Two boys had sat down together to
work out some problems in algebra
One Of them had been busy with his
pencil q, full minute when he noticed
his companion sitting with folded arms
and knitted brows.
What is the matterr' he exclaimed
"Why don't you beginT
I'm finding out how to begin," re-
turned the other, quietly, and he went
On thinking. The nrst speaker covered
4 page Of foolscap with figures, found
himself in a labyrinth from which
there seemed no escape, and looking
back over the statement Of the prob
lem, discovered a mistake in his nrst
equation. Long before this, however,
his companion had worked the problem
through and reached the correct result.
He had not wasted time because he
had looked at all sides Of the question
before he began
A great many Of our young folks
overestimate the Importance Of haste.
They carry too heavy work In school
in order that they may graduate
year earlier. They skim through their
library books that they may return
them and take out others. They settle
important questions on the impulse OF
the moment, because they have not
learned that there Is real economy In
taking time to see all sides before max
ing a decision.
Now and then We meet people who
toss up a penny to save themselves
the trouble Of making up their minds.
But even this is hardly more fooilsh
than it Is to follow blindly the first
impulse that comes into our heads. To
act without stopping TO think Is the
poorest economy In the world. Nobody
wastes time 20 hopelessly as the person
who decides without deliberation, who,
because of this wrong beginning, fol-
lows the wrong path, and finally Is
forced to retrace his steps and start
again. A little hard thinking before
we begin to act would save US not only
much precious time but many a heart
ache as well.-Christian Common

COULD NOT SQUARE HIMSELF.

His Excuse for Being Out Late Con.
WINGED His Wife He Was Lying.
The little hours had crawled up to the
comb of the roof of night and fallen
over until three Of them were rolled
down the far side toward the caves OF
morning, when solitary footman
might have been seen slipping into his
house with his shoes In his hand. How
needless, oh. how needless are OFTEN
times the devices Of man. How nuga-
tory and void are oftentimes his most
painstaking efforts.
His wife was wide awake and wait
ing for him when he entered the sane
titled seclusion of their apartment.
Il was so afraid Of waking you,
dear" he stammered as he let the
shoes fall from his nerveless grasp to
the floor with a couple Of dull thuds 80
close together they seemed as one.
She asked him in a stone cold voice
where he had been to be getting in at
that time of night. He thanked heaven
for an opportunity to explain and he
told her a narrowing tale Of business
and delayed trains and telephones out
Of order and telegraph wires down
and no messengers that would have
moved a heart of marble. She never
said word as she looked straight at
him.
DO you doubt me?' he said. as If in
dignant at the implied suspicion Of her
silence, and then pleadingly: do you
doubt me? Oh, Mary, how can you?"
Her face softened and the ixity of
her eyes relaxed.
No, William" she responded almost
gently. mo, l do not doubt you. At
first there might have been some doubt
in my mind, but now, thank heaven,
there Is none. Not a shadow, William.
and I'm as sure that you are lying as
that you are standing before me-"
Then william bowed his head In
shame and turned up the gas-at her
request-so she could get a better look
at him.-Washingto Star.

Sun Worship.

The most complete system Of sun
worship that we have any account of
was that existing in Peru when discov-
cred by the Spaniards in 1926. The
Incas, as the Peruvian monarchs were
called, claimed to be children Of the
sun and his representatives on earth.
Their government was despOtic theOc-
racy. of which the Inca was both high
priest and king. In Cuzco, the capital
stood a splendid temple to the sun, in
which all the implements were Of solid
gold. on the west end of the interior
was a representation of the suns disk,
and rays in the same precious metal
so placed that the rising sun. shining in
at the open east end. fell full upon the
image and was reflected with dazzling
splendor. In the plaza or square of
the temple great annual festival was
held at the summer solstice. The null
titude assembled from all parts Of the
empire, and presided over by the Inca
hwaited in breathless solemnity the
sirst rays of their deity to strike the
golden image in the temple when they
all prostrated themselves in alteration.
Sacrifices, similar to those of the Jews,
were offered on the occasion. and bread
md wine were partaken Of in a manner
tstrikingly resembling the Christian sac
rament The moon as the spouse Of
the sun, the planet Venus as hip page,
the Pleiades, and the remarkable con-
ktellation of the Southern Gross, were
minor deities.- The rainbow and light
ming were also worshipped as servAnts
