The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1902-08-29
Professional Envy.

An Italian philosopher has amused
hlmself by constructing scale Of de-
grees for the measurement of profess
sional envy. The highest point in this
envy measurer is ten.
Architects are happily placed lowest
on the scale. They register only /;
advocates and priests and military
men are ranged at 2, and in the as
cending scale he gives us professors
of science and literature, 4; journal
lists, 5; authors, s; physicians, o. ac-
tors and actresses, 10. The small
amount OF envy among architects is
held to be due to their precise, severe
and rigid studies. The same thing ap-
plies to advocates.
Among the clergy envy is found
mostly in preachers. In the military
career envy is quiescent in time of
peace, but can become acute in time
of war; Envy makes men of science
and literature lead solitary lives, diff
dent of each other. Among physicians
envy is still more prevalent, and they
do not spare their colleagues, often
terming them charlatans. In the the
atrical world envy reaches its acute
form, vanity playing a great part in
its production.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1902-08-29
Mexican Child Life.

Mexican children high and low are
exceedingly fortunate in being treated
almost uniformly with the greatest
kindness and affection by their par
ents. From babyhood they have an eX-
cellent understanding with their eld-
ers, respect and affection on one side,
affection and tenderness on the other.
No Indian is too ragged or dirty to
kiss the hand of his tattered old moth
er with the grace of lord. This hab-
it, with the real reverence of which it
is the outward and visible symbol, is
commenced early in childhood. An In
dian, even drunk, does not abuse his
family. Assisted home by friend on
either side, whose condition is only a
few degrees better than his own, he
sits on his doorstep, the one entrance
to the single unlighted room consti-
tuting his dwelling, and contemplates
life with maudlin good nature while
the children ard dogs play around him
and over him until he falls into drunk
en- stupor.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1902-08-29
Crows ~ Weather Pronhets,

The belief that two crows are hap
py omen and that they appear to warn
men from disaster is very ancient.
Alexander the Great was thus saved
in Egypt ~ two crows, and King
Alonzo would assuredly have persisted
in 1147 had it not been for two crows,
one of which perched on the PROV and
the other on the stern of his ship, so
pointing the Prov of the royal barge
safely into port. Crows and rocks are
very much alike. 1t is said that when
rocks desert rookery it forebodes the
downfall of the family on whose prop
erty it is.
They are also credited with being
good weather prognosticators. When
the weather is about to be very bad,
they stay as near home as possible,
but when they foreknow that it will
be set fair they start off in the MORN
ing right away to a distance where
they have an instinct that the food
they need is plentiful. Again, If IL ;
rocks are seen venturing into the
streets of town or village it is sure
sign of an approaching snowstorm.-
All the Year Round.

CuItivating Ginger.

Ginger is made q matter of scientific
culture in Jamaica. 1t is propagated by
cutting up small pieces of the root, and
If possible, rich, cool soil from recent
ly cleared woods is selected for it. 1t
is great impoverisher Of the soil and
grows so luxuriantly that in a short
time little piece of root will spread so
as to produce nearly pound of new
roots. The sets are planted in March
or April and get to their full growth
about September.
The roots are dug usually in Jamaica
in January or February. They are
washed, exposed to the sun until thor
oughly dried and packed in parcels of
about hundred pounds each. In order
to dry them more rapidly they are first
scalded in little copper pot in order
to destroy life, of which the roots are
very tenacious. White ginger ana
black ginger are from the same roots,
the difference arising from methods Of
curing. Roots for sugar preserving are
dug while quite young, before the
stems are more than five or six inches
high.
