people who met with either one generally
managed to endure It In silence.
the point Is that people who have
great sorrows to bear are generally too
busy enduring them or finding ways Of
mitigating conditions TO waste any en-
ergy bewalling their fates. All the girls
who shrek that they cannot endure
their sorrows are too busy in their
search for sympathy either to suffer
very deeply OF to snake much sane eff
fort TO find a way out.
No one OF the things that these girls
claim single them out for unique and
lonely unhappiness Is vital. To be
lonely. not to have friends, to be Tilted
by a tickle man, to fail TO look stunning
however stunningly dressed or to suffer
from any social disappointment Is only
an unpleasant little incident that must be
endured as a little pebble on the smooth
path OF life.

And now mentally diseased men say
all this vast mass OF refined measure
ment made by men possessing the un-
conceivable power OF high mathematics
is OF no account. And In face Of abso-
lutte, proven and set truth say here In the
twentieth century that the surface OF the
earth is concave and that ali humans live
inside of the earth.
Nothing can be done with these men
because reason Is dethroned. The time
expended on them Is worse than lost.
And this is perhaps one reason why the
editors OF the three encyclopedias declined
to waste white paper uon this Koresh
disease.

Cal. r. f. D.. San Mateo county.
A.-Cyrus II. Teed (deceased) signed to
his name the word Koresh and wrote out
a series OF treatises and called the whole
Cellular Cosmogony. the .Universology of
Korehanity or the Earth Hollow
Sphere"
The doctrine OF Koreshanity Is one of
the most remarkable diseases of the mind
ever encountered by skilled mentalists.
The entire literature OF mental maladies
does not present anything TO compare
with this singular disease.
The cause OF the disease has never been
discovered. 1t consists OF opposites; thus
plant sees things exactly opposite from
what they really are.
There is no cure known: for reason. the
highest attribute of man is dethroned.
and when reason is subverted perma-
nently no cure can be effected.

To quote from Teed
THE earth is a concave sphere, the ra-
ton of curvature being eight inches to the
mile. thus giving a diameter OF $40 and
corresponding circumference OF about
%, 900 miles"

and then beholdlng them take place to the
minute and even seconds, is totally dis
puted by these diseased men. Again.
What does Koreshanity offer as a sub
stitute for the gigantic fallacy Of the be-
nighted Corpernicus? First, It offers the
fact that In experiments carefully made
by the Koreshan goedetic staff OF Ma
pies. on the gulf coast OF Florida. the
contour OF the earth was proven TO be
Numerically the reverse Of what is
taught in the pseudo-science OF modern
times.

sharing the danger, vita utter disregard
for self.
In captivity the kagu Is very amusing
because of his solemn. thoughtful de-
pertinent He will gravely take walk
along a human visitor who makes
his acquaintance by initiating its
peculiar call: but whom left alone will
occasionally indulge In tho most eXtravag-
ant antics, rushing about with outspread
wings and sticking his beak in the ground
and kicking In apparent attempts to stand
on It's head" This behavior might APP
pear to be prison madness but for
1.-The fact that the kagu is a famous
lantic dancer In it's native wilds where 1t
is rapidly becoming extinct.
Even more singular t1an the kagu is
the "Cariama," a South American crea-
ture, described as "a running ground bird,
with a non-gripp ng FOOT. which never
theless roosts and nests In trees; which
has the long bare legs of a wader. yet
never goes into water, but loves to
ystroll in the dust" Among its most not
able peculiarities is its habit of stopping
the fight that occur among other birds.
1t Is q peace-lover which does not con-
fine its pacific efforts TO mere protests.
Like the kagu, the cariama lives upon
insects. In Brazil and Paraguay the
cariama is domesticated and trained to
guard ordinary fowls. 1t combines some
of the characters of the eagle, the buzz
card and the crane.
Another curious bird as the ''Rhea,"
also a native of South America, where 1t
, is called an ostrich. But it is smaller
than the true District, never carrying Its
head to a mans height above the ground.
Yet the male bird, which sits on the nest
to hatch out the eggs, is full of courage
and will attack a man on horseback, try
ing to leap up and kick him off. When
Charles Darwin was In Patagonia he
heard many stories OF the ferocity Of
these birds when disturbed on their nests,
and saw the Guachoa catch them with

the ends, which when slIilfully thrown.

Why cid they wash and wiring and

probably never washed anything heavier
or more soiled than their own dainty
hands? Because their college was in
need. It needed a house and there had
been offered a shining inducement. The
Rockefeller foundation had offered a
gift of $4,000 to restore the college
buildings, but like all munificent things
of life, It entailed much effort. The
Wellesley girls are learning truly that
something is never given for nothing.
The Rockefeller foundation gift depends
upon whether Wellesley and It's friends

Dear Miss Fairfax: am a young lady

that cared for him.
This gentleman, as / found out later,
was a married man. but was living apart
from his wife and is now seeking a di-

is sure to get It in about two months
or so.
Last week was visiting some friends

awakened and i cannot bear to be out OF
his company, for 1 am very sure that j
love him, and love him dearly.

him after he 10 free and told him that
although / loved him very much l would
have TO wait and find out at the end OF
two months whether / would consent.

not 1 should consent and whether Il Is

he Is in this predicament.

said that she disobeyed the call. An
swerlng that life was more important
even than a strike, she went back and as
sisted the doctors In their difficult task.
This action of deserving nurses seems
on it's face the most inhuman record set
against womanhood since the female Bor-
gias and De Medicis did their poisoning.
There may be pleaded in extenuation of
their act that the striking nurses were
hysterical and and to that degree ire
sponsible. But, in greater degree OF ex-
tenuation was the fact that one of their
number had been summarily. and they
