time of King John, while standing
upon the castle walls saw two bulls
fighting In the castle meadow till all

MAN AND MONKEY.
Difference Between tho Human and
Animal Method of Thought.

Difference Between the Human and
Animal Method of Thought.
The difference between the animal
and the human idea of what consti-
tutes knowing" comes out nicely in
a piece Of work done at Clark univer-
sity-A. j. kinnman's study Of rhesus
monkeys, the Bandar-log of the "Jun-
gle Book"
The monkey, following the usual
procedure, learned to get his food
from a box. the lid of which fastened
with key. The key, however, could
not be withdrawn from the lock.
After the monkey had become familiar
with the device and could operate it
as readily as a man could do the ex-
perimenter took the key out of the
lock and laid it on the floor in front
Of the box. The monkey picked up the
key, played with it. but made no at
tempt to use it. Then the experiment.
er took up the key, and, fifty times in
succession. with the monkey two feet
away watching every notion he un-
locked the box. The monkey would
have starved before he initiated that
simple act. He had learned to open
the box by making certain movements.
he had no idea of the key as an in
strument in the process. We some
times think instruments and means
and causes The animal thinks large
ly motions.-E. T. Bronston in Nc

Once you have chosen your occupa-
tion or profession hold fast thereto.
Let nothing allure you from the main
travelled road. Having chosen. hold
like steel Make everything feed into
the main current of your life. Even
modest talents, organized and unified
have conquered great distinction and
worldwide success. History Is full
Of illustrations of the unifying power
of great purpose. Witness the poor
child Hastings looking at distant
manor house that once had belonged
to his father. The determination to
win back that estate before he died
lent power and momentum and pro-
duced Lord Hastings Witness the in
fuence Of purpose upon that little
Scotch boy, out upon a holiday on
the banks Of the Clyde. with three
precious coppers as his entire posses
sion. He determined to build house
on the hilltop overlooking the river
and forty years later moved into the
castle, from which he looked down
upon twenty ocean steamers he had
built. Witness the purpose Of William
the Silent. filling all the days and
nights for the hero struggling to de-
liver brave little Holland from Spain
Witness Milton's VOW to write a poem
that the world would not willingly let
die and who therefore lived an epic
life Witness Paul's resolution to do
one thing and one thing alone and
who. with that unit purpose, achieved
democracy for all subsequent peoples
and centuries. Aimlessness will make
your life like a sand heap.-Rev. New

keep Your Temper.

Which of all the domestic virtues is
most essential to happy married
life? The ability to keep ones tenn
per, beyond all question.
There is nothing which lends more
to misery. not only for it's possessor,
but also for those about him. than an
ungovernable and unreasonable tenn
per. No one is worse to live with
than an Ill tempered man. except per-
haps an Ill tempered woman.
Bad tempered people completely
spoil the lives of those who associate
with them. The feeling of strain is
ever present. One never knows just
when the storm will break. although
apparently the weather. metaphorical-
ly, is ''set fair" Life In these circum-
stances becomes a burden almost be-
yond bearing.

understands that in the life and affairs
of mankind the most deadly and de-
structive foes are extremely small All
Of the fierce mammals and poisonous
serpents Of Africa do not kill as many
human beings in ten years as the
tsetse fly slays in one. The tigers and
cobras of India kill their thousands
every year, but the rats which spread

stroy their tens of thousands. In this
country the common housefy un-
doubtedly causes more deaths than all
the venomous snakes. wild beasts,
mad dogs, runaway horses and i'll tenn

tual proportion is probably much high

The Dead Larks.

In Baluchistan even the wolves go
mad. In his book, ''The Frontiers of
Baluchistan." G. P. Tate writes: 1.-THE
shepherds give a strange reason for
the epidemic Of rabies. According to
them, it was caused by the wild beasts
eating dead larks. In some years.
they said. the larks develop extraordi-
nary vitality and pour forth such a
food Of songs as they rise on the wing
that they become suftocated and fall
to the ground dead. A wild animal
which eats one Of those dead birds in
variably develops rabies. This Is a
widespread superstition and seems not
unfamiliar to the natives of India who

Landscapes Of the Dutch Painters Of
the Seventeenth Century.

Landscapes Of the Dutch Painters Of
the Seventeenth Century.
The Dutch painters of the seven
teenth century were as little concerned
with poetic feeling as with idealism.
They used their eyes and painted what
they saw. but neither their imagina
tions nor their feelings were touched.
While most modern painters interpret
how the scene has affected themselves,
the Dutch looked at it as something
entirely outside themselves.
Otherwise the Dutch landscapes pre-
sent us pictures of pleasant work
aday world or Of the quiet evenings
that follow after the labors Of the day
never hint of disturbance, though
war and rumors of war were constant;
instead, the perpetual suggestion of
prosperous peace and thrifty comfort,
for they abound with the evidences of
busy humanity. Not only is nature
brought into touch with human life by
the little figures, so charmingly life
like, which animate the scene. but
everywhere are the results of mans
handiwork seen in little things as we'll
as big-in the trinity kept fruit trees
of laborer's garden plot no less than
in the handsome facade of rich
burgher's town house. There is no
country in the world where the influ-
ence Of man is 80 minutely imprinted
upon every foot Of ground. and as
these artists were eager to represent
the things they saw no landscapes are
SO full of human interest as theirs

Banks are Prosperous

The published statement of the two
banks Of Newport which appear in this
issue of the Miner and show their con-
dition at the close of business June 23rd,
are an indication of the growth of the
town and its business interests.
The combined deposits OF Newport's
two banking institutions foot up in the
neighborhocd of $245, 1000. A very good
showing for new town in country
just beginning to enter upon an era OF
development and wealth production.
Newport's banks are ably and conser-
vatiyely managed. They are differed
by some of our best business men and
their continued growth and prosperity
are coinc1dent with the growth of the
town. When the first bank was started
in this town, but few years ago, the
idea was ridiculed and many failed to
see any business or future for either the
bank Or the town. Now we have two
banks, each doing constantly growing
business with prospect of even grea ter
growth and service to our business in
terests in the future.
