YOUR OWN LIFE A QUARRY
Out Of 1t You Are to Mould and chlseI
a Character, Said the Poet
Goethe.

1t was Goethe who said: Life is a
quarry" He does not mean the life
outside of yourself. He means your
own life, that separate part of Gods
universe over which he has set you
as supreme master, king to rule the
dominion. Goethe says that this life,
your own life, his life, everybody's life,
is a quarry A quarry is a place
where stone is gotten. The value of
a quarry is always in the quality of its
stone. Now life, if it be quarry, is
simply place containing something
that is valued, uniformed but with
skill may be wrought into what is val
uable. The stone from the quarry is
chiselled into form. A greater value
comes from the chiselling of this
stone. Michael Angeles Moses" Is
witness of what great artist may do
with a chisel upon a block Of marble.
Really, then, If your own life is a
quarry, you yourself must be the art
list, and out of the material of the
quarry you are going to make what is
beautiful and worthful to the world.
Let me complete the entire quotation:
Life is a quarry out of which we are
to mould and chisel and complete
character John T. Mcfarland.

IS NOT FIT TO LIVE WITH
Creature Who Makes Family and
Friends Wretched.

One of the strangest signs of the
times is our universal admiration for
geniuses; yet genius, no matter how
you view him, is always an impossible
creature. He isn't fit to live with.
If he is so unfortunate as to marry,
he makes life miserable for his family
If he doesn't marry, he is care to
all his friends. And the probability is
that no one will appreciate him in his
own age. Yet when we hear that
such and such one is a genius, we
experience an instant feeling of envy.
Most of us would like to be genius,
If we could have, along with it, our
own steady traits. We wouldn't give
up our regular income, but If we could
be genius with it, we should like
it very well.
Lombroso declares that geniuses are
acknowledgements types. Scien-
lists term them in biological words
sports that is, they are exceptions
to rule. They are supposed to see
things straight, whereas everybody
else is abnormal. Bernard Shaw says
that is what is the matter with him

Bent BY the Sun.

The towering Washington monu-
ment, solid as it is, cannot resist the
heat of the sun, poured on its south
ern side on a midsummer's day, with
out slight bending of the gigantic
shaft which is rendered percepitible
by means of copper wire, TIA feet
long, hanging in the center of the
structure, and carrying a plummet
suspended in a vessel of water. At
noon in summer the apex of the mon
ument, $50 feet above the ground, is
shifted, by expansion of the stone, q
few hundredths of an inch toward the
north. High winds cause perceptible
motions Of the plummet, and in still
weather delicate vibrations of the
crust of the earth, otherwise upper.

Americans Globe Trotters.

There are many American girls
who pride themselves on being globe
trotters. A trip to Europe is insignia
cant to them; they have been around
the world so many times they speak of
it as something not unusual. But they
do take pride in knowing the art Of
travelling, of getting along without so
many petty annoyances that almost
give inexperienced travellers nervous
prostration. They are sweet tempered
and merry and never seem to be ruff
fed by any unexpected circumstance.
One of those experienced girls when
asked why she got along so easily, re-
marked: We'll, / soon learned few
essential things and never have any
trouble. 1t is mistake to travel in
ones own hair. 1t always gets crum-
pied and struggling in the salt air, and
so always wear a few pin curls in the
day and keep my own hair fresh for
the evening. Furthermore, l always
make it point to tip the stewardess

How then do you expect to obtain

be sheer madness for you to attempt

Mr.. Haldane," said Gormly, coming
to another conclusion, there is a pow,

money power"
"And what may that be, sir?"
The power of the people"
