Group lmmodesty.

Why is it that men who individu-
ally are modest to the point of timid-
ity are the very opposite when they
get together?
The United States has a number of
militia regiments which have attached
the words battling" and lighting" to
their names. They did this before
they were much more than organized
and they have retained the words
though they have seen no fighting and
smelled only the powder Of the tar
get ranges. There are clubs and as
sociations which gather, seemingly, for
no other purpose than to absorb flat
terry. The sense of self-importance
is nowhere so concentrated, so humor-
ously tangible, as in the halls where
congresses and state legislatures con-
duct their affairs.
We suppose that our friends, the
psychologists, have a manyjointed
word for this group immodesty. But
we wonder if they have a cure for it.
II appears to be increasing in our
country, and it would seem wise, if
there is remedy, to apply it speedily.

Quite a Difference.

Reference at a recent dinner was
made to the perplexities of the Eng
lish language, when this story was fit
tingly related by Zane Gray, the au-
thor of many charming stories of the
great Southwest.
Some time since young girl who
had gone through a fashionable col
lege was having highly intellectual
talk with n young nun acquaintance
when the words vision" end ''sight"
were used by the fair one.
81 think / catch the drift of our
argument, Miss Smith," said the young
man in answer to the girls last re-
mark, but please don't make the mis-
take of saying vision when sight Is
what you mean."
81 don't quite understand you, Mr..
Green" loftily returned the young
woman. "There Is absolutely no diff
ference between vision and sight 4"
ooh, yes, there is" cheerfully de-
clared Mr.. Green. walking along the
street you occasionally met girl who
is a vision, and the next minute you
may meet one who is a sight. "--Phila-

The streets of Armavir, in the south
of Russia, are as much the home OF
numerous stray dogs as was Constan
tinople only few years ago. These
dogs, as In the Turkish capital, play
espart of sanitary scavengers when
the town council forgets its functions
But the growing need of leather slim
ulated an official of Armavir to the
suggestion that the hides of dogs could
be utilized in the making Of shoes fol
the poor pupils in the. schools. The
plan was eagerly accepted.
More than 500 stray dogs were
caught, and already most of the skins
have been tanned at a factory in Vol
ovodin. 1t has been estimated that II
costs about 80 cents to tan each skin
from which five or six tops for boots
can be cat.
The leather Is being used without
dyeing, so that the shoes are a bright
yellow In color The Armavir council
has thus provided at least 5000 school
children with cheap footwear.

YOU" And as he spoke he put his
arms about her, and she forgot all the
all, she sang as she washed the dish

and the song was heard next door,
and a woman there caught the refrain
and sang also, and two houses were
happier because he had told her that
sweet old story of the love of nus.
band for wife. AS she sang the
butcher boy who had called for the

superstitlons About the Cat.

In its mental and moral processes,
aloof and mysterious, the cat has
been regarded since time immemorial
as possessing attributes suggesting the
supernatural. Thus one is not sur
prised to find 1t u favorite companion
of witches. The japanese look upon
it in a similar light, and one of the
folklore traditions Of Nippon relates
to a demon cat that returns to earth
once in each generation to kill mem
Der of one Of the noble families Of
that countryside Nebishlma, whose
name Is associated with a celebrated
pottery--in revenge for some ancient
slight to the feline tribe. 1t is a theme
about which more than one japanese
stage play has revolved.

True Marriage.

sympathy, reverence, intellectual
equality-these are the foundations OF
marriage, as of the nobler and deeper
forms of friendship. Look back on our
friendship, and ask: Would it have
been what it is without the vivid sym
pathy, which made us helpful to one
another? Would it have been what il
is if each had not found something in
the other which raised and exalted
him? If / had not found worth anC
truthfulness and unselfshness in you
If you had not found in me (however
myself fall short of it), striving tC
hold up to you the ideal of worth, OF
devotion to truth, of faith in truth
And remember, friendship such as this
merges in marriage-it is meet and
right that it is so. But the marriage
must give you in the wife all-ay, II
may give thousandfold more than al
it takes away in the friend.-J. r
