AS TO DIGNITY OF HISTORY
Times Have Changed Since Macauay Criticized Phrase Which Was
 Then Much in Vogue.

Macaulay wrote: "There is vile phrase of which bad historians are ex- ceedingly fond, the dignity of his- tory'"; and he proceeded, with his usual point and force, to show that, though historians should not record trifles, it is not always easy to distin- gush trifes from events of great im- pOrtance.
 There are trifies which are by no means trifling.
 Macaulay was comparing Sir W. Temples dispatches with the love let ters which, during q seven-years' courtship, passed between him and the lady who became his wife, and he was pleading on their behalf for attention and respect.
 They were, it is true, love letters, and not state papers; but love letters which betrayed the social feeling of a J period, od,.,.-....--..-......-.........--.....
 There is no need for any such plea today.
 The tendency now is to overlook what is official and grave and to hunt out the love letters, foibles, toys and trimmings of history.

USE ARABS TO FIGHT LOCUSTS
Soldiers Dig Trenches Into Which Matching Pests Were Driven
 and Destroyed.

Dtemal pasha put some thousands of Arab soldiers at my brothers dis position, and these were set to work digging trenches into which the hatch ing locusts were driven and destroyed. This is the only means of coping with the situation once the locusts get their wings, nothing can be done with them. It was hopeless fight. Nothing short of the cooperation of every farmer in the country could have won the day; and while the people of the progressive Jewish villages struggled on to the end-men. women and chil- dren working in the fields until they were eXhausted--the Arab farmers sat by with folded hands. The threats of the military authorities only stirred them to half-hearted efforts. Finally. nfter two months of toll, the campaign was given up and the locusts broke in waves over the countryside. destroying everything. As the Prophet Joel said ".The land Is as the Garden of Eden

WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF
Modern Science Has Taken Hand in Interpreting the "Visions of
 the Night"

Scientific dream interpretation helps gives us intimate glimpses of the sub- conscious as well as conscious desires, fears and modes of thinking that enter into the making of our character and the shaping of our conduct, according to H. Addington Bruce in Mothers Magazine.
 The compilers of the gaudy little paper-covered dream books once so much in vogue, went, rightly enough, on the theory that dreams are sym boiic. But they erred by assuming that they are always symbolic of future events. and that any particular dream element can always be interpreted as symbolic of the same kind of future event.
 Those who expect modern science to provide them with d dream manual akin to the old dream books, so that everyone may become his own inter- preter at Il glance, are consequently doomed to disappointment. Accurate dream interpretation almost always means time and effort. But 1t IS well worth the trouble it costs. All who would discover unsuspected weakness cS and defects in themselves, who would gain a maximum of health, hap piness and efficiency through right liv ing, will do we'll to seek to have their dreams analysed.
 And it is not only for the light it throws on one's nature and character that scientific dream interpretation is worth while. There are dreams which. rightly interpreted, throw light on the state of the dreamer's physical health, sometimes enabling action disease. There also are dreams which give val uable information regarding people of the dreamer's acquaintance. There are other "eXceptionaf' dreams, need- lessly looked upon with superstitious awe by many persons.

The l-oq Line.

The log line is one of the older de- vices for measuring the velocity of a ship. The log is flat is made so that it will float perpendicuIarly. To this a line is fastened, called the log line. The approximate speed of the ship can be determined by letting the line run off for, say, half il minute The length of the line run off in that time gives a basis for calculating the speed per hour. The log, during the experiment, remains stationary on the surface of the water, of course. This is the older method. A modern method involves the use of log with revolving mechanism which is dragged along in the water behind the vessel.

Success.

Success that is worth anything must be earned, must be waited patiently
 for before it is won. Our foremost
 men in every department of civil, of professional, of commercial, of literary life are gray-haired men. True, there are many promising men and women in every walk in life who are young but they are not yet ripe, and cannot be till years have passed over them. Through the years they must work on steadily, persistently, constantly, un- der Scorching suns, during long and weary days, along dusty and crowded thoroughfares, till the knowledge they have gathered and the experiences they have gone through have time to pass into wisdom.
 AS there is a class of soil-tillers who realize handsomely from the sale of early vegetables and fruits, so there are those who in different ways succeed in making Init and reaping quick pecuniary returns. But, early flowers, early vegetables, early fruits are hot house groWths, and spring from rich and highly stimulated soils. The great crops of grain which feed the world are months in growing and maturing. The great writers and thinkers held in honor by their contemporaries shed their May blossoms years and years ago, lived through their Junes and Julys and Augusts, and now in the golden autumn of their lives are reap ing their well-earned harvests.-Se- lected.

lected.

Fresh from his vacation, the minis ter faced large congregation, who were very kind in their praise of his sermon. The next Sunday a larger congregation came and listened with growing concern to the same address as before. The next Sunday he preached the sermon again. The officers of the churcE, after much con- suIting together, asked him why. The minister replied, ''Why, yes, it was the same sermon. The first Sunday you told me how fine it was, and how it was just what you needed. watched you all week, and you lived just as be- fore, so l preached it again. All the following week I watched, and you lived just the same; so, remembering that you all had said 1t was just what you needed, l preached it once more. Unless there is some sign of improve ment, don't you think I'd better plan to repeat it again2"

A Horrible Accident.

A popular sportsman, being vastly conceited about his fine figure, wore corsets to show it off. One day he was thrown from his horse and lay prone on the road. A farm laborer ran to render him assistance. The first-aid man began to feel the fallen one all over to see if any bones hap pened to be broken, and suddenly yelled out to another laborer:

 Brody Commercial Center.
 Only about two miles beyond the Russian border, the Galician town of Brody is point of great strategic im- portance on the eastern war front be- cause it controls an important railway line leading from Dubno. 35 miles to ;he northeast, to Lemberg, which is only @ miles to the southwest.
 A the beginning of the world war Brody was q thriving commercial cen- ter with population approaching 2O,- GOO, more than two-thirds of whom were Jews. Its prosperity was checked to some extent about 40 years ago, when, after having enjoyed the privi- leges of d free commercial city for exactly 100 years, it's charter was with drawn.
 Less than half a century before BrOdy was created town in the sev- enteenth century it was the scene of all important battle in which the Poles, commanded by their famous grand hetman, Stanislaus Ponieckpolski, de feated q Tartar army. This was the last battle of PonieckpoSlli's ais tinguished career. For quarter of q century he was at war with Turks and SWedes, his initiation in military science being somewhat disastrous, for he was captured by the Turks in his first important engagement and was held in close confinement for three years at Constantinople. Upon his re- lease in 1862 he was placed in com mand of the Polish republics forces and with force of 25.ga defeated 6O,- II = Y GOO Tartars at MartynoW. His achieve mentS against the army of Gustavus Adolphus were no less noteworthy than his long series of victories whereby he succeeded in keeping the Ukraine un- der Polish rule
 Brody twice suffered from dsas- trous contiagrations during the nine teenth century. The first, occurring in 1901, destroyed 1,500 houses. while the fire of 1859 reduced 1000 homes and business establishments to ashes.
 The upper waters of the Styr river form an irregular are extending from the southwest to the north of Brody, point toward the northwest. Five miles from the city. just beyond the border on the Dubno-Lemberg railway, is the Russian town of Radziwilow. with population of about 5000.
