A complete course of instruc-

school of the soldier. Later rifles
will be used and lectures will

All fishes have air bladders in their bodies
which enable them to rise and fall in the
water at will. Near the bottom the weight
of the water congresses these bladders. 1t
is because fish can regulate the dilation
and contraction of the air bladder that it
can control at pleasure, its depth.

Our Fathers Business

1t was boy twelve years old who said
81 must be about my Fathers business.
And he did not mean the business of the
carpenter shop, in Nazareth, sixty miles
away. God was his real Father, not JOS
eph, and his business at that time lay right
there in the house where he was, and the
book he was studying, Boys don't expect
to go into business till they get through
school; but indeed education is business
and the schoolroom is their workshop.
But whether it be home, or school, or shop,
or store, the right minded boy will feel, if
he does not say, 81 am about my Father S
business. Henry Dummond, that great lover
of boys has this to say:
"Sooner or later we find out that life is
not a Holiday, but discipline. Earlier or
later we discover that the world is not a
pIayground-it is quite clear that God
means it for a school. The moment we
forget that, the puzzle of life begins. We
try to play in school; she Master does not
mind that so much for his own sake, for
He likes to see his children happy, but in
our playing we neglect our lessons. '-Ex.

Brazila Land of Promise

Brazil is not Spanish America. 1t is
Portuguese America, and the republic of
Brazil is distinct and separate. No one un-
acquainted with Brazil seems to realize what
tremendous area it represents and to con-
fuse it with the West coast and even the Ri
yer Plate is to make a commercial mistake.
In the very first place, experience with
Spanish America does not necessarily carry
an intimate acquaintance with Portuguese
America. Brazil by itself deserves all the
time man can give to it. For instance,
there is South Brazil, which includes the
states of Rio Grande do Sui, Santa Catha-
rna and Parana and the new railroad which
crosses them is opening up good territory
for future settlement. Rio Grande do Sui
occupy and Puerto Allegro do not the whole
of this interior.
1t must be studied with the same purpose
which was given to Washington and Oregon
generation ago, The climate is not dis
similar, nor, in broad sense are civilizing
influences at work very dissimilar. 1t is
not unlike parts of Peru, Ecuador and b.
livia.-Ex.

Keep Silent

One of the biggest real estate operators in
the country used to say: "When keep
quiet and listen to the other fellow talk,
always learn something. If the person talk
ing can't teach me anything, don't listen
to him. If l want to talk, talk to myself
because l know always have an intelligent
listener" The man who knows how to
hold his tongue is a power because he has
conquered himself. In France, since the
war, they have a saying, ''Keep silent
be CAREFUL The enemy is listening!" Thus
they warn everyone that spies may be as
hand and what is said may be used later
against the country. This wartime precau-
ton is equally valuable in times of peace.
The loafer, the gadabout, the gossip-talk,
talk, talk. Talk is the the cheapest COM
modify we have and the most dangerous.
Silence is golden. 1t is the rarest jewel, and
no imitation has ever been made which near
ly approaches its beautv.-Ex.

A Psalm

In pastures green? not always: sometimes He
Who knoweth best in kindness leadeth me
In weary ways, where heavy shadows be,
Out of the sunshine, warm and soft and
bright,
Out of the sunshine into darkest night;
| oft would faint with sorrow and alright,
Only for this, know He holds my hand,
So whether in green or desert land
| trust, although may not understand.
And by still waters? No, not always SO;
Oftimes the heavy tempests round me blow.
And Der my soul the waves and pillows go.
But when the storm beats loudest, and | cry
Aloud for help, the Master standeth by
And whispers to my soul: 10, i, is T..
Above the tempest wild hear him say:
"Beyond this darkness lies the perfect day.
In every path of thine lead the way.
So whether on the hilltop high and fair
I dwell or in the sunless valley where
The shadow lie--whats matters? He is there.
And more than this; where er the Pathway
led,
He gives me no helpless, broken reed,
But His own hand sufficient for my need.
And where He leadeth can safely go;
| And in the blessed hereafter 1 shall know
Why, in His wisdom, He hath led me so.

The Square Deal''

Many of us seem to think that "square
deal" is what each of us is entitled to with
out bothering our heads to see whether the
other fellow gets one or not. In other
words we seem to think that we ought to
get the chest of the DEAL
Giving the other fellow the worst of it, is
poor way of trying to get ''square DEAL
for Ourselves. When we give the other fell
low ''square DEAL we can expect one in
return.
The fellow that bowls the loudest about
not getting ''square deal" generally has
no one to blame but himself. His actions
towards others are responsible, and when he
tries to "slip one over" on the other fellow
he generally finds that the other fellow has
forestalled him.
Just think this over, and when you mag
inc you are not getting "square DEAL Ell
Their from fellow-inmates or the officials of
the institution, see if the whole thing didn t
start when you failed to give the other fell
low the "square deal'' that he is entitled to
Just as much as you are.-The Umpire.

