lmprovino Americans,

Nothing is fixed but the certainty
of change" said Goethe. and we know
that the future American will repre-
sent change He may be taller or
shorter or thinner or fatter than the
American Of today, but there is moth
ing in the existing state Of society,"
and we use society in it's broad sense
to indicate that be will not be better
in many ways. Confidence in this Is
based largely on the evident determ1-
nation of the American of today to
leave our institutions and our ideals
better than be found them. Every
American. native or foreign born.
wants his children to have better ed
ucation than it was possible for him
to secure. He wants to have his chill
dren live in a community Of higher
standards and ideals than he has; he
wants betterment in local, state and
national conditions. and the result OF
the want will be improvement and a
demand by his children for still great
er improvement.-St. Paul Pioneer

Water Under Deserts.

Some of the most curious phenomena
OF the world are the underground wa
ter supplies beneath deserts. In the
Rajputana deserts water is held in
vast quantities in sandstone beds un-
der the scorched surface and is draw
up from wells sunk into the strata.
Bikaner raises it's walls in the midst
of a weary. almost rainless waste Of
sand and depends on these hidden els
terms for it's very existence. Whence
it comes, where is the outfall and what
quantity runs under the baked sand
remain a mystery. In one well at
Bikaner it has been ascertained that
the water supply is equal to 10000 gal
Ions all hour. which is held to point to
the conclusion that there is an enor-
nous subterranean flow and that the
snow fed rivers Of the Himalayas must
be the source. People in Bikaner say
that pieces of wood dropped into one
we'll have come up in another. The
idea Of an underground river opens up
a wide range of possibilities to the i'm
agina tion.-Times OF India.

An Economical Man.

A commercial traveller told Of a man
who was riding on train and pretend
ed to become ill after eating sand
.wich- The man opened his grip and
took out hot water bag. HE got a
sympathetic porter" the commercial
man continues, ito fill the water bag
with boiling water, and then he opened
up his lunch basket, took out a piece
Of fried steak and warmed it up on the
water bag. You talk about your light
housekeeping! Then after he had
warmed the steak he cut it all up with
a pair Of scissors and fed it to himself
with a pair Of sugar tongs. because he
would not take a chance with fork
going around a curve. But his finish
was limit After he had eaten the
steak he unscrewed the stopper Of, the
water bag and poured himself out a
cup Of hot coffee. He had the grounds

I DYING Is Order.

\ Dying to order is one Of the most
sacred customs of the American In
dian. Many years ago Standing Blk
went to Major James Mclaughlin. the
author of MY Friend the Indian" and
said. Father. my wife will die today.
and she wants a coffin from you"
The major asked him what the all
ment was. and he replied: %1
"Just nothing but that she heard the
ghosts calling and must CO." II ..i.s.5@
Somebody had told her. 1t turned
out, that she was sick. so she had
painted for DEATH" and all her rela-
tives had gathered about to bemoan
her-and incidentally divide her prop
erty as soon as she was dead. There
was no use in the majors arguing
about it, so e.had the coffin made.
In many cases those painted for
death" are actually pulled into dying,
but Mrs. Standing Elk was still too
vigorous. Finally in despair she car
ried the coffin into the house on her
own shoulders. and several years later
the major saw it still standing on end
in her house Shelves had been fitted
into it. and it was doing duty as cup
board.-Pittsburg acknowledgement

a Gastronornic JOY.

OF all the superb victuals which, by
their great variety and unique colloca-
ton. make Maryland the Eden and
Arcadia Of every man who loves good
eating, the. planked shad is probably
the most powerful and poignant in its
appeal to the senses. The wild duck,
though it sets the palate to vibrating
like an aeolian harp, has no thrill for
the eye. 1t is small and unlovely
bird of a dull color and ungraceful
outline. So. too. the diamond back
terrapin. It has no more beauty in
death than plate of soup. And GER
tain other exquisite delicatessen, for
all their sweetness do not soothe the
sense Of smell OF such are the raw
oyster. the boiled hard crab and the
Magothy river cabbage. But the
planked shad-ah. here we come to a
delicacy which enchanrs us alike
through the eyes. the palate and the
nose! AS it comes upon the table it
has the imperial dignity of Charlie
magne. Its noble head moves one to
reverence: the epicycloid curve OF its
tail is like the curl of great comber
upon coral beach. And it radiates a
perfume as Of Araby.-Baltimore Sun

Dashinu into Danqer.

when was younger" big Broad
way traffic cop remarked, Il used to
cuss at every body who insisted on
dashing across the street in front of a
car or truck. | cuss the act still, but
not the person Fact is. i've learned
that a majority of people just can't
help it, An approaching vehicle about
to cross their path is like a red rag to
a bull. It's sort of challenge. dare.
And the impulse to defeat it's purpose
can't be controlled. There isn't any
plan of action. It's a case of dash

times. of course. the thinking is done

Tibetan Penal Code.

The Tibetan penal code is curious.
Murder is punished with a fine vary
ing according to the importance OF the
slain, theft by fine of seven to one
hundred times the value Of the article
stolen. Here, again. the fine depends
on the social importance of the person
from whom the theft has been commit
ted. The harborer of thief is looked
upon as worse criminal than the
thief himself. Ordeals by fire and by
boiling water are still used as proofs
OF Innocence or guilt, exactly as was
the custom in Europe in the middle
ages And IL the iamas never inflict
death they are adopts at torture.
