What Bernard Shaw Said.

Bernard Shaw once gave expression
to one of the finest things he or any
one else ever said. Here it is: Keep
yourself clean. Remember you are
the window lights through which you
must view the world"
You may try to convince yourself
that it will not matter. to the outer
world whether or not the windows of
your life are kept clean. But there
Is one thing as certain as anything
can be certain, and that is that 1t
matters to you, whether it does to
anyone else or not, for II you cannot
get the right perspective on life and
upon all the various beauties that life
gives out, then you are cheating your
self.
Everything matters that has to do
with your individual happiness.

NEEDS THE CLOSEST WATCH
Heart Should Be Guarded Carefully to
Avoid Overstrainine of Most
Vital organ.

Deaths from heart trouble are re-
ported daily. and they seem to be in
creasing. The heart and the temper
of the age seem to keep in tune. If a
man runs to catch a train his hearts
work increases by 228 foot pounds a
minute. If he is in a hurry getting up
stairs, there is an increase Of the
hearts action by 1872 pounds. A rest
of half an hour a day would save in a
year $4,000 foot pounds of heart
work. Every time the heart contracts
its force would raise two pounds to
the height of one foot.
There is one great duty-to watch
the heart. 1t is weakened by anxiety,
excitement, bad temper and violent
controversy. as we'll as by going up
stairs or catching a train. 1t is this
exciting and rapid age that is bring
ing on so many deaths from heart
trouble. A person may not see the
close connection of these things, but
after a while it will come about with
out his knowing it.--Ohio State Jour

Howard induced the state to feed its

tives were cared for by charitable
groups; now the state provides for
these unfortunates. There will always
be opportunity for private philanthro-
ply to render signal services; but a

ORIGIN OF THE SPLIT SKIRT
English Explorer Reports Discovery
of the Vogue in Region as Far
Away as Papua.

1t will no doubt interest feminine
readers to learn that the slit skirt is
not exclusively q feature Of latter day
civilization. It seems, indeed, to be,
as some male critics have suspected,
a product Of savagery. Where the idea
originated is not quite certain. 1t has
been v~ariously attributed to Paris and
New York. The discovery has now
been made that this latest creation in
feminine attire is in vogue in places
where civilization is unknown, where
no white woman and very few white
men have ever set foot, and most of
those who have ventured there have
been killed and eaten.
In a report to the minister for exter-
nal affairs in regarding his recent ex
petition up the Fly river, in Papua,
Judge Murray of London, England,
states that he visited parts of the
territory which, as far as he was
aware. had not previously been ex-
plored. and one of the most interesting
of his discoveries was the fact that
all the women in one of the tribes
were wearing slit skirts. This style
of apparel seemed to have been ip
use for many years.

WORLD MISSION or CHlvALRY
OF Much Worth If Only to Create the
Useful Romance of
Action.

Chivalry served to draw out and de-
velop those free, bold spirits whose
talents could not have been evoked by
the disputations of the schoolmen nor
the notifications of the religious zeal
OTIS, says the Engineering Magazine. 1t
created a romance of action to match
the saints moral paradise and evoked
poetry and the arts to celebrate it's
charms. The love of the beautiful
which it begot caused q hospitabie re-
ception to be given in Europe to the
refnements brought from the East by
the returning crusaders, which caused
the first slight stirring Of international
trade.
The enthusiasm which the many
sided :deal of chivalry evoked with
its galaxy Of virtues, may be seen, in
Gt~eTafurs, u the unfolding of the
themes of the simple Aryan folk tales,
and the prose romances q. the twelfth
and thirteenth centuries, into the sen
