Apropos of prefaces-something that
few care to praise-Mr. Kipling gives
the following good advice. given when
he was asked to write a preface:
"Some rather interesting experiences
have taught me that the best way of
making a man hate me for life Is to
meddle in any way with his work.
If the book is good, 1t will go,
and If not, nothing will make it stir.
All the men who want to stick
a knife into me would stick 1t into
you as soon as they saw my name pre-
facing your book Bitter experience has
taught that that kind of thing doesn't
pay. If a book stands by itself. it
will stand by itself; but If you use an
other chaps name to help it to start.
you will get all the whacks that the
other chap would have got if he had
written the book, in addition to a few
whacks on your own merits"

AT THE END OF 1000 A. D.


What One Writer Predicts Will Hap
pen Century Hence.
The twentieth century is to be the
century of change; science, which is
going at the trot, will then go at the
gallop, says writer in London Truth.
We think we know much; those who
will live 100 years hence will wonder
we knew so little.
The following is prematurely quoted
from the Daily Cinematograph of Dec.
81, 1000:
"On the eve of the twenty-first CEN
tury it will be in the minds of many to
contrast the present with the past. All
are aware that gigantic strides have
been made recently in the direction of
progress, but few realize that only a
hundred years ago men travelled in
trains over the land and in ships over
the water; that they communicated
with each other by telegraph; that their
streets and houses were lit with gas or
with an early adaptation of electricity:
that coal was used in almost eyery
household; that hundred of millions
were spent in taking instead of in saw
ing life; that the soldier was more
honored than the surgeon; that well
dressed women wore furs in the day
while the sun was shining and half
stripped themselves in the evening and
that it was not generally acknowledged
that one of the most important of du-
ties is to enjoy the legitimate pleasures
of this exquisitely designed world!
'Only century ago selfshness and
superstition still bound our predeces-
sors, but science has removed these
bonds from US. AS we walk in the
silent streets and look upon the smoke
less sky. where thousands of aerial
carts, cabs and carriages hurry hither
and thfther, We wonder how man can
have lived without flying. Even yet we
are surrounded by a decaying past.
Underground London is said to be
honeycombed with tunnels In which
trains ran up to fifty years ago! In
many parts of the country telegraph
and telephone poles still stand with
dangling wires, though wireless tele-

Pepper in Olden Times.

DR.. Adolph Miller, of Philadelphia,
President of the Pennsylvania My
cological Club, in dissertation on the
pepper plant, says. that during the
Middle Ages in Europe pepper was the
most esteemed and most important of
all the spices. Genoa, Venice and 9th
er commercial cities of central Europe
were indebted to their traffic in pepper
for large part of their wealth. Its
Importance as means of promoting
commercial activity and civilization
during the Middle Ages can hardly be
oyerrated. Tribute was levied in
pepper, and donations were made in
this spice, which was frequently also
used as medium of exchange in place
of money. When the imperial city of
Rome was besieged by Alaric, the
King Of the Goths, in 408 A. D., the
ransom demanded included 5000
pounds of gold, 10000 pounds of silver
and 5000 pounds of pepper, illustrating
the Importance Of this spice at that
time.
