The Serious Ghetto.

Americans r accustomed to say
that nothing can be really good that
does not chow n sense of humor.' A
person wfo, no matter what his de-
fects may be, has that irradiating
light, is saved. and 1t Is that quality
in u book which we pick up with per-
haps the greatest approval. But the
serious Ghetto is entirely lacking In
the genial sense cf humor. The Rus
sian Jews do moi l.now how to play,
either pL ysically or intellectually.
There is no play ID their art, their
literature, or their life. They do not
understand what is light and grace
full. Charm of the mere evanescent
kind, the charm of the nuance, is lack
ing, The spirit and the art Of the
japanese are the opposites of the
spirit and the art of the Ghetto Jew.
The young men Of the Ghetto-those
of the Intellectual type-pass their
nights, after working hard all day, in
serious conversations In which there
is no lightness Of humor, although
there may be, and often 10, a sense
of the iDccngruous or of the ridicu-
lous."-Hatchins Hapgood, In the Cen.

CUBA HAS MINERAL WEALTH
Is Essentially an Agricultural Country,
But Other Resources Are Now
Attracting Attention.

Cuba is essentially an agricultural
country, but the mineral
have of late years attracted attention,
so that the products Of the land prom
ise TO be more diversified as Cuba be-
comes better understood.
The province of Oriente, as Santiago
Is now known, is the richest as regards
mineral wealth. At the beginning of
1913 there were 1910 mines registered,
metals produced being iron, copper,
manganese, gold, mercury, zinc. lead,
silver and anthony; coal, asphalt, as
bestos and petroleum We're produced
also. Other provinces have registered
about the same kind of metals, some
with the addition of sulphur. The as
phalt beds of Cuba, 1t Is believed, and
the bltumen deposits In general will
eventually prove superior TO any others
in the world. The possibilities of a
great industry from them are already
promising. Some oil has also been pro-
duced in Cuba. Mineral waters of
great merit are found at n number of
points In the island, and the springs
have for years been popular among the
inhabitants.

INDlAH TRIBE HAD WIRELESS
South American Red Men, as Long
Ago as 1898, Used Unique System
Of Communication.

In these days of wireless telegraphy
1t may be interesting to learn that as
long ago as July. 1898, there was re.
corded the discovery of a wireless tele.
graphic apparatus In use among the
Catuquinaru, m Indian tribe of the
Amazon valley In South America, the
Geographic Journal states.
The apparatus, called cambarysu,
consists OF a hole In the ground about
half filled with coarse sand above this
layers of fine sand, fragments of wood
and bone and powdered mica fill 1t al.
most to the surface of the ground.
These materials are surrounded by a
case of hard palm wood, which ex-
tends above the surface. The upper
part of the apparatus consists Of lay
ers of hide, wood and hard rubber.
Between the upper layers and the
lower layers there Is n hollow space.
With a club, much like the stick used
to play the bass drum, the native
strikes the layer OF rubber that forms
the top of the Instrument.
One Of these instruments is con-
cealed In each hamlet of the tribe. The
villages are not more than n mile
apart and placed In a direct north
and south line, Although n person
standing outside the building In which
the apparatus is kept cannot hear a
blow Of the stick on the rubber top, II
Is quite distinct in n similar building
a mile distant. When of these in
struments Is struck the nelghboring
ones to the north and south echo the
blow. The Indian stationed at each
one of the posts answers the signal,
and by means of code messages II long
conversation may be carried on.

On the Editor.

A magazine editor Of New York
prides himself on his knowledge Of
poetry and on his delicate critical
sense Of the same. His friends often
joke him about this.
A noted illustrator laid on the edi-
tors desk the other day a couplet that
ran:
Help us save free conscience from
the paw
OF hireling wolves whose gospel u
their maw."
The editor read the couplet then
laughed heartily.

George, It sounds like you. Better suck

IS BEST Of ASSETS
Character Enables One to Win
Great Battles OF Life.
The Gutter Falls Because He Lacks
Strength Of viii That Regards
Discouragements as
Incentives. .

"God Almighty hate a.quitter !" said
Tom Reed of Maine. The nation
roared applause fromsthe Atlantic to
the Pacific ana from the lakes to the
gulf for the virile vigor of this rough
expression Of manhood. The sentiment
Is M of perennial value.
But what makes the man who does
not know when he Is defeated and
fights to the finish, be the finish his
or his opponents? asks the Spokane
(Wash.) Review Is 1t not character ;
and Is not character at bottom only
the moral equivalent Of stalwart
backbone?
The gutter fails and falls because
he lacks the force of character, the
strength of will, which sees possible
ties beyond capacities and regards
obstacles as opportunities, discourage
ment as incentives. The fight which
is worth attempting at all is the fight
which deserves to be fought through.
Its logged as does It," as when
Hoenan said to Sayers. "Now, Tum-
my, lad, It's thou or II" and won the
last round and match.
There was character. 1t may not
have been ideal character. 1t GER
tainly was not character in its high
est expression. But 1t was the sum
of the mans whole personality. An
the power of him, all the plth and
punch of invincible determination
went into the winning of his fight.
The bulldog shows the same strength
Of will when he let's himself be
choked or cut to pieces rather than
let go his grip ON the other dogs
jugular.
1t is this readiness TO be killed, il
need be, IL one cannot best ones ad-
versary, which wins the battle of life
for men and the wars of nations for
their existence. Such a readiness Is a
form of character aud the product,
whether awares or unawares, vf n
fight to achieve character. 1t is the
reaction Of the spirit to the long
working life and circumstances upon
the raw and plastic ore of human
nature.
Make money, then, and 10 so hon
orably. Get understanding-for the
sake of social service as well as your
own growth. Win power over men
through right methods Of approach
and appeal. But with all your get
ting and gains achieve character
above all.
Nothing can take the place of char
acter. 1t knows no substitute. Clever
ness, cunning and shrewdness are
paper money. Character is the gold
which alone gives them value. Pier
pont Morgan rated character above
collateral as security for loans and
credit. Character is the best of oil
assets.

MosIem Women Want Monosamy.

In Tomss, Siberia, Moslem women at
a mass meeting demanded that polyg-
amy. as q tenet of religion as well as
a practice, cease. Moslems make up
II per cent Of the entire Russian popu-
