completely taken up. a re usually on time. It is they who know best tin value of time and the im portance of saving It by being prompt.

I Do Big Jobs First.The more you ponder difficulties the

ha rde r they seem. So the thing Is to get them off the s late ns soon as possi­ble. You get them off by going a f te r them. Ju s t cast up the work of the day. Estim ate the toll in each prob­lem. Tackle the hardes t one before you nre tired. That may not be ac­cording to precedent, but It’s according to good generalship. As soon as you get th a t off the list tackle the next thing In Importance. Keep the work

I going nnd you’re bound to win vic­tories over self nnd the Job you face. Soon there won’t he any renl problems

1 to annoy you. I t will ju s t tie a m ntter | of attack ing things In the best order, j You have gone a long way toward

mastery when you have learned to do bic things first.—Grit.

Oil the Skin Also.In describing the means by which

the HnwnlUins. before contact with civilized peoples brouKht about the deterioration of this splendid race, kept their skins In healthy condition, V. MacOlnuRhey says In the Scientific Monthly thnt they not only bathed dally In tho son nnd In fresh water, holt oiled the ir bodies with coconut oil.

Commenting on this la t te r practice, the Jou rna l of the American Medical Association soys the effectiveness of bathing Is well recognized today, “hut we fall to realize the unquestionable merit In the Injunctions with oil tha t undoubtedly confer a suppleness and pliancy to the skin quite contrary to the ex trem e determent action of the w ate r hath. It Is not w i th o u t hygienic significance thnt the skin Is normally lubricated by n suhneeous secretion which the hath tends to remove, often to n degree no longer compatible with a perfect epidermis.”

Tem peram ental Mountain Canary Not Blamed for Planting Hoof* In Back

of Her O n l y Friend.

Thinking the m imnl inntle n mistake to not knowing whom she was kicking or It was his fault heeau.se he forgot to give her the usual chew of tobacco. Fred Wules of t l ra ss Vulley, Cal., who carried his unn in a sling for some time us the result of a kick from Brs- sle, excuses his par tne r of fourteen years for Injuring him.

The mule Is known to every em­ployee of the mine, 4.50 in all. and while there is no affection for her among 4411 of them, they all have n wholesome respect for her in spite of her contrary disposition. It is a mine classic tha t she kicks the airpipe two faet above her for exercise.

With Fred Wales, however, it is dif- fere nt. He lias worked with Bessie fOr fourteen years and lias become a t ­tached to tile animal. He excuses her vagaries as an indulgent motjier con­dones tlie actions of a spoiled child.

II is merely a m a tte r of tem pera­ment. he says, and the o the r men do ■Ot understand liar. His faith was atnikcit temporarily, but not for long.

In the physician's office he took of­fense at a suggestion tha t the mule atnudd be killed on account of her vlciousness nnd rushed to her defense.

"It was perhaps my fau l t ; It ce r ta in­ly was not hers. Bessie e i ther did not know who It was when site kicked or I had forgotten to give her the usual

*w of tobacco. 1 am willing to take •11 the blame."

If Paris Women Wore Too Large a Neck Piece O ther Women Forcibly

Removed Them.

In Paris, a t one time, the people dropped their extravagance, and “ if a womatl ventured to w ear too large a collar, the o ther women would pull it off." Henry VIII—as he did with everything lie set his mind to—inter­fered with the dress of his subjects to some purpose and brought forward an net against wearing costly apparel.

A few years la te r the law becalm more stringent still. Philip and Mary compelled a t ten tion not only by lines hut went so far as to send offenders li prison. Elizabeth saw that the peo ) le were reckless with the ir money : mi caused an act to be passed wltiylt rcc lared that anyone who sold foreign apparel to persons having hues than

'..000 a year in land or fees, except l -r ready money, should forfeit every penny of the price.

Ladies wore hoods, tints and caps of everv conceivable shape. Tliev were careful as to the ir hair, and they had a line assortment of v\igs at hand. Eliz­abe th herself sometimes wore red hair, and then reverted to black for a change, it so happened tha t trade in tile cap line fell off considerably be- cuusc caps went out of fashion.

