THE SETTING SUN.

When Vulcan Sailed Il Round the
Ocean So It Could Rise Again.
The ancients had some queer theories
whereby they sought to explain the
rising and setting Of the sun. They
thought the earth to be fiat and were
greatly puzzled to know how the same
sun which plunged into the ocean at
q fabulous distance in the west could
reappear the next morning at an equal
~ great distance In the east. A num-
Der of remarkable theories were ad-
vanced. and every one of them was
wrong.
Mythologists of old asserted that
after the had dipped in the west
ern ocean ut sunset (the lberians and
other ancient nations actually imagined
that they could hear the kissing of the
waters when the glowing globe was
plunged therein) he was seized by Vul-
a and placed in a golden goblet.
This strange craft. with it's astonishing
cargo, navigated the ocean by a north
erly curse SO as to reach the east
again in time for sunrise the follow
Ing morning.
Among the more sober physicists OF
old, as related by Aristotle. it was be-
l1eved that in some n the sun
was conveyed by night cross the
northern regions and that darkness
was due to mountains which screened
off the sunbeams during the voyage.

Il Must Have Been a Violent Operation
Before Jacobs Time.
We frequently hear the expression
"God bless your uttered after some
n has sneezed. The expression, If
We a believe Clodd in his Child.
hood Of the World" dates back to the
time Of Jacob. We are told in Jewish
literature that previous to his time
men sneezed but once in a lifetime
and that was the end Of them, for the
shock slew them. Jacob prevailed in
prayer and had the fatality set aside
on the condition that among all the
nations a sneeze should be hallowed
by the words God bless you'll" In the
"Jataka," one of the books Of the
Buddhist Scriptures, we read that the
expression was, MAY the blessed Lord
allow you to live"
Buddha on one occasion while
preaching to his disciples happened to
sneeze The priests gave vent to the
exclamation, and Buddha lectured
them for interrupting his discourse.
If when a person sneezes," he ask.

he live the longer?"
"Certainly notv' cried the priests.
"And If you do not say it will he

priest says May you live he shall be
guilty of a transgression ."-London

What West Point Does For Its Cadets.
What West Point does for its cadets
is precisely this: 1t takes it's youth at
the critical period of growth; it iso-
lates them completely for nearly four
years from the vicious influences that
corrupt young manhood and from the
atmosphere of commercialism; it pro-
vides absorbing employment for both
mental and physical activities; it sur
rounds them with exacting responsible
tiles, high standards and exalted ira
ditions of honor and integrity. and it
demands a rigid accountability for
every moment of their time and for
every voluntary action. 1t offers them
the inducements of an honorable ca.
reer and a sufficient competence as a
reward of success, and it has impera.
tive authority for the enforcement of
its conditions and restraints.-Colone

Authorization.

Lieutenant Shackletol tells how
when in the antarctic wastes III and
his companions sustained their spirits
and their bodies as we'll when sup
plies had to be cut down to a mini.
mum by dwelling upon the glorious
eating they would have on returning
to headquarters. The value of such
mental sustenance has long been rec
ognized by up to date commanders.
There was the German officer in the
war of 1870 who sustained the flag
ging spirits and weary legs of his men
by shouting: ''There is a brewery in
side that town! Let us get there be-
fore anybody else" History relates
that the men did get there with re-
markable speed. Equally shrewd was
that Japanese commander in the Man
churian war who. seeing his lei ex-
hausted with thirst and knowing full
we'll the wonderful properties OF picked
plums. cried out. 1.-Two miles from here
there Is a forest of plums." The an
ticipated plums went far to relieve
their parched mouths.

He Was Not In the Coiored Porter's
Hall Of Fame.
A southerner noted for the liberality
OF his tips stopped at a Baltimore no.
tel where negro porters predominated.
His name was speedily known to every
member Of the serving fraternity and
his every wish anticipated. Soon after
his arrival he sent his card to a friend
who made his home In the hotel, but
who's temperament happened to be
quite the opposite of that Of his open
handed caller-retiring, not given to
'tipping'' or any other form Of socia-
bility and who therefore lived almost
unknown to those about him.
The old darky who received the card
studied it for a full minute.
"'Scuse me, colonel" he said, but l
don't b'leebe nobody by dat name come
here dis mawning."
"This morning!" returned the other.
"Of course not! Mr.. Blank has lived
here for months. You know my name
well enough. and l haven't been here a

member a man who has made his home

A CHINESE STRATAGEM.
Legend Of How a Projected Invasion
Was Axerted.

WAC UvCTtCO.
Rajah Surau, who was Que 1T the
earliest rulers Of lndiu. Overran the
entire east with the exception Of Chi.
ma, killed innumerable sultans with his
W hand and married all their daugh
tiers. 1t is said that when the Chinese
heard Of his triumphant progress and
learned that he had reached their
frontier they became much alarmed.
The emperor called a council Of his
generals and mandarins. and upon the
advice of a crafty old mandarin the
following strategem was carried out:
A large ship was loaded with rusty
nails, trees were planted on the deck.
the vessel was manned by a numerous
crew of old men and dispatched to the
rajah's capital. When 1t arrived-the
most wonderful part Of the story is
that 1t did arrive-the rajah sent an
officer to ask how long it had taken
the vessel to make the trip from China.
The Cinnamon answered that they had
all been young men when they set sail
and that on the voyage they had plant.
ed the seeds from which the great
trees had grown. In corroboration of
their story they pointed to the rusty
nails which. they said. had been stout
iron bars as thick as a mans arm when
they started. You ran see," they
concluded. that China must be a very
long distance away"
The rajah was SO much impressed
by these plausible arguments that he
concluded he would not live long
enough to reach China and abandoned
his projected invasion.
