NEW WAY TO COLLECT DEBTS
Canadian Grocers' Association Has .
System Which Is Said to
Work Well.

According to Consul General
Holloway at Halifax, the retail
grocers' associations are general
ly adopting plan for collecting
bad debts that is said to have
worked well at Hamilton, Ontario.
The first step taken is request
from the grocer for payment, with
a hint that if not paid the account
will be handed over to the assO-
citation and all its members made
acquainted with the fact. The
next step is letter from the sec
rotary of the association stating
that the account has been handed
over and that if not paid by a GER
tain date the matter will be re-
ported to the members, after
which the debtor would be unable
to get further credit. If the fore
going is ineffective suit is threat
ened. Should the debtor still neg
lect payment, letter is written to
his employer, stating that all legit
innate means have been taken TO
collect the debt, and as a last re.
sort the matter is reported to him
in the hope that he will use his in
fuence to effect a settlement. This
plan is said to work well, especial
ly when the association has
large membership and includes
the principal grocers of the com
munity.

ANCIENT ARIZONA VILLAGES.
Prehistoric Ruins Are Persistently
Looted Of Relics by vandal
Tourists.

Archaeologists are much per-
turbed by the persistent footing of
the prehistoric towns of Arizona
by relic hunters and they have
been stirred up to urge their pres
ervation by legislative action for
the benefit of students of ethnol-
ogy. Vandals digging in the ruins
find relics, which they dispose of,
and so distribute articles of great
value in throwing light on the pre-
historic inhabitants beyond the
reach of ethnologists.
Among the groups which the
archaeologists are particularly
anxious to preserve in this way
are several between Flagstaff and
the Black falls, in the Little Col
orado River valley. These consist
of citadel and buildings evident
ly devoted to number of differ
emf purposes. The structures, as
a rule, are small, with low walls,
the largest not being more than
three stories high. The stones fit
closely together and show signs
of having been dressed into shape.
Apparently the rooms of the low
er stories were entered from the
roof and never from lateral doors.
When windows were present they
were mere loOkouts, or small, rec
tangular openings, which would
admit scanty light. The roofs, ap-
parently, were fiat.
The most impressive of the
masses of aboriginal masonry in
this region is about five miles due
west from Black Falls and 40 from
Flagstaff. The mine stands above
the plain and is visible for
many miles. From a distance
perched on a low, redstone mesa,
the top of which is 10 feet above
the plain, it resembles an old cas-
tie. At its highest point this ruin
was evidently three stories high,
or at least had three rooms, one
above the other. The walls are
fine examples of primitive mason
ry, due care having been taken to
bind the corners and otherwise tie
the walls together.

Wasting of Fuel in England.

Prevention of waste is matter
of perennial interest, especially
the waste of fuel, which is power.
In past times millions of tons of
small coal, drawn from British
mines, have been thrown away.
That shameful system lis coming
to an end. \ recent witness told
the royal commissioners who are
investigating the question of Eng
lands coal supplies, that in the
north of England "there is not a
particle of coal, whether sound,
small, or whatever it may be,
which is not utilized in some form
or other" Unfortunately this
gratifying evidence is not true of
South Wales and some other dis
tricts. as will be found when the
commission makes its report

How It ALI Happened.

