Clever REASONING,

Rather an original lesson in political
economy was that once taught by the
japanese nobleman Awoto and thus
translated by Sir Edwin Arnold in
Seas and Lands"
One evening as he was going to the
palace to take his turn In keeping the
night watch he let ten cash drop out
of his finder case into the stream and
then bought fifty cash worth of torches
to search for the lost coin. His friends
laughed at him for spending so much
in order to recover so little. and he re-
piled, with Il frown:
"Sirs. you are foolish and ignorant of
economies. Had not sought for these
ten cash they would have been lost
forever-sunk in the bottom of the
Namerigawa The fifty cash which
have expended on torches will remain
in the hands of the tradesman. Wheth-
er he has them or | is no matter but
not single one of the sixty has been
lost, and that is a clear gain to the
country"

would never alter" and This day

vest. 1t is very fine and handsome
garment"
Prior to this date they were excep-
tional garments. and there is even
some doubt whether they were orig
inally worn by ladies or gentlemen.
though there is good reason to believe
they superseded the doublet. such as
was worn by Raleigh. Essex and other
notables of the Elizabethan age.

in distemper of a vest on the walls of
Winchester cathedral, dated 1889. so
that what Charles ii. took was merely
an existing garment, which he re-
modelled. and by his patronage so pop
ularized 1t that 1t became a standard

a New Peril,

Sir James De War, famous English
chemist, is quoted as declaring that au-
tomobiles are direct menace to the
health of the community. He says that
the product Of motor combustion is "car-
bonic oxide" deadly gas. 1t is this
product that is given off in burning
charcoal and popular form of commit
ting suicide in France is by inhaling the
fumes. The English chemist says that at
every cough of these great automobiles
quantity of gas is poured into the
atmosphere.
Children and abbreviated citizens are
exposed to the greatest danger from
this new peril, it would seem. The
poisonous vapors, Sir James says, are
heavier than the air. Their consequent
tendency is to accumulate. The case is
bad enough with persons over five feet
tall, but the effect upon children and
short people who get into stratum of
poisoned air, may battle the skill of the
best physician. Burlington News.

II DOPE to bring automobile drivers to
81 ~ -. ... ID.

The thing most remarkable in per-
hitting the use of automobiles is, the
want of perception of the fact, that
was plainly perceptible at the very be-
ginning, that safe and therefore a
legal use of an instrument of this char
acter upon our highways is impossible.
In Prince Edwards Island when the
question arose someone perceived this
impossibility, and the infinitely foolish
attempt was prevented. The govern
ment of this island is thus described in
the Encyclopaedia Britannia:
THE affairs of the province are ad-
ministered by lieutenant-governor and
an executive council consisting of nine
members, three with portfolios and
three without, assisted by legislative
council of thirteen members and legis-
lative assembly of thirty members,
both elective. The lieutenant-governo
IS appointed by tie governor-general of
Canada in council. A system of respon-
sible government has existed in the
ince has authority to make its own civil
employed in the courts in the criminal
law of the Dominion.
In all civilized countries, or in all
countries where the laws of God,
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self" or "DoUnto others as you would
have them do by YOU" are observed; or
the criminal commands, Thou shalt not
steal;" or Thou shalt not kill" such use
will be abolished. This is the one and
only remedy possible. In the nature of
things, a safe use of vehicles of this
character upon our highways made for
the use of all, and of necessity used
by all, is impossible; and sooner or
later full perception of this will be
reached, the custom will be abated,
and the people, as whole again, will be
welcomed to equal rights on their high
ways.
1t is to be remembered that in YER
mont less than one voter in forty owns
an automobile. The roads, too, have
been built almost entirely by those who
never use them. That Is, the money
which has paid for the roads, belonged
almost entirely to those who have
never used them; this is to a very
large extent true today of the money
which builds new roads or keeps the
present ones in repair. 1t is, too,
practically true of every State in the
Union.

easy. Sometimes they are used for
dance platforms. some of them accom-
modating as many as four couples.
Another custom is to turn the big
stumps into Fairgrounds for the chill
dren. The children reach the top by
pieces of wood nailed against the sides
or by ladders. A beautiful use OF the
large stumps is making them into flow-
er beds and covering them with trail
ing vines.-Chicago Tribune.
