Receiving the Guest.

l pray you, o excellent wife, not to
cumber yourself and me to get rich
dinner for this man or this woman
who have alighted at our gate, nor a
bed chamber made ready at too great
a cost. These things, if they are curl
Gus in, they can get for dollar at
any village. But let this stranger,
If he will, in your looks, in your ac-
cent and behavior, read your heart
and earnestness, your thought and
will, which he cannot buy at any price
in any village or city, and which he
may well travel fifty miles and dine
sparely and sleep hard in order to
behold. Certainly, let the board be
spread and let the bed be dressed for
the traveller; but let not the emphasis
of hospitality lie in these things
Honor to the house where they are
simple to the verge of hardship, SO
that there the intellect is awake and
reads the laws of the universe

IDEAL FOR THE LAZY MAN
Real Utopia Around Madagascar,
Where One Needs to Work Only
rs Days Year.

If you are awfully tired of working
for your living and have about de-
cided that life is altogether too
strenuous for comfort, then go to the
islands around Madagascar. For there
you would only have to work about
rs days year and could support your
self and family in all possible COM
fort
People do not need to work so hard
if they are only willing to try some
thing new, says an English historian,
according to the Rohoboth Sunday
Herald. There are other places where
the necessities of life can be had for
practically nothing and many of the
Injuries, too, for a little effort. Now
there are the islands around NADIA
gascar. They number some 10000,
and only 600 of them are inhabited.
Nature is wonderfully lavish. man
can own a whole island himself or
live on one that is already peopled.
Land is abundant and, like the air and
water, it has no price.

yours-all kinds of the finest fruits
bananas, melons, oranges, figs, pine
apples and berries-and you don't
have to go without such delicacies as
figs and citron. There is plenty of
tobacco to be had and all the coffee
that you could possibly drink. Then
there is domestic poultry in great
numbers, fat tailed sheep and goats
that you could cook up into all sorts
of luscious dishes.
You wouldn't have to be afraid of
your life all the time for fear you
were going to be run over the rext
moment, either, for there isn't single
automobile in any of the islands.

Abbey of TheIema.

There was no actual abbey Of Thel-
ema. 1t was a dream of the great
Rabelais-a very beautiful dream, too
and if you wish to know all about it
you will simply have to read the last
seven chapters of Rabelais' "Gargan-
tua." On page 1853 of William Henry
Hudson's delightful book, THE Story
of the Renaissance, you will find a
charming reference to the abbey of
Thelema," which ybu would do well
to read.-Exchange

Unmatched Men Are Honest.

There are restaurants downtown
where thousands of men are put on
their honor every week. They go into
these luncheon rooms. select the food
they wish, eat it and when they pass
out, pay the cashier whatever they
want to.
DO these men cheat?" l asked the
proprietors of two such places.
Not more than once in 200 times
does anybody pay us too little" said
one of them. THE loss is so stirling
it is not worth while bothering about,

Why not have a laboratory OF safe

of preserving the health and physical

many safety devices already offered,
the average manufacturer is some.
what in the dark as to the appliances
which best could befit his business.
With this idea in view, it is pro-
posed that a stan Of competent engi.
neers be appointed whose sole duty II
shall be to test the numerous appll.
ances offered and decide whether they
are fitted to the various industries
they represent.
Fire prevention naturally would
prove one Of the biggest subjects to
be taken under consideration. Many
inventions have to do with hose, doors.
shutters, ETC., and under present con.
ditions the only way for a factory
owner to determine their value is to
put them to a test-those tests oft
times being made under conditions
where q great loss in human life re-