Tommy had cold. 1t was just
a wee bit of a cold, not enough to
count, brother Fred said; but then
Fred didn't know anything about
it, of course.
"An' / can't bring in the kind
ling-wood or feed the chickens or
go TO school !" announced Tommy,
jubilantly, and then he coughed,
such funny made-up cough that
brother Fred laughed ",Ho! no !"
and mamma Stone said, "Dear me
You're not bit like George Wash
ington. are yon2"
Tommy didn't know what it was
all about, and he said so, and then
mamma laughed, bright, CHEEKY
laugh. "Do you know who George
Washington WASP" she said.
Tommy stood very straight and
tall. He put back his shoulders
and let his arms hang down his
sides. He looked just exactly as
be did when he stood at the head
of his class at school. George
Washington was a great General, "
he said, quickly, an he was sold
Ter, an a President of the United
States, an he was the Father of his
Country, sides lots of other
things!p
"Good !" said mamma. "And
George Washington was never too
sick to do mis- duty, and that is one
reason why he was great General
and a good soldier"
Tommy shifted. II guess George
Washington never had cold like
minel' he exclaimed.
"Ho! no j" laughed brother Fred.
she! he!" laughed sister Kate
again.
"Never had cold p said mamma.
"Once upon time he had fever
and he had to stay in his bed for
days and days, but the minute he
was able to get up and go out again,
back to the soldiers he vent Are
you able to go out, Tommy, or
must / put you to bed2"
Tommy looked solemn. 81 don't
want to go to bedp' he said, decid-
eddy. e."
"Then," said mamma, "a whole
army of wood-sticks wants to see
you, and some feathery soldiers
want their breakfast, and whole
schoolroom of boys and girls will
expect you to lead the march. If
you wish you can play you are
George Washington, instead of
Tommy Stone, only one thing you
must remember if you play that
play that you are never too sick to
do your duty"
And that is how it all happened
that Tommy fed the hens and filed
the wood-box, and when he went to
school he had a new George Wash
ington story to tell; and it was such
good story that the teacher put I.
star on his slate, which means that
it was very good story, indeed.
When Tommy came home at noon
his cough was gone and he had for
gotten all about his cold, which all
goes to prove that brother Fred was
right. II was not enough to count.

THE ORIGIN OF GENIUS.

The revival of interest in Chopin, due to the appearance of a biography and a discussion of his place among musical composers, has also called at tention to the fact that there is no dis coverable origin of his genius. His parents, while not of the lowest peas ant class. were not remarkable people, nor did any of his brothers or sisters display any marked characteristics to distinguish them from the average hu- man kind. Chopin, however, from in- fancy. gave evidence of superior mu- sical development. lie speedily dis tanced his instructors upor the piano, wrote such difficult music that he was compelled to devise his own method of lingering, and improvised long before he knew anything of technical counter point and harmony. His genius was intuitive. No one could tell whence it came. All delighted in it's manifesto ton.
 What is true of Chopin is true of nearly every other genius the world has known. A family pursues its con- monplace existence for several gener- ations, and then, without any apparent reason, a son or a daughter, endowed with faculties quite foreign to parents and relatives, mounts to the highest pedestal of fame. Genius, however, does not beget genius, and so, as soon as nature has sported with one shining example. the glory dies away and once more the dead level of common hu-

manity is resumed There was not, for instance, a gradual ascent to nor an equally even descent from the height which Shakespeare reached. He stands alone, with nothing before and nothing after Neither his father, a reputable merchant in Stratford, nor his mother, the daughter of a respectable land holder was apparently destined to give to the world so great son. Wagner'S father was the clerk of a police court. although he passionately loved the theater, and his mother possessed no especial gifts. Beethoven's father was an ordinary musician, and his mother was the daughter of a cook. The list might be indefinitely extended, includ- ing great leaders of men like Mahomet and Napolean; or poets, from Homer to Tennyson; or painters from Raph- ael to all the famous artists of the present day. In all these men the mystery of genius was present. Its presence excited curiosity, as well as admiration, and yet it's cause remained a sealed book. All that is said, and written is mere suspicion and guess work. No one knows what peculiar convolution of the brain, what partic- ular activity of undiscovered cells, makes the poet, the musician, the artist or the general. We say man is l born poet or a born musician, and there we pause. Science brings noth- ing definite to our aid and leaves the curtain darkly down.
 While it $ true. as Carlyle said, that genius is capacity for taking infinite pains, it is also true that no amount of labor can supply the missing ele ment of genius. A man who lacks the vital spark at h.s birth might as well accept the place where nature has as- signed him. It is not for him to be great. Perhaps the time will come when the researches of the scientists will reveal to us how geniuses are made, discovering the conditions which create the wonderful gifts which make the whole world bow in admiration Until then, however, the mystery of genius must be ignorantly worshipped. It is even poor consolation to agree with SchoDenhauer that there is q touch of genius in every man. He ar gues that unless this were the case, it would be impossible to explain the love of humanity for art and music and all the concrete manifestations of beauty. At the same time this is merely the statement of a fact, not the discovery of cause. With the birth of every genius the eternal riddle pre- sents itself unsolved. Some of these days, when the world is not so wholly given over to materialism, as it is to- day. some rare ethereal, spiritual mind may grasp the secret. Meanwhile. we of the Srosser flesh can simply wonder and adore.-Washington Post.
