Substituting the Poet.

We seem to be as much at sea in
this matter as they were about 120 A.
d., when the critic cursed the town
for keeping alive so many poets and
cursed it again for starving so many
of them wanted TO know how a man
could behold the horses Of the chariot
of the sun if he had TO grub for a liv-
ing, and wanted to drive most
poets back to grubbing for a liy-
ing as soon as he observed their man
ner of beholding the horses of the
chariot of the sun said you ought to
fatten poets to make them sing, and
became violently angry the moment
a fat poet began singing; blamed a
rich man for feeding a pet lion instead
OF substituting some author at much
less expense, and was all for feeding
the author to the lion on reading what
he wrote. He wanted authors pro-
tected, but the literary choices made
by the protector almost drove him
mad.-The New Republic.

Keeping Out the Heat.

When the Bedouins of the desert go
on a caravan journey In the heat of
the summer, they wrap themselves up
In their wooden cloaks so as to be fully,
but not tightly enveloped. Then they
wrap the ends of their kaffiah, or head
dress, loosely around their faces, leav-
ing only their eyes and nose exposed.
They say hat 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 a tenn
perature 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 sur. Something must be done
for protection against the heat under
foot as well as the heat over head.

SCRUPLES ON MEAT AND DAYS
Two Questions Over Which the Early
Christians Found Themselves In
Differing Attitudes.

In PauIs day there was the ques-
ton of meat offered to idols. Much
of the market product was Of this
character; 1t had been used In sacri-
fee to the pagan gods. Was it, there
fore, tainted with .heathenism? Might
a Christian eat it? If he did, might
he not be accused of participating in
the idolatrous ceremoniesf To Paul
himself an idol was nothing; the serv-
fees did nothing to the meat he could
eat 1t without question. and so advised
his Corinthian friends. Yet he recog-
nlzed special cases where he and
others would abstain because of the
law of love and the conscientious
scruples of another.
The other vexed question arose over
the gradual substitution of Sunday
for Saturday, as the Sabbath rest
day. The Lords day, the day of
resurrection, the first day, became the
generally accepted Christian Sabbath.
Some Jewish Christians felt this TO
be very wrong, and indeed there are
fine, stalwart Christians today who
feel as they did. But the great ma
jority took the view that the leading
of the spirit warranted the departure
from the letter.-The Christian Her

BIRD OF GREAT VERSATILITY
Parrot Is the Best Imltator Of Sounds
and Only %Feathered Creature
Taking Food In Claws.

IL appears that IL is not only in
Initiating human speech that the par
rot excels most of the birds. II is
alone among birds in taking food in Its
claws. With these two Characters
ucs' remarks a writer in the Washing
ton Evening Star, 1t makes more or
less use Of that which distinguishes
humanity from the rest Of the animal
kingdom-the hand and the larynx.
The monkey uses its hands and the
elephant its trunk in feeding. Various
animals have a 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 a hen in scratch
Ing for food. However, there is no
other bird which, when presented with
a piece of food, will accept 1t ia its
claws.
Parrots do not, of course. talk, as
the word is used, in their wild state
and are not known to be initiative of
~neighboring sounds, nor to possess the
repertory Of the hooking bird. IT is,
therefore, ACQUISITION whether or not
their use Of the claws is largely imlta-
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.

RESPONSIBILITY Is ON FATHER
