Folded Arms.

'Tis not the man with match alight
Behind The barricade
Nor he who stoops to dynamite
That makes us feel afraid.
For halter end and prison cell
Soon quench these brief alarms:
But where are found the means to quell
The man with folded arms?
Ne dread the man who folds his arms
And tells the. simple truth.
Whose strong. imDetuous protest charms
The virgin ear of youth.
Who scorns the vengeance that we wreak
And smiles to meet his DOOM
Who on the scaffold still can speak
And breaches from the tomb.
We kill the man with dagger drawn
Ths man with loaded gun:
They never see the morning dawn
Nor hail the rising sun;
But who shall slay the immortal man
Whom nothing mortal harms.
Who never fought and never ran
: The man with folded arms?

MEN WHO LIVE LONG.
Varying Occupations Have Much to
Do With life's Length.

With regard to the occupations
which ensure longevity ii is the uni
versal testimony that clergymen
reach the highest age, being close run
by gardeners and vine-dressers, Ordi-
nary agricultural laborers, although
their occupation is so largely in the
open air, are not conspicuous as long
livers, except in France. Sweden and
England. People working with wood
are longer lived than those whose oc-
cupatlons are with metals, and both
attain Il higher age than textile work
ers and workers in chemical industries.
The shortest-lived people are miners,
except in England, where the superior
mining regulations and admirable san
itary arrangements have beneficial
effect. In England and Norway sailors
and fishermen live to far greater
age than in Germany and France.

1t seems strange that the use OF
forks began only with our easily re-
membered forefathers. that the Greeks
and Romans did not know anything OF
them, and that in the far Eastern coun-
tries their use is still unknown. Up
TO the Fifteenth Century they were
known only in Italy. Elizabeth had
three forks" "garnished with gold
sleightly," and with ''lyttle perles PEN
dant." but they were considered as Gu
riosities and never used. Indeed, in
that era it was considered bad form
and ministers contended that to use
them was to insult God. What were
Cur fingers for? In Thomas Coryates'
'Crudities, published originally in
1908, is this:
Il observed 2 custom in all those
Italian cities and towns through which

country that | saw in my travels;

strangers, do always at their meals use
little fork when they cut their meats.
For while with their knife which they
do hold III one hand. they cut the
meat out of the dish. they fasten the
fork. which they hold in the other

words. This form of breeding. under
stand. Is generally used in all places
of Italy, their forks being for the most
part made of iron, steele and some of
silver; but these are used only by gem
tlemen. The reason for this curiosity
is because the Italian cannot by any
means endure to have his meat touch
ed with fingers, seeing that ell mems
fingers are not alike Clean
Not until the middle of the Seven
tcenth Century did England's nobility
begin the use OF forks. but they came
into use slowly, and even in the early
part of the Eighteenth Century gentle
men who travelled carried knife and
fork. because the inns were not likely
to have them. About 1915 forks be-
came quite common in Europe and
soon became to be considered general
ly as a necessity.-The Cooking Club.

pencils, which are municipal property.
are in certain schools distributed to
the scholars every morning and col

is constantly getting pencil which
has been previously used by another
child. When it is remembered that
children habitually put their pencils
in their mouths, it is easy to see how
diphtheria spreads. The inspector
has sent in a report to the authorities
