May Account for coIors.

What was the color of the original
man? There is an old legend that
Adam was red, based on the assump-
ton that it was red earth (triturated
"old red sandstone" perhaps) from
which the Almighty nodded him; but
Tabari, the Arabian theological his
torian, asserts that, when God wished
to make Adam he instructed Gabriel to
bring him handful of every sort Of
clay-black. white, red, yellow, blue
and every other kind. This, perhaps,
was intended to explain how Adams
descendants became so many-colored.
DeQuatrefages, who championed the
'monogenist idea, found reasons for
thinking that the first human species
had yellowish complexion and red
hair.

Many Barred Zones.

Naturally, war efforts at protection
should be kept secret, but it is neces-
sary to give peaceful traffic an idea of
their whereabouts in order to avoid ac-
cident. The double purpose is accom-
plished by declaring barred zones of
considerable extent. Everyone knows
that somewhere In these zones the
deadly explosives are hidden and traf-
fic is limited to certain hours. Thus,
for example, the approach to the CAPT.
tai by way OF the Potomac is defended
aYGa barred zone which includes the
government proving grounds, where
the big guns are tested.

Moro Approprlate.

One of the big eastern structural companies having a contract to build q travelling crane above a coal-handling plant at dock, decided to employ a surgeon to remain lon the job." The honored one was given note which read: s'Please hand this to the fore man in charge and tell him that you will look after any of the men who may be injured by falling from the work" The doctor without ado went out to the plant. He looked up at the false work that was being built in preparation for the crane, and it was so high that the men on 1t looked like Lilliputians. He thought of the possi- bilities if one of them should fall to the dock and he said to the foreman: |: 'I think the company made mistake. It should have addressed this letter to an undertaken"

Only a Beginner.

An old farmer was driving along a lane along a golf course and stopped for a moment to watch the game. "What's that?' he demanded curious ly. "Golf," was the reply. "Want to try your hand, uncle?" Don't mind if I do," declared the farmer, wrapping the lines around the dashboard and climbing down. The players gave him a few points about hazards and bog ies, and finally one pointed to flag on a hill 25O yards away. "At the foot of that pole,' he said, 'is little hole. The object is to put this ball in the hole with the smallest number of strokes" The farmer took the club, sighted for some time. and then let go a whale of stroke. The ball scared with mighty swish into the air, and fled unerringly toward the flag. It fell short, bounced, rolled and wound up a hands breadth from the Objective-a phenomenal shot that made the experienced players gasp. 'By golly, missed U" the farmer ex- claimed-Everybody's Magazine.

Proper View of Life.


 Why is 1t. T wonder, that the little boy almost always fmaginea that out side of home is to be found the larger liberty? Why do young men fondly dream that wonder, always wonder, is to be round business opportunity? :? Why does the dissolute man conclude that, outside the common virtues of society, he is to find the larger life? For you, my son, will sometime find that your largest liberty was in the old home, where, If there was author ity, there was also deep and abiding love; and you, my friend, will find that others succeeded in, your home town, while you failed in the world; and you, my liberty-loving man, will most surely realize, that in the com mon virtues of the simply good life is to be found what you seek in the by-paths of the world. Find the wealth that lies everywhere about you. Prac' tice the virtues that you know. Cher ish the love that is yours now. Value the friends that you have known; and In the supesfcial you will find the profound, and in the simple things the things eternal.-St. Johns Bulle- tin. f'

The Best Courage.

No true manliness can be realized where courage Is not present-cou- rage, as denoting not merely that keen instinct of battle which displays itself in stimulating settlements, in the heat of contest, in the crisis which pushes one to self-vindication, or in passion championship of favorite opinions, but as representing what Is ampler than this, and also finer: Strength of heart, strength to endure as we'll as attack, to pursue and achieve as well as to attempt, to sacrifice self altogether, if need be, on behalf of any controll- ing conviction. A thorough consent of judgment, conscience. imagination, af- lection, all vitalized and active. with certain invincible flrmness of will, as the effect of such a consent-this is implied in a really abounding and masterful courage.-Richard Salter Storr.

The sumatran Widows Flag.

A good many formalities must be ob- served by the women of Sumatra be- fore they can lay aside their widows weeds. Immediately after the hus- bands death the disconsolate widow places flagstaff in front of her door, and on this flag is raised. As long as the flag remains untorn by the wind etiquette forbids her to marry, but with the appearance of the first rent she can lay aside her mourning garb, begin to take notice. and to receive offers of marriage. It would seem, therefore that much depends on the strenuous ness of the season, the favorableness of the gales, and the quality of the material used in the construction o1 the flag.
