last, but not least, their intellectual
| SHORTCOMINGS
From time since the memory OF
man rnuneth not to the contrary" and
IN the majority of cases in our own
time, parents train their children ac-
cording to the training they had them
selves; In consequence, and just so long
as people will build social and relig-
| ious fences around themselves, hate
VIII remain a mental characteristic
This characteristic, however, Is not
found an one of more or less unlim-
tied intelligence, but in those who, for
one reason or another, do not cultivate
their within.
There Is no poison I know of in the
whole materia medica or vegetable
Kingdom that destroys as quickly and
relentlessly the finer nature of an in
dlvidual, however limited 1t may be,
as hate. Hate, by reason of it's finite
origin, polsons the mind and literally
consumes the individual. 1t is for
eign poison, and like any other poison,
when once taken 1t does It's deadly
work. Hate has caused and will cause
more misery and destroy more races
and natiops than the most deadly arm
aments human ingenuity can invent.
1 have said above that love Is natural,
and hate, the counterpart of love, is
unnatural. Does 1t not follow that one
can easily cultivate a mental state of
| love? Personally / cannot understand
how reasonable individual can culti-
vate n mental state of hate at all.
However, 1t is in our mldst-we see IT.,
we feel 1t. 1t Is poison that cannot he
readily eradicated, but will be in time.
Mankind is getting wiser and, as COM
pared with the past, its members are
more honest with themselves.
Mankind is sadly in need of honest
teachers, who know how to and do
teach their fellow men to cultivate
| mental states of love. / can think of
nothing that can be cultivated as easily
and with as sure am effect as mental
states of love. Cultivation of love Is
not subject to the elements of nature,
but only to the disposition of the indi-
vidual. Love is the most precious gift
| that man or woman can cultivate. Love
always finds a ready market, so to
speak. There is not a spot on earth
that does not harbor weary soul try
ing to find its affinity, for the purpose
of drinking the spirit of love. Love Is
| the most sacred gift man can boast of
at any time on EARTH therefore culti-
vate it-give it away. You will find
that the more you cultivate of it the
more you will have not only for your
selves but for your fellow men also.
Let no one ever forget that the uni
verse is extant because something or
somebody loves 1t. The Infinite power
| that rules the universe loves it. There
is love everywhere in nature. Every
time we breathe we inhale love; but,
alas, the hate extant in many-too
many-lndividuals consumes it faster
than they inhale it. Love mankind
however unkind some may be to you.
Try it-practice 1t, and you will find
that your worst enemies will at heart
love you in return. Again I say culti-
vate, practice and radiate love. Once
cultivated, you will not part with your
mental state of love for all the material
riches the universe contains.

finally been informed he would be

mentioned the matter to one OF his
friends who lived near him. Explain
ing that he had a few pounds In the
bank, the exact sum unknown, he re-
quested his friend to stop at the bank
on the way to business TO ascertain
what was required to make his ac-
count good for a check of slightly over
800. and to deposit that amount for
him as a loan The friend was quite
willing. and in due time stood at tGc

The Elevator Eyes.

One of the greatest hardships suffer
ed by men who run elevators in the
tall Office buildings downtown is the
bad effect it has on their eyes. The
cars are run at a high rate of speed
and, as the men have to look straight
ahead of them most of the time, their
eyes soon feel the strain of the con-
slant motion.

marked one of these elevator men,

Now Zealana's Vegetable Caterpillar Is
Most Peculiar Plant.
The most extraordinary object have
ever seen is the New Zealand vegetable
caterpillar The rata is parasite
creeper which first destroys its forest
host and then brushes it to death and,
usurping its skeleton, becomes n tree
itself. II the rata Seeding is dug up
1t is found TO be springing not from a
seed. but from the head of perfectly
formed caterpillar.
1t is supposed by some that the
caterpillar, which on dissection proves
to be internally the exact counterpart
of its living insect relative, swallows
the tiny rata seed while living and
burrowing into the ground. becomes,
instead of a chrysalis, the terminating
home of the seed, which by some
agency turns its unfortunate foster
mother into wood.
Others, however, contend the cater
pillar itself is produced by the rata,
urging in support of their theory that
If springing from a seed the shoot
would grow out of different parts of
the caterpillar instead of invariably
growing out of the head.
