With the prospect of Indian rebel. lion seeking expression of hated rule in assassination. Great Britain can now sympathize with Russia in that country's terrorist agitation by the anarchists. Hitherto England has been safe from attacks by this class, on ac- count of the comparative asylum af- forded them. Now the danger has come from another source, and the nation has awakened with a shock from it's dream of immunity from DO htieal assassins.

Extreme summer heat is very hard thing to bear and entails real suffering, but the number of deaths and prosTadons from the heat bear a very small proportion to the total population. This is fact which ought to encourage people to cultivate en- durance, which really Iessens the af- aiction as much as worry and dwe' ling upon it increases suffering.

A mite"

The difficulties experienced by our
forefathers in trying to reckon money
in very small proportions appear In
the various values given to a mite"
in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen
fury books Of commercial arithmetic.
The original mite seems to have
been a third of Flemish penny. but
the use of the word for the widows
coin of the New Testament made Its
regular English meaning half far
thing, and some old people may re-
member applying the name to the
short lived nineteenth century coins
of that value In those old arithmetic
books mite stands for various val
ues not represented by actual coins,
but obviously used in reckoning. A
work of 17O6 makes it one-twelfth or
a penny, two sixteenth century books
one-sixth of a farthing, and in 1914
Jeake's arithmetic made It as little
as one sixty-fourth Of a penny.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

Health as q Primary Factor In intslfi-
gent Living.
Health and success are so largely
dependent upon balance, upon SYM
metry Of development, physical and
mental harmony, that we should do
everything possible to secure that
physical poise which also means men
tai and moral poise. A large part OF
our ills come from one sided develop
ment, caused by oversimulating some
tissue cells and starving others-over-
feeding and undertaking. Scientific
feeding, therefore, is Of vast impor-
lance.
Overeating and improper eating are
among the curses of the world. Think
of the people who put all sorts OF in
compatibles into their stomachs at the
same time and then use all sorts OF
nostrums to get rid Of their bad et-
fects.
One of the most pathetic sights In
the world is that of human being
struggling hard to carry out his am
bition, yet handicapping himself BY
his ignorance of physical laws.
What a pathetic figure Carlyle cut
in the world-a one sided giant who
might have been a symmetrical power.
possessor of a colossal brain largely
controlled by dyspeptic stomach: He
was cross and Grabbed and did just
the things that he did not want to do.
things that he knew it would be bet
ter not to do, but he was the victim
of starved nerves. of exhausted brain
cells largely for want of common sense

Heroic Treatment.

In Guiana if a child is slow in It's
movements the parents apply an ant
to the child instead Of whip to make
it move faster This little ant bites
more cruelty than mosquito, and its
bite is apt to be troublesome after
ward. AS you can imagine, this treat
ment does not make the child kind to
others. and the children Of Guiana are
said to be particularly cruel to AMI

reckon their age by years. but by their

What the White Men Charged Thorn
Y For Killing One Donkey.
In "Reminiscences Of Old Times In
Tennessee'''a story is told of the good
faith and honor Of party of Chicka-
saw Indians. While hunting one fail
they shot donkey, mistaking the
creature for wild animal. They sold
the hide. and it finally came to the
hands of John Barnes in Upton.
When the Chickasaws returned to
the region of Upton for their annual
hunt the next fall Barnes invited them
to shooting match, the prize to be
the skin Of very rare animal.
Thirty braves appeared at the con-
test, and one Of them won the prize.
When be saw the skin he turned it
over and said: "Ha, ha! Me kill him!
Me shoot him! See" And he pointed
to the fatal bullet hole.
Then Barnes told them that they had
killed donkey. very useful animal.
but be was sure that they had done it
by mistake, believing It to be wild
animal.
The Indians listened attentively to
the white mans words and then con-
suited together a few minutes. Finally
they separated, each brave going to his
pony, unhitching him and leading him
to the spot where gang Of white men
stood. Barnes in the midst Of them.
Then one of the Indians spoke:
I'VE sorry we kill donkey. We think
he belong to the woods. We find him
in cane. We think him wild. We sor-
ry. Now we pay. We take no white
mans boss, pony. nothing Of white
man. We honest. We have ponies:
that's all. Take pay" And be mo-
toned to the long line of ponies, held
by their owners.
"How many?" asked Barnes.

dian: take plenty"
The honor OF the red men was not
equaled by the white men, for, be 1t
recorded to their shame. they took
from the Chickasaws thirty-f1ve ponies

