The s'Needle's Eve"

Bill Arp writes in the Atlanta Con-
stitution: A lady writes to me and
asks what is really meant by the
needles eye'' in the parable of the
rich man. I remember reading some
where that it was the smallest gate
that gave entrance to the walled city OF
Jerusalem and that loaded camel had
to be stripped Of its burden and bend
its knees to squeeze through. And so a
rich man had to give up his riches and
come to his knees before he could en-
ter heaven. But I do not find that in
any commentary. It was just one of
the thouand proverbs that adorned the
moral teachings of the Jews and the
eastern nations. The writings of Job
and Solomon. and Confucius and Ma
homet abound In them. In the Koran
is found this proverb: "The impious
man will find the gates of heaven shut
and he can no more enter than camel
can pass through a needles eye" There
is another in the Koran which says:
"You will never see palm tree of gold
nor an elephant pass through aneedle's
eye" These proverbs simply meant
that it was impossible. Strange to say,
the world has long since quit making
proverbs. All proverbs have come
down to us, even such as "A rolling
stone gathers no moss" Poor Rich
ard left us few, such as "A penny
saved is two pence gained" +.

Saved His Life.

Whitehall, ILL.,, June Sth.-Mr. Lon
Manley had Bright's Disease and
after his home doctor had treated
him for some time he finally told him
that he could do nothing more for
him and that he would surely die. =,
A friend who had heard of what
Dodd's Kidney Pills had done in
cases of Kidney Trouble advised Mr..
Manley to try a treatment of this
remedy.
He did so and every one was sur:
prised and delighted to see an i'm.
rrovement in very short time. This
improvement gradually kept on as
the treatment proceeded, till now Mr..
Manley is well. He says:
''The doctor said he had done all he
could for me. He gave up. A
friend advised me to take Dodd' s
Kidney Pills and in a few weeks ]
was nearly all right again.
II am not dead and can truthfully
say mat feel better to-day than ]
have for years. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are a wonderful remedy and I will
always praise them and recommend
them to every one suffering as did"
Mr.. Manley's recovery has caused a
profound sensation, as no one ever
thought he would recover.

COLOR SENSE OF SAvAGEs.
Peoples Among Whom 1T Is Little De
vAInned.

Peoples Among Whom 1t Is Little De-
veloped.
In his lecture on "The Sense of
Primitive Man." delivered at the ROYAL
Institution, DR.. w. H. R. Rivers spoke
about primitive color vision. He de-
voted his introductory remarks to the
Importance of the color sense in the
study Of the relation between language
and ideas, and referred to the deficien-
cy in color sense which DR.. Gladstone
and, later, Geiger, held to exist among
the ancients, and to the theory of an
evolution Of color sense in man within
historical times. He then gave some
account of the vocabularies employed
for colors by several savage races.
The simplest he found was among the
Australian natives in the Seven Rivers
district, number Of whom had only
three terms;; natives from the Fitzroy
River showed much the same charac-
teristics. The next simplest was that
of Kiwai, on the Fly River, where
there was no name for blue apart from
black The last two he mentioned
were those of Murray Island and Ma
bung, which were more extensive. In
these four vocabularies four stages
might be seen in the evolution of color
language exactly as deduced by Gel
ger, red being the most definite, and
the colors at the other end of the
spectrum the least so. It was note
worthy, too, that the order of these
peoples in respect to culture was the
same as in regard to development OF
words for colors. The Eskimo, DR..
Rivers observed, differed radically
from the language Of the tropical peo-
pies he had examined in possessing an
extremely well-developed color vo-
cabulary. He next discussed the cpl
thets used for color in Homer, and
concluded that the features of his color
language were essentially of the same
nature as those found among primi-
tive peoples of the present day. Speak
ing Of the objective examination of
color sense in the Torres Straits, he
said the people showed no confusion
UCIWSSu leu 1Au S1CSA L uc AuFc6LlSd-
ton of their colon names, he thought,
showed that to them blue must be a
duller and darker color than it was
to us, and, indeed, the tintometer had
afforded evidence of a distinct quanti-
tative deficiency in their perception of
blue, though the results were far from
proving blindness to blue. DR.. Riv-
ers then discussed some of the objec-
tons that had been urged against the
theory of historical evolution of COL
or sense, coming to the conclusion
that it was not to be lightly put aside,
though it could not be regarded as
fully demonstrated. Finally he con-
sidered some of the factors that deter
mined the special characteristics OF
primitive color language, giving some
instances from widely separated parts
of the world, in which names of colors
seemed to be derived from the same
natural objects.-London Times.

In Washington, as in all other large
cities, hotel men see some Of the queer
est phases Of human nature. The ex-

guests are occasionally of uncommon
interest. To deal with this class often
presents as tough proposition as

as mild a hammered man as ever cut

and then one proceeds to perpetrat,,

perform at home in a century.
A case in point was that Of ,vo,,
hxed Westerner, who, with his wife
and children, had suite of fine rooms
recently at one of the best hotels. The
husband and father went on a sDree
and his wife begged the proprietor to
watch his guest, as she knew he car
rled big sum of money about with
him. He kept drinking to excess
however, and one evening walked I'D
to- the cashier and annouced his mr.
pose to take his family to Norfolk By
boat.

Things That Never Die,

The pure, the bright, the beautiful.
That stirred our hearts in youth,
Inc impulses of Wordless PRAYER.
The dreams of love and truth:
The longings after something lost
The spirits yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes
these things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A. brother in his need,
A kindly word in griefis dark hour
That proves friend indeed;
The plea for mercy softly breathed
When justice threatens nigh:
The sorrow Of a contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The memory of a clasping hand,
The pressure of a kiss,
And all the trit1es, sweet and frail,
That make up loves first bliss:
If with firm, unchanging faith,
And holy trust and high,
Those hands have clasped, those lip
have met
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word,
That wounded as it fell;
The chilling want of sympathy
We feel but never tell;
The hard repulse that chills the heart.
Whose hopes were bounding high.
In an unfading record kept
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to- do:
Lose not chance to waken love-
Be, firm and just and true.
So shall light that can not fade
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voices say to thee
These things shall never die.