Was Equal to the Emergency.It was in a Sunday school on the

Blast side of New York th a t a new in­te rp re ta t ion of Moses’ flight from Egypt into the Promiser] Land was given. Tile exponent of the old, old Btory hnd told of Moses' leadership and of the a t tem p t of the Egyptians to w rest back their slaves from the fast- tnoving Moses. "But w asn 't It wrong f o r him to tnke away the Israelites from the Egyptians,” asked one little fellow, “when they wuz under contract

|to work for them ?” The speaker anw fce must temporize. T h is was a cora-

imonlty where unions thrived, and the '•acredness of oDe’a bond mustn't be 'attacked. “Oh, that was all right," he explained. “Moses gave them a check so the bank of the Red sea.”

,v Most Popular War Cry.The most popular war cry is “Hur

’rah I” an exclamation of Indefinite origin. It Is found In various forms lo wwedlsh and Danish (hurra), German

irrah), French (houra), Russian ■a). Some connect It with such rds aa “hurry," “w h i r l t h e mean­

ing would then be “haste/* to eneour- iage speed or onset In batUe. The ttnsslan soldiers adopted “hurrah” In khe War of Liberation (1812-13), and ififuc* then It has become a favorite fktttle cry all over Europe. It seems, however, that the word is pure 81a- wonlan, for It la commonly heard from Via coast of Dalmatia to Behring strait, Mfliere any of the Slavic population krttliln the limits ara called on to give proof of courage and valor.

Philosopher Regards Passing Away as Only N atura l and Good— Fears

the Unnatural.

They were* discussing death, a l i t t le group of men, all of them in the best of heulth and the glory of liviug. Men of the world, in a sense, and enjoying life to its utmost, the subject of dea th Otis introduced by the announcem ent that u widely known m an with whom all of them had been acquainted had passed away.

One of the party , according to the Columbus (O.) Dispatch, said he hated !•> think of death, that he was actually a fra id to think of it. l i e so loved life tha t death seemed a terr ib le enemy, and he would like to escape it. But the philosopher of the p a r ty —only he was not known ns a philosopher until lie delivered his little p reuchm eut— said lie could not unders tand such an a t t i tu d e toward death.

"I am not a f ra id of anything tha t is na tu ra l ,” he said. "It is the unuaturu l tha t a larm s me. It would be unuaturul to live forever, and I would hate to be sentenced to such u punishment. But dea th is natura l ; I am uot a f ra id of it. Billions of people have d ie d ; they are dying every day. L itt le children have died and old men and women, and the birds und beasts nil pass away, nnd the lishes in the streams, nnd every living tiling upon the eurth Is to die. Why, then, should n grent hulk of a chap like myself, one who bus bad and is having his time, why should I fear death?"

Not a fra id of tha t which Is na tu ra l? If only all of us could understand that the natura l is good and tlie unnatural bad, what a splendid world it would lie for everything und everybody.

An- -n t Bird, the Pterodactyl, HadTwenty-Five Fast Wings, Weighed

About Twenty-Five Pounds.

Whence do the angels derive the ir wings—the angels, tha t Is to say, of pain ting nnd sculptural a r t? From what source is the accepted model for these appendages derived?

It Is ra th e r difficult to say, accord­ing to the Philadelphia Public Ledger. But apparen tly the wings convention­ally worn by angels a re those of the albatross. At all events, nlbntross wings correspond most nearly to the patterns .

Tlie nlbntross weighs nbout 18 pounds nnd hns a wing spread of 1 1 1 4 feet. Eneh of Its wings has an nren of s. ven square feet. W ith n wing spread proportionate to size, an angel as well equipped for flight ns the albatross our l i t to he able to fly very well.

The t rum pe te r swan, which Is fhe gn - test weight-carrier of all long-dls- tnnoe flyers, would be at a d isadvan­tage as compared with an angel. It weighs 28 pounds and has a wing spr< ad of only eight feet.

