The enthusiasm of the thoroughgoing
lover of Browning takes some surpris-
ing turns The author of ''In Tuscan
Garden tells a story concerning Dr.
Furnival, one of the founders of the
Browning society.
A young relative of the Englishwo-
man in London was looking out at one
time for bachelor chambers in block
of flats. The secretary of the company
to whom they belonged intimated that
the testimony of two householders as
to his rent paying capacity would be
required. The applicant gave the Eng
lishwoman's name as one and DR.. Fur
nival for the other.
DR.. FurnivaPs reply, after a glowing
panegyric on the merits of the appli
cant, wound up by cOngratulating the
company on getting as tenant man
who was not only a gentleman and a
good fellow, but a member of the
Browning society"

WHY INDIANS PAINT.
A Legend of the Red Men Explains
the Strange Custom.

-
the Strange Custom.
Once an old Apache Indian when
asked the question why his people
painted their faces told this little leg
end:
Long ago when men were weak and
animals were big and strong chief of
the red men who lived in these noun
tains went out to get deer, for his
people were hungry.
"After walking all day he saw deer
and shot at it, but the arrow was
turned aside and wounded mountain
lion, which was also after the deer.
When the lion felt the sting of the ar
row, he jumped up and bounded after
the man, who ran for his life.
'He was almost exhausted, and
when he felt his strength giving way
he fell to the ground, calling on the big
bear, who, you know, is the GRANDPA
ther of men, to save him.
''The big bear heard the call and saw
that to save the man he had to act
quickly, so he scratched his foot and
sprinkled his blood over the man.
"Now, you must know that no ami
NAL will eat of the bear or taste of his
blood. So when the lion reached the
man he smelled the blood and turned
away, but as he did so his foot scraped
the face Of the man, leaving the marks
of his claws on the blood smeared face.
when the man found that he was
uniniured, he was so thankful that he
left the blood to dry on his face and
never washed it at all, but left it until
it peeled off.
where the claws of the lion scraped
it off there were marks that turned
brown in the sun, and where the
blood stayed on it was lighter. Now
all men paint their faces that way
with blood and scrape it off in streaks
when they hunt or go to war;"

The attraction of a mans character
is apt to be outlived, like the attraction
of his body, and the power of love
grows feeble in it's turn, as well as the
power to inspire love in others. 1t is
only with a few rare natures that
friendship is added to friendship, love
to love and the man keeps growing
richer in affection-richer, mean, as
a bank may be said to grow rich, both
giving and receiving mOre--after his
head is white and his back weary, and
he prepares to go down into the dust
of death.-Robert Louis Stevenson.

ment Tells to One Woman.
81 wouldn't attempt to judge man
by his coat" she said gravely, "but /
would not hesitate two minutes to
Judge him by his necktie. 1t is an al
most infalible guide. Of course there
are exceptions, but the character and
intellect of most men can be told by
the way in which they tie their ties.
Now, take the overcleyer man, for e1-
ample.
"The tie of the genius has afforded
much copy for the pen Of the satirist
and the pencil of the caricaturist, but
in reality any little regularity or lido
syncrasy in dressing is generally the
outward and visible sign of vanity
rather than of personal untidiness. The
average man, with an ordinary share
of intellect, seldom knows how to tie
a tie as it can be tied and is tied by
men with no intellect at all. He may
possess a charming selection of the
best ties which Broadway can supply
and does not in the least look eccentric
nay, rather, he often wants to be as
smart in appearance as possible, but
somehow he rarely achieves his object.
Directly you see really beautifully
tied tie Except in the cases of military
men and actors, with whom it is a
part Of the training) which never
moves out of place, following faithfully
the little idiosyncrasies of contempora-
~ dandyism, you may be fairly certain
that you are not face to face with an
undiscovered Shakespeare or an en-
bryonic Goethe. OF course, in the case
of rich and important parsonage, the
lesser details of the toilet are usually
left to the valet, but even then I defy
a man of real brains to keep his tie at
the exact angle for any considerable
time. At dinner you will generally find
that by the time the soup has arrived
the evening tie has shifted it's position
or become obliquely set. This could
probably be easily avoided, only it hap
pens that the way in which man
wears his tie indicates pretty accurate
~ the wearer's intellectual apprecia-
ton of trifes.-Toledo Blade.

THE CARDS OF DOMINICA.
Fierce Savages Who Have Dropped
Their Man Eating Ways.

Fierce SavaBeS VINO have dropped
Their Man Eating Ways.
A recent colonial report on the Caribs
of Dominica is interesting. Very mys-
terious is the origin of the fierce saw
ages, now almost extinct, who were in
possession Of the smaller West Indian
islands when the first white man burst
''into that silent sea-" They showed
distinct Monaghan character, and it
would be hard to distinguish Carib in
FAINT from a Chinese child. Some twen-
ty years ago a Chinaman who had
drifted to Dominica declared the Caribs
to be his own people and married a
pure bred Carib woman. The resultant
child showed no deviation from the ma
tive type
Today they have dropped their man
eating ways. but in the sixteenth CEN
fury they secured the Spanish main in
search of human food, and from Porto
Rico alone are said to have taken more
than 5000 men to be eaten. Though
Spaniards, Frenchmen, Dutchmen. ne
groes, or Arrowaks, were all meat to
them, yet these Caribs seem to have
shown preference for certain national
tiles. Davis, for instance, in his "His-
tory of the Caribby Islands," tells us
that 'the Caribbeans have tested of all
the nations that frequented them and
affirm that the French are the most
delicate and the Spaniards are hardest

POINTED QUESTIONS.
Put Yourself In the Other Ones
Place and Answer.

