FROM THE MAGAZINES.



To be an observer, says John Burroughs
in the course of an article on 1.-The Art of
Seeing Things in the December Century.
is to see more than the particular thing
you are looking for and expecting to see.
We may see coarsely and vaguely, as
most people do, noting only masses and
unusual appearances, or we may see finely
and DISCRIMINATORY, taking in the minute
and the specific. In a collection of stuffed
birds, the other day, l observed that
wood thrush was mounted as in the act of
song, las open beak pointing straight to
the zenith. The taxidermist had not seen
truly. The thrush sings with it's beak but
slightly elevated. Who has not seen red
squirrel or a gray squirrel running up and
down the trunk of a tree? But probably
very few have noticed that the position of
the hind feet is the reverse in the one case
from what 1t is in the other. In de-
scending they are extended to the rear,
the toe-nals hooking to the bark, check
ing and controlling the fab. In most pic
lures the feet are shown we'll drawn I'D
under the body in both cases.
People who discourse pleasantly and ao-
curately about the birds and flowers and
external nature generally are not therefore
good observers. In their walks do they see
anything they did not come out to see? Is
there any spontaneous or unprecedented
seeing? Do they make discoveries? Any
bird or creature may be hunted down, any
nest discovered If you lay siege to 1t; but
TO find what you are not looking for to
catch 4he shy winks and gestures on
every side, to see all the by-play going on
around you, missing no significant note
or movement, penetrating every screen
with your eyebeams-that is to be an OBJ
server-that is to have IAN eye practiced
like blind mans touch"-a touch that can
distinguish a white horse from biack-a
detective eye that reads the faintest signs
When Thoreau was at Cape Cod he noticed
that the horses there had a certain muscle
in their hips inordinately developed by
reason of the Insecure footing in the ever
yielding sand. Thoreau's vision at times
fitted things closely During some great
fete in Paris, the Empress Eugenie and
Queen Victoria were both present. A re-
porter noticed that when the royal per-
sonages came TO sit down Eugene looked
behind her before doing so, to see that the
chair was really there, but Victoria seated
herself without the backward glance,
knowing there must be a seat ready for
her there always had been and there al
ways would be. The corTesDondent In
ferred that the incident showed the differ
ence between born royalty and hastily
made royalty. I wonder how many per-
sons in that vast assembly made this OBJ
servation probably very few. 1t denoted
a gift for seeing things.
If our powers of observation were quick
and sure enough, no doubt we should see
through most of the tricks of the slight
of-hand man. He fools us because his hand
is more deXterous than our eye. lie cap
lures our attention, and then commands
us to see only what he wishes us to see.

QuaIity OF Our JeweIry.

The average quality of the god jewel
lery worn has, in one sense, materially
and steadily dropped for many years, says
Self Culture. Where, twenty-five years
years ago, fourteen karat metal was con-
sidered poor enough, the same line is now
drawn at ten karats The great quanti-
ties of goods of even lower quality that,
placed on the market, find a ready sale as
substitutes for better goods, make it a
matter Of extreme doubt If The average of
quality used will even reach the standard
of ten karats fine. The inpunly with
which ten-karat gold is stamped as of
fourteen-karat quality, and the reckless
manner in which all sorts of mis- eading
stamps are used upon brass, plated, and
low grade gold goods, where it but half
understood by the general public thus
abused. would speedily secure by legisla-
ton the national stamping laws that GER
tainly are badly needed.

THAT OJIBWAY BIBLE.
Bishop WhipDIe of Minnesota Tells
About Its Publisher.