But no angel o r modern bird could cog-pare as a flyer with the ptero- <!;<■:>! of 6.000,000 yea rs or so ago, v It a it, weighing perhaps 25 pounds, hnd a wing spread of 25 feet. I ts bones were almost paperlike and Its hot'- hardly more th a n an appendage to ' • s wings. With a head th a t was p> ipnlly a daggerlike beak, and a p' h like th a t of a pelican, it flut- t I mothlike (looking for fish) along tiie shores of the Cretaceous sea thn t ext - tided northw ard from the p resen t Gulf of Mexico to and over Kansas.

HAPPINESS INDUCES OLD AGE

In old age there Is no more worry nbout the babies, no more suffering for others. The children are grown up, and, if h e r par t hns been well done, they are a prop and a solace to her. Grandchildren are a delight w ithout the hitter, constant worry.

T he woman grown old in years should be at her best menially. She is free to Indulge her tastes, enjoy a good book and the conversation of genial ntlnds.

Women re ta in the ir vitality nnd sp ir ­its longer than men do. The burdens of life fall from them gradually, and the pence of retirem ent from active du ­ties comes upon them lit tle by little nnd almost Imperceptibly.

Many Great Men Dl* Young.The question Is often asked, what Is

meant by “the prime of life." It la difficult to aay; people differ so much. Most great men have died comparative­ly young. Alexander the Great died at thirty-two, having conquered practical­ly the whole world of hla day; JuUus Caesar was dead at flfty-flve. Napole­on died at fifty-two. Oliver Cromwell at flfty-nlne, Shakespeare at fifty-two, Charles Dickens at fifty-eight. Nearly all the men who made the French Rev­olution were dead before they were fifty; many of them before they were forty. Robespierre was only thirty-six when he died, Deamcnllns thirty-four, Danton thirty-five, and Mira beau for­ty-two.

WHY NEGROES ARE RELIGIOUS

8olace W as Found in the Gospel B rought to Them by M issionaries

o r T su g h t by M asters.

The negro sought a channel fo r a rtis t ic solace, into which he could

t throw the symbolism o f his racia l long­ing. H e found it In the relig ion brought to him by m issionaries or taught him by h is musters. Here he wns free to dreuin his dreams and create his visions o f future happi­ness, fo r no master could punish him fo r pra ising God. Thus lie "found re­lig ion,” and in re lig ion he found no mood o f his simple soul unnourlshed.

It Is. then, not so hard to under­stand why the negro's folksong Is, in Its superficia l form, so predom inantly religious. The "sp ir itu a ls" o f the cnmp

They Include live ly dnnces, h itte r laments, paeans of Joy und mnjestlc, orgaullke anthems. In the Itlb le stories which are retold in bnllud form in some of the sp iritua ls the negro found expres­sion fo r Ids buoyant, genial humor. Nearly a ll the fam ilia r moods o f folk- aong, from the gayest to the most pro­found ly tragic, ure to be found under the relig ious veil which perm itted the slave to live his own varied emotional life w ithout Interference from his mas­ter.— New Republic.

By entering Into society he agrees to an arbiter or Indifferent Judge between him and his neighbors; but he no more renounces his original right than by taking a cause out of the ordlnnry course of law, and leaving the decision to ref­erees or Indifferent arbitrators. In the last case he must pay the referees for time and trouble. He should also be willing to pay his just quota for the support of government, the law and the Constitution.—Samuel Adams.

AN EYE-OPENER FOR DIETIST

Woefully Discouraged When He Beet Array of "Eats” Consumed In

“One-Arm” Lunch.

The man who reads all the good ’ health stories tn the magazines and re­

gards h im se lf as un adept amateur d letlst ate lunch recently In a “ one- arm hash house” downtown, says the Ind ianapolis News. U sua lly he eats at home, and the experience wns a novel adventure fo r him.

Nearby, filling h is own cha ir and encroaching on the arm o f the chulr next him, sat a big man, hale und hearty , consum ing a piece of apple pie,

’> |UU ‘ce doughnuts and a big eut o f cake.^ Jppos lte , gallop ing through n cut of

roast beef, mashed potatoes, a cheese sandw ich and stewed prunes, was a young fe llow , n bookkeeper’s stoop hunching h is shoulders nth.’ * i \ Indoor p a llo r Rprend over his face.

