Aaron Bancroft, the father OF the
great American historian, was Mas
sachusetts clergyman who revolted
against the stern theology of the day.
The young minister found himself held
at arms length by the surrounding
clergy. In "The Life and Letters Of
George Bancroft" Mr.. NJ. A. De W.
Howe quotes the following item from
the old minister's Memoranda"
IAN honest but not very intelligent
farmer Of my parish some ten years
ago accosted me in this manner:
"Well, Mr.. Bancroft what do you
think the people of the old parish say
of you nowY
II answered. 4 hope something very
good
'gThey say, IF we find fault with
him he does not mind it at all, and If
we praise him he does not mind 1t, but
keeps steadily on his own way. We
therefore have concluded that it is best
to let him alone
"oThe farmer mentioned the fact as
a subject Of laughter, but l thought
and still think that, taking the declara-
ton in its bearings, 1t was the prettiest
compliment l have received through
my whole life"

II on any point we have attained to
certainty we make no further inquiry
on that point, because inquiry would
be useless. The doubt must intervene,
before the investigation can begin.
We have the act of doubling as the
necessary antecedent of all progress.
Here we have that skepticism the
very name Of which is an abomina-
ton to the ignorant, because 1t dis
turbs their complacent minds, because
it imposes on them the fatigue of In
quiry and because it rouses even slug
gish understandings to ask IL things
are as they are commonly supposed
and II all is really true which they
from their childhood have been taught
to believe.-From Buckles History of
Civilization"

A HANDWRITING Test.


ut is a curious fact" said q promi-
nent handwriting expert the other day,
shat If document were put before
me and were asked the sex of the
writer | should probably fail. People
generally are accustomed to think that
the masculine or feminine tempera-
ment will readily betray itself in writ
ing, but | assure you such is not the
case. Bold, black and firm penmanship
will frequently be found the character
istic of woman, while delicate writ
ing, indicating a lively fancy, expected
in a woman, will belong to a member
of the opposite sex. You can test this
statement for yourself. Take, say,
twenty envelopes written by people
you know and number them carefully.
Pass them around and see how many
will name correctly the sex of the writ
ers. You will seldom find that more
than one-third of the guesses will be
right"

for thus trespassing on the precious
time Of such a being. Your fame he

Boats Without Metal.

Without nails, crews or bolts the
ingenious natives of Anam, a country
lying south of China within the French
protectorate, are able to build strong.
light boats, some of them of large size,
containing no metal Of any kind, says
Popular Mechanics. Their sampans, as
the native boats are called. are made
of five planks Joined together without
curving or the use of ribs from one end
to the other The planks used are
pierced at intervals of about eight
inches at points directly opposite each
other. These perforations form NOR
tises in the shape of double eyelets,
through which rattan ropes are passed.

joints are calked with vegetable fiber.
and over these joints are laid short
lengths Of board, tapping over one an
other. These act as stiffeners, strongly
reinforcing the boat from end to end

We were talking about development
in medical science when a prominent

more years the writing of any pre-
scriptions for medicine will be a very

''Well," replied this observant stu

the work, and what they cannot do
physicians will know that ordinary
drugs will be unable to accomplish"

Immunity Of Children.

Professor Armbruster asserts that
the reason very young children are rel

is that their hearts beat so much more
rapidly than those of older persons
that the blood flows swiftly through
the arteries. and this swiftness Of flow

undermining the Roundup,

Each year seems to give the auto.
mobile new hold on life. The war
brought 1t to the forefront in a new
held. The soldier of the present day
seldom makes long forced marches
like Sherman's march to the sea. He
travels by motor car. AS result, the
automobile casualty list is tremen-
dous; the average life of a car in the
battle line is estimated at thirty days.
But it is not only the war zone that
mas lost part OF its picturesQueness
through the use of the automobile,
The latter has begun to rob the an
nual cattle roundup of some of it's
thrills by replacing the horse. This
year has seen the ubiquitous car with
a cowboy at its wheel on our western
prairies, discouraging the cattle from
attempts to escape from the evelsnar-
rowing circle in the roundup. Many a
steer which has given a COW horse a
run must feel disconnected when it
bucks up against the four.wheeled
steed.-Wall Street Journal.

his wife Elizabeth Barbara Muller,
She died April 80, 1915, and her son

prior to his mothers death, but since
all the property had been enjoyed by
