GOOD RECIPE.

Upton Sinclair, addressing at
Haledon the silk mill strikers of
Paterson, urged fairness of state
ment.
"But to be fair" he said, sis very
difficult. To give ourselves no more
than our due, to give our adversaries
no less than their due-ah, that's a
very difficult thing indeed.
"You know, perhaps, my recipe
for a complete, a really complete,
biography? Well, I've always held
that from the good things we re-
member about ourselves and the bad
things other people remember about
us a perfectly complete biography
could be compiled.

WHOLE vlLLAeEIN MIGRATION
African Tribe Seeks New Settlement
When the Adjacent Soil 10
Exhausted.

Father Joseph Burger thus de-
scribes a tribe Of natives at Ibowon,
Benin, Africa:
"These people are voluntarily no.
madic. Their huts are made of
bamboo sticks and baked earth, COW
cred with palm leaves, and really
present a pretty appearance at the
edge Of the forest paths.
GAS the mud used for the walls
dries in the sun in two or three days
whole village springs into existence
within a week. Once settled, the
blacks begin to clear little spaces
in the jungle and plant their sweet
potatoes and maize.
"After three or four years, when
the soil is exhausted, the entire vii
lage moves off to seek a new location
and begin the same programme over
again. And as there is plenty of
space in that region, no one need
quarrel with his neighbor for the
choice spots. There are enough and
to spare for everybody.
"The trouble with missionary
work among these natives is that,
if we settle among them we will
wake up some fine morning to find
our sheep missing-gone to seek
fields and pastures new. We can
however, baptize the infants and tn
dying"

WANTED TO GO, TOO.

When Archdeacon Hudson Stuck,
who is reported to have won the dis
tinction of being the first man to
climb Mount Mckinley, first went
to Alaska he found that two mot
toes were current in that country
cEe commercial and the other social.
The commercial one was: Nothing
for nothing, and burned little for
dollar" And the social one was !:
"Cheer up, the worst is yet to come"
"Even when they rob YOU" the
archdeacon says, "they do it so gen.
tally and frankly that it is hard to
get angry, unless you happen not to
have the price.
"The man who moved my baggage
a hundred yards at Skagway and
charged me a dollar apiece for six
packages answered, when / said it
was a robbery, Yes, it's robbery; but
l want to go to Fairbanks, too And
l had to join in the laugh"

FAIRY STORY HEROES IN STONE.

The dedication of a "Fairyland
fountain" in a public park of Berlin
was one of the municipalities con-
tributions toward celebrating the
quarter-centennial of the emperor's
reign, Berlin correspondent of the
Cincinnati Times-Star writes.
Berlin children are now reveling
in a wonderful playground, where
they may see the heroes of their
story books. The figures are placed
in groups around two basins, the
larger of which covers nearly half
an acre. Red Riding Hood is there
and so is the wolf. Here also is
Jack-in-Luck and his pig; Puss-in-
Boots, Cinderella and her slipper;
Beauty and all the rest of
the old-time favorites. The whole
conception is a happy one, the po-
etry of child life is fttingly en-
bodied in lasting stone amid beau
tiful surroundings, and it is agreed
on all sides that much credit for
final success of this beautiful idea
is due Emperor William for his re-
lection of the first designs, which
were too elaborate and symbolical.

"Well, We have the bull fight in

eye caught mine, she smiled, and 1
captured the hand and slipped the
ring on its proper finger. And then
oh, never mind that part. Any
how, Phyllis softened; and that is
even more impressive than her stiff
fleming, in its way. A few moments,

UNABLE TO CONTROL NATURE
Scientific Theory Concerning Proven
ton Of HaIIstorms Proved Some
thing of Joke.

Hailstorms are particularly disss-
trous in France because Of the great
damage done by them to the vine
yards, and on this account tha
French government has been very
active in testing all theories adj
vanced, with the hope of avoidingI
these visitations. In this connecticut
the scheme Of pouring electricity
into the upper air by the means Of
terminals located at some distance
above the earth received warm advo-
cacy by a number Of investigators,
and ffty-two of these stations were
established in different parts of the
country, the last being on the topI
of the Eiffel tower, where a great
volume of electricity was emitted
into the upper atmosphere. The fall
lacy of this view was at once shown,
for a few days after the installation
was made on the top of the great
tower the vicinity was visited by a
number of serious haIlstorms, a very
severe one falling at the very foot Of
the tower. A critical investigation
of the results at all the other stations
failed to show that there is any bene-
fit to be derived from these install
lations
