True Honesty.

ITO be honest is more than to re-
frain from stealing another mans
purse, more than paying the exact
number Of dollars you owe. Honesty
means far more than not defrauding
other people financially. 1t means
nothing less than not defrauding your
self by your own prejudices and judg.
ments. 1t means dealing fairly and
squarely with yourself; looking at
yourself with the same eyes with
which you dissect the conduct Of your
associates. Clara X. Bayliss.

Neglected Utopia.

Why is the earthly paradise unat-
tractiYe? Everything that human in
genuity can do to make an ideal
dwelling place out Of Australia has
been done. 1t is the Utopia from
which reformers drew their sugges-

ports to other lands more fads for
betterment than any other product.
Yet Australia, the source OF plans for
happiness to all the world. is sadly
neglected by seekers after happiness.