Maitland, Fla, Nov SO.-Bishop II. B.
Whipple and wife have arrived at their
elegant winter residence, and the usual
union service for Thanksgiving day will.
therefore, be held at the Church of the
Good Shepherd tomorrow, the Bishop Of
ficiatinz.
On his way here from Faribault, MINI.
his summer home, the Bishop stopped over
in Nashville to represent the Peabody
Educational FUND Board of Trustees (of
which he is acting chairman during Chair
man Evarts ihness) in a joint meeting of
committees to arrange some matters in
regard to the joint control of che Peabody
Normal College in that city, supported by
this fund.
Your correspondent Is pretty well posted
on Bibles, ancient and modern, but he had
never heard OF the Ojibway Bible, men,
toned in the Morning News a few days
ago, said to have been printed on the mis-
sion press at Lake Pokegama, in Pine
county, Minnesota, in 1896 So he con-
suited Bishop Whipple about it, who has
been the Bishop of Minnesota for over
forty years.
In regard to that Bible" said Bishop
Whlpple, Il have heard OF it. but never
saw a copy. AS 10 Rev. Frederick Aver,
VIM heu tHdiSt O1 the mission farm, ana
Is said to have superintendent the printing
Of the Bible, / do know a good deal. He
was clerk In my fathers store at Ath-
ems, in Jefferson county, New York, in
1925, or very near that date, and was a
very pious, studous young man. A few
years later he became a Pres byterlan or
Congregational missionary. and labored in
Minnesota, as stated In the item about the
Bible, but his missions were finally aban-
doned."
While in Nashville. on Sunday the B.sh-
op preached at Christ Church, and next
day the Nashville American published his
picture as that of THE Famous Indian
Missionary" and said of him: HE has
been Bishop for forty years but time
has dealt gently with him and he is still
hale and robust, and creates instantly the
Impression that he Is not hard worker"
This Is a remarkable statement to make
of a man who yearly does more work
than any three bishops of any deuomina-
tion in America. On his arrival here
Monday a bushel of mail awaited his at
tention. Early in the spring he crossed
the stormy ocean to London's chilling. eli
mate and participated in the Centennial
Missionary meetings. He had presided
OYER two Protestant Episcopal gather
ings in this country during the summer,
and also over the Peabody Educational
Fund Trustees meetings Then he has
celebrated his forieth year as Bishop. and
visited his Indian mission stations in
Minnesota, at one of which he dedicated
new church building. Here in his Matt
land winter home he breaches every Sun
day and on special occasions. and for all
this work, with few exceptions he re-
ceives no pay. There is no harder work
er anywhere. nor one who gets less pay
for his work

people, the largest crowd that ever gath

The social element was largely represent

Plato, an outsider, won the steeplechase.
The favorite, Phoebus, fell at the club
house bank, and Tentore at the second
turn of the field. Bowel assumed ihe lead
after Tentore fell. but Plato came strong
in the stretch, and won handily by four
lengths. Many of the knowing ones were
suspicious of the falling of Phoebus and
Tentore, and Dayton, the jockey on the
Latter horse, was suspended.
Some criticism was INDUCED, also of

An Automobile Saves a Cow.

All Paris has been laughing at a comical
occurrence in which the well known Bor-
deaux automobiles, M. Lanneluc-S Samson,
took a leading part, says the Automobile
Magazine. He might well have fancied
himself Don Quixote and his automobile
a fin-de-siecle Rosinante, calamity coming
to the rescue of a fair dame fallen into
great danger. On his way back from a
service of twenty-eight days as chauffeur
to the commanding general of the Eigh-
tenth Army Corps, he reached the village
of Merignas, in Gironde, at nightfall.
There he found the whole place in commo-
ton. Inquiring as to the cause of the ex-
element he learned that COW had fallen
into a we'll. Repairing to the spot he found
a crowd of peasants at their wits ends,
vainly trying to hoist the COW out with
rope But the COW was heavy, and the
poor creature beloved and groaned in
vain. A brilliant inspiration seized M.
Lannelus-Sanson. He attached her halter
rope 40 his auto, mounted his. machine and
started ahead. The rope grew taut, and
under the weight at the other end the au-
tomobile almost came to a stop. But
gradually 1t went ahead, coughing might
" with the exertion. A great shout of
Joy from the assembled peasants. The
cow s head came peering above the rim
of the well, and she was landed securely
on fha surface.
