Deadly Sin of Stupidity,

Most people would say that stupidity

but, according to the teaching Of Bud
dha. It Is the worst of the deadly sins,
and when we arc thwarted by stupid
people we are apt to agree with
Buddha Then we remember the say
Ing that against stupidity the gods
themselves tight in vain, and it seems
to US wilful peryersity that cannot
be q natural quality Of any human
mind. When Buddha called it the
worst Of deadly sins he meant, no
doubt. the least durable You may
convince other sinners Of their guilt,
but you cannot convince stupid man
Of his stupidity, for it is a disease Of
the whole Of his mind which dulls his
reason and perverts his conscience.
Other sinners are at war with them
selves, and 1t Is possible to encour-
age the instruction Of righteousness
within them; but in the minds Of the
stupid there is settled peace which
no suggestion from other minds can

PROPER HANDLING OF APPLE

The respiration Of animals 10 q we'll
know action and the necessity for It
IN the living creature is fully appre-
ciated. M
The fact that plants and parts OF
plants must also breathe is not so
commonly understood Yet all living
cells, whether part of animal matter
Or vegetable matter, must have oxygen
to keep them alive and they give up
carbon dioxide and water as result
OF the action of the oxygen on some
Of their contents Parts OF plants
when cut OF from the main stem do
not die at once, and must. continue to
breathe. This is true. whether the
severed part is a leafy, branch, q fruit
or root; but somo parts live much
longer after removal than others.
and the apple continues to breathe for
many weeks after it has been picked
from the tree
The chief products of respiration
are the same in plants as in animals,
namely, carbon dioxide Commonly
called carbonic acid) and water. These
products can be easily shown by plao-
ing one or more apples in ! glass jar
and covering it tightly. In q few
hours dewy film will cover the inner
surface OF the jar, that in time will
collect into drops which will trickle to
the bottom. On opening the jar, a