T a ll, bony and npcetlc, the man In the long, b lack coat dabbled in a bowl o f ch icken broth und a plute of wafers, w h ile the plump lit t le stenographer at h is elbow ate u plute o f beans and a French pastry w ith relish. The capable office manager o f a woman’s employ­ment bureau, who sat near the door, was care fu lly mnstlcntlng boiled hom­iny. a chicken sandwich, a lettuce snlad and a dish o f fresh fru it while con­versing-on office management w ith the Vice president o f an insurance com­pany who wns getting awny w ith raw oysters, sausnge nnd sauerkraut and strong b lack coffee.

F in ish ing his most carefu lly select­ed lunch, the nmnteur dletlst le ft the lunchroom w ith n baffled expression, paused on the curb, shook h im self to­gether nnd muttered to h im self:

“ W e ll, I 'll be Jiggered! Irv ing Cobb ■ ure said something when he wrote, •Whnt is the moral o f it u ll? You can search m e !’ "

Learn to Listen.Men like the girl who can chatter,

hut they love the girl who can, listen. There are so few of us who learn this in early youth. But as we get older we realize that people In general would rather talk to a good listener than to be entertained by the most brilliant conversationalist In the world.

Monkeys Love For Yoaag

, Monkeys are bora In almost as help­less a condition as are human beings. Fo r the first fortn ight after b irth they pass their time In being nursed, In sleeping and In looking about them. During the whole of this time the care nnd attention o f the mother are most exemplary. The slightest sound or movement excites her Immediate no­tice, and, w ith her baby In her arms, she sk illfu lly evades any approaching dnnger by the most adroit maneuvers.

A t the end of the first fortn ight the little one begins to got about by itself, but always under its mother’s watch­ful enre. Sin? frequently nttempts to tench It to do fo r Itself, hut never fo r­gets her solicitude fo r its sufety, nnd nt the earliest intim ntion of dnnger seizes It in her arms nnd seeks n plnee o f refuge. When about six weeks old the bnby begins to need more substan­tia l nourishment tlinn m ilk nnd Is tnught to provide fo r Itself. The moth­er's fondness fo r her offspring con­tinues ; she devotes n il her time ‘ o Its comfort nnd education, nnd. should It meet w ith nn untimely end. her grief Is so intense ns frequently to enuse her own death.

Ancient English Tree.There grows In the beautifu l garden

of the dowager counties o f Derby, in England, nn ancient nnk tree which is said to lie tlte oldest one in England.

T lie size o f the trunk o f this vener­able onk testifies to its antiquity, hut on a stone sent by its side i.s more d i­rect evidence. The seat hears a tablet recording that W ilberforce w rote in Ids diary in 17 8̂ that he well remem­bered. a fte r n conversation w ith Pitt, and before descending into the Va le of Keston. sitting nt the foot o f “nn old tree” and resolving to give notice In the: house of commons that tie would move the abolition o f the slave trade.

T lie tree in question, wltieh was therefore a good nge 130 years ago. Is carefu lly preserved w ith zine plates where tlie damp might gather, nnd the branches nre held up w ith iron hnrs. but it hears n goodly crop of leaves, and seems good for many years o f life.

NONE NEEDED HIS PRAYERS

A fte r T ain ted Money W arning Colored P as to r Expresses Satisfaction

W ith P u rity of the Flock.

T h e collections had fallen o!T badly In the colored church and the pastor made a short address before the box waa passed.

“ Ah don’t want any man to give more dan his share, hreddren,” he said, gently, "hut we mus' all gib ercnrdln’ •to what we rightly hob. Ah snv rightly hab, hreddren, because we don’t want no tainted money In de box. Squire Jones tole me dat he done miss some chickens dls week. Now ef any oh our hreddren hnb fa llen by de wayside In connection w ld dose chickens, let him stay h is hnnd from dat box.

“ Deacon Smith, plense pass de box an’ A ll 'l l watch de signs an' see Here’s anyone in dls congregation dnt needs me ter w rastle in prayer fer him.”

The effect o f th is brie f discourse was Instantaneous und remarkable. Throughout the congregation loud whispers of "L e n ’ me a qun’tah,” "Let me hnb ha lf a dollar," “G ib me a n ickel 't il m awnln ’.” were heard. Ap­parently everyone put something In the box.

