We judge people by our rules of or der and propriety, and in consequence we often make a mess of judgment We cannot see ourselves as others see us; but a well trained Chinaman lets us see how we look to him. This is what he told his people about us: They live months without a mouthfu1 of rice; they eat bullocks and sheep in enormous quantities; they have to bathe frequently; the men dress alike, and. to judge from their appearance, they are all coolies; the men are sell dom to be seen carrying fan or an umbrella, and they manifest their ig- norant contempt of this insignia of a gentleman by leaving them to women; mons of them have finger nails more than an eighth of an inch long. they eat meat with knives and prongs; they never enjoy themselves by sitting quietly on their ancestors graves but jump around and kick balls as if paid to do it; and they have no dignity, for they may be found walking with wo7nen," Sc much for that; and the races of rAen vary So in their ideas of what constitutes etiquette and charae- ter that they look ridiculous to one an- other There seems to be no help for it.

It is not So very long ago that no one was considered orthodox who said the world was over 5000 years old. Adam and Eve started then, sure. Now science claims to have found the skel- eton of a man who lived 34,000 years before Adam was created. This shows man has never been a good timekeep- CT, and that he lost track of the be- ginning of things. In fact man was born so poor he didn't have anything to remember until he did something himself worth remembering. But there is no agreement as to how old the world is, or how long man has inhab- ited the earth; and the astronomers and geologists are only 60,000,0o0 years apart in their estimate of the earth's age. The astronomical verdict is based on the suns heat and radiation, which if says could not have existed over 20,000,000 years; the geologists find the sedimentary deposits on the earth to be 50 miles deep and deposited at the rate of 1-2 inches a century, which shows SO.000,O00 years have elapsed since the rains began to faii and to carry sediment into the sea. But 1t doesn't make so much difference which is correct-man has no reason to be proud even of his 5000 year rec ord,

Perhaps you think 'the wind blew eth as 1t listeth." as they used to in the time of John the Evangelist put the fact is the wind blows, If 1t blows at all, according to law. Some men deny that the wind blows. It is the not and cold. the high and low barometric pressure. which has to do with the agi- tation of the air. Modern science says the wind rushes as it is driven instead of "bloWeth as 1t listeth" The mis- sion of the wind Is to dry the land and aerate the waters, and incidentally to shake down the nuts in the fall and to prune the trees of deadwood. It is valuable servant of Nature, and does more good than harm, however we may view 1t. The wind Is no more independent than man is-it has no power to thwart its purpose any more than man has to avoid the inevitable. For the wind to blow as it listeth would be to act disorderly; good order is the mandate of Nature.

The young fellow who is looking for soft snap necessarily confesses feeling of laziness which he is seeking to humor instead of overcome. Along the highway of great achievements not a single signboard reads: "Softsnaps- this way" Endeavor is the guide there: and the notices all read Get there!" There is vim in the spirit which is to achieve-the spirit of life doesn't welcome sleepiness as pastime. II is the soft snap feeling which crystal lizes into the get something flor noth- ing desire, and makes easy marks or men. A soft snap never developed man of capacity. It is that which de- rnands knowledge, tact and skill which makes man worthy the name. The battle of life calls for men determined to stand up, not those who yearn to lie down. Anything which can be made soft snap has no snap!

THE MAN WHO TAKLS

You show me a man who is always saying Every man has his pricel" and 1 will show you a man who can be bought Such low estimate of our fellow men represents lack of worth in us, more than 1t does in them. It is not their character which such words reflect, but our own. It Is out of the heart that the mouth speaketh; and it Is by it's utterances that man can be justly interpreted. Such thoughts as these concerning onr brethren do not elevate our minds, but def1le them. Evil to him who evil thinks. is Ma lures compensation to those who would belittle others. The majority of men have never thought of price in connection with manhood, for true manhood has no price. The man who has lost faith in his fellow men may not realize that he has lost faith in his own integrity, but he really has. To the true. all men seem true.
 As 1 was strollinu across a pasture the other day a newly fledged yellow hammer hopped from a shrub upon the upper bar of a gate for the purpose of getting a look at me, which showed that he was fresh young thing. He uttered no sound. and as I moved to- ward him flew to and disappeared in a thicket. He initiates royalty in one way-he inherits more names than any other American bird. We cannot tell why he is called a Clape. or Hich- way, but it is evident why he is call ed a Flicker, High hole, yellowhammer or pigeon woodpecker. AS drtllers Of hard wood they are most industrious and persistent. This youngster had A,a hfG hAad-- which, by the way, was used for money by western Indian tribes, among whom 1t was the equivalent of our dollar. They are ant-eaters and are the one woodpecker often flushed on the ground. This young bird was pretty and looked fine in his spotted nest.
