There is a story often told In India

A high official had made a vow that

OF ascertaining what this weight real

Summer Reading.
From the Detroit News.

4 rom the DetrOlt news.
In contributing to the gross output of
1900 new summer novels for the season
of 1911. almost this many writer's have
won obscurity. For no obscurity is quite
so complete as that attained by the myriad
aspirants who win the publishers recogni-
ton. but none other, and whose books are
forgotten in summers day. Human ma
ture is afflicted with a tremendous in
dividual impulse to gain the public eye
and ear, though just what happiness there
is in fame is difficult to- understand. OBJ
scur1ty is by far the cho,cer lot, certainly
the more exclusive and refined. Fame is
essentially vulgar. In this view of the
matter. certainly few Of the 1900 writer's
of our summer cartlaad of fiction need
complain of having been made common.
One is under no obligation to nail up
his sentiments at the cross roads. Yet
many people feel that they have in some
measure sighted the talents that the
Creator has given them If they do not
hackneyed operations of their minds. and
send them out to the world as a substitute
message for those of Boccacio, Goethe,
Voltaire, Shakespeare. Aristotle, Plato
and Spencer. 1t is all fun for the reader.
He oan pick and choose, read all or none.
But the 1900 victims of the fictive and
the didactic writing mania are to be COM
miserated. If they, by any chance, had
an original idea, 1T would be adequately
appreciated a generation after they are
dead. AS between knowing oneself and
advertising oneself, the former yields the
richest after all.

The Passing Of the Real Ranch.

From Outing.
The old ranching days Of California
are to all intents and purposes past
and gone. To be sure, there remain
many large tracts supporting single
group of ranch buildings, over which
the cattle wander ION thousand
hills" There are even a few, a very
few-like the ranch of which / am GO
ing to write-that are still undivided,
still me-haunted. still hospftfble,
still delightful But In spite OF these
apparent exceptions. my first state
ment must stand. About the large
tracts swarm real estate men, eager
for the chance to subdivide into small
farms-and the small farmers pour
in from the east at the rate OF
thousand month.
No matter how sternly the old land
lords set their faces against the new
order of things, the new order OF
things will prevail. for sooner or later
old landlords must die, and the heirs
have not in them the spirit of the an
cient tradition. This Is of course. best
for the country and for progress, but
something passes and is no more.

Girl That Loved a Soldier.
Berlin Correspondence London Daily News.

Berlin Correspondence London Daily News.
The pathetic romance of "a lass that
loved soldier" concluded yesterday by
the removal Of Magdalene Hermann of
Gronau. Saxony. to an asylum for the
mentally diseased. Twenty years ago dur
ing the imperial maneuvers a smart ar
tillery regiment was quartered in Gronau.
AS is customary during the maneuver
billetings. sergeant began to fiirt with
Magdalene and promised her marriage.
The promise was not seriously intended,
but poor Magdalene took it all in earnest,
and from that day to this she has never
ceased to meet trains by night or day
coming from the sergeant's garrison
town.
Some years ago, as her beloved Sergt
Albert had still not arrived, Magdalene
jumped to the conclusion that the war
office opposed the wedding and she has
since bombarded the military authorities
with petitions for permission to marry the
sergeant. After a time the authorities
ceased to answer her letters. Magdalene
thereupon concluded that the post office
was now suppressing them. and ever
since has walked ten miles daily to post
her letters In a neighboring town.

Changing Taste in Hymns.

From the Northwestern Christian Advocate.
One of our churches in New York city
having taken poll of the congregation
in order to determine the ten favorite
hymns announces that the following re-
ceived the requisite number of ballots.
Nearer, My God, to Thee abide With
Me" Jesus, Lover of My Soul,' Il Love
TO Tell the Story . Lead. Kindly Light
Rescue the Perishing," Rock of Ages,
onward. Christian Soldiers What a
Friend We Have in Jesus" Four others
were tied for tenth place: Love Divine,
III Love Excelling.'' Just AS / Am,''
Faith of Our Fathers. Living Still and
In the Cross of Christ j Glory"
Nothing could illustrate better the
change that has come over our religious
thinking. In the list there Is not one
hymn about heaven. Ten years ago no
congregation would have omitted "Jeru-
salem the Golden or There Is a Land
of Pure Delight" and twenty-five years
ago half the list would have been given
10 such hymns.

NEW TYPE SIDEWALKS.
Salt Lake City Makes Experiments
in Cement Construction.

new system OF sidewalk construction.
which does away with the smooth cement
surface finishing. is being tested in the
northwestern portion OF Salt Lake City
and IL found to be as successful as ex-
pected the system will be used In all side
walk extensions in the future. Here
tofore 1t has always been the custom OF
the city to have the specifications call for
n cement finishing above the concrete face
of all walks, but after the matter had
been considered by the city engineer and
board of public works IL was decided to
change the specifications in the contract
for this extension, which embraces twen-
ty-five miles OF walk, and try the new
method which has been introduced in
other cities and used with much success.
The new method consists in uslEg the
same amount of cement as In the old
walks. but instead of a pure cement coat
being laid on top of the concrete base all
the cement and concrete is mixed togeth-
er and the sidewalk is laid as one solid
piece. There are n number OF advan-
tages claimed for the new walk prn-
cipal among which Is that there is no
danger Of taking or chipping such as
occurs when there Is a separate coating
Of cement laid over the concrete.

Modern Industry and Education.


For some years the tendency of young
men seeking higher education has been
toward law and medicine. Schools OF
these professions have Increased In num-
ber and the fields of occupation have be-
come more overcrowded. Certain new
tendencies I'm industry and the science
of treating human Ills are at work which
suggest the possibility of change in
the drift of the educational current. Pub
lie and private enterprise are enlisted in
a movement to work out new cures for
old diseases and improve sanitation
throughout the country. Vast progress
has been. and more will be, made. Along
with this, though distinctly apart from
1t, goes the effort of the government and
private capital to harness nature for the
needs of industry; to open up Irrigation
and water-power plants for agricultural
and industrial purposes.
The New York Times invites to the
new fields of scientific service the atten-
tion of young men contemplating finished
educations. They are, undoubtedly. pro-
life of opportunities What will the
effect be in these two channels? Will
the current be diverted from law and
medicine to that Of technical or sanitary
engineering?
