Feverish Search For

For it has occurred to me that, after all, the minority are in the
majority. | know it sounds crazy. l know that. Heaven be thanked!
l am spared the last illusion of the insane, that l am sane.
But while / have always lived, moved and had my being under con-
vction that the majority not only rules but also actually exists, come to

Is the large, active and exceedingly vocal and aserive minority.
The majority Of the people in the United States believe in our pres
et form Of government, yet never met a man in my life that did not
think he could improve it.
The majority are sound and well, but did you ever run across a well
womanp
The majority are sane, yet have you ever found one man indu-
bitably SOP
The fact Of the matter is that the average man is a myth; he is
a mathematical hypothesis; he exists only for the purpose of statistics
and arguments; he is the stuff out Of which generalties are formed. He
is like an atom, o a kiowatt, or a nebular hypothesis. Everybody is
abnormal. Normalny is merely the imaginary point where the abnor-
malites balance.

nothing about 1t. however. The night

An UqIy Wife and n Bible,

In the famous library Of Wolfenbut-
Tel, In Hesse, Is an old Bible which Is
greatly treasured. 1t appears that in
that passage In Genesis where God
told Eve that Adam shall be her mas
ter and shall rule over her the German
translation is. "Und er soil dein herr
sein." Herr" which means master.
does not occur In this Bible, but in
stead there appears the word ''narr,"
which means fool. The error was
caused by a quarrel between the
printer and his wife in the year 1880.
The wife was vengeful, and in the
silent watches of the night she entered
the room where her husband had been
setting type and maliciously changed
"herr" to MARI" The printer was ar

Sacred Threads.

The sacred thread OF the Brahmans
is well known Ii Is a caste distinction
assumed at an early & and never
parted with. II must be made by a
BrahmaD and should consist of three
strands. each Of a different color, for
ty-eight yards In length. doubled and
twisted together twice. the ends tied
In knots. 1t must be worn next the
skin, over the left shoulder. hanging
down to the thigh on the right side.
The three castles Of the Hlndus are
distinguished by the material OF these
threads-cotton for the Brahmans,
hemp for the warriors and wool for
the artisans. The Parsees also wear
the sacred thread. and boys OF seven or
nine are invested with It, the threads
used being made always Of fbers of
the sur tree. Monier Williams de-
scribes the sacred girdle Of the Par
sees as made of seventy-two wooden
threads, forming a fiat band. which Is
twined three times around the body
and tied In two peculiar knots. the
secret Of which Is known only to the
Parsees.

say to use their clubs
Instead of haling a very drunken man to the station, one of our
hobbies will call a cab, if the inebriated one is at all gentemanly looking,
and send him to his home or hotel.
No drunken man is ever harshly dealt with in London, provided only
that he will keep on moving. If he stops and obsructs the street the
police will coax him to move on, and they do this without the brutality
that I've seen used in American cities.
l have seen in my country a sa%art policeman allow a disorierly
chap to rain blows on his body without showing the least anger, or resort
ing to violent tactics. This may be going to the other extreme, but |
prefer it to clubbing.
The reluctance of the London police to ue severe measures is espe-
caiIy noted in the case of women. In London a woman has to do some
thing desperate before she will be taken in charge.

In Dundee, Scotland, where the C~aledonians are enthusiastic devo-

T|Education Of Ameri-

By PROF. W. c. DEFoREsT
University Of California

There is no reason why every housewife in this good land should not
bake her own bread, and this would make the public absolutely indepen-
dent. 1t would also bring the bakers to time and the loaf that weighed
less than the standard would soon be known no more forever.
The education of the American girl is woeuly defective, if it does
not include knowledge of bread making.
One rightly made home loaf is worth any two that ever cam out of
a bakery. l am talking from intimate knowledge of the subject, and the
commercial bread could not find a place on my table, even if it were a
donation.
