Village Loyalty.


IL one is not too good to live in
village, he is not too good to iden-
tlfy himself in heart and effort with
It's best life. What right has any
one, because he has visited, or
perhaps lived, at one time. in a
larger and more favored place. to
assume a supercilious attitude to-
wards the village in which he isnow
living? Why should he be 50 i'll
bred as to show that he regards
himself as martyr because stern
necessity compels him to stay in
the village for time? Why should
one be so caddish as to give the
impression that he regards it as an
unparalleled act of cOndescension
If he uses his gifts in the service of
the village church or of the village
social function. Why should one
be so lacking in tactful perceptive-
ness as to demand that the cOndi-
tlons and standards of the city
shall be enforced in the village?
Why should he sulk in his tent
when he finds that the village is
not going to conform to his urban
standard, or the village church is
not going to ape the appointments
and service of d cathedral? Why
should he always speak of the
village schools.with an air of ofpatron-
izing pity or, perhaps, contempt?
Perhaps there is much in
small village to try the patience and
to wound the sensibilities of per-
son who has enjoyed superior ad-
vantageS Of education and culture.
There is, no doubt, much narrow
ness, much pettiness, much stolid
indifference and even spiteful
jealousy towards the things that
make for higher grace and refine
ment. But a person of real super
iority Of culture (not the per-
son who is selfshly conscious
and assertive Of his advantages
knows how to make generous and
kindly allowance for the faults and
defects of his neighbors. The secret
of all true culture is the spirit of
Wholc-hearted love and service. He
who is in the world, not to be min
istered unto, but to minister, and
who seeks and values superior
advantages for the sake OF render
ing superior quality of service,
will not waste much time in dress
ing the wounds of his own sensi-
bilities. In the community where
God has placed him he will play
his part like a man, giving the
community his sincere and loyal
love, studying its conditions and
working for its uplift; not with the
air of a superior being reaching
down, but as a brother among
brethren striving for the common
good.

which serves to compensate the blind
for their loss of sight even more than

only be developed to a practical degree

One of the former street car con-

abnormal development of adipose It's

liked him, says the Star. Like many
of the other conductors on the line,
FATTY" had been greatly annoyed by
men who would get on his car and
tender him a ten-0ollar note from
which to deduct the fare. Of course,
the conductor could not make the
change and the man got his ride free.
At last, however, Fatty" determined
that he would teach at least one OF
these lesson. So one morning before
starting out on his run he went to the
cashier and got from him ten dollars
in pennies. A few days later man
boarded the car and handed Fatty a
ten-dollar note. Fatty" spoke not a
word, but went straight to the corner
OF the car where he had deposited the
bag containing the pennies and, abb
stracting five of them, handed the
balance to the passenger,
The latter protested that he did not
want that kind of change, but FATTY"
insisted that he could not do any bet

,e years.:

The total number of marriages for
1900 in Berlin was 20,756. This fell
last year to 1888, and in the first
quarter of this year there were 800
fewer marriages registered in the
German capital than in 1901.
Engagements in Germany are much
shorter than they used to be. The
betrothal rings are of two kinds.
Those who can afford them give each
other rings set with precious stones;
others purchase at once the plain
wedding ring just as does the wife.
The old type of betrothal is still not
uncommon in country districts and
provincial towns; but in Berlin and
in all larger cities there is marked
disinclination on the part of young
girls of any rank of life to bind
themselves with betrothal vows, I'M
less there is an expectation of mat
rimony, with comfort within COM
paratively short time, and good pros
poets for the future. On the other
hand, young men are less disposed
than heretofore to risk a venture into
the bonds of wedlock, in view of the
great increase of expense incident to
married life nowadays. In Berlin, es-
pecially, house rent has almost
doubled for married people within
the last Is years. The whole style
of life has become more costly. Serv-
ants wages are higher, and they I'M
dertalle less than formerly; meat Is
very dear, and the loaf of bread is
visibly diminishing in size. Greater
demands are made in regard to cloth
ing and recreation; and every haus-
frau will assure you that there is not
a single article of domestic need that
has not increased in price. The royal
statistical bureau brings another fact
to light. The number of births in
Prussia again decreased in 1900
namely, to an average of 37.5 per
1000. This is the lowest. figure
reached from 1S67-19OO, with the ex-
ception of that for 1871, when the
low figures were caused by the
FrancO-German war

ELECTRIC POWER FOR GREECE
Lake COpIas In BOcOtia May Some Day
Make Up for Lack of Coal,
OIL and Gas.

