STANDARD NEVER TOO HIGH
Well for a Man to Report to Himself
Occasionally. TO See II He 10
Headed Right.

Look here, Mr.. Man, what is the
use in trying to deceive yourself about
some of those mean little character
istics which cling to you?
Why should you try to make your
self believe that you're not so bad as
you are. Our family has a pretty
good name; | guess if everyone were
as good as We are, this world wouldn't
be so bad" Yes, you'll hear this re-
mark; and you'll know that the speak
er will never be any better than his
ideals.
A great chef told his class that il
they had ever tasted a dish better
than the one they had prepared, theirs
was not good. He did not say, BE
content that you don't find many
dishes better than yours"
A man is no better than his stand
ard, and if his standard is the best
in all the world, it is none too good.
Don't deceive yourself. You have
a real job on your hands.
If you are not convinced of the fact,
try to break yourself of certain mean
little traits that crop out occasionally.
Once you realize how persistently they
return you'll be surprised.
Put yourself on probation for a
while. Report to yourself at inter
walls, and see if you haven't a Job as
your own probation officer.-Exchange

Wisdom of the Second Generation.

In the good old days, when l was
a boy" states Gaunt N. Grimm, and
children were browbeaten until they
were satisfied to be seen and not
heard, it was easy for their elders to
run the bluff all over them that be-
cause they were older they were nec-
essarily wiser. But today, with the
increase of decency in the treatment
of children and the many avenues OF
enlightenment that are open to them
that were not provided for me, 1t has
got so the rising generation is posi-
lively overbearing in its smartness.
The youngsters not only know more
than l do, but they prove 1t on me
SO conclusively that at times l feel
like going to live in the tree-grown
wildwood in order to find company suf-
ficiently ignorant to be congenial.-
Kansas City Star.

GENIUS KEPT IN HARNESS
Writer Interestingly Describes condl-
ton Of American Literature Just
Before Civil War.

George Santayana in the New Re-
public writes of the STIFFNESS Of
American literature before the Civil
war: 1T would have been an inter
esting thing if thunderclap had sud-
denly broken that cloudless new-world
haying-weather, and If a cry Of exas-
peration had escaped some strong
soul, surfeited by the emptiness and
blandness of that prim little moral
circle that thought it had overcome
everything, when in fact 1t had touched
nothing. But to the genteel mind of
America, before Walt Whitman and
the Civil war, there was no self-re-
speeding opposition. OF course, in that
bcundless field of convention, prosper
ity and mediocrity any wild poppy
might struggle up weedily here and
there amid the serried corn. But the
irregular genius had no chance. He
felt sincerely ashamed Of himself. He
hid his independence, fed to the back
woods or to Europe, and his sad case
was hushed up as If it had been in
sanity (for insanity was hushed up
too) and buried with a whisper under
the vaguely terrible epitaph dissipated.
He probably died young; at any rate
he never did anything. Whoever
was embarrassed was lost"

Heroic French Priests.

A French lieutenant, the cure Of a
small village in Champagne, has just
been mentioned in the orders OF the
day for the brilliant manner in which
he led bayonet charge. The colonel
of the regiment has made special re-
port on the priests valor. 1T is pity
we cannot keep him in the army after
the war is over" he says.
Questioned on the suggestion that
he should remain a soldier, the priest
declared, IF l perform with Joy my
duty as a soldier, l do not forget that
my dear little parish will need me
when the war is over. In February
passed by my closed church. hope
to open it safe, and say a De Profun-
dis for my dear soldiers, and after
ward TIE Deum' of thanks for vic
tory"
The courage of the French priests
in battle has been one Of the features
of the war.

CITY Of Parks.

There are 1872 parks in greater New
York. But New Workers don't know
that. The chances are If nine out OF
ten of them were asked to state at
once which is the largest park belong
ing to New York, they would answer
promptly, Van Cortlandt." Some
would even answer Central park" But
Pelham Bay park is ga acres greater
In extent than Van Cortlandt, and Alb
greater than Central park. Pelham
Bay park contains trees that are a
thousand years old, and still vigorous.
The mother of all New York's parks is
Bowling Green, which is all Of half an
acre in extent, and the father of them
is the Battery, which is 81 acres. The
most picturesque and classic Of the
parks is Morningside, and the most
populous is Tompkins Square.

LIFE AND LONGEVITY.

