If we do not think much Of the Chi
naman we have TO admit that he is
bright. The Chinese scholars were
making proverbs when our forbears
were plodding in the dark, and all
nations have learned much of China
because once she was a leader in
learning, science and invention 1t
doesn't seem as If she ever was, but
they were old at studying stars be-
fore we had begun; they invented
the compass by which navigators have
ever since found their way across
oceans and explorers their way
through woods and over frozen waters
to the pole; and they were the inven-
tors of gunpowder. which has been so
useful to other nations in preying up
on one another, and in partitioning
the Chinese empire itself. And cen
turtles ago a Chinaman wrote, ITO
know others is wisdom, ami to know
yourself is enlightenment" We are
still paying too little attention to
both. China has played her part in
the affairs of life and it is doubtful if
the nations could have got along with
out her.

1t is a pity that most of mans
early life is spent in learning things
he has to unlearn later on. When we
become mature we look back, con-
scious of how little our early instruc-
tors knew. They did the best they
could with the light they had. but we
absorbed their errors and have spent
a deal of time in correcting them.
Quite a number of positive facts of
years ago have nothing now to rest
on This is true of science, and of
religion. We think that we are doing
better now, but it is not so apparent
that we are. Every generation has
a conceit that 1t is wiser than the
generation which preceded it: but ev-
cry new generation looks back upon
old-fashioned folks who did the best
they knew. The blind lead the blind
good deal on this earth. and 1t is
such a constant thing that it seems
almost to have become the fashion.
So many contradictions are labeled
'the truth" that life looks often to
a sharp observer like rummage sale.

A good many years ago I used to
hear a good parson preach who walked
up the Imagination of his hearers If
they had any. He used to talk a great
deal about the beauties of nature and
tell us how God, sent down his angels
to color the f1owers-to put the bloom
upon the plum and the blush upon the
peach, and being somewhat afraid
was not qualified to make that kind Of
an angel, l used to hope I should be
one to sit upon a cloud and hold a
harp as l had seen them do in pic
lures. We did not know as much
about crystalline surfaces, the refrac-
ton of light and the changeability of
color then as now-we did not know
that color took on brightness or dull
ness according to the light and the
way. it played upon these surfaces,
whether they were vegetable or metal
lie. and we used to be filled with won
der over the secret wisdom of the
man who preached when it was simply
poetic license-beautiful guesses in
stead of substantial facts. Ignorance
masquerades as wisdom often in this
world without the sham being discov-
cred.

We think that we bring our children
up honest, of course. We mean to;
but do we? When we make that little
one, be it boy or girl, slide down in
the seat to appear less than five, think
you he gets a moral object lesson
from it? Children often form con-
illusions as correctly as adults. Man
is given to Misrepresentation without
a qualm. / sometimes think that the
little fellow who is given a nickel
for himself and a nickel for God
when he goes to Sunday school and
loses Gods nickel on the way, may
be one of these little trained scrooch-
ers who know how to appear less
than five to dodge a fare. Those little
ones we teach tricks do not need any
training of that kind; and don't you
think man would average more honest,
if even in juvenility he was devoid Of
these obpect lessons which are so cum
ming that we laugh about them?

The presence of ants herding plant
lice upon the Glory of Lyons dahlia
and also upon the seeds of the Mar
wells of Peru is something entirely
new in my garden. We expect to find
them by millions on the stalks of the
golden glow and in countless numbers
on the geraniums or even upon the
roses. These are black ones, which in
dictate that they are a different tribe,
and there are five generations in a
season and every female has hundred
born to her, for they do not lay eggs
like most insects. The brood in the
spring is the only one that has any
males, and this brood of males fer
tilize these successive generations of
females. They exude honey dew upon
the leaves and the ants accompany
them as cleaners, and their relation is
so close that ants have been figured
as herding the aphides as man herds
cows. It is a pretty imaginative pic
ture, but il is doubtful il they do it
in the same intelligent way.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

To be we'll born in this world is to
have a promising start, and to be well
endowed with sense is to be fully
equipped for its emergencies. The con-
.ceit that we are self made is a halluci-
nation, for there are so many contrib
utive sources for the making of real
man that no one can take unto himself
full credit. A sensible mother can
start her boys right from a howell
while senseless one puts a blight
upon hers in a palace. The seed of
enduring manhood lies in loyalty to
abiding principles and the industrial
habits which produce joy from labor
and annihilate dull care. Experience
is the teacher of the man of the world
and hard knocks his leavening exercise.
He meets conditions and overcomes
them, and is rounded out by the incl
dents Of life. not by his assumptions
The. man who boasts of being self made
is blind to the developing processes
which tell for manhood and for attain
ment.

palton,s Experiment.

The English chemist Dalton was a

laboratory and with crude apparatus
mostly made by himself from simple
materials. Here is an example describ.
ed in his own words:

and three inches deep; filed 1t with
water that had been standing I'm the

the thermometer to the bottom Of the

Then, having marked the temperature
put the redhot tip of the poker half
an inch deep In the water, holding II
there steadily for half minute and
as soon as it was withdrawn I dipped
the bulb of sensible thermometer
into the water, when it rose in a few
seconds to $50 degrees"
He then determined the temperature
OF the water at the bottom after five
minutes, after twenty minutes and aft
er an hour and found that ii rose grad.

simple experiment proved that water

Largest Crop of Potatoes

''The indications are that Mich
igan will produce the largest crop OF
potatoes in it's history" says the Of
ficers of the Farmers Society OF
Equity Furthermore, the reports
indicate that other heavy producing
sections promise heavy yield so
that the United States will probably
produce a record-breaking crop.
Early crops in Southern states
sold as low as 25 cents, and buyers
throughout Michigan are predict
ing that they will purchase the yield
at that same price or less. How
ever the Farmers Society of Equity
has determined otherwise. "How
can fair and equitable prices be
guaranteed to the growers and cons
sumers and the maximum consump-
ton, consequently the maximum
market, be secured? How can the
splendid potato crop of 1909 be
made profitable to the growers ana
the greatest blessing to consumers
through supplying them cheap,
wholesome food?" These are the
questions asked by Pres. w. e. Grei-
Itch, of the Farmers Society of
Equity in issuing a call for a meet
ing to be held Sept. IS, at Traverse

ton has practical plan, and the

Dr. Zaharin required the same prep

door thrown wide open. He left his
furs in the hall, his overcoat in the
next room, his galoches in the third,
and, continuing, arrived at the bedside
in ordinary indoor costume. He sat
down after walking every few yards
and every eight steps In going up