The great manufacturing interests
of Greece are already centered in the
African plain, and their further de-
velopment will follow rapidly, to
meet the increasing demands and
needs of the country. The same
difficulty confronts one and all-the
necessity of procuring fuel from
abroad at high prices.
With no coal fields to draw from,
no oil and no gas, too, and with riv-
ers that are, with few exceptions,
little short of wet-weather streams,
it might seem that there would be
no future for electricity in Greece
greater than what has been outlined
in connection with the power station
at PhalerOn.
There is, however, power as yet
unusued, which, it is claimed, may
some day be brought into use, says
Casters Magazine. Up in the north
of Boeotia lies the swampy lake
Copias and little south the smaller
one, Helike; the former as old as
the hills above it, and, from earli-
est days, an eyesore to the people
of that region. Only recently has it
been partially filed and turned into
arabic ground.
There is still good deal of lake
left, and, acting as it does, as drain
age basin for the Cephissus Major
and for many smaller streams OF the
northern mountains, it is sure to
remain lake as long as Greece
wants it to be one, and longer.
It is said that some day the wa
ters of these lakes will be brought
down to the plain of Attica and be
made to turn the wheels of indus
try. The scheme has been thus far
specifically received; but it Is at least
within the bounds of possibility, and
may be taken at its present worth
as a source of no little satisfaction
to a country in which coal might APP
proach unpleasantly close to the line
which divides luxury from necessity.

AMERICAN GRAIN ELEVATORS.
DEVELOPMENT of a system in America
on Scale Unknown Else
where in the World.

The farmers of the United States
to-day are sowing corn fields aggre-
eating over sO,O00,000 acres-4,OOO,000
more than in 1S9O-and even the Oat
area is nearly 3O,OOO,OOO acres, an in
crease of 20 per cent. 1t may be i'm
possible to sell such crop immedi-
ately except at a loss. Therefore the
imperative necessity for storage ia
cilities has resulted in the develop
ment of the elevator system in Amer
lea on a scale unknown elsewhere in
the world, says the Engineering
News.
On a Dakota, Kansas or Nebraska
farm where the harvest field may
cover 500 or 1000 acres only small
portion of the yield is threshed and
placed in the barn bins. The bulk is
carried to what is termed railroad
elevators located in convenient towns.
These vary in capacity from 10000
to 100000 bushels, according to
their location in the producing dis
trict, and from them the transporta-
ton company loads its cars for the
domestic or foreign market. But the
district elevators, as they might be
called, represent only fraction OF
the space for storage which now ex'
lists in the United States. Before 1t
is loaded on shipboard at tidewater,
a cargo may pass through four or
five different buildings, he trans
ferred from car to vessel and back
again to car, as the modern processes
employed facilitate its handling with
ease and economy.

WBIALE FOUND IN ARIZONA.
The Skeleton OF Very Large SpecI-

Near Yuma.

In THE museum at the University of
Arizona at Tucson has just been
placed khe skeleton of very large
whale found on the desert south Of
Yuma.
The fnl d, says report from Phoenix,
has excited much attention from sci
entists and aroused a discussion over
the MANNER in which the big fish came
so far inland. 1t has been said, and is
doubtless "a fact. that virtually all Of
sOuthwest4 Arizona and southeast
ern California was once covered by the
ocean and Aome scientists declare that
the whale Eas left high and dry when
the waters eceded from that region.

big fish ventS pred into the Gulf of Cali

Other finds pf value from scientific
standpoint hdye been made in the

scum are the tusks and lower jaw Of
