LACKING IN SOME PERSONS.
Sense of Direction Is an Instinct That
Is Not Possessed by
Everyone.

BY this strange sixth sense" you
always know about where you are 1t
is to some degree a memory for back
tracks and landmarks, but to a greater
extent an instinct for the lay of the
country, for relative bearings, by
which you are able to make your way
across lots back to your starting place.
1t is not an uncommon faculty, yet
some lack it utterly. If you are one of
the latter class do not venture, for you
will get lost as sure as shooting. and
being lost in the mountains is no Joke
writes Stewart e. White, in Outlook.
Some men possess it, others do not.
The distinction seems to be almost ar
bitrary. 1t can be largely developed,
but only in those with whom original
endowment of the faculty makes devel-
opment possible. No matter how long
direction-blind man frequents the
wilderness, he is never sure of himself.
Nor is the lack any reflection on the
intelligence. l once travelled in the
Black Hills with young fellow who
himself frankly confessed that, after
much experiment, he had come to the
conclusion that he could not find him
self" He asked me to keep near him
and this l did as well as 1 could, but
even then three times during the course
of ten days he lost himself completely
in the tumultuous upheavals and can
yons of that badly mixed region.

confines Of a thick swamp about two
miles square. On the other hand. many
exhibit almost marvellous skill in strik-
ing bee line for their objective point

engrossing and wandering hunt, exact
" where camp lies.

Bridges in Korea

Some idea of the delights of travelling
in Korea is given by the following de-
scription by traveller of the bridges"
in that country: "A frst-class bridge in
Korea is simply an assortment of planks
nailed together. These are scarce. A
second-class bridge is series Of isolated
stones, from one to another of which the
fisitor may jump. A third-class bridge,
much the commonest variety-is invis-
ible, its position being indicated by
couple of pests, one on each side of the
river. They mean that you may safely
wade across, as the water will probably
mot go much above your chest.-Lon-

Negrito Weapons.

The weapons of the Negritos are uni
versally the bow and arrow and the short
knife, or bolo. The bows are of various
materials, from clumsy strip of bamboo
to the fine-grained palma bravo" which
takes beautiful polish. The arrows are
of light and straight mountain cane,
either with sharpened hardwood points
or variously shaped and barbed-irou
points. Some for larger game have de-
tachable points fastened to the shaft by
a woven fiber coil, which unwinds when
the animal is struck, leaving a dangling
shaft to catch on underbrush, and so re-
ard the animals fight.

CUPID VEXES SCHOOL BOARD
Town Of Melbourne, Iowa, Proves
Good Matrimonial Market
for Teachers.

Young women teachers, matrimonial
ly inclined, may find good market for
husbands in Melbourne, a thriving lit
tie Marshall county Qa) town, al
though it is certain that if their matri-
monial inclinations are known to the
directors their applications will not be
considered During the school year
just ended the board Of education of
Melbourne has been up against the
marriage proposition with a vengeance
and would like, If possible, to secure
about three good teachers for next
year who can warrant themselves alb
solutely matrimonial proof.
Three teachers were employed at the
beginning of last year, but before the
term was more than half out, one of
the teachers, Miss Grace Reed, blush
ingly informed the directors that she
was going to get married and they had
better get another teacher. The new
teacher had no more than been in
stalled until another Of the teachers,
Miss Ethel Ogan, announced her en-
gagement, and informed the directors
there was another vacancy. Again the
directors found a satisfactory substi-
tute and then believed their troubles
were over. But not so. The third of
the original trio Of teachers, Miss
Emma Barre, handed in her resigna-
ton with the announcement that she
was to become a bride. Her resigna-
ton was accepted. It is safe to say
that hereafter young and particularly
attractive applicants will be looked
upon with suspicion by the Melbourne
school board.

answer promptly.
"In this the widow gave her real
name, her address and her telephone
number and suggested that I call her

upon her. 1 did so with alacrity''
