visitors two cents-two cents in real

"And what are you going to do
with the money!" asked Aunt Mary.

advantage of the dates over meat is
that they keep splendidly If kept from

ways of serving dates, the manner

HUMAN CURIOSITY.
An Evil and Bore at Times, but, on
the Whole, Grand Quality.

An Evil and a Bore at Times, but, on
the Whole, Grand Quality.
Humanity has never been able to sat
Isfy itself as to whether curiosity be a
virtue or a vice. When inconvenient it
is labeled as vice; when it leads to
discovery or adds to knowledge it is
applauded as a virtue of the highest
order. Certainly it is an instinct deeply
ingrained in human nature. On it the
whole of the progressive steps Of child
hoods career are based. The first intel
ligent expression of the infant is won
der; this quickly develops into active
curiosity, until life becomes an enthrall-
ing and GREATNESS voyage of discovery.
Its possession is the great distinction
between youth and the purlieus Of age.
Youth is passed when the sensation of
adventure is ended, when, instead Of
boundless expectation and of curiosity
that penetrates into all the corners of
existence, a man is content to take
things as they are, when eagerness
gives way to complacency and ques-
tioning to the cynicism of experience.
Human curiosity may be stihed, but
merctfully it never can be killed. In It's
best form it raises man above the level
Of the rest of creation; it becomes the
desire to know, to penetrate to the root
of things, to ascend to the stars and
wrest from them their secrets, to solve
the problems of the past. the present
and the future, At it's worst it may be
low and vulgar. unworthy prying into
