NATIVES HARD TO EDUCATE
1t Is Doing in the Society
Islands.

On the theory that who can add two
and two to make four possesses the
beginnings of an education, the
French Colonial authorities have
caused the neat gray school buildings
of Tahiti, Society islands, to be en-
bellished with an imposing signboard
bearing the legend: plus 2 equals
4. STEPPED in inherited superstition
this simple symbol of erudition is re-
garded with reverent awe by the ma
tive Tahitians. To them it epitcmizes
the ascendancy Of the dominant Gaul.
Nude, save for the ubiquitous red
and white calico pareu (knee-length
skirt, the 1.-the brown youths and
maidens of this tropical paradise pre-
sent grotesque appearance at the
modern school desks patiently grap-
pling with the three RS. Marvelously
quick to learn, these ''sons of the
sun" are even quicker to forget, and
in majority of cases, after laborious-
ly acquiring an education, they cast it
aside like an outworn garment and re-
grass-thatched huts under the spread
ing palms. The pomp and circunl-
stance attending the opera bouffe rule
of the French colonial "adninistra-
ton" appeals strongly to the native
taste, and if the government is lax
and inefficient, the ever lighthearted
and chilI,'ke islanders find little fault.

TO MAKE AlRSHIP INVISIBLE
Inventors at Work on Project That
Would Seem to Present Some
Difficulties.

The newest idea in the construction
of aeroplanes, especially for use in
war time, is to render them as nearly
transparent as possible. To this end
studies are now being made of eel
luloids and other materials which
might possibly be utilized as wings,
and which would Re sufficiently trans
parent to make them less conspicuous
in the sky than are materials now in
use.
While the primary object in making
aeroplanes transparent is to prevent
them from being seen by the enemy,
it would have an added advantage in
permitting the aviator to see in all
directions, and thus render his air
scout work more efficient. Several
machines have been put into operation
within the last three months which
are equipped with transparent wings
of uninflammab-e celluloid and are al
most invisible when a few hundred
feet in the air.
A new mufIiing box has also been
devised which serves to still further
deaden the sound and thus enables
the operator to get close to the enemy
without his presence being detected.
The substitution of the specially pre-
pared celluloid for the canvas is ex-
pected to mark a distinct advance in
aeroplane manufacture, although it is
as yet too recent a development to
have established its reliability.

THE coMPLAINER.

You are not altogether satisfied with
yourself, with others, with your en-
vironment with conditions. Nobody is
satisfied. Neither you nor anybody
else will ever be completely satisfied.
Full satisfaction leads to stagnation.
The satisfied man is fool, intoxicated
with his own satisfaction, never sober
enough to do more than stagger along
the road Of life.
The complete optimist is no better
than the contented pig in the well-kept
sty.
Regulated dissatisfaction, dissatis-
faction based upon fact, is a forerun-
ner of success.
There is, however, wide gulf be
tween legitimate dissatisfaction and
that which consumes the chronic COM
palmer, the disreputable knocker, and
the everlasting kicker.
Life is made up of alternatives and
negatives. One without the other is
incomplete. The two properly blended
are part of the composition of success.
The habitual complainer is an enemy
to himself, and he is despised by all
with whom he comes in contact He is
failure at the start, and will be
failure as long as he INDUCES in
chronic dissatisfaction.
Conversely, the complete optimist is
dangerous to himself and a menace to
society, because he does not know
enough to get out of the ruts or to
keep from stumbling into holes.
Dissatisfaction has a value only
when it spurs one ON to better effort
When it deadens ones faculties, as it
often does, and takes the gimp out of
him, so to speak, it is an evil Of the
most virulent form.
Nobody likes the constant complain
er. He has no friends. He does not
occupy any position of responsibility
and he never will. He cannot manage
himself or command others. He has
no respect for himself and nobody re-
spects him. He is no better than a
dead log floating on the stream, accom-
plishing nothing and serving only as a
menace to navigation.
Everybody has troubles, and while
every decent man is willing to help
others, he cannot afford to give moro
than part of his time tn listening to
complaints, and he should not give any
of his time to those which are not
legitimate ones and which he cannot
assist in remedying.
Keep your troubles to yourself or
confine them to your immediate
friends. Ninety per cent of trouble
doesn't appear. 1t exists wholly in the
mind.
Don't make a specially CT worrying.
There is real trouble to worry about,
and enough to keep you busy.
Kick when there is something real
to kick at. You will strain yourself
and sprain your leg if you kick at
nothing.

VARIES WITH THE SEASONS
Foliage colored by Nature to Core
spond With the Changes That
the Months Bring.

