ARE MORE BEAD THAN ALIVE
Primitive Race Of People Who
Without Any Form Of
Religion.

London.-A people without any
form Of religion, without superstition,
devoid Of any thought of the future
state, has been found in the interior
forests Of Sumatra, according to Or.
Wilhelm Valez, the geologist of the
University of Breslau, who has made
extensive journeys through the island.
There he found the Kubus, as he
named them, who are scarcely to be
distinguished from the small manEke
ape Of the Indo-Malayan countries.
They are wanderers through the for
est seeking food; they have no proper
ty. They are not hunters, but sian
ply collectors. They seek merely suf-
fcient nuts, fruits and other edible
growths to keep them alive.
The Kubus wage very little warfare
upon the small amount of animal life
in their silent and somber land. The
only notion that Professor Valez could
get from them of a difference between
a live and a dead person was that the
dead do not breathe He infers that
they are immeasurably inferior to the
paleolithic msn of Europe, who fash
toned tools and hunted big game with
his flint tipped arrow and knife. In
tellectual atroPhy is the result Of the
Rubus' environment. The words they
know are almost as few as the ideas
they try to express

A clean, honest, kind criticism is
wholesome, but an underhand thrust,
intended to be smart, is dangerous.
There is so much of this fiippant crit
cism these days. We are nearly all
guilty of It, and yet it is a kind of sin
that keeps the right from succeeding.
There are instances every day where
a noble fact is kicked aside by a dis
paraging remark, intended only as a
slap The serious trouble with these
flippant criticisms is, they never leave
a truth behind; it is always a blotch.
The thing to do is to leave of the flip.
pant and make criticism sincere,
thoughtful, frank and kind. If criti'
cism is not thus attended, it is false
and flippant, unworthy of a true man
or woman.

LABOR EXCHANGES IN ENGLAND.

LABOR EXCHANGES IN ENGLAND,
On February / the system OF labor
exchanges instituted In England by
act OF Parliament had received a two
years trial. and the results have an
interest In this country. where similar
plans for bringing unemployed labor
in touch with employers have been
agitated. There are now 26i ex.
changes as compared with the 50 with
which the experiment was begun.
During 1910 notification Of 45s. gA3 va.

the exchanges. During 1911 the de-
mand for operatives exceeded the sup
ply in the cotton, wooden and worsted
trades, and in the case Of women in
the clothing trades and in the laundry
work. One favorable outcome of the
experiment is the growing confidence
shown by both employers and work
men in the system and the prospect
Of friendly cooperation in extending
its scope.

that from so to rs per cent of fires in

the same day that the Declaration Of
independence was issued, July 4, a COM
mittee to devise a seal was created.
While present-day Americans have
always been informed by writer's, his
torians and orators Of the intense
heat Of that suspicious Fourth of
July, and that because of the almost
unbearable atmosphere Of the sultry
weather prevailing the delegates as
sembled, hastily debated and quickly
signed the colonial Magma Charter in
order to get out of the congressional
hall, the facts are that the day was
unusually pleasant and characteristic
Of a most agreeable summer climate.
This statement, involving as it does
correction of hitherto accepted his
torical material, rests on the author
ity of an entry found among Jeffer-
sons stray notes. an entry never until
now given printed publicity. Innum-
cradle writer's have drawn highly col
ored word pictures of the dreadful and
sitting weather conditions existing on
that memorable day, but we submit
that far more reliance is to be placed
on the evidence penned by a distin-
guished and careful observer who was
| present on the occasion in the role Of
an active and honorable delegate.

sheet bearing the following rotations:
