cabbage and Potato Glasses.

Many boys In German schools be
sides learning reading, writing and
arithmetic study cabbages and pota'
toes. They spend whole afternoons in
the school gardens. Many cities in
Germany have set aside plot of land
not far from the school where all sorts
of vegetables and plants are grown.
Here the boys learn how TO transplant
trees and SOW all kinds Of different
seeds. They learn why the cabbage
is first cousin 10 the cauliilOwer, when,
turnips should be pulled and how to
tell when melon is ripe. They learn
about the various kinds of weeds.
Poison vines are grown, and the boys
are taught 10 recognize them. Boys
are thus inspired to start little gardens

The Ring of Cheops.

Cheops was the builder of the pyra-
mid which bears his name, and, as If
to make the structure perpetuate his
deeds for all time to come, the very
stones and bricks of which 1t is COM
posed are stamped with his name.
Cheops lived nearly $500 years ago, his
great pyramid being an antiquity in
the days when the great nations of old
were i'm their youth and yet we of this
twentieth century can have the salts
faction of looking upon the very ring
he wore so proudly upon his finger!
The hieroglyphics on the ring are mi
nutely accurate and beautifully eXecut-
ed. the ring itself being of finest gold
and weighing nearly an ounce. The
oval signct bears the name of Cheops,
which is in hieroglyphics in perfect ac-
cord with the stamp on the bricks of
the great pyramid. This remarkable
antiquity was found in Il tomb at Chi
Zeh. It now reposes in the museum of
the New York Historical society.

Sincerity has enabled the individ-
ual to patiently bear the hatred,
bitterness and unkind machina-
tions Of the insincere, and to pur-
sue the noble aims undertaken.
Sincerity alone renders the Wis.,
ion clear enough to enable it to
overlook the trifling difference
between the rags that cover our
bodies, and detect the human
form beneath. Sincerity alone
changes human kind from mean,
crawling, struggling mass of
loathsome, self seeking worms, to
creatures able to lay hold of the
very floor of heaven. Sincerity
crucified in Christ, burnt in Bruno
tortured in Galilee, imprisoned

will accept responsibilities, be he
Christian or Communist, Anabap-

owing to the failure of the archi-
tect to arrive the ceremony was
postponed until Friday afternoon,
being duly placed in position at 8
O'Clock on that day.
The mistake was due to the fact
that we were informed by the
bank officials that Wednesday had
been selected as the time, and as

night we had no knowledge of the
postponement until the papers
had been mailed out.

"Thoreau," said Emerson,
twas sincerity itself, and might
fortify the convictions of prophets
in the ethical laws by his holy
living. 1t was an affirmative ex-
perience which refused to be set
aside. A truth-speaker he,
capable of the most deep and
strict conversation; physician
to the wounds of any soul; a
friend, knowing not only the
secret of friendship, but almost
worshipped by those few persons
who resorted to him as their con-
fessor and prophet, and knew the
deep value of his mind and great
heart. He thought that without
religion or devotion of some kind
nothing great was ever accom-
plished; and he thought that
the bigoted sectarian had better
bear this in mind"
Thoreau indeed possessed the
virtue most lacking in those in
the Theudas crowd. Give u man
or woman every good gift under
the sun, endow them with beauty,
drown them in u Pactolus shower
of wealth, let them have the man
ners OF Chesterfield, place them
beyond the dreams of avarice in
dress and equipage, but if sim
certify be lacking we do not really
want them as friends. To be in
consistent is nothing, to be in-
sincere Is everything.
~
The sincere man is all there.
He presents the same appearance
at all times and places. His
faults are open to inspection but
he follows the advice of Goethe
"Wo du bist, sci allies Where
thou art, be all there. The word
'slncere" was derived from the
practice of filling up flaws IN fur
plture with wax, so, sine cera,
and the word has come to mean
not vamped up, or adulterated.
de Is the sincere man who can
look truth square in the face and
not be ashamed-who can assent
with his whole mind to an accept
ed conviction, who can if needs
be, accept without murmur
social ostracism and the averted
gaze of his fellows for the sake of
his creed whatever it may be. fl
religious, the sincere man can
not pretend to give love to God
and offer hate to his fellow man.
DE must be AL there" and offer
ing love to the Creator, show love
to his fellows. IF thou remem-
oerest that thy brother hath
aught against thee, leave there
thy gift before the altar, 90 thv
way; first be reconciled to thy
brother, and then come and, offer
thy gift. Wo du Dist, sic allies.
II on the other hand your
would-be sincere man is not
attached to any creed, but talks
largely of humanity, and a uni
versal brotherhood, let him not
spend his energies ridiculing the
efeeds of others, but rather let
him be the foremost in showing
the way to greater social
efficiency,
