Importance of Discipline.

There is not that thing in the world of more grave and urgent importance throughout the life of man, than is dis cipline. What need I instance? He that hath read with judgment of nations and commonwealths, of cities and camps, of peace and war, sea and land. will readily agree that the dourishing and decaying of all civil societies, ali the movements and turn ings of human occasions, are moved to and fro as on an axle of discipline. So that whatsoever power and sway in mortal things weaker men have attrib- uted to fortune, I durst with more confidence ascribe either to the vigor or the slackness of discipline. And certainly discipline is not only the re- moval of disorder but the very visible shape and image of vir- tues; whereby she is not only seen in the regular gestures and motions of her heavenly peace as she walks, but qlso makes the harmony of her voice audible to mortal ear9.-Milton.

The FutlIity of Maxims.

All people of broad, strong sense have an instinctive repugnance to the men of maxims; because such people early discern that the mysterious com plexity of our life is not to be em- braced by maxims, and that to lace ourselves up in formulas of that sort is to repress all the divine promptings and inspirations that spring from growing insight and sympathy. Ana the man of nlaxims is the popular rep resentative of the minds that are guid' ed in their moral judgment solely by general rules, thinking that these wiR lead them to justice by ready-made patent method, without the trouble or exerting patience, discrimination, inn partiality-without any care to assure themselves whether they have the ln' sight that comes from hardly earned estimate of talnptation, or from nfe vivid and intense enough to have ere ated a wide fellow feeling with al that is human.-George Eliot.

Making the Ear Useful.

The ornamental possibilities of the ear were probably developed first, per- haps in the way of hooks for catching back floral draperies. Then, most like iy, some one discovered that the ear was convenient to hang a bunch of grapes on when interrupted in the midst of a repast. Perhaps the next cave man began to use his ears for the purpose of slowing away a few extra thorns when he was on fish, ing trip. The development of the ears for both ornamental and utilitariar purposes was undoubtedly rapid. and modern man has merely continued the customs of his prehistoric ancestors, making the ear useful for holding pencil, a pen, a pair of eyeglasses or an extra cigarette, while modern won1' an perpetuates the decorative customs by having her ears pierced and using them to suspend various metals and precious stones.

Free Feed for 1owery Bums.


 It isn't very often that the Bowery is lucky enough to get feed, but recently there was the lucky day. About eight o'clock, just as the street was waken- ing up, bakery wagon, in a frenzy to get somewhere, bumped along the thor oughfare. On the curbs on either side were seated those ragged men who, either rightly or erroneously, have reached the conclusion that they do not count, and who therefore work not. As the bounding wagon reached the rendezvous of rest its rear doors opened out came pan after pan of bread, jelly doughnuts, tarts, rolls, lay CT cake and biscuits. An elevated train passing above provided a chatter which drowned the sound of the falling pans, and by the time the bakery wagon had gone block there was not a cooki' or crust remaining in the street. Down. and-outers, who have not proceeded faster than a slouch for years, werl running east, west and south from the scene of the bakery wagon like boltf from the so-called blue. The driver returned to collect the pans, distrib. uted streetful of snappy language and drove dolefully away. And along the Bowery there was an air of con- tentment all day.

Exclusive Turkey Farms.

Exclusive turkey ranches are found in the unsettled foothill regions of Gal nornia and in parts of Arizona and other Western states, where 1000 or more turkeys are raised each season. The establishments are located where the range is unlimited and the natural food of the turkey, such as grasshop. pcrs and other insects, green vege- tables and the seeds of various weeds and grasses is abundant. Advantage also is taken on these ranches of the turkeys relish for acorns, and where these are plentiful, but little grain need be used for fattening in the falL The large flocks of turkeys are man. aged much like herds of sheep, being taken out to the range early in the morning and brought home to roost at night. They are herded during the day by men either on foot or on horse back. and by dogs especially trained for the work.

Psychology of Responsibility.

The saying runs that as soon as a lieutenant is made commander he begins to carry a stick, and as soon as commander becomes a captain he "turns religious" says the London Mall. For Justification of the latter part of this assertion there exists the undoubted fact that naval captains are mostly serious-minded men who give some thought to the greater things of life. Possibly their hours of loneliness may conduce to this frame of mind, though for the most part their leisure hours are given up to study of mat ters connected with their calling. One well.known captain there was who used to hold prayer meetings, which any member of the ships company could attend. "Remember, there are no rates to Le picked up here," the captain would warn them before the meetings started, meaning hat anyone who came there hoping to curry favor and thus get promoted would be dis. appointed. And ir this the captain was always az good as his word.

Explains Rock Formation.

Rock formation, like other physi. cal and chemical phenomena" says Dr.. Arthur L. Day, director of the Geophysical Laboratory, "is the result of certain forces acting upon certain forms of matter. An exact knowledge of rock formation accordingly will de. pend upon the ability to establish defl- nitely the characteristic properties of these particular forms of matter and to measure the forces which act in each case. The facts that in nature the individual rock-forming minerals do not occur in great purity, and that the active forces are applied over a great range of conditions and long pc. riods of time, merely cucumber the problem with technical. difficulties of considerable magnitude; they do not confuse its analysis."

Fatigue Caused by Acid Accumulation

The cause of muscular fatigue was one of the subjects to be explained by the candidates before the Medical Council of Canada at it's last examina- ton. Halliburton's Physiology. which is quoted as the authority, says mus cular fatigue is due to the cGnsump. tion of substances available for the supply of energy in the muscle, but more particularly to the accumulation of waste products of contraction. Of these sarcolactic acid is an important one. Fatigue may be artificially in- duced in muscle by feeding 1t with weak solution of tactic acid, and then removed by washing out the muscle with salt solution containing a minute trace of 1kali. If the muscle is left to itself ia the body the blood stream washes away the accumulation of acid products and fatigue passes of.

Modern ldeas Of Greatness.

When we ask what 1t Is chat we moderns deem to constitute greatness among the men of our own or a com- paratively recent time, we feel that the standard has somewhat changed. We set less store by monarchs, for they do not fill the stage of the world as they once did, although some of them have still large opportunities for doing good or harm. Neither do we give quite such special honor to military glory as former ages did. Nevertheless, the es. sential qualities that dazzle the eyes of man may be still the same. I speak chiefly of the greatness that consists ir action, for the ruler, the statesman and the warrior do their work in the sight of the world and can be judged by it, whereas the poet or the philoso- pher may have long to wait for rectg- milton, and even a supreme scientific discovery may not be appreciated un. til long years have been spent in work. ing out its applications.-James Bryce In Youths Companion.

ono on the Judge.

A judge, who used to wear very long waving hair and a heavy beard, one day was on his way to court when he was accosted by a little street boot black, with an exceedingly dirty face, with the customary "Shine, sir?" He was very importunate and the judge being impressed with the terrible state of the boys face, said: 'I don't want a shine, but if you'll ge and wash your face, I'll give you slxpence. "All right, sir" "Well, let me see you do It." The boy went to a neighbor. Ing fountain and made his abfutions. Returning, he Eeld out his hand for the sixpence. The judge said: well. you earned the money. Hero 1t iAS But the bcy said: "I don't want yous money, old fellow. You can take it and have your hair cut" and forth with scampered oil.