The Rev. Sam Smnll Smith surveyed the coins w ith a satisfied sm ile ns he remnrked:

“ A ll done tole Squire Jones dat none oh my lambs wns gu ilty of sech dia­bolica l eccentricity.”

Drum Major Necessary.Indlspeusuble is the drum major of

a ru ra l brass bund, and the envy o f the small boy Is he ns well. T h is func­tionary Is about us serviceable as a figurehead on a battleship, w rites Zln» In Cartoons Magazine, yet h is duties are beyond estimation in keeping the tubus und trombones from stumbling Into mud puddles and guiding the al­leged musicians past refreshment em­poriums. H is success rests on the ex­tent o f his ab ility to tw ir l the stick over three-story build ings and catch It behind ids back on its descent. H e Is to the band what the monkey Is to a hand-organ. A l l eyes nre upon him w liile the ears feast on the music. B ig c ity bands often roam about the streets unescorted by a drum major and feel not ut u ll discommoded by his ubsence,I>iir a country band would not deem Itself fit to he seen on pnrade w ithout this d istinguished appendage.

French Drapery.The French ure pastmasters In the

art of draping fabrics. A Pnrisienne has tru th fu lly said that French taste ts d istinctly fem inine anil ns clear as ' tlie G a llic language itself, says an ex­change. It possesses the genius of curves, the si-eret o f what is graceful and the intu ition o f whnt brines about harmony. These characteristics are all to lie foiiai! in French art. French industries nnd French creations.

It Is in France thnt we find the work o f the most sk ilfid hands, the most artistic jewelry, the richest clothes nnd ihe most beautifu l hats. In foreign coin; ries tin* Idea of ugliness or had to<u is never associated w ith the women of France.

On F ind ing Fault.It Is much easier to pick fau lt w ith

others than to he correct yourself. It , Is better to be forbearing. No one I likes others to be exacting o f him | about every litt le m istake or folly. Be | not so to others.. Be ready to overlook 6inall things, to make allowances. Be­cause you can do th is or that or live j so or so, it Is not to be expected thnt ■ everyone can do or he the same. J Though you mny th ink your way the best, someone else may have Just ns j good ideas— or better. Who made you ' Judge, thnt you can make laws for a ll? ; Do you want to toe tlie mark o f an­other’s making? I f not, do not expect others to come up to your line. L ive your own life the best you can. and. w hile you try to help, leave tlie lives o f others to their Creator for Judg­ment. A habit of d ictating grows on one. It Is better to watch out and stop yourse lf before you begin. If it Is part of yonr business to direct others, do In tlie right sp irit, w ith a respect to their rights and your own ■ -elf-respect. Nagging is be littling to yourse lf nnd does harm, not good. It improves or reforms no one. A habit o f finding fau lt renders one disagreeable. Make critic ism s nnd suggestions w ith great care. Seek whnt you cun commend and emphasize thnt.— M ilwaukee Jou r­nal.

Icelanders as Emigrants.It Is claimed for the Icelandic set­

tlers that they have played uo small part In the progress and prosperity of the province o f Manitoba, Cunudu, and it Is asserted thnt tlie story o f the fo r­eign population o f W inn ipeg must nec­essarily begin w ith the Icelander. He hns set the pace fo r a ll the incom ing races.

Little, Out of the Way Hamlet in Switzerland Preaervea Air of

The town clusters in a tiny compact group o f houses around the site of the old castle, as is the way o f towns that were bu ilt In the duy when castles were used fo r protection, nnd not to exort two fruuc tips from the visitor. The streets o f Gruyeres are narrow und sh o rt; they run at unexpected an­gles and end in litt le squares and t r i ­angles. where du lly markets are held. In one o f these squares there Is an an­cient stone carved into hollows o f va­rious sizes. At the bottom o f each hollow Is a stone plug. T h is stone la the time hallowed v illage measure fo r griiiu and dry produce o f a ll kinds.

