A great many letters from Sena-
tor Gamble urging members Of the
last Legislature not TO pass the pri-
mary election law, are now finding
their way into print. The senator
should have remembered the advice
Of the wise politician who said.
"Never write for anything you want
done; 60 and ask for ii, and then il
the ideas Of the people change upon
the subject you can always have

The Mole Has Eyes.

The majority of people believe that
the mole is even "blinder' than the
proverbial bat, but the naturalists
know that such is not the case. Sir
john Lubbock and Carl Hess. the latter
a noted German naturalist. by careful
investigation proved that the mole has
eyes which are as perfect as those Of a
horse or an elephant. They are very
small optics, to be sure (only IL MILL
meter In diameter). but in the matter
of reflection and r~efraction do not diff
fer from the normal eyes in larger ami
mails.

AMOUNTING STONES.
A Custom That Was Very Common
Among the Ancients.

Among the Ancients.
The custom of amounting stones with
oil Genesis xviii, Is, 19) and leaving
them as memorial pillars or objects Of
worship was one that was very com
mon among the ancients. The stones
first w~orshiped were probably of mete.
oric origin, which, having been seen to
fall from heaven, were easily associat-
ed with some deity. In Roman mythol-
ogy Abadires was the name given 10 n
stone which was worshiped because ii
was the general belief that it had one
been swallowed by Saturn.
The standing images referred to as
being prohibited in Levitlcus (xxvi, y
are thought to have been these same
'anointed stones" In the light which
modern investigation has thrown upon
the curious customs of the early east
the act of Jacob, which is recorded at
the first S%criptural reference mention
ed in this note" is of special interest
as showing the mood of his mind and
heart after a nights entertainment of
such a gracious and blessed vision. To
this day the amounted stones of the
orient are called bactylia. which Bo-
chart suggests may be derived from
Bethel, where Jacob first anointed a
pillar as a sacred memorial.

In the following April II party of gen.
tlemen at Woburn abbey entered into
an engagement TO forfeit a certain
sum of money if any of them wore
their hair tied or powdered within a
certain period.
Nevertheless the Tories regarded with
distrust persons who did not use hair
powder. So late as 1920 a certain
Major Cox of Derby. an excellent Tory.
declined to allow his son TO become a
pupil of a well known clerical tutor,
for the reason that the clergyman did
not powder and that he wore his haiI
short, which suggested that he must be
a dangerous revolutionist.

1t has been said that success consists
in getting that at which one aims, and
being happy in it. Each n should
have an ideal of what Is to be the ex-
preston of his or her life. If this is at

be called successful. Hence, the sue

has succeeded fairly well in shaping
the actual life In accordance with the
ideals Of life. This requires a strength
and persistence that call for continual
struggle. 1t forms the highest achieve
