"liked to Be GuIJed,D

Sir William Gull, the well-knowp London physician, was once the vic tim of an amusing piece of repartee on the part of fellow practitioner The occasion was dinner party at which several distinguished medical men were present. The conversation happened to turn upon the subject oi quackery, and Sir William Gull ev. pressed his conviction that a certain amount of it was essential to success in practice, adding: Tt is an exam pie of the old saying, 'Populus vult decipi'" (people like to be deceived). Quite so.' said the host; now, can any one present give an English equivalent to that?" Nothing easier,' '' dryly remarked a well-known physi- clan of one of the Manchester hos. pitals. "The public liked to be 'gulled.'"

Difference In lcebergs.

No two icebergs appear to be ex actly alike in size and shape. Some look, for all the world, like Arabs tents as they glide along, and others like cliffs, castles, cathedrals, yachts and occasionally they resemble some well known animal. Some of the pin nacles of a large berg rise nearly 1000 feet above the water, while the base may occupy an area of ten or twelve acres. Seen through a power full glass, one may detect waterfalls upon these islands of ice, and all kinds of arctic birds, and perhaps a few seals.
 Then the colors are almost beyond description. The stately pinnacles glisten in the sun like powdered glass At times the berg is pure white, at others it looks greenish.-From Harold J. Shepstone's '1cebergs" in St. Nicho las.

Bombs Deadly Work.

Paris Is truly a city of tragedies At a quarter past eight the other morning there was terrific bomb ex' plosion on the Place de Montrouge Policemen rushed up, and found a young man of eighteen, Alfred Hervo, shrieking with pain, and rolling in agony on the ground. His face and hands were covered with blood and his clothes were burning. Two police men put the fire out, put Hervo in cab, and took him to the nearest hos pita1. The other policemen found the bomb. It had been made of two metal soap boxes tied together, and filled with powder and nails. Hervo declared that he knew nothing about the bomb He was on his way to his work, saw the thing lying on the pavement, and kicked it off into the gutter. It broke open, and wondering what the black stuff in 1t was, Hervo lit match and bent down to find out. An explosion followed.

Loans of Honor.

Tip never had a mite of patience with the fellow who looks with such reverence on debt of honor. AS a rule the debt of honor chap doesn't fret bit about bilking his grocer. But an experiment with loans of honor" put in the right places has shown the average person is honest. Several years ago public spirited men "got to gether" at Lyons and formed what they called Loan and Honor society The purpose was to furnish money to clerks, laborers and apparently to any poor and needy persons. No other Sc curity than the borrowers word was asked. In 1910-11 money was lent to 3S4 individuals. Sixty-eight of these were women. All but twenty-seven of the borrowers were married. Sickness made 119 of the loans necessary; loss of work, 83; previous debts, S4, and starting housekeeping 27. The sums borrowed varied from $6 to $6O. Dur. ing it's several years of existence the society has lost only $20O. Yes, the average person Is not a thief.-New York Press.

HER LUCK NOT ALL DESERVED
Printed Prayer Responsible for Re turn of Pocketbook Only
 There by Accident.

She had been paying visits most of the afternoon, and on reaching home and putting away her wraps she dis covered that her cardcase was miss Ing. Tn it had been a dollar or two, her cards and a certified check for $200, which she had intended to de- posit, but had been too late for her bank.
 Heavens" she exclaimed, shall l ever see it again?" and sat down in her despair to think over everywhere she had been and might have left it. Suddenly the telephone bell rang.
 Are you Miss Blank, and have you lost anything?" inquired the person at the other end.
 'Yes; I have just discovered the loss of my cardcase."
 What was in it?" said the voice.
 My cards, some money, certified check for $2OO, and, oh, yes! a little prayer on a slip of paper. Did you see that?"
 "Yes," said the voice; T picked the case up. And just let me tell you that it was that prayer that has brought your property back to you"
 The cardcase owner heaved sigh of relief and thought how lucky it was for her that Catholic friend had slipped the little printed prayer into her cardcase last summer.

SEES ONLY THE BIG CITIES
Brooklyn Minister Would Have Them seautlfied az the Centere of
 Our Civilization.

