DECEPTION THAT is COMMON
Nations Affected in Peculiar Way by
What May Be Called the su-
preme Law of Irony.

The Christian nations offer many H.
Illustrations of the law Of irony. They
profess the citizenship of heaven, the
exclusive worship of eternal good and
never has the hungry pursuit of perish
able joys, the love of this world, or the
thirst for conquest been stronger or
more active than among these nations.
Their official motto is exactly the re-
verse of their real aspiration. Under
a false flag they play the smuggler
with droll case of conscience.
Is the fraud a conscious one? No
it Is but an application Of the law of
irony. The deception is so common
that the delinquent becomes uncon-
scious of 1t. Every nation gives itself the
lie in the course Of its daily life, and
not one feels the ridicule of It's posi-
ton. A man must be a Japanese to
perceive the burlesque contradictions
Of the Christian civilization. He must
be a native of the moon to understand
the stupidity of man, and his state
of constant delusion.-F'rom 1.-THE Law
Of Irony" by Henry Frederic Amiel.

investigation, not only of the vague
charges aired by Thomas w. Lawson

truth or falsity Of all charges or in

DADDY COULDN'T GET AWAY
Friend Had to Admire the Baby, Not
Knowing Mother Was Waiting
in the Street.

He is pretty nice baby boy and
the parents, particularly daddy, are
proud of Billy. The three of them
were on a Central avenue car, on their
way downtown, daddy and Billy occu-
pying one seat; the mother another not
far away. Billy was attracting con-
siderable attention from the passen-
gers, which kept daddy smiling be
nignly and quite occupied with his
heir. He did not seem to realize that
he would finally reach the street at
which he was to alight, but became
suddenly aware of the fact when he
noticed the car had stopped and he
saw his wife leaving the car at the
front door.
Passengers enjoyed his hasty grab
of Billy, with view to making exit,
but before he could get away man
he knew entered the car and, not
knowing of the fathers intentions,
blocked the seat while he chucked the
baby under the chin, told the father
what fine boy he had, etc. In the
meantime the passengers continued to
be amused, but this time at the father,
the mother in the meantime standing
in the street.
The conductor doubtless thought of
many things he could say, but laughter
got the best of him, and, with the be-
lated theatergoers, he waited good-na-
turedly for the excited parent to break
away and let the car proceed.-Indian-

Keeping Out the Heat.

When the Bedouins of the desert go
on caravan journey in the heat of
the summer they wrap themselves up
In their wooden cIoals 50 as TO be fully,
but not tightly enyeloped. Then they
wrap the ends Of their katliah, or head
dress, loosely around their faces, lcav-
ing only their eyes aud nose exposed.
They say that the covering keeps out
the heat. Henry Martyr. the first
modern missionary to the Moslems,
followed their example. When he was
travelling through Persia on his way
back TO the home in England that he
never reached, he encountered tenn
pcrature of 100 degrees in the shade,
so he wrapped himself up In his
blanket. The practice of covering up
the chin and mouth is most excellent.
The sands Of the desert reflect like a
metal mirror the heat and glare of the
blazing sun. Something must be done
for protection against the heat under
foot rs well as the heat over head.

THURSDAY, JANUARY %, 1917

On what slender thread hangs des'
tiny is revealed by the life of the late
Admiral Dewey. When boy in Yer
mont he had an ambition for military
career. There was no vacancy in the
West Point appointments from his
state, however, SO he accepted an ap-
pointment to the naval academy at
Annapolis as the next best thing.
Graduating in the class OF 1893, he saw
service in the Civil war, but no oppor-
tunity TO achieve distinction thrust it,
self upon him. When, after thirty
years of uneventful service, he was
given command Of the Asiatic squadron
at the beginning oflS9S, Dewey thought
Fate was playing him a shabby trick.
The Spanish American war was then
looming up as a strong possibility but
nobody thought that the Asiatic squad
ron would have an important part to
play it. But Dewey's long-deierred
chance to distinguish himself came
with the order TO capture or destroy
the Spanish squadron il Manila bay,
and how he acquitted himself is a
glorious page OF history.
Had Dewey's boyhood ambition to
become an officer in the army been re-
allied, he might never have been
heard Of, though it is possible OF course
that he might have carved out great
name for himself in that branch OF the
service. But had be not been "shely-
ed" with the Aslatic squadron at a
time when it was thought the naval
battles of the impending war would
be fought in the Atlantic ocean, IL Is
quite certain that another man would
have been the hero OF Manila Bay.
All of which goes to show seeming
misfortunes are sometimes blessings
in the long run and that There is a
destiny that shapes our ends, rough
hew them as we may"

BIRD or GREAT VERSATILITY
Parrot Is the 5est imitator of Sounds
and Only Feathered Creature
Taking Food in Claws.

1t appears that 1t is net only In
initiating human speech that The par
rot eXcels most of the birds. 1t is
alone among birds In taking food in its
claws. With these two Characters
tics, remarks a writer in the Washing
ton Evening Star, it makes more or
less use of that which distinguishes
humanity from the rest of the animal
klngdom-the hand and the larynx.
Tho monkey uses it's hands and the
elephant its trunk in feeding. Various
animafs have. habit of paving their
food. Rodents have serviceable toes.
Still, the parrot is pre-eminent among
birds in this regard. The secretary
bird Is said to attack reptiles with its
claws, and some observers have said
that owls make partial use of their re-
markably flexible perching toe some
what more than does hen in scratch
ing for food. However, there is no
other bird which, when presented with
piece Of food, will accept it in its
claws.
Parrots do not OF course, talk, as
the word is used, in their wild state
and are not known 10 be initiative of
neighboring sounds, nor to possess the
repertory of the hooking bird. 1t is,
therefore, a question whether or not
their use of the claws is largely imita-
tive also. The shape of the parrots
beak would indicate that some assist
ance in eating has always been a part
Of the birds characteristics.
Like man, the parrot makes its APP
pearance in the world naked and help
less.
