SCIENCE and Morality.

The true student of the professional
or technical school becomes heir to q
comprehensive and clear understand
Ing of his duties and responsibilities in
his relations to his fellow men and to
the community. Those duties and re-
sponsibilities present themselves to his
trained mind in their real proportion.
He is neither nondeveloped nor malde-
yeloped in his judgment of affairs. His
university training. especially in the
technical school, has taught him accu-
racy and penetration in the analysis of
any proposition confronting him and
that truth and knowledge must be
sought with the directness Of plumb
line. Science yields nothing but con-
fusion to the shifty. devious and dis
honest inquirer. The fundamentals Of
morality are the very stepping stones
to technical success or professional at
tainment-Scientific American.

A SENSE OF DIRECTION.
The Prime Requisite For Making =
True WOodsman.

The Prime Requisite For Making a
True Woodsman.
A sense of direction | should name
as the prime requisite for him who
would become a true woodsman, de-
pending on himself rather than on
guides. The faculty is largely devel-
oped of course by much practice, but
1t must be Unborn. Some men possess
it; others do not just as some men
have a mathematical bent, while to
others figures are always despair. 1t
is a sort of extra, having nothing to
do with criterions of intelligence or
mental development. like the repeater
movement in a watch. A highly edu-
Gated, cultured man may lack it; the
toughest possess it. Some who have
never been in the woods or mountains
acquire in the space of a vacation a
fair facility at picking way and /
have met few who have spent their
lives on the prospect trail and who
were still and always would be as
helpless as the newest city dweller.
1t is a gift, a talent. If you have its
tiniest germ you can become a trav-
eler of the wide and lonely places.
If you have it not you may as well
resign yourself to guides-Stewart Ed
ward White in Outing Magazine.

A PnzzIeh author.

When Alphonse Daudet brought out
"Sappho" an American publishing
house that issued religious books, not
knowing its character. offered NJ Dau-
Diet large sum for advance sheets Of
the work. He accepted the offer, and
the advance sheets were sent. When
the publishers received them they de-
cided that they could not issue the
book. and they cabled to the author,
" 'Sappho' will not do" This dispatch
puzzled Daudet. He consulted with
numbers of friends. and this was the
conclusion at which they eventually
arrived: "Sappho'' in French Is spelled
with one ''p'-"Sapho." after the Greek
fashion. In English It is spelled with
two. An unusually acute friend point
ed this out to Daudet. which much re-
lieved the novelist. and he cabled back
to the publishers. Spell 1t with two
p's." 1t is needless to state that the
publishers were more astonished at
Daudet's reply than he had been at
their cable dispatch

WOMAN'S ORIGIN,
The Story as 1t Is Told In an Oh
Sansxrit Legend,

Ine StOfy as II Is rOAQ In an UN4
Sanskrit Legend,
Tradition says there was scarcity
of solid elements at the time of her
creation,
At the beginning of time Twashtn
the Vulcan of the IIindoo mythology,
created the world, but when he wished
to create woman he found that he
had employed all his material in the
creation of man. There did not re-
main one solid element. Then Twash-
tri, perplexed, fell into profound med
itation. He reused himself as follows:
He took the roundness of the moon,
the undulations Of the serpent, the in
twining of climbing plants, the trem-
bling of the grass, the slenderness Of
the rose vine and the velvet of the
flower, the lightness of the leaf and
the glance of the fawn, the gayety of
the suns rays and tears of the mist,
the Inconsistency of the wind and the
timidity of the hare, the vanity of the
peacock and the softness of the down
on the throat of the swallow, the hard
ness of the diamond, the sweet flavor
of honey and the cruelty of the tiger,
the warmth of fire, the chill of snow,
the chatter of the jay and the cooling Of
the turtledove. He united all these
and formed a woman. Then he made
a present of her to man.
Eight days later the man came to
Twashtri and said:
"My lord, the creature you gave me
poisons my existence. She chattes
without rest, she takes all my time,
she laments for nothing at all and Is
always ILL.," ..
And Twashtri received the woman
again. ..=..
But eight days later the man came
again to the god and said:
"My lord, my life is very solitary
since | returned this creature. | rp-
member she glanced at me from the
corner of her eye, and she played with
me, chung to me-"
And Twashtri returned the woman
to him.
Three days only passed, and Twashtri
saw the man coming to him again
my lord" said he, 81 do not under
stand exactly how, but | am sure the
woman causes me more annoyance
than pleasure beg of you to relieve
me of her."
But Twashtri cried, Go your way
and do your best!"
And the man cried, II cannot live
with hery
"Neither can you live without her."
replied Twashtri.
And the man was sorrowful, muir
muring: "Woe is me! can neither
live with her nor without her."-Chica-
go RecOrd-H erald.

A SOURCE OF DISEASE.
Beware the Man Who Blows Smoke
Through His NostriIs.