What really constitutes life? Is 1t
action, or is it merely existence?
Which is the more useful. the man
who gives his all in energy to serv-
ice. or he who conserves his forces
and thereby prolongs his days? He
lives most who aCcOmplishes most;
activity in useful, productive or con
struCtive effort is the real test OF
life. Length Of years may content
some, but restless. energetic souls
will press forward, regardless of
time, striving for a goal they may
never attain, but always striving, and
these only really live. Life insurance
presidents. being interested in the
prolongation of existence of risks,
bend their efforts to the teaching OF
elements OF living, the avoidance of ex-
posures, or unnecessary risk or any
kind, and in this way really serve the
world, because they increase the pro-
ductive years of man. AS result OF
modern methods, man really lives
longer and better; but this is not the
all-in-all life. To live is to be active,
to have a part In the creative effort
Of mankind, regardless of whether
the span be long or short, so long as
it is busy, for an end IS an end,
whether 1t cometh on the winged
heels OF a week or on the dull stretch
OF a century"

Useful Work Eugenists Can Do.

1T is time for the friends or
eugenics,' writes DR.. w. C. Rucker,
assistant surgeon general United
States public health service, In the
Journal of Heredity, ito stop promot-
ing such legislation as that herein out
lined sterilization and restrictions on
marriage) and to divert more of their
energy to a broad, constructive policy
for the furtherance of eugenics. They
may, for example, very profitably help
to:
Promote research in heredity;
Disseminate a knowledge of the
laws of heredity;
Create eugenic conscience in the
public;
Give the young people of their &C
quaintance a chance to meet and fall
in love with suitable life partners;
Further every means that will re-
move some of the social and economic
bars to marriage and parenthood that
now tell so heavily on our eugenically
superior classes"

The Obstacles to Evil.

In the constitution Of our nature
limit has been fixed to the triumph OF
evil. Falsity in theory is everywhere
confronted by the facts which present
themselves to every mans observa-
ton. A lie has not power to change
the ordinances of God. Every day dis
closes its utter worthlessness until It
fades away from our recollection and
is numbered among the things That
were. The indissoluble connection
which our Creator has established be-
tween vice and misery tends also con-
tinually to srrest the progress Of evil.
and to render odious whatever would
render evil attractive.-Francis Way.

The objection to slang is its ineff-
cheney. People get into the habit OF
using it because, they say, 1T is so ex-
pressive." But the fact is otherwise,
as was demonstrated generations ago
by a satirist of the slang of an earlier
age, who illustrated the feebleness OF
slang by quoting young lady exclaim-
ing: Il owned it was vawstly pretty
because it was so vawstly small. y
Think of the inadeQuacy of the at
tempt of a twentieth century slang
whanger to praise the great English
dramatist by exclaiming: Take it
from me, old Bill Shakespeare was
some poet"

Someone criticizes the use of shell"

Someone criticizes the use OF SHELF
as a verb. He asserts that Ito permit
gunners to shell a place is in defiance
of all conceivable rules of grammar,
shell" being a noun and not a verb.
But verbs have been made out OF
nouns from time immemorial. How
did the martyr Stephen meet his fate?
Was he not stoned to death? Does
not the charging party bayonet de-
tenders of the trenches? Does not a
player bat a ball? Here, however,
there is a chance for argument as
to whether the noun gave rise to the
verb or the verb to the noun.

SlAVONIC NAMES.

As the newspaper reader is likely to
be in conflict with Polish and Russian
names for some time to come it may
be we'll for him to take such aids as
may be proffered in the attempt that
he may make to achieve their pronun-
citation. A British linguist gives some
information concerning the word
"Przemysl." He says that "Zhemeesl
is the practical method of expressing
its sound, and if the speaker cares to
put the shadow of the echo OF
dream of letter p" before it, he will
then be nearly correct. as it is hui
manly possible to get. The syllable
"mysl," says this authority, is both
Polish and Russian for thought, or
craft" in the sense OF "handicraft-
and pre-" is analogous to the prefix
pre-" as anciently the place was
city for the trades or handicrafts. Eng
lish speaking people have a concep-
ton of the Nv" as vowel, which does
not exist among the Slavonic races
Where we say Cracow or Krakow. the
proper pronunciation is Krakuf. The
Russian, where We set wv as a con-
Guiding letter. has 1t as double or
a single or double (. There are many
difficult names which become easy
when 1t is realized that go equals
"" or 81" and wv" equals w. or
II" and "prz" equals approximate
ly "zh."

Fishes and birds have an advantage

Fishes and birds have an advantage
over human beings in their ability 10
see on both sides of them. Their eyes
are set not for looking straight ahead,
but for looking out on each side. That
is because they balance their bod
les forward and backward. A bird can
watch the tips of both wings at once;
the pilot of an aeroplane has to turn
his head from side to side to see his
wing tips.

The gaekwar of Baroda, an Indian
prince, has a battery of artillery con-
sisting of gold and silver guns. There
are four guns, two gold and two OF
silver. The gold guns were made in
1874 by an artisan of Lahka, who
worked on them for five years. They
weigh 400 pounds each, and except for
