Inc Hessian Fly.

Few people know that the Hess1an
fly is one Of the Oldest Of all the crop
pests in THIS country, and that its
name was given to it as result of the
fact that it was brought to the United
States IN the straw included in the
impedimenta Of the Hessian troops
sent over against the American revo-
lutiOnists by George III in 1776. 1t
was first noticed on Long Island, about
l25 years ago, and since has spread
co-extensiyely with the progress of civ
iizatiOn and wheat growing west,
north and south. Sometimes il COM
Qletely destroys the growing wheat in
certain sections, and the average loss
1t causes is about 100000 bushels
annually. or about or per cent of the
total crop.-Success Magazine.

Surprise for Isl" Shurtleff.

To Josiah Shurtleff, who, among his
friends, is known as "Si," came the
following interesting but embarrassing
experience:
1t was during the first term Of Mr.
Shurtleh's service on the Revere
school board. and the occasion was his
visit to a first grade in a primary
school. The teacher was hearing a
reading class. The first sentence OF
the lesson was as follows: "Oh, fe,
what sly boy you are!"
Turning to one small boy, who
seemed eager, she said: Daniel, you
may read"
Whereupon the lad, in a piping
voice. read this somewhat startling
statement: ooh. ST. what a fly boy
you are!"-Boston Herald.

John Hay No faddist.

The late John Hay" said a Chica-
goan, had no belief in fads. He held
that we Americans, in our impetuosity
we're given to fads overmuch. 1t was
this one trait in us alone that would
ever suffice TO shake Mr.. Hay out of
his exquisite equanimity.
He was walking with me one day
in London. At Hyde Park corner a
vegetarian from Frisco Joined us, and.
as we strolled onward, this vegetarian
talked hotly about the evils of meat
eating, trying, it seemed, 70 convert
Mr.. Hay and me TO his fad
Mr. Hay listened patiently for
quite half an hour. Then suddenly,
he stopped short. He thumped the
pavement with his walking stick. He
pointed eastward.
There he said, stands Piccadilly.
There il has been for hundreds Of
years. And there It Will be wnen you

Thought She Had Twins.

Just outside Of Berlin a crowd Of
Somerset young folks on their way to
White Horse were attracted by the
bawlng of a COW whose calf had got
down over an embankment. The calf
was returned TO its mothers side and
one Of the young men was telling his
girl how the COW actually licked his
hand in gratitude when she told him
that it wasn't gratitude at all, the COW
only thought she had twins.-Meyers-

Whom DR.. Reed Was Addressing.

The late Thomas B. Reed told the
writer the following story:
DR.. Reed of Indianapolis, who was
in Congress at one time. was opening
the Sunday morning service at his
church with the usual prayer. While
he was in the midst of the prayer a
stranger entered the church and took
a seat far back.

a Little STUDY OF
A Little Known Man,
Herbert Spencer.
Lucy Larcom.

Scientific day with the Coterie, Wed
nesday. served TO bring out facts OF IN
terest to all. Do fancy that you glance
at scientific Day" say dull and prosy
and look elsewhere? Will you allow
your attention to be held for moment
while Herbert Spencer's classical Essay
on Education" Is briefly quoted?
what knowledge is of most worth?
The uniform reply is Science. For that
indirect self preservation which We call
gaining a livelihood the knowledge OF
greatest value is Science. Alike for the
most perfect production and present en-
joyment of art in all its forms, the need
full preparation is still-Science.
Yet another moment OF your attention.
From the dullest and prcsiest processes
are evolved, slowly but surely, the illum-
mating flashes OF our choicest ethics.
From studies dry as dust come the
rounded sentences, the plays on words,
all the science of the grammarian and
the art Of the rhetorician which clothe
the inspiration of the student and orator
with expression. Why, think! Your
beautiful bit of embroidery or lace which
graces your person, your parlor or your
home, is composed Of hundreds OF
stitches, each carefully set yet very like
ly the beauty of the finished work, which
was first projected in some mind before
the first model was wrought, robbed the
process of much OF its tecium, and the
tangible evidence of your industry re-
lieved the otherwise dullness and prosi-
ness of the process.
And so must it be with they whose
minds are bent on seeking for immortal
truth. A lifetime Of devotion, with all
it's hours Of midnight toll and travail OF
the mind is more than repaid by re-
sultant synthetic Philosophy" which
is the marvel of the worlds greatest
minds.

