Three Sleepless Nights.

The late Peter NJ. Arthur, chief OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-.
gineers, was born in Scotland, but his
humor was OF an Irish rather than a
Scottish sort. Mr.. Arthur was a good
deal of a humorist, many anecdotes
of him having been circulated in
Cleveland since his death.
one of these anecdotes concerns q
night that he once passed without
sleep-a night of hard work, wherein
he averted n great strike.
An assistant, in a sentimental tone,
sympathized with Mr.. Arthur for his
loss of rest. ut is too bad" he said,
NO man should be driven like this.
A whole night without sleep! You
will break down"
Mr.. Arthur disliked sentimentalism-
coddling-profoundly. He said with a
froWn:
1T isn't one night I have gone with
out sleep. It's three nights"
Three nights?" said the other.
"How SOP
Why" said Mr.. Arthur, last night,
tonight and tomorrow night haven't
slept wink IN one of them"

ears filled with the tremendous roar
from the abyss below He seemed
magnetized by the rush and appalled,
by the sounds. Men who watched him
saw his face undergo great trans
formation as the grandeur of nature
was thus brought in contact with his
very soul. All of sudden one of the
observers, who was from Detroit
stepped forward, touched his arm and
led him n few steps and asked.
Say, old man, how do you think

There was n murmur of indignation
at this exhibition of sacrilege, but the

waking Francois.

The name Of Millet, the painter, has
been made familiar to many besides
art students by his "Angclus." How
the genius of the artist was reused
and encoura ged is told in his biogra-
ply.
The most original person Of the fam
lily and the one who had the most in
fiuence upon Millet was his grand
mother She was an old country wom-
an of intense religious faith, living in
God, seeing everything in God and
mlngling God in every scene Of nature
and every act of life.
One of Millet's earliest recollections
was of his grandmother waking him
when he was quite little child and
saying to him:
up, my little Francois If you only
knew what long time the birds have
been singing the glory of God"
When he had to leave home to go to
Paris his grandmother said, Il would
rather see you dead than unfaithful to
Gods commands"
At later time, when he had begun
to make his way in Paris, she reminded
him again:
Remember, my Francois, that you
were a Christian before you were a
painter. Paint for eternity and think
that the trump which will call to judg-
ment is on the eve of sounding"

EtlIUiuO Vanity,

To demonstrate the vanity Of the Fill
ipino Manila correspondent cites this
curious instance: A wealthy Mestizo-
Chino Filipino, who was recently the
complainant in a civil cause before the
court of first instance, on losing, APP
pealed to the supreme court. His ma
tive lawyer prepared an elaborate bill
of exceptions, which, however, did not
prevent the decision Of the court going
against him. Disguised with Filipino
legal talent, he approached one of the
most prominent American attorneys in
Manila and asked him to look the casp
through carefully to see If he could
find some way Of bringing II before the
supreme court Of the United States.
He ended the interview by saying that
he did not mind the cost nor care much
II the decision went against him, His
principal object was to be the first
Filipino to have case before the SUI
preme court Of the United States and
to have n good excuse to offer his
friends when he made his contemplat
ed trip to WashinHt"n this coming fall.

A Minister'S La bOrs.

Apart from the labors that fruit into
pulpit ministration and pastoral and
public service, is no accounting to hr
made of the mental strain and tn
spiritual travail which are an inaliena-
bic part of the ministerial ealing
Not onlyEoes the minister carry IN his
heart the sorrows of a great many per-
sons who look to him for succor, but
there are hours when the tide of his
own faith GIBBS. Is minister's nght
with his doubts worth anything to the
world? Because he always seems so
sure of his hold on the eternal verities
is it to be thought that he is content
to pass on to others a merely tradt-
tional faith instead of one that has
been wrought out in long hours OF
painful questioning and wrought at last
trlumphantly into the very texture Of
his own life? The effort which a min
lister makes to keep and broaden, to
intensity and made real, his own faith.
TO adjust it to the growing light Of
science, is as necessary and as noble
n part Of his work as anything that
he does.-An Open Letter in Century

why Japs Are Small.

Recently the editor of Chouo- Koron,
a journal published at Tokyo, deter
mined to find out why the japanese, as
a rule, are Of lower stature than the
natives of other countries, and after
spending considerable time at the task
he arrived at the conclusion that the
reason is because from time imme
mortal they have been accustomed to
squat on mats in Turkish fashion in
stead Of sitting down on chairs, as
Americans and Europeans do. The
japanese method of sitting he says,
interferes with the free circulation Of
the blood and naturally prevents the
limbs from becoming thoroughly de-
veloped.
AS proof that he is right he draws
attention to the fact that the boys in
Japan at the present day are taller by
five or six centimcters than their an
cestors were at Il similar age. an. he
maintains that the reason is because
the former, when they attend school,
are obliged TO sit on benches, whereas
the latter squatted while they learned
their lessons. That the Japanese ought
to be taller than they are is the edi-
tors opinion, and he has appealed to
the government to prohibit the use OF
mats.

A Funny BIunder.

A newspaper published at Siegbcrg,
Germany, distinguished itself by be-
slowing upon the pope Ave Christian
names which his holiness does not pos
sess. His baptismal name is Joseph;
but, according to the journal referred
to- the pontiff at the time of the con
clave's decision was Siegfried Adam
Richard Theodore Otto Cardinal Sar-
to. The Independence Beige explains
the mystery The Frankfort CORE
spondent telephoned through to his
paper the result of the election from
the Frankfort Gazette, and in spelling
Sarto he gave after each letter name
of which it was the initial. All the
names got into print. The Siegberl
paper pointed out the coincidence that
the initials Of the Christian names
made up the patronymic Of Plus X.

Street Hawkers In Verse.

Few householders who buy from
street hawkers know what the man
with lusty lungs is saying as he trails
along behind his wagon. but they do
know that almost to IA certainty on Il
specified day, almost to the hour, the
hawker from whom they buy their
vegetables or their fish will be coming
their way, and they know the peculiar
intonation of his voice just as women
who frequent auction rooms can follow
the auctionecr in jargon unintelligi-
Bile to the casual visitor. On the upper
west side is n hawker who has no speak
ing voice but who can sing a melllhu-
Gus baritone. He sells herbs. Here is
his song, which persons who want To
buy of him can hear half block away:

Ont of Door Educntion.

We are glad To see that out of door
schools are multiplying. The summer
school Is late invention, but 1t nts
itself well to our new social moods ana
needs. 1t takes us out of doors, either
to leave our books behind or TO make
them interpreters of things. II Is
happy fact that education IS AT last
swinging about to the CONVICTION that
10 ill mind with facts IS not the END
of study, says the Independent y
school must concern itself not only
with what Il boy is getting. but what
he can do with il. So the Summer
school takes in application as well as
acquisition and undertakes to show
that there Is no branch of study, GER
tainly not one of the modern sciences.
which cannot be directly applied to II .
great out OF doors. 1t is teaching rs
to make less of the building and nor =
of nature. Pupils are catching the
conception that the study of books Is
only supplementary to the study OF
objects. Farming is the ideal concer-
ton and country life is the Ideal life
because everything on the farm, il
rightly done, is applied science. Lee
us become an out of doors people.
