N GOOD HABIT NO CuLTINATE

The cultivation of love and forbear-
ance for others is one of the safest
habits to form; and this love should be
cultivated without inquiring whether
others deserve that love or not. 1t is
always difficult for any human being
to know surely whether another de-
serves our love, for we never know
the heart, and we cannot see behind
the scenes. Only God can truly judge;
it is for us to love and to help. and
let God do the judging and the criti-
cising. This attitude of caring and
trying to aid by sympathy can be
formed like any other habit, and once
formed it takes the place of indiffer-
ence and intolerance, opening up our
whole lives 10 faith and light.-The
Christian Herald.

ANTS PROVIDED WITH LIGHT
Curious Phenomenon That Has for
Some Time Attracted Attention
Of Scientists.

There has been observed a curious
phenomenon connected with the nests
of the Brazilian white ants or termites.
These, when seen on the headwaters
of the Rio Verde, seem to be covered
with tiny stars, which give the nest
the aspect of a miniature tower brill
liantly illuminated. When the nest is
struck with q stick the lights go out,
only to reappear again little by little.
Castelnau, in the middle Of the last
century, reported similar spectacle
near the city of Goyaz. According to
his account, the lights were produced
by an immense number of small phos-
phorescent larvae, which withdrew in
to the galleries of the mound when
an attempt was made to capture them.
It has been pointed out by several
authorities that these exhibitions are
probably confined to some particular
species or to some special occasion
or conditions of termite life, since
many scientists have spent consider
able periods of investigation in Brazil
without seeing them.

KNOW HOW TO SAY G00D-BY
When Time Comes to Go Don't Try to
Be Diplomatic About II, Pris-
oner Says.

Nothing is more embarrassing than
not to know how to say good-by. The
predicament places one at a gross dis
advantage. He becomes awkward,
clumsy, fioundering. His hands are
nams and his fingers swollen fra X
furters. He stands round ready and
willing to go, but doesn't know how to
break away. He wants to go, feels
that others would like to see him
vamoose, that he has overstayed his
welcome and that his presence is q
trespass on hospitality, but he STAN
mers, halts, hesitates, mumbles and
is all messed up over the matter Of
saying good-by and getting out.
He would thank his lucky stars il
some "bouncer" would come along and
end the agony by throwing him out.
Now, remember, there's only one
thing to do in a case like that, when
you have got thing to say, say it..
Just say "Good-by" and be honest and
not diplomatic about it and see how
nicely you settle the difficulty.-From
the New Era, Federal Penitentiary,
