What Is n Gentleman?

Among the Persiars at the time Of
Cyrus the boys were taught to ride,
to speak the truth and to draw the
bow. That meant nlaniiness, truth
fulness and courage, all essential to
the character of a gentleman. The
knights of chivalry, who were the
gentlemen of their time, added the
duty of rescuing the oppressed and
distressed, and this completed the
ideal by teaching unselfshness and
service. Il a boy is taught to be al
ways self-respecting, courageous and
truthful and invariably considerate,
not outwardly but as the expression
of true kindness of spirit, of the
rights and feelings of others he will
grow up, whether he be rich or poor,
a professional man or a laborer, to
have the right to claim not by any
artificial distinction but in his own
right, with all that it implies, "the

Origin OF the Halo.

In the public places in Athens one Of
two thousand years ago the Greeks
set up the statues of their gods and
goddesses. To guard against the
possibilities of the rain staining the
marble faces their masterpieces they
used to protect each with large
metal plate at the top Of the head.
These were mistaken by the preraph-
aelite painters for emblems of div
Unity. Accordingly to this day we see
around the pictured heads Of our
Christian saints the curious little ring
which is known as the halo.

THE SNEEZE
In Past Ages 1t Played a Very Inn
portant Part In Life.


Many odd notions still exist as to
sneezlng, and some persons may be
heard to exclaim BLESS. my soul,
oncew BLESS my soul, twice. and so
on after each sneeze But In past
ages the sneeze really played a very
important part.
In ancient Greece the people saluted
each other whenever any one present
CHANGED to sneeze AS Xenophon was
addressing the Greek army in a mo-
ment of defeat on a historical occa-
sion a soldier sneezed. The lines Of
battle were formed at once, for the
sneeZe was deemed good omen, and
the Greeks were successful.
Among the Hebrews when person
sneezed the bystanders would say,
''Tobinz chalim"-"A long life TO you"
In India criminals on the rack of tor
ture have saved their own lives by
sneezing accidentally.
A humorous story about sneezing Is
told In that wonderful collection Of
oddities, THE Arabian Nights" A
schoolmaster was particular In teach
Ing his pupils the value of polteness.
He also told them that whenever he
sneezed they should clap their hands
and say, Long live our noble master"
One day master and pupils went out
for stroll. The air was hot and all
soon grew very thirsty. Great was
their JOY at last to find we'll. But
the bucket was at the bottom of the
well, and so the schoolmaster went
down to bring 1t up. The boys seized
the rope and tugged for dear life. Just
as the schoolmaster reached the top OF
the we'll he sneezed. The boys let go
the rope and clapped their hands, shout
ing, Long live our noble master.
AS for the poor schoolmaster, he fell
to the bottom of the well, where he
may be to this day, for all one knows

The power of waves, says NJ. Brou-
min In La Nature is the sum of two eff
forts, one dynamic and due to the or
bital movement of the water particles,
the other static and dependent on the
height of the center of gravity of the
mass raised above its normal position.
Theory and observation seem to show
that the total power of waves Is dlvid-
ed equally between these static and
dynamic effects. If body of water
meets the wall Of a structure there is a
shock, and this is most violent at the
water surface, diminishing with the
depth. At the moment of meeting jets
of water rise sometimes to very great
heights.
