Sweetness That Never Pals.

During a sleepless night the Veziee
Muejjeduddin Kumija dispatched his
slave, Bedruddin Ejas, to bring him
sweets. The slave procured a copper
kettle heaped with many kinds of
fruits and sweets, and MujjeduddiD
began to eat.
"You relish them, my master?"
asked the slave. sF
The vezier shrugged his shoulders.
These fruits are sweet for the mo-
ment,"' he said; "but show me fruit
the sweetness of which will endurs
even unto the Judgment Day" 4
Such fruits there are, my mas.
teri" cried the slave, and hastened
toward the Nesched Husa, where he
awoke the starving orphans in the
house of Alvin and led them forth
and into the room Of his master.
Overjoyed, the famished children de-
'voured the fruits.
Look, O. my MASTER" said the
slave. Here you see fruits the sweet

THE PURSUIT OF PLEASURE.
Quest for Amusement Now Carried to
Unreasonable Length.

A keen-eyed oulooker Of the times
and the manners remarks that "the
insatiate love Of pleasure is the most
salient feature ol these early twen-
tieth century days. This craving for
amusement pervades all classes and
all ages. In fact, the mothers and
grandmothecs manifest this trait in
an even more marked degree than the
younger women and the girls do;
while the country is becoming de-
populated because farmers sons and
daughters refuse to remain where
plays, concerts and dances are not OF
frequent occurrence In colleges and
girls schools the games are of far
greater consequence than the studies
in the eyes of many of the students.
1t is questionable, continues this
woman, whether these nard toilers
after enjoyment really attain their
end in most cases. There is good
deal of truth in the cynic's aphorism.
Life would be very pleasant if it were
not for its pleasures '"--Philadeiphia

To teach a child with success re.

Of the teacher.
First of all, she must remember that

Of comprehension, with listlessness or
with forgetfulness. Often, indeed, for
these last named faults, moor teaching
is to blame. Second, there is the

to prepare every lesson carefully be.

Third, there IS the ever present dan.

VALUE OF COLLEGE TRAINING.
AWakens the Student to the Problems
Of the World.


1t may as we'll be admitted that
college training does not teach a man
to keep books or to sell goods. What
education aims to do is to educate
to develop the man, to awaken him
to the problems of the world, to
widen his horizon. There is no dan
ger that not enough attention shall be
given to commercial development.
But there is possibility that the
business man may become narrowed
to his task and fail to take an inter-
est in the world of ideas about hin.
Education ought not to prevent a
man from acquiring the necessary de-
tails Of business. And it ought to
make him a more valuable citizen.
That most successful business men
believe this is shown by the fact that
they are sending their sons to college.

edge and taking advantage Of Ter ops
portunities she quickly paid OFF her
Indebtedness and laid the foundations
II her present large fortune.
AT that time what have been known
since they became dependency OF
Germany, in 1884, as the Bismarck
archipelago, a group of Islands lying
northwest Of New Guinea were almost
unknown. The largest of these islands
were formerly known as New Britain,
New Ireland and the Duke of York
group. but now appear on the map as
New Pomerania New Meckfenberg,
and New Lauenberg respectively.
Their area is about 1920 square miles
and the population is estimated at
l98, 900.
Queen Emma was the first person to
recognize the fertility OF the group,
and for comparatively small sums
acquire title to many thousands OF
acres. She established plantations and
as her business increased put on a
line Of vessels of her own that now
ply between the islands and Austria
ia
At first her position on the islands
was not only uncomfortable, but ex.
, tremely dangerous. The cannibalistic
, natives were hostile and suspicious
but she gradually acquired such inf1u-
ence over them that of nearly the
entire population she is now the vir-
tual ruler. She gives them their laws,
marrics and divorces them, and is
looked upon as the final arbiter in all
matters Of dispute.
She has gradually civilized many of
her dependents during the years Of
her supremacy over them and it is
now seldom that they appear in public
without at least a girdle around their
loins. On one plantation alone OF
1000 acres in New Pomerania she
employs 1,50O natives and fifty Eng.
! lishmen and Germans as overseers.
One Of the smaller plantations is de-
voted to the South Sea Island cotton
and comprises $4,000 acres. Other
products Of her plantation are rice,
coffee, tea, bananas, copra, bread fruit
and betel nuts.
Although a Samoan princess the
| United States have almost as much
claim to Queen Emma as the South
seas. Her father was Jonas "A. Coe,