On Find ing Fault.It Is much easier to p ick fault with

rers than to be correct yourself. It better to be forbearing. No one like* others to be exacting of lilm

about tvery little mistake or folly. Be ■not so to others. Be ready to overlook small things, ta make allowances. Be­cause you can do this or that or live •so or so, It la not to be expected that everyone can do or be the same. Though you may think your way the best, someone else may have Just as good Ideas—or better. Who made you Judge, that you can make laws for all? Do you want to toe the mark of an­other's making? If not, do not expect others to come up to your line. Live your own life the best you can, and,

i while you try to help, leave the lives of others to their Creator for Judg­ment. A habit of dictating grows on one. It Is better to watch out and stop yourself before you hegtn. If It la part of your business to direct others, do so In the right spirit, with a respect ;o ithelr rights nnd your own self-rosi t. gagging Is belittling to yourself nnd 4oes harm, not good. It Improves or reforms no oae. A habit of finding fau lt renders one disagreeable. Make criticisms nnd suggestions with great care. 8eek what you can commend and emphasize that.—Milwaukee Jour­nal.

Use No Cutlery, Grabbing Food Out of a Common Kettle—Presented

With a Spoon.

A fte r in terv iew ing me for half an hour tlie old ch ief led rue to the feast, says E d uu rd S. O ’Ke llly , describ ing u visit to the igorrotes In the W orld O ut­look. Txyo huge Iron kettles were sim ­mering on the tire. One was tilled w ith rice and the other had a kind o f Irish stow.

I.ike a ll F ilip inos, the Igorrot euts w ith his hands, hut i fished a tin spoou out o f iny saddle pockets nnd gavo them n lesson in table limuners. They ■■ iitehed every bite I took w ith ninnze- iti'Til. A fte r the meal was linislied. tlie •-I'oon was pushed around and ca re fu lly inspected. Seeing that 1 1 1" old ch ie f v. as greatly interested il l th is new-fun- g!"d instn im ent. ! presented it to him in a n< at after-dinner spe c li.

l ie accepted it w ith delight. Hav ing no pockets, lie stuck the spoon through a hole in l:;s ear, where he wore it w ith u jaunt.. pride.

Then came the dancing. H ou r a fte r hour tln-y kept it up, beating ll ie ir tom­toms and litt le brass kettles and c ir ­c ling about tlit- lire. They danced In i rdi-i'c'l (■ ri.iation, going through evo­lutions ti .ii would have dent* credit to n Broadway chorus. In the shadow o f the Ini's 1 could see the women, stand­ing " i ’ li anas outstretched, chanting in sail in. i monotone and swaying to llie idm lin i.

Pidgin English.The w orld pidgin, or pidgeon. as

connected w ith English, is a Ch ina­man's poor attempt to proim nice the word business. B rew er gives it— busi­ness, bldginess, bidgen and pigeon. Idgeon English, therefore, means busi­ness in English. It is a strange ad­m ixture of English, Chinese and P o r­tuguese, and Is used In ull it s o f the far east as a means of uuunl- catlon between the native- nd the foreigners.

eaiflfl One's sen .We owe It to mankind to give our­

selves as we are to earth’s aggregate of attainment and experience. We are Indeed to raise ourselves to our Nth power of existence nnd achievement, but th a t highest power must still be our own, individually expressed. Even though our best be poorer than eome one else’a indifferent medium, It will be a thousand times better for us and for all, tha t humanity get each unde­rived nnd Incommunicable self ra ther than that It receive an Imperfect and disappointing duplicate of another. And let us remember, also, both for our comfort nnd our Inspiration, thnt be who gives his utmost Is nt the Inst analysis rendering a greater service Minn he who, though seemingly be­stowing much, gives but a fraction of ids possible being nnd doing to his ■■How men.—Philip Burroughs Strong.

World’s Greatest Weavers.The ancient Indians of Peru a re now

regarded as the world's greatest w ear­ers. This noteworthy revelation In the history of textile a r t is the result of the critical examination of many rich nnd beautiful tapestries and other fab­rics executed by the gifted ancient In­dian population of Peru. Though buried three centuries or more In the Bandy desert af ter being made with primitive handlooms and other weav­ing implements, these wonderful fab­rics are now found to be superior to those turned out by the automatic looms of the great mills of today. The primitive Peruvian handloora consisted of two sticks, one a t the top and one nt the bottom.