Through HIS NOBIr1ABs
A popular practice of many smokers
consists in discharging the smoke In
hailed, especially from cigarettes,
through the nostrils. This is even
considered by some to be essential to
the full enjoyment of the flavor Of the
tobacco.
The London Lancet. while acknowl-
edging that perhaps under ordinary
circumstances no harm is done to the
smoker save to his sense of smell. has
sounded a note of warning against the
habit as a possible dissemination of dis
ease. Hay fever and other annoying
complaints have been spread through
unsuSpecting households by the un.
thinking visitor who habitually blew
smoke through his nose.
The surface traversed by the tobacco
smoke before issuing from the nose, it
Is remarked by the Lancet, is mois-
tened with the natural secretion of the
mucous membrane lining it. and this
secretion is mingled with the fluid dis
charged from the conjunctival sac pro-
tecting the eyes. 1t therefore contains
numerous micro organisms. which.
floating in the air, have become attach
ed to the moist and stick surface Of
the conjunctiva. as well as those which
pass over the surface of the nasal
membrane. AS Tyndall long ago show
ed, germs are completely filtered off
from the air inhaled by the extensive
and irregular surfaces presented by
the turbinal bones. These germs are
carried into the air by the man who
blows smoke through his nostrils.

palm OIL" synonym for graft" is
not at all a novelty in this sense. In
1927 Middleton wrote that palm oil
will make a pursuivant relent." The
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
reveled in varieties OF the metaphor.
Greene speaks of rubbing palms with
"the ollie of angels" a humorous allu-
sion to the coin named after the an
gelic figure stamped upon it, and ''oil
Of angels" seems to have been quite q
common joke in England. Another
writer has a reference to Amounting
an ecclesiastic in the fist with Indian
oyle." Both amounting" and 'greas-
ing" were frequently used to mean
bribing, even without special mention
of the hand as the part creased. Dry

CLOTHES IN KOREA.
Changed According to the Caller kds
and Not the Weather.

Changed According to the Caller GaF
and Not the Weather.
A characteristic of the Koreans
q nation was the fact that they were
guided wholly by precedent. When a
new situation presented they did not
cope with it in the light of the day
they were living, but were guided en-
tirely by the old saws and the ancient
maxims of wise men who had been
dead a thousand years or so. A strik-
ing illustration of this national trait
was furnished in the matter OF their
wearing apparel, which was changed
according to an ancient calendar and
without any regard to the temperature
Of the day.
Korea is a land of great extremes of
heat and cold, and the man who draft
ed the calendar by which all clothing
is changed, though a Chinese sage, it
is said, was not a success as a weather
prophet, unless, as some maintain, the
climate in the course Of the hundreds
of years which have elapsed has chang
ed. When the calendar announces now
begins the period of greatest cold the
conservative Korean, although the air
may be soft and balmy, pads out his
white garments with six or seven
thicknesses Of cotton wadding, until
the thin man becomes a fat man and
the stout party swells up to such enor~
nous size as to block up the streets
when he walks, or, rather, rolls, abroad.
Again, though spring and early sum-
mer may have come and the heat pre-
vailing be almost tropical, the Korean
swelters about in his wadded clothing
In perspiring veneration Of his heredi-
tary calendar.-New York Herald.

''The function that the framing Of

acter which it consequently should
have are so obvious that seemingly
they ought not to be so easily and so
often lost to view, as in reality they
are" says Frederick W. Coburn in the
international Studio. "a pictorial COM
position should, of course, be inclosed
by frame Of such sort that its at
Effectiveness will be enhanced and that
an agreeable transition will be estab-
lished between it and its surroundings.
Although the frame may in and for IT.
self be beautiful, its beauty must be
kept distinctly subservient to the aes-
hetic value Of the picture. In no event
may 1t be positively ugly. If machine
construction Is necessarily involved,
this must at least be made as unobjec-
tionable as possible. However, the

CLAIMS, EGGS.

The CLAIMS eggs are carried by the
mother on her gills. When there are
fish in the water with them the mother
clans discharge the eggs which soon
hatch, but if there are no fish they
carry the eggs until they decay. The
reason Of this strange behavior is this:
When the eggs are set free in the
water they soon hatch and the little
ones swim about until they find some
fish to which to attach themselves
They live for a time on the mucus OF
the fish and then drop off, sink to the
bottom and form burrows for them
selves. This curious semiparasitic life
Is no doubt reversion to the habit of
some ancient ancestor.

Turkeys Way OF Raising Revenue.
The land in all Turkey and her de-
tendencies belongs to the reigning sui
tan and is only occupied at his will. It
is divided among those who wish to
cultivate it at nominal rental of one
fifth of the produce, which goes direct
ly to the crown. Three-tifths more are
taken from the lessee on other pre-
texts, all for the maintenance Of the
government, the pasta in each district
having the authority to lease the
ground and collect the taxes, which
may be in kind or money. If crops are
short, they take four-fifths of all the
man has in animals and even in house
hold utensils, sometimes all his posses
sions, to make up the deficiency which
Providence has withheld. Everything
that can produce, be it a tree, beast,
fowl, worm or the labor of man and
his family, is subject to the four-fifths
tax. Those who toll at any labor or
trade other than agriculture are taxed
also pro rata according to their wages
and must pay or go to prison.-Pear-
sons Weekly.