Dr. Hills of Brooklyn, while hold. ing pronounced views on the dis graceful condition at present prevail, ing in many American cities, has very optimistic views of the future.
 There is a new spirit abroad in the nations of the esrth,' he said. "A spirit of revolt against the ugliness of large towns is now sweeping over the Old World and the New. This revolt has taken on the majesty of destroy. ing wave. London and Paris, Berlin and Vienna are tired of the old ugli ness.
 "In Germany alone 1 have found this summer twenty volumes fresh from the press, with the ink scarcely dry on the pages, on the new science of town planning and city building.
 Tn our own country 1sO cities are now organized and formally commit ted to 8 commission for laying out the lines of growth for twenty years to come.
 "All of our cities of the first class having over 100000 population, most of our cities of the second class, with 100000 population to 100000, and more than 100 cities of the third class have their organized municipal com mission on city building.
 ''The time was when our civilization was largely rooted in the country, in the farm and the rural village, while the city was only a ganglion and nerve center rather than the brain.
 "Now every year the pull of the metropolis upon the heartstrings of boys and girls in rural districts is 3 stronger pull. The city Is the center of business, with manufacturing and financial life. The city Is the home of music, art and eloquence. The city Is home of the college, the libra. ry, professional schools, and for all these reasons 1t is quite certain that as the city goes so will go the re- public"

PROBLEM FOR THE SCIENTIST
How May the Energy of the Sun, at Present Largely Wasted, Be UtiI-
 izeI to Advantage2

The enormous energy which is con stantly poured out by the sun is al most past the comprehension of the ay mind.
 Measurements have shown that on a clear sunny day the sun transmitted to the earth energy which cores bonded to about 7,O00-horsepower per acre. At present all that is practical y wasted. Attempts have from time to time been made to utilize this enor- nous supply of energy, but not with any great measure of success. If peo- pie only knew how to harness it they could, at the expense of lowering the temperature of the earth by a degree or so, obtain all the power necessary 70 perform the work of the world. Only about three-fifths of the energy sent to the earth from the sun Is appreciable to the eye as light. If the sun were :wice as hot as it is, four-fifths would De appreciable in that way, and if 1t were still hotter the whole of the en. ergy would affect the eye as light. Radiant energy Is not heat; that is, the energy of the sun does not reach the earth in the form of heat. It is not heat at all until it falls on bodies whose temperature can be raised. It might rather be called electricity; in fact, 1t is form of electricity, for all the methods used to detect and meas ure radiant energy depend upon ab- sorbing it and transforming it into heat.

Fashions Lona Kept Up.

The British admiralty's annual or der for black silk handkerchiefs fol the navy, recently placed for 90,000 led to inquiry, "'why black?" It is said to be as mourning for Nelson's death at Trafalgar. Another instance of long-continued mourning is shown in the dark clothes officially worn by the Anglo-Saxon race; at the decease of the duke of Gloucester, Queen Anne's heir-apparent, the bar went into mourning and has never doffed this, though the lapse of the Stuart dynasty on the British throne wat scarcely to be regretted Doubtless the largest following of one fashion by men was after Alexander set the style of having the face clean shaven; this was kept up by the Graeco-Roman world for five hundred years.

SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Childish Mind, eroping in Darkness, Is Craving for Information That
 Is Denied It.

Every trace of useful information is carefully concealed from the very young child. A rattle, or at most rubber doll, is its only plaything As it grows older it is very slowly and gradually introduced to the various forms of the animal kingdom Of the mysteries of numbers and of Ian guages it has as yet no conception. Its constant questions are for the most part answered "humorously" and hence incorrectly, or they are not answered at all This eternal "hu- nor" is most galling of all Why should human infant be such an ir- resistible joke? The lower animals take their young seriously and train them from the start with a very def nite purpose in view. Yet their pos pared with those of the average baby. And we sit calmly by and enjoy the ''humor" of childhood and insist that the child is enjoying itself also, even though its little soul may be thirsting for information which is laughingly denied it. And We continue to put off the inevitable day when the child will have to take life seriously and hence. according to our tradition, sadly
 One important roint which is quite overlooked by the upholders of the brainless child is the fact that non sense and stiffness are just as taxing to the infant mind as useful informa- tinn would be. It requires no more mental effort to realize that A Is A than to grasp the extraordinary fact that a mass of brownish softness Is a fuzzy title Teddy bear, yes it is" In fact, the letter A has a distinct ad- vantage. And at more advanced age it is certainly less puzzling to be told that five and five make ten than to have ones own respectable pink toes described as series of pigs go- ing to market or entering into the va rious other activities of life.-Sig- mund Spaeth in Harper's Weekly.
