A SILENT TONGUE.

The best of us talk too much. "The
essence of power is reserve" said a
man who knew.
Many reputation has been built on
silence. Many one is spoiled through
rushing prematurely and Volubly into
speech.
1t is safe to be silent when your
words would wound. Faithful are the
wounds of friend, says the old prov
erb, but one wants to be mighty sure
ones friend needs the wounding and
that we are qualified to administer it.
Keep still when your words will dis
courage. 1t Is infinitely better to be
dumb forever than to make one fellow
being less able to cope with life.
Keep still when your words will in
cite to anger or discomfort. An incred-
ible amount Of breath is used in the
evil practice of trying to make our
friends dislike their friends.
Never speak when what you have to
say Is merely for the purpose Of exalt-
ing yourself.
Shut your lips with key when you
are inspired to babble incontinently of
yourself-your ailments, accomplish.

THE CHOICE OF MATES.
Artificial Matrimonial Selection Has
Given Poor Reaulta

Artificial Matrimonial Selection Haa
Given Poor Results.
No one knows what type will be the
best for survival in an unknown future
environment. We often see the ex-
t1nction Of families Of parents whom
any physician would have pronounced
ideal, but their children lacked resist
ance to the invasion Of pathogenic or
ganisms or there was some other de-
feet which made them easy targets for
climatic causes Of physical decay.
On the other hand, we quite often
find that parents below par physically
have fine families. The curious unions
which take place must be the result of
laws such as we find in every biologiC
phenomenon. Man has the same in
stinct found in lower animals to select
a mate who Is more or less different
from himself.
Should like types mate, their COM
mon characteristics may be so exag-
gerated as to be harmful and the line
perish. It is an instinct Of those of
great intelligence to marry those of
less than the average, for the offspring
revert to the better average. It Is very
evident that If we try to improve the
race intellectually by the marriage of
like types we will violate the natural
law upon which our existence is based.
Artificial matrimonial selection has
been tried, though the results were dis
astrous.-American Medicine.

PARCHM EMIT.
It Was Invented by the Greeks When
Papyrus Was Scarce.

It Was Invented by the Greeks When
Papyrus Was Scarce.
There is no evidence that papyrus
was grown for commercial purposes
outside of Egypt during the whole
Roman period, and the industry Of its
growth and manufacture must have
been a large and profitable one. In
the time of Tiberius a sedition was
nearly caused by a scarcity Of paper,
and a rebellious paper maker, in the
days Of Aurelian, boasted that he could
equip an army from the profits Of his
business-and did it too.
Parchment was invented by the
Greeks when papyrus was scarce, and
the middle ages reinvented it. There
Is evidence that linen rags were used
in paper making as early as the eighth
and ninth centuries. In paper Of that
period the fiber was chiefly linen, with
traces Of cotton, hemp and other f1bers.
The known specimens are Of oriental
origin and appear to have been clayed,
like modern papers, the material used
being a starch paste manufactured
from wheat.
The oldest manuscript written on
cotton paper in England is in the Brit
ish museum and dates from 1O49 A. D.,
and the oldest on the same material in
the Paris National library Is dated
1850. In 1885 the Christian successors
Of the Spanish Saracens made paper
of rags instead Of raw cotton, which
had been formerly employed.

HIS "KINGSMAN."


The SILK NeckerchisH Worn by the
London COstermOnGer.
Speaking of London costermongers
Mayhem says: 1.-THE man who does
not wear his silk neckerchief-his
'kingsman,' as 1t Is called-iS known to
be in desperate circumstances" The
neckerchief Is more priced than any
other item Of his attire and a coSter's
caste is at stake II his kingsman be
not Of the most approved pattern.
This habit is derived from the
gypsies and doubtless dates from
some long forgotten oriental custom.
1t is very curious that a taste for
similar colors prevails among the
Hindoos, gypsies and costermongers.
Red and yellow are the favorite colors
and the Oldest. OF these, the coster
chooses his plush walstcoat and his
kingsman, the gypsy his breeches and
his wife her shawl and gown; the
Hindoo his robe and turban. If a
fight occurs, the favorite colored ar
ticle of dress receives the greatest
care. The pugilistic coster ties his
kingsman round his waist or his leg.