"Our son, two years old, was very
much afflicted with a breaking out or
what looked to be a summer rash. I
applied the usual remedies, such as
washing with soda water and powdering
with boric acid. Finally, after he suf-
fered with the trouble several weeks I
took him to the doctor. He said it was
merely rash that was quite prevalent,
and that I was giving, the right treat
ment and that I should just continue it
and the baby would soon be all right.
But instead Of getting better it was get
ting worse. The rash ran together and
made large blisters. The little fellow
didn't want to do anything but scratch
and we had to wrap his hands up to
keep him from it as he would tear the
flesh open till the blood would run. The
itching was intense, causing loss OF appe-
tite and flesh. When it seemed to hurt
him most the skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark Of a tree 80

break it. He was so feverish that l
thought it bad case Of eczema. He
could not wear any clothes but little

at international Peace Congress.
Germ Of tho Idea In Other Bodies.
Political organization OF the world
as a pertinent and practical topic for
present times will be the principal SUBJ
ject Of discussion at the meeting or
the international peace congress at
Stockholm, Aug. 20 to Sept. 5. This
determination was reached at ses-
sion of the Berne bureau in Boston,
the official body having in charge the
arrangements for the congress. The
vote of the bureau was upon this point:
Further, it is concluded that at fu-
ture congresses only one great ques-
ton shall be placed in the foreground.
For this year it is the question OF In
ternational organization"
Edwin D. Mead, one of the four
American members of the Berne bu-
reau-the others are Samuel 7. Dut-
ton of New York, DR.. BENJAMIN F..
Trueblood of Boston, secretary OF the
American Peace society, and Mrs
Belva A. Lockwood-says that the pre-
else meaning of international organ
ization" is political organization Of the
world as a single body. just the same
as the subject of resolutions adopted
in 1908 by the Massachusetts, legisla-
ture. This idea has been also in the
minds Of some, at least, of the Mo-
honk delegates who have repeatedly
in the Mohonk platform Endorsed the
proposition Of an international legis-
lative body and have even indicated
The Hague conferences as the germ out
Of which the true world legislature
would probably be developed. At the
meeting Of the Berne bureau at which
the above vote was adopted were
some twenty members, including Eng
lishmen, Frenchmen and Germans.
One of them was Senator La Fontaine
of Belgium, leader in the movement
for universal peace.
First Discussion of Question.
This will be the first time that a
body Of representatives Of many ma
lions, even though unofficial, has ever
discussed such a subject. Some writ
ers have seen resemblance between
this discussion and that at the great
peace congresses Of 1s4S, 1S49 and 1850
at Brussels. Paris and Frankfort re-
spectively, where Elihu Burritt urged
his plan for a congress of nations and
establishment of high court Of JUS
tice. Mr.. Burritt even used the ex-
rrossion ssan International 1ppiSlat 1lre >
but his plan was as Mr.. Mead said in
the Old South Leafet, No. 146, contain
ing Burritt's addresses at these places,
finally realized at The Hague"
What Burritt and his fellow workers
had in mind was single gathering OF
delegates, like that Of The Hague in
1899, to formulate code Of interna-
tional law or method Of procedure for
all nations b. the authority OF all ma

the nations are merely Keeling rGeir
way to this solution of the problem Of
world unity. On the part Of the men
taking part in the conferences the dis.
position is not to rush natural progress
Of events. but to recognize the true
nature Of what is in progress and to
promote it.
Idea Advanced In America.
Much has been done in the United
States to advance this idea of world
political unity. Perhaps the Mohonk
platforms have been most conspicuous,
representative and authoritative. But
the Massachusetts legislature in 1908.
following a beginning in 1902, adopted
unanimously In each branch resolu-
tons for q regular international con-
gress. Eminent Endorsement Of the
idea was made soon after by leading
Pennsylvania jurists and business
men. The Universal Peace union has
favored it. The American Peace So
ciety has been at the front Of the ef-
fort. The National Congregational
council gave it it's formal approval,
and several religious bodies adopted
resolutions in its favor.
The interparliamentary union at its
session at st. Louis in September. 1904.
gave strong approval and really took
the initiative toward calling the second
Hague conference. The Massachusetts
state board Of trade Endorsed it unani-
mously. The Greenacre fellowship
urged support of the United States del
egation at The Hague in 1907. In
stances might be named further where
the idea has received support in the
United States.
While this movement has been taken
up and emphasized by the leaders in
the peace movement. 1t did not origi-
nate there. but as a phase OF world
politics. 1t is true that the peace peo-
Die now believe that their cause can be
best promoted by discussion Of the po-
litical organization of the world. but in
the nature Of the movement there Is
no reason why men who believe In
arms as a means Of securing peace be-
tween nations should not join in the
effort to secure a system Of world
courts which will make wars impossi-
Bile and will further organize legisla-
tive and executive departments for
promotion of general welfare. But
whatever the outcome Of the discus
sion and whatever of future impor-
lance is wrapped up in the proposed
program, it is for the first time def
nitely announced that great interna-
tional gathering will discuss for its
main subject the organization OF the
human race as a single political body.

Old Book Terms.

The words folio. quarto. octave. duo
decimo and the like have almost If not
quite lost their original meaning. At
first they had reference only to the
number Of leaves into which the sheets
used in making the books were folded.
Thus if these sheets were folded once
so as to form two leaves or four pages
the book was called folio; If the
sheets were folded twice so as to form
four leaves the book was called a
quarto; If they were folded four times
so as to form eight leaves the book
was called an octave, and so on.
