THE DIVINITY OF THE COMMON LIFE
By JAMES A. EDCERTON

The DIVINITY OF THE COMMON LIFE.
There are various kinds OF snobbery,
but one of the worst is that which af-
fects to despise common things.
Abraham Lincoln. who had not q
shred of the snob in his makeup. once
said. The Lord must love the COM
mon people; be made SO many of
them"
On its face that appears witticism.
Look deeper and you may see In 1t
profound philosophy.
That which is most common is most
universal, and that which is most uni
versal is most divine.
Think it over.
Not only so. but that which is most
common 10 often most beautiful.
What Is more lovely than the rose
the grass. the trees. the sky, the sea OF
the stars?
They are all common.
Poe once said that the greatest
poems are those built about the home
~ emotions-the love of man and maid.
of mother and child, of country, OF
God, of home. Yet these emotions are
common.
Some one else has said that genius
consists in the ability to express what
everybody else feels This is but CIV
ing voice to what is common to all
men.
The greatest things in me are not my
peculiarities, but the things l have in
common with my fellows. the fullness
with which give utterance to these
things, the points of contact I have
with all manner and conditions of men.
Benjamin Franklin was at home in
the farmers cabin. the scientists lab
oratory. the legislative hall and the
kings palace He had points of con-
tact with all.
The greatest men are so. They pos
sess common faculties raised to the nth
power. This is genius.
| The highest kind OF sense is COM
| mon sense. 1t is the essence of the
| experience and wisdom of all ages.
The man who beholds the divinity Of
common life suddenly sees the miracle
and beauty of Gods good green world

SUN AS A NIGHT LIGHT.

Down on the great canal in
Panama according to Hammond
manufacturer who visited it, inven-
tive genius will employ the sun to
light 1.-The big ditch by night.
The lighthouses will have lamps
that will light and be extinguished
by the sun without the aid of human
hands.
Briefly, the warmth of the sun at
dawn falling on rod which rests on
la lever expands the rod and so moves
the lever which closes the gas valve
At night the rod, getting cooler. con-
tracts and SO opens the valve and lets
the gas pass to be lit by small JET
| left burning. The rod can be adjust
ed according to the temperature con
ditions of any country. The sur
valve is the invention of Gustai
Dalen, the famous Swedish physicist
who was recently awarded the Nobe
prize.

STEEL SAFETY.

We have received Through
workman a copy of the illustrated
monthly safety bulletin that the ILL.,
nois Steel company is issuing to it's
$4,000 employees in Gary, Joliet,
South Chicago and Milwaukee.
Like its sister companies in the
steel trust the local company's policy
is safety first" Every possible pre-
caution is now taken for the welfare
of the worker. Dangerous places are
marked and safeguarded. A rigorous
system of inspection obtains under
the direction of an expert official
who is at the head of bureau de-
voted to safety. Personal interest is
stimulated by safety committees
composed of officials and employees in
leach department. Safety instruc-
tions are printed in several languages
and the new employe is at once made
to feel that the careless workmen
endangers not only the life of him
self but of others and also the happi-
ness of those dependent upon him
| and his fellows.
| While accidents will continue to
fall to the lot of the steel workers
Acknowledgement must be made tt
the admirable and conscientiou:
methods of the Illinois Steel Com
pany in promoting its employees
safety as far as the expenditure O
money and the encouragement o
personal cooperation will permit.

THE MISTAKE OF BORROWING

The poor house and the bank rep
resent the extremes of the financial
world. Borrowers fill up one; lend
ers inhabit the other.
When you see a haggard dilapidat-
ed-looking young fellow standing OPP
posite the cashier at the little office
table in the bank, mortgagfng house
and home for few hundred dollars,
you have merely to add toucn of
gray to the beard and wrinkle to
the forehead to picture him as he
will appear when he takes up his
abode at the county farm.
The borrower places himself at
the mercy OF the lender A ShyIock
who is determined to be exacting
and tyrannical can make things so
uncomfortable for his unfortunate
debtor that the poor fellow will be

| is even worse, the callous attitude of

CITIZEN SOLDIERS.

Not unnaturally war abroad
interest everywhere in
the bearing of arms, although little
is needed here to awaken enthusiasm.
Born of fierce fighting ours has been
a heritage of war. In time of peace
we have always prepared for it and
young men turn naturally to the
guard of the various States for drill,
discipline and social acquaintance.
One thing has always initiated
largely against the greater success of
the National Guard and that was
the idea that employers were opposed
to it on the ground that it was liable
at times to take men away from
their work.
While this is undoubtedly true,
such occurrences are rare. Drill
comes out of soldiers own time
and none possessing soldierly instinct
grudge it.
But that such opposition is largely
mythical is stated by a committee
now studying methods of improving
the efficiency of State troops, which
reports that only two out of large
number of employers canvassed are
opposed to their men enlisting
It would be we'll to hear directly
from employers on the subject. The
benefit of drill to men of sedentary
pursuits is not the least of the con.
lsiderations to be borne in mind.

the man who has given up all hope
of being able to pay his just debts
and doesn't care continental
whether they are paid or not. He
develops in his nature either rascali-
ty or servility. He loses his personal
independence by being constantly re-
minded that his house or his money
is at the mercy of another. who may
turn upon him at any moment to ex-
ercise his unnatural power. He can
not look the whole world in the face,
for he owes. He is financial leper.
AFFLICTED with a disease that grows
worse and worse with time and is
seldom rid Of it after it has once TAX
en- root
The small borrower is in a scarce
ly better plight than the borrower
of large amounts. He may never
borrow more than a few dollars at a
time. an amount that he can readily
repay; yet he has started a slipshod
way of handling money that will
eventually prove his ruin unless he
calls halt before the eleventh hour.
His accounts are thrown into con-
fusion. He places himself under
himself to lend even more literally
and thoughtlessly borrows. And
gradually he develops a financial ir-
responsibility. He goes from small
lbs RI 10 ilo l, oar r
ed Timon of Athens, he loses his
money and his friends at the same
time; so that when he in turn sends
out to borrow he finds his credit
gone.
In an age of commerce and in q
country where the only silk-stoeking-
led aristocracy is composed of the
Imoneyed class the greatest enemies
to the cause of social equality arr

ltarily put themselves under thu

who would fight against the en-
roachments of wealth see to 1t tina

FEED CHICKENS IN SUMMER
There Are Few Farm Flocks That VIII
Not Improve in Egg-Layin0 If
Given Some Grain.

The very common opinion that
farm flocks need no grain feed in
summer is seldom warranted. The
farm range is valuable, and there ia
no place where eggs can be produced
as economically, but there are few
flocks that will not improve in egg
yield II given at least one feed daily.
1t ought not to be difficult to de-
termine whether more feed Is needed.
Something depends on the size of the
flock and the range, but the egg yield
will tell. There is only one probable
explanation for farm hens failure
to lay egg in summer, and that ia
lack Of feed. Occasionally it is due to
a lack of the right kind of feed, but
generally If the hens have one feed
daily of any grain they will give good
results.
Wheat, barley and oats are the
practical summer grains, but II : little
care Is used and some meat, corn IL
very good. Whatever grain is used II
is genuine economy to give the hens