Women Well Paid.

The salary of the woman buyer is
often exaggerated. but as matter of
fact it varies very much according TO
the department and the demands made
upon it. Many of them get $40 a week
or $4,000 a year, and here and there Is
one who gets a salary between $4,000
and $1,000 a year But while some
have large pay, there are more who
have not.

"Spencer's discoveries in electricity
have been most valuable, and it was by
building on his suggestions and seeing
with his prophetic eye that the Crooke's
tube, the Roentgen ray and the discov-
cry of radium have become possible.
The distinguishing feature of radium
is its o-activity, brought about
through its affinity for electricity. 1t
absorbs electricity from the atmosphere
and gives it off spontaneously in the
form of light and heat without appreci-
able loss of form or substance. Every
good thing in life is dual, and through
this natural and spontaneous marriage
of radium and electricity, we get very
close to the secret of life. As the sun is
the giver of life and death, so by the use
of the salts of radium have scientists Wit
allied certain forms of cell life into
growth and activity and by the same
token, and the use of the radium ray, do
they destroy the germs of disease.
by his prophetic vision, Spencer saw
years ago that we would yet be able to
eliminate and refine the substances of
earth until we found the element that
would combine spontaneously with cleo
triclty, and radiate life and heat Among
the very last letters dictated by Spencer,
only few days before his death, was one
to Nine. Curie congratulating her on her
discovery of radium, and urging her not
to relax in her further efforts to seek out
the secret of life. My only regret is.

Zone OF the most valuable of the many
great thought, evolved by Spencer was
on the Art of Meutation or brain build
ing. You cannot afford to fix your mind
on any form of fear, hate or revenge, for
the thoughts of these things are regis
tered 10 the brain, and the hell we create
for others, we ourselves eventually fall
into. That is to say, all thought and all
work-all effort-are for the doer primar-
lily, and as a man thinketh, so is be. A
metaphysician is one who proves 10
times what he believes; a scientist is one
who believes 10 times as much as he can
prove. Science speaks with lowered voice.
Before Spencer's time, German scientists
had discovered that the cell was the ana
tomical unit Of life, but it was FOR Spen.

mean new brain cells and every new ex-

What matter that Herbert Spencer
was born in England in 1920; that he
was the only child of his parents, his
mother dying in infancy, his education
uuconsciously gained through compan-
ionship with schoolteacher father and
clergyman uncle; that he lived solitary
and alone the years of his maturity and
old age, and that he also lived, and all
but died, poor as a church mouse. But,
and this does matter, the two men near
est to the embryo scientist and phlloso-
pher had, with small quantity or quality
of worldly goods, finely endowed minds
that found sermons in stones and filled
sky and earth with greatest interest for
the growing, expanding, unfolding mind
of the child who was their constant com
pauion.
1t matters so much that at Is years Of
age the boy Spencer, then an engineer,
invented shorter methods for bridges
and culverts and was the first engineer
in England to build cantilever railroad
bridge. He invented scheme for max
ing type; designed and planned with
painstaking, minute and elaborate care
another scheme for matchmaking.
These, only few of the many activi-
ties of his life, are only relative. What
is now gradually becoming accepted for
it's true worth and has for ages been seen
in fragments by the immortals, was put
in tangible form and substance by
Herbert Spencer. Do you smile at the
doctrine of good cheer? Do you laugh
or sneer at, or ignore or deny the power
of the mind? Quoting from Little
Journey" to his home is outlined phi
losophy which contains some of the most
important truths in our daily lives.

another great discovery of Herbert
Spencer was that the emotions control
the secretions, and the quality of the Sc
cretious determine the chemical changes
which constitute all cellular growth.
Thus, cheerful, happy emotions are sim
liar to sunshine-they stand for health
and harmony, and as such are construc.
tive. On the other hand, fear, hate and
all forms of unkindness evolve toxin
which tends to clog circulation, disturb
digestion, congest the secretioDs and
stupefy the senses. All that saddens,

they finally act automatically; and re

cised habit becomes character-and char

and good thoughts must be exercised
and these in time will replace, ifallowed
evil memories: aud when Herbert Spen-
Ger says that the process of doing away
with evil is not through punishment,
threat or injunction, but simply through
a change of activities-thus allowing the
bad to die through disuse-he states a
truth that is even now coloring our
