Nature did not give you intelli-

all that you can ever receive, enter YOUR
head either through the eye or the ear
Each voluntary or involuntary glance of
the eye, and each sound which enters
your ear, is registered in or on a brain
cell there to remain forever, even though
you may forget the occurrence.
You cannot help seeing, and you can
not help hearing. Much of what you see
and what you hear may be of little or no
consequence to you, and it would seem a
waste of brain material to record these
sensations; but, as you cannot avoid this
recording, it behOoves you to determine,
as far as is within your power. what you
shall see and what you shall hear.
You must see and you must hear any,

eye and the ear, or will you allow them
to run amuck?

which he does not attempt to regulate,
and which he allows to play havoc with
his brain. Another man, while he can
not avoid that which is before him and
around him, discriminates, focuses his
eyes and turns his ears toward the sights
and sounds which will add to his stock
of information.
II is as easy to see and hear intelIi-

presSions and sensations.
It is impossible for the bright and in

chair at his desk, to mIngle with his fel.
low men, without obtaining something
worth while TO him, to his work, and to
the world at large.
II is not enough TO receive. for mere

THE GREAT WHITE WAY
By o. o. M'INTYRE.

Special Correspondent to The Herald:
New York, Feb. When Phil Simms,
the American correspondent, was helping
Ambassador Herrick with the relief work
in Paris he became acquainted with a
Partisan journalist who was very much
opposed to the notebook-very dear to his
associates.
He wears large. white cuffs, and on
these he jots down such events as ap-
peal to him. A first his laundress in one
of the suburbs was much puzzled by the
hieroglyphics, but as time went on she
became able TO read them and apparently
derived much benefit and pleasure there
from.
One day the journalist received with
his laundry slip of paper on which was
written:
Your last washing was very inter
esting, but we should be glad to have
Just a trife more war news"
New York has gone knitting mad and
even the men are knitting, although they
are doing it privately. The Tuesday
Knitting Club reported that one of their
members-a man-living in Boston had
knitted a scarf while on trip from
Boston to San Francisco.
He occupied a drawing room that he
might knit in seclusion- A drawing room
costs from IS to 800 more than a berth
and there are some people who believe
that he might have purchased at least
three scarfs-or. as the 81 necktie places
say, scarves-for that money.
Writes a humorist to a funny column
here: My knitting society met last
night. We received a knitted sleeping
bag for a Belgian policeman knitted by
a man who has given up the presidency
of a large corporation in order to knit.
A deep sea sailor was shipwrecked on
the shoals OF Broadway at two bells the
other morning and was chucked into the
lobby hatch in irons at the West Side
police station. His name is Eugene Cue
cuscuno, off an Austrian liner.
He was cruising around the capes near
Broadway and Fifty-first street and spied
a taxicab unmoored and her engine
snorting. He climbed aboard and took
the helm and he must have stepped on
something vital for the vessel shot back
ward. There was a cry of sailor IN
distress on a stormy night.
The taxi carooned and performed
sharp left oblique, then it swerved and
started to box the compass, buzzing
around in a circle. Autos and street cars
stopped and the deep sea salt had the
choppy sea to himself. He almost run
over six policemen which is not a chubby
thing to do if you know your New York.
After a chase the runaway taxi was
finally caught and the sailor rushed down
the gangplank to a patrol wagon which
steamed up. The police say was
rumless jag, but the sailor had to pay
a five spot for disorderly conduct