The Origin Of Grocer.

Grocer appears in Hollnshed's Chron-
icle, 1880, as "grosser," and in other
medieval records 1t Is sometimes
written "engrosser," and was applied
to the spicers and pepperers who were
wholesale dealers in various spices
that is, who dealt en- gros-in large
quantities, as distinguished from ire
grators," who were retail dealers. The
Grocers' company first adopted the
word grocer in 1873, when the spicers
and pepperers allied themselves into a
single experimentation Express.

NOT A STUPENDOUS JOB

Northern knockers" and home "kckers" assume
that the Owens valley project is undertaking
similar in magnitude to that of the Panama canal They
alude to the length of the proposed aqueduct
tcally insurmounable difficulty. The plan Of conveying
the water by concrete conduit also is declared to be
impracticable and the whole scheme Is denounced
toe stupendous for Los Angeles
AS matter of fact there is not feature of engineer
ing difficulty in the Owens valley water proposition
is it relatively stupendous" The aqueduct will be-
approximately 24O miles long At the intake however
the elevation will be sufficient to insure gravity flow
to the city, thus avoiding formidable difficulty usually
encountered in conducting water long distances.
Note the difference in conditions between the Owens
valley water project and the Coogarde water system in
Australia The latter is thrtyinch pipe line $50 miles
long Nine pumping stations required the line and
the is raised thereby 1913 feet There is big
city of 100000 present inhabitants and several times
in prospect to handle the Coogarde water system
Only series of mining camps contribute to the cost of
that supply.
London is figuring on proposition to bring a
water supply from the Welsh mountains, 140 miles away,
and New York is working problems for tapping Lake
Champan and Lake Erie each about 300 miles from the
city. The Owens valley problem will be handled by

AUTO MAKERS CRY A HALT

The automobile makers have arisen against the freak

man-sayers they have cried halt
They have decided that the legitimate of the

the public outcry against its continual abuse
and their organ, The Motor Way. has come out force
fully for sanity in its operation Speaking Of outandish
speeding it says
at is high time we abandoned it. We have smashed
enough records drivers spectators bank accounts
popular good will and selfrespect We sports
men, not sports. We tradespeople; not commercial
highwaymen. We are not promoters of bull
fights cock fights gladiaoral contests thrilling,
killing hppodromes."
1t is safe to say that auto speeding must have
reached about it's limit when the makers of the machines
unite stop It, The speed maniac must be accepted
a public when the manufacturers themselves
find 1t necessary to call him to For there is
a big profit in high-speed auos-greater in proportion
than there is in the lowergeared machine.
But the auto manufacturers have the handwrit-
ing the wall and have caught the echoes of the
ragged protest up all the land They WISE
shrewd business men, who realize that the next step
will be recourse to controlling laws. Public opinion for
the is valuable against it the trade will
suffer. The big auto magnates have noted the danger
and are trying to offset it.
They too The outraged public has
already become, in many cases, law unto itself and
autosts have learned this to their sorrow.

WOOING THE SOUTHLAND

From the Sacramento newspapers we learn that an
inducing Southern California people settle the
Sacramento valley.
It seems as stated by the Sacramento Union, that
visits of inspection have already been made and others
to follow" Then, assuming that a considerable
migration from the southland is assured the Union
makes this forecast:
THE arrival of Southern Cafornians will be of I'M
mixed advantage to the valley, may reasonably
hope that it will be to themselves. They will bring with
them new ideas and they will be unhampered by the
customs and precedent that have far hindered
full development of the land and it's widest and most
profitable USE"
This is the first ntimation The Herald has received
of to invigorate the Sacramento valley by
fresh blood from the southland No is observ-
able however, why such infusion should not be beneficial
the valley Available farming land is in South
California and prices for it constantly advancing
Judging from of the Sacramento press the rich
valley of that is sadly in need of the energetic
push that characerzes the farmers in the southern part
OF the state.
Frankly speaking however, The Herald doubts the
feasibility of any plan to ence farmers from the south
land to any northern section People who lived
either the towns the country districts of Southern
California not inclined to go elsewhere. And If they
do leave the southland they likely to pine for it
again and to be unhappy until they return.
