Pretty Bad.

The barber was very busy. and the shop was full of men waiting for him to practice his tOnsOrial art upon their heads and faces.
 One man. Mir Blank, became tired of waiting for his turn to come and started to leave. Although his beard had come out pretty heavy, he thought no one would notice 1t and that lie could come back the next morning when Hughes. the barber. was not so very busy. The barber. not wishing customer to go away unattended to, accosted him by saying. You're not leavin' us, is you. Mir. Blank?"
 MT. Blank felt of his face and re- piled. Why. I don't need shave. dc I Hughes?'
 Hughes thereupon looked his GUS toner over critically and answered him assuredly: No. youse don't need d shave. All youse needs is a haircut on de face. ."-National Monthly.

An offender,s First Arrest.

Thc first SEo x of arrest and iMrrit. Cnmcnt k tn th, first offender th' great crisis of his life. He realizes suddenly and vividly that the state k not mere. ly political abstraction out uf long forgotten school book. but thing alive. armed with jaw and claw. The effect of this is overwhelming. There lives no human animal more pcnitent and plastic than the first offender on his first day in prison. On that day of all days the state can mold him easily to its civic needs. Turn him over to a man who believes in the bottom good in him: teach him a trade whereby he may learn tc support himself honestly when released: give him q share in his earnings. so that he may, even though in prison, support his innocerE wife and helpless children or. if he iS alone. save a bit of capital against that black est day of liberation-in othc: words, give him work and hope. the two things which all men need in order 10 live-and you will have set him on the road to citizenship. Deprive him of work and hope and you will as surely have set him on the road to criminal ity.-From The Man Tn the Cage"

Hinh Einance In China.

It Is an established custom in China that new company must pay divi- dends to its shareholders from the first years of its existence. and this forms invariably Il clause of the articles of association. Some concerns which fail to realize a profit have to contract q high interest loan in order to pay divi- dends in full. It Is this practice that cOmpels companies to contract loan after loan until they are plunged into helpless state. Furthermore. when a new company is established 1t is from the start tied down to system of commission paying. In every pur' chase as we'll as in every sale of the company a commission goes with 1t. which is therefore counted into every payment and receipt. thus occasioning the need of an unnecessarily large amount of capital.-Argonaut.

Modesty of Bach.

From the time when Bach was sn fortunate as to receive the appointment of OrgIuiSt at Ain@tait. with all an- nual salary of SEQ tU $S0. his desires were apparently fulfilled. He sought for no higher post. and only when a new one was offered him did he ac- cept it thankfully as a gift of provt dence. In every new position it was his only aspiration to do his duty faith fully. and accordingly he made his gifts serve his place, so that as an or ganist he composed organ pieces; as the Weimar chapelmaster psalms and sacred cantataS and chamber music and as the musical director of the St. Thom as school his great polyphOnic. difficult vocal works. Kings and princes not infrequently commanded him to play to them. He did their will modestly and. fully satisfied. returned to his simple home. He must have known that he was the greatest organ vii tuOso in the world. and at that time great master of this instrument was we'll rewarded. He was highly esteem. ed in France. England and HoS' nd but was never known to express tho wish of setting his foot on foreign soil Johann Friedrich RochlitZ.

Difficult Tradinu.

The trade between India and Tibet has to be carried through lofty pass es between 14.0O0 and 1S,000 feet high, most of which are practically impassd ble during seasons of heavy rain and snow. Sheep and also crosses between yaks and ordinary cattle are used as beasts of burden. The most important route into Tibet from India is from Siliguri, near Darjeeling in northern Bengal. and across the small frontier state of Sikkim to Gyantse and Iatung in Tibet. the two leading trade marts authorized by the existing convention. The other chief means of access to Tibet are from Almora. in the north ern part of the united provinces, and from Simla over the Simla-Tibet road to Gartok in western Tibet, which is at about 14,200 feet elevation above the sea.

Credit.

Credit is an estimate of your capac- ity to worry about paying your bills which is held about you by lot of total strangers. Credit is also a belief held of your ability to pay for some thing long after you have ceased to de rive any benefit from 1t. Credit is like wise gauge of your willingness to deceive yourself into the belief that you can afford to buy something be cause you cannot pay cash for 1t. If everybody paid cash there would be no bond issue. no huge clerical forces, no national debts, no armies or mili- tary systems. no schools such as exist today. no war. no degenerate fashions nothing but plain, everyday living. Credit enables everybody to live a fic- titious existence. Nothing exceeds like credit.-Life.

MotherIand,

It is a suggestive fact. and one well worth noting-although we have no recollection of having ever heard at tention called directly to it-that Brit OnS are the only people in the world who speak of the home of their race as the motherland. The Jews were and are. the ''Children of Israel" Pales- tine was and is. to them always the Land of Our Fathers Rome was "patria" to her citizens. France is "La Patrie" to her sons and daughters. Germany is distinctively the father land'' to all its people. The same is true of every existing nation of impor- tance. so far as we are aware. Even the national hymn of the United States appeals to Our Fathers God" Brit aims children reyerently think and speak of their motherland.-HaliraX Chronicle.