The foliage of summer is generally
mature, green, sober There is e GER
tain warmth and gayety about the leaf
progress of June and early july and
a vast variety in shades, as we'll so
that any body of trees and shrubs of
varying kinds will display anything
from the youngest light yellow leaves
of the Norway naples to the deep,
even green of the horse-chestnuts. To
ward the first of August the leaves
are quite or nearly fullgrown, and
they have settled down to their real
work of celebrating food for the trees
that bear them.
MY water-color friend, Little, has
discovered in this color maturity an
other confirmation of his theory that
there is a sort of color compensation,
a chromatic balance, of the seasons.
In spring, the air and the ground are
cool, though slowly absorbing heat.
and the leaves and flowers are warm
in hue-there are the really hot col
ors of the tulips, the. yellows of some
tree blossoms, and so on. AS the
bGdoOll wal llog JhO lOlld6O anu ilONNA
hues become in general cooler, u"til
in summer we have the deep green Of
mature leaves, the deep blue of the
white-dotted sky, and the blues and
whites of the garden. When cooler
nights begin to come, the summer
foliage is likely to assume hints of
brown, the corn takes on the colors
of maturity, and we have the decided
ly warm-hued chrysanthemums, pur-
pie asters, and the like, to compen-
safe. The sharp weather of winter
demands all possible heat from ma
ture's color scheme, and we have it
in the Drowned leaf, following the
brilliant and not cool hues of autumn,
in the cornshock and the bare tree
stem, and even in the shadows on the
snoW-Countryside Magazine.

BRAZIL GETS A NEW BIBLE
Will Undoubtedly Prove a Great Aid
to the Language as Well
as Morals.

A new translation Of the Bible into
Portuguese has just been completed.
Brazil, not Portugal, is the country
where the larger part of this edition
will be sent. Brazil is the greatest of
Portuguese-speaking populations, al
though it used to be said that 10000
users of that language lived around
Honolulu, city in Uncle Sans terri
tory. Maybe they all know English
now.
Aside from its moral values, the
Bible is particularly needed in Brazil,
it is sad, as an aid to preserving the
standard forms of language. AS a
matter of history, no book has exerted
an equal influence in lands where
English is read and spoken. The
phraseology of the King James YER
sion is interviewer through modern lit
erature. Its general use on this con-
tinent, where new conditions and a
strong tendency to slang would make
for rapid change, has had steadying
effect on our vocabulary.
1t isn't likely that the classic beauty
of the English Bible has been paral-
leled in Portuguese But even re-
spectacle rendering of book which
has proved it's universal appeal in
every land will help in more ways
than one. Brazil is growing rapidly.
Every means should be used to pre-
serve its moral and linguistic stand
ards.-New York Evening Sun.

Pronouns and eenders.

Our ability to personify sea ship
by using the pronoun "she" and to
keep the Zeppelin in place as "it"
brings out one strong point of our
language.
1t is impossible to be so subtle in
French, which has no neuter or in
German, with its arbitrary scattering
of genders. Mark Twain gave as a
typical instance of good German:
Wilhelm, where is the turnip?" "She
has gone to the kitchen" Where is
the accomplished and beautiful Eng
lish maiden?" 1T has gone to the
opera"
Mark went on to observe that in
Germany tree is male, its buds fe-
male, its leaves neuter; horses are
sexless; dogs male, cats female-in-
cluding tomcats. By some oversight
of the inventor. of the language a
woman is female; but wife (weib)
is not.-London Chronicle.

WOMEN HAVE NEVER FAILED
All History Shows Their Quickness
to Respond When Duty Has
Called Them.

II Great Britain really needs any
form of military service from her
women, she has but to speak the
word and millions of volunteers will
respond. Lord Kitchener could begin
organizing corps of amazons tomor-
row If he chose to ask volunteers for
such service. The women of the Brit
lsh races, in the home isles and on
this continent, have ever been ready
to serve their country effectively in
time of war. When Mr.. Lincoln was
unwillingly drafting men into the
army, women were volunteering for
all sorts of service. At times then
and since the number of such volun-
teers for hospital service has been
embarrassingly large. The women of
the Confederacy made amazing sac
rifices to aid the ragged armies in
the field. Some of them took their
lives in their hands and acted as
spies. Thousands and hundreds Of
thousands sewed and knitted and
spun, and not few actually worked
in the cornfelds and cottonfields. The
need for such work was not so grave
in the North, but millions of women
above Mason and Dixon's line were
ready to volunteer for any service
that the government at Washington
might require Of them. In all this,
the women on both sides but initiated
their great-grandmothers of the Revo-
luton. No modern war has been
fought without the aid of women, and
such women were always volunteers.
Men sometimes have to be dragooned
to serve their country, but thus far in
human history the simple call to duty
has been sufficient for the women Of
any nation.-Vogue