From Our Exchanges

No one is too poor to be respected.
My heart goes out to the man who is lost
in the work he is paid to do, whether that
man is welding rivet in a skyscraper;
whether he is paintings tower or working
tile, whether he stands at a wheel in the
mill or machine in the shop. Whether
he is writing book or painting picture
my heart goes out to that man whose mind,
in whose soul and whose religion are riveted
to the things he has selected as his part in
the Scheme of life. -Meader.

We no longer ''damn him with faint

admiring wonder as the true exponent of
American letters; as the very Jupiter Olym-

the very verge of the fantastic. is neverthe-

poem has affected millions in remarkable
manner. The intense melancholy which
seems to predominant the poem thrills us to

Liberty.

True liberty consists in the privilege of
enjoying our own rights, not in the de-
struction of the rights of others. Liberty
will not descend to people; people must
raise themselves to liberty; it is blessing
that must be earned before it can be enjoyed
Free will is not the liberty to do what
ever one likes, but the power of doing what
ever one sees ought to be done, even in the
very face of otherwise overwhelming i'm
pulse. There lies freedom indeed
False notions of liberty are strangely
common. People talk of it as if it means
the liberty of doing whatever one likes
whereas the only liberty that man, worthy
the name of man, ought to ask for, is, to
have all restrictions, inward and outward,
removed that prevents his doing what he
ought
The liberty of people consists in being
governed by laws which they have made
themselves, under whatsoever form it be of
government; the liberty of private man, in
being master of his own time and action
as far as may be consistent with the laws of
God and of his country.
If the true spark of religious and civil lib
erty be kindled, it will burn. Human
agency cannot extinguish it. Like the
earth's central fire. it may be smothered
for time; the ocean may overwhelm it;
mountains may press it down; but its in
herent and uncomfortable force will heave
both the ocean and the land. and at some
time, in some place or another, 1.-THE vol
cano will break out and flame to heaven. =

Modifying Medical Resources.

american manufacturers of medicin-
al products recently organized a ma
tional association, one of the announc-
Ell purposes of which is TO have ready
sufficient supply of pharmaceutical,
chemical and biological preparations
for use in time of war. That fore
sight in thus preparing for contingen-
cies is desirable may be illustrated by
the fact that one of the European ma
lions now at war not long ago sought
TO buy from an American producer
OF antitetanic serum a definite quan-
nty each month and was told that his
product was contracted for, and that
in order to fill the foreign order $50
additional horses would be required,
sanitary stables would have to be
provided, and under the most favor
able conditions delivery could not
begin until six months had elapsed
and an investment of S25O,OOO had
been guaranteed. Considerable time
Is required to produce serums, tox-
ms, antitoxins and the like, to say
nothing of an abnormal supply of
andseptic surgical dressings and all
the ordinary preparations required by
army surgeons and doctors.
The newly formed association has
memorialiZed the United States gov
eminent, asking that the nations re-
sources in medical supplies be de,
termined, and has pledged itself to
cooperate in the task of arranging
to secure an adequate quantity OF
necessary aids to medical and surgical
treatment of saAdiers in case of war
The subject not only is important in
itself, but it serves to illustrate once
more how complex is the task OF
preparing for national defense.

ROME GETS FAMOUS STATUE
Dispute Over Valuable Find. in Which
Julius Caesars Will Figured,
Ended in Favor of City.

A gift to Rome has finally been
made of the famous NiObide. the dis
puted ownership of which aroused
much public interest. The statue was
discovered eight years ago during dig
ging operations executed on land be-
longing to the Banca Commercials
upon the site of the ancient Horti Sal
lustlani. Due notice of the find was
given to the authorities, and the ex-
pert Psychologists sent te examine
the statue pronounced it a Greek orig
inal of exquisite workmanship and
great value.
Ownership was disputed by the mu-
nicipality of Rome, which claim was
based upon julius Caesars will, among
other historical data, and the Banca
Commercials, the actual owners of the
ground. After many vicissitudes, the
dispute has finally been settled by the
withdrawal of their claims, the Niobide
thus becoming the property of the
state. The statue will be added To
the collection in the Museo dele
Terme in Rome.