Put YOurSelf In the Otner One'S
Place and Answer.
The great task of sound ethics is to
stimulate the social imagination. We
must be continually prodding our sense
of social consequence to keep it wide
awake. We must be asking ourselves
at each point of contact with the lives
of others such pointed questions as
these:
How would you like to be the tailor
or washerwoman whose bill you have
neglected to pay?
How would you like to be the Gus
toner to whom you are selling these
adulterated or inferior goods?
How would you like to be the in
weston in this stock company which you
are promoting with water?
How would you like to be the employ
er whose time and tools and material
you are wasting at every chance you
get to loaf and shirk and neglect the
duties you are paid to perform?
How would you like to be the clerk
or saleswoman in the store where you
are reaping extra dividends by impos-
ing harder conditions than the state of
trade and the market compel you to
adopt?
How would you like to be the stoker
or weaver or mechanic on the wages
you pay and the conditions of labor
you impose?
How would you like to be the bust
ness rival whom you deprive of his lit
tie all by using your greater wealth in
temporary cutthroat competition?

GOrki's Early Struggles.

Maxim Cork, the Russian novelist
had an early career that in many ways
recalls the early struggles of Jacob A.
Riis. He ran away from home when
a lad and for years found life mighty
hard grubbing. He worked as a day
laborer, a sawyer, a cook and a lighter
man. Then he heard that free instruc-

having no money to pay for his jour
ney, he walked there, distance of
over 600 miles. Then he found he had

MODERN VALJEAN.
A New York Plumber Swept
Through the Sewers
A Distance of Three-quarters of
Mile to River.
lie COULD NOT STOP.
Force of Water Was Too Great
For Resistance.
Emerged Into East River and
Was Picked Up.

New York. March 14-Edward Boyle,
a plumbers helper, is the hero of trip
through the sewers of New York which
rivals in interest and danger the wan
derings of Victor Hugos Jean Vatican
through the labyrinth by which the
streets of Paris are drained.
For three-quarterS of a mile he was
swept helpless through the dark by a
rush of water running like a mill race.
Overhead the rattle and roar of the
busy streets went on. At last he was
thrown, dazed and bewildered, from the
mouth of the sewer into the East river.
Men on a scow moored nearby hauled
him out and brought him to land again.
For a time he could not speak, for
the shock of his terrible experience had
paralyzed his nerves. Then, while the
little crowd that had gathered about
him still were asking where he had
come from, he found his tongue and
asked for a Smoke" Half an hour
later he had refused the assistance of
the ambulance surgeon who had been
summoned, and had started on his way
home, seemingly none the worse for his
strange adventure.
Boyle is employed by a plumber who
has the contract for keeping in order
the sewer which runs through East
Fifty-third street and emptieS into the
East River There had been some trou-
BILE with the drains at No. 252 and Boyle
was sent with two other men to remove
the obstruction. Immediately opposite
the house is a manhOle of the main
sewer, and the men decided to start
their examination there. A ladder was
lowered into the sewer and Boyle with
a guide rope dangling ready to his hand,
went down first He almost had reach
ed then bottom when rung broke and
he lost his balance. He screamed as he
grabbed at the rope, and his compan-
ions bent over in time to see him miss
it and disappeared with splash.
Boyle said the water was rushing
through the sewer at a. terrific speed 1t
was three four feet deep. He could feel
the bottom. but could not keep his feet.
The Fifty-third street sewer runs into the
main drain at Second avenue There the
creased and Boyle narrowly escaped
drowning. He was hurled about. but man
aged to keep his head above water and
after a few moments more which. he says,
seemed like hours, he saw the light at the
end of the drain. He was hurled head
foremost into the river and struck out
for seow which lay near by. Except for
the severe shock Boyle seemed none the
worse for his journey.

INDIA WANTS TO KNOW.
Makes an Inquiry About the Kansas
Schools

Supt. Frank Nelson is in receipt of
a request to send some literature con-
cerning the Kansas school system away
over to India to help along the cause of
education there. The request comes
from a professor in Cornell university,
Ithaca, n. Y, who says in his letter to
Supt. Nelson:
Il am in receipt of a letter from Prof
J. w. jerks, of the department of po-
litical science of Cornell who is now
spending some time in India.
HE has become greatly interested in
the Maharaja of Baroda, India. This
man is striving under great difficulties
to elevate his people through education.
Although he knows a good deal about
England and English schools, he knows
nothing about education in this coun-
try. Prof. jerks thinks it would be a
very applicable thing if you could send
him one or more of your recent state
reports, together with any available
literature you might have which would
help to throw light upon educational
progress in your section of the coun-
try.
.'The address to which the reports are
to be sent is Mr.. aChhaganlal Thakur-
das Modi, acting director of vernacular

CUT OUT FOOTBALL.
Management of Ottawa Univer-
sity's Unexpected Action.

ottawa, Kas., March 14.-Just on the
eve of completing a schedule for the
year, the Ottawa football management
was notified Thursday that there would
be no football at Ottawa university this
year. This came in the form of reso-
luton passed by the faculty recon-
mending to the board of trustees that
until further notice intercollegiate foot
ball will be discountenanced in the in
Stitution.
The board of trustees does not meet
until June, and that is too late to make
a schedule. besides the board is almost
sure to affirm the decision of the fac
ulty. Captain Evans told correspond
ent that many of the team would leave
school, but further than that he would
not talk. Evans himself will undoubt-
edly remain. The resolution was read
in chapel by President Riggs. 1t was a
surprise to the main body of the stu
dents, and there was a manifestation
of disapproval by kissing. A few ap
plauded. The action of the faculty has
been the sole topic of the day. Presi
dent Riggs stated that the action of the
faculty was made wholly on the ground
of expediency. and not on the usual OPP
position arising from the brutality of
the game. 1t was too expensive, he
claimed.
